SERVICE STATIONS
THE TEST OF GEE
MAN REPUBLICANISM
Representative government every
where in the world awaits with in
terest the outcome of the German
elections Sept. 14. The entire mem
bership of the Reichstag will be elect
ed, and upon the outcome depends
the future of republicanism in Ger
many. There are two menaces to the Ger
man Republic, one from the Nation
alists at the extreme right and the
other from the Communists at the
extreme left. The moderate parties
between those extremes must win
sufficient seats in the election to
overcome the united strength of both
the Nationalists and the Communists,
since these two parties, while in
capable of coalition, would gladly
join in destroying the republic. The
Communists are much the more fear
ed. Communism is not a great men
ace in Germany. Its works in Russia
have not escaped German observa
tion, and even radical elements in
German politics are anything but
Communistic. Nevertheless, the Com
munists had 70 seats in the last
Reichstag, and if they increase that
very much they might be able to pre
vent the formation of a republican
government by the moderates.
Unfortunately political faiths are
of so many shades in Germany that
it is only by joining the strength of
the moderate parties that republican
ism can live at all. There are up
wards of twenty parties in Germany,
one of them, the new States party,
not yet old enough to be the great
factor now that it is hoped it will be
come. The State's party, the Cen
trists and the Social Democrats con
stitute the largest and most depend
able groups in the center, and it is to
them that republicanism chiefly look3
in the present crisis. The outcome
cannot be regarded otherwise than
with anxiety by the rest of the world.
Germany is slowly making her way
out of the plight in which she found
herself after the war. If the Repub
lic can be preserved. Germany will
play a great part in balancing the
international economy. It would be a
tragedy from which none of us could
escape if Bhe were to be thrown Into
political chaos, and the rest of the
world looks confidently to the good
sense of the 40,000,000 German vot
ers.
-:o:-
THE OTHER TOURISTS
It is not uncommon for American
papers to speak disparagingly of the
impulse which leads so many Amer
ican citizens to swell the volume cf
tourist travel to foreign lands. It is
not so common that any among our
publications takes occasion to call
attention to the fact that foreign
tourist travel to America has attain
ed to considerable proportions. In
deed, the United States, according to
Dr. Julius Klein, Secretary of Com
merce, is making a tidy sum out cf
this class of business. Last year, says
Dr. Klein, foreign tourists spent
$180,000,000 in the United States.
The statement may surprise the aver
age citizen, and it perhaps should
give pause to a rather general grumb
ling at our own folk who find it pos
sible and desirable to see something
of other lands and other peoples.
Perhaps a good deal of this vol
ume of travel may come from the
Latin Americas or from Canada, but
it comes; and, gratifyingly, as the
figures show. Of course, $180,000,
000 in American eyes is not regard
ed as a prodigious -sum, but it repre
sents a healthy bit of money, and
it should be remembered that it
comes to us without any distinctive
solicitation. What might not this
travel amount to if America should
emulate the frenetic advertising ef
forts of other countries, designed to
attract visitors to their shores if
we should capitalize on the almost
inexhaustible national features of in
terest and attraction that we pos
sess? It is rather strange that we
have not done so!
:o:
THE SCOTCH OUT-SCOTCHED
When former President Coolidge
was a boy he had a little windmill
which he used to place where It
would spin. He made it himself, as
the news story infers.
The plaything was found a few
days ago in the cellar of the old
farmhouse. It had been stowed away
in a corner.
Mr. Coolidge, it is said, had for
gotten about it. But this is quite
doubtful. The tale is a good one to
tell in order to emphasize the con
ventional Scotch joke. It is a long
time since he was a boy.
:o:-
It Is dangerous to judge the past
by present day standards, or the pres
ent by standards of yesterday. Hu
man customs, habits, traditions and
beliefs are as mobile as the shifting
desert sands. That which one gener
ation deems blame worthy may be
praiseworthy to the succeeding gen
eration.
CONFESS, DR. FESS!
Senator Fess is irritated because
some Democratic spokesmen have
been so unsportsmenlike as to chide
the administration for the business
depression which, he says, "has come
upon us." At the risk of again stir
ring the old gentleman's ire we would
remind him that thr theory of Fed
eral responsibility for industrial pros
perity is not a Democratic invention.
Two years ago the Republican can
didate for the presidency told us, in
his speech of acceptance, that, untier
Republican rule, our population had
increased 8 per cent; our national
income more than 45 per cent; that
9,000,000 homes had been equipped
with electricity; that 6,000,000 tele
phones had been installed; that we
had gained 14,000,000 automobiles
and 7,000,000 radio sets; that we
had increased home ownership, doub
led the deposits in our banks and
building and loan associations and
nearly doubled our life insurance;
that the number of children in high
school had grown by 66 per cent and
in college by 75 per cent; that our
cities had built beautiful buildings,
parks and playgrounds; that our
states had built splendid Toads.
"Unemployment," he said, "is dis
appearing. The poorhouse is vanish
ing from among us." And what was
the cause of this glorious prosperity?
"Constructive leadership and co-operation
by the Government," said
Mr. Hoover, "has released and stimu
lated the energy of our people. Nev
er has a political party been able to
look back upon a similar period with
more satisfaction."
So here we have it. Prosperity was
due to 'constructive leadership by
the Government." Depression, on the
contrary, has merely "come upon
us."
No, Mr. Fess, it won't do. You
can't have it both ways. If Coolidge
is to get the credit for the radios and
the electric irons and the bathtubs,
then Hoover must take the blame for
the bread lines. If the present ad
ministration didn't cause the depres
sion and the drouth, no more did the
last one create industrial efficiency
and fill fat pay envelopes. This pros
perity propaganda has proved to be
a boomerang. Come now, Doctor Fess,
confess. Don't you wish you'd never
started it?
:o:
OVER THE LINDBERGH TRAIL
Ocean flights now occur with such
frequency that most of them have
been removed from the realm of spec
tacular derring-do. A notable excep
tion is the crossing the French flyers
from Paris to Long Island, backward
over the Lindbergh trail. If ever men
flew against odds Capt. Coste and his
aid, Maurice Bellonte, did. In 1927
their fellow countrymen, Charles
Nungesser and Francois Coli, at
tempted the first non-stop east-west
flight from the continent and were
lost at sea. After that six other men
and two men met death in similar at
tempts. Undaunted by the tragic
story of heroic failure, Coste and
Bellonte a year ago set out to bring
true the dream of Nungesser and Coll.
A wall of wind turned them back at
the Zzores. This year storms covered
them off Ireland, over the ocean and
near Nova Scotia. That countrymen
of Nungesser and Coli should succeed
where they failed belongs to the fit
ness of things. That those country
men should be Coste and Bellonte be
longs still further to that same fit
ness. France has returned the compli
ment.

COUPE,

(F. O. S. Detroit, plus freight and
delivery. Bumpers and spare tire

THE new Ford is a splendid
choice for the woman motorist
because it is so reliable and
easy to handle. Particularly
in heavy traffic, you will ap
preciate its quick acceleration,
alert speed, effective four
wheel brakes, and ease in steer
ing, shifting gears, turning and
parking. Another factor that
contributes to your feeling of
confidence and security in driv
ing the new Ford is the Tri
plex shatter-proof windshield.
This reduces the danger of
flying glass, a frequent cause
of injuries in automobile col
lisions. The Ford Motor Com
pany has provided it fcr you
on the new Ford as a contri
bution to greater safety on
every highway.
