*jsd France at Munich is the strangely subservient atti-
tude which the press of the latter two countries has adopt-
ed recently.
When Mr. Chamberlain returned from the dissecting
room at Munich, the British press suddenly dropped its at-
titude of hostility toward Nazism and Fascism. Harsh car-
toons of the dictators disappeared, as if by magic. Even
the opposition press launched a subtle campaign to keep in

When Hitler in a fiery address threatened the British
jfj people with war if they dared return to office men life Duff
f-" Cooper, Anthony Eden or Winston Churchill, the British
pres? remained siient.
It is true this censorship and a similar policy in France
were voluntarily imposed by the newspapers themselves, on
the theory that it was the duty of the press to co-operate
with their governments rather than place obstacles in the
path of exceedingly delicate diplomatic negotiations.
Nevertheless, censorship of the press, whether volun-
tary or enforced, is the first step toward dictatorship in any
Si I country.
Wherever dictators have risen to power, suppression
of the press has been their first step. It happened in Rus-
sia, Italy, Germany, Mexico and Cuba.
For more than a century dictators have known that as
Jong as the people have a voice in a free press dictatorship
am not survive.
Napoleon was one of the most proficient dictators the
3E. modem world has known. When he was at the zenith of
his power, he wrote;
“A journalist is a gambler, a censurer, a giver of ad-
’flee, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations.
But it is going to take intelligent effort and originality
in planning to complete a new-patern industry. Discussion
of what Texas has to manufacture is simply thrashing over
old straw. We all know that we have the material. How-
to apply the magic wand of the new chemical science to
Texas resources is the problem ahead of us; it is to this
that we should lend our energies and our thoughts.—Dallas

RESOURCES AND INDUSTRY
A i* ~ '**“ 1 111
In a sense the greatness of the resources of Texas has
stood in the way of their utilization through industrial de-
velopment They have been so patently a sound reason for
. adustrkS development that Texans have drifted somehow
into the attitude of “letting the resources do it.” In letters
i# bis friends, Stephen F. Austin talked of the vastness of
Taste resources and the logical development of manufac-
turing that would come as a result. Texans are still talk-
®g» yet the state produces in the net value of manufac tured
ipodst considerably less than half per capita what is pro-
meed by the nation as a whole and only about one-fifth
P* capita what some of the industrialized states of the
North and East produce.
What .Texans need to learn is that natural resources
can't play George in “let George do it” without some intel-
ligent co-operation. The Industrialization program of Gov-
ernor-Elect G'Dasue! ought to begin, not with a study of
the resources available, but with an inquiry into what will
be required to turn them into processed goods. We know
that we have the resources; obviously we do not know
much about processing them. Dr, E. P. Schoch, professor
of chemistry at the University of Texas, gets to the bot-
tom of the difficulty when he calls attention to the fact
that Texas. Jacking present opportunity for development
on the conventional coal-iron-limestone industrial basis,
mmt exercise its ingenuity in building an industry on a
mw foundation. Dr, Schoch believes that Texas 'has in
view of the recent development of the chemical industries,
«v*n greater opportunity for industrial progrss, because of
Ra> gnat cellulose, vegetable oil and miscellaneous agricul-!
tiara! and nomnetalUc mineral resources, than, it would have {
W it: possessed merely possibilities for industrial develop. I
