Reich Asks Britain
To Recall Vienna
Consul General
: Request Retaliation for
EneIond's Ousting Of
Liverpool Agent
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 21.-The German
government announced today 1t had
asked Great Britain to recall her
Consul General at Vienna, Donald
st. Clair Gamer.
The request was made as a re-
suit of the British government S
action in ousting Walther Rein
hardt, German Consul General at
Liverpool, who was accused of as
sisting an espionage agent.
A German government spokesman
said sufficient similar evidence"
had been assembled against Mr..
Gamer to warrant the demand for
his recall.
The official reason given for the
German governments demand was
that during a court action 1t de-
veloped that the British Consulate
General was involved in an affair
concerning forbidden information
service" No further explanation
was given.
Mr.. Gamer, Al, has held consular
posts in Germany for II of the last
l3 years. He assumed the Vienna
post last year, shortly after Aus
tria was annexed to Germany.
Mr.. Gamer took over conduct of
British affairs in the former Aus
trian capital after the British Le-
cation there was closed 1t fell to
him to absorb the old legation in his
new Consulate General. Previously
he had been Consul General at
Munich.
A German informant previously
had said the request for recall of a
British official would be a "tit for
tat" measure.
Prime Minister Chamberlain told
Parliament June IA that after
studying court records he had to
accept the conclusion that the Ger
man consulate in Liverpool was i'm
plicated in case in which it was
alleged that man named Joseph
Kelley had been assisted in making

mer after the annexation of Austria
Capt Thomas Kendrick. for 13
years British passport control Of
hcer in Vienna. was arrested August
II, 1898, because there were proofs
Of his conducting espionage" He
was expelled from Germany.
The explanation for seizure of
Kendrick as he was about to cross
the frontier into Switzerland on a
vacation was made after Britain had
informed Germany she took a Sc
rious view" of the incident and had
demanded his release and an ex-
planation of his detention.

SPEEDING ON RESIDENCE
STREETS iNExCUSABLE

Perhaps the most tragic of all automo-
bile tragedies is that in which little
boy or girl is killed.
Accidents accountable for such trag-
edies occur almost entirely within deslg-
mated areas-resdence areas
Motorists driving downtown cannot
speed for many reasons. One is that traf-
fic is too thick. Another is that traffic
officer is liable to be near. A third IS that
stop signs are too numerous.
Children who have to visit the down.
town area for one reason or another are
far more careful of automobile than
they are when playing IN their own
neighborhoods.
The danger spot, in Ell Centre as in
most other cities, is not downtown. 1t Is
in the residence districts.
On almost any residence street in Ell
Centre, at almost any time of day, you
can see speeding driver, who could not
stop his car within so feet if life depend
ed upon it, And often life does depend
upon it.
On Olive avenue, on Orange avenue and
on other southside streets it is a common
occurrance to hear the squeal of brakes
as some driver slows down at an intersec
tion. Yet the danger to thoughtless, play
ing youngsters is not at the intersections
1t Is DelNeSl JHeHl
On Ell Centre and Euclid avenues in
the northsde, and on other streets in
that portion of town, automobiles and
trucks often race by at speeds so dizzy
it is impossible to read their license
plates. Worse still, there are mechanics
who make regular practice of testing
brakes on residence streets-particular
ly on Euclid and El Centre avenues.
There can be no excuse for such utter
disregard of the safety of others, espe-
cially when those others are young chill
dren. 1t is all very we'll to say, Their
parents should teach them to keep off
of the streets" but any adult with the
slightest remembrance of his own child
hood should know that all the teaching
in the world will not curb the eXhuber-
ance of a child whose ball has bounded
suddenly into the street, or who carries
a new toy he. is bursting to show his
little friend across the way.
Adults are supposed to be wiser than
children. They are supposed to look after
and protect the little fellows. There is
neither wisdom nor protection when a
car speeds madly down street on which
children may be playing, carrying with
it the momentary threat of death.
If the drivers cannot control them
selves, the law should control them
Speeding on residence streets should not
be tolerated.

-- D ALE CAR NE GLE

the melody over and over, and I'm
ally got it into shape. He went back
to the doctor and the doctor seated
himself to hear his beloved Mozart
when Paderewski played his own
composition in fear and trembling
The doctor leaped to his feet
oh Mozart! There never will be
another like you, You are wonder
full" Then Paderewski told the
truth. The doctor was flabbergast-
ed. But the music was splendid nc
matter who had composed it. Pad
erewski'S minuet, composed thru
sheer necessity, has become world
famous.
PaderewSki had not known that
he could compose i'll the style OF
Mozart. He never even dreamed
he could do it. But when it SEEM
ed necessary TO him, he did it and
made a success of it. What u fine
lesson there is in that for us! We
all have possibilities we don't know
about. We can do things We don't
even dream We can do. It's only
when necessity faces us that we
rise to the occasion and actually
do the things that hitherto have
seemed impossible.

SHARE THE ROAD

A prominent oil company bases its cur
rent advertising campaign on much need
ed improvement in ordinary sportsman
ship among motorists. It's Share the
Road" program breaches that horse sense
and consideration for the other fellow
are fundamental rules of safety.
Hogging the road, crooked parking,
turning without proper signals, turning
across traffic - such methods are ev-
dence Of dangerous incompetency and
rotten sportsmanship. It's too bad so
many people are "screwdrivers, who
endanger lives and are noted by their
friends as "a screwdriver, and therefore
selfish, and a poor sportsman"
They say you can size up a man prop
erly by playing poker or golf with him
because he shows his true colors then.
They should add: OR by watching him
drive"
1t is commendable that this company
or any other connected with the auto
mobile industry should base sales cam
paign upon such worthy plan to i'm
prove public safety and perform pub
lie service.

SAFEGUARD THE CHILD
(SacramentO Bee)

One of the worst things that can hap
pen to a child is to come into this world
with its blood contaminated by the syph-
woe, of despair and death.
1t is not possible, probably, that all
such syphilitic births can be prevented ;
but it is an established fact that, with
the proper precautionary measures, the
number can be reduced to very small
percentage of what now actually is re-
corded in the United States.
And is not that a worthwhile goal to
which every effort should be directed?
This is the motivating purpose behind
the bill by Assemblyman Hugh Burns of
Fresno county providing for compulsory
blood tests for expectant mothers.
This already is the common practice in
the best hospitals of the state; for it is
a known fact that the mother may carry
in her own blood this taint in complete
ignorance Of its deadly presence.
But, if this is discovered in time in
the vast maj jority of cases-in nearly all
of them in fact-the developing embryo
may be saved from infection and the
baby finally come into the world with
its blood stream clean and pure
This is a simple precautionary mea-
sure that may spell the difference be-
tween doomed life and a happy life.
The legislature should follow its en-
lightened venereal disease program Of
two years by passing unanimously the
Burns bill to strangle this menace to the
cradles of the state.

THE FEDERAL
PROPAGANDA MILLS

Franklin Waltman, director of public
itv for the Republican national commit
tee said in a New York address that
the New Deal was employing hundreds
of press agents without congressional
sanction.
In addition TO these press agents of
which only 270 are known, because the
Works Progress Administration and
other New Deal agencies have declined to
reveal the extent Of their publicity ser
vices, the federal government is spend
ing large sums annually on radio and
motion pictures to present every detail
of its activities daily to the American
people, through press. radio and news
reel. in its most favorable light and
to promote distinct philosophy of
government and life in some respects an
tagonistic to that generally accepted in
this country
Mr.. Waltman charged that the federal
propaganda mills strike at the very roots
of the democratic process. If these are
to function, then both sides of public
questions must be presented. But that is
not possible SO long as the federal gov
eminent spends millions of dollars an
nually for presenting the side Of the
party which happens to be in power"
An act OF congress, passed in 1913,
provides that mo money appropriated
shall be used for the compensation of
any publicity expert unless specifically
appropriated for that purpose"
Operating these high-power propagan-
da mills, the agencies undertake to per-
suade the American people that govern
ment's eXtravagant spending is benefi-
cial. Through these mills, federal agen-
cies strike at private groups and com
panies which openly employ publicity
agents. Just how much it costs to keep
these propaganda mills in operation is
a secret and it will remain a secret as
long as the abecedarium can suppress its
record of public spending. Private COM
panies are required to open their records
to inspection by federal bureaucrats, but
many federal records are closed to the
public which pays for maintenance of
bureaus and agencies.

the doctor had an Overwhelming

when he found how well young

was delighted. All, discovery! He
would introduce him TO his circle

Willis Thornton's Editorial Or.
We Must JeaIousIy Guard Our Liberties

II is quite true that the United
States cannot afford TO be indif-
ferent to what goes on IN the resi-
of the world. What destroys liberty
in any part of the world tends
eventually to destroy liberty III the
rest OF it.
But our concern with such re-
mote events is matter of degree,
ranging from the almost purely
theoretical right up to the imml-
nently practical
Liberty here and now is our first
and most immediate concern. Moth
ing more true was ever said than
that eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty"
Freedom is not maintained by
the mere fact that $50 years ago
our fathers won it. Day by day,
in the smallest matters, We must
ourselves fight for it if We are 10
keep it. A sorry joke on the United
States it would be TO find that by
the time we had launched great
foreign crusade for liberty We mad
ourselves lost it.
That is why, though it some
times seems tiresome, it is neces-
sary to keep drumming away at
everything that looks as though
it might be an infringement on
the liberties OF free men.
AS never before, the federal gov
eminent seems to be conscious of
this. Most of the highest court
decisions of recent years have been
on the side of freedom, and the
Supreme Court has proved itself
a real custodian of the people S
liberty in several important cases.
The department of justice has
set up division specifically charg-

ed with safeguarding civil liberties.
Many states. irritated almost be-
yond endurance by clumsy ana
stupid Nazi propaganda, are con-
sidering laws TO throttle IL. YeO
every legislator considering such
laws must carefully consider: how
far may such utterances be shut
off without throttling every mans
right to say or write What he
pleaSeS?
There are acts proposed TO pun
ish the libel of races, Such pro-
posals arise from irritation with
the especially nauseous efforts to
build up racial hatred. But can
such law be written which does
not also infringe on many other
kinds of free speech? .
After all, propaganda is simply
the other fellows free speech.
No set of ideas, bad or good, has
ever been permanently suppressed
by law. The bad ones die OIL oil
their own foolishness, the good
ones survive in spite OF any sup
preston.
Americas one best defense, in
fact its ultimate only defense,
against "subversive" ideas is TO
face the facts. roll up our sleeves,
and make life in the United States
so much better than it is anywhere
else in the world that nobody will
listen to agitators.
