DISTURBING FACTORS IN
GERMANY
Although it is generally admitted
that the Bruening government is in
a difficult position, being beset by
both Communists and Fascists at
home, some of its policies, or poli
cies apparently countenanced by it,
have made it harder for Germany to
secure foreign assistance in her pres
ent emergency. That assistance clear
ly depends upon foreign confidence,
particularly the confidence of Fiance.
The Bruening government profes.-es
to be carrying on the program of in
ternational conciliation and co-operation
instituted by the late Gusiav
Stressemann. Yet certain recent
events have been contrary to the
spirit of that program.
As example of blundering on the
part of the government was the se
cret negotiations with Austria last
spring for a customs union, which
immediately aroused the apprehen
sion of France and her allies, con
cerning the possibility of the even
tual political union of the two coun
tries. The project was abandoned,
but not before it had done real dam
age to Franco-German relations.
Since then two other events have
been permitted to occur which have
tended to damage those relations still
further by increasing French distrust
in Germany's motives.
The first of these events was the
arrest and conviction of a foreigner,
believed to be a Pole, on charges of
"attempted treason," growing out of
the Stahlhelm review at Breslau near
the Polish border in May. The Stahl
helm (Steel Helmet) is a Nationalist
organization, consisting largely of
former German army men, led by ex
officers, many of them members of
tlie old ruling houses. When the Pol
ish government protested against this
obviously hostile demonstration near
the frontier, the German government
replied that the Stahlhelm was a pri
vate association, "with no military
aims." Yet three foreigners were ar
rested as "spies" for watching the
rally and cne of them now has been
sentenced after a secret trial.
The second dis:u:bir.g incident
has been the arrest and conviction of
two Germans for what is reported to
have been the "betrayal of military
fvcets," in connection with the pub
lication of an article criticizing pub
lic expenditures upon aviation. The
article suggested that some o? the
money was being spent on un itary
planes, which are prohibited b the
treaty of Versailles. According to
the treaty, Germany is forbidder for
ever to maintain a military air farce.
Yet here was an article dealing ex
clusively with aviation and judged
to betray military secrets. The court
held that the article could not even
be read in public wihout endanger
in? national security.
The general disarmament confer
ence is approaching. Its prospects of
su"Cfss are darkened by the French
attitude that France already has re
duced her armaments to the lowest
level compatible with national saf
ety, unless further international
guarantees are forthcoming.' Many
Frenchmen feel that Germany has
violated the peace treaty and actually
is preparing for a war of revenge.
These recent convictions lend color
to their argumbent, and they are
hoping to make Franco-German co
operation in economic matters more
difficult.
HUNTING OR TRESPASSING?
Greater respect on the part ot
hunting sportsmen should be paid to
the warning signs "No Hunting"
which are so often seen in the coun
try at this season of the year. More
importance is contained in these
words than the casual passer-by
realizes. They are there not alone
for the protection of the farmer's
lands and his buildings, but also for
the persons who inhabit them. If
they protect also the wiT3 life with
in that haven, they are not to be de
plored for that.
Each year casualties are reported
from careless use of hunters weap
ons. Farmers in different parts of
the country report the unwelcomed
presence of hunters and their dogs,
who not only trample upon their
crops, but endanger with their shots
both the livestock and those who
live on the farm. High grasses and
shrubs frequently hide roadway en
trances to many farms. If hunters
are about, persons who chance to be
riding or walking along the way
without knowledge of their presence
are often in danger of flying shot.
A hunting license is not a trespass
license. And those who intention
ally enter upon the property of oth
ers fcr the purpose of hunting, with
out their permission, are more cer
tainly breaking a moral law.
Through the efforts of many indi
viduals and societies, hunters and or
ganizations of sportsmen are pledg
ing themselves to ask permission of
any owner before trespassing upon
his property to hunt, and to respect
the owner's reply, whether it be neg
ative or affirmative. This is an en
couraging sign.

PROTECTED FROM JOBS
An Associated Press dispatch from
London, which reports another long
list of commodities to which England
will apply a 50 per cent import tax
beginning today, notes that:
"Several Kinds c.f electrical fix
tures are hit in the new schedules.
. . . American firms already have
plans under way to manufacture
these products in England that they
may avoid duty. The government
raises no objection to that procedure
on the theory that unemployment
will be lessened."
In connection with this paragraph
it is interesting to recall the full
title of the Hawley-Smoot tariff act,
which, by its urgent suggestion of
tariff retaliation, is, in large meas
ure, responsible for the present Brit
ish "experiment with protection."
The full title of the act is "an act
to provide revenue, to regulate com
merce with foreign countries, to en
courage the industries of the United
States, to protect American labor,
and for other purposes."
Particularly noteworthy in this
connection are its purposes to en
courage the industries of the United
Stutes, and to protec American labor.
The encouragement to American in
dustry which is provided must be an
encouragement to migrate elsewhere
to get behind the tariff walls that
have been reared throughout the
world in answer to the Hawley
Smoot enactment. And the protec
tion of American labor is presumably
a protection from having a job. At
any rate, it is difficult to understand
hew these purposes can be construed
otherwise at this juncture. Balti

AN INTERNATIONAL
MURAL MOVEMENT
Oddly enough, the art impulse in
the United States is receiving from
other countries some of its strongest
reasons for encouragement. In Cali
fornia, for example, Mr. Maynard
Dixon preached the doctrine of mural
painting for many years as a source
of activity for artists and as a means
of heightening the beauty of public
and semi-public buildings in that
sections. He and other painters did
much work in banks, educational in
stitutions and theaters without quite
making their work widely known
outside the State.
Then Senores Diego Rivera and
Clemente Orozco, who in Mexico had
started a movement for national ex
pression in fresco, journeyed north
ward and joined their arguments
with those of the native painters.
The result has been a strong growth
in public appreciation of mural
painting and architectural sculpture
throughout California and the neigh
boring states. This recognition of a
I native impulse from the outside
j seemed just the thing needed to give
'this movement its final impetus.
Recently, Senor Jose Maria Sert,
Spanish painter, who has completed
for the new Waldorf-Astoria Hotel
in New York a series of fifteen murals
based on an incident in "Don Quix
ote," has been predicting that the
immediate future of art in the Unit-;
ed States will cener around the pos-i
sibilities provided for murals in the
great new buildings now being erect- i
ed. Such murals will bring an enor
mous recognition to the artists con
cerned. A thousand' persons will see
their work, when thus publicly
shown, to one that would know of
their existence if their art were rep-i
resented only by easel paintings
bought by collectors and all but hid
den in private collections.
Abbey, Sargent and De Chavannes
are perhaps best known to Americans ,
today through their murals in thej
Bcston Public Library. The new Sert ;
room in the Waldorf-Astoria is bound 1
to come to national knowledge
through report of guests who dine
beneath his paintings. Miss Violet,
Oakley's illustrated volume on her
series of murals, "The Holy Experi
ment," for the Pennsylvania State
Capitol at Harrisburg, has carried
artistic report on American history
to other countries, and the pictures
themselves have become a public
treasure. Mr. Lee Lawrie's carved
figures for the exterior of the new
Nebraska State Capitol have opened
new vistas for the use of native sym-
bols in American structures.
An artistic opportunity. Indeed, is
offered by the application of the arts
of the mural painter and the sculp
tor as integral elements in a nation
al architecture.

TARIFF BLUNDERS
When the Hawley-Smoot tariff law
was passed some 18 months ago, it
was clear to any thoughtful persons
that it would produce ruinous re
sults in the form of retaliatory tar
iffs in foreign countries. Even while
that law was being enacted. Canada
made sizeable increases in its import
o'uties, aimed directly at American
products. Since then Italy has step
ped up its rates on motor cars and
other American goods.
Now it is Great Britain, one of
our greatest export markets which
is building a tariff wall. Not only
does the MacDonald government plan
a general tariff on imports, but it is
hurrying Its plans for a temporary
emergency bill to prevent large im
ports of foreign goods in anticipa
tion of a general tariff. The major
ity of 396 to 51 on the first tariff
vote indicates plainly that Great
Britain has made up its mind to leave
its free-trade policy once and for all.
Whatever form it may take, the
British tariff will hit us doubly hard
in the United States because it will
exempt dominion products. Thus mo
tor cars and typewriters made in
Canada, by Canadian workmen, will
enter England duty free, while the
same products made in the United
States will be taxed somewhere be
tween 20 and 50 per cent or even
more. Much the same holds true of
our agricultural products.
In this fashion has the Hawley
Smoot blunder led to other blunders.
By shutting our doors to foreign
goods, we have made inevitable the
drastic reduction of debt payments
to us. By the same act we have
forced foreign countries to raise
their tariff walls and thereby close
the markets that have furnished em
ployment for countless American
workingmen. Cincinnati Enquirer.

HOOVER'S CANDID FRIENDS
President Hoover has Buffered an
extraordinary run of bad luck dur
ing the past two years. No part of
it, politically speaking, can have been
harder to endure than the indiscre
tions, improprieties, infelicities and
general incompetence of the succes
sive chairmen of the national repub
lican committee. It was a sufficient
ly unfortunate coincidence that the
committee had to meet in Washing
ton just as the session of the new
congress was opening, and immed
iately after pleas of nonpartisan ac
tion had been sounded at the capitol.
The inevitable effect was to make
the democrats feel that they were
called upon to be good patriots, to
sink party differences, largely in or
der to strengthen the republican or
ganization and enable it the better
to defeat them in the next presiden
tial election. But this might have
been got over as unintended and re
grettable manoeuvre had not Chair
man Fess, in his address to the mem
bers of the national committee, car
ried off first place, with the rest no
where, for ill-judged, ill-time and
ill-phrased speaking.
Such a left-handed tribute as he
paid to Mr. Hoover was enough to
make the warmest supporter of the
president writhe. Senator Fess also
plainly implied that the republican
party is in for an overwhelming de
feat unless it does something to
make the country appreciate the real
qualities of Mr. Hoover. Here is a
great man, declared Chairman Fess,
in effect, whose fellow-citizens have
been stupidly unaware of his singu
lar eminence. What the party must
do is to go out and labor from this
day forth to correct the prevailing
impression of the president, and
prove to an incredulous people that
Mr. Hoover has displayed "a leader
ship without precedent in American
history." This theme was developed
by Chairman Fess with an elephan
tine awkwardness which none but
he can command cn such an occa
sion. After listening to the descrip
tions of himself as the great misun
derstood, the neglected genius. Pres
ident Hoover must have felt like

BRITAIN'S BALANCE OF TRADE
The most immediately pressing of
Britain's economic problems is that
of balancing her trading accounts.
Britain has always spent more on
imports than she has received for her
visible exports, but when to her vis
ible exports have been added pay
ments for her invisible exports, for
her shipping services, for example,
and the income from her foreign in
vestments, her trade balance has in
variably shown a substantial surplus
in her favor.
Even in 1926, when industry was
dislocated by the general strike, this
surplus, according to the estimate of
the Macmillan committee, amounted
to 9,000,000. In 1927 it rose to
114,000,000, in 1928 to 137,
000,000 and in 1929 to 138,000.
000. Last year there was a consider
able drop, but even so, it reached
39,000,000. This year, however, it
is generally expected that, for the
first time in post-war history, Brit
ain's imports will exceed both her
visible and invisible exports. For the
first time since the war, Britain is
spending more than she is earning,
a matter as disturbing in the case of
nations as of individuals.
The problem can be tackled from
various angles. Britain can either
spend less abroad, or earn more, or
do both together. The decline in her
overseas earnings has been largely
attributed to the supposed fact that
her chief losses have been in coun
tries whose purchasing power has
been seriously diminished by the ef
fects of the war. From this the con-
elusion has been drawn that as soon
as Europe begins to recover from the
war, British trade will again revive.
But, for better or worse, there are
grave reasons for believing that
neither the supposition nor the con
clusion is correct. In the last year or
so, economic distress has been fairly
general, and the recent setbacks may,
at least partially, be attributed to
world causes. But before the slump
began, it was precisely in those parts
of the world that had been least af
fected by the war that Britain's loss
of markets was most striking. The
decline of Britain's exports to North
America was six times as great as
the decline of her exports to Europe,
though the bulk of North America's
imports of manufactured goods from
the world as a whole had increased
rather than otherwise. Britain's dif
ficulties were due, it is possible to
maintain, not so much to the misfor
tunes of her customers as to her own
deficiencies.
In its way this is a comforting
conclusion. For It means that Brit
ain is not the helpless victim of world
forces over which she has no control.
but that the causes of her retrogres
sion are such as she herself can large
ly remove. The suggestion that she
reduce her imports by means of tar
iffs is meeting with great approval,
but schemes of this sort should not
divert attention from the necessity
of improving Britain's technical and
business efficeincy.
The prime hope for Britain, as for
the rest of the world, does in fact
rest on a willingness to reorganize
the whole of industry where it is not
in strictest conformity with the de
mands of modern life, to take account
of the constantly changing character
of the world's demands, to cease sup
plying in 1932 the kind of commod
ity which has not been asked for
since 1923, and to adopt the most ef
fective technique and conditions of
production, not only to cheapen costs,
but also to stimulate consumption.
"G. 0. P." ORIGINATED AS "GOP"
The year the Grand Old Tarty
nominated James G. Blaine for the
presidency (18S4), a young printer
by the name of T. B. Dowden turned
up in the shop of the Cincinnati
Gazette looking for work.
The Gazette took him on and one
morning at 2:30 o'clock, just before
the Gazette went to press, Dowden
...k from the mr hook a rrieee of
mi y niark.'d: 'Mi'sl go in ten lines."
Setting ten lines solid, he franti
cally tinkered the spacing, then ap
peal to he foreman: "My copy ends
with 'Grand Old Party' and I have
two words left over. What shall I
do?"
"Throw them away and use your
intelligence," exploded the busy
foreman. "Cut 'em short, get 'em in,:
abbreviate 'em, use initials. Do some
thing and hurry up. This page is1
late!"
Achievements of the Gop.' "
At the meeting that night the'
"Man from Maine" was concluding
a 2-hour Republican harangue when
a voice cried from the gallery:
"Why don't you tell us something
about the 'Gop' and what it did?"
Blaine retorted: "Why, my friend,,
I've been talking about the 'Gop' all
evening. The word 'Gop contains
the initial letters of the Grand Old
Party and that is its official and
abbreviated form."
In a letter signed "The Printer
Himself" published in the New York
Herald Tribune recently, Mr. Dow
den, now living in Los Angeles, gave
the foregoing version of the origin
of the Republican party's nickname.
He concluded:
"The audience roared but Blaine
never smiled. That settled it right
there and 'Gop' held its own for a
long time. Then fussy proof readers
got to decorating it with periods and
it finally evolved into G. O. P."
From Time.
:o:
DOLES TO RAILROADS
Senator Couzens puts the rail
roads' appeals for relief through gov
ernment in the same class as other
relief asked. "There is no difference
between paying a dole to an unem
ployed worker and paying interest
or dividends cn railroad securities
representing idle equipment," he
says. That is a thought to be an
swered, if possible.
We should not give Mr. Couzens
much on this, if he stopped there.
It Isn't all as simple as that. But
the railroad question has been en
gaging his attention. The plea of
the roads fol a 15 per cent freight
increase, the plea of weaker roads
for a gcvernmetn appropriation re
volving fund of 300 million dollars,
raise the question. "And then
what?" Doles of any kind are nar
cotics, silencing the trouble for a
time, only to have it reappear in
worse form. Mr. Couzens would go
to the malady itself.
There is enormous waste the rail
roads can reduce if they are ready to
accept the necessary remedies. Sen
ator Couzens says. He speaks of too
many stations, better served by
truck and bus. of short-haul busi
ness carried at a loss and of other
wastes. As if to reinforce his charges
comes the reminder that not three
years ago the Pennsylvania acquired
control of the Wabash, paying $90 a
share for stock no wselling around j
$1. Was that a prudent Investment
of funds on which the public through
freight, rates or in other ways should
now pay interest?
Mr. Couzens is constructive be
cause he proposed going to the heart
of the problem, instead of pouring
money into a railroad setup appro
priate to the 90's. He is constructive
because he does not talk of blame for
conditions, but of remedies. But he
does say that "the initiative is up
to the roads themselves." Milwau
