National Press Building The Associated Washington. Press carried a dispatch from Moscow a few days Social Defense ago that had more in il than in Russia just the announcement that certain oppositionists among the Soviet leaders were to be executed. The dispatch reported that 16 confessed conspirators against the Soviet state were sentenced to death by the firing squad as the highest measure of social defense of a government It reported a new stage in the progress of Communism in the Russian state. For the first time since the Bolsheviks came into power they ordered the death penalty for some of the leaders who marched in the Revolution of October, 1917. So we have a clean sweep now of the men who sat next to the dictator, Lenin; the men who were his closest advisors in council are out of the way, and in their place remains the extensively practical and strong-willeexecutive, Stalin, who has in this instance declined to allow theory to interfere with a condition. Here is the picture. Leon Trotsky In exile and under sentence of death if he returns into Russia. Zinoviev shot to death. Kamenev also executed by a firing squad (he will be remembered as an outstanding pillar of Bolshevism). Tomsky, a suicide. Rykov, Bukahrin and Rodek under investigation by the dreadful A hated secret service is Ogpu. looking into the records of Sokokni-ko- v and Pyotakov, The latter two have been important advisors to Stalin. But what is all of this about? The answer is simple. While these men were charged with plotting the murder of Stalin, with conspiracy, beneath it all lies the thirst of men for power. Through all of this since the fall of the Russian empire and the execution of Czar Nicholas, the Communists have pushed forward. The strongest of them have traveled. That is the why of Stalin. Yet as most always happens under any circumstance where the will of a few men runs free, they have inflicted to the last degree the power that they have gathered unto themselves. In so doing they have not failed to reserve unto themselves such considerations as they thought necessary a perfectly human trait of character answerable only where a whim becomes a will and there is power to carry it out. Between Stalin, who was able to enforce his will, and Trotsky, who dwelt in the starry heavens of theories and dreams, there is only a theoretical difference. Each wanted Communism. Trotsky considered the problem in the terms of world revolution; Stalin thought of it as the Russian state and recognized his capacity to carry his plans through in that jurisdiction. So the y feud, as it has turned out to be, has become ferocious and any one who has gone contrary to the will of the migh y Stalin committed a sin against the state. And a sin against the Russian state under Stalin means to disappear. ed d Stalin-Trotsk- It seems to me there is an important lesson for the American n people in that ation. Stalin, Americans alone with Hltlcr and Mussolini, is always right It matters not what the people may desire, what their philosophy of life and living may be, how they propose to encourage or accept responsibility for the dictatorship continues. in these columns I times Many have criticized bureaucracy in the There are so federal government many bureaucrats in Washington now that some one has bitterly described them as locusts. It may seem quite a jump from bureaucracy to dictatorship but the difference actually is very smalt When the people of the United States concede to the federal government such rights as the federal government attempted to exercise in NRA and even to a greater extent in the AAA, they are taking the first step to grant to a centralized government the authority that leads to absolute control of the person and everything that person does. There are conditions undoubtedly that need to be remedied before our form of government is anything like perfect There is always to be considered changing conditions and the changing whims of people themselves. But I entertain the conviction that so long as the American people are unwilling to accord increasing powers to the federal government the nation as a whole will go forward, civilization will progress and we will enjoy having a government about C. Honoring Amos take up the job as the chief American diplomat at Paris in most troublesome times, the most difficult, perhaps, that have confronted an American diplomat anywhere since the days of 1914 to 1916. Appointment of Mr. Bullitt then, it would appear, is a move that calls into consideration not only the conditions which he will meet as our ambassador but also his qualifications for the job. It is to be remembered, first, that the post of ambassador to Paris is the second highest in rank among our foreign diplomats. It is a post that always has called for about the best that our nation can turn out in the way of tactful representation even though we always count the assignment to London as the No. 1 ranking post The reason is that we seldom, if ever, have had the problems to deal with in the case of the London government that continuously arise between the United States and France. We always have been friendly with France in modern times, but it can not be denied that there has been constant friction between the two peoples. The same has not been true concerning n relations. Hence, the job at Paris has always been regarded as more difficult than that Anglo-America- at London. resolutions endorsing the sunsets.

It will be recalled as well that Mr. Bullitt insisted throughout these negotiations how trade would follow recognition. He urged that the old policy of held by Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, should be cast aside in the interest of trade, predicting a great flow of commerce between Gen. Nicolas Rodriguez, leader of the nations.

After what some critics have called Mr. Bullitts dismal failure at Moscow, he is promoted to the French post. The selection comes at a time when French internal politics are boiling. It comes likewise at a time when the Washington government is striving to expand American exports and when it is hoped that there will not be a further decline in outbound shipments such as official figures of the Department of Commerce show has taken place in trade with Russia Marital Barque Launched in Lake The transfer of William C.

He has served his city, Detroit, and his state and the nation in a distinguished way. Obviously, such service builds up an important political following but, according to superficial indication, no one knows exactly how much remains of that following. Tills statement assumes that the senators strength is not as great as it used to be and all current information supports that view. Yet, In politics, nothing is certain and that is the reason why Senator Couzenss action has proved disturbing. Former Gov. Wilbur M. Brucker is seeking the Republican nomination for the senate in Michigan and thus the incumbent has his difficulties in getting the nomination because the Democrats will have a candidate of their own. Be it said in favor of Senator Couzens, however, he was fair with the voters of his party by announcing before the primaries what his attitude would be respecting the presidential candidates and his sincerity in this regard may have some effect.

A LADY naturalist at the Smith-i- k soman in Washington has been experimenting and she says that frogs not only listen to political speeches on the radio but, by their croaks at the finish, indicate a deep appreciation of same. This helps to confirm an opinion Ive had all along, that the only end of a frog which should command my entire approval is the end the legs grow on especially when fried in cracker crumbs. On second thought, though, maybe the frog has more brains than I'm giving him credit for. When you applaud at the end of a broadcast theres no chance for an en- li an u out?
