THE PU BLIC
DEFENDS GERMANY'S
POLISH INVASION

Editor, The Times: Regarding
a statement of T. Bolton. who.
in a letter of recent issue, said,
Il, for enc, shudder when l read
Of the millions of Poles taken
from their homes and made to
work in German factories; or
treatment accorded Jews"
For Mr.. Bottoms information
the Polish soldiers, taken prison.
ers last fall. were sent into Ger
many to relieve shortage of
labor. Their pay was two-thirds
that received by German labor.
The unemployed of Poland were
put to work in Germany where
jobs were available, and were
paid at prevailing rates. The
lower class of people in Poland
were in dire circumstances;
their homes were swarming with
lice. The German government
started a cleanup campaign. A
humble: Of delousing stations
were estab lished and home
fumigating crews were formed
to improve sanitary conditions.
During the winter months they
distributed food and clothing in
the larger cities.
The average Pole is more
satisfied under German rule
than that of his own country.
The former Polish government
maintained no relief institutions
Of any kind. II follows the
millions of Poles taken from
their homes" are much better
off under present circumstances.
Now word about the Jews.
Recent reports say the Jewish
and German relief organiza tons
are working together in COM
plete harmony. The Jews re-
ceive the same care as the Ger
mans. The only difference be-
tween the two is religion. Each
takes care of its own. This ap-
plies To Poland as well as Ger
many.
What of the Czecks? Many of
them are working in Germany
now. and up until April /. have
sent 80 million marks to their
folks IN Bohemia. Perhaps the
Poles will soon be able to fur
nish a similar story.
Our daily press brings us bad
news of Germany. but forgets
the good news. The latter we

Right or Wrong
About People
BY DONALD A. LAIRD
Phi. D., Sci. d.

Two people may not be able
to live as cheaply as one, but
the records for many years
show that they apparently live
more sanely than one.
Reports from nearly 600 hos
pitfalls for mental patients
throughout the u. S. show that
unmarried men and women are
most likely to develop a mental
disorder. This is nothing new,
but has been happening stead
lily year after year,
Being married may thus ap-
pear to be good way to ward
off a mental breakdown. Spe-
cialists attribute this partly to
the good mental hygiene of hav-
ing someone with whom to talk
over troubles, partly to family
life being more normal for
human beings than life in a
rooming house and partly to
the benefits of the feeling that
someone cares for us.
We must also recognize that
a proportion of unmarried peo-
pie are still single because they
have some budding peculiarities
which not only make it more
difficult for them to get mar
ried but also may be early
signs of a coming mental break
down.
Divorced people, for instance,
have a high incidence of mental
disorder; and in many divorce
cases, it is obvious to the ex-
pert that the divorce itself is
a symptom of mental instabil-
ity. In those cases, the divorce
does not cause the mental
trouble, but is consequence
of 1t.
There is one class of persons,
however. for whom marriage
is usually hazardous to mental
health. In this group fall those
women who enjoy women's COM
pany more than mems and
marry largely to be conven-
uonal or to get a home, and
those men who find mems COM
partnership more interesting
than women's.
Marriage in such instances
perhaps one person out of 40 or
50-is dangerous, according to
the psychiatrists. 1t may pre-
cipitate an acute mental panic
for which the best cure is to
give up marriage and live alone
and like it.
Many people have married for
worse reasons than to help keep
them sane. The trick is to be
sane enough at the outset to get
married.

Objective - Senator Wagner's
investigation Of the administra-
tons financial and monetary
program has been publicly hailed
as the most exhaustive and con-
structive study Of its kind ever
undertaken on Capitol Hill. It
is likened to the Pujo and Pecora
inquiries. But financial insiders
discern internal evidence that
1t is a smoke screen designed to
blot out the Townsend bill for
repeal of the Silver Purchase
act.
The Wagner committee (bank-
ing and currency made no start
on the investigation for a year
after 1t was authorized to X-ray
New Deal policies. But after
economists had thrown their in
fluence behind the Townsend
proposal. the committee sum-
moned Secretary Morgenthau to
the stand. and he tipped them
off on strategy for sidetracking
IL. He argued against any legis-
lative action until the committee
had concluded the inquiry it had
been directed to make. Not till
then did Chairman Wagner ex-
hibit any interest in that job.
Now the New York senator
has framed most curious ques-
tionnaire for the departments
dealing with these problems. 1t
consists of more than 1000
questions, insuring no action for
more than a year. 1t shows more
concern over minor purchases of
silver than over the huge inflow
of artificially priced gold. indi-
eating its main objective and
victim. But it will stave off a
reckoning on gold and silver
accumulations - dollar devalua-
tion--a pyramiding budget-un-
til after the election.

Month ago Mr.. Hull and his
Western European advisers con-

secretary of state asked about
the practical possibility of a
German attack on the Scandi-
navian Peninsula. With figures.

furnished evidence to assure him
that 1t was a fantastic thought.
It would-they insisted-dissi-
pate Hitler's forces, result in a

able the Allies to get at him
hand-to-hand. After listening
grimly. Mr.. Hull expressed dis
sent and predicted such a sally.
His prescience was all the more
remarkable because the incident
happened before Sumner Welles
submitted his report.
Likewise. Der Fuehrer's gen.
eral staff sought to dissuade him
from the attempt. voicing almost
the same arguments advanced at
Washington. 1t appears to have
been another of those instances
when. as President Roosevelt so
often says. the smart boys stood
so close TO the forest that they

militarists now explain their
blunder on the ground that Hit
Ter, even more than the Kaiser,
does not play soldiers according
to Hoyle-or even Frederick the
Great.
Preference--In his role as a
party elder. Herbert Hoover is
talking politics with important
and representative men of the
Republican party. The former
president scrupulouay seeks to
avoid any discussion of presi-
dental candidates = or to ex-
press a preference - but some
times his tongue slips.
In a recent discussion with an
old associate, he said: You
seem 10 like Tom Dewey" His
visitor replied: Mr.. President
Dewey is the first Republican
candidate since Teddy Roose-
welt who has made any appeal
to hoi polloi, and If we don't win
them back - the farmers. the
working man, the Negro. the

litical 1T" then countered:
But you seem more interest

because 50 many persons love

Mr.. Bolt isn't in favor OF a
referendum to determine when
a country should 60 to war.
In the past two or three years
there have been several nice
set-ups by which a propaganda
machine could have involved
this country in war. For
instance, If a bomb had been
even accidently dropped on a
hospital at the time of the
Panay incident in Japan. the
right sort of propaganda would
have caused fifty-one per cent
Of the people to vote the
United States into a war in
the Orient.
The same would have been
true in the case Of the inva-
sion of Finland, or the more
recent attacks on the Scandi-
navian countries. the speaker
said.
During the question hour at
the close of the lecture, the
speaker was asked II there was
a remedy for the unemployment
situation which he had said
was such serious menace. His
answer was: Production for
use instead of production for
profit"
