AS one who has long been an
ardent admirer Of the policies
Of the New Deal, I can think
Of no action taken by the Presi-
dent since the banking crisis Of
which his followers can take
more whole-hearted pride than
his appointment of Governor
Landon as a delegate to the
Lima conference.
Not only is Governor Landon
a man Of strong common sense,
with keen insight into the char
acterS of men, but the fact that,
as far as internal affairs are
concerned, he is the titular
leader Of the opposition to Ad-
ministration policies, gives even
greater emphasis to the fact
that, where national interests
are concerned, this nation
knows no cleavage Of party
lines, but represents a united
front for the protection Of our
national welfare.

Your Tuesday editorial read:
THE way for us to promote
Western Hemisphere friendship
is through acts rather than
words"
Right! Here is another way
Of acting, travelling to South
America instead of going to Eu-
rope; time to think that travel
ing to S. A. is the best way to
promote friendship.
If you ever do, don't go just
to the ports like the majority
do; go to the interior of each
country and see for yourself all
the wonders of these countries
with your own eyes. I assure
you will like to come back every
time you have a chance.

Oh, Pish Tush

IT'S tre tiresome to listen to the current complain
ing by various brands of sharehe weahers the
fact that Brenda Diana Duff Frazier coming out party
couple of night ago cost somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000.
We're not God wo social butterflies. But if this blow
out didn't share some wealth with quite few people who
could use it. what would?
Some shrewd guesser has figured that the money
whacked around about follows in these proportions:
Supper, breakfast and ballroom
OHe nay W rent, $7,500; champagne ST.
oLur;,,n, Won1+L 500; Scotch rye and soft drinks
0 y $1,000; music (25-pece orches-
tra sixpiece gypsy band), $4,000; private detectives,
$3.50; decorations ncudng fifty dozen calla les sew
eral hundred ponsettias 1OOO-odd chrysanthemums),
$1OOO tips to 100 WATERS 20 captains and five banquet
masters assistants $1O0O 300 stays, $500; social
retary's fee $4,000; breakage, $25.
Most of the money went, in other words, into active
circulation among people who would in turn spend it
soon and lot of bought necessities and uxures which
forthwith consumed, thereby putting small dent
in proverbal surpuses of necessities and uxures
These he-wealthers most of them are the
people who always complaining that wealthy people
nu. can't, don't won't spend enough
"1V''eV hePC W of their incomes on consumers
Circulation goods, and soak too much of their
money into Government bonds or
aoorsavlng machneryand that this is one big factor
In our periodic depressions
We think that's pretty largely true. But then when
some wealthy family gets expansive actually circu-
lates $4,000 smackers on a debutante daughters
coming out party, many share-theweath thinkers turn
around and emit loud beefs and baws about the nuuty
of it all.
We can't follow this reasoning In fact we don't think
1t is reasoning Permit to suggest that the sharethe-
wealth thinkers their brain sweat for an endeavor
that really matters; namely the long, slow endeavor to
bring about more equitable distribution of wealth and
wealth control in this country The deb parties are lust

and monaSteries. The thought
in all Of them was a worry that
the recipient in the land of gold
and opportunity would forget
Ireland. And the cards cried
out that he or she must never,
never do that.
You can hardly go into q
store in an Irish village, north
or south, east or west, without
finding, close to the pile of
postcards, gaudy pictures of
liners i'll full blow across the
Atlantic to America. The prices
of passage were marked plainly
below the colored print so that
the boy headed for the States
knew his goal-penny after
penny, shilling after shilling,
pound after pound, till he and
his people had gathered what it
took to make an exile out of
him.
After a while the money was
got together and the train for
Cobb stopped just a little longer
than usual at the village depot.
If they could afford it close
relatives went-even as far as
the tender would take them
slap up against the side Of the
big ship. And after that was
done and the last farewell
waved, they went back to the
village-and into the store.
The owner had gathered an
other customer for the Irish
postcards.
II v. MORTON, an English
"A" man, who has set down
words about ireland which,
strung together, are as beautiful
as the verses of Thomas Moore,
has written this about the heart
tug Of an Irish postcard:
There is in all Of them the
fear that the emigrant may for
get Ireland. They create an i'm
preston of mothers and fathers
wondering, worrying if a son or
a daughter is losing touch with
home.
The card I like best has this
stern warning upon it: Forget
Not the Land of Your Birth
There is a little Irish bridge in a
circle, much shamrock and a
horseshoe hung the wrong way,
which seems usual in Ireland.
I'm England we hang horse
shoes with the points up-to
keep the luck. But in the Irish
stud farms-where all the luck
possible is needed-they hang
them the reverse way over the
horseboxeS."
And then, irrelevantly:

"Very Simple"

The replies to "a Lover Of
Hitler" printed in your column,
Voice Of the People," while
agreeing on the type Of low.life
personified by Hitler, do not
really answer the question as to
why we do not have a great(O
man like Hitler in this country.
The answer is very simple.
Our philosophy of government
is "a government of the people,
by the people, for the people"
It is dedicated to the proposi.
ton that all men are created
equal.
Hitler'S philosophy OF govern
ment is my will shall be your
will" It is dedicated to the
proposition Of hate.
What this country really
needs is fewer "loverS of Hitler"
and more lovers Of our Consti-

 RUSSIA HAS
 A HEADACHE
 Soviet Russia is also worried. Hit Ter has always cast longing eyes at Russian Ukraine-a territory 175,- GOO square miles in extent and with population of over 30,000,000 Uk- rainians. It is about the richest land in Europe, teeming with oil, coal, iron, wheat and with some of the biggest Russian industrial plants. It also contains the big cities of Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, and Stall ingrad and juts out into the Black Sea.
 So now it is evident why Beck. overcoming his antipathy to Rus sia, suddenly announced the other day the signing of new pact with the Soviets. They reaffirm their non-aggression pact which goes on till 1945, agree to settle all frontier questions and to do all they can to improve their trade relations It means that Beck no longer counts upon France and that he fears Germany. s
 Russia and Poland are making a common front to resist a Ger man grab of Polish and Russian Ukraine. To show they are in earnest, the Poles are making ready to spend about $300,000, ,00O more within the next three years to perfect their army and defense forces.
