Nietzsche in Practice
Cincinnati Enquirer)


Were Nietzsche alive he would rejoice to see
that his ideas no longer shadowy distractions
but had become realities.
He wrote: 1.-The splendid blond beast on the
prowl looking for blood and carnage That is pre-
cisely what the splendid blond beast did in Czecho-
slovakia and in Poland. He liked calling the Ger
mans blond beasts, for he said they were race
of conquerors and masters" Evidently with pro-
phetic eye he saw the coming of Hitler At least
this passage would seem to indicate it. He who
knows how to command he whom nature has made
master he who is mighty in his deed and motions
what does he about treahes?" He reviled
respect for contracts and pledges 1.-The weapon
of weakings" ITO be hard, to be ruthless and thus
to rule" was his doctrine
The Nazis have put Nietzsche into practice He
glorfied the lust for power and preached that bru
tally and cruelty were the proper weapons for the
strong.
If you, gentle reader, do not to read Met
zsche you easily learn his philosophy. All that
is necessary is to know it is the exact opposite of
what was taught by the greatest Teacher the world
has ever known He who said that should love
our neigbors as ourself and that should do unto
others as we would have them do unto us.
We cannot, however, believe that the whole
German nation has been led astray. There must be
among them the saving grace of a great many who
look to Jesus Christ rather than to Netzsche, that
dreadful apostle of blood and iron.

Six to One for Joe!
philadelphia Record


Every time somebody calls the American Student
Union "Communistic' officials of the ASH. resent
the charge with indignation
Communist? Perish the thought.
Yet last week the American Student Union
adopted resolutions denouncing Britain, France and
Germany for engaging in an 'imperiast war
and then rejected, by the huge vote of 322 to 49,
an amendment denouncing Russia for its invasion
of Finland.
WE'LL If that isn't the giveaway, don't know
what it is.
Certainly the vote in defense of the Soviet
Union proves that the Communists dominate the
organization of the American Student Union even
if they do not constitute majority of its member
ship.
In fairness, it should be remembered that Jo-
seph Lash, executive director of the ASH, and
Molly Yard, national chairman, both urged passage
of the amendment condemning Russia But they
were overruled. The Reds-or fellow travellers
they're alike to us-Were in the saddle.
What effect this vote will have on the rank anc
file of the ASU. don't know. But if it doesn't
lead to a great drive to throw the Reds out of con-
troll then the ASH. must resign itself to forma
recognition as a Communist front organization
A 1922 to 40 vote for Russia can't be construed
any other way.

VACATIONS DAILY

Need vacation? Certainly And not next
month or next summer-but nowl What's more you
don't need a vacation that the boss gives you but
one that you take yourself Everyone ought to have
a vacation every day, and with planning and wit
he put into short intervals all the essentials OF
a protracted holiday. So reasons DR.. William Moul-
ton Marston distinguished psychologist, in the
rent Rotaran Magazine.
Too many of us dwell in the grip of routine and
preoccupation Dr. Marston admonishes but with a
bit of scheming we can change the scene, the pace
and the habit of our daily lives without breaking
appointments being late, loafing Mere cessation
Of work and aimless relaxation aren't enough, the
author says because vacations must include seeing
faces, getting points of view doing diff
ferent and exciting Understanding that
thing which puts sparkle back in eyes, spring back
into sagging arches.
The lunch hour provides vacation opportunities
for walk glimpses of surroundings, and ex-
change of ideas with truck drivers and college stu
dents in 'beaneries" and cafeteras or a few min
utes to catch the drama of the street with camera
holds DR.. Marston. Even the visits of persons who
interrupt your busiest working hours be vaca-
lions if an interesting exchange of views replaces
a bored resistance to the other fellows ideas.
few minutes at hobby for many folks will sweep
aside the accumulated debris of other peoples de-
mands which clutter up their minds" in the tyranny
of fixed schedules, he declares
"Floundering along in a deep rut with your
vision dimmed by other peoples dust will get
you anywhere" the author asserts. What I am
talking about is the independence to take time off
whenever you cease to function properly; the
age your spirit and not be browbeaten by
routine. daily vacation is your best in
because it guarantees the preservation of
your inner drive"
Sounds good to us

LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA

Good news for Alaska municipalities came from
Washington this week in the announcement one of
the first moves of the Senate was to pass bill au-
thorizng cities and towns in the Territory to re-
finance outstanding bonds. The House had already
passed the measure.
To Juneau this will mean that $134000 in six
percent interest bonds be called in and ressued
as four percent bonds. This two percent saving will
amount annually to $1,000 very nice sum to be
used for further civic improvement or retirement of
outstanding bond issues.
The Juneau six percent obligations consist 100000
of school bonds and $4,000 of sewer bonds When
they were issued six percent was the going rate
Times have changed and such bonds at four percent
are now in demand by investors.
For achieving this means of reducing interest
charges Delegate Anthony j. Dimond, author OF
the bill and the Juneau City officials deserve credit
They are saving your money.
