If his purpose was to brew trouble, it was not long in coming. By promising his exiled follow Germans the right of Der Fuehrer "self determination, gave overnight rise to demands for a plebiscite, demands which were not long in bringing bloodshed. Confident that frightened Prague would tolerate anything, the henchmen of little Fuehrer Konrad Hen-lei- n organized demonstrations that ended in riots which took six lives. By this time the Czech government was forced to show its hand. Tight martial law was clamped on five Sudeten towns, then on three more. While a jittery world held its breath, Fuehrer Henlein shot back an ultimatum that martial law be lifted in six hours or his party would decline responsibility for all further developments. In the next 24 hours Prague the ultimatum, rushed troops ut By WILLIAM BRUCKART Service, National Preaa Bldg., Waahlnfton, D. C. WASHINGTON. There ia a great Thus, there is a split, with those who subscribe to the New Deal theory of liberalism on the one hand and the Democrats who adhere to being made these daya about "liberalism." We are told in the preaa, through the radio, in personal eonveraations that "liberalism," liberal thinking, ia vitally necessary; it la urgent that our government be kept liberal, and that our daily lives be moulded along liberal lines. President Roosevelt saya so, and sought in a recent speech to define liberalism ; hla spokesmen repeat and emphasize what he has said; the vast army of ballyhoo artists on the government payroll is saying It after the manner of a stooge for ventriloquist. A lot of Republicans, trying to ape the New Dealers, are saying it, too, and making Just as much of mess of the proposition as the less among the New Dealers. Well, any way, at any cost, there must be liberalism. If we dont be liberal, we are warned, the devil will get us. The nation, its inhabitants and all of their, works will sink to the depth of perdition. Its a very sorry situation, to-d- o slick-tongu- . 00 Indeed. Recognizing the need, the urgent necessity for liberalism, Mr. Roose- velt undertook recently to define it. quote his words from a recent speech in Maryland where he had gone to try to bring about the defeat of Sen. Millard Tidings in a race for the Democratic senatorial nomination: "For example, Mr. A is a composite conservative. He admitted that In 1933, Interest rates charged by private bankers to ordinary citizens who wanted to finance a farm were altogether' too high; he admitted that there were sharp practices, excesses and abuses in issuing securities and buying and selling stocks and bonds; he admitted that the hours of work in his factory were too long; he admitted that old people, who became destitute through no fault of their own, were a problem; he admitted that national and international economics and speculation made farming and fishing extremely hazardous occupations; and he even admitted that the buying power of farmers and fishermen had not kept pace with the buy inf power of other kinds of workers. X the hundred-year-ol- d principles of the Democratic party on the other. There will be some Republicans drawn into the new alignment, but they will be fewer than the wing formed from Democrats. The Republicans who will go over to any new alignment will be of the type of Harold Ickes, now secretary of the interior, Senator Norris of Nebraska (who once wore a Republican label) and others of the category. And further, as to what will happen: my observation is that these liberal movements don't last very long. They crack up on the very principles which are supposed to be their foundation stones. Always, there are too many "leaders. Every liberal, who catalogues himself as such, shouts about it and produces plans for saving the world wherever anybody will listen, conceives himself to be a leader. Someway,' the ideas and ideals of these liberal leaders always differ. Each invariably takes the position that his plans must be adopted unanimously or the world .will go to pot. Then, too, their ideas are subject to such quick change that few of them are retained very long. They are cast aside for something else that has more glamor. A case in point is an incident of recent history. After New Dealer Senator Pope had been licked for the Idaho Democratic nomination for senator by the youthful Worth Clark, there was talk among the New Dealers about having Senator Pope seek independently; it was proposed and discussed with Mr. Roosevelt whether Senator Pope should embrace the faith of the progressive ticket in Idaho. It was found, however, that declined to take any lead in solving these problems in cooperation with the government. He even found fault with and opposed, openly or secretly, almost every suggestion that was put forward by those who belonged to the liberal school ol! thought "Mr. B, I said, was a composite liberal. He not only admitted the needs and the problems like Mr. A, but he put his shoulder under the load; he gave active study and active support to working out methwith the governods, in ment, for solving the problems and the filling of the needs. Mr. B did not claim that the remedies were perfect, but he knew that we had to start with something less than perfect in this imperfect world." Would Force Realignment Of Politice of Country Mr. Roosevelt's pronouncement on what constitutes a liberal followed very closely a statement he had issued in a meeting with the newspaper correspondents at the White House, saying that he had no objection to election of "liberal Republicans." Said he: "If there is a good liberal running on the Republican ticket, I would not have the alightest objection to his election. The good of the country rises above party. The importance of these two declarations? Mr. Roosevelt has cast the die for a new alignment of political parties. He has swept aside all previous bonds that held men and women within the Democratic party or the Republican party or the lesser political groups and has said, in effect, "Come with me into a new fusion of forces and action." Of course, no one who has studied Mr. Roosevelt's course since his political ears were first pinned back in defeat of his malodorous plan to add six justices of his own choosing to the United States Supreme court could have failed to recognize this eventuality. He was planning to force realignment in politics in this country for some months; but now the thing is out in the open, and the Democrats and Republicans, alike, know what confronts them if it is their desire to maintain the present political party setup. What will happen is quite another question. Undoubtedly, the Democratic party will be the greater sufferer. It has to be so, because Mr, Roosevelt became titular head of the Democratic party by virtue of election to the presidency in 1932 and again in 1936 as the candidate of that party. So many of the former Democrats have become wedded to the New Deal either by conviction or as a result of having won office on New .Deal coat tails that there is no turning back for them. the LaFollettes had a candidate for the senate on their ticket To the suggestion that he withdraw and let Senator Pope be their candidate, the LaFollette spokesman said: no sir-eSenator Pope isnt progressive enough for us and Senator Pope had campaigned as a 100 per cent New Dealer.

PHOTOGRAPHY rs And, in downtown Washington, Where the really important headmen of liberalism are to be found, they are constantly fuming and fretting at each other. Instances are on record where two rabid liberals actually have sought to get each other discredited in the eyes of the President because of their differences over what liberalism means. The only thing about which they seem to agree ia that anyone who insists on sanity in governmental thinking anyone who takes heed of lessons of experiences and traditions of the past must, of necessity be a tory, a bloodsucker, trampler of the poor, an obstructionist, a republicrat, or some other animal in human form who is overcome with personal greed.

As enacted, social security is insurance based on a mans lifetime earnings. But Depression and Recession have shown that some never earn enough to retire comfortably. For this reason, also because 1938 has brought an alarming rebirth of pension ideas (Townsendism had 100 supporters in the last congress) social security will probably be revised next winter in the face of such short cuts to Utopia as Californias plan. Changes Franklin Roosevelt reportedly wants: (1) Beginning of old age insurance payments in 1940 I instead of 1942; (2) increasing mini mum monthly old-ag-e payments from $10 to $30, decreasing maxi-mum- s from $85 to $60; (3) payments to widows and orphans of workers equal to those received by a man retiring at 65.

Adding to the Presidents consternation was Maines historically prophetic election in which all Republicans won, all Democrats lost Only two days later, Georgians voted to give purge a final shellacking, to bury with vengeance the gravest political error Franklin Roosevelt has ever made. Day before Georgias election, Manager Edgar B. Dunlap of the George machine could confidently predict victory. Major reason was the Presidents speech, but Manager Dunlap himself was another reason.
