Phones 1 and 586 IRST The return of the American ambas sador from Berlin, even though not formally recalled, is a distinct rebuke to the Nazi government. President Roosevelt's words on the question, em phasize that rebuke. Eespeeially these: "I myself could scarcely believe that such things could occur in a twentieth century civilization." As a matter of fact, the mobbing and robbing and persecution of the Jews and the mobbing of Catholic prelates did not occur in a twentieth century civilization. Macaulay speaks of the evil deeds of a government "which has the strength of civilization without its mercy." He never had such an ex ample as the Nazi government would furnish him now. For as a plain statement of fact, the Nazi government has taken leave of every attribute of civiliation, except its power. Using all the agencies, both productive and destructive, that mod ern science has placed at the disposal of man, it is conducting persecutions the like of which have not been seen in any part of Europe west of Poland since the Thirty Years War ended in 1648. The Nazi Minister of Economics, Walter Funk, says that $800,000,000 of wealth owned by Jews, about one third of the total wealth owned by Jews in Germany, has been confiscated. And the $400,000,000 fine levied on German Jews because of the shooting of a Nazi official is still to be collected. Funk summed up his work in the words: Twisting of thought and emotional currents— Expressed in apparent hypocrisies— As when an Alpine paperhanger— Bases his "rationalizing" on Aryan presuppositions— Or congenital atheists And them selves— In sympathy with Thor and Wotan— Hating Jehovah because he is a for eign god— Most frightful of all is the blood lust— Sure index of the primal beast— Ruthless toward both friend and foe— Most curious puzzle of all appears— In concatenation of modern intelli gence— With blind spots of tribal super stitions— Mental periods blanked by egotistic hallucination— Inevitably resulting in disorder of emotions— In anarchy of day-to-day kaleido scope of relations— Assuming greatly, that the intel lectual functions of a nation— Can be expressed and typified— By the cunning, twisted logic and audacity— Of a paranoiac brain.

In addition to the savagery of it, Funk's statement confirms the re peated stories that Hitler is having a hard time getting cash. In spite of all disturbances in the international field, British trade union membership has increased more than 500,000 in the last year, and now stands at 5,851,000. Except for the World War, that is the highest membership British unions ever reached. While union membership grows, the number of British unions declines. There are now 1,033 unions in Britain, 49 fewer than five years ago. Twelve unions have nearly half the total mem bership, and 40 have more than three quarters of it. With this fact in mind, the fact that British workers are getting more and more angry and disgusted with the British foreign policy has large mean ing. The last bulletin received from the Trade Union Congress, with head quarters in London, contains a scath ing denunciation of the Munich agree ment, and contains the definite charge that Britain and France, under Cham berlain's leadership, threatened mili tary measures against Czechoslovakia if she resisted. "Czechoslovakia was like a person held down by his 'friend' so that his attackers can rob him better/' says the bulletin. Which is still held by its traditions of decency— With catastrophes of Schrecklich keit— Not even yet believed— The normal world cannot accept the logic— Which now appears in its great arena, in control— Of this Implemented Monster. Exit For Bluecher (From The Washington Post) The mystery regarding the fate of Marshal Vassily K. Bluecher is only partially cleared up by the announce ment in a Moscow newspaper that his post as commander-in-chief of the Red army in the Soviet Far East has been filled. Is Marshal Bluecher, still in Russia or has he managed to find refuge abroad? Does he remain among the living or has he, perforce, joined that numerous band of civil and military workers in the Soviet vineyard who, having fallen afoul of Stalen, now rest in unlocated graves These questions are not answered. What appears cer tain is that a brilliant strategist and superb military organizer, who more than anyone else was responsible for the building up of Russian prestige in the Far East, has been summarily and inexplicably eliminated from the pic ture. The fact that Bluecher's popularity with the rank and file of the army he led did not prevent his being purged is eloquent proof of Stalin's power. The Soviet dictator is still obviously stronger than any he has come to re gard as a possible rival. But at the same time the Bluecher episode is fur ther evjdenpe of that disturbed and chaotic internal situation in the Soviet Union which has played so great a part jn sharply reducing P^s^ja's in ternational influence. The handwriting on the wall is usually Greek to most of us. o.?, The Nazi bandits are breaking all records of their ancient profession in the size of the ransom they are de manding from the Jews. As nearly as a layman could tell, the utility lawyers who attacked the T. V. A. before the Supreme Court laid down the doctrine that the Constitu tion forbids the government to do any thing that the power companies don't want it to do. Starting in 1939, General Motors will lend its workers during any week of idleness 60 per cent of their aver age weekly wage, to be paid back in work. A forward step, yet. But when a shoe factory in Massachusetts and a packing house in Minnesota guarantee an annual wage, paid by weeks—and succeed at it, why shouldn't G. M. try it? Highest Courts In 8 States Approve Public: Housing Legislation Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Na than Straus, administrator of the United States Housing Authority, hailed the decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia upholding the con stitutionality of the State Housing Authorities Law and the State Hous ing Co-operation Act as clearing the wag for Georgia's full participation in the nation-wide $800,000,000 slum clearance and low-rent rehousing pro gram. The Georgia decision brings to eight the number of state tribunals which have passed favorably on the validity of various provisions of pub lic housing legislation. In addition to the Supreme Court of Georgia, the highest courts of New York, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ala bama, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Florida have upheld provisions of sim ilar state housing statutes. Lumber Handlers Form A. F. of L. Union St. John, N. B. (ILNS).—In a three cornered battle to organize the scow men, surveyors, lumber and log hand lers, of the St. John district, the Amer ican Federation of Labor triumphed over the C. I. O. and All-Canadian Con gress of Labor. Organization of the Scowmen's and Surveyors' Union, Lo cal Number 1,578, has been completed with affiliation to the International Longshoremen's Association. The C. I. O. and All-Canadian Con gress of Labor had been attempting to form a union of St. John harbor lumber handlers and surveyors, but without results. The new A. F. of union starts out with a full comple ment of the men employed in the move ment of lumber into and out of the port of St. John. Lumber and pulp wood are brought to St. John in scows and barges for ocean shipment to Eu ope, Australia, South Africa, West In dies and the United States, Soon after the new union was or ganized, it successfully negotiated contracts for one year covering wage and working conditions with all of the lumber companies using the port of St. John. Hatters Score Again In Fight Against Runaway Shops Chicago (ILNS).—Another victory has been won by the United Hatters Cap and Millinery Workers' Interna tional Union in its fight against run away shops. In a preliminary decision by David F. Smith, trial examiner for the Na tional Labor Relations Boai'd, the Mur ray Hat Company, of De Kalb, 111., has been found guilty of violating the Na tional Labor Relations Act. The company had been in business in Chicago under the name of the Kronthal Manufacturing Company. To escape the union, it moved to De Kalb where it opened a non-union shop but again encountered stiff opposition from the union, which followed it to its new place of business, called a strike, and picketed the shop. The trial examiner recommended dissolution of the company union and cancellation of its contract with the company, reinstatement of eight em ployes fired for union activities, with back pay from the time of their dis charge last February, and immediate reinstatement, upon application, of all strikers, and displacement, if neces sary, of strike-breakers to make room for the strikers. fCiCTiCALLV ,, CP££CHL£?£HUH. nd icords are a womulfs ornament.?

(ILNS). —The Supreme Court refused to reconsider its denial of a review in the case of Tom Mooney, giving no reasons for its action. Justices Black and Reed, who voted for a review when the case was up in October, took no part in consid ering the appeal to reconsider. Despite the court's stand, Mooney probably is closer to freedom than he has been in 22 years. Culbert L. Olson, governor-elect of California, has re peated his campaign statement that he would consider Mooney's application for pardon in the light of his, Olson's, expressed belief that Mooney was not guilty of the crime for which he is serving sentence, but "had been con victed on perjured testimony and false evidence."
