The Nazi Technique
UNQUESTIONABLY a one-man dictatorship does something
to a nation.
Outside of Soviet Russia, we don't believe there is a govern
ment, except Nazi Germany, that would have killed nine college
students, and imprisoned 1200 because of a "liberty celebration"
put on by the undergraduates, of a recently conquered country.
Not only . would such drastic action, be instinctively
repugnant to any really CIVILIZED nation; but it would so
readily be recognized as bad policy, from the standpoint of the
nation's own welfare.
FOR these Prague students merely represented healthy and
exuberant Czccho-S'.ovakian youth, and what more natural
than an occasional demonstration of their resentment against the
armed hivader, and their devotion to the liberty and freedom
of their native land.
That the demonstration in question was not a serious one,
from the standpoint of local law and order, is clearly shown,
by the fact that the people of Prague as a whole, never suspected
trouble of any kind, at the university or elsewhere until the
execution of the student ringleaders was announced.
NO doubt the students of Prague had been under the observa
tion of the Nazi secret service for sometime, and at the first
sign of any demonstration, in marched the gangster strong-arm
squad and the "blackshirt elite." The college "cheerleaders",
many mere boys in their 'teens, were lined up against a wall
forthwith and shot; while hundreds of others, boys and girls,
were herded into Jail and concentration camps.
We repeat only a one-man dictatorship would be guilty of a
drab, brutal performance like that. For only such a government
would be so devoid of humanity, and humor.
WE don't deny that during war, more drastic methods are
required than In times of peace. But during war or peace,
no action like this could be justified, either from the standpoint
of what Is morally right or politically effective.
THE Nazi government has a great deal to say about Its need
of colonies, and its determination to secure the return of the
colonies taken away by the Treaty of Versailles. But under
such an ideology as now reigns in Berlin, if it were given ALL
THE COLONIES ON THE GLOBE, It couldn't hold its empire
together for a month. For there are no collection of human
beings in the world today, white or black, that would submit to
such treatment as the Nazis employ against all aliens and non-Nordics.
AND imagine what the reaction on Czecho-Slovakian youth
will bel Thev may be quieted for the Immediate present
no doubt, but not for long. And
vow revenge against and freedom
be guilty of such an Inhuman
November 16th.
In other words this latest "blood and iron" procedure by the
Nazi government merely demonstrates again, that ever since the
underworld gangsters of Berlin, seized the government, they
have progressed by gangster methods, methods of cruelty, In
timidation and ruthlessness. Such methods may succed after a
fashion for a time, but sooner or later they are doomed to defeat,
for an aroused public opinion not only without Germany but
within will not tolerate it.
In Prague, as in Poland and Germany Itself, the amoral and
soulless one-man dictatorship has
the dragon's teeth, "which eventually can only lead to the whirl
wind of Its own destruction.
A German s
"fTNOWlNG Hitler's character, I am fully able to judge his
present state of mind, which is that of an hysterical woman
rejected by her lover. Hitler had hoped to win Britain's friend
ship in order to carry out unmolested his conquest of the con
tinent. Now that his love has been rejected, it has turned into
violent hatred. So If Britain successfully repulses the projected
attacks, it would have a devastating effect on the morale of the
German army and the air force. For Hitler will launch a mili
tary attack on Holland within the next few months, if not
weeks."
"Hitler plans to build aerodromes and submarine bases there
to be used against Britain. As the founder of the "Black Front"
antl-Hltler party in Germany I am in constant communication
with the highest military men in the Fatherland, and this Is the
information I have received":
"Holland's Invasion is regarded by Hitler as essential for an
effective attack on Britain, which, after the rejection of the
recent "final peace offers," was the outstanding aim of Nazi
strategy.
"My colleagues in Berlin inform me that Goerlng has outlined
tc Hitler a gigantic scheme against the British blockade. If given
permission to sacrifice " 000 'planes, he promises that the Ger
man air force will succeed in breaking the allies' superiority on
sea. For this large scale attack, Holland is absolutely essential
as a base as well as for the refuelling of submarines. According
to the plan, the German air force will not attack London but will
concentrate on British ports and convoys.
"All the Information I have
sizes that military circles are not at all confident about the war
But as long as Hitler is able to claim successes as a "conqueror",
they are forced to submit.
"The critical time will come for Hitler in March, when starva
tion during the winter has had Its effect.
"Following the flight of llerr Thyssen, the steel magnate,
from Germany, many other leading industrialists are getting
out of the country with their families They are coming here
to Switzerland where they are ostensibly staying for 'prolonged
holidays.' But they have managed to get part of their fortunes
out. They fear that Hitler's pact with Moscow must spell the
reign of Bolshevism in Germany before long." Dr. Otto Strasser
of Germany, now living in Switzerland, via The World-Wide
News Service.

Washington, Nov. 18. Attor
ney General Frank Murphy's
appointment to the supreme
court appears so probable that
interest chiefly concentrates on
the men who may move up the
ladder behind him. It seems
nearly as certain that Solicitor
General Robert H. Jackson will
be named to Murphy's place as
that Murphy will inherit Justice
Pierce Butler's vacant seat on
the high bench.
Thua the lollcltor generalship,
which lawyers like to call the "big
gost legal Job In the country," 1b the
main prize offered for open compe
tition. It Is strikingly Interesting
that, as of today, Benjamin V. Cohen
has at least an even chance to win
it. Being a retiring man, he la any
thing but an active candidate. But
he is a logical choice, having per
sonally originated many of the new
deal's novel legal theories and drafted
an actual majority of the greatest
new deal stattitea.
He Is also strongly supported by
the cohesive group of government
lawyers, economists, administrators
and presidential advisers who often
look to him for Intellectual Inspira
tion. Cohen's appointment will not be
a matter of course, by any means
Due to the peculiar and quite decep
tive legend which has grown up
around Cohen and his partner.
Thomas O. Corcoran, the president
might fear a halr-rHlsing confirma
tion fight If he sent Cohen's name
to the senate. The group to which
Cohen belongs does not wield quite
It former influence, and there are
reports of semt -commitment In
other directions. Finally, the victims
of Assistant Attorney General Thur
man W. Arnold's ageresslve Mitt-trust
progrnm may start a drive to kick
Arnold upstairs.
Murphy is an odds-on bet for the
Justiceship because he Is a Roman
Catholic and cornea from Michigan.
If the president wants to keep Mur
phy on the Job t the Justice depart
ment, he may waive the sectional
requirements in favor of the distin
guished Boston lawyer. John J. Burns,

QIESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Pneumothorax
What Is the value of pneumothorax
treatment of lug tuberculosis? (D. J.)
Answer That is injection of air
or gaa into the pleural cavity to col
lapse the sick lung, giving It a rest
of many weeks until the air or gas
is gradually absorbed and the lung
resumes work. Where the disease 1b
confined to one lung it is of great
value.
Psoriasis

subject to psoriasis? I have had It
for about 18 years and it always
seems worst In the spring. (R. M.)
Answer Send stamped envelope
bearing your address and ask for

otic helrarchy is understood to have
seconded the nomination.
An additional reason given for the
recent Dutch-Belgian offer to medi
ate the European war Is that Queen
Wllhelmlna of the Netherlands la a
strong moral re-armer. She ts not a
member of the Oxford group, for she
dislikes the groupers' plnce-nezed
leader. Dr. Prank N. D. Buchman,
who was lately photographed beam
ing a blessing at Mae West.
But the groupers' "moral rearma
ment" doctrine, that all will be for
the beat In this best of possible
worlds If we only hope so hard
enough, appeals to the serious-minded
queen.
The president la so Inordinately
fond of accumulating bric-a-brac
that his desks are always crowded
with small, useless objects and the
wall of his studies and offices cov
er dwith prints and pictures. Two
recent additions to his collection,
large photographs of Justlcn Felix
Frankfurter and Senator George Nor
rls. are not without a certain signif
icance. He picked them out, as he
explained, because their subjects were
the two men In American public life
whom he most admired.
The photographs were done by a
German refugee, Ferdinand Vogel.
Vogel, a friend of Commissioner of
Labor Statistics Isador Lubln, has
been making a portrait gallery of
American public men. Lubln took
some of Vogc1' work to the president
In order to persuade him to sit for
the photographer. The president was
deeply impressed by the Frankfurter
and Norrls pictures, which are simply
realistic studies, magnificently suc
cessful in revealing character. He
ordered copies on the spot. These
have now been aifecttonately in
scribed by Frankfurter and Norrts
and will soon be framed and pre
sented. It's easy to explain the state
departments failure to offer Hitler
excessively insincere congratulations
on his escape from assassination. In
such cases, two procedures are1 open.
Dtplomata of foreign nations may
call at the foreign offtce. say a few
polite words to the appropriate offi
cial, and write their names in a book
kept for the purpose, which la like
leaving a calling card. This was done
by the American charge d'affalrea at
Berlin. Alexander Kirk.
Sending a congratulatory message
Is a second course, resorted to as a
special gesture of friendship. Nervous
neutrals hastened to send messages,
but the president decided not to

(Continued from Page One.)
TWO types of camps are in Oregon :
"mobile" and permanent. Wash
ington has - the permanent type.
Permanent camps have two-room
houses with bath, water and modern
sanitation, with a community hall
and a little land on which garden
truck la supposed to be raised. A
two-room house rents or 8 a
month. The "mobile" caenps have
no houses, but platforms for tenta.
with community laundry and bath
ing facilities. "Mobile" camp la slml-'
lar to the pioneer automobile camps
of 16 or 20 yeara ago.
One criticism of the camps Is that
they are not always located in the
most convenient neighborhood. The
camp near Dayton. Ore., ts a bit too
far from the hopyarda and orchards
and similar sources of work, accord
ing to complaints brought to the
national capital.
That the camps almost like con
centration camps serve a useful
purpose is unquestioned by those
who have traversed the coast and
have seen the migrants, like gypsies,
huddled under miserable shelters of
tin and tar paper on the outskirts
of towns such as In Tdaho.
...
IN the cause of temperance, con
gress will be requested to change
the law requiring bonded whisky to
be 100 proof and lowering the proof
to 86. Here Is the argument: Scotch
whisky la 86 proof and It ia said to
be popular because it Is lighter
Bonded whisky must be 100 proof
(note It on the green stamp), a dif
ference of 24 higher than Scotch and
In two or three highballs, using the
same size Jigger, the consumer la
acquiring a creater load of alcohol
from bonded whisky than from
Scotch. It la not because It is
considered "smart" to serve Scotch,
but because It la lower proof than
the American hootch.
Reduction of the proof of bonded
stuff will be urged for two reasons:
sobriety and assistance to the Amer
ican Industry. American distillers
will request the legislation.

Not Smart, Just Dumb
Certainly if h- delightful concert at
the Holly last night doesn't assure the
success of the remainder of the current
musical "series", then nothing can.
Before the gifted Viennese. Ossy Renardy
appeared, the complaint waa frequently heard
that the series represented an effort to put
over two unknown and Inferior artists, on the
prestige and popularity of one Marlon An
derson, the famous colored contralto.
This allegation was emphatically denied by
those supporting the series, who knew better
But Judging from the ticket sales a certain
and sizable skepticism remained.
Now those who really appreciate good
music and failed to attend last night's con
cert are kicking themselves all over the town
site and with good reason. They thought
they were being smart, and were only being
dumb. A more entirely charming violin
recital has ne-er been heard In southern
Oregon, and we doubt If one ever will be.
Those who missed It, missed a musical treat
of truly surprising proportions.
A word to the wise SHOULD be sufficient
It will take the S. B. O. sign at both the
Donald Dickson and Marian Anderson con
certs, to prove that as far aa "Musical
