Military Careers

The enlargement of the Army Air
Corps, reinforcement of the Coast
Artillery defenses of the Panama
Canal, and expansion of other units
OF the military establishment bring
the greatest recruiting campaign
since the World War. A hundred
and fifteen thousand men are being
sought, at least thirty-seven thou

Is expected to be a "high-pressure
craftsmanship" drive to sell the Army
to the youth of America.
The service needs to resort to
craftsmanship" only to guarantee
the quality of the men it gets. These
must be the best the country has
to offer, and in return they are
offered much. For the ambitious
young man who has only general
education and who lacks training
In skilled trade, the military service
has many advantages-and civilian
life in recent years has had so few.
For this reason it will be interesting
to watch the progress of recruiting.
The Army definitely can offer,
aside from the more colorful advan-
tages Of travel and adventure, train
ing in numerous skilled crafts
through its specialized schools, in
Guiding aviation mechanics, greater
opportunities for advancement than
are open to many civilian appren-
tices, and a living small in
cash at the beginning, but good as
compared with many limited fields
outside the service. 1t requires that
its men be fairly well educated, of
good character, young, unencum-
bered, and in prime health. 1t is
because of these last demands that
officers in charge of enrolling the
new recruits hesitate to predict sue
cess for the campaign.
There are many thousands out of
work or on relief in the age group
wanted by the service. Hundreds of

Not the Cross of Christ

Nazi Germany did not disguise it's
displeasure over the election of for
mer Cardinal Pacelli as Pope a few
weeks ago, as the policies of Plus
XII, while Papal Secretary of State,
left no doubt of Vatican City's
hostility to the practices and prin-
ciples Of the Hitlerian cult.
It was during the present Pontiff's
direction of the Holy Sees foreign
affairs that Chancellor Hitler on
May 4, 1888, paid a state visit to Italy.
The Haunting of the swastika all
over Rome on "the day of the holy
cross" provoked from the reigning
Pope, Plus XI, a public protest
against the display in the Eternal
City at such an hour of flag bear
ing the emblem of a cross-the swas-
tika-"which is not the Cross of
Christ"
1t would seem as if events this
week at Salzburg, the famed scene
OF music and dramatic festivals in
former Austria, are Hitlers rejoinder
to the action of the College of
Cardinals in elevating to the papacy
prelate who was not of German
choosing. Nazi authorities have
seized the palace of Archbishop
Waltz, Catholic primate of Germany,
at Salzburg, stripped it of all it's fur
niture, compelled its priestly tenant
to take refuge in seminary, and
turned over the historic building to
the S. S. (the Fuehrer's black-shirt
elite private guard troops). Quibbling
legal reasons are assigned as justifi-
cation for the eviction, but Nazi
spokesmen insist that in any event
the building is needed by the S. S.
The Catholic Church has expert
enced a succession of Nazi indigni-
ties, OF which the incident at Salz-
burg is only the latest, though one
of the most fragrant. Cardinals,
bishops and humble priests, even
nuns, and their official premises, in
Guiding churches, schools and con-
vents, have at one time and another
come under totalitarian persecution
and expressions in pursuance of the
Nazi doctrine that worship of the
state, with its concomitant tenets of
race and force, is the only true form
Of conscience and creed tolerable in
the new GERMANY.
The Holy See is not likely to accept
without protest the harsh treatment
meted out to Archbishop Waltz. The
Nazi offense is not mitigated by the
circumstance that he appealed di-
rectly to Chancellor Hitler to rescind
the order of confiscation and that
his plea was wholly ignored. The
contention that the archbishop's
palace Is, as state property, now
needed for state purposes, naturally
confronts the Church with the posi-
bility that wholesale appropriation of
its real holdings in Germany may be
signaled by the Salzburg seizure.

thousands more are leaving high
school or college within the next few
weeks who do not know where to
turn for livelihood. How many will
don the uniform of their country for
further training or a career remains
to be seen. But in all probability
thirty seven thousand will be found
who prefer the security of the service
to the doubt of idleness or the
ignominy of relief.

Politics Seen in
Attack on Debt.

To the Editor of The Star:
Since the beginning of political Or
ganlzatlon and throughout the history
OF governmental rule there has con-
sistently existed one fundamental in
every body polite, that of the minority.
1t has always existed and no doubt
always will. Its position in modern
social orders takes on added signifi-
canoe and especially in democracies is
of vital importance.
In the spring of 1888 when the people
OF this country wanted change it was
entirely healthy for one party to receive
an overwhelming mandate of conf
dence. 1t showed that during periods
of crisis public opinion is pretty much
the same and this unification of thought
did much in bulwarking the incoming
administration. 1t is interesting to note,
however, as public policy develops that
there emerge new schools of thought in
relation to future courses. This healthy
opposition, If constructive in its criti-
cism, can point out the mistakes and
fallacies of those who pilot the ship of
state.
Such an opposition in small degree
has taken form since 1886. 1t points
with justiflable concern to our increas-
ing national debt, labelling it the Roose-
welt 40-billion-d dollar debt. Anxiety over
the liability is understandable, but the
method of attacking it has the ear
marks of political campaign. The
public is likely to take the criticism less
seriously as long as it points out only
the bad without recognizing the good.
For instance, the debt was in the neigh
borhood of 20 billions before 1888 and
a major part of the increase has been
invested in self-liquidating projects
such as new schools, libraries. highways,
dams. irrigation facilities and forest
preservation.
In the famous political MASTERPIECE.
"Disquisition on Government" Calhoun
states: Government simply of the ma
Jorlty always results in despotism over
the minority unless each class or COM
munity in the state has a check upon
the acts of the majority so that all acts
OF government shall be concurred in
by all classes and interests. Government
with such concurrence he called gov
ernment by the concurrent majority"
There is ample room for constructive
harmony and cooperation, but recent
polls indicate that the people feel big
business has not co-operated quite as
much as the administration in bringing
back lasting recovery.
This writer is urging a constructive
solution to the problems at hand We
may see swing toward conservatism
in 1910, but we must be careful not to
return to the policies which governed
this country prior to 1888. We must
be conservative enough to be liberal
enough in transitory period.

Women prominent in the movement in
cluded Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady

one could take the places Of Dudley

that tend to reserve impersonations
to their original creators.
Came 1889, however, and the movie
