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. I

"I was, in bad condition and the

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.

friend, Senator Jimmy Byrnes, bad
been sold down the river to Cotton
Ed. 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.
