WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct.
ing. There is no longer any
embargo. The only question is how large will be the majority.
This column's prediction is it will be large. For with the
net result no longer in doubt those boys who were on the fence
are getting off. And need we sny on which SIDE they are
getting offt Foolish question there is onlv one side that is
ever considered under such circumstances, the WINNING side.
. .
Tes, it's all over but the shouting, but WHAT a shouting!
We crawled out on a limb in our last, predicting Sheridan
Downey of Ham-and-Egg fame would go far. We had no idea
at the time how right we were. In fact he has already gone
further than we ever had an idea anyone could go. He talked
for seven hours straight or almost straight.
Poor old Sheridan, if he had only KNOWN WHEN to stop!
Had he called it a day Friday afternoon everyone would have
given him a hand, and put him down as a "comer." But when
he finally dropped from exhaustion, Monday evening, not a
hand was extended to pick him up. We doubt if history records
a clearer case of a freshman senator with a great chance, not
only fumbling the ball, but knocking himself outl '
.....
But there will be another chance no doubt. Downey has
brains, guts and political "it." Moreover the old gray Benate
ain't what she used to be. Twenty years ago such a flop would
have put the perpetrator on the blacklist for a couple of years
at least. In fact Freshman Downey would never have been
given his chance in the first place. Not so today. The senate
is still i,te a down-town club, in many ways, but one black ball
is no longer enough. And you can THANK, or blame, the
New Deal for that.
So unless this column is as wet as the Potomac (there is
always a chance), the remainder of this historic "battle of the
century", will consist of merely going through the motions.
If the isolationists had a Webster or a Bryan, or even a
Beveridge, in reserve, one would not be so certain. For the
arms embargo bloc not only has a case, a true leader with
another "cross of gold" speech, might very well transform
senate sentiment overnight.
But nothing is clearer than
was the big shot, and let it be

Following Mr. Downey's sad
discussion ensued concerning the
measure, presented by (another
by the way), Senator Dnnnher
During the following discussion, imam Johnson or Cali
fornia engaged in a controversy with Senator Connolly of Texas,
over the preparation of the bill, at the hands of the foreign
relations committee, the burden of which was this:
Senator Johnson: "You didn't invite us to your meeting,
why should be have invited you to ours?"
Senator Connolly: "You never invited us to your meetings
why should we have invited you to OUHS?" That's not exag
geration, that's the fact.
So these two distinguished gentlemen, stood facing each
other lika a couple of venerablo fighting cocks, slinking their
fingers in each other's faces, their voices fairly trembling with
emotion, over a question of picayune procedure, which we
submit, might seriously concern a couple of boys in the sixth
grade, but should hardly be a matter of concern, to adults,
much less to two of America's cider statesmen.
But this is only one instance. Many might be cited. And
this is not offered in criticism so much as elucidation. So many
things in 'matters of state, both here mid abroad, could
be more clearly understood, if one never forgets that a vast
majority of men high or low, NEVER completely grow up.
.....
And Hiram Johnson, incidentally, is one of the most distin
guished looking members of the upper house. He always has
a high stiff white collar, a colorful cravat, a well fitting double
breasted suit; but his crowning glory is the most extraordinary
head of hair, we believe a man of his years ever possessed. Like
an extraordinary sunset or a rare combination of clouds, it is
one of those things that would never ho believed if placed
accurately on canvas. He not only has apparently never lost a
hair, but the effect is precisely like burnished silver, one can
hardly believe it is hair, it loolcs so perfectly groomed and so
METALLIC. Did we not have unimpeachable evidence to the
contrary we would believe Hiram had benefited by some wig
maker who is a genius. But we know it is all his, if it isn't a
yard wide. And unlike the glamorous McNutt of Indiana, he
doesn't even put bluing on it! R. V. R.

Early in the century when amnesia

In the past 25

asked for advice or Information;
explanation would be the fact that
many have offered it and some have
given It In one mood or another.
At first analysis It might seem
extraordinary how small a proportion
of these letters come from persons
with arrested mental development.

may write or type a short letter with

make concerning hygiene, health and

show that the popular health edu

with effective obfuscatlon of the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. The
Russo-artrman pact, which might
better be called an alliance. Is the
most Important political fact In the
world today. It has already changed
the balance of power In Europe. By
shell-shocking the radical move
ments, it is profoundly affecting
the domestic politics of this and
many other countries. It may, per
haps, prove to be the foundation
of great Russian and German em
pires, which will dominate the world
of the future as the English and
French empires have dominated tho
world we know.
The detailed history of the pact
will only be written when the Rus
sian or German archives are open
to the inspection of historians. From
official information available in
Washington, however. It is already
possible to piece together a sort of
skeleton story of this great event.
The at .ry begins, strangely enough,
shortly alter the last world wu,
when Orpin ny and Russia were th
parlah powers of the world. The
allies were demanding that the so
called "war criminals' be delivered
for trial, and the German govern
ment was resisting the demand. At
a meeting of the German general
staff, It was actually proposed that,
before submitting to the alUes. the
remnant of the Oerman army might
take up Its arms again, retreat to
a defensive line on the Elbe, and
Invite the Bolsheviks to Join in and
reoecupy Poland.
The romantic notion, of courv.
came to nothing, but tt was an
interesting early symptom of the
tendency toward cooperation between
the Germans and the Red armies.
During the "twenties, the little
group ot German generals who were
keeping the German army Mlve de
spite the restrictions of the Versailles
treaty formed a working arrangement
with the Russian htsh command.
German officers were secietly sent
to Russia to be trained In use of
the arms which had hern forbidden
to Germany at Vervallles, while se-
lected Rus-Man officers were taught
j the lesson of Oerman efficiency.

QUESTIONS 4 ANSWERS
Silver Nitrate Stain
Tell the lady who was so worried
by the black stain left on the sink
by the allver nitrate solution to wet
the stain and then drop a . few
crystals of oxalic acid on it, let It
stand 10 minutes, wash off and the
stain will be gone. (H. D. Q.)
Answer Thank you. From the
large file of correspondence incurred
by the stain on the lady's sink I
gather that she must have tried that,
tho let us hope the suggestion Is
effective. You say you've tried It and
you know. But, tell me, did you
succeed In breaking the tobacco
habit. What with the tragedy of the
Stain in the Sink (where the lady
should not have gargled anyway) we.
have lost sight of the purpose of
using the solution of silver nitrate.

mands was maintained by members
of the military intelligence services,
and It was Stalin's discovery of this
liaison which cost the lives of Tuka
shevsky and the other Russian mar
shals. Thus, a precedent at least existed
for Russo-German cooperation when.
In January of this year, planning
his march Into Prague, Hitler ap
parently anticipated the danger of
Franco-British opposition. According
to Dc-maree Bess, In the Saturday
Evening Post, Marshal Goerlng had
long been pressing for friendship
with Russia. At any rate, German
overtures were first made to Russia
In January, and renewed again in
March. On both occasions, the Rus
sian foreign office gave Germany a
cold shoulder. Lltvlnoff, the advo
cate of collective security and a firm
anti-fascist, was then in charge.
On March 15. the German Invasion
of the Czech state began. The Mu
nich pact having been torn up. the
appeasement policy was bankrupt,
and, on March 20, English and Rus
sian proposals lor Joint action crossed
one another on the wires. The Rus
sians suggested an Immediate con
ference at Bucharest, to Include
themselves, the English, French,
Poles, Rumanians and Turks.
The English suggested a declara
tion, by themselves, the Russians,
Poles and French, to the effect that
an attack on the Integrity of any
European state was an attack on
the peace of all Europe, to be fol
lowed by Immediate consultation as
GolJIxtvl imiw
Pact
ifcni
to ways and means of remedy by
the four powers.
The Poles and Rumanians, In con
stant terror of their huge Bolshevik
neighbor, protested Instantly and
loudly, and the Russian and English
proposals were both dropped. Nego
tiations continued through April,
however, with the English urging
the Russians to announce guaran
tees of the Integrity of the border
states, and the Russians asking for
an Anglo-Franco-Russian alliance.
The French, more realistic and less
timid than the England of Chamber
lain, constantly pleaded with their
ally to give the Russians their way.
But the Poles and Rumanians were
still violently restive. Chamberlain
and certain other members of the
English government were both sus
picious of Russia and fearful that
an alliance with her would Inflame
Germany. The negotiations dragged
on without result.
Finally, on May 4, Maxim Lltrlnoff
was dismissed from his post of com
missar for foreign affairs. It was on
that day that the English and French
should have given up hope. Either
immediately before or immediately
after Litvinoff's dismissal, the for
eign affairs vice -commissar, Potem
kin, went on a secret mission to
Warsaw. There he kept a rendezvous
with General Syrovy, former jehlef
of the Czech general staff, and the
leader of the Czech element which
accepted the German fait accompli.
As a representative of his new mas
ters, Syrovy made another overture
to Russia. And whether the Potem-kln-SjTovy
meeting caused or was
caused by Litvinoff's fall, It was
the moment when the Russians and
Germans began talking turkey to

SECRETARY of the Interior Ickes
doesn't know it yet, .but a bill has
been drafted and is on the desk of
Oregon's McNary, which will forbid
Ickes from penny-snatching the pub
lic. This year Ickes has started out
to balance the budget by charging
admission to everything he can. It
costs a dime to visit the Lincoln
museum in Ford's theater, where the
president was shot; it costs a dime
(and you must use the tradesmen's
entrance), to inspect the Lee mansion
at Arlington; it costs two-bits to
visit Wakefield, where George Wash
ington was born, etc.
These are all public property, pub
lic buildings, paid for and maintained
by the taxpayers, but when a tax
payer wishes to see these historic
places he discovers that Mr. Ickes
demands an admission fee. There is
no charge to see Smithsonian Insti
tution, National Museum of Natural
History, the art galleries and other
points of interest in Washington, but
Secretary Ickes has no control over
them.

Occasionally Andrews made an un

IN THAT It falls to follow the fa
miliar (because recent) pattern
of the first world war, thia war looks
screwy to those of us who are on
the outside looking in. But it DOE6
follow a definite historical pattern.
The pattern la NAPOLEON'S.
...
lsJAPOLEON'S method was to de-
' liver a swift, unexpected and
Btunnlng blow, terrifying his enemies.
Then, IMMEDIATELY, while fear of
his prowess was at lta height, he
would propose peace.
He followed this pattern at Mar
engo. He followed It again at Auster
Utz. He followed It ones more at
Jena.
Each time the terror he had In
spired won him more out of the
peace terms than he could have
gained by further war.
IJITLER has delivered a stunning
blow In Poland. His armies
functioned perfectly. His plans were
carried out without a hitch. His deal
with Stalin meshed accurately. Po
land was destroyed In two weeks.
Now, following the Napoleonic pat
tern, he Is offering peace on .hlfl own
terms.

yet not definitely confirmed)
that Hitler has named himself su

lyjAPOLEON made two fundamental
mistakes. After saving Prance
and making her borders safe, he
turned to war ma conquest Instead
of peace and reconstruction. Led on
by towering ambition and military
success, he bit off more than he
could chew. In the end, these mis
takes overwhelmed him.
...
XTAPOLEON'S peaces, made at the
cannon's mouth, never LASTED.
Fear of him and hatred of him al
ways brought his enemies back fight
ing. They used the intervals of peace
as breathing spells to collect their,
scattered forces and MAKE NEW AL
LIANCES. The British fleet finally starved
him out.
