Argentine Deputy Commits Suicide
AsResu|t Of Graft Scandal While
Crowds Cheer Resigning President

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. % CUP)-
Victor j. Guillot, allegedly impli-
Gated in the Palomar land deal
which prompted the resignation of
President Roberto M. Ortiz, COM
mitted suicide today.
Guillot, a radical deputy repre-
senting the federal capital, Shot
himself to death.
Citizens rallied to the defense of
Ortiz and there was growing be-
lief that the legislative assembly,
onvoked for Saturday evening to
act on the resignation, might re-
ject it.
The senate committee investigat-
ing the land scandal had accused
Guillot of receiving bonds worth
$500 pesos in the Palomar deal.
Guillot shot himself at his home
after four days of testimony be-
fore the senate committee in which
he pleaded his innocence but said
that if he could not convince his
colleagues that the charges against
him were false he would take his
own life.

idential palace most of the night

BERLIN, Aug. 23 (UP)-The first
anniversary of the German Russo
aggression agreement. which
united Hitler's hands for his war
in Poland and the. west, found both
countries enjoying their profits to-
day with no outward signs of fric-
ton.
For Germany, the advantages of
the treaty have been: II Security
against attack from the rear while
stalking everything on a war in
western Europe % A flow of vital
raw materials from Russia which
broke gap in the British blockade.
Russia has gained vast new
sphere of interest" in Europe-a
strip of Finland. the Baltic states,
the eastern half of Poland and
BeSSarabia and Bukovina from Ru-
mania.
Problems have arisen over minor
tiles. border delineationS and trans
portation, and some remain to be
settled. but all observers now agree
that the two great nations, the
bitterest theological enemies for six
years. have demonstrated effective
ly that they can get along peaceably

Italian airplanes were reported
to have attacked British naval craft.
An emergency conference was held
by King George of Greece, Premier
John Metaxas and members of the
high army command at 230 a. m.

Reports that an ultimatum had
been received by Italy demanding
that Greece give up the British

Hitler Concerned
With Big Problem
Of Career, Belief

Continued from Page One
| ing promised his people domination
over the enemy, he must make his
gains to justify the sacrifices he
eXacts at home. If he fails. in any
major sense, to do so. that becomes
a defeat as influential on future
events as retreat in the field.
To sit tight and hold the enemy
from advancing is possible for a
defending nation without loss of
morale; but conqueror must push
ahead. To check the enemy is not
sufficient. He must overwhelm them
or he cannot explain his losses.
That is Hitler's present position.
1t is an old one in the careers of
world conquerors, and is the. risk
they all have to take. Hitler must
now be beginning to understand
this axiom of conquest. He cannot
await events. He must try to make
them obedient to his will
He has brought his war machine
face to face with the final enemy
But his air force has not found
the secret OF success; his total
blockade" cannot even close the
channel at its narrow 20-mile width
to British shipping; his long range
bombardments are answered in re-
turn. He has a fully equipped army
of perhaps 100000 men but they
are idle.
This great mechanical force is
locked within the European CONT
nent. but it seems to be Hitler's last
hope. To risk his army by trying
TO invade Britain would seem to
APPROACH too near to outright disas-
ter. Yet. it is hard to believe the
army itself will be content to remain
impassive awaiting the full revival
of British power.
1t is probable that Hitler now is
concerned with this ultimate prob
lem of his career.

and rejecting his resignation. The
Buenos Aires district is the most
important voting area in the coun-
try. The Tucuman province section
of the same party passed similar
resolutions. Socialists also decided
to support Ortiz at Saturdays ses-
sion.
Although no blame had been at
tached to Ortiz for the land deal
in which the government paid $228,-
900 more for a section of land than
it was worth, according to military
experts appraisal, Ortiz charged in
his resignation that the scandal
had been used by his opponents to
attack Argentina's whole demo-
cratic system.
The Ell Palomar land scandal
has been utilized to confront our
democratic system as if it were
necessary consequence of the sys-
tenn" he said. The desire for dis
honest profit is the result of human
imperfection and not the conse-
quence of any institutional con-
ditiOn."

The worlds fastest pursuit plane

it will fly 46O miles an hour with

AT the present rate of voluntary

needed to bring the regular army

He thought it would take a wear
to obtain by enlistment the second

He said he observed at army
maneuverS in New York that the
men were willing. but too many of
them were soft and 15-mile a day
march was a terrible ordeal. He
noted that certain European arm
les were able to march 80 miles

extremely important.
If the establishment of an en-
larged organized army is postpon-
I'd until EeXt spring. Mr.. Roosevelt
contended, it will throw the whole
defense program behind schedule,
because there already is ample
basic equipment.
He said there are many things
besides rifle drill in which men
must be trained. He mentioned
specifically the .'walky-talky',
portable radio set allowing mode

move. He said there is a lack of
men to operate these, as we'll as

Our Need Is Greater Civic Spirit

The writer attended the Christmas program at
the school Friday afternoon and found 1t inspiration
alone of the best programs of the nature we have
ever attended in our public school,
Besides the beautiful Christmas carols offered
by the splendidly trained school choruses there
presented Christmas pageant, why the Chimes
Rang Out" This outstanding because Of beau
tiful scenery, the work Of the we-traned actors
and the inspirational message of the story ITSELF
From all of those in attendance came profuse
praise of the presentation Of music and pageant
and we have heard Of who did not receive
inspiration from the efforts of the students
Many parents were in attendance. but there were
many vacant seats which should have been occupied
We lament the fact all Of us, that there not the
proper cooperation in the many things desire for
our city-yet we fail to properly cooperate in the
everyday happenings, possibly because we are too
busy. What we mean to say u.s. that If we can get
together in the smaller things offered in the COM
munity-there will be effort to cooperate in the
larger plans for betterment, which are everybodys
business.
Those who did not attend the program offered
in the public school auditorium Friday afternoon
missed something fine and beautiful and they failed
in their obligations to their children and their school
While we preach cooperation why not extend It to
all the efforts in community, not only to our
own selfish ideas. matter how good they may be-
That, then will be true cooperation and the begin
ming Of civic spirit that will allow obstacle to
defeat the plan Of community advancement.
