Threat Or Dictators Is
More Mental Than Military

Any American who is really worried about the danger
of European tyranny getting foohod in the New World
ought TO remember that the only real defense against that
sort of thing begins at homeland stays there.
We build inyincble navy and air fleet cement
muuahelp treaties from Cape Horn Hudson Bay, and
make utterly impossible for any combination of
to send army navy into this hemisphere. But
nevertheless lose the battle unless understand very
clearly just what it is that facing.
For the military danger is secondary. The real peril
Is state of mind, way of thinking, an emotional
sponse the problems of world which has grown almost
unenduraby complex and battling And against that peril
conceivable international conference be much help
II is absurd to suppose that the of the totalita
ian state is simply the familiar militarism
mad The militarsm is there and it dangerous, but it
is not the chief danger.
What makes this kind of society so frightening is
the fact that represents the abandonment of the old ideal
by which human society undertook to solve its problems
by instead of by force 1t stands for appeal to
the feelings rather than to the mind 1t calls
give the right to think for themselves and demands the
ruthless silencing of all dissent
That OF thing get past any army and navy if.
mems minds are receptive 10 it. And if permit that
frame of mind to develop in land laying
selves wide open to conquesnot conquest by foreign
nation but conquest by way of life that utterly foreign
TO everything the word American has stood for.
Suppose, for instance. that we dabbe in that most
poisonous of brews anSemtism Suppose we permit re-
lgious prejudice to develop Suppose consent the
denial of such civil liberties freedom of speech and free
uoih OF press oTuer the OF
hearing doctrines do not like Suppose take from
business its right to free market free investment and
the sefgovernment which traditional society;
suppose take from labor its right organize and bar
gain collectively
If We do such things these then conquest by the
totalitarians is half complete already.
So real defense is not military matter at all. It
is something for each of individual to
himself with. AS individuals refuse those doctrines
admance to minds and hearts; individuals,
We insist that our society similarly refuse them ad
mittance.
If do that then military defenses easily be
made effective. If fail to do it, the preparedness pro-
gram paying for will be wasted.

A BOOK A DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

A grim and timely documenta-
ton of Nazi Germany's attempt
TO rise above international law
in the same way that it has risen
above domestic law is contained
in a little handbook entitled
THE German Reich and Ameri-
cans Of German Origins OK
ford Press: $3.50.
This book is a collection of
authentic quota I ons from
speeches. DEGREES and articles by
leading Nazis. from Hitler on
down, touching on the question
of Germans who live outside of
Germany. Compiled by a COM
mittee which includes such peo-
pie as Nicholas Murray Butler,
Monslgnor Ryan, Samuel Sea-
bury and Henry L. Stimson. it
amply proves that-whatever
the actual effect may be-the
Nazis are actively and openly
attempting to establish their
control over people OF German
blood in such lands as America.
For this new theory Of theirs
is. simply. that a person of Ger
man blood is and always must be
German. that he belongs TO
Germany and owes 10 that coun-
try duty transcending any
duty he may owe to the country
of which he is actually citizen.
So far. as the committee re-
marks. this attitude has not be-
come a danger TO America. But
II the campaign continues, it can
hardly fail. in the committees
words. TO set apart large
group Of inhabitants of IN,
United States whose duty il
would be 10 render primary al
leeisnee 70 the ruler Of foreign
power
II is important that the Amer
lean people realize just what is
being attempted. This little book
presents the picture fully.

SUGGESTED RECOVERY,

Editor. The Times. For the
present purposes, this is to be
confined 10 the Puget Sound
region and the shipping indus
try; later. it may be expanded
indefinitely.
The people arc being taught
to look to the federal govern
ment. not only for prosperity.
but also for our daily bread and
every necessity.
We are embarking on the to-
talitarian PHILOSOPHERS of dicta-
tors. This trend is anything but
American and can lead only TO
lesser opportunities, lesser free
dom-dictatorship.
All this is not the American
way. and as result, we are
stagnating as a nation, and de-
generating in personal character
and integrity.
What we need TO do is TO get
back to the American way-the
way by which we have grown
10 be rich and powerful ma
ton; by individual effort, by
private initiative and enterprise
by depending on ourselves and
none other.
The American way-for the
people and community of the
Puget Sound region:

ships and the means of war;
forget to talk war They can
lead only to war. and we want
no war.

Girls viii enjoy season of

First aid training should be
