GERMANY AND FASCISM The decline of Fascism in Germany has been as sudden as its rise. The Hitlerites scored an astounding victory in the Reichstag election last September and they are now suf fering defeats no less surprising. What little power was .left to. them was lost when Wilhelm Frick, pioneer fascist in Germany, was voted out of his position as minister of cul ture and the interior for the province of Thuringia. German Fascism can reap no encouragement from the defeat of the man who, prior to last September, was the best known fascist figure in the nation. The rise and fall of Fascism in Germany are not difficult to explain. ' The great fascist poll of last year was in con siderable measure due to economic discontent. Race hatred preached by Frick and Hitler appealed to the unhappy and illiterate peasant masses seeking an outlet, and to 'unpopular regimes and dynasties seeking a scapegoat. ' i But, like most opportunists and mountebanks, they carried it a little too far. The people were quick to discover that their economic ills were a part of a world condition beyond remedy by the republican government, and that the Hitler Frick incitements were removing Germany from the list of nations of high culture. Hitler and Frick were merely imitating the great Ameri can demagogue who gets into public office by creating false issues, stirring up class hatreds, dividing the country against itself, and making campaign promises he. cannot and does not intend to fulfill. And like their prototypes in the U. S. A., they got away with it for a time. " But you can't fool all the people all the time." , v Governor Not To Remove Any From Education Board ' - Y EUGENE, Ore., April 29 In leiepnone conversation with the Register-Guard.

SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT An important part of any permanent solution of the great industrial problem is the prevention of seasonal unemploy ment which so seriously aggravates periods of depression;' great gain will have been made when seasonal peaks and valleys can be evened into a more nearly continuous pro duction. This is one of the problems before the committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, appointed to consider this, together with the creation of an industrial reserve, as the best precaution against depression of major proportions, . The personnel of this committe commands public confi dence. Its members are all practicall industrialists and fin anciers who are just as eager as the jobless to end these re current lean years, for all lose heavily and many are ruined in every depression. President Hoover's early conferences on the unemploy ment situation, when the nation was confronted with the present emergency, paved the way for the studies of this committee. The one is taking up the task where the other left off, without loss of effort or wasteful back-tracking. It is significant that the transition has been made without conflict of opinion.

In Washington Bv Herbert Ptummrr WASHINGTON Anxious hours were spent by the occupants of that brown tttone mansion high atop a hill on Fifteenth street overlooking Meri dian Park In the capital following the disastrous earthquake In Nicara gua. Thero Is housed Nicaragua's lega tion to the United -States, presided over by the tall, must ached Juan B. Sacasa, minister. The atmosphere was tense during receipt of the news of the almost completo destruction of the capital. Managua. The minister, known for his affability and pleasant mien, moved about with an air of dejection. Dr. Carazo, counselor or the legation and with Bacasa the only Nicaraguai. diplomats In Wnshlngton went about the spacious rooms gloomily. "Mr. Ministers." a visitor asked, "how about 7" 'Please." replied the worried diplo mat, "1 would like nothing better than to talk to you. But ' He shrugged his shoulders. "There are so many things 1 must do." He disappeared into his office and only faint rumblings of conversation ln Spanish could be hear within. POITl.AR MIMSTKIt Dr. Sncasa is popular among those with whom he comes In contact in Washington. He came here In I9ii) after a stormy and adventurous. career In his country. He was vice president of Nicaragua when tne government was over' thrown. He fled from Managua and set up n liberal government at Puer to Cabczas shortly after Adolfo Diais, a conservative had been named presi dent by congress in ivia. The Diaz government wos recog nized by the United States. Sacatt's government gained recognition from Mexico. Peace between the two factions was established. HKlMUiSKVTS MONTADA Cleneral Moncada. now president of i Nicaragua, was commander-in-chief of the Sucnsa forces which fought against the Diaz government. And it Is as Moncada 's personal representa tive Cacasa works in Washington. He was greatly disturbed when newspapers began printing pictures of Managua pictures that were as sembled hastily from files of the Pan American Union in the capital. "These are not scenes of the pres ent day Managua at all," said the minister in dismay. "Look, the ox curt is more in evi dence than the automobile. People will get the wrong impression."
