On Civil Liberty
(New York Tines)


 The knottiest problem that believers in civil berty have to face is that of persons who do not be- eve it for others but invoke it for themselves. We Stainiss in the United States who protest when heir meetings broken up their periodicals canned though they frankly desire state of affairs which only the meetings they approve of and only the periodicals they authorize could be circulated We Nazis, Naz sympathizers and their attitudes md yearnings are substantially the same. The dis melton between the two groups is narrowing. Both antagonistc to the ideals of American democracy
 The Civil Liberties Union has had to consider this question because of it's friends who were glad when it took up the causes of miscellaneous left wingers labor organizers Negroes deprived of proper jury trial persons who wish make speeches in Jer- sey City and have turned critical since it began to defend the rights of Nazis The Unions statement this week deals with some misunderstood points. It says:
 We certainly cannot abandon the principles of the Bill of Rights which requires defense of every oodys rights without distinction just because of the fear that thus anti-democratic force will trl- umph. Such fear implies distrust of democracy"
 The final sentence in this quotation is the signifl- cant one Democracy is not possible unless the com make working distinction between what is true and what is false between what is good for the community in which he lives and what bao it.
 Government cannot decide for him and still be democratic. He must in a democracy, be able to listen to the Nazs the Fascists and the Communists and make up his mind about them. If the com mon man III JllS country were to majority that any of these parties right, 1t Wo be the last decision of that kind that he would be allowed to make. Possibly that is why he be trusted to make that decision But it is not up to any particular person set of persons to say that the common man shall or shall not be trusted This is his country and his government. In the large he probably that this will remain his country and his government only so long the principles of civil liberty are maintaned-and not just for popular people and ideas but for unpopular ones.
 Ina (ixi oIIit tp f1roY the rights Of group do not include the right to organize private armies to interfere with the lawful activities of other persons groups The basic freedoms give no one the privilege of breaking up meetings of Nazis, Fascists Communists Republicans Democrats what not except when such meetings turn into riots
 In several other countries the democratic toer- of obstreperous minorities has been followed by the seizure of power by those mnorities. There is no reason to fear that this misfortune in country where freedom of speech, of assembly and Of the press is accompanied by firm repression of deliberate violence.

Pandora's Box?
(Cincinnati Enauirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 At first blush the proposal of screen actress Loret- ta Young for financed beauty treatments for women has desirable complexion But it is to be feared that complications might more than skln deep
 It may become known, for instance, that Uncle Sam has constructed at Walla Walla Wash. a more beautiful post office than is provided for the citizens of South Bend, Ind, with worse results than the defeat of the Congressman from the latter district at the subsequent election. South Renders again for instance might philosophically the news that the government had provided Walla Walla with a much more attractive CCC encampment and had constructed huge hydroelectrc project in order that Walla Wallans might enjoy the more abundant life electrically at less expense than is possible in or around South Bend.
 But a neal descendant of General sherman would be at loss for word describe the likely re- suit if the percolated in South Bend-or any other red -blooded community-that the women of Walla Walla-or anywhere ese-were more beautiful and at government expense than their hometown feminnity.
 This is not a farfetched possibility under the Young plan To begin with there exists certain fne shading between the types of beauty to be found in various American communities Add to. that the in evtable difference in skill of beauticians around the nation Surmount it with the fact that there is con- siderable difference in the proficiency of Congresmen to wrangle appropriations their districts The sum is trouble. Miss Young simply has placed another Pandoras Box before Congress.

WHO'S AFRAID

All of Hiter's best prospects" in Europe have been receiving questionaires from the German Foreign Office asking whether they consider their nations menaced by Germany. Der Fuehrer is to the replies according information from the Wilhelm strasse to refute President Roosevelt's implication that Germany and Italy the bad boys of Europe who should give promise of ten years of peace.
 If you were the Foreign Minister of some little nation to the east of the Reich and received letter from Berlin asking whether not you considered your nation menaced by German expansion what would your answer be?
 A reply that yes you frankly afraid of the threat of Germany would be the worst possible answer It would put your head in the Naz stew kettle immediately, whereas if you could stall Hitler off by saying you considered him friend you might hold on to sovereignty until something happens in Europe to slay the Nazi beast.
 Here are some of the answers Germany has been receiving
 Finland-doesn't consider her neutrality threat ened.
 switerarrd-beeves her neutrality will be spected by her neghbors who, including Germany expressly have guaranteed it.
 The Netherlands do not consider themselves menaced.
 I.ithuania-refers Germany to the treaty by which Hitler has pledged himself not to resort to force against her
 Rumania-does not how anyone could feel secure in Europe at the present time
 There were good many tongues in good many cheeks the chanceeries of Europe those replies framed.
 What would Memel have answered to similar inquiry two months ago? What would have been Czechoslovakias last August? If Austria had received such a missile in January, 1888 what would she have said? Suppose Mussolni instead of Hitler were the questioner and had asked Albania month ago. All would have denied evil intentions on the part of their big neighbors.
 The next victim, whatever nation it might be undoubtedly has already answered Hitler with a cheerful note declaring her trust in Germanys promises to leave her alone.
 So when Hitler steps up before the extraordinary session of the Rechsag to the acclaim of thousand hels next Friday he will be able to answer President Roosevelt with the words of the very nations Roose welt trying to protect, the words all saying that protection is necessary
 No will be convinced by Hitlers neat trick, unless possibly Hitler himself Certainly Presi- dent Roosevelt won't be impressed The nations par tcipating in Hitler's straw poll know only to well how great the menace is.
 The questioning by the German Foreign Office is another example of the wolfike cunning of Hitler After such stalking. the next bounce can't be far away.
