To the Editor: England and France, the so-called democracies, havo not only yielded to Hitler's demands but have helped him greatly In his rape of their war baby, Chechoslovakia, why tildn't they oppose him In the violation of their child Instead of helping him? Your "column left" Informs It was fear of the Rome-Berlin combina tion being overwhelmingly powerful In the air. This, you hold, "Is at least the first logical explanation of what has occurred In the past week or tea days." But to ths humble undersigned tt la "not so hot" It'a superficial. And you dismiss, aa ao much nonsense, the view that M. Daladter and the Hon. Chamberlain "were prejudiced In Germany's favor." They were. That Is certain. These gentlemen "gave In" to Hitler be cause It they did not yield they fear ed he would start a world war which would end In revolution and put an end to capitalism. This la the Mos cow view and, It Is believed, much nearer the truth than the opinion expressed In "column left" by Alsop and Klntner In today's Issue of the Mall Tribune. The, dictators have the capitalist democracies over a barrel. Do what we say. else -we shall start a world revolution." will no doubt be their threat from now on. They will get what they want and when they want It, and world capitalism win "come through," however painfully. Soon they will demand a "loan" to save themselves from financial and eco nomic collapse and they will get It a gift pure and simple. The de bacle could hsve been avoided, It Is believed, had a firm stand been taken Instead of the one of betrayal. Hitler might have ordered his armies to march, but the high command would not have carried It out. Sui cide la not to Its liking, however "glorious." Daladter and Chamberlain "muffed It." They proved to be no match for Hitler and Mussolini. Perhaps the end of this la not yet. There may be more to come and plenty. The people may yet awaken to a realisa tion of what Is taking place before It Is too late. Here la hoping. R. HEONER. Gold Hill, October 3, 1938. Has No Use for Hoover. To the Editor: A few nights ago I listened to Mr. Hoover's speech from Kansas City. He called our president anything but a gentleman In his exercise ot free speech, which he accused P. D. R. ot depriving us of. I could not help but think, while Mr. Hoover was comparing some of P. D. R.'s actions with thon of Oeorge ni, of Hoover's expression In 1833, that Itinerant working people should be denied a vote. Somewhat Oeorge Thlrdlsh Itself, I would say. "Taxa tion without ropresentstlon." And another New Deal action was compared to some ot Hitler's. I also think back to the time when Mr. Hoover, while president, ordered out the mllltla to disperse World war veterans wno were gathered In Wash ington to ask for their bonus. There was life lost and much bodily Injury. I wouldn't compare that with Hlt- ler'a etuif. I think tt la mora like Ivan the Terrible, you know, when the Jews wera gathered In St. Peters burg to present a petition, and dis persed by Cossacks. Hoover either has no sense of hu mor or has no sense of the ridiculous. When Roosevelt best him It was by the biggest majority In history, and that was because wa were tired of "business being let alone by the government," and the banks going broke by the hundreds, people going hungry because there were millions of bushels of wheat being held by speculators for higher prices, people ragged because of thousands of bales of cotton held for higher prices, the hobo Jungles filled with men and women, and bablea wera being born in the Jungles because the parents had no homes. There was no organized relief. "Prosperity waa Juat around some corner." Every street corner waa crowded with unemployed men. There was no WPA then, but he has the brazen Impudence now to stand up and say that any WPA worker should be fined and Imprisoned If he spesks aloud his political views. I hope they nominate Hoover for president In 1940; he'd mske It a cinch for anyone on the Democratic ticket. I think It will be a cinch anyway If some good New Dealer gets the Democratic nomination.
