Buddies are good-natured and
not too particular about man
ners, pollteness, duty, decency,
and a few other matters that are
in the makeup of gentlemen.
Buddies can always spare a
dime, take a drink, tell a dirty
story. Education and culture are
jokes to "buddies". The Lord
loves them because they are
good-hearted. So does everybody
who doesn't have to make them
do anything, for they are lazy,
inefficient and stubborn.
An intelligent" army of just
plain "buddies", without superb
ors in education, responsibility
and idealism and the capacity to
lead them, would spend it CAM
raign drinking, gambling, chas-
ing, and telling dirty stories. AS
a Colonel in the Kentucky
army" Pegler should know this,
Buddies are nice,-but their
ncclzs are rough.

rebuke to Germany through Acting
Secretary of State Sumner Welles
was not calculated to cause a diplo-
matte breach. But amicable rela-
tionS were more strained than at
any time 3ince the World war be-
cause of Welles' refusal to apollo
gize for or to express disagreement
with a speech delivered by Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes.
For the present, the result of the
diplomatic clash depended upon the
German government. 1t was stated
officially that the next move, II
any, must come from there 1t was
emphasized that the future OF
German American relations may
depend upon the action Germany
takes.
According to high administration
officials, President Roosevelt was
determined not to back down, and
is prepared, if necessary, to at
tempt to force Germany to live up
to the terms of its friendship"
treaty which guaranteed the pei
sonal liberty and the rights of en-
terprise of all Americans residing
in Germany.
The present situation was created
at a conference Wednesday be-
tween Welles and Dr. Hans Thom-
sen, charge daffaires of the Ger
man embassy and ranking member
of the German diplomatic stat,
here since the recall of Ambassador
Hans H. Dieckhoff.
Thomson protested and demand
ed an apology for Ickes' speech iii
Cleveland Sunday night in which
he condemned persecution of Jews.
Welles refused to accept the pro-
test and, in addition, severely crit
icized the German government
controlled press for "unjustified"
attacks on Mr.. Roosevelt and men,
bers of his cabinet, and former
President Woodrow Wilson.
Welles then refused to officially
express regret that Ickes' remarks
had been made.
State department officials re-
called that no satisfactory answer
yet has been given by Germany
regarding the status of Americans
and American owned property in
Germany as result of recent anti
Semitic decrees-the cause of long
continued conversations and dip
lomatic exchanges.
Any move by Germany to in
clude American residents and bus
mess interests in the provisions OF
those DEGREES, designed to force
all Jews out of business, would
create an extremely serious situa-
ton. Officials believed that any
action along that line would force
a complete break of diplomatic re-
lationS.
