Czechs Resorting to Song
To Preserve NatiOnalism

PRAGUE.-"Give me the making of
the songs of nation and care not who
makes its laws" said Andrew Fletcher
and both the Czechs and the Nazis here
are paying him the compliment of acting
on his aphorism.
For the Czechs, who cannot make the
laws are at least making the songs and
are using the songs as weapons in their
struggle to maintain their national
identity. And the Nazis, who cannot
make the songs but do make the laws,
are using the laws to suppress some of
the Czech songs and thereby, the Nazis
hope, helping to suppress Czech nation
alism altogether, too.
With most other kinds of "demonstra-
tions" banned, the Czechs have turned
to music as an expression of their ma
tional spirit. They began to sing patri-
otic songs in cafes and restaurants. They
sang with special fervor when the Ger
mans were present.
Few Germans understand Czech, but
some do, and some of the Czech songs
were far from friendly to the Reich. So
every patriotic song meant the possibility
OF incidents. Public singing of nation
alstic songs, therefore, has been stopped

Spaniards Are Rebuilding
Theater. Set Back by War

BURGOS, Spain F.-Spain is rebuild
ing her place in the theatrical world
with the youth of the Falange Espanola
Tradicionalista.
The theater, like all other enterprises
in Spain, received a severe setback dur
ing the civil war, with many of the best
actors and actresses going abroad or
giving up their profession to join the
army and relief organizations.
But the youthful minister of govern
ment, Ramon Serrano Suner, who also
directs press and propaganda, was de-
termined that the theater should not die
because of the war and organized the
national theater section.
All of the available talent was rounded
up in the ranks of the Falange Espanola
and amateurs given what training was
available. BY the summer of 1888, shows
were being presented for the entertain
ment of soldiers and the public in gen.
eral in nearly every city and town IN

Public Spending Issue in Canadian ELECTION
Minister Expects Despite Pressure for Works Outlay

secure funds to meet unforeseen con-
tingencies of national importance. Ex-
penditures made by this method are not
approved by parliament until after the
money has been disbursed and, while
the total that it Is possible to spend is
unlimited, the theory has always been
in the past that all monies expended
in this way should be justified by a
national emergency.
Prime Minister King is taking the
stand now that a political emergency
for his government is not the same
thing as national emergency for the
country. And Mr.. King adds that for
an administration to make huge ap-
preparations without reference to Par
lament, particularly for the purposes
Of obtaining popularity with the elec-
torate, is the negation of democracy
and tantamount to dictatorship.
If the Liberal Prime Minister is sus-
tanned on the issue, it will not be for
lack of opposition. Hon. DR.. r. j.
Manion, leader of the Conservative
party, has been quick to see that the
unemployed vote right across the
Dominion is involved in the matter, and,
numerically, the vote of the unemployed
Is capable of proving a decisive factor
in the coming campaign. 1t is estimated
that it influences close to 20 per cent
of the electorate.
DR.. Manion has denounced the Prime
Minister for standing on technicality
in refusing to open the floodgates of
federal expenditure on the unemployed's
behalf.

the Presidents personal popularity,
which is almost unabated, carries no
more real political significance than the
rings on Saturn. Politically, he is freak
who has a tremendous vogue-like a
matinee hero. But Clark Gable or John
Barrymore, Rudy Vallee or Joe Di Mag
gio could have done as we'll in the White
House as Franklin Roosevelt has done
since he was sworn in in 1887.
He has been rebuked by his party and
licked in Congress so many times that he
has not fingers and toes enough for
sonal popularity is a rope of gittering
sand, powerless to affect the ma jor poll
cies of American politics. In his second
term he has won no major clash with
Congress. He is so badly weakened politi
cally that he cannot unite the Repub-
lican progressives and the Democratic
liberals He has succeeded only in unit
ing the Republican and the Democratic
conservatives. Yet probably if he wants
it and will pay the price, he may have
his third term. The politics of the de-
preston is just that mad!
Best for Republicans.
From a purely partisan Republican
standpoint, it would be better to let him
have his third term, quarantine him in
the White House and 60 ahead as the
Republican minority has been going
since 1888. For the Republicans have no
leader who could muster much more
power there than Franklin Roosevelt.
Imagine any of the fair-haired boys who
are favorite sons today in the White
House dealing with the inevitable Demo-
cratic Senate majority which must per-
sist even through Republican land
slide next year, 1t would be whirling
political chaos with its tail afire.

senility while the Republicans in Con-

Yet this truth Is so obvious that it is
silly.

OTTAWA, Canada.-After national
election now tentatively scheduled for
the last week in october, Canada ex-
poets to be in a position to furnish
the first answer ever given by demo-
cratic electorate to a question that is
fast assuming vital Importance for world
democracies generally.
That question is: In these days of
universal suffrage can a government be
reelected to power which refuses to
spend public monies lavishly with a
view to ending temporarily-if futilely
-large-scale unemployment?
Reigning Prime Minister w. L. Mac
kenzie King, whose record enables him
to boast of having lost only one general
election in all the 20 years during which
he has led the Canadian Liberal party,
believes that this question should be
answered in the affirmative. And he is
ready to put his belief to the test.
In other words, Canada's Prime Min
lister is going into campaign in which
the ultimate issue will lie between the
"haves" and the "have-nots' and he
fully expects the "haves" to win.
Consequently in the light of this
faith, Mr.. King has replied with point
blank refusal to prediction pressure on
his administration to embark upon a
large scale program of public works. He
says bluntly that while he realizes that
he might make himself popular for the
moment by opening the flood-gates of
federal spending on the elections eve
and temporarily banishing unemploy-

ment. he is sure that the popularity
would fade once the bills started to
come home to the countrys taxpayers.
Therefore there will be, he lays down
definitely, no bribery of the people
with their own money in the forthcom-
ing election-at least not through ex-
penditures upon public works.
Mr. Kings rejection of a public works
program at this time is all the more
dramatic an episode in current Canadian
politics because of the chief source
pressing for such policy The province
of Quebec has led the demand for an
immediate and lavish expenditure of
Quebec controls 65 out of the 245 seats
in the Canadian House of Commons,
while Liberal followers of Mr.. King hold
so out of the 65 seats.
The fact that the Prime Minister, in
his firm stand against spending policy,
is running counter to demand originat-
ing in the province that gives him his
largest individual bloc of seats, has
caused a first-class Canadian political
sensation.
The essence Of the Quebec demand,
which was presented to Ottawa by
politically formidable Premier Maurice
Duplessis, was that the Dominion au-
thorities should commence Immediately
to finance large-scale program of
public works by resort to the use Of
Governor Generals warrants. These
warrants represent an emergency pro-
vision in the federal financial set-up
whereby the Dominion authorities may

would merely write inis to the glorious

to the left, who would devote his CAM
paign exclusively to hammering upon the
extravaganza and the danger of expand
ing debt, would get somewhere.
Awakening of Plutocrats.
But the Philadelphia plutocrats seem
to think their party is less riven by
progressivism than the Democratic party
by liberalism The day their President
takes the key to the White House, these
plutocrats will wake up from their illu-
sion. They should not forget that Hard
ing Coolidge, or Hoover in the best of
all possible times never controlled the
United States Senate when the Progress
sive Republicans, allied with the liberal
Democrats, began to form a liberal, non-
partisan, Republican bloc in the Senate
Roosevelt has exhibited his impotence
Whereas Coolidge and Hoover felt it as
keenly, but covered it the best they could
Which is to say that while the cleo
toral college chooses our presidents and
cratic, there can never be an entirely
liberal and frankly conservative party
in the United States. Always while the
South remains race-conscious we shall
have two conservative factions and two
liberal factions, one in each party The
two liberal factions cannot unite at the
polls, but always they unite in the United
of{ ;,, La
Of Representatives. Not since Theodore
Roosevelt's day has the liberal bloc been
out of control in Congress save only when
log-rolling reactionaries have united to
pass the various tariff bills
Yearner's Popular Front.
1t is this dominant liberalism in both
parties which wrecks either party when
President like William H. Taft or
Franklin Roosevelt tries recklessly to
unite either bifurcated party. The bull
headed belief that he can make the
Democratic party liberal is the founda-
ton of President Roosevelts dilemma
today. He thought he had a mandate
by the victory of 1886 He thought he
had monolithic party in that election.
What he had was yearner's popular
front. When he tried to make the mon
olith a party, it crumbled.
But if the Republicans defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt, they again will be as
impotent as he. The reactionary pop
ular front of haters will fade under a
Republican President as surely as
Roosevelt's liberal Democratic phantom
dissolved before his eyes. There are,
indeed two parties, liberal and con-
servative party. But they vote in two
primaries and unite only in one congress
sional bloc. They will unite under pres
sure in Al as they united under pressure
in 81. That fact President Roosevelt
ignored. That fact the men now raising
money to pay for the undertaken for
the Republican party will not face
squarely. Both-Roosevelt and the
hard-boiled Philadelphia plutocrats-
are dreamers.

The political prospects for 1910, IN
the light of the dissension in the
Democratic party and the political
lineup in Congress. are assayed here
by "the Sage OF Emporia," ,Dho has
been a trained Observer of the Aneri-
can scene for more than half CEN
tury and confdant OF the Nations
political and industrial chiefs.
Since January, 1887, when President
Roosevelt, exalted with the most smash
ing presidential victory in American his
tory, started to reform the Supreme
Court he has been facing stark reality,
facing it with closed eyes. That reality
is this He is not the leader of the Dem
ocratic party
He is a factional leader He faces a
divided party-the liberals on one side,
a diminishing majority, and on the other
side of the factional party line a grow
ing conservative Democratic minority.
President Roosevelt cannot control either
house of the Congress under the pressure
of Republican organization. The Demo-
cratic party is as deeply and as
irreconcilably split today as the Republi-
can party has been split for 80 years.
The two parties are exactly alike. The
two factions in each party, the Republi-
can progressives and the Democratic
liberals, and, on the other hand, the
Republican reactionaries and the Demo-
cratic conservatives are two peas in the
same pod. Yet here is strange
anomaly: The President probably can
force nomination in party which, being
disrupted, will further despise him. More
overit is possible that he may even have
a third term. For Republican leaders
are dumb and avaricious for power.
Knows He Will Be Impotent.
1t is evident that Mr. Roosevelt knows
now that a forced nomination from a
disrupted party, even if he wins the
election, will leave him impotent, dis
credited and alone on the desert island
of a White House avoided as a plague
by all but sycophants and office seekers.
He is smart enough to know that, in the
White House from Al to AS, with a
bitterly disaffected conservative old
South, with the property-minded tam
manies of the Northern cities refusing
to trade with him except in the wampum
of patronage, he would soon become
a ridiculous figure in American history.
He would be written there in another
generation as man who shattered the
third-term precedent for the empty
honor of sitting like leper in the White
House making futile snoots at the Amer
lean Congress.
Since the congressional election of
1898. wherein the President was rebuked
in the Democratic primaries when he
started the purge and was later rebuked
by great Republican gains, the signs of
the political times have indicated that
