Weekend Roundup
WEEKEND finds the whole news situation moving to
the quiet side after a week of sensational develop
ments. Now the spotlight of public interest, which must
always be focused upon something, is switched back to
such matters as national, state and local politics, the wars
in China and Spain, and other fairly familiar subjects
which languished in the shadows for a fortnight or so.
Finding time to look at these things again, we discover
they have seemingly been held in suspense until the pub
lic could spare them a little attention again.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 Intolll
Itenre sleuths (not IT. S.) re
cently discovered a secret radio
station ot extraordinary si to In
the mountain recesses back ot
.Mexico City. It has such tremen
dous power ttiat no receiving set
In Mexico has been able to tune
In on Its signals.
Investigators have flown over
It lit planes but have not been
able to Identify either Its purpose
or Its activity, both ot which have
been protected by the secrecy of
the Mexican government.
First guess was that It might
be Japanese, but this assumption
proved to be erroneous. The
Mexicans are having no traffic
with the Japs. But they have
Trotsky, and they are very close
and congenial with loyalist Spain,
whence messages have reached
other congenial parts of the
world.
Interest In the station Is high
within officialdom here In view
of the stiff Cardenas policy of
confiscation of American, British
and' Mexican properties.
SIDE GLANCES
George Clark
In Spain, there are reports that both sides are "de
internationalizing" their armies. Loyalists are said to
have discarded the services of many foreign volunteers.
Italy, in particular, is reported to be withdrawing its
men and machines which have been moved into Spain
on the side of the rebels. Mussolini's action is described
by some sources as a "gesture for peace," but it more
likely is the correction of an error. Inasmuch as there
were no persecuted Italians in Spain and no border ques
tions, II Duce could offer as his only excuse for activity
the possibility of getting a chunk of Spain. But even
that was not mentionable in the open, for even the
Spanish rebels would protest. Continued fighting with
out motive could hardly be expected of the Italians.
' What has happened in Europe leaves many questions
to be answered by future developments. Speculation
runs on the question of who won in the outcome of the
week's crisis . There seems little to dispute in the state
ment that Hitler was the chief gainer. He got what he
had been gunning for, but without the sacrifices of a
fight. He added 3,500,000 people to the third reich.
Europe was spared, at least for the time being, from the
hideous burdens of a war, but Hitler and the German
people shared in that benefit as much as anyone else.
The trouble source that was Sudetenland was removed,
and all Europe rests easier for that
Many still fear for the future. They refuse to put
j stock in Chancellor Hitler's statement that Sudetenland
represented his last territorial claim in EuroDe. Thev
foresee trouble in further attempts to extend the power
- 01 trie reicn. nut tne greatest hope in the situation is
I that it does give a respite from the immediate threat of
I -.war, and perhaps, before another arises, reasoning and
; common sense may prevail to bring about some way other
s man iorce to settle sucn disputes as may arise.
i Here at home the junior livestock show and a sen-
I sational court trial shared the week's public interest.
Now, with October here and November 8 less than six
: weeks away, attention will be concentrated pretty much
; on politics. Those who want to be able to participate
;" in the results of this campaign, on election day, would
; do well to see that their voter registration is in order
before next Saturday, the deadline.
MISVXDKnSTAXDIXO
Dies committee Is having diffi
culty making itself understood
again.
From a recent hearing word
went out that a committee, in
vestigator had charged certain
unnamed American industrialists
with backing Hitler's German
American bundling business in
this country. That Is the way it
sounded to newsmen a few feet
away. But the record will quote
the witness as saying he only
heard the namea of a few Indus
trialists mentioned as being sym
pathetic at bund meetings.
Inside on It Is the investigator
neard only two namea mentioned
One was a large manufacturer
who accepted an honorary decora
tion .from the German govern
ment as was published In all the
papers at the time. The other
was head of a well known antl
communist patriotic organisation
here whose only Industry Is pub
lication of a weekly newa-letter.
NOTE Dlea committee witnes
ses are not rehearsed, are nermlt-
ted to blabber whatever Is In
their minds, and this does not al
ways come out straight in words.

RECODfEXDATIOXS
It is possible now to forecast
definitely what the Dies com
mittee will recommend to con
gress to curb un-American activi
ties. Hearings hnve progressed
far enough for the Investigators
to nave made up their minds.
They will demand:
1. Some form of federal regu
lation of these front organiza
tions, lootn fascist and commun
ist) which will require public re
ports on their, standing and per
sonnel. (All they have to do now
Is to plank down a small local
charter fee.)
2. A bill to institute a federal
charter system for such organi
zations which will give the state
department or some other bureau
a restraining influence over their
organization and finances. (Com
mitteemen will report some of
the money raised for Spain never
got there.)
3. Revision of the labor depart-
POSTPOXEMKXT
Cheering over peace prospects
in Europe was softened somewhat
inside here by the knowledge
that this is no permanent solu
tion. The Munich get-together was
interpreted sub-otflcinlly as a
great precedent for table gather
ings. It certainly established a
new method of negotiation for
Europe. Next time a crisis oc
curs, the call for another confer
ence of this kind will arise natur
ally. Yet no official could be found
who thought the agreement could
possibly do anything more than
delay the campaign of militant
diplomatic aggression by the dic
tators. DISAPPOIXTMEXT
Authorities here were astound
ed at the disappointment express
ed by many men and women In
the street over the peace settle
ment. Private comment, letters
and telegrams indicated there
was a large number of people
who believe Hitler must bo stop
ped, and the longer the job Is de
layed, the harder it will be.
IMPORTS UX AFFECTED
War-scare has not yet even af
fected our imports. Ordinarily,
you would expect that If war were
imminent, Czechoslovakia, Ger
many ct al, would be pushing out
goods. Treasury figures show
customs receipts up to September
26, were almost exactly the same
the same period of August,
24,000,000.
