THE .oPPRESSRD' MINORITY IN
cZEcHoslovAKIA -
(By BRUCE CATION


Most of us are pretty cynical nowadays
about that great slogan of the World war
Make the world safe, for democracy
By and large, there is substantially less
democracy in Europe now than there was
i'll 1914, and the democracy that remains
seems in a fair way to diminish. Ii those
four horrible years were indeed devoted
to saving democracy, one can only say that
they were tragically wasted.
Yet there is one spot in Europe which
has democracy now and which did not
have it in 19l4-whOse democracy is, in
fact. direct result of the war and does
justify the wartime slogan. That spot is
Czeehoslovakia. And now that the pres
sure is being put on, no American can fail
to have a keen interest in Czechoslovakia's
democracy and its gallant fight to- survive.
Indeed, America is by way of being that
nations godfather. Masaryk, the man who
founded the Czech republic and became
its first president, did the bulk, of his work
in America The country's constitution was
written in America, its independence was
sympathy of our government was one OF
the chief reasons why that independence
was made good. And Czeehosloyakia, in
cidentally, is one Of the few spots in Eu-
rope where the name of Woodrow Wilson
is still remembered gratefully.
All of which simply means that in that
one place the high ideals which brought
America into the war have actually justi-
fed themselves. The cause of, human free
dOm-which, in the long run, means HUI
man happiness was actually advanced
by the allied victory there. Czechosfo-
vakia's independent existence is to be cher
ished as one of the few indisputably valu-
able fruits of the World War.
Now that independence is menaced by
Nazi Germany; and it might be as we'll for
Americans to understand just how hypo-
critical is the Nazi concern over the "op-
pressed German minority in Gzechoslo-
vakia So. @
First of all, that minority is probably
the least oppressed minority in all of Eu-
rope. 1t enjoys free speech, free press,
please; it is hard, to see how. the Czech
government could give it a fairef break
and still retain its own existence - -
Secondly, there exists nearby German
minority which undeniably is oppressed
the Germans of the italian Tyrel. If Nazi
concern for abused compatriots living UNI
der foreign tyranny were sincere, it would
be Italy and not Czechosloyakia which
would be the target of German pressure
right now. -,
What is going ON is simply bare-faced
attempt at conquest, with even less to. JUS
tify it than there was in the case of the
Italian seizure OF Ethiopia. Considering all
the facts, tits hard to see how any Arneri.
cans sympathies can fail to- lie, 100 per

have we mot also the responsible

IlNIJsIJAL. MESSAGES: This

UNUSUAL MESSAGES: This
might describe the lessons taught
by Dr.. F. w. Sumner Of Mills
River in the vocational course of
10 sessions at the high school on
practical psychology. They were
unusually interesting, so much so
that many who entered his classes
for the first period of an hour sat
through the second period in Or
der to hear him repeat. He was
informative on many subjects and
was faithful to the Bible, much
Of his teaching being based there
on. He was inspiring mentally,
morally and physically, laying
down rules for better health,
higher living and greater attain
ments. 1t is likely that DR.. Sum-
ner will be persuaded to continue
his weekly lessons late in sum-
mer, even though governmental
project may not be launched. 1t
was an unusual treat to sit at his
feet for an hour.

today he might consider" the feasi-
bility Of P. w. A. financing for con-
struction of an airport for Washington

Mr. Ickes took no part in the long

certed opposition and reported at

ments and when Mr. Ickes was asked
If the P. w. A. would consider q
Federal grant to establish a local
project, If requested by the agency,
he said:
I'm not very familiar with the
local situation, but we might look
into the matter as a Federal project
in the event an application is made"
Mr.. 1ckes also explained the delay
in making further allotments for mu-
nicipal projects requested by the Com
missioners as due solely to the reason
that I'VE haven't finished examining
them yet'' There are more than $l3.-

NEW W0RD|NANCES
Revision of Traffic Rules
Also Is Worked on by
County Board.

Two new county ordinances and q
revision Of the present trafic ordi-
nance were proposed by the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors at its
meeting yesterday. Commonwealth S
Attorney Paul E. Brown was asked
to draft the tentative regulations and
submit them to the board for action.
Because Of q number OF changes
In State tra1ic laws made by the last
General Assembly. including the es-
tabushing Of maximum speed limit,
the board decided to amend the coun-
ty regulations to conform. Through
adoption OF local ordinances parallel
ing the State trafic laws fines can
be turned into the local treasury.
The two new ordinances proposed
would abolish so-called automobile
graveyards and regulate plumbing In
the county. DR.. Edward M. Holmes,
jr., county health director. In his re-
cent annual report urged adoption
OF such an ordinance, pointing out
that the rapid building program In the
county makes plumbing regulation es-
sential.
At the last General Assembly an
act was adopted providing minimum
standards for plumbing and plumb
ing materials, inspections and tests
and penalties. Approval Of the act
by the Board Of Supervisors would
make 1t effective as . local ordinance
Likewise. the Assembly adopted an
act defining automobile graveyards
as any lot or place exposed to the
weather on which more than five
motor vehicles of any kind. incapable
OF being operated, are placed, and
county boards were empowered to
draft local regulations covering them.
Another suggestion was made that
the county establish central depart
ment where all county licenses and
permits would be issued. The board
requested Commemorative Attorney
Brown to study such possibility.
Members of the newly appointed
County Planning Commission ap-
peared before the board and an
nounced their desire to cooperate In
