While Germans listened from compulsion which, was trobably in no case necessary, most Americans who had the Sanity to be near a radio tuned in gJSg their best to discern, through the tone of Hitler's remarks fa German, through the.hasty r and through theToar of the crowd that heard the speecn SiTh-Ju. in the mind of Hitler and in. the .minds of Germansand to estimate ICCI ttiin asethat Hitler is the dictator of Ger many and that the decisions of this one njan xo rol the fate of the world. Of course there have been hints that Hitler is merely the puppet of the German military machine, which could Overthrow him in a minute if he opposed its collective will, or could do the same if he should, while carrying out that happen to come a cropper which would make necessary a sacrificial "goat." , . Whether this be true or not, it was perhaps evident to most American listeners on Monday that whatever Hitlers control of .the situation might have been, was largely rathe, past tense J Here was a mob howling, for justice as it under stood justice from the one-sided picture it had seen. Here was, perhaps, the world's most colossal exampje of mass nys- Supposing that Hitler was a man of calm perception, who had pursued his course in the mistaken belief that he could take a slice of Czechoslovakia with little trouble or bloodshed, but had now discovered his error. Could he admit that error, could he retreat from his position, could he tell the mob that he had failed? The answer is that he could not and remain the "fuehrer." , , . I ' . So it becomes clear, if it was not already clear, that even a dictator is not free, but is subject to compulsions from with out. There was a time, some weeks ago, when he was free to make this choice, unless it had been dictated by those super dictators already mentioned. But the choice was made, and Hitler was no more able to unmake it on Monday than the most obscure nazi in the frenzied mob. 'i ' " x. As for actually fathoming the mind of a dictator, the average man must find it impossible. He couldn't imagine himself a dictator; he couldn't imagine himself wanting to be a dictator. Some are calling Hitler a madman and others are calling him a super-man, but in either case his mind is noth ing like that of the average man. r The average man could not take the responsibility for , millions of deaths, nor for the wholly possible ruin of civiliz ation itself. - . . !. , . f.. i n1i?n Vin mind AT HlTlpr T I IS UUIV IlCKallVCiv ilia v w c auaij t.v urc ..... .. . . . . . . r , i - 11- i.L.1 nn riifrinifr tr pctflh isn. sftmp Va W W wn(k'w m-w. there. There is no sense of responsibility to God or man, there is no real sense of justice, no open-mindedness or receptive ness to others' ideas. And, perhaps most fatal lack of all, there is no sense of humor. j Farm Program Failure Suspicion has been expressed Tecently that one purpose of the .administration's spectacular purge program, now es tablished as a 90 per cent failure, was to divert attention from the 100 per cent failure of another administration ven ture the farm program. !. In a nutshell, the situation is that the present index of grain prices is 77. When President Roosevelt announced in October, 1933, that he planned to raise farm prices by legis lation, the index figure was 78. i i Wheat, corn and cotton were the crops which the farm program sought specifically to bolster; and while they have attained no visible measure of relief, the divisions of agri culture which were not included are also depressed by low prices, That condition is being felt seriously here in the Wil lamette valley. The Dlain truth is that farmer must involve an attempt laws of supply and demand, and ipulated. Of the three things that can help agriculture, gov eminent can have a direct share in only one; the develop ments of markets abroad. As kets at home, that can come only with business improvement, toward which government can help indirectly by removing obstacles to recovery, and by technological development of new uses for agricultural products, which is being done not by new deal asrencies but by those long established.

Among the former was the courageous Rus sell himself, killed by a piece of shell that pissed through his heart, -although he bad previously been struck by a bullet in the left breast, which wound, from its na ture, must hare proved mortal, yet of which he had not spoken. "Russell's death oppressed us all with sadness, and me partic ularly. In the early days of my army Life he was my captain and friend, and I was deeply Indebted to him. not rrxly for sc-d advice and good example, but for the inestimable service he had just performed, and sealed with his life, so it may be inferred how keenly I felt his loss." W S , Regular readers of this column know of the David and Jonathan, Damon and Pythias like character of the attachment of the two men, Capt. D. A. Russell and 2nd Lieu . P. ,H. Sheridan, in Oregon, with headquarters at old Fort Yam hill, and Generals Sheridan and Russell, in the Civil war; the high point of their careers together ht victorious battle of the Opequon, turning point toward the reelec tion of Abraham Lincoln and the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. Russell was the elder by 10 years, the two born in near places, Sheridan at Albany, Russell at Salem, New York; both West Point graduates, Russell in 1845, Sheridan in 1851. During their services in Oregon,' they bought land equities together, farmed it. were the first to use irriga,ti- n water on a considerable scale west of . the Cascades. Their lives and se: ices together make a beautiful human interest story; a true story. Only 30 days flew by between Sept. 19, 1864. the day the pivotal battle of the Opequon was fought, and October 19. 1864, when the more colorful and storied scenes of the battle of Cedar Creek were enacted. The battles ot Fisher's Hill and Tom's Brook had followed, and Sheridan was forming plans to put the final finish upon the ac tivities in the Shenandoah valley. Virginia, of Jubal A. Early, lead ing Confederate general, who, though beaten three times within 16 days, was still trying to stage a come-back. There was a differ ence in plans as to the next move. between Sheridan in the field and some swivel chair function aries at Washington fighting battles on paper. S So Sheridan went to Washing ton to argue his views, and, while he was absent, the news having "leaked" in some way to Early, the last named gentleman at tempted his come-back, while Sheridan wks at Winchester, Vir ginia, on his way back to his camp and! Early's forces made a very ambitious beginning of it in fact, had a considerable portion of Sheridan's forces licked and on the run. i . Then sped the news to the gen eral at Winchester, and followed, Oct. 19. 1864, the famous "Sher idan's Ride," on his horse Rienzi, made immortal by the poem of Thomas Buchanan Read. S In his Memoirs, Sheridan wrote, page 69, volume 2, that when a messenger had come to his hotel room at Winchester telling of hearing firing in the direction of Cedar creek: " 'It's all right; Grover has gone out this morning to make a reconnoissance, and he is merely feeling the enemy.' " A little lat er, after he was up and dressed, the messenger (picket officer) came back, and reported contin ued, noise of gunfire. Sheridan wrote: " 'I still inferred' that the cannonading was caused by G ro ver's division bansing away at the enemy simply to find out what he was up to.' " But Sheridan hurried his break fast, mounted his horse and was on his way at 8:30 to 9, and in a little while he began to see "the appalling spectacle ; of a panic stricken army," the army his own. He arrived on the field at 10, and by 12 had heartened and reor ganized the sections of his forces wmcn naa run away, and was ready to advance. The reader wiU be interested to know, if not already aware of the fact, that two future .presidents were with Sheridan's forces that fateful day, Col. Rutherford B. Hayes and Major William Mc- Kinley. Major McKlnley helped vigorously to spread the glad news of the presence of Sheridan, ready fori an advance. Hayes had not become panic stricken was ready to go forward. Generals Crook and i Wright, who had fought Indians In Ore gon, were standing their ground. ready for the word; to go for wara. uenerai enster was more ; man ready and anxious. In a minutes, wrote Sheridan, "M. Wb0ie line as far as the eye could see was now" driving everything before it. - "As I passed along behind the advancing troops, first General Grover, and then Colonel Mack enzie, rode up to welcome me. Both were severely, wounded, and I told them to leave the field, BUT THEY IMPLORED PER MISSION TO REMAIN TILL SUCCESS WAS CERTAIN. When the newt of the victory was re- """"""ESMEraBPiiEaaES LAST TIMES I TODAY rm I ' Totalitarian Propaganda On the date of July 27 I re ceived from a Berlin Informer in formation aa to the German plan for the conquest of Czechoslova kia. It waa pre sented as fol lows: "Calm has been maintained since May 21 in order to reassure Europe and to enable comnle- ' Tfmmm tIon of fortifica tions In the west, on which 100, 000 workers are now engaged. The Runciman mission, it Is hoped, will convince .the English that the Czechs alone are guilty of making trouble, and it Is hoped that-the English will become dis gusted with them. Between the 25th of August anL the 15th of September Germany steps out. The Sudetens will stage a rebel lion and German 'volunteers' will rush in to prevent their 'perse cution.' England will wash her hands: France, baffled by the hes itancy of England and also by the new fortifications on the Rhine, will hesitate. In the mean while, the Sudeten territory will be purged of Czechs." A pact of non aggression will be offered by Ber lin to Prague,, including perhaps a guarantee of their new frontier and a customs union that will make the whole country econom ically a part of Germany. There will be no war in sight if France does not interfere. i This plan would have marched forward according to schedule, ex cept for a few factors. ; One of the most important of these factors was the foreign cor respondents in Prague. To car ry out this plan required a vast campaign of lying about the real conditions in Czechoslovakia and in the Sudeten areas. This cam paign was organized in Berlin on a scale such as the world did not see in the great war. The whole world was bombarded by the Ger man radio stations with atrocity stories, accusations that Czecho slovakia was merely an outpost of Moscow and a communist state; that Germans were being murder ed by Czechs, that it was impos sible for the Czechoslovak state to maintain order. And the propaganda in Eng lish has shown some restraint as compared with the propaganda broadcast by the German radio stations to their own citizens. It has passed every bound, not only of truth, but of verbal decency. ; The greatest protection - that the world has had against this barrage, has been the independ ent newspaper correspondents in Prague and Berlin. Working un der superhuman difficulties they have done, all of them together, one of the most superb reporting jobs : in history. And they have helped to make that history. Because of them the German propaganda has exploded with the obnoxious hiss of a bomb dropped into water. There is a poetic justice in this. If Germany had had for five years an independent press and even the slightest measure of free journalism, her propaganda today would be ten thousand times more effective. The free press in the course of time would also be carried away by the war fever ;and national Interests, I have no j doubt. But when the world knows in advance that every word that one hears is made to order; that to offer any criticism whatsoever, or to report any facts not in com plete harmony with the propagan da office, will get one into con centration camp, everything that the Germans say is immediately ceived, Grant directed a salute of 100 guns to be fired -at. Peters burg, and the president at once thanked the army in an auto graph letter." The letter ot Ab raham Lincoln to Sheridan read: mm "With great pleasure I tender to you and your brave army the thanks of the nation, and my own personal admiration and gratitudte, for the month's opera tion, in the Shenondoah valley; and' especially for the splendid work of October 19, 1864." The forces of General Early never made another stand of consequence. The Shenandoah val ley, , from the day of "Sheridan's Ride," and the battle of Cedar Creek, was safe for the Union side, and, by the same lgn, Wash ington, the nation's capital, was safe for the first time since the opening of the war. V . Can any history minded person who reads this column add to the list of, 4 6 mem who fought and handled Indians In the Oregon country and thereby aided in qualifying themselves, in the Civ il war, to save the American Un ion and the stronghold ot demo cracy la the world? Not counting Calif oronia. If California were included, this columnist a list' of 50 would .be more than reached now. BLOCKADE THE PICTURE That Has Caused More COMMENT and CONTROVERSY than any PICTURE OF THE DECADE - Madeleine Carroll-Henry Fonda 1 2nd Hit I STUART ERWTN N ; "Smalltown Boy v discredited. Already we are see ing it proved that totalitarianism in the field of journalism la not even efficient, r . Efficient propaganda requires that some alight attention and consideration should be given to truth. The Lie, whose . power in this world should not be underrated,- nevertheless has to be al loyed with, some modicum ot truth, with some few grains of "decent respect for the opinion of mankind," if It is to reach its full effectiveness even aa a Lie. It would seem that what gives tenac ity and hardness to the weapon of propaganda is precisely that little alloy of truth that goes into it. ; Now, Hitler doesn't believe this and never has. He , believes that a most effective weapon can be forged out ot the 100 per cent iron ore ot the pure and unadul terated Lie. i These last days I have been reading again that most illumi nating guidebook, "Mein Kampf." I say "guidebook" because it one reads and understands it thor oughly one has the complete key to Hitler's mind and Hitler's pol icy which is probably one rea son why his government has al ways opposed its translation in full into any other language but his own. The English and American edi tions contain hardly more than a third of the book. In it he has a chapter on war propaganda in which he seriously criticizes the propaganda of the Kaiser's Reich, on the ground that it was much too "scientific" for mass con sumption. ' "The war propaganda - of the English and Americans was psy chologically correct," he says. 'fFor it represented the Germans as ; Huns- and barbarians, and therefore prepared the ordinary soldier for the worst, and thus spared him disappointment." : Actually this kind of propagan da, So admired by Mr. Hitler and now being put into practice by Dr. Goebbels in a manner that out-Herods Herod, was not at all effective in the long run, because when American and British sol diers met the German' Huns and barbarians they found that they were very much like themselves, and 'like themselves longing for only one thing, a halfway decent, orderly, and comfortable world In which to live. The propaganda of the Lie thus provoked, eventually, a terrific revulsion of feeling. Hitler's- theory of propaganda is, however, based upon his con ception of the masses as being largely moronic. He says: - "The broad masses of the peo ple do not consist of diplomats or even law students, no, not even of intelligent people capable of judgment, but of human creatures given to wavering, uncertainty, and doubt. The moment one's own" propaganda concedes that the other side has even a shade of right, the ground is laid for doubt about the righteousness of one's own cause." And he says, as illustration: "It was fundamentally false to discuss the war guilt on the basis that Germany was not alone re sponsible for the outbreak of the catastrophe! It would have been correct to have put the entire blame wholly upon our opponents, even If this were not in harmony with the real facts." : This column has a higher re spect for the capacity ot judgment of the ordinary Individual. ! But just as in the World war, where the advance of infantry was preceded by a barrage, so today the technique of destroying de mocracy is first to throw down a barrage of doubt about the po litical and economic Institutions of democracy. t'The first invasion of every country for purposes of conquest or revolution or both for today they go hand In hand is an in vasion by propaganda. This is then followed by organizing groups within each country to back up this propaganda by po litical pressure. The third phase of this process is political or mili tary annexation. That is the end of the process. The beginning is propaganda. Inasmuch as the German propa ganda at present is concentrated on asserting that Czechoslovakia is a Bolshevik nation ruled by Jews, the following facts should be stated not in the interest of the Czechoslovak cause, but in the Interest of truth: The Jews are 2.4 per cent of .the population of Czechoslovakia. They are distributed among the members ot every political party except the Henleinists, from which -they are barred.
