If Kennedy seemed always at
Chamberlain elbow, that was the
best place to be. they argue, in 4
situation in which Chamberlain
was certainly the key man.
Kennedy was sure England and
France were going to war, and the
best State Department judgment
now is that he was right-up to
the time Hitler agreed to a last
minute conference before march
ing.
Secretary Hull and his aides don't
know just what was in the latter
part of Chamberlain speech to
Parliament which was interrupted
by the Hitler message. But they
know enough to be convinced
Chamberlain was about to say the
next development would be war.
If that view is correct, it refutes
the contention that it was "all a
frameup" between Hitler all
Chamberlain, in which the latter
never had any thought of fighting.
The semi-official Washington
conception now is that Chamberlain
was originally willing to sell the
Czechs long way down the river,
suddenly became appalled, at new
and greater demands, and was
ready at the end to promise war if
Hitler marched
But in the meantime, until Ken
nedy gives fresh proof that he has
not been taken into camp by Cham
beralin or the Tory social set, the
kennedy-in in-l940 boom has returned
to the moth balls.
Two billion dollars, the amount
involved in the program to expand
power facilities for national defense,
is a lot of money. Nobody knows
whether the utilities will actually
spend that much. The administra-
ton is urging them on with an eye
to business recovery as we'll as de-
fense. Power experts think the
utilities would have spent a billion
on expansion in the next two years
anyway.

When future historian, write
about the great depression and its
political effects, they probably will
use election day of 1888 as one of
their principal landmarks. The pro-
cesses that were set in motion by
the October stock market crash in
1929 finally jelled in the fall Of
1898.
That is not to say that the de-
preston is over or that the New
Deal is ended. Either one or both
may be with us for quite a time
yet. But it is fairly clear that some
sort of turning point has been
reached in the annals of each one.
Like all significant changes, this
change is largely psychological. 1t
can best be summed up, perhaps,
By saying that the American peo-
pie have at last lost the panic fear
which the 1929 crash visited upon
them. They are no longer inclined
10 suspect that the very founda-
tions of their national greatness
are decayed The for-Gods-sake-
do-something era has definitely
ended.
We are still a little too close to
it all TO do a good job of stock
taking. 1t may be years before we
can strike a balance and say, defi-
nitely, what the lasting results of
the whole business are. But we
may be able to get a good perSpec-
tive on it by glancing back at a
previous depression-the great crash
of 1873
We are fond of saying that the
1929 crash was the worst in history.
But things happened in the crash
Of 1873 which had no counterpart
in recent years. Read the old files
OF such a magazine as Harper's
Weekly, for instance, and you will
see surprising and instructive
contrast.
You will read. for instance. of
babies abandoned on doorsteps; not
in isolated cases but-in New York
City alone in some hundreds or
instances; Of horrible scenes of
starvation, crime. the most abyssal
sort Of human misery and despair.

It's still open to question whether
ltaly's Ethiopian empire is a good in
vestment. 1t has been terrible expense,
and continues So Along with the cost
of maintaining a big navy, a standing
army and air force at home, it seems to
be driving Italy toward bankruptcy.
Mussolini's edicit of 7.5 per cent tax
on capital and real estate is the most
revealing news out of the dictator state
recently. This levy is in addition to a
similar one of 10 per cent imposed a
year ago on stock companies and real
estate. 1t is meant to help pay for re-
armament and the development of Etho-
pia. The proceeds are expected to be
about S63,000,000, sum which would
be regarded trivial in country strong
financially, but is regarded as real money
in Italy.
Ethiopia will have cost Italy rs per
cent of capital stock and real estate, plus
what incidental money II Duce has been
able to find. The two taxes amount to
S175 100000, a tremendous investment
for a doubtful return.
We have our financial difficulties in
America, too, public and private. But
the difference revealed by such forced
financing in Italy suggests that Musso-
lini's wonderful empire is, in comparison
with the democracies he processes to
despise, Operating on shoestring."
This is the whole story Of Italy and
