upsetting reports have come to
Washington from several crucial
States. The Illinois organization of
Ed Kelly, for example. has sue

that the Italians and Irish Roman

Fertile Field for Prejudices.

In a country where New Deal rad
icalism is encouraging class warfare
every day and where out of these
same groups come aggressive leaders
to array themselves conspicuously
in the class war. these unfortunate
prejudices and determinations find
q fertile field for growth.
But it is a significant fact that
We hear relatively little of anti
aienism or racial bigotry when there
is prosperity. Very little was heard
of it in America in the 20S and very
little will be heard of it again If
Willkie is elected because he will be
in position to heal the class
wounds and bring about genuine
unemployment.
While it is true that the arma-
ment boom is expected to give busi-
ness stimulus. it is also true that
fear of one aftermath of armament
spending already is causing uneasi-
ness lest we face an economic COL
lapse two or three years hence. The
election of Mr.. Willkie is unques-
tionably going to bring a confidence
and encouragement to the business
world which will bring about the
capital flow so vitally needed to take
up the slack in building a sound
economic system. The election of
Mr.. Roosevelt will bring more rad
icalism and encouragement to
business.
Economic Question Vital.
What the foreign and racial
groups have to think about, there
fore. is this: Whatever will benefit
Americas economic system will
benefit all citizens irrespective of
race or creed or color Whatever
tends to break down the economic
system and produce more class war
fare or initiation and, in the end,
economic chaos will naturally affect
adversely all minority groups here.
1t is not question of the PERSONAL
ity of the head of an administra-
ton, but may accompany adverse
economic conditions.
Mr.. Roosevelt happens to have
been President at a time when
he could express the sympathy of
the American people for oppressed
races and conquered nations. But
that was nothing personal and any
effort to make it appear so can
only provoke irritation and resent

origin, their race, religion, or their
color
This is acute in the present cam
paign because of the war in Europe,
though in many respects it resembles
the unfortunate chapters in Ameri-
can politics during the 1916 cam
paign when the citizens of Irish
and German extraction found them
selves in the midst of a dilemma
created by the politicians.
Today the problem arises with
reference to the Italians, the Poles,
the Czechs, the Germans and the
Jews whether born abroad or in
America.
Anti-Alien Trend.
There can be no denying the fact
that there exists in the United
States nowadays a very definite
anti-alien trend which covers all
the foreign groups irrespective of
creed and there is also very definite
trend against radicals and Com
munistS on theory that they do not
understand the American way of life
and are attempting to foist their
tsns on the American people.
One has only to glance at the
series of proposals pending in Con-
gress affecting aliens to realize that,
irrespective Of party, the anti-alien
feeling is growing. 1t would be
shurtsighted of any leader of a
foreign-born group to tell his fol-
lowers that either Mr. Roosevelt
or Mr.. Willkie is a better friend of
these groups than the other. Such
assumptions are not only fallacious
on their face, but they do an in
finite amount of harm. 1t would
be far better if all these groups
OF alien origin were approached on
strictly American arguments and
there happen to be plenty which
have nothing to do with the foreign
or radical groups as such.
Basically, for instance, any one Of
experience who has watched the
attacks on minority groups in Eu-
rope and has observed the begin
nings Of similar prejudice in this
country, will come to the conclusion

And with economic upheavals radi-

nesses and produce antagonisms,

Daugherty's day as attorney general,
when William J. Burns was his boss
investigator, plenty of ugly tales were
told of ito the effect that its OPP
eratives broke into the offices of
anti-adminlstration senators and re-

other questionable activities.
That's a thing of the long past but
il isn't entirely forgotten.
The treasurys secret service never
has had any scandals, nor has the
postoffice departments, though the
postal inspectors have been accused
of some errors of judgment.
Nevertheless, lots of congressional
objections were raised not so long
ago. when somebody suggested the
desirability of consolidating the FBI
the treasury and postoffice investi-
ga1orial groups and the army and
navy information divisions. The COM
plant was that such setup would
be democratically dangerous, and the

This has been true ever since pas
sage of the U. c. T.. law by the Fed

an impression in some quarters that
Tar Heel teachers are barred from

competitive examination. That is to
say, you couldn't select Sherlock
Holmes on such a basis. Sherlock Tor
instance, might not be able to pass
in arithmetic or grammar. Yet may
be he could be wonderful snoOper.
Thus, Civil Service rules wouldn't
fit, in his case.
But there's one stunt for which
anybody ought to be qualified-or
otherwise The fingerprint division!
1t requires only first-class eyesight
and magnifying glass TO spot fin

so, anyway.
Accordingly, the FBIs fingerprint-
erS were civil service-ilized. Not the
rest of the bunch.
Now Chief Hoover objects even
to that modicum of standardization.
Hoover's Story.
Hoovers story is that the Civil
Service commission has "cert;fied"
to him, as finger printers, Com
munsts. criminals and miScellane-
GUS lunatics."
Chairman Robert Ramspeck Of the
representatives Civil Service COM
mittee is right on the job to accuse
J. Ed Hoover Of hostility to the whole
civil service principle, dating back
a generation and a half at the least
calculation.
Not to eXaggerate, Congressman
Ramspeck speaks Of Hoovers dope
as 'dastardly.'
It appears that the Civil Service
examiners have not. as Il matter OF
fact. questioned prospective finger
printers relative to their political and
economic view. They've taken it for
granted that they were honest, if
their recommendations looked all
right and they've assumed that they
were sane if they acted that way.
Their notion has been that the eS-
sentiai part of their eXaminatOrial
work was 10 satisfy themselves as TO
the candidates educational QualiIi-j
cations for the positions they aspircd
20.
And Congressman Ramspeck main
tains that the examiners selections
have been o. H., too.
His version is that G-Chef Hoov-
er hates the whole competitive Civil
Service principle--that he sizes up
successful cXaminee as a political,
economic, social, moral or mental

or dement's, but merely because the
