SINGLE-HANDED PEACE S where there is no freedom of the press, we quote from a dispatch written by the New York Times correspondent, in Berlin telling of the big welcome accorded Herr Hitler on his return from Berlin: “The German people as represented in Berlin united wholeheartedly in the demonstration, for they feel that their Fuehrer kept them out of war. “How Germany came to the brink of war is not so clear to them except that the machinations of the devilish Czechs brought it about. For the German people are still jenorant of President Roosevelt's second message to Herr Hitler, Prime Minister Chamberlain’s proffered guarantee of Czech fulfillment, Myr. Chamberlain's appeal to Premier Renito Mussolini and Sig. Mussolini's intervention

consequence.”

AN OLD GHOST WALKS Qo. birthplace of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League, joined most of the rest of the nation five years ago in burying prohibition. But now, in that State, the supposed corpse ig displaying signs of renewed life. Since 1933, nearly 900 of the 1340 townships have elected to put themselves under some form of local nrohibition. Petitions already on file insure that in 32 of Ohio's 88 counties one or more voting districts will hold elections next month on some phase of the beer or liquor question. Dry forces predict that, as a result of the November voting, 1000 townships will be under their complete or partial control, Why thig new trend toward a dry Ohio? bug Citizen gives the following reasons:

“Lax enforcement of liquor laws by the State Liquor |

Control Department. Disregard by State officials of population quotas in granting retail liquor permits, Traffic fatalities and accidents caused by drunken drivers, Violation of closing hours by night clubs and roadhouses in residential districts. neighborhood of schools and churches. Operation of slot machines and gambling devices in drinking places.” In other words, politics plus the greed and short-gight-edness of the sellers of hard liquor and beer must bear most of the blame for outraging public opinion and ereating renewed sentiment for prohibition. Ohio is by no means the only state where this ig true. Unless many states are to go dry again, the liquor industry itself must put on the brakes and stop inviting its own destruction,

placed by Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Kensuke

Horinouchi, This week the change was made official by an |

announcement at Tokyo. That Ambassador Saito will be missed is to express it mildly. It would be no exaggeration to say that few of his predecessors had more friends in America, which, under the circumstances, is a magnificent tribute. For certainly no Japanese envoy was ever called upon to function in more difficult times. The activities of Japan's war party in China have met with almost 100 per cent opposition in this eounvet Mr. Saito, while unflinchingly loyal to hig nation, never lost the friendship of the Americans who knew him, Mr. Saito has not been in good health for the last year, | We wich him gpeedy recovery, long life and the best of luck. | Mr. Horinouchi is well known and already hag many warm friends in this country.

Seeing a Likeness Between These Nazis in New York and New Jersey And Henlein's Sudeten Germans.

EW YORK, Oct. 7.—The German Nazis in New York and New Jersey are following the-same gen= eral plan of conspiracy against this easy-going democracy that succeeded in Czechoslovakia. Fritz Kuhn, the leader of the bund, like Konrad Henlein, Hitler's deputy in the Sudetenland, poses citizenship in the gountry in whieh he serves Der Fuehrer, Henlein had a Czechoslovakian passport and as a citizen of that nation employed for her destruction the rights of free speech and assembly which minorities do not possess in Germany. Henlein hag now finally erughed all liberties for minorities in the land where he complained of oppression. The treachery in Czechoslovakia hegan modestly, and the bund movement here thus far avoids any mention of anschiuss with the Reich. Much remains to be done before the neighborhoods in which the bund members are congregated may frankly identify themselves as islands of Germandom and appeal to Hitler to save them. Nevertheless, Herr Kuhn and the Nazi consular | diplomatic forces in this country would be justified | in looking toward a time when, undet pressure of distress, the United States, like Czechoslovakia, might

be unable to resist. In such circumstances, of course, | | Mussolini would be tempted to rescue certain island |

That was the Duce's charge against Czecho= slovakia, and he deemed it sufficient te justify the dismemberment of a nation which, like this country, thought it held a valid charter. Mussolini, in his official press, hag remarked that we are a nation of gangsters and lack culture, and t is important to remember in this connection that the Rome-Berlin axis holds that mongrel nations without eulture have no right to exist, Gangster nations, of course, may be shot on sight. “Mongrel” is not a kind word, but candor compels the admission that the United States is the home of a composite race. »

THOSE SAME SWEDES SWEDEN'S evolution from a dominantly agricultural to a dominantly industrial society has been contemporary with, swifter than, our own, The report of the President's commission on industrial me in Sweden tells how those cool-headed Swedes went about the job of adjusting themselves to changing conditions, In 1906 the Swedish Emplovers Federation and the Confederation of Trade Unions entered into an agreement, the employers recognizing the workers’ right to organize and the workers recognizing the employers’ right to manage imdustries. They decided not to quarrel about the check-off, the closed shop and other collateral issues, but 0 bargain with each other in good faith.

Gen. Johnson Says—

The Betting Commissioners Look For Lehman to Repeat, and Yet One Can Do a Lot of Speculating.

ALISBURY, Md., Oct. 7.—The New York elections

this year are a matter of national concern. If Mr. Dewey should lick Governor Lehmaa it would be a terrific setback to Mr. Roosevelt in ¥is home state, not to mention the even worse wow:d 'f third New Dealers Wagner and Mead should be defeated for the Senate. There seems to be less chince of that, at least so far as Senator Wagner is .-:icerned, than the possible knocking off of Mr. Lehman, : That is not what the betting commissioners ars saying. The odds strongly favor the Governor. Yet I have talked with wise and important money that is taking these odds, It argues this way. In the 1936 landslide, Mr. Roosevelt carried the state by nearly ones million majority over Mr. Landon, but Mr. Lehman rolled up only about half that total over Mr, Bleakley. Some of Mr. Lehman's majority must have resulted from the Roosevelt state avalanche. Not only is Mr. Roosevelt not running this year, but it may be doubted whether he and the Governor are really in the same party of “liberals-really-in-the-hearts” which the President is striving to create, ” ” EARLY every one of these considerations is plus for Mr. Dewey and minus for the Governor. Those who take this view say that it is necessary only to switch about 260,000 votes from Mr, Lehman's 1936. majority to lick him in 1938. : I also talked to the Democratic high commandabout this argument, all of which it admits. But it: says that 200.000 of Catholic Mr. Bleaklev's vote was Roman and influenced by that away from traditional

”

Democratic moorings, which won't happen this time.. .

It claims that Governor Lehman's administrative rec-* ord is almost as good as it can be and that Mr. Dewey would be in a very embarrassing position to attack: either it or the Governor, ’ He can't, so runs the argument, attack the Gov-: ernor on the New York crime and racket record, because it was the Governor himself who forced Mr. Dewey's appointment to abolish it, He can hardly. attack the Governor's political philosophy because it is so close to his own. ” o ” . N the other hand, it is urged, beyond a proved: adroitness as a prosecutor in criminal law, Mr. Dewey's administrative record is a complete blank. On this the Governor can and will attack Mr, Dewey and also on the fact that having been just elected tofinish one outstanding job, Mr. Dewey ran out on fit. But there is a good counter attack, Governor Lehman did some running out also. He had determined as finally as a man can. that he ought te run for the Senate. A third New Deal didn’t want - him in the Senate and Tammany did want him for’ Governor as the only man who could beat Dewey and : forced him to do what he believed he ought not to do. Thus there is plenty to say on hoth sides. It will, at least be no pushover for Governor Lehman. ‘

champion of progressive movements are content: with too shallow an examination of Mr. Patterson's position, Indeed, he has been candid enough to admit in some of his editorials that his support for certain economic reforms was based less on any passionate desire for the more abundant life than upon the shrewd conviction that the waves should temper the wind rather than risk the hurricane, It is difficult to quarrel with the doctrine of enlightened self-interest when its objectives serve to help, even in part, the aspirations of mankind in general. But there be those who. have taken up with progressive causes out of sheer shrewdness who now seem willing to quit them out of the same motivation, Many publicists and politicians abroad think that they have hit upon a sound device for keeping the herd tractable. Cows can be made to yield cream even if they are not content. The new psychology of the industrialists is to induce them to remain within their stalls by scaring the life out of ‘them.

What About That Bitter Enmity?

The middle classes, in particular, are being asked to accept Hitler and Chamberlain as public henefac= tors on the allegation that they have saved the world” from the dread of Red revolution. Those who say that Neville dragged Europe back from the brink of war seem unwilling to face the charge that he did as much as anybody to lead his country and the small nations which trusted him to the edge of the precipice. One of the legends abouf New Dealer Joe iz so. feeble a folk tale that he himself has not been able to resist kidding about it upon occasion. . This is the rumor which holds that there is a : bitter enmity between Capt. Patterson, who runs . the New York Daily News, and Col. McCormick, who is responsible for the editorial policy of the Chi~ cago Tribune. It has been said that though these ,

men are cousins and associated in the financial re- -

sponsibility of the two publications, a gulf is fixed bhe- . tween them. And the impassable chasm has been explained on the ground that the Captain is a pase . sionate liberal and the Colonel a devout reactionary, ’ But there isn't any abyss any more. Joe points - with pride to Bertie's cartoons. and Bertie is just nuts about Joe's editorials. A profit is not without honor.

‘Watching Your Health

By Dr. Morris Fishbein

FFICIALS of the Food and Drug Administration who are responsible for enforcing the new Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act are convinced the public has much more protection under these new regulations . than under previous laws. . There are some additional regulations which are of importance to the public and which have not been mentioned in the general considerations already published. The new law prohibits the addition of poison te food except where such addition is required in the production of the food and cannot be avoided by any good manufacturing process. In such instances the administration may authorize the addition of certain . definite amounts of such substances, limiting the amount to a point at which protection of the publie itself will be assured. Whenever artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, or chemical preservatives are added to foods, the. amounts must be declared on the label. The new law requires that substances sold as antiseptics actually be capable of destroying germs. Tt prohibits the sale of foods, drugs, and cosmetics which have been prepared or handled under unsanitary conditions. Remember that most of the provisions of the law do not become effective for one year; because of the menaces to life and health indicated by recent events, certain prohibitions have become immediately effective. Ome of these was the prohibition against drugs which are dangerous to health when used in the dosage prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling. The second was the prohibition against the introduction of new drugs before an application for such introduction becomes effective. . The third was the prohibition against cosmetics which may be injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the: labeling or-under such conditions as are customary or
