“THIRTY MINUTES TOO LATE!”

“THE British are always 30 minutes too late! That was the favorite saying of the late FranklinBouillon, for many years head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the French Chamber of Deputies. What he meant wag that always, in times of crisis, the Government of Great Britain refuses to commit itself until the die is cast. hen, the French statesman observed, she usually comes in, and on the right side, but to late to head off an otherwise avoidable war. There is a good deal in what he said. Despite reports of sweeping concessions on the part of Czechoslovakia, discharge and punishment of those implicated in the frontier incidents, and so on, the news from central Europe becomes more and more ominous every day. hesitates. President Roosevelt hag said that we are prepared to defend Canada. And Secretary of State Hull has repeatedly called for the solidarity of the democratic nations against “international anarchy.” But the British Government has vet to give either France or Czechoslovakia the definite pledge which, as Franklin-Bouillon suggested, might stave off conflict. We do not for a moment pretend to say that Great Britain should tell Paris or Praha that, right or wrong, she would come into a war on their side. stupid and dangerous. all possible, honorable concessions having been made, and

Hines Trial Proves That Policy Racket Isn't the Million-Dollar Business It Was Supposed to Be.

EW YORK, Sept. 10.—Whatever the outcome of the Jimmy Hines trial there will be a deflation of the tablecloth estimates of the amount of money involved in the nickel and dime policy racket, It takes a hundred onse-cent plays, 20 nickel plays or 10 dime plays to make a dollar's worth of business, and still the turnover in New York City alone was reckoned at $100,000,000 and even as high as half a billion dollars a year. The testimony, however, has dealt with mere hundreds and thousands, and in the first serious presentation of actual evidence there has been no confirmation of the fantastic guesses which in the past were repeated so often that the public weakly half accepted them as truth, It is well that this glimpse of reality has been afforded, because the people, encouraged by a few careless or gullible writers and politicians, had come to believe that such business, if diverted to a public lottery, would be the answer to the taxpayer's prayer. The late Rep. Edward A. Kenney, of New Jersey, made a political specialty of the advocacy of a Federal lottery. He used to estimate that the annual take of sweepstakes, lotteries, pools and policy rackets in this country was from $3,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000. This dream figure was very tempting, but it had no relation to the known facts.

at all the horse and dog tracks is only a little more than a quarter of a billion dollars a year. In the Hines trial, dealing with the operations of a policy racket which has been touted as the greatest in the land, there is no mention of large amounts. Payments of $500 for political protection have been mentioned, and the scale of operations, even if the figures of the prosecution be accepted, was paltry by comparison with all previous thoughts on the subject. The press and public also permit themselves to be misled by reports of seizures of lottery tickets, counterfeit or authentic, of vast face value. If tickets with a face value of $600,000 or $2.000.000 are seized, the figure is meaningless. There is no indication that any such amount would have been sold.

Workers, Not the Rich, Will Pay For Any Government Money Plan.

EW YORK, Sept. 10.—Thgge who imagine that wonders can be worked with that magic sub-

Now among our people there were in 1935-38 some 70,310 persons getting $25.000 a vear and over. It is these 70 thousand persons who are in the minds of the philosopher of the hustings when he promises to the aged and the helpless and to ail and sundry, in

They are startingly lifelike.

Gen. Johnson Says— Hitler Deceives His Own People

When He Declares No War Blockade’ Could Starve Germany Into Defeat.

: A ETHANY BEACH, Del, Sept. 10.—A striking part. of Mr. Hitler's first Nuremberg speech told the German people that, if war comes, they need not fear being starved into defeat by any blockade shutting off their supplies of food and military material, That is exactly how Germany was beaten in 1918. That was not merely because her routes were blocked by hostile armies and navies. There were a few gaps left but even these were closed by an almost; world-wide Allied economic strategy. She was des nied vital Chilean nitrates by several clever enemy financial moves which cornered the whole supplys Similar action beat her at the sources of her Swed= ish iron, Spanish mules and elsewhere hides, leathen, rubber, oil and various rare metals necessary for inwdispensable alloys.

That is that Germany would have access to outside sources for shortage items. y; In the first place, she has neither sufficient cash nor credit to buy.

Hitler—much less an alliance plus an Italian sea triumph, Mr. Hitler's boast of military self-sufficiency is bunk and bluff except on one assumption—a swift. and successful invasion of Czechoslovakia plus French and British inaction.

A Blue Ribbon Jury Is Appointed To Name the Best on Capitol Hill,

EW YORK, Sept. 10—Once a year the seniory at most universities vote on their favorite prafessor, the best-dressed student, the one most likely to succeed, and so on. If it’s good enough for collegians, correspondents in Washington might stake themselves to the same privilege for their own entertainment and for the edification of the general public, I would be interested to learn what reporters think about the Senators and Representatives and such like who perform before them. This would be a really expert judgment by a blue ribbon jury. ? A man from Oklahoma, Maine or Texas goes from his home town to the House, and the constituents who sent him there know little about him during his absence save that he is having a wonderful time or sleeping under blankets, or hoth, A Congressman does not have to be very wakeful to create the impression of great activity for his constituents. Newspapermen have the capacity to cut through the dust cover of a legislator and find out what lies underneath. Naturally I am not arguing that every reporter is a superman in wisdom. I merely advance the modest assertion that he is less likely than the average voter to be fooled by a curve-ball orator. He sees so many visiting firemen. Moreover, anybody as« signed to cover the House or the Senate can save himself a lot of time by swapping estimates with his colleagues. Nobody wants to sit and listen to speeches all day long,
