NEW FRONTIERS
UCH has been said of late about there being no new

the tendency of our people to give up, quit trying, and just 20 on relief, Granted that there may be too large a Federal featherbed for many who would work only if, as the Two Black Crows said, “they could find any pleasure in it,” nevertheless

Thus was nature foiled and stature added to the human |
race. And who will rise to say that he who first saw the possibilities in kerosene had more imagination? And what about the one who conceived the cardboard periscope, with a couple of mirrors at the proper angle, by which many defied space and witnessed royalty and pomp and power, through the simple scheme of looking into a hole? Or the promoter who thought of the step-ladder and by such exercise of the money-making instinct made $1.25 after haggling awhile with a 200-pound lady who refused to pay the $2.50 asking price for sitting on top of the ladder,
but who compromised on 50 per cent for a rung half and certainly step, because the Fascists don't like restraints and

New Deal Seems Headed Toward Dictatorship Yet Bars Fascists While Welcoming the Communists.
EW YORK, June 9.—Of all the crazy contradictions that confuse and excite the common American intelligence these days ttie most baffling is the fact that the Roosevelt Administration is distinctly friendly to individual Communists and has the approval of the party but is unmistakably Fascist not only around the edges but at the core. Communists and fellow-travelers in the Administration and out of it approve and work for measures and ideas which the Fascists of the ccuntry would themselves promote if they were in power. And those Fascists and their fellow-travelers rant and bounce in dreadful alarm because they can't see the sameness of communism and fascism or realize that this Government is moving toward the common goal of both. Just why this Administration favors Communists is
not plain, but there is no doubt that Communists are welcome as New Dealers, and there is an unmistakable |
preference or sympathy for organizations which are either dominated by Communists or seriously troubled by attempts to establish such domination. > ©»

The Communists received no mandate in either of Mr. Roosevelt's elections, and there was nothing in the vote of the people which could be construed as an invitation to them to move in. In this Government there is an attempt—sometimes outspoken, sometimes concealed—to create a personal following for a leader thiough the distribution of benefits, represented as gifts from the President,
Little Joe Goebbels of the Nazi regime has an approximate counterpart in Harold Ickes, who inferred that Mr. Garner was a back-stabber because Garner, more loyal to his county and his principles than to an individual, has the cffrontery to become a candidate for President. There has been a persistent attempt to convince the whole people that private business is not only an evil but a failure, and the radio, being under Administration control and subject to coercion and censorship, has been officially extolled above the press, which

N the agricultural bill, Henry Wallace was frank enough to favor a “processing” tax and charge the increased cost of “parity” farm prices straight to the consumer—who will pay it in any event. He was stopped by opposition of both Republicans in Cone gress and Democrats in Congress and the Cabinet, The opponents of Mr. Wallace were willing to dish out the dough but they were not willing to charge the cost by a tax on the consumer, who would openly pay it if scarcity did work to increase price as planned. Nor, in this case, were they willing to go through the hokus=-pokus of “soaking the rich,” because it is grad ually becoming better understood that, even under that disguise, the consumer still pays Tt would have been swell campaign material but the Republicans can't use it, They are parties to the crime

It seems to me that we have right now a more alert and vital high bench than the country has known in our own time. The Court comes to a low ebb when all its rulings are predictable in advance. Some of the five-to-four decisions in past, years have been along strict party lines or at least, according to the well-known prejudices and predilece tions of the individuals involved Surely justice is served better if it is rendered by men with both open and active minds who pay attention to present conditions in solving present problems.

Most of the newcomers seem, among other things. to be enormously interested in their work.

Watching Your Health
| By Dr. Morris Fishbein
UR lives are full of conflicts. The desire for sate isfaction of our physical needs, including hunger, sleep and sexual needs, must be regulated according to the civilization in which we live. The psychiatrist endeavors to find such conflicts as the basis for many mental disturbances and by suitable education and explanation relieve the patient of his difficulties. THE UNCONSCIOUS-—Many of the activities of our daily lives are controlled by our own will. It is believed, however, that we are also controlled by what we inherit from our ancestors and by situations which occur in early childhood and which are completely forgotten, but which may nevertheless influence all of our lives thereafter. These influences are retained in the unconscious, The Freudians believe that the unconscious is frequently struggling with the cone scious for the control of the human being, and that this brings about mental disturbances. PROJECTION--By projection, the psychiatrist refers to a primitive mechanism in which we evaluate a stimulus in terms of the response If, for example, a man makes a wrong bid in a bridge game and as a result sustains a severe penalty, he may excuse himself by blaming somedne else for the failure, RATIONALIZATION In order to satisfy our minds we rationalize. A strong man who takes what he wants from the weak is a believer in the doctrine of survival of the fittest as far as muscles are con.
ried. ESCAPE-—The psychiatrists have a great deal to say about the desire of the individual to escape from his strains and stresses. Thus the woman who quar rels in the morning ends up with a headache. Some Jeychinyits carry this so far as to insis’
