Element of Uncertainty IL
What Makes Change Harmful

And that brings us to the crux Of
this situation. It is the element Of
uncertainty that Mr.. Roosevelt in
jected into our national life by the
change in one holiday date that is
harmful. Instead of promoting a
feeling Of security, my bunch is
that the President has spread I'M
certainty and has caused confidence
to crash in many spot of which
he never dreamed. Instead of Gre
ating a net increase in business by
making a longer Christmas shop
ping period, I believe a cold analy-
sis will show that the change will
cost the country, as a whole, many
millions of dollars in net losses.
Our nation has grown up, not in
one piece, but in many pieces, each
one fitted to another as smooth
working as the gears of your auto
mobile. When the engine turns over,
it exerts pressure on the clutch,
then on the drive shaft, then on the
gears and then on the wheels, and
the car moves. When any one unit
of industry in America-any one
phase of life-is changed suddenly,
the clutch and the drive shaft and
the gears and the wheels of others
are affected. More than any other
one thing that has happened in re-
cent years, believe, the Presidents
announcement proves how closely
knitted our lives are. 1t shows. too,
that government can wreck national
life as well as preserve and protect
it.

EUROPE
Week Of Crisis
Peace or war?

Peace or war? ~.
Renewed activity, both military
and diplomatic, indicated that this
question may be answered one way
or the other before this week Of
crisis ends.
Concentration of more than a
quarter of million German troops,
fully equipped for war, along Slo-
vakia's border with Poland followed
closely upon a conference between
Hitler and Count Stephen Csaky,
Hungarian foreign minister, after
which it was announced that Hun
gary and the Reich had become
firmly allied. Both of these moves
were regarded as part of the Ger
man plan to "encircle" Poland and
as a buildup for Hitler's making
final Offer to. Poland on his de-
mands for Danzig and link with
East Prussia through Pomorze ,(the
Polish Corridor). sg4
To meet this armed threat, Poland
began sending troop Heterogeneous
toward her frontiers facing Germany
and S1ovakia as a precautionary
measure against any eventuality."
However, there were indications
that Poland, feeling this military
pressure, might advance some plan
for settlement Of the Danzig ques-
ton by negotiation.
There were equally strong indica-
tions that she would resist armed
force with armed force and count
upon Great Britain to back her up.
Whether or not her confidence in
that backing is well-placed will be-
come apparent if Prime Minister
Chamberlain, who interrupted a va
cation in Scotland to return to Lon
don, issues a statement after his
conference with Foreign Secretary
Lord Halifax, War Minister Leslie
Hore-Belisha, Sir John Simon, chan
cellor oflthe exchequer, Sir Samuel
Hoare, home secretary, and NAL
colin Macdonald, colonial secre-
tary. Significant was. an editorial
in the London Times, which often
reflects the views of the British gov
eminent. 1t said that Great Britain
had given Poland "a specific pledge
from which it win not and can not
recede. 1t had given no such
pledge to Czecho-Slovakia."

than armed force, is used to solve

ARMY: ss-
Iron Horses to Front!

While a group Of foreign observ-
ers, including military attaches from
Germany, France, Great Britain
and half a dozen other European
countries looked on, the crack mech
anized Seventh Cavalry from Fort
Knox, KY, swung into action for the
first time in two battles" in which
$1,000 regular soldiers and National
Guardsmen were engaged this week
in the war games near Plattsburg,
N. Y. A day of rain that soaked
fields and highways gave Uncle
Sans ''iron horses" a real test of
their usefulness in modern war.
Before the second phase of the
games began, Lieut.. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commander-in-chief, assem-
bled 5000 officers on the parade
ground to present a few facts. Pub
icly scorned was the suggestion that
his troops fight at paper strength"
!. e., with imaginary armament the
army hopes some day to secure.
The general demanded a campaign
of reality, ''to bring home the actu-
alities of our state Of preparedness"
Only in tanks, he said, is the army
up to strength. Other deficiencies:
manpower, n per cent; machine
guns, 81 per cent; trucks, So; auto
matte rifles, ST.. A3 2.

compensate for inefficiency in the
conduct of a fight. What we need

is said to have identified a photo
graph of prominent Bund member

him with instructions to give it to
''the girl in the black dress"
Most important witness thus far
has been Bundmaster Fritz Kuhn.
After hearing his life story, Repre-
sentative Starnes of the committee
asked Kuhn if his organization
wasn't intended to establish a Nazi

''That's an absolute liza fiat
ie!" shouted Kuhn.
Flaming with anger, Joe Starnes
jumped to his feet. Showing report
ers and photographers aside he
strobe toward the witness crying:
"Don't call me iarl''
When capitol policemen had put
an end to these fighting words, the
committee got down to more serious
work. With calm elaboration, Illi-
nois Rep. Noah Mason drew enough
information from the witness to
make German-American bundism
distasteful. When faced with the ac-
cusation that his bund is ga money
making racket based on the credu-
lily of the American people," Kuhn
countered by listing these strange
detectives: Q) To unite the Ger

AGRICULTURE:
Milk Farley

AS the result of renewed violence
in upstate New York, marked by
more milk-dumping and some skull
cracking when police and state
troopers clashed with milk plant
pickets, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
of New York city this week called
farmer and distributor representa-
tives into conference to seek
peaceful solution of their dispute.
The mayors action came after the
dairymen's strike had cut the usual
supply available to the metropolitan
area from 4,400, 900 quarts to $780,
600 quarts, although both sides had
given assurance that hospitals, pub
Lie institutions and other needy Gus
toners would receive an adequate
supply.
The Farmers Dairy union, which
claims a membership of 5000 dairy
farmers and which is supported by
the c. !. O., called the strike in an
effort to force distributors to pay
them $2.35 hundredweight Cor AZ
quarts) for all classes of milk. The
present price for such offended"
milk, which is used for manufacture
ing as well as drinking purposes
is $1.60 hundredweight.
Hearings in Syracuse and New
York city to discuss the price struc-
ture have been ordered for this
week by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture.

POLITICS.:
Stop Spendingr

Calling upon the Roosevelt admin
istration to take the lead in CO.
operative effort by business, labor,
farmers and others to stimulate pro-
duction, the American Federation of
Labor in its monthly survey of bust
ness declared that an expansion of
industry is necessary to forestall "a
further demand for government
spending, with its danger of infia-
ton and consequent losses to wage
earners."
It said experts commended that pro-
duction increases could be planned
for the country as whole, but that
businessmen were not likely to lead
in the, expansion because business
risks were greater and profits small
er than in predepression years.
Defeat of the administration
lending bill was cited as evidence
that congress had rejected the
"pump-priming" theory Of stimulat-
ing recovery and by SO doing had
placed the responsibility ON bust
ness.
This suggestion of farmer-labor-
business-government get-together,
following close upon the heels Of
similar suggestion by Philip Muir
ray, c. I. o. vice president, is re-
garded as evidence that the A. F.
of L. is not only trying to bring
labor peace but will probably side
with business in the 1910 campaign
against a Roosevelt-backed candi-
date, unless he discards his philoso-
ply of spending as method of r
coVery.
