HIGH-LIGHTING POLITICS
Rr Iohn Randall Page

Hitler still gets most of the head
lines, but there is an increasing
number of people in Washington who
are viewing the march of Stain as
more menacing than that of the
German dictator.
On the one hand Hitler is faced
with a destructive war which will
melt his resources and, even il VIC
torious, leave Germany prostrate for
years to come. On the other hand,
informed observers are coming more
to the view of ex-President Hoover
that Hitler will unquestionably lose
20 the Allied sea strength in the end
and be driven from power. And
there is still the third alternative
tnat the forces of opposition in the
Reich will overthrow Hitler and re-
store sanity within Germany.
All of these factors lead to a be-
lief that Nazi Germany is a passing
menace destined for destruction in
almost any conceivable set of cir
cumstances. The death knell may
come at terrific cost to the rest of the
world but it seems inevitable.
Stain, on the other side. is care
fully outstanding his resources and
spreading the menace of Communism.
Thus far he is avoiding the ravages
of war. Soviet Russia is committed
to the policy of world revolution,
and as other nations are weakened
hy war, Stain apparently is prepared
10 step in. Recent exposures through
cut the world, as well as by the Dts
committee in the United States, have
Shown that Communist propaganda
is moving full force. Resultantly
many Washington observers are
turning to the belief that Stalins
Communism is a world danger that
will still be present after Hitler has
been eliminated.
New Dealers. with their political
eyes always wide open, also see in
Mr.. Stain something more than a
world menace. They view him as
political menace to Mr.. Roosevelt
and the New Deal.
Three Republican administrations
refused to recognize the Russian
Soviet. Mr.. Hoover. with his world
wide experience. repeatedly rejected /
overtures to accept Russia into the
family of nations. But the New Deal |
had no more than taken office before |
a Russian ambassador was welcomed !
with open arms. Included in the ex-
change of correspondence was a |
pledge that Communist propaganda /
in America would end.
o
The extent to which this pledge |
was kept is now an open book. The
Dies committee has presented wit |
ness after witness to testify under
oath that money has come from Mos
cow to support the Communist party
here in its efforts to overthrow the
government. Communist leaders,
who until then had operated under
cover because of public opinion
against them, suddenly came out of
the cellars. They openly supported
the New Deal in 1886 elections. One
before the Dies committee
gave names of a group of Young
entertained at the White
Huse. And now Earl Browder. the
American leader, has come into the
open and demanded the immediate
overthrow of the American govern
ment.
1t is becoming increasingly certain
hat eventually Mr.. Roosevelt will be
to admit that he was
wrong and that Mr.. Hoover was right
in not recognizing the Soviet govern
ment.
That is the most immediate danger
which New Dealers see in the Russian
Bear that walks like wolf.

CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 25.-A A.
year-old minister goes on trial to-
day charged with plotting the slay-
ing of his own daughter to collect
$2,500 insurance.
Special Prosecutor Samuel P. Or

the death penalty for the Rev. Wal

Peter Shewchuk, 81, carnival rousta-
bout.
Shewchuk, who twice has stated
in court that he slew 18-year-old
Wanda Dworecki at her fathers
bidding, will follow the clergyman
in the prisoners dock.
The youth testified earlier that
he escorted Wanda to a lovers
lane" and killed her August Z.
The minister, when told Of his

Pat Harrison Saw 1t.
On March 2 last Senator Pat
Harrison, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, declared at a
notable special press conference at
the Capitol that drastic retrench-
ment in Government spending was
necessary to maintain the Nations
credit and bulwark Government OBJ
legations. The far-seeing Mississip-
plan declared: with world condi-
tions unsettled, with threats and
rumors of war heard on every hand

dence in the economic philosophy
that We must spend ourselves out
of this economic disorder"
Some such state Of affairs as the
Dixie Democrat envisioned seems to
have arisen. The fall in govern
ments" In the bond market is one
Of the highly significant, not to say
disturbing, features Of the war sit
uation, from the American stand
point. To John @. Citizen, who has
been putting his rainy day funds in
Uncle Sans securities, it is wholly
incomprehensible why, by the end
of last week, no fewer than nine
Federal bond issues had fallen below
par. while others were from 6 to 10
points lower than on September l..
During the second week of the war
$153 100000 of Government bonds
changed hands, compared with So
100000 in the whole of August and
ST 100, 900 in all of September, 1888.
What Has Happened:
What the average American Is
saying is something like this: Here
is the richest country on earth, with
corner on more than half of the
worlds entire gold stored away in
vaults out in the Kentucky hills.
Here we are, utterly detached from
Europe's dog fight, with our indus
trial war babies skyrocketing to
peak prices on the stock exchange,
due to American capacity and read
iness to sell the belligerent powers
about everything they can pay for
and transport, except actual imple-
ments of battle. The Treasury ap-
parently has all the money it needs
to finance national defense, Gov
ernment operating costs, relief, farm
aid, housing and other authorized
building projects. Yet in the face

who should speak by the book, to
explain the decline in bond prices.
He says: "The slump is the natural
result Of several inevitable factors.
One would be the initial impact re-
sulting from the shock of war upon
all securities of all governments.
AS Undersecretary of the Treasury
Hanes recently expressed 1t, even
though you know an old friend has
long been ailing and you expect him
to pass away momentarily, It's still
something Of q shock when finally
he dies.
Another strong factor Is the de-
sire OF individual bond holders to
liquidate their more secure holdings
and divert their capital into the
more speculative war babies Of the
stock market. Still another factor
Is the liquidation by foreign holders
OF governments in order to estab-
llsh dollar credits for their respec-
tive countries in the United States.
These latter two forces have the ef-
feet OF tightening the money market
for Federal securities, increasing
the probable yield on future offer
ings, and thus, relatively, diminish
ing the value of recent low-interest
issues"
