(Ps. 125:2) * * * A?* the word "round about*' com^s from a word Ttieaning "a circle," do we not get the thought heae of the LORD encircling His people, so that nouiingr can touch them, but it mvist first reach Him? The further thought of the "mountains" as sures us of the steadfastness of this protection." —Keswick Calendar. TERRORISM DEFEATS ITS OWN ENDS (Bv BRUCE CATTON) •fbefore a band of police officials in Paris, one of the terrorists involved in thel murder of King Alexander has been tell snf his story of that crime. He has told how ardent Croatian revo lutionists formed a terrorist band and -iound themselves to give implicit obedi ence to its* orders. He has told how, a. month ago, certain members were ordered to meet in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the leader of the band there gave Item their orders. m "None of us knew what was to be done," he said. "All we knew was that someone .%£s to be killed." Their leader reminded them that they "were as dead men" in his 'hands and that their lives would be for feited if they failed to carry out their mis sion. •All this somehow has the flavor of an -ir. - Phillips Oppenheim thriller. And it is a good sidelight on the way in which men eau delude themselves into believing that pistol and bomb can solve the world's trou bles, and" that individuals can appoint themselves executioners and thereby help right old wrongs. ^ T^or the terrorist very seldom accom plishes what he plant. Usually he touches a chain of evients in which his own Ideais are completely overwhelmed. _ "Charlotte Corday killed Marat to end ^*h« bloodshed of the French revolution and make human liberty secure. A bloodi er terror than Marat had ever dreamed of ■allowed, and French liberties wound up *o"the hands of Napoleon. John Wilkes Booth killed Lincoln to Mkvenge the wrongs of the South. The im >iiiediate result was to give the so-called "radicals" free sway in Washington and to visit on the South the unspeakable woes tftthe reconstruction period. 1 ijftussian terrorists made czar and xiobii ity their targets for generations to bring liberty to Russia. Today the country oc cupies history's tightest strait-jacket, and old-time revolutionary heroes dare not the borders. The McNamara brothers bombed' the Los Angeles Times building to further the o a*use of union labor—and caused a revul sion of feeling in which that cause was set back by at least a generation. „„And so it goes. The fanatic appoints uUmself to mend things by a sudden, dras tic stroke—and, like these deluded wretch who killed Alexander, creates a turmoil '^it which his cause is utterly swamped. T NEWSPAPERS' OPINION 1 9" 1 o trJL VOTES AGAINST DEMOCRACY General Smuts does not believe "we are on the v^rge of another great war." But he feels another *t^tgager he fears more than the danger of war. The (rreat South African soldier-Statesman took the occasion of his installation as rector of St.} c Andrew's University Wednesday to emphasize a "4p£ay of the individual's responsibility and in government. And, as it happened, while 9*. was speaking in Loinkm his words were being tftajfcsiited haffway across the world. the American Middlewest the AAA has been » corn-hog referendum, part of the plan Upr Secretary Wallace describes as ~ economic ■toofccraey" for agriculture. By Wednesday the &flfrrns on bft21otin* indicated that not more.' Mr6D per cent of eligible farmers had voted, 4J&pngh the referendum aimed at setting an ex pression of opinion from farmers already co-op-, era ting with the farm administration in its produc i tifrif control programs. Mr. Wallace has suggested, the rapidity with *h'reh this referendum was handled and lack of jmhiii-ftir in some states may account in a measure f»r the small vote. Nevertheless, it must be said that as a rule those who benefit from the privi leges of democratic government have hardly rec ognized the responsibility individuals must bear if the rights it guarantees to individuals are to be continued. In the United States, the potential voting popu lation is about 67,000,000. Balloting in the last two presidential elections—and these elections usually attract more voter interest than any others—totaled less than 40,000,00# votes. Mus solini or Hitler raigfit be pardohed for assuming that these figures show a good 27,000,000-vote ! possibility of dictatorship in America. Probably it is partly because of facts such as these that General Smuts would awaken theoreti cal supporters of democracy to some more practi cal interest in it. He has observed dictatorship spreading in Europe, and forms of oppression at work over a large part of the world, and he makes j a startling conclusion: "Perhaps I do not exaggerate when I say that of what we call liberty in its full human meaning —freedom of thought, speech, action and self expression—there is today less in Europe thay there has been during the last 2000 years." These may be alarming words. But perhaps they will awaken people in free countries to the need of a more active individual interest in their government. And as they do, it is possible that the results will help to turn the tides that have been alarming General Smuts.—Christian Science Monitor. CALIFORNIA SOWING THE WIND California is apparently already beginning to reap the whirlwind for its folly in toying with the pernicious socialistic theories of Upton Sinclair. The state even now is being overrun by thv> j unemployed, who are planning to get in on the ground floor for any largess which may be passed j out in the event of Mr. Sinclair's election as gov- j ernor of the Golden State next month. And apparently also they think it is going to be available on the morning after the first Tues day after the first Monday. In addition to the problem of this great influx of the uaemployed. who are said to be entering the state at the rate of a hundred a day, Cali fornia is up against the problem of a great mass of illegal voters, as a result of this new immigra tion to the state. In Los Angeles alone the attorney general finds 24,136 registrations which bear the marks of be ing fraudulent. Sinclair's extravagant promises of the end of poverty by the mere waving of some sort of magic wand are certainly impossible of fulfillment in any i such manner as he has planned. And California will be likely to add to its in dustrial and social problems if it toys further with Upton Sinclair's fantastic theories.—Rock Hill, S. C., Herald. .\«f .. . LJfTERS, NOT LEANERS NEEDED I Possibly, the most effectual move that could be nationally made at this time would be that de signed to give the American people relief from | relief. Not in the sense that it would be either good strategy or good government for Washington to announce to individuals and business of this cou.i-1 try that it was going out of business insofar as having the federal soup-house and the federal ; money-bags and the federal bureaucrats available | for the asking. And even more than that, available whether asked for or not. That would not be in keeping with the demands of' the present continuing situation of befuddle ment. But it is clear that there is far too much lean ing on Washington. What this country needs more than anything else is not this leaning type of individual nor of business or indutry, but the lifting kind. We must have private doers instead of a collec tion of duds before we will be able to strike our stride again.—Charlotte Observer. ANOTHER CLAIM On its face the charge of Francis J. Gorman, vice-president of the United Textile Workers, that the manufacturers in this field are 'doing every thing in their power" to provoke a new crisis, is illogical. Why should textile employers desire another crisis? Crises in any industry are costly to capital and labor alike and no manufacturer of intelli gence desires them, for splfish reasons if for no other. 1 r «. * • Gorman's claim reminds of his claims in six figures of a vast U. T. W. membership at the time of the general strike effort, which was followed by reports from the A. F. of L. convention of p voting strength for the U. T. W. based on u8,000 members.—Greenville Piedmont. PATRICK -HENRY'S VIEWS "I have but one lamp by which my feet are ruided and that is the lamp of experience. I know >f no way of judging the future save by the past." So remarked Patrick Henry, who should be liv ng at this hour when so. many are the malcontents vho would ignobly -disregard the old for no other 'eason than that it is old and despise the past be :ause it is the past. If Mr. Henry were about today, his great elo quence would be heard in wise counsel to America that while it is well to keep one's eyes trained ahead, it is ahways wise to keep one's memory alert as to the past.—Julian £. Miller in Charlotte Ob server. And further to prove that talk isn't cheap, Presi dent Roosevelt gets into a casual conversation with Professor Warren and up go prices on the stock exchange. The scientists who have succeeded in extracting gold from sea water, might now turn their ener gies to extracting gold from the government. There was a time when radio waves were blamed lor drouths, accidents, earthquakes and such. Now it's either President Roosevelt or the munitions makers. LET'S GET TOGETHER By WICKES WAMBOLDT While William Lundell, inter viewer for a biff broadcasting com pany, was questioning Fred C. Kelly, world traveler, about Sov iet Russia in a recent nation-wide hook-up, the word "Soviet," quite logically was frequently used. Every time Mr. Lundell. inter viewer, said "Soviet," he pro nouced the "o," like the "o" in ''not", while every time Mr. Kelly, world traveler, just back from Russia said "Soviet," he pro nounced the "o" like the "o" in , "go." Webster's Dictionary say.'; i that Mr. Kelly's pronunciation is j correct. Mr. Lundell and Mr. Kelly should have gotten together on whatever i pronunciation was right. The ef fect was funny, and to some per sons, confusing. Fine Patriotism One thing- Mr. Kelly described Waraboldt in answer to lwr. L u n (1 ell's ques tioning was the attitude of the Soviets toward their jrovernment, —He told of a' pretty jrirl repu-l larly emp 1 oy e d | evidently in sec retarial work or some kind of white collar job. who had donned overalls and worked all night in the mud help ing1 in the construction of a sub way. She had performed that service solely because she had wanted to do her patriotic bit foi lier government. Peace-time pa triotism. according to Mr. Kelly, runs high in Russia. It should run hio-h in America. Must Have Idols Pure democracy does not, I be lieve, inspire and keep alive con tinuously a high degree of patrio tism in its citizenry. People must have something- to worship. They can not worship an impersonal government. They can not wor ship governmental officials who are here today and gone tomorrow and who the people know are here today and gone tomorrow. The public needs something that it can see and hear with its eyes and ears, to tie to. There is no doubt that the mon archy, when kind and considerate, commands more public devotion than the democracy. The mon arch is permanent. When one dies, another takes his place, not according to vote, but according to inheritance. A decent royal family becomes the permanent idol of the people. People always want to dothings for their idols and they seem to want idols to do things for. England has a great scheme. England has clearly capitalized on the advantages of the monarchy and of the democracy. England has a royal family for the people to idolize. England's form of government is such that her mon archs can do the people no wrong; they have no chance to \nong the -eople. England's monarchs have no authority. Their functions are largely social and' perfunctory Their business is to be good to the people, and interesting and enter taining anil benevolent. Eng land's monarchs are not required to take steps and make decisions that might make the people sore. All England uses her monarchs for is to set the styles, to get func tn HOD.NM 1)1 1 C.HKH >EA Sfrvlrr SUilf OirrfNiMiiidrnI 7ASHINGT0N—As for {is the administration is concerned, General Johnson hit the nail squarely on the thulnb in his last press conference, lichen he ex When the incredible general de cried other forms of relief—such as work programs—he arrayed him self in direct opposition to the whole scheme of Roosevelt policy as it is now being secretly formu lated to meet the winter relief load. Roosevelt has decided that the New Deal should pet as far away from straight relief as it possibly j can. His plan, now in embryo, nims to take everyone off the re lief rolls and give them some kind of work. He is bound to fall short of that goal. Rut he is tired of relief of the present type, thinks the coun try also is tired of it, believes it is bad for everybody's morale, and recalls the tonic nature of CWA last winter.- Hopkins, Ickes, and Rlchberg agree. you can look for some thing hig in the way of a pro gram which will stress munici pal projects of all types. Con st nut ion. demolition, railroad underpass work and community swimming pools are among the things hcinj; discussed. The plan, a synthesis of PWA. CWA. and other work programs, will be aimed chiefly at the larg er cities', where most of the un employment is. And it is going to be rather expensive. I nnHE New Dealers are wincing ' under their first approach to ward u scandal and wonder ir.~ lolled the virtues of the direct cash tlole. * * * wneuier .t can oe blown up sum ciently by the Republicans for campaign use. You will be inter ested to hear that our old friend Undersecretary of Agriculture Rex Tugwell appears unhappily in the picture. At Beltsvillo. Md.. the Depart ment of Agriculture set out to build up a marvelous experiment al farm, using PWA money About a million dollars was allocated lor the animal husbandry section and Karl Sheets, chief of the Ani mal Husbandry Division, was as signed to direct construction ol that unit In charge of the en tire operation was Dr Tugwell Large forces of jmil <"WA labor were used, but to day the million dollars is spent. the animal husbandry project is no more than two-tbirds fin ished. and Sheets, in disgrace, has been demoted to a depart ment field station in Florida. Attempts to suppress publicity have failed. The inside story of this little 1 fiasco is that Sheets was a scientist , who shouldn't have been placed ii; charge of a construction job with jout a hard-boiled contractor at his j side. • Apparently lie felt he had : chance to realize dreams of a life jtime as to what a bang-up labor a j tory should be And the grandiose vision was much more expensive than provided in PWA spedflca i tions. The charge is "waste." not * ) "graft." 1 The Associated General Contra-.' tors of America, which pro'?ste«l bitterly because private contrac tors weren't hired for the job and received no satisfaction from Tug ! well, is busily engaged in seeing ' to it that Rex gets his share ol the dead cats . irrmivricht XF.A R< rvice. Inc i tions going, to distribute gifts, and in other ways to win the pub lic devotion and to hold public patriotism. All of England's real govern mental work, the kind that gets public official*, cussed out and rotten-egged, is done by persons who are elected or appointed. When they displease the people sufficiently, they get kicked out. On them is visited public wrath and vengeance, while the monarch remains unswathed, stll loved, still idolized, still holding the people's loyalty and patriotism. England has a beautiful system. England is exceedingly shrewd. The fact is that our Revolution ary forefathers, when they beat the starch out of King George, taught England a valuable lesson in dealing with colonies and with other subjects of the crown. Eng land ought to do something for us in appreciation of what our forebears at their own expense taught her about government. England might, right now in this depression while we need it, pay us the money we lent her to help her keep the Kaiser from takong her oveir.
