For the world has moved, after all. Mans progress could lie delayed some centuries by the destruction of the Alexandria library; it cannot be so delayed by the destruction of the one in Vienna. The widened horizon represented in those books at Vienna docs not exist in those books alone. It has been diffused among thinking men all over the world. All of which is a sign that human civilization rests on stouter pillars now than used to be the case. The militaristic Samsons may be doing their best to throw those pillars down, but the job is beyond them. In the end, is it not quite possible that they will destroy nothing but their own strength?

UDS ANGELES HAS AN ALTITUDE RANGING FROM 5S4 Behind the Scenes in ter Glances At Our World Washington My friend, Dave, lives by the side of the road where the race of men go by. And from that fact he takes his livhhood. American Dave is an ardent although he was born in that Russia which is part of pre-wnow Poland, I wanted to know about his nativity, and he told me at first that he was "a man without a country, and then explained. His father, a Russian, used to go to East Prussia at certain seasons of the year to work. While there he met an attractive German girl, and when he returned to Russia at the end of the seasons work, she went with him. the Dave was just entering iealm of manhood when the Russian revolution came along. Later that part of Russia which had been his home was severed from the parent country and named the Republic of Poland. Somewhere in those years he was impressed into the Russian army and sent to serve, not at a wartime front, but at some inland barracks, merely learning to be ready to die efficiently ami effectively in the next war that And his pay was came along. 12C. cents a month. Dave thought his life and his time were worth more than that. But it was the custom, and he might have stood it for the allotted time but for the fact that he was expected to buy his own shoe blacking and any lost buttons out of his infinitesimal pay. That was the straw that broke him of soldiering. He made his way stealthily into Germany, slid over to England, and on to America, by degrees. And he was not satisfied until he had arrived somewhere near the western edge of America and had put half the world between him and his barracks 'They would shoot me if I should ever return," lie explains. Dave landed in America knowing not a word of English nnd having no money at all. He went to work with a pick and shovel and, as he puked up a few words of English, worked into his old He is a mechanic. calling. He worked hard, and still works hard And he saved his money. Right now he owns his own business and hires another mechanic to help. The relief truck stops down the road from Dave's place every week and leaves its load - but none for Dave.

"YYorkng is only good." of WASHINGTON- .- Promises from business in its recov- program are exactly what administration needs most. even Many government officials, ery the though they believe in spending," gravely doubt if the program oy itself can make a dent in the depression. Analysis of the spending-lendin- g g plan has shown its value to be problematical and i s reception has been a mixture of mild approval, apathy and What the program opposition needs is a new business psychology which would result in turning loose a lot of private capital in anticipation of better times and that is sadly lacking. So the administration has been, tring like the dickens to get some big business men to beai. the drums. pump-prunin- It's quite reminiscent of the months when President Hoover was getting all the big business men down here to do ex1929-3- 0 actly the same thing. Mr. Hoover had a far easier time getting the tycoons to express "confidence" than Mr. Roosevelt is having and, on ihe other hand, F. D. R. has g a scheme which Hoover didn't have. Other proin the two nounced differences situations are obvious and needn't be detailed, although it may be noted tha-- some New Deal cynics believe hopeful expressions ot and confidence by business leaders would be no more valuable than they were in 1930. Insofar as the present Roosevelt program is concerned it is now obvious that: will be no immediate rise in he flow of federal spending. 2 -- The degree of s(ieev) with which and lending money can be put into the system is an uncertain factor. 3 - Even the most optimistic advocates of the program arm': sure that the amount of such money will be enough to lift the country above current depression levels. So you can see why here's a fervent Washington desire to have business men stop saying "Oh, yeah?' and start crying something like "Clap hands, here comes Charlie!" Optimists hope the New Deal can get to pushing ou. $150,000,000 a month of new money by election time. But since WPA expenditures will represent no real increase, and RFC loans always have been made conservatively, the big difference between the present government outlay and that of a few months hence must be found in about $1,500,000,000 of PWA grant and loan money which Secretary Iekes expects o have available. Ickes hopes to start pushing this money out within three months and will make a terrific effort tu fulfill hose hopes and fool the I skeptics.

It was written by Justice Bran-dei- s in the case of Erie Kuilroud vs. Tompkins, and what made the case so imiKirtant as the fact that it smashed the corporation practice of using the federal courts as a means of getting around state laws they didn't like. This precedent had been in effect 96 years, ever since Justice Story handed down the Swift vs. Tyson decision in 1842. In this he held that, federal courts were not bound by decisions in state courts. Thereupon began a merry game on the part of companies who could afford to pay lush legal fees, to dodge around among the courts until they could find a federal court which would be favorable a result of this about halt of this country's progressive or reform legislation by the states was doomed even before it got started.
