A snail, fastened to a card three

BLAMING HOOVER
Has any democratically elected
statesman ever been as unpopular
as Mr. Hoover? A friend of mine
who nays frequent visits to the
United States writes to me from New
York that Hoover's name is now uni
verraUy linked with the depression
and that a common form of New
1 ear s greeting: is to turn cut an
empty pocket. It is called the "Hoo
ver salute." "Two more years of
Hoover and Gandhi will be the best
dressed man in the world" is another
pcpular saying. The Hoover-Meiion
story has already come to England,
but not in its correct form. The
original version is:
Hoover ana .Mellon walking m
Washington.

I want to calf -wp a friend.

THE MINUTEMEN USE AGAIN
The embattled farmers of Con
cord and Lexington have again fired
a shot, and if it is not heard around
the world it may at least be heard
in Washington. If so, it will be
heard there with amazement and
with what other mixed feelings of
joy and terror will depend on the
attitude cf statesmen toward the
the threat or hope cf states rights
as they may respectively see it
But there can be no doubt about
Washington's amazement, for Con
ccrd and Lejflngton have called out
their minutemen to repel a federal
appropriation proposed by Senator
Walsh of Massacnuseus to taKe over
the towns two battlegrounds and
maintain them a national memor
ials of the War of the Revolution.
So far as available records show.
this is the first time a federal appro-
pi iation has been repelled oy any
American communtiy, and it may be
the momentous occasion marks the
beginning of a new revolution for
the return of the government of the
states to the people thereof. In the
confusion attending the opening war
of this magnitude, dispatches are
neeesfarily brief and obscure, but as
nearly as we can make out. Concord
and Lexington take the position that
their battlegrounds are Massachu
setts battlegrounds and that the fed
eral government, which did not fight
the Redcoats at the North Bridge
or on Lexington common, ana in
deed did not exist at that time, has
nothing to do with them
The position strikes us as sound
and well calculated to make con
gress pause in its reckless course of
showering down federal money on
sovereign states even when they
have their hands outetretched for it
The rude arch that spans the flood
at Concord and the Common at Lex
ir.gton are not national. When Paul
Revere set out from Boston on his
midnight ride he had not heard of
the United States, and when the
minutemen of Concord and Lexing
ton sprang to their arms the only
government they had heard about
that was in any sense American was
the government cf the selectmen of
their respective towns. Nor did con-
gress furnish the arms to which they
r
sprang.
Senator Walsh,, being a Democrat,
probably never has heard of the doc-
trin nf ships' riht! n(i lwal cpif.

"AT TAIL OF FRENCH CAET"
Diplomats with whom I talked in
Vienna told me with the greatest
freedom that the events of the last
few months had detached their coun
try from Germany and had put her.
however reluctantly, at the " tail of
the Fjrench cart. They considered!

ation. I
"What can we do?" they asked,
ana men repeaieu, m siriinB iaau-
on, what I had heard in Berlin. I
'France has all the power, and in-1
tends to use it solely for her own
a?er.mdlzment. Germany is at last I
aa ,nnoiMc v,- a r
years,
she has been counting on aid from
Great Britain or the United States,
hoping that these countries would
intervene and compel France to be
reasonable. England and America
have not the power, even if they had I
the will to help. We must take from
France such terms as we can get. If
they are bard terms, so much the
worse for us."
When I suggested, perhaps with
American optimism, that with the
next election France may move to
the left, and the new government
may of its own accord take a more
reasonable position, they shook their
heads sadly and smiled.
We have, been here in Central Eu
rope for a long time, they said in
effect, but we have yet to see any
government, whatever its supposed
political theories, which acts other
i
than in accordance with realpolitik.
