who rules by intimidation who holds over hist subjects threats of persecution who punishes personal affronts and stnps intelligent people of their independence and individuality is under the necessity of keeping them busy appiehcn-siv- e suspicious of their neighbors and under some spell of excitement Otherwise they begin to think about themselves their sacrifices their subjection their restrictions they get to discussing their prospects their aspirations their rights they grow critical moody resentful and rebellious they want to exercise their own brains enjoy their own leisure accumulate for their posterity and raise children for something besides "cannon fodder ” Hitler does not care to relinquish his sway over the natives of his adopted country he docs not dare to let his public know the truth concerning other peoples he must have victims upon whom to vent his hate and toward whom to direct the animosity of others for he lives on excitement and swells with Because of all this he cannot abandon aggressions he cannot keep his promises to seek no moie territory and to let the world settle down to a period of peace Even as the frontier bully or bad man cf the “old west” had to flourish his guns and stamoede unarmed groups to maintain a reputation acquired for ferocity so must Hitler mobilize armies drill schoolboys persecute helpless minorities and keep the world guessing as to what he may do next In the course of time the desperate characters of early days in the West were nlant-r- d with their boots on Leaders like Hitler may meet a similar fate and take their places in history as the Dillingers the Casadys and Murrietas have achieved in the records of their respective localities “How can tyrants safely govern home unless abroad thev purchase

France has 815531 combined they are double that of the axis the difference would enable the democracies of Europe to bombard the Italian peninsula from both sides and bottle up the German fleet of

Veteran Observer As secretary of the American Mining Congress for three decades James F of Denver has had the opportunity the experience and the ability to study most problems of mining from many angles and In different stages of 'Industrial activity This veteran of the organization with which he is still Identified as necretary emeritus Is attending the conference of the western division now in session at Salt Lake City He Is optimistic concerning the future of this essential industry and has told the assemblage that “no limit to the amount of minerals available" can be fixed because “as time goes on mining method will be Improved to bring Into use lower grade oies" He also reasons that “if a shoitage should seem approaching tho price rise svou'd naturally follow to stimulate development of new supplies" During his term of service with the mining congress this dean of the association witnessed sev- - e Call-breat- Record One-Mil- e Includes Eight Transgressions The Salt Laker who ran the gamut of traffic offenses as well as safety signals to terminate his short journey to police headquarters the other evening seems to be a rather versatile motorist Between Main street and his home something over a mile as Indicated by blocks the young man was observed by pursuing officers to violate eight separate and distinct regulations lie was arrested for and charged with the following transgressions: Running a red light rounding a stop signal without causing making an improper turn failing to give an arm warning refusal to keep on the right side of thoroughfares operating a car with faulty brakes driving without a license and reckless disregard of pedestrians There may be other punishable offenses against the peace dignity safety and reputation of the community but he seemingly overlooked them or gave the traffic officers no opportunity to note or record them However in a few minutes he established a reputation that ought to last for a long time With sucl reckless operators of automobiles gradually weeded out the standing of the city in safety circles will be raised and tho public will venture forth upon its business with fewer apprehensions New York Highlights By Charles Driscoll B NEW YORK— The Church of Saint Mary at Grand and Ridge streets near Williamsburg Bridge plaza in the depths of the Lower ’East Side is the third oldest Catholic church In New York The church wrs established In 1826 and the present building was dedicated in 1833 The church shows Its age even from a distance despite a recent renovation and cleaning up It isn't possible to keep a building shining bright new' looking in this location Although the old red soft brick walls were given sevetal coats of red paint to presene them within the last jear the exterior walls already look rather well aged The neighborhood is one of old tenement houses Hundreds of suck slums were cleared away for the approaches to the Williamsburg brWge over the East river some years ago A great many more have been destroyed within the last few years to make way for a new housing project and open slum spaces for the people of the long-dar- k area Simple Design The design of old St Mary’s Is simple according to a well worn formula There is a central tower and there is a relatively high spue on each side at the front There are one wdde center aisle and two side aisles The center aisle leads to the mam altar fronting each side aisle is a center altar Rev Edward A Giblin pastor of St Mary's since 1933 a native of New Jersey last summer undertook rehabilitation of the church property For many years the church had been deteriorating in appearance This is a condition fairly common among old churches in the East Side where congregations have moved away and there are no funds for maintaining the chdTch property In acceptable style Father Giblin and his two assistant priests on put working clothes and did the job themselves Abnormally Dark The church was abnormally dark for a building with so many high windows Seeking a renson (or this the pastor learned that the windows had not been washed for 80 vears No living person remembered what the windows had looked like They were just strips of grime Also a tall pipe organ in the rhoir loft had been installed at some earlv'date altogether obscuring light from wide high windows In that end Of the rhurih

column last week about the causes of our entry into the World war has elicited interesting comment One reader has referred me to an excellent short analysis by Stanley K Hornbeck an experienced diplomat and student of inter- national affairs who is now adviser on political relations to the secretary of state Mr Hornbeck draws a distinction between the “occasion” of our entry into the World war which was the submarine controversy and the "causes" of that fateful decision He brings out the conflict in the mind of Wood-roWilson between the determination to keep his country out of the European holocaust and the "desire to chnmpion what he ronceived to he the rights and interests of his own country and an outraged world” Mr Hornbeck thinks that this mental conflict was not resolved in favor of war until Wilson became convinced that "the German government meant to stop at nothing and that a victory by the central powers over the allies was inconceivable" By If war comes the stock market may sag temporarily in anticipation of the withdrawal of foreign Investments but any panicky drop seems Impossible Foreign liquidation will be less than has been anticipated Arrangements have been made by governments for its orderly handling If there is no war It Is ex pected the stock market barome- ter w of business prospects will rise sharply (one economist here mentions the figure 20 per cent because domestic business is now that much better than the market level) You can see the extent to which the market has ignored domestic business conditions during the strain of European affairs in a single fact: Steel ingot production the bellwether is at the highest rate of the year while steel stock prices have been about the lowest This consensus of federal experts privately taken places the level of business production for this month at 101 per cent of the 1923-2- 5 average It is expected this figure will move up to between 105 and 110 beforothc end of the year If domestic business is allowed to pursue its present Production Decline August production shows 1 per cent decline from July but under circumstances which have nothing to do with general busi- ness conditions The loss is traceable directly to the order of the Texas railroad commission which shut down most Texas oil wells August 14 for 15 davs This may well cut national oil production 50 per cent for the last half month at least Without this development production would have continued the steady climb started in April Small rises in steel and a few other lines gave the situation as a whole an improved

only to produce other goods Plans for government spending guarantee this factor beyond the end year The economists see nothing in the picture which could cause si downturn Basis for Optimism Another fundamental basis for optimism among the experts comes from their reports showing national Income increasing August estimates place inrome at 837 per cent of 1929 The only time it has been higher In the past two years was in December and March last All signs point v to Its continuance The effect of income shows in the sustained volume of retail and automobile sales Forecasts of retail sales Indicate an Increase probably a little above seasonal is now starting All In all therefore basic conditions are still fundamentally encouraging— if Hitler will only let the world alone and even if he will not The latest crisis does not seem to have shaken actual business transactions much as yet Perhaps there are some people who are saying: "I will not plan that expansion to my plant or my house” or a housew ife w ho will not buy a new hat but the watchers here doubt it They think people are becoming more accustomed to these synthetic political crises In Europe If anyone Is sufficiently

Mr Horn-beck- 's list would be complete We have our concepts of morality legality justice and human values We have already marked Germany as the aggressor and our sympathies are already ranged far more solidly on the side of the allies than in April 1917 If the reasons cited bv Mr Hornbeck for our going to war in 1917 seem now as we look back to have been good and sufficient they are presumably good and sufficient for our getting into the next one Maybe so But I can't take the jump from Mr Horn-beck- 's list of causes to the conclusion that there was at stake in 1917 our "right to ex- 1st in
