last three days and written by Morgan M Beatty of the Associated Press. MT Beatty gives excellent short summary of the character of the who today rules 75 100000 people in Germany and Austria He makes no attempt anayze the qualities which have made Hitler leader but he points out graphically some of those qualities and doing he gives key to the remarkable philosophy which makes the Der Feuhrer a world figure today.
 Probably outstanding among them is the daunted confidence he has in himself. Nothing. MT, Beattys account reveals has discouraged Hitler from attaining the goal he set for himself Thrown in prison when his first attempt at purge ended dis astrously in 1923. he spent his time writing book, setting forth bis political ideas for the government of his fatherland Men with lesser courage and egotsm would been finished politically under such con- ditions But not Hitler, He had the determination to stick to his purpose True his purpose conflicts with large part of the modern worlds ideals of mans existence but the fact that he has become one the most political figures in the world reveals that he never lost sight of his goal let the world say what it chooses.
 Success is the only earthly judge of right or wrong" has been and is the Hitler motto and he has proven it the premise that might makes right also disputed point with most of us
 As we Americans with our ideals our high busi- ness ethics and aims at Humanitarian principles view the leader there is little in the character of the which appeals to us We think of him as tyrant and throwback to the dark ages of ruthless rulers. But must admit he has quality for stay ing with his ambition which has rarely been exceled The world can't keep man Ike that down no matter whether it agrees with what he is doing or attempt ing to do.
 There's lot in that sentence. success is the only earthly judge of right wrohg The conflict between Hitler and the rest of the world outside of Germany is the interpretation placed the word success"

Is There a Federal Deficit?
(Philadelnhia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 The kind of conservative who grows livid around the edges when he hears that the Federal Government is spending a few millions a public building in the of work relief ought to be set down firmly and made to read David Cushman Coyles article in April Harper's.
 But Is There Federal Deficit?" asks MT Coyle in the title of his piece. The answer is probably not The explanation is that the Federal Govern ment keeps it's books in primitive fashion that 1t presents own finances in the possible light.
 It is almost mconceivable, but it is true, that the Federal Treasury does not dferentiate between capi tai and ordinary expenditures Both kinds are classed as spending" whether the expenditures be on new Federal office building that half million in rents each year, for package of paper clips.
 The point has been made before but never so clearly and impressively as in MT Coyles important contribution
 No private business presents its figures in this way If it did some of the most prosperous would appear their balance sheets, to be theoretically broke. MT Coye cites the of corporation which crosses two millions and spends and one-haf millions in single year That corporation is, obvi ously in splendid shape.
 But suppose Asks Mr Coyle that this corporation borrowed five millions during the year and invested it in plant which would cut it's costs and increase it's profits If it had to list that five millions eX- penditures," it would be four and onehaf millions in the red instead of half-a million in the black.
 The answer is that corporation would so list the five millions That sum would go into the capital account, the new debt balanced by the asset of the plant-and the corporation is sound
 What has the Federal Government been "spend- ing" for with the funds that have resulted in the theoretical deficits?
 It has refinanced home mortgages Is that spend ing investment? Obviously, it is investment because the Government holds the mortgages The Treasury has built many selflquidatng public works. Are those expenditures investments? It has built many postoffices and Federal buildings which have led to savings rent and on postal costs Spending capital investment?
 These are obvious cases. After these come another class of public investment investment in schools, roads, soil erosion control eco work It is hard to put dollar value on such non-lqudatng public works But they, too says MT Coyle, investment
 And he cites testimony from Winthrop w. Aldrich that soil erosion work is "a sound use of funds, that it is 'n different class from expenditures that conserving assets and that it may be likened to home office built by great corporation build ing which returned no income, but which obvious ly sound investment and not spending"

Groves ''Dead" Arm May
 Cost Red SOx Pennant

1 the club. I'll be back in there pitching Sunday"
 Manager Joe Cronin did not pass off Groves misfortune 50 lightly Anything that happens to a play CT as old as Grove is serious" he said. Until I know he'll be able to swing back into action, I must plan as best I can to get along without him."
 The Boston Red Sox office last night and today was flooded with calls from interested fans. General Manager Eddie Collins said that a radio station in Oklahoma had call- ed for the straight and latest dope on Leftyy's arm.
 Although he had pitched only four innings, Grove was given credit for winning his 14th game. The rule states that starting pitcher must go five innings to receive credit for the victory unless he is forced to leave the game earlier on account of physical disability.
 Grove was apparently never more effective in his IS years as a pitch- CT than in yesterdays game. In the second inning, the count was three balls on both Rudy York and Hank Greenberg, Detroit's danger ous distance hitters, but Grove put across two strikes on each one and forced him to pop up.
 Tn the fourth innings, with Gehringer and York on base and two out, Grove famed Greenberg the American Leagues leading home run hitter, with fast, down-break- ing curve.
 In the twilight of his brilliant pitching career, Grove, at 38, was enjoying one of his greatest seasons. He wcN, eight straight before losing to the Worlds champion New York Yankees op Memorial day in the Yankee stadium before 82,990 people. Groves present record is IA vic- tories and three defeats. He has beaten every team in the league and the Detroit Tigrs four times.
 After nine seasons with the Phil adelphia Athletics, Grove was traded to Boston on December 12, 1883 with Second Baseman Max Bishop and pitcher George E. Walberg for Short stop Harold Warstler, Pitcher Rob- ert Kline and reported cash of $125, ,000.
 In 1894, his first season with the Sox, Grove had trouble with his arm and won only eight games. The following season, his pitching skill returned as mysteriously as it had departed, and he won 20 games. He won IT in both 1936 and 1897.

 After enjoying a close friendship with my palate for nigh on to 3C years I, in desire to feel at home in Tokio, started eating such dish- es as sasimi and kai-no-doteyaki Now, at any moment, expect my pahte's barrister to serve me with papers.
 To palate accustomed to hom- iny, turnip greens, black-eyed peas and hog -jowl, sasimi is a sure sig nal for rebellion. Because sasimi is sliced raw fish and the first few dishes of it makes your stomach feel as if it were a goldfish bowl
 Any jury, I believe, would award me a handsome settlement for the suffering I endured in wearing a kimono and hakama, the latter item being skirt which, while not cut on the bias, is certainly cut by g tailor biased against the male form appearing anything but ridiculous That kimono and hakama nearly broke up my home. My wife never could get quite accustomed to shar- ing an apartment with man whc insisted on slipping on a kimono and hakama when friends dropped in. And the time I suggested that I wear 1t to the theater-I figured I might as well get accustomed to being seen in public in the outfit well, I would rather not pain you with the details of that evening.
 So you see, really have good case against the Japanese depart ment of public welfare. Anyone with brief case he doesn't know what to do with can have the job representing me.
