admonished him to be a good boy.
He studied hard, and year later
won scholarship in a theological
seminary.
His father was cobbler. They
lived in a cellar. Their food was

Wretched little village in the Cau-

hood, he joined an organization Of
revolutionary youth.
Before the death Of Lenin, there
were 72 "old Bolsheviks" who had
made the revolution. There are
now two of them alive-Stalin and
Leon Trotsky. At time when he
had Russia firmly in his grip, SUCH
names as Kameneff, Radek and
Tchitcherin were widely known
throughout the world-but not
Stain. His ascendency was the
quiet and ruthless manipulation of
political machine. In his famous
testament" written shortly before
his death, Lenin said:
"Comrade Stain, having become
General Secretary, has concentrated
an enormous power in his hands,
and I am not sure that he always
knows how to use that power with
sufficient caution. Stain is too
rude, and this fault, entirely sup
portable among us Communists, be-
comes insupportable in the Office
of General Secretary. Therefore
propose to the comrades to find
way to remove Stain from that
position, and to appoint to it an
other man who in all respects diff
fers from Stain, namely one more
patient, more logical, more polite,
more attentive to comrades, and
less capricious"
But, by that time. Stain had the
comrades pretty well seWed up.

the world situation, all tend to take
the minds of the people off domestic
issues. And, domestically, the New
Deal administration was in a mess
before the outbreak of the war. 1t
is the aim of Senator Vandenberg
and other opponents of the New
Deal to keep the domestic situation
In the minds of the American peo-
pie, in the hope that when election
time rolls round next year, they
will turn the New Dealers out of
control of the Government. This,
OF course, is politics, but Senator
Vandenberg and others say it is JUS
tifiable politics and in the interests
OF the American people. And they
point out another thing-this coun-
try is not now engaged in war, nor
is it allied to any of the belligerents.
1t war comes, the American peo-
pie will close ranks and support the
Government. But If war does not
come, there is no particular reason,
in the opinion of Mr.. Vandenberg
and other anti-New Dealers, Demo-
Gratis as well as Republicans, why
the American people should unite to
re-elect the present regime. In fact,
they have just the reverse in their
minds.
Billions for Defense Better.
Bernard M. Baruch, head of the
War Industries Board in this coun-
try during the World War, in an in
tervieW with the Associated Press,
declared that this country should
prepare to defend itself on both the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans-with
an adequate feet in each ocean.
This, he asserted, is the only way
that America can be sure of peace
in the future. In addition to
greatly increased naval strength, Mr..
Baruch proposed that the land forces
and the air forces be added to ma
terially. This suggestion will find
support in many quarters. In a
world which has abandoned, appar-
entity everything except the rule of
force, reason and justice are not
alone able to cope with the situation.
Americans generally are alive to
the need of adequate defense. And,
generally, they are in favor of pro-
vlding such defense. They would
much rather spend billions for de-
tense, If necessary, rather than COM
NIT this country to foreign entan-
Cling alliances. They would rather
spend a huge sum of money build
Ing up the Navy than to spend the
money-and much more-to carry
on war in Europe or anywhere else.
Under the leadership of President
Roosevelt long steps already have
been taken to strengthen the Amer
lean Navy and the air defenses of
the country. 1t requires time, how
ever, to construct naval vessels. The
sooner the program is completed
the better off this country will be.
There will be opposition to the
Baruch idea of naval increase There
will be plenty of those who say: IF
We just mind our own business and
maintain friendly relations with the
nations of the world, there is no
need for greatly increased armed
forces The trouble about it, how
ever, is that other nations have
given no indication that they will
be content to mind their own busi-
ness. or to maintain friendly rela-
tlons with the United States. Some
OF them have already been treading

the New Deal administration?
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Of
Michigan, who has been a leading
candidate for the Republican presi-
dental nomination, in a speech in
his home town, Grand Rapids, to
the Kent County Republican Club
on Saturday, asserted emphatically
that politics should not be adjourned
for the sake of continuing the New
Dealers in power. He handled the
New Dealers without gloves, insist
ing that President Roosevelt and
his followers had prevented recov-
cry in this country and had failed
utterly to bring back prosperity.
"Unneutral to Change Now"
The Michigan Senator, rightly or
wrongly as it may be viewed, is op-
posed to the Presidents plan to re-
peal the embargo against the sale
of American-madea arms and NUM-
tions to the European belligerents.
He thinks it is an unneutral act to
change the law now andt will be a
step toward getting this country
into war. He is expected to be a
leader in the congressional battle
now about to begin. Obviously, Sem
ator Vandenberg has only stuck to
the position which he assumed sew
eral years ago-While others, includ-
ipg a vast majority of the members
of Congress who now favor repeal,
have abandoned their earlier posi-
ton, since they helped to write the
embargo into law. But already Mr..
Vandenberg is being accused by New
Dealers of playing personal politics
in his opposition to the President S
demand for repeal of the embargo.
1t is only step from this kind
of thing to charging all members
of Congress who oppose the Presi-
dent on anything he proposes with
playing partisan and selfish politics
1t makes no difference how con-
scientious they may be in their op-
position. And so politics is ad-
journed, but adjourned in one di-
rection only.
President Roosevelt's cancellation
of a speech which he had planned
to make to Democratic women has
been hailed as real gesture toward
IAN adjournment of politics" His
invitation to former Gov. Alf M
Landon of Kansas and Col. Frank
Knox of Chicago, Republican nomi-
nees for President and Vice Presi-
dent in 1886, to attend his confer
ence with congressional leaders at
the White House tomorrow, is re-
garded as another such gesture. But
| are Mr.. Landon and Col. Knox to be
accused of playing partisan politics
If they fail to agree with the Presi-
dent over the arms embargo repeal
or with any of his other plans?
Peoples Mind Diverted.
Senator Vandenberg does not ac-
cept any suggestion that domestic
politics shall be adjourned or that
domestic problems, including deficit
spending and unemployment, be
relegated to the cellar and attic, not
to be seen or heard until after the
national elections of 1910. He made
that very clear in his Grand Rapids
speech.

Neutrality will become, SO far as
these matters of shipment are con-

impractical task before the war has
gone many months. That is why

SQEEzE JOB
IN West TEST
FAILS TO SET

The first Squeeze job" in Kelvin
Sunburst field failed during the
past week because the cement fail
ed to set and when the plug was
drilled out it was found that water
and oil were both coming into the
hole as before. The amount of
high gravity oil was slightly in
creased but the water still pre-
dominates.
The squeeze job" theoretically
shuts off the water and allows
the oil to continue to flow into
the hole. 1t had never before been
tried in this field although re-
marka'ble success has been reported
in the Midcontinent and Texas. The
system was tried on a sand we'll in
