Confidential reporta cabled here state that Mussolini is doing his best to prevent hostilities, but that powerful forces within the Jugo Slav Government lean toward war as the only means of keeping that heterogeneous kingdom together. In addition to the long and bitter strife between the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, there are other smaller but equally bitter minorities Albanians, Bulgars and tc a certain extent, Montenegrins, Hircigovenians and Bosnians. Only the firm and at times ruthless hand of King Alexander kept them together. Now that hand has been removed. His successors, faced with the of the kingdom, disintegration may find war the easier course. Gtneral Zhivkovitch, iron man under King Alexander, has n leanings. Several times before, the French had to put the brakes on Jugoslav outbursts against Italy. Now their influence is gone.

CRIME AD ISER8 One thing not lacking to the Justice department in its antictime drive is advice. Every mail brings scores of counletters from sellors. are Some suggestions ingenious to say the least. One offered the brilliant idea that all auto tires be stamped with a number, so that when an outlaw attempted to escape his trail would be stamped in the dust of the road. Another proposed the use of an mounting device which operated on a hair trigger. This was supposed to put an end to driving, for the moment a car struck something the licenses would automatically fall to the ground. A third was even more re. sourceful. He claimed to have THE one sure method for the detection oi crime and chimnals but it was a great secret. So far ne has not given his secret away. AUTO TROUBLE Ominous labor trouble is brewing behind the scenes in the automobile industry. It should burst around November 3, when the latest extension of the code for this great basic industry expires. rulers Inner Administration are holding their breath in fear and trembling as that date approaches. From its inception the auto code has been an ' endless source of fireworks. The motor moguls, grimly antiunion, last year forced a secret compromise from General Johnson. It substituted the meni clause" for the collective bargaining of Section 7a.

Since then the code has twice been renewed by the President Bu no move was made by him, or Johnson, to eliminate the merit clause.. Early last Spring, resentment n against the unyielding stand of the motor moguls reached such a pitch; that auto workers threatened a general strike. A J Week 'of frenzied negotiations, personal intervention by the President, and the crisis was averted. Labor remained sore but, fot the time bei lg, quiet. It was off season, and not a good t me to strike. But now the winter period approaches, and embittered workers are tightening their belts and preparing for a showdown. When the last extention of the code was approved by the President the workers were not consulted a fact not overlooked by them. was The renewal authorized September 4, following a secret conference between General Johnson and Walter Chrysler. Johnson recommended A extension. Roosevelt cut it to sixty. In preparation for the question of renewal, November 3, the NRA Labor Advisory Board has made a confidential recommendation that the merit clause be discarded and a flat week be. set up- - in the automobile industry. On the fate of this may depend the peace of motor plants. Lebor is determined to throw out the merit clause." BONUS GROUNDS WELL As the American Legion convention approaches next Monday, sentiment for the bonus has increased to a powerful ground-swel- l. It looks as if the inside leaders could not stop - it, and By CLARK SQUIRES i (Special Correspondent for the Herald-Journa- a l) Editors Note This is one of series of articles on the drouth situation. Can it be that the Great Drouth of 1934 is but a continuation of wise old Dame Nature's program to make the west the outstanding empire of tomorrow? One wonders as he looks upon the devastation in the stricken areas. And in speculating pu the developments he cannot escape the conclusion that natural forces, as well as those engineered by mankind, are being directed toward that end. Mother Nature endowed this section of the country with extensive fertile valleys, numberless streams and pure water and snow capped peaks whose possibilities for producing electric energy are almost limitless. Among the rocks she hid valuable minerals. She stocked the streams with fish and covered the slopes with timber. Utilizes Water Next, Mother Nature turned her attention to populating this region. Man decided in time to utilize the pure cold water which tumbles down the mountain sides. First he carried it through canals and ditches to irrigate farm lands. Then he piped it into growing cities for drinking purposes, for keepng homes and cities clean, for making lawns green and causing gardens to grow. Finally he it in reservoirs so that it might be hitched to dynamos which produce industrial and domestic power. But where were the multitudes who should be taking advantage of these resources offered amid unsurpassed climatic conditions? Well, if the groups living in this favored land werent enterprising enough to induce their fellow men some of them dont want to. to make their homes here, Mother Chief among these is HanNature would go out and round ford MacNider, Hoovers Minthem up. ister to Canada.

Thomas, in an address before the students of the Utah Slate Agricultural college Wednesday in the college chapel. Senator Thomas has recently re. turned from an extended trip to Europe. Hitler has been made in two ways, the misery and teirible condition of the German people and and his enemies. He is constantly holding out a better day for tho downtrodden people. Enemies generally do more good than harm. The person who is really hurt is the one who starts the campaign. "Hitler can do something no ona else can, said Senator Thomas. "He can speak to civilians to public officials, and to military men, and receive recognition because he has destroyed ail of the federal system in Germany, and has made of the German state a single unidid the same tary state. Mussolini thing but has not achieved aa great a success as had Hitler. When the question came before the German people whether Hitler should be made sole dictator as well as chancellor of the state 4,(100.000 people voted yes," said Senator Thomas. "And in Germany it is considered an offense not to vote if one has the ' right to do ' T so. "But," declared Senator Thomas, despite this appearance of success Hitler's attack of the Jews was a crime, and a mistake from the standpoint of political science. It was really a step backward Instead of forward. Hitler's acts of killings, and the Jewish boycott were also mistakes and wrong from the political science view. A wrong against an individual is also a wrong against society. In the, sovereign and in the state only, is the right to punish." Senator Thomas declared it was a cowardly way for a politician to' act, but It has strengthened Hitler before the German people. Hitler has also done some good things for the German people said Senator Thomas. Ha has aroused the German to a pitch of Nazi patriotism never before seen in the history of the country. Despite the fact that it appears thatn he has killed democracy by a rule, democracy will triumph of The fundamental principles democracy move ever upward and individit stands for the greatest ual liberty in a social community, concluded Senator Thomas.
