Bruckrt's Washington Digest
People Of Farms and Small Towns
Will Lead Way to Sane Thinking
Less Affected by Selfshness and Mass Emotion Than
City Folks; President Puts Republicans on Spot;
Embargo Faces Long Debate in Senate.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART

WASHINGTON. -The late Lord
Balfour, one Of the really far-seeing
British statesmen Of two decades
ago, once uttered an observation
to present conditions. During the
early days of 1917 before American
force had begun to weigh heavily in
the balance Of world hostilities,
Lord Balfour said to a group of
American newspaper editors and
publishers:
The central powers will be de-
feated in this war, but the test will
come after peace has been enforced
by arms. The test will be whether
the peace we have thus gained will
be worth having-whether we can
preserve liberty and democracy. /
believe we will be able to sustain
that peace and preserve that free
dom; and ! believe, moreover, that
it will be the people of rural Amer
ica-of the farms and the small
towns-that will lead the world back
to sane thinking"
With the congress giving consid-
Grafton to President Roosevelt's ur-
gent request for repeal Of the arms
embargo as means Of preserving
our neutrality in the present Euro
pean conflict, but with propaganda
stirring up emotions on all sides,
there seems to be a need for that
sane thinking" that Lord Balfour
mentioned. And, as l said above,
1t is made to appear that the people
OF the farms and the small towns
are going to have to lead the way
again; they have that responsibility
because they obviously will be less
affected by selfshness, racial inter-
est. foreign influence and mass emo
ton that upsets thought on issues
OF this kind. Whether we are able
to stay out Of this war or whether
we get into 1t, the individualist that
is the resident of the small town
or the farm has the job Of preserv-
ing our traditions and our civiliza-
ton.
Having made such a sweeping
statement concerning these respon-
sibilities, I will attempt to show
what the facts are, what has been
going on in Washington and else
where. that has bearing on the
point.

Reaction to Conference
Is Favorable to President

The general reaction to the con-
ference with congressional leaders
appears to have been very favorable
to the President. The public thought
on inclusion of former Governor
Landon of Kansas and Col. Frank
Knox Of Illinois, Republican nom-
inees for the presidency and vice
presidency in 1885. however, was
quite different. Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
vertised the invitation to these gen.
tlemen to the conference as evil
dence of his desire to adjourn poll
tics. That ballyhoo did not take
hold very well. Many observers
wondered how the President figured
that Messrs. Landon and Knox could
have anything to say about national
policy which is the exclusive re-
sponsibility Of congress. They were
defeated, discredited as leaders, by
the voters in 1886. Thus, critics
suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt-with
politics adjourned-had played an
exceedingly smart brand of politics
and Messrs. Landon and Knox
swallowed the bait in the fashion Of
amateurs. The President has put
the whole Republican party on the
spot, with the assistance of its men,
bers, and there are signs that a
Republican effort will be made to
offset the move.
Now, there is another thing crop
ping up. Beneath shouts of patriot
ism and declarations that we must
avoid getting into the raging mad
ness overseas, there is a feeling
that congress ought to remain on
the job straight through the winter.
The determination of the President
and his spokesman in congress is to
limit action in the extra session to
the subject Of repeal of the arms
embargo. If that is all the actual
work that is accomplished, it would
require only short time. On the
other hand, there seems to be a
Keeling that Mr.. Roosevelt should
not be left with all Of the respon-
sibility Of a war threat hanging
over head. Since the entire men,
bership has been called back here.
the observation has been frequent
that they ought to stay on until the
regular session begins in January
to be Of help to the President as
lightning-like changes take place in
the situation abroad.
One hears a great deal Of dis
cussion among senators and repre-
sentatives about our nations finan-
cial and economic condition. They
suddenly have realized the fact that
there exists national debt of more
than $45. 000. 900. OO0-almost $50, 000,-
100000 more than the total Of the
debt when the World war ended. It

Phase surely was evident.
Be that as it may, the senate is
determined to debate the proposal
at great length. 1t faces a long
drawn-out struggle. and the value
Of that will be, as many senators
have stated, to clarity the issues
in the public mind. That is to say,
there will be a capitalization of
sentiment brought about by the
debate. u 81
Mr.. Roosevelt called in congress
sional leaders, both Democratic and
Republican, for a White House dis
cussion Of the plan. He explained
publicly and to the members of the
conference that party politics should
be adjourned-that this was no
time for politics.

Brother and Sister Meet
After 47-Year Separation

BUFFALO, N. Y.-Separated in
Ireland nearly a half century ago,
Mrs. John L. Marmion, of Buffalo,
and her brother, John Mallon, of
Cambridge, Mass, have been re
united.
Mallon came to the United States
AZ years ago, but throughout the
years neglected to write home. His
sister came here IL years ago, and
thought Mallon dead when efforts to
find him proved futile.
Recently, Mallon wrote a parish
priest in Ireland, asking his sisters
address. He received the informa-
ton, resulting in the reunion here.

Turn to Rural America to
Lead Way to Sane Thinking


Lead Way to Sane Thinking
And as to the government itself,
attention lately has been called to
the fact that there are now 927. 1877
persons on the government payroll.
Contrast that with 917,76O, which
was the greatest number employed
by the government at any time dur
ing the World war. The military
and naval forces are not included in
the figures given. These facts were
mentioned to me at the Capitol the
other day because some members
were looking to conditions after an
other war. 1t was explained that
there was very little contraction of
the governments size after the
World war and that was more than
offset by expansions in the last
six years. In other words, a war
will place an additional drain upon
the government, which is the peo-
pie, that will become 2 permanent
thing.
Thus we see that minor matters,
as well as major questions, are hav-
ing an effect upon the thinking of
the country While they are not
so intended. all of the many gov
ernmental changes and plans and
conditions turn conversations to the
subject Of war.
So, we come back to the original
statement. From a long period of
observation Of people, it seems to
me that those folks who form the
backbone Of America are likely to
be less influenced by the various
things / have mentioned than is
the case with the folks in the cities.
The part Of rural America which
will provide the balance of power
in decision to stay out of war, or
60 in. will be able to think clearly.
Esms and Insane Ideologies
Have Their Origin in Cities
To refer again to Lord Balfour's
statement, it can be said that he
foresaw exactly what has happened
in the United States. It is neces-
sary only to recall that all of the
isms and insane ideologies through
which we have passed since the
World war have had their origin in
cities. Movements" for this and
that and the other program or plan
came from hotbeds in thiclly popu-
lated areas. It is to be admitted
that they gained much more head
way than any one thought possible.
They are again on the way out,
however, because such things have
no appeal for the type of citizens
to which Lord Balfour referred.
When the situation in Washington
is summed up as of this time, there
fore, one can properly ask wheth-
er it makes any difference what
congress does about the arms en-
barge. The things about which we
must worry make up a combina-
ton package. They are little
things, when taken separately. To-
gether, they constitute national pol
icy. If each of these little things
tends to involve the United States
just little Bit more each time,
then we are going to get into Diff
ferences with the heIliperent M
tons. While all of this is happen
ing, however, none of us can es-
cape the thought that it is up to the
United States to preserve civiliza-
ton as we now know it, and our
job is cut out for us when the Euro
pean war is over. 1t is not peace
only for the sake Of peace, but a
policy designed to help save some
thing out of the European ruins for
benefit Of all.
