Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
- History and Stupidity Repeat Together

Whom the gods would destroy. ac-
cording to the old saying, they first
make mad; and the madness which
descended on Kaiser Wilhelm's
Germany during the World War
days sees to be playing a return
engagement with the Germany of
Adolf Hitler.
The kaiser'S Germany had every
thing to gain by remaining on
friendly terms with the United
States. The job wasn't easy; the
agents of the allies we're flooding
the United States with their propa-
ganda, there was q strong senti-
mental leaning toward England and
France anyway and things like the
invasion of Belgium and the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania had made
am extremely bad impression.
But the job might have been
done. just the same, if it had been
handled right. With fathomless
stupidity, the kaiser's henchmen
proceeded to handle it wrong in eV
cry particular.
They sent spies across the coun-
try, concocted clumsy plots to sa-
botage American industrial produc-
ton, did the whole business SO in
eptly that men like Won Papen
and Boy-Ed were presently revealed
Before the whole country for what
they were; and in the course of
time so much American ill-will was
aroused and so many Americans
learned to look at Germany as an
enemy that President Wilson had
little trouble getting a declaration
of war.
More than 20 years have passed
since then. Having lost the World
War because it permitted its own
stupidity to turn the United States
into an enemy, the German govern
ment might have been expected to
learn. But the same sorry story
is being repeated-as witness the
SPY trial in New York.
Once more German spies are op-
Grating in the United States. AS
of old, their capacity for making
blunders seems to exceed their ca
pacity for helping the fatherland;
and as a result the beans have been
thoroughly spilled and the whole
mess is out in the open.
And how dumb it all is!
After the war there was great
change of sentiment in the United
States. People began to realize
that tho peace treaty was unjust.
that the war itself had not been all
Germanys fault and that most OF
the war; time judgments were hasty
and ill-considered. A real feeling
of sympathy for Germany arose.
Even the eXcesses of the Hitler
government didn't entirely destroy
this sympathy. However much Am
ericans may have disapproved OF
the ways of a dictatorship, they at

The Business Boom :.
HOtc to Spend 1t :.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHlN(I lON.-ECOllOilllC uopt-
sters who expect something OF a
business boom this winter have
been trying tc figure out how peo-
pie will spend their money when it
comes. They conclude a lot OF
money will be put into home-build-
ing and they think that's fine.
The fact that more houses have
been built this year than last, de-
spite the sharp recession, indicates
a strong trend which presumably
will make itself even more evident
when business seems definitely on
the upgrade.
Money put into housing, the
economists figure, not only provides
a relatively large amount of en-
ployment but is spread over a wider
area and through a longer time
period with the result that it con-
tributes to sound recovery. Martin
Taitel. head of Leon Henderson's
administration clearing house of
economic information, prefers to be
conservative in his estimates, but
suggests about 100000 dwelling
units may be built next year. COM
pared with around 10000 in 1898.
Because at least 10 per cent OF
the cost of q house has be paid in
cash and few care TO draw on their
savings in hard times, the state
Of the country'S savings has an i'm
portant bearing on housing pros
poets. Taitel says, the savings just
weren't there, roughly speaking, in
1888 1886, that they were built up
through 1887 and that the 1878
recession wiped out no large portion
of them People generally have
built up personal supplies of cloth
ing. furniture and similar articles.
A vacancy percentage of around
Is has gone down to or per
cent and rents have decreased lit
Tie in the last year. Building costs
are relatively high, but the index
figure on them is about 112 as COM
pared with 1T year ago.
All these factors are considered
encouraging.
If Chairman Dies of the House
"isms" investigating committee
wants the Labor Department to
continue investigating the Pacific
Coast labor leader, Harry Bridges
and ne has persistenly demanded
Bridges eportation-he had better
return the departments files.
Dies asked for both the Wash
ington and Portland files on the
Bridges case and got them. He
hasn't returned them. Officials say
they include some very recent affi-
davits mentioning Bridges, which
they would like to check up on.
Although Dies has shown no in
tlination to summon Bridges, whom
he and others call a Communist,
he may call II. p. Bonham, district
director Of the immigration service
at Seattle. who claShed with his
superiors when he tried to force
quick action against the labor lead
er.
In that case Secretary Perkins
herself, who publicly spoofed Dies,
may go on the stand. More like

absence last August at the height
of the vacation season was regarded
by Dies committee members as "sus-
ricious'
