"Give Light and the People

Russia’s Big Chance
A TN their effort to block Dictator Hit-
ler’s scheme of conquest, Great
Britain, France and Poland have burn-
ed their bridges behind them. It is
no longer any mere, figure of speech
_to say, therefore, that the peace of
Europe is now definitely in the bal-
ance.
Much,' if not everything, depends
upon the nature of the support these
powers may be able to rally to their

an immediate outbreak of general war.
In occupying Albania, Mussolini ap-
parently is acting in preparation for
further domination of the Rome-Berlin
axis over the whole Balkan peninsula.
Although ultimately this would im-
pinge severely on the British life-line
through the Mediterranean, dispatches
from London indicate that the occupa-
tion of Albania will not be resisted
by Great Britain.
This action by Mussolini is in vio-
lation of an agreement with Great
Britain to preserve the status quo in
the Mediterranean, exactly as Hitler's
recent continental moves were in vio-
Germany and Italy can reach those
supplies only over trade routes con- -
trolled by the British fleet. Does it
seem reasonable that Hitler and Mus-
solini, having come this far, will be
content to leave such Vital raw ma-
terials dependent upon the permission
of the British Empire? That is the
real issue. Present expansion on the
continent probably is preliminary to a
challenge of British sea power.
That challenge, however, is likely to
be some time in arriving. Although
the Berlin-Rome combination is power-
ful in the air and quite strong in sub-
marines, it lacks adequate surface
naval strength to face the showdown
with reasonable prospects of . success.
Time must be allowed in which to pre-
pare for this.

THEREFORE from the point of
1 view of Hitler and Mussolini, the
logical course would be to push con-
tinental expansion just as far as pos-
sible short of provoking a general war.
That has been the policy thus far, to
strain up to, but just short of, forcing
war. Why\ should Hitler and Musso-
lini want a continental war when they
are advancing steadily without it?
Their game would seem to be to pur-
sue this course while preparing for the
day when British sea power would, be
challenged. The Balkan advance, the
demands regarding Tunisia, the steady
Japanese advance southward in the Pa-
cific, are all preparatory.
The issue could, of course, be pre-
cipitated at any time by the British
and French, but thus far the disposi-
tion seems to be to wait, meanwhile
seeking to check Germany by bringing
pressure through Poland and, if possi-
ble, through Soviet Russia. Britain is
not particularly well situated to con-
duct a land war, and, is not likely to
force the issue on that ground.
With the continental aspects of this
situation, the United States has only
remote concern. It is in connection
with seapower that we have a direct
interest, for as one of the first naval
powers, we would not be indifferent to
a drastic shift of naval control from
Great Britain to Germany.

biggest army in the world. It num-
bers something like 2,500,000 men. It
is backed by inexhaustible reserves in
manpower, , raw materials and food
stuffs. And, according to Marshal Vo-
roshilov, the Red commissar of national
defense, it can out-shoot, out-fly and
out-fight any other army or group of
armies that might be brought against
it. It has more planes, more tanks
and more horse-power per man be-
hind it.
■ Now over here, in America, Com-
munists and their fellow travelers
never tire of telling us how much they
believe in democracy. Indeed, they
seem to think they are the only real
friends of democracy to be found.
Throughout the civil war in Spain they
chided the United States, England and
France for not intervening “to save
democracy." And they kept up their
irony and sarcasm throughout the epi-
sodes of Ethiopia, Austria, Sudeten-
|and, Czechoslovakia and Memel. We
were beneath contempt, it seemed, for
refusing to go to the rescue.
DACK in the winter of 1917-18,
D these same democracies—the Unit-
ed States, Great Britain and France
— stood with their backs to the wall,
~ facing the same Teutonic foe. For
them it looked certain defeat.
• Then, as now, Soviet Russia had an
opportunity to help save the democ-
raries. But she made a separate peace,
at Brest-Litovsk, and left them to do
or die alone. Afterwards, some offer-
ed the explanation that they were war
weary, lacked equipment, and so on.
Today they have no such excuse.
They boast of being the greatest mili-
tary power on the globe and raring
to go. If that is the case, they are
• now in a position to stop Herr Hitler
in his tracks and insure the peace of
Europe for an indefinite time to come.
But Dictator Stalin said in his Mos-
cow speech of March 10, he doesn’t
propose to be dragged into conflict
with Germany as "a cat’s paw” to pull
British and French chestnuts out of
the fire. That is as lame a reason
for not taking sides in the present
prisis as was Lenin’s in 1917. The
truth is, the fuehrer’s watchword is
drang nach osten—on to the east, in
the direction of Russia's Ukraine and
beyond. Russia is right in Herr Hit-
ler's line of march—not Britain and
France. The menace to the Soviet Un-
ion is direct; to the others, largely
indirect.
: Yet one firmly spoken word from
Moscow to Berlin—assuming she is as
powerful and as ready as she claims
—and the fog of fear now enveloping
Europe might disappear.

* Bells for the carillon at the New
York World’s Fair were cast in bronze
at Tournai, Belgium.
Then it occurred to us that merely
listing a man’s name and his salary
didn’t tell the whole story. So we
got hold of a federal income tax blank
and did some figuring.
’ For example, Louis B. Mayer is
named as the one who raked in the
country’s largest salary in 1937—$1,-
296,503. But the federal income tax
on that salary, assuming Mr. Mayer
had no other income, doubtless a
faulty assumption, was $907,326.31. So
it would be fairer all around to say
not that Lowes, Inc., and Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer paid the federal govern-
ment $907,326.31 for the privilege of
paying Mr. Mayer $389,176.69. And
that still more of what was left of that
salary went to pay Mayer’s state in-
come tax and other taxes.
By the same token, it would be more
accurate to say, not that the American
Tobacco Co. paid its president, George
W. Hill, a salary of $380,976, but that
the American Tobacco Co. paid the
federal government $218,877.20 for the
privilege of paying Mr. Hill $162,098.80,
with which Mr. Hill had to pay his
state income tax and other levies.
The same is true of President Wal-
ter S. Gifford of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. Out of his sal-
ary of $209,650, the federal income
tax collector got $101,663, and Mr.
Gifford and his family and other tax
collectors got $107,987.
And there’s Carole Lombard, the
beautiful movie actress who recently
made the front pages by telling, how
much she really enjoyed paying large
income taxes. She should be happy.
Out of her $314,000, the federal gov-
ernment took $171,994, leaving her
$142,006 for other taxes and other
purposes.
Throughout these figures we have
applied the surtax rates the salaries
indicate. If any of the above enjoyed
incomes outside their salaries, their
taxes were computed in still higher
surtax brackets.
We’re not feeling sorry for Mr. May-
er or Mr. Hill or Mr. Gifford or Miss
Lombard—not a bit. They have plenty
left over to enjoy the rich foods and
‘ gravies of luxurious living. They man-
age to do quite well for themselves.
But it seems only fair to remark that,
at the same time, they also do quite
well by the federal treasury, not to
mention the state and local govern-
ment treasuries. ____________________

a regime of hate. And why, too.
in my opinion, no nations should
dread the Hitler spread very far
in Central “Europe.
The Bible, on which our govern-
ments. laws and social life are
founded, still is the stepping stone
to the highest form of civiliza-
tion.
Our belief in it, that man is
of Divine origin, is the chief dis-
tinction that marks us front the
lower animals.
If Herr Hitler chooses the
course which it seems he has, any
schoolboy can predict what the
outcome will be. But here are
the sentences:
“A common Nazi attack — we
protest against Jesus being im-
posed on us as a leader and pat-
tern. We believe no more in the
Holy Spirit. The German people
need no Bible.”
This writer goes on to say that
the high Germans sneer at the
interpretation of Christ as a
mythical creature made by Jew-
ish fanatics like Matthew, and
materialistic rabbis like Paul, and
by half-breeds like Augustine. Ger-
man writers attack the principles
of Christianity for believing in a
Jewish God who they say is a
vengeful tyrant that no decent
man can accept. And that tells
the story..
Here is why I believe the above
spells doom to the Nazi power.
As long as a man believes he is
battling to establish the divine
right of his God and his race, he
will suffer any hardships and face
the conquest with joy in his heart,
with high hope in his soul, and
with faith in his ability as well
as charity in his purpose.
But let him once refute faith
in that God, and descend to brute
force for control, and he soon be-
comes too beastly to rejoice In
anything. Regardless of what
other power it may carry along
with it, he still will flinch from
its contact of mastery. Because
every fit of rage leaves the rager
weaker and more spent than it
does the object of his wrath. No
brute force can move without such
storms, and any ruler who uses
it descends from bad to worse un-
til his own inner opposition, from
one fit of rage to another, will
swiftly shake him to pieces, and
reduce him to a spiritual cring-
| ing miser,, more afraid of what
| something is going to do to his
own state of mind than anything
that could happen to his physical
body.
What anyone may say about
the Bible, or its divine origin, the
fact remains, from history, person-
al experience, and human nature,
that it has told the truth many
times over on the overthrow of
this particular phase of human
experience, a fact which the Nazi
regime seems to have overlooked.

STATE REFERENDUM
AND RECALL URGED
Editor, The Press:
IF WE ARE going-to preach
democracy let’s be democratic and
let the majority of the - people of
this state rule, and not be ruled
by any one bunch of organized
politicians...*
Most every state representative
was elected on his promise to
pay or cut administration cost of
pensions and the abolition of
many other expenses such as use-
less boards, bureaus and branches
of state government.
To date they have spent thou-
sands of dollars and have done
very little except wrangle. Again
I say, let’s be democratic. The
people voted three to one for a
pension of $30 for the aged and
needy, and now the politicians
have taken it over and created a
pension commission and pay some
one amount and some another but
pay no one the $30 except those
who administer this useless board.
The administrators draw more
pay per day than many of the
aged draw for one month and it
all comes from the old age fund.
When three out of four Texans
vote for anything I think any
Democrat should be willing to ac-
cept it. The people gave Gover-
nor O’Daniel a majority over a
number of seasoned politicians and
I think we should give him every
possible co-operation.
O’Daniel did not make the peo-
ple of Texas pension-minded. We
voted for $30 per month for the
aged long before he even dreamed
of making the race for governor.
He received a big vote because
he held out, to these three-to-one
voters, a promise to do all he
could to help them get what they
were promised.
I see no place where he has
, failed, and I hope the people will
continue to back him in his effort
to grant the people what they are
entitled to. The people are
watching every move at Austin,
both of our solons and the gover-
nor.
If the people do not get re-
sults from these representatives
they will probably ask next for an
initiative, referendum and recall,
which I think is badly needed.
When the masses say they want a
law and so amend the Constitu-
tion and then have this, as well
as their pension plan, blocked, it
is time to take action.
The people are soured on these
useless boards and job-creating
politicians who care nothing for
democracy or anything other than
to feather their own nests and
create a job for some relative or
friend..
I take The Press and appre-
ciate the space given the readers.
I read every letter and think the
exchange of opinions is very
helpful.

SIDE GLANCES . By George Clark

MY LEARNED friends tell me
that, among nearly all ancient
races, since the beginning of his-
tory, there was a festival much
like Easter at about this time of
the year—the vernal equinox or

of spring. All ores
were much .

man beings alone who do it. All
life does it. Animals and reptiles •
shed their dingy winter coats and
come out in new and shining rai-
ment. The whole earth does it-
trees, grass, birds and flowers. It
is a clean, fresh start for every-
body and everything. It is no won-
der that men from the start have
followed nature in this annual ren-
ovation.
But it is a pity that, generally
speaking, this new blossoming in
humanity at Easter is only skin-
deep. At Christmas most people
really do bathe in brotherly love
for a few days. Of course, all that
usually wears off with the New .
Year’s headaches. But it is good
while it lasts. Easter rarely pro-
duces anything but surface sweet-
ness. Most wars have started
shortly after the spring bonnets
have had their day.
* * *
TF ever there was a time in this
1 generation when it would have
been well for the world to burn
its old garments of hatred, suspi-
cion. unfairness, greed and inhu-
manity—this is that time. If we
could only do as all life is doing
now and take a fresh start, we
might yet save what is left of civ-
ilization.
In Europe, the issues now seem
so clear that more could be gained
by negotiation than war. This is
certainly true because nothing but
ruin could be gained by war and
if the nations could sit down to-
gether with any calmness and rea-
. son much could be had by mutual
concession — protection of minori-
ties, more justice in territorial dis- |
tribution, less trade strangulation,
refin an cing, disarmament and,
perhaps, peace.
Some say, "This is no time to
do it—the 'democracies’ are not 1 1
sufficiently armed.” That is pre-,
cisely to say that there will never
be a time to do it and that a
peaceful outcome is impossible. It
is to admit that the whole Euro-
pean conflict is between a deter- 1
mination on the one side to pre-
serve all present boundaries and,
on the other, to readjust them,
and that the "have" nations will 1
not negotiate with the "have-not" 1
nations until they are strong
enough to resist any change 1
which means that they will not ne- 1
gotiate at all.

HAPPY Easter! This seems
1 wrong. It daily becomes clear- 1
er that the military outcome of
war is right now so certain that
the reason there is as yet no war
is the old school-yard reason that
"one’s afraid and t’other dassent.” 1
This is the best time of all to ne-
gotiate, but there is precious little 1
Easter spirit among nations.

American. The nation so resented
that meanness that, on Easter
Sunday, she sang from the steps
of Lincoln Memorial to the great-

out of LIFE. And, from that day
I have endeavored to make every
hour count... trying to help both,
myself and the Other Fellow.”
At this stage of the game I said
to him: "In your mind, what real-
ly counts in this life?" His reply
was: “Life counts when we get
enjoyment out of living.”
Allow me to ask you: Do YOU.
my dear reader, get enjoyment
out of living. If not, why not? -
In other words,' let's "take stock"
and endeavor to find out the
WHY.

Half covering her lovely
