Martian Dialogues, No. 1
Ths character! In this dialogue art entirely Imaginary. If
they eeem to reaemble certain well known characters In the
national or local scene, the resemblance la entirely accidental.
The conversation la carried on entirely between, the Man from
Mars, sent to the earth, to report the presidential campaign for
his paper tha Martian Meteor, and the first man he meets, who
happens to be Just an average citizen, the former designated as
M. M. and the latter as A. O.
M. M.: What's all the noie about t
A. C. : Oh the local Liberty Leaguers are celebrating.
M. M.: What are they celebrating f
A. C: They're celebrating the last issue of the Literary
Digest. .
M. M. (startled) s Does that mean the election is over and
they have wont
A. 0.: Oh no, stranger, it's what we call a straw vote,
there 're a lot of 'em round the country, most of 'em the other
way, but this one puts these boys ahead, an' it doesn't take
much to set 'em goin', so they're celebrating.
M. M, (consulting notes) s Is that what you would term, in
the native vernacular, grasping at straws, or (again consulting
notes) erecting a straw man!
A. C. : Don't ask me stranger, can't make head or tail of it,
myself.
M. M. : What is so confusing!
A. C. : Well you see that fat boy with the red face and white
vest, bangin' the drum and leadin' the percessiont
M. M. : Yes, he appears to be enjoying himself tremendously.
A. C. s Well he was dead broke three or four years ago or
said he was. Didn't have a dime, had to close up all his houses
but one, couldn't find a tenant for his Empire Hate buildin',
banks was bustin' all round him and he was runnin' up and
down the street yellin', "save me, save me, or I'm ruined. Why
don't somebody do somethin' about it!"
M. M. i Yes, yes, go on.
A. C. : Well somebody did. This man Roosevelt' come in,
and he sure done somethin' about it. He fixed up the banks,
got business to goin', chased them crooks and second-story bums
out ot Wall Street, and put that fat boy with the white vest on
his feet again, look at him with his gold watch chain swingin'
spry as Fred Astairc.
SI. Jr. : Yes I sec, my good man, what is so confusing about
thatt Naturally he is delighted and celebrating his good
fortune.
A. C.i But that's jest it. He ain't!
M. M.: What do you mean he "ain't?"
A. C. : Well he ain't. Can't you hear the song he and them
boys is singin't Listen. (They listen.)
M. M. i Yes I hear, it sounds like "Down with Roosevelt and

Landon from Kansas,-T believe over your present chief execu

cclebnilion might be considered slightly premature, but we will
let Hint puss. Now if my notes are correct and your remarks
appear to confirm them, the Q. 0. P. was in control of affairs,
when that slightly npoplectio gentleman beating the bass drum,
was in sore financial straits, and wanted somebody to do some
thing about it. And somebody did something about it, namely
Roosevelt and his New Deal.

under the New. Deal he is enjoying a relatively high level of
material prosperity t" '

"And yet he is celebrating the fact that the party that did
this for him, that did SOMETHING that made the wheels

didn't, that did NOTHING. Is
"That's right."
"That is strange, very strange, particularly from what 1
have read of your great country. Mmh. I assume of course,
that this man Governor Landon, is also strongly opposed to
the New Deal, which his ardent supporters, here, I take 'it
consider so cockeyed, and the solo cause of all their present
troubles, whatever those troubles may be,!" '
A. C. : Not on your life, stranger, that's why I can't make
head or tail of itl Course I only know what I read in the
papers, but they say until he got this nomination this man
Landon was stronger 'an horseradish for the New Deal, backed
Roosevelt harder than any governor in the union, to the tune
of millions and millions of Now Deal money for his own state.
And if he's agin anything in the New Deal now, I can't make
out what it is Spcndin the taxpayers' money! Say, he's fur
federal relief, checks for the fanners bigger and better ones,
strong fur the CCC, pensions for old people, unemployment
insurance, no child labor, eraekin' down on the holding com
panies, soiikin' the power trust, an' I don't know what all.
If he's agin anything Roosevelt has done, then I can't make
out what it is, unless its this insurance of bank deposits he
was agin that a couple o' years ago, but I calculate he'll be
for it before 'lection is over. And yet listen to 'em yell "up
with Landon and down with the New Deal." I tell ye I can't
figger it. Canyon!
M. M.i If you, a native of this great country, can't figure

Now in my country, if wc were against what you call a deal,
new or old, wc would put it out. If we were for it, wc would
keep it in. Hut under no conceivable circumstances would we
consider putting out a man who gave us what we asked for,
and then for purely partisan purposes, claim he hadn't done it,
so we could put in a man who was pledged to try to do the

Comment
of the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
IN a speech at Carnegie hall, in New
York, Al Smith breaks his life
long ties with the Democratic party
and publicly endorses Governor Lan
don, the Republican nominee.
"I firmly believe," he says, 'that
the remedy for all the ills we are
suffering from today is the election
of Alfred M. Landon."
That Is pretty far for a lifelong
Democrat to go.
AL SMITH,- one-time Democratic
.governor of New York, one-time
Democratic candidate for president,
old-time pillar of the Democratic
party. Jumps the reservation and In
a publlo and widely-heralded speech
urges the election of the Republican
nominee.
Senator Carter Glass, who has dis
agreed with the New Deal and Its
Ideas (especially Its financial Ideas)
about as often as any man in public
life, REMAINS ON the reservation,
although aittlng practically silent In
hlateepee.
WHY this difference?
The answer Is plain. Al
Smith is out of politics. He Is look
ing for no further party favors. So
he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind.
But Senator Glass ISNT out of
politics. He Is a member of the over
whelmingly Democratic state of Vir
ginia. He isn't ready to QUIT being
senator from Virginia. And long ex
perience and observation tell him
plainly that the politician who leaves
his party is lost.
So he sits tight and saya nothing.
THERE are tiany conservative
Democrats in congress especial
ly among the older senators and rep
resentatives from the South, whose
leadership Is InherenMy and funda
mentally conservative.
These conservative Democrats from
the solid South, whose traditional
Institutions depend for their perpet
uation and submergence of the nu
merically large HAVE-NOT negro
vote, can't possibly see eye to eye
with the New Deal and Its reliance
upon making the have-nots class
conscious. But they go along with it, while
it is In power, because technically It
is the Democratic party and as long
as the Democratic party remains In
power THEY remain In power.
They HAVE to remain regular. Al
Smith doesn't.
WHAT Is the moral to all this?
Well, U It has a moral it ts
that you can't accept as gospel what
the politicians say because their for
tunes are bound up with fortunes of
the party and they have to go along
with It, no matter what It does or
what they THINK about what It does.
If Al Smith's opinions havo weight,
It la because he holds them so strong
ly that In order to express them he Is
willing to break with party tradition.
That gives to what he has to say
the ring of sincerity.

But now, under devaluation, there
are 31 francs in the dollar Instead
of 16. The French cost of the watch
becomes 31 francs plus the tariff.
Reduce the tariff 15 percent, and the
current French cost of the watch be
comes 35 francs.
Thus the net effect of devaluation
and a 15 percent tariff reduction Is
an Increase of five francs in the
French tariff protection on this hypo
thetical American dollar watch.
French manufecturers are said to
figure that devaluation gave them
generally the equivalent of an addi
tional protective ad valorem surtax
of 40 percent. This figure may be
too high, but, whatever' It is. It more
than offsets the encouragement to
immediate world trade Involved in
the tariff reductions.
These Icy figures do not, of course,
take Into consideration the purely
psychological effects of French ac
tion, which are really encouraging
For instance, the United States did
not even make a gesture toward tho
reduction of our tariff rates when
we devalued. The reason the French
are doing It is to put a ceiling on
domestic prices. They do not want
that competitive French-made dollar
watch, for Instance, to Increase too
much In price.
What France Is doing Is solely In
her own Interest. It Is not final
She may eventually devalue further
She will have trouble with her prices.
Also there is the problem of French
wages, which are still low.
' But, at least, her action has start
ed world people to thinking and talk
ing about such remote objectives as
stabilization, trade and economic
peace. In the minds of trade real
ists here, that Is something.
Those confidential U. 8. proposals
for a neutrality pact with Latin
America are really intended to be an
Invitation to the League of Nations
to go and do likewise In Europe.
That is what is in the mind of at
least one top official here.
The proposals are simple plans to
get Latin American nations to adopt
the present neutrality inw now In
effect here. One Important addition
