NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE SQUEAL

II is not necessary to hold brief for Mr.. Martin
Dies. the Texas Democrat who heads the House
committee to investigate nAmerican activities, to
conclude that the unusual effort of the President
to squelch the investigation due to the fact
that the disclosures touched the White House a
sensitive spot 1t seemed, in fact squeal.
Even before the Dies committee got to work
the administration hostility was manifest. White
House influence secured for its anti-monopoly in
vestigation million dollars, and administration
leaders gave the LaFoette committee $150,0O0,
the Dies committee had difficulty in getting $685.
600. Since then from the Left Wing there has
come steady chorus of denunciation of Mr.. Dies,
his committee and the witnesses who have appeared
before it. The professional liberals who shout "Red
batter" whenever there is any attempt to state the
facts about Communistic actvieies in this country
have been most virulent. The climax came with
the Presidents unprecedented outburst.
What the committee has done to cause such
concentration of hatred upon the part of the New
Dealers can be briefly summarized. First it has
heard witnesses who testified that the CIo in De-
troit where the Shutdown strike originated, is DOM
mated by Communists; second it has had before it
witnesses who testified that most of the several
hundred strikes in Detroit during 1887 were engi-
sNSSA
mony that Governor Murphy of Michigan, close
friend of the President, refused aid in carrying
out court orders against the sit-down strikers. In
stead, he instituted negotiations which enabled
them to continue the sit-down until they got what
they waned; fourth it heard testimony which i'm
piled that while the Labor department has suffi-
cient evidence to justify the deportation of Harry
Bridges CLIO Pacific Coast leader and alleged Com
munst, it will not act. .o
Public rebuffs, curt rejection of their support
oratorcal kicks in the face-none of these things
divert the Communist leaders from their New Deal
support, openly proclaimed by Mr. Browder in his
Portland speech and regularly by the Communist
organs. The real crime in the Dies committee is in
drawing public attention to certain facts in way
to affect the thought and feelings of the very deep
ly i-Communistic American people, 1t is hard
for am individual to stand up against the President
Of the United States in a personal controversy
His advantages very great Under the circum-
stances Mr. Dies is to be congratulated on not let
ting the Presidential thunder shut him up or slow
him down.-Frank Kent in Charlotte Observer

AS HE SEES F. D. r.

An interesting appraisal of Franklin D. Roose-
welt comes from an able political opponent, Bruce
Barton, noted writer, business man and New York
congressman.
Judging by the record of six years." Mr.. Bar
ton writes in Golfers, Il believe Mr.. Roosevelt
VIII be remembered as a sincere humanitarian, as
man OF courage when the nation had almost lost
Its courage, as the Inauguration of immense re-
forms and the awakener of the national conscience.
Also as one who started many things but fin
lsned few, who stepping out of the White House
after eight years of unremittent legislation left to
his successor the herculean task of revising his re-
forms and making them work; and the even more
challenging problem of how to arouse spirit of
patriotism and self-sacrifce sufficient to make peo-
pie willing to tighten up their belts and pull the
country out of the financial bog into which extrava
ganee and cockeyed economics have plunged it"

vince themselves that deficit is not deficit, then

Mr.. Barton is Republican and an anti-New

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
RY RODNEY BUTCHER

Kansas is dle-hard Republican
state, McGill isn't a strong candi-
date and wheat prices are very
low.
The victor is likely to be former
Governor Clyde M. Reed, political
foe of ALT Landon and National
Chairman John Hamilton.
In Utah, where the Mormon
Church violently opposes the New
Deal, President Franklin S. Harris
of Brigham Young University is
the Republican candidate against
Senator Ebert D. Thomas, schol-
arly liberal member of the La
Toilette civil liberties committee.
SENATOR FRED VAN NUYS is
~ safe bet in Indiana, although
embarrassed by promises he made
to expose graft in the McNutt-
Townsend Democratic machine
before the machine took him back
into the fold.
Former Senator Tasker L.
Oddie, Republican, may beat anti
New Deal Senator Pat McCarran
in Nevada, but most guessers say
not.
In Colorado Senator Alva Ad-
ans Is opposed by Archibald A.
Lee. Republicans hope Adams
may be dragged down by the
weaker candidacy of his running
mate, Governor Ammons.
The betting is on Senator Gerald
P. Nye of North Dakota, Rerub-
lican, to beat former Governor
William P. LANCER, Independent,
and j. J. Nygaard, Democrat.
Cav. Tom Berry of South Da-
kota is opposed by Chandler Cur
ney, Republican, whose friends
think he will win because Demo-
cratic majorities, even before the
farm price drop, were tiny in this
state.
Republicans admit to but an
outside chance in Oregon, where
their man Rufus c. Holman is op-
posed by Willis E. Mahoney, lib
eral Democrat. -...
Democratic senators generally
expected to return are Bennett
Clark of Missouri, Homer Bone of
Washington and Carl Hayden of
Arizona, plus the southern group.

WASHINGTON the most
W populous, states Republican
candidates usually are strongest
in rural districts and Democratic
candidates in the biggest cities.
That has been increasingly true
since President Roosevelt began
aiming his appeal at the 'lower
one-third," the workers and the
relief families, and the phe-
nomenon seems even more accen-
tuated than ever in western sena-
torial contests this year.
IN Illinois Republicans presum-
! ably will come up to Cook
County," meaning Chicago, with
big downstate margin.
In Illinois Congressman Scott
Lucas, conservative Democrat
backed in the primary by Cover
nor Horner, is widely expected to
beat State Senator Richard j
Lyons unless he is knitted by Chi
Cages Kelly-Nash machine. Lyons
Is a good campaigner, however.
In California, where the "ham
and eggs" pension plan espoused
by Democratic candidates looms
large as 40 issue, liberals and
labor groups support Sheridan
Downey, who beat McHdoo in the
primaries and now faces Republic
can Philip Bancroft.
Although the administration
backed Senator Ryan Duffy in
Wisconsin after the LaFollette or
ganization refused to accept him,
most prophets think Duffy will be
beaten by elderly Lieut. Gov. Her.
man Ekern, Progressive, or Alex
ander Wiley, Republican. Duffy
vigorously defends the New Deal.
Former Senaton Lester j. Dick
inson Of Iowa was beaten by only
$4,000 in 1886 and is whaling
away at the New Deal like the
good Hoover pal he is, hoping to
beat Senator Guy Gillette. He

say, but isn't one of their best
bets. -.

had a chance to stand firm with
us against a territory grabber;
yet she reniged. When Japan in
vaded Manchuria (the first at
tempt since the World war of one
nation to prey on another) our
government was prepared to step
on that thing, and called on Eng
land to join with us; but Eng
land, for purely selfish reasons,
backed away and left us out on a
limb to face alone Japan's dis
pleasure because of our expressed
criticism of her violation Of her
treaties, of her League of Nations
pledge, and of the principles rec
ognized by civilized governments.
That back-tracking on the part of
England, which was directly re-
sponsible for the Mussolini seiz-
ure of Ethiopia and the subse-
quent breakdown of the League
of Nations, naturally made us
feel that England was for collec-
tive security only when England
thought it to her profit to be that
way. If England had taken high
ground in that japanese invasion
when she had us to help her, the
chances are that today we would
be allied with League of Nations
powerful enough to enforce inter-
national peace.
The democracies have a lesson
or two to learn about collective
security before they can make it
work. 1t must be founded and
maintained on a principle far
higher than the immediate selfish
benefit to any member nation be-
fore it can succeed.

the clerk was satisf ied that we wanted

we were foreigners and not "wise to" the

What should be carefully noted is
that the Swedish clerk in the coopera-
