BRISBANE] THIS WEEK Paris: Many Newspapers Surprise for Karl Marx Mr. Eden Was Tired Out A Big Somersault ' This world is really no bigger, now, than the palm of your hand; wherever you Bare, news comes Pullman car on the Mohave desacross, the Levand brothers with the latest "Beacon"; and on newspaper apthe radio feeds Arthur Brl.bonr ,t; ^ paris ten times as many newspapers as are published in New York tell you * anything you choose to believe, from editorials written by men who do not know that the royal and imperial French families died and were buried after the war of 1870 to fiery-eyed modems who think they can graft Karl Marx and Lenin on Jacques Bonhomme, the French peasant, and produce a French Utopia, with a Russian accent and a pair of high boots. ^ They do not know Jacques Bonhomme, who bought his land in the revolution at bargain prices with inflated assignats, and means to keep it, nor do they know the smallsized French bourgeois, who thinks more of one four-cent franc than some of our governing geniuses think of a billion 59-cent dollars. The Marx-Stalin-Lenin brotherhood in America, by the way, does not understand the inside feelings of the U. S. A. citizen, with his bungalow, automobile, radio set, washing machine and furniture, all "nearly paid for." Send HIM, instead of a bill for his last installment, the statement, "No more private property," and see what he says and does. You take your choice of dozens of Paris daily newspapers; the wild kind, that say anything and lose money; the tame kind, that say nothing and make money, but very little of it; the mummified kind, that still take "Madame La Marquise" seriously, and think themselves back in the days of old Madame De Deffand and Lord Bolmgbroke. You have, also, newspapers from all the Lilliput countries nearby? English, Italian, German?and the news is in them, only you must know how to extract it. They are queer little newspapers, and if that be provincialism, make the most of it In London, for instance, Lord Rothermere's newspaper tells you that Mr. Eden, British foreign secretary, has gone to "a secret destination" in the country for a week's rest. English statesmen always go to "a secret destination," for reasons unknown to Mr. James Farley, who relaxes at the ringside, or President Roosevelt, who rests fishing, on a battleship, with fifty reporters on another ship, nearby. You wonder that a man as young as Eden should need a rest. Gladstone, at nearly twice his age, was talking in the Commons at four in the morning?but Gladstones are few, Tim Healys also. Rothermere's writer thinks Eden is all tired out after his Geneva speech, telling just why England lifted the Italian sanctions. It was he who made a speech recently, just as earnest and much louder, telling why those sanctions must NEVER be lifted. That was turning a big somersault. The English know how to do that, and you are sup posea to taugn. Eden told Baldwin what the doctor said, and Baldwin said, "By all means, my boy, hurry off to a secret destination," and Eden hurried. In America, the business man would say, "Doctor, there are a few things that I must settle first," meaning, perhaps, his income tax. He would hang on and on, and finally go to a really secret destination, in the graveyard. Driving through Normandy, from Havre, where the ships land, would interest American farmers, especially any whose lands are "worn out" after comparatively few years of cultivation. On lands in this part of the world, wheat has been grown for three hundred years, and today yields better, bigger crops than ever. In Rome, as in other places on the earth's surface, one city is piled upon another. Dig down through one and the other appears. Invasions, plagues, famines and the grinding ice have wiped them out Those that read this today are the descendants of men such as the inhabitants of the Stone age village. And still we are worried, looking down at the enemy, poverty, that may climb up and attack us in old age.

The loy- ( alists won decided victories at ?. Caspe in the Guadarrama moun- < tains where the rebels were trying ( to break through to Madrid, and at s Oviedo. 1 Mola's officers explained that he ; was waiting for the arrival of Gen- f eral Franco's forces from the 1 south, but those troops had not t been able to get very far in their t advance on the capital. Their 5 chieftains, however, professed to be s confident of ultimate victory. ; Claude G. Bowers, American am- ] bassador to Spain, was cut off from t communication with the summer quarters of his embassy at San ] Sebastian for several days, being < himself at his summer residence in 1 Fuentarrabia, close to the French ' border. He finally got in touch with the embassy and removed the 1 staff to his villa. Mr. Bowers also '' provided safe haven for a number I of other foreign diplomats and their families. He said he had ascer- i tained that not a single American | had been injured in the civil war. f American warships and liners were utilized to evacuate all the Americans in ports where their lives were in danger. Nazi-Polish Quarrel in Danzig Is Ending ' ACCORDING to announcement by a Polish news agency which ] is generally considered to be the 1 mouthpiece of the Polish foreign j office, an accord has been reached 1 between Berlin and Warsaw on the 1 policies to be followed in the Free < City of Danzig.

It is j King Edward , , an mspired expres- , sion in stone chiseled by a skillful j Canadian hand of Canada's salute ] to her fallen sons. It marks the j scene of feats of arms which his- j tory will long remember and Can- . ada can never forget. And the ground it covers is the gift of \ France to Canada." , The dedication culminated ten , years of labor and an expenditure of about $1,000,000 on erection of the memorial. The work was completed after earlier delays in construction because of difficulties in finding the 7,000 to 8,000 tons of special stone required. Walter S. All ward, Toronto architect and sculptor who designed the monument for the Canadian battle- ^ fields memorial commission, super- . vised the preparations for the unveiling.

Repudiate Debts If Lemke Loses, Says Coughlin [RATHER CHARLES E. COUGH" LIN, speaking at the home-coming celebration for William Lemke at Hankinson, N. D., advised his nearers to repudiate their debts il the Union party candidate were not elected President. "And if anybody tries to enforce them," he added, "repudiate them also." This, the priest declared, is the only way out. "There are two propositions which need to be considered for the Northwest," he asserted. "One is U save it from the hands of the bankers and insurance companies; the other to save it from drouth." ; * -. - V. v -1 OUTH PORT, N. C? WEDNE Organized Labor Split Nears the Climax IT SEEMS at this time that nothing can prevent the great schism in the ranks of American organized labor. John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, and his followers in the industrial union movement, are determined to go ahead with their plans for the organization of steel workers into a mass union, and now have expanded their program, proposing to unionize thus the employees of steel fabrication and processing plants. Moreover, Lewis and his associates have declared they will not appear before the executive council of the American Federation of Labor to stand trial on charges of "fomenting insurrection," so it appears the council can do nothing but suspend the rebels and their unions, these constituting about one third of the federation's membership. If this is done, the final decision as to expulsion of these unions will be made by the national convention in Tampa in November. Gov. Landon Accepts the Republican Nomination GOV. ALF. M. LANDON now knows officially that he is the Republican nominee for President of the United 9 States. Before more 'han 100,000 of his 7 J- fellow citizens he V stood at the south 9 entrance of the Kansas capitol in "? >' Topeka< and reft /"jji ceived the formal gfe ?m notification from 9 Congressman Snell 9 of New York, who , , was permanent Gov. Landon chairman of toe Cleveland convention. Around him were grouped a thousand leaders of the party, and in front of him were the throngs of his supporters and admirers. Here, briefly, is what Mr. Landon had to say on some of the more vital issues: Recovery ? "The record shows that these (New Deal) measures did not fit together into any definite program of recovery. Many of them worked at cross-purposes - - - ' > *1 1 TVio ? >. ana aeiearea uiemscivca. ? tion has not made the durable progress, either in reform or recovery, that we had the right to expect. . .

This beat Normanlie's record by three hours and five ninutes, but Queen Mary's course was somewhat shorter than that aken by her rival, and the latter [till holds the speed by hour rec>rd. Flying out to greet the British iner, a big seaplane piloted by Hapt. VV. W. Wincapaw fell to the iea. The nine persons aboard were kicked up by a boat from the liner Exermont, but one of them, E. T. Ramsdell, a Boston newspaper phoographer, was fatally injured. Sir Henry Wellcome, Scientist, Dies ?IR HENRY WELLCOME, who J was born in a log cabin in Wissonsin 83 years ago and who be:an|e one of England's greatest icientists and explorers, died in London following an operation. His [cientific achievements ranged :rom the establishment of physioogical laboratories to pioneering in he field of archaeological survey hrough the use of airplanes. He von the Royal Humane society life saving medal in 1885 and as late is 1927 founded the Lady Stanley Maternity hospital in Uganda, Cen;ral Africa. 3oard Is Appointed to Study Drouth Remedies SCATTERED rains over limited 5 areas brought only temporary elief from the heat and drouth, ind then warm weather started a new advance over jjlfSBj the corn belt. The federal crop report~jF ing board in Wash&&& ington said the & drouth was as severe as,that of 1934 L ?|MfW 11 and worse than any I^SHb since the western mMBb country was settled. The serious condifl| tions prevailed over . "T _ practically the enM. L. CocV tjre area from the Rocky mountains in Montana to the Hudson valley in New York and southward over western Pennsylvania, central Maryland, the Ohio valley, parts of Arkansas, and most >f Oklahoma. It was announced in Washington that President Roosevelt had creat2d a national committee to study measures for remedying conditions in the drouth region through utilization of natural resources. The :ommittee is headed by Morris L. Eooke, rural electrification adminstrator. Other members are CoL Richard C. Moore of the army engineers; John C. Page, acting commissioner of the bureau of reclamation; Frederick H. Fowler of he national resources committee; Rexford G. Tugwell. resettlement administrator, and Harry L. Hopcins, works progress administrator. Mr. Roosevelt intends to make a trip through the drouth area late in August. Dusting of Eleanor Holm From Olympic Team PROBABLY the controversy over the ousting of Eleanor Holm from the American Olympic team is destined to be long lived; but it is difficult to see how the committee could have done otherwise in the circumstances. The backnand swimming champion, who is Mrs. Jarrett in private life, refused to obey the training rules and indulged in several drinking parties on the ship that carried the athletes to Germany. She disregarded warnings, and afterward said the officials knew she liked "a good time, particularly champagne." Her defenders seem to think she was old enough and experienced enough to be permitted to do as she pleased, regardless ol the effect on discipline. Many Quitting the CCC to Take Private Jobs Director robert fechner reports that nearly 13,000 members of the Civilian Conservation Corps left that organization during June-to accept private employment, and he said this was largely attributable to the general improvement in business conditions, and in part to the practical education given the men. private monopolistic control." Relief?"Let me emphasize that whjle we propose to follow a policy of economy in government expenditures, those who need relief will get it. We will not take our economies out of the allotments to the unemployed. We will take them out of the hides of the political exploiters." Agriculture?"We shall establish effective soil conservation and erosion control policies in connection with a national land use and flood prevention program?and keep it all out of politics. Our farmers i are entitled to all of the home market they can supply without injustice to the consumer. We propose a policy that protects them in this right . . . We propose to pay cash benefits in order to cushion our farm families against the disastrous effects of price fluctuations and to protect their standard of living." Labor?"The right of labor to organize means to me the right of employees to join any type of union they prefer, whether it covers their plant, their craft or their industry. It means that, ;n the absence of a union contract, an employee has an equal right to join a union or to refuse to join a union." i Constitution?"It is not my belief that the Constitution is above i change. The people have the right, by the means they have prescribed, I to change their form of /government to fit their wishes . , , But [ change must come by and through the people and not by usurpation. . . . The Republican party, howi ever, does not believe that the people wish to abandon the American I form of government." I State Rights ? "There has now appeared in high places a new and dangerous impulse. This is the impulse to take away and lodge in the Chief Executive, without the people's consent, the powers which they have kept in their state governments or which they have reserved in themselves. In its ultimate effect upon the welfare of the whole people, this is the most important question now before us. Shall we continue to delegate more and more power to the Chief Executive or do we desire to preserve the American form of government?" _____ I "Now Is the Time to Buy or Rent Farm Lands" According to a report put out by the National Association of Manufacturers, "excessive specula! tton in farm lands appears at last to have ended and opportunities for farm operators to rent land or purchase on equitable terms are now > restored." The report, prepared by the as; sociation's committee on agricul! tural co-operation, was stated to i be based on an analysis of the re> lationship between farm commodity prices and the market value of farm real estate. 4 SPAY, AUGUST 5, 1936 Silk for High St] By CHERIE ] Midsummer means sports, and this yea? sportswear in i the fashion picture meant silks, 1 for every outdoor activity from j goli to swimming or just lazing 1 about. ] The smart golfer, this season, 1 wears a simple shirtwaist frock of washable end-to-end or striped silk > shirting or of classic silk crepe of narvelous quality or some one or ' other of the new linenlike silks, if not silk shantung. These smart ' and practical silk shirtmaker dresses often have fly fronts, tucked bosoms ant pockets for your golf tees as the model centered in the picture displays. Blue 1 silk crepe fashions this stylish 1 and practical frock. Very feminine and graceful for tennis are short dresses of soft silk weaves such as silk jacquards ! or Chinese siik aamasics wmcn are light, cool and comfortable. They are usually cut short, with sunback decolletage, offering a refreshing contrast on the courts to , the shortS and slacks that are so commonly worn. New for the tennis enthusiast is a white jacquard silk crepe frock cut on princess lines with a gored handling, the jacquard patterning showing lively little tennis-playing figures. See a model of this description to the left in the illustration. Note it has a squared decolletage and wide shoulder straps. Culottes are also 1 a practical choice for tennis dresses. For beach and bathing very smart women are wearing silk. The newest mode going is the little j dressmaker suits fashioned whim- ( sically of plain or printed silk | crepes, silk shantungs and other I novelty silks. Kind to the figure are they, being made in one piece effects with pleated or flared SAILOR SUITS Br CHERIE NICHOLAS Cay -"^8 m ' sHHH fcSHBBilSi I Fashions for girls are playing up < nautical themes. It is sai'd that < "back to school"- clothes will adopt < such details as lacings and ma- I rine insignia. The sailor suit in i navy and white of linen or light i wool is an immediate favorite and | will remain important throughout l fall. The "gob" beret in white felt or pi,. - with sprightly ribbon t ends over the hair at back is ever < so smart to wear with the new 1 sailor-inspired dresses. \ k. .. pie Sports Wear VICHOLAS shorts. The most practical have natching jackets reaching just to the bottom of the suits as you see pictured to the right in the group. I rhis model is of daisy-printed, dependably washable silk crepe. The shorts are pleated and the loose, matching swagger jacket has a youthful Peter Pan collar. For the girl with a perfect figure there are also the silk lastex suits which fit the body like a glove and have touches of dressmaker detail at the bosom. The newest trick is to wear them with one's jewels. There is such a variety in silk bathing and beach suits this summer that you can have two or three entirely different types in your outing wardrobe. Paiamas are a "must have" for a vacation outfit, whether they are elaborate models that must stay on the beach or in the cabana, or the womanlike strictly tailored types that can safely receive guests in your own home or go out to call informally at an intimate friend's. They are made in tailored silk linens, silk shantungs, novelty sports silks, silk crepes. Bathing suits with halter bodices and wrap around skirts made of print silks in gay peasant design are also very goodlooking, and add infinitely to the picturesque beach panorama. The craze for prints increases rather than languishes. It seems to be prints for everything and instead of growing weary of them there is that ii. them that intrigues more and more as the season progresses. If the entire costume be not of print then fashion offers a :ompromise in the way of accessories of vivid silk print Such accents as belt, triangle scarf and bag of colorful silk print enliven ' many costumes. ? Western Newspaper Union. BRAIDED ELASTIC MAKES DANDY BELT Golf is a game where enthusi- ' asts are offered more accessories a season than can be squeezed into a dozen clubroom lockers. All are intended to improve a duffer's game, but most of them turn out to be gadgets that fail their purpose. One really successful accessory, however, that will be very much in evidence on the golf course this summer, is a belt made of braid- 1 ed, silk-covered, elastic cord. The < belt looks like one of the corded i belts so popular this season for j sports wear.
