That is the title of a book written by J.

K. Winkler, 1935, which gives much interesting data concerning this remarkable family. He quotes John J. Rascob as writing In .1934: "The duPont group' controls a larger share of Industry than any other group in the United States. There Is no group, Including the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Mellons, or anyone else that begins to control and be responsible for as much industry as does the duPont Company." John J.

Rascob should know. He and P. S. duPont sold each other several million dollars worth of stock at a great loss which wis deducted from their profits on their income reports. A short time afterward they sold them back Hitler's Speech UnofflcUlly, Hitler's speech before the Reichstag hat already been rejected because it was unofficially known in London and Paris what he was going to say.

The continued strong insistence from the Nazis, however, that the Athenia was sunk by the British has come to most Americans as an again to each other at the same way a cessation of Hitlerism which France and England are pledged to eradicate.

Now we are told that it is unneutral to make a postponed decision. We are, therefore, the victims of the belligerent nations We must no longer consider what Is in our own national interest, because to do so would be "unneutral." Here the word "dragged" might well be used.

We are being dragged by a postponed decision. But I am curious to know what belligerent or neutral nation will have the face to rise up and describe anything we may do as unneutral. Will Germany? Germany, you remember, did not even make war on Poland. That little venture was not a war. It was a "punitive expedition with pursuit." Will Japan?

In a dangerous world we are preparing to tie ourselves hand and foot by legislation in advance of situations which we cannot foresee. We are hampering our freedom of action and diminishing our polit mind in diplomacy has ever been strange and wonderful. Today the United States Is presented with a prime example of it in the "ti?" received officially ta Washington from the Nazi Admiralty. It asserts that an American ship bearing hundreds of war-stranded tourists home to the United States will be torpedoed by a British submarine in a scheme to place the blame on Germany in an effort to bring the United States in on the side of the Allies In the war against Germany. Now, of course, such a thing is perfectly possible.

The identity cf a submarine which sinks a ship need never be known. But that auch a suggestion should come from Germany and should be dignified by officisl transmission to Washington Is nothing short of revolting.

But we doubt that addition of numbers would have altered the result and we feel that the weather rather than any Indifference on the part of the electorate accounted for the comparatively small turnout. The outcome will be a gratification to Sen. Culhane and others who led (he opposition to city managership and a deep disappointment to Harold F. White and his fellow workers of the Citizens Good Government Association. These latter, with no other purpose than performing a civic duty, have given many long hours of labor to putting the case for the city manager charter before the people.

It was fine, unselfish effort they made and one that, despite the people's decision against has won them 'the respect and affection of their fellow citizens.
