Little Man, - What Now! fHE incredible state of affairs in the world today is graph ically illustrated by this patent fact, The fate of the world at the present moment rests upon the caprice of one man. ; That one man is an ex paper-hanger and confirmed neu rotic one Adolph Hitler. The decision of war or peace in Europe rests with him, and with no one else. If anyone could see precisely what is in Der Jf'enhrer's head (if anything) at the present moment, the future would be plain. IS THIS annual mobilization merely a smoke screen, behind which Germany expects to strike southeast and crush Czechoslovakia! Or is it the regular test of the German army and nothing more, which Hitler will use for any diplomatic advantage he can gain, but which he has no intention of utilizing, to get the jump on his enemies and start another European wart Who can sayt No one but Hitler. What a responsibility to rest on the shoulders of such a man! " ' BUT why caprice t WON'T Germany's dictator make the decision, after con sidering all the facts, as any other absolute ruler would dot Not if our information is correct, Herr Hitler doesn't reason, he feels j he doesn't issue orr1 irs in the accepted sense of the term, he goes into communion with himself and comes forth with a vision. That was the case with the occupation of the Rhineland, also with the march into Vienna. The general staff of the. army, vigorously opposed the first coup, and was so certain it would meet with armed resistance that orders were issued to retreat, when the first volley was fired. But Hitler know better, or thought he did. And he was right. There was no armed resistance and there was no war. Germany got what it was after. IT WAS the same with the Austrian Auschluss. The army expected resistance and was prepared for it. Der Feuhrer in this instunco was a bit skeptical himself, according to report, and delayed his triumphal entry for 8 or 10 hours, but once more, demonstrated he not only had visions but sound ones. Once more he played his hunch, and won. SO "LITTLE MAN, WHAT NOW1" WHAT the world would give for the CORRECT answer to that question. But there is no answer. Probably the ex-Austrian corporal himself hasn't one yet but is waiting for his inner self to speak, waiting for the psychic urgo to become well defined and clear. And upon that answer, that hunch, will depend the fate of millions of lives, untold treasure, literally the course of the worldi not only for this year or next but for a generation, perhops several of them, Write your own answer to that one, we have none I Who Is Loony Now? WE SOMETIMES wonder if anyone KNOWS anything. There are so many different views, so many conflicting opinions, so many so-called authorities on everything, and so few that agree. With the world in its present state of flux and confusion, it would be such a relief, if one could say: "Well thia and that are TRUE. There may be doubt about other thlnga but not about these two. They are as certain, as that you breathe or that the aun shines, or the rain falla. Vou can build on them., for they are rocka of eternal fact, and not the sands of conjecture or mere opinion, which one of these daya may shift or entirely disappear." Yes, what a relief it would be! But never before, at least in the writer's memory, have there been so few facts, so little one could accept as eternally and unalterably true, from which to proceed in the unending search for a better and more dcsireable order. For example. We didn't suppose ANYONE whose opiniou was of any value, doubted that this country sinco 1929 had been going through a business depression, in fact one of the most serious dislocations of the economic structuro in world history. There have been many differences of opinion as to the exact cause or onuses, of course, but until we happened to glance over the September Readers Digest last night, we had no idea ANYONE bcliovod nothing of the kind had OCCURRED. But Mr. Roy Helton, who apparently is a teacher and writer, of some standing, is of this opinion according to an article of his printed in a recent Harpers. In hin view them hns been no crash, no collapse of the profit system, us far as tho United States is concerned. This country has merely come of age. IN OTHER words we have not been suffering from hardening of the capitalistic arteries at all but merely from growing pains. What has been called a depression has been only the inevitable change from an adolescent to a mature civilization. SO WHAT do we need mostt NOT more motor ears, frig idnries, radio sets, or what have you. Not more mechanical production to give jibs to idle men. Not at all. All we need is a different point of view. Tho, great boom is over. The industrial age has passed the cultural age is about to dawn. "In fact what we have been waiting for is here a maturely growing civilization that has mastered nature and can now set about using that mastery for its own happiness. But if we insist that lmvliiiiiionl expansion is still our only reason for being here on this lucky spot, every good now within our grasp may be destroyed by our childish folly." Of course that is all very cheering, and we hope it is true. Hut how can anyone KNOW! If Mr. Hilton is right then every economist and stiitesmiin in this country and abroad is wrong. And if the economists and statesmen are right, then Mr. Hilton is just another cook-eyed crank, who will eventually be cutting out paper dolls in some padded cell. Instead of clarifying t li p situation an article like this merely confuses it. increases the fours of the averace lavmcn, that when one conies ilmvn In brass tacks, no one on this cra.v planet, at the present willing, KNOWS an) thing.

NEED A GBNTLKM "Please allow me to thank you, writes a southern reader, for tho article you published about July 1, 1936, on proa- tat 1 o obstruc tion." (Probably one on "Preven tion of Profit a 1 1 s m" relea&ea July. 8. 1630. from which I quote briefly: The Introduc tion of electto Burgery In thU field has met with the same blind Intolerance aa did diathermy extirpation of ton sils and ambulant (Injection, treat ment of hernia. But m spite of the hypothetical objections raised by Vhe old time fcurweons the modern method has established Itself on a firm footing. No old man today need become a nuisance to himself and to others by reason of thia wretched bladder trouble. Here Is relief for him, gentle, safe, efficient, practically painless, and without the necessity of prolonged confinement In a piti fully helpless state. "I was, in bad condition and the doctors here never mentioned the method you spoke of, only urged the open operation. After reading your article I went to a doctor In (the next state) In whom 1 had confi dence. After an examination he told me surgery was very necessary. I then Asked him about the method you de scribed and he recommended It high ly. He also recommended a specialist In my own state who was one of the best. I went at once to Dr. . . , (the specialist) who did the transurethral prostatic resection as you described, and In 10 days I was ready to come home and have not had a minute's troublo since. It waa a revelation to me as I had never before heard of the new method, and In the past four years have had three friends to pass away following the open operation and two others who had a long hard pull to recover" (W. T. A.) In 5000 cases the average d ura tlon of hospital confinement where the modern method, was employed was less than one week. The length of time the martyr to old-fashioned surgery has to remain in bed undei distressing conditions averages three weeks. The old open operation (perineal or suprapubic or both routes com bined) had a high mortality rate from 18 to 20 percent. That risk was a formidable one for the o'd gentleman to take, but there were glanta In those days and then as always a gentlemen could not flinch In tho face of a one to five chance. Electro-iurglcnl removal of only the obstructing portion of the prostate through the natural channel has a mortality rate of two percent a risk no greater than that taken by the Man About Manhattan By UEOKOfc IICKKH NEW ORLEANS Roark Bradford lives In a picturesque but hard to find studio-apartment in the heart of the Old French Quarter. The telephone direc tory lists his ad dress as 710 Tou louse street, but there Is no house at this number. There Is only a narrow gate, blocking a dim. retreating pass ageway. This gate Is always locked, but there Is a bell and if you ring It a Negro fetORGE TuCktR girl from the sugarcane country will thrust her head out of a window far back in the passageway and Inquire who Is there. And If you toll her you have an appointment with Roark Brad ford she win push another button, opening the gate and admitting you to the passageway. You must not be surprised at anything In New Orleans, of corns, but you can not help an exclama tion of surprise when you come to the end of this passageway. It opens on a courtyard, or patio, where banana trees are growing and al'heaa are blooming, and there Is a lov. -tain., and the courtyard is littered with boxing gloves, a bow and ar row, a rooking horse, a couple of cap pistols, and similar baggage necessary to the happiness or a six -year-old growing boy. This boy Is Roark s young son and "We think he's a pretty smart kid." Bradford grins, padding out into the court, wearing careless slacks, a white shirt open at the throat, smoking a cigarette. So this is Roatk Bradford, tv west Trnncssean come to New Or leans, ex-newspsper reporter, author of "Old Man Adam and His Chlllun. which Marc Connelly made Into "Green Pastures.

In the developing stage of the new method, I was glad to name urologists here and there who are skilled in the method, when correspondents asked for such infor mation.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS QINCE the primary election in Idaho a couple of weeks ago. there has been a lot of talk about political morality some of It coming from high places and getting 'big headlines. k After listening to all this talk, thia writer la moved to ask a question: "What IS political morality, any way?" npHIS seems to be the only satis- factory answer: Political morality la ilk the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow thrllllngly beautiful to contemplate, but NEVER ACTUAIJ-Y FOUND In Its pure state. npHE trouble with political morality la that It Is always getting mixed up with whether or not our aid? wins. Take the case of Senator Pope as an example. ... If the wicked Republicans who a-s alleged to have Invaded the Demo cratic primary over In Idaho had voted FOR SENATOR POPE, it would havo been an outstandingly moral deed from the New Deal standpoint, and they would have been warmly praised by the great leader. But apparently they voted for Pope's opponent and so It happened that political r-orallty got another sickening kick in he face. rxOWN In Georgia, the New Deal is engaged rather noisily In purging Senator George, who has voted against some of the things the Nw Deal wants such as destruction of the Independence of the supremo court. If you are perfectly sure that yu are Snow White and that your popon ents are Wicked Queens, you OUOH1 to purge them. It really becomes a matter of principle to do so. And the New Deal la perfectly sure that It is Snow White. OUT a principle is a PRINCIPLE. And Senator Bennett Clark, of Missouri, has stuck knives between the ribs of more things the New Deal wants than Senator George of Georgia ever thought of doing. As a matter of principle (political morality, if you choose to put It that way) Senator Clark certainly OUGHT to have been purged also. 117HY wasn't he? " Well, the great moralists of the New Deal looked the Missouri situa tion over and sized it up something like thia: "This fellow Clark Is a snake In the grass, and by rights 'he ought to be purged, and PURGED PLENTY. But the dickens of it is that he's stronger than horse radish with the voters of Missouri, and If we start out to purge him we'll get the licking of our lives. We CAN'T AFFORD that kind of a licking, be cause our story Is that the voters are ALWAYS WITH US and that only economic royalists oppose us.' So they pulled In their horns and kept still about Clark. That is r-o say, they sacrificed political morality on the altar of political expediency nnHArs the trouble with thia poit- tlcal morality the headlines have been thundering about for a week. It gets It In the neck so often when political expediency somes along. This writer knows he ought to be all steamed up about political moral ity, but just can't seem to get that way.

And the people were beginning to believe Cotton Ed's loud protestations that he was an "80 per cent New Dealer." Then the president arrived In tho ?almetto state, fresh from mopplo'j up Barnesvllle, Georgia, with hla dear old friend Walter George. He did not come out openly against Cotton Ed. But at the urging of Governor John ston, he remarked cuttingly that ht didn't bellevs "any family or any man In this stats can live on SO cents a day." Cotton Ed, who had hitherto Ignored this form of attack, wss so upset that he could not trust himself even to speak to his advisers for half an hour thereafter. Fortunately for Cotton Ed. his hor rified henchmen went to the congres sional record to learn precisely what he hsd aald In the wage-hours de bate. They found the following "In other words, If South Carollnn living conditions are so kindly that It takes only SO cents a day, for Illustration, to enable one to live comfortably and reasonably, and In the New . England states It tskes $1.50 a dsy to buy the necessary coal and have windows In the houses so constructed the people will not suffer, then the wage In South Carolina ahall be raised to 1.50." Now, as It happens, your corres pondenta were In the senate chamber when Cotton Ed uttered those Im moral, If somewhat rambling words The senators grammar was Indi vidualistic, but there was no doubt then aa to his meaning. He meant that It was an outrage to force South Carolina employera to pay an un necessary New England wage. But that did not trouble Cotton Ed or his henchmen. They announced loudly that what Cotton ' Ed had meant waa simply that the "wage In South Carolina ahall be raised to $1.60." They pictured him as a noble champion of higher pay for the work ing people. They denounced his enemies, for traducing him to th president, for misinforming the great leader whose program had been SO per cent supported by Cotton Ed. And the word Is thst the voters havo believed them. Perhaps Cotton Ed will be beaten. Perhaps there will be a run-off in which case the president Is likely lo go Into South Carolina and apee his mind In more positive fashion But Cotton Ed la still an odds-on bet to win. Under the circumstances, one wonders Just how much meaning should be attached to the voting In the purge primaries. MITNICE. Ind.
