One would like to believe it but one would not venture to affirm it" A DAY OF HAZARDS The old timers referred to July Fourth as "The Day We Celebrate" The moderns Judging by the accident record the day usually leaves behind it celebrate it by stepping on the accelerator The National Safety Council regards July 4 as now observed as the most dangerous day in the year for traffic deaths and drownings reach their peak while it is passing into history The appeal now is for a "safe Fourth" supplementary to the older plea for a "sane Fourth" When you shift into high tomorrow and speed down the street or highway you will be happier perhaps the day after it you will recall to mind that 25 per cent of 1933's 492500 automobile accidents were the result of excessive speed: that another 24 per cent were caused by drivers who did not have the right of way at the moment that more than 12 per cent of the accidents were due to cars being driven on the wrong side of the road and another 12 per cent or 58900 occurred when cars left the road From these four causes 13500 lives were ended and 412500 persons were injured For every automobile driver the Tennessee highway sign legend "Please drive carefully" should have a very especial significance on July 4 THE TWel 1 A BIBLE THOUGHT And above all things have fervent charity gmong yourselves for charity shall cover a mid blinds of sins

Bolsheviam at its worst produced no more ruthless absolutism than Hitler le playing No dictator who has been evolved in the post-World War period has surpassed him in suppression of individual rights and all forms of liberty The protest that found expression in the Marburg speech of Vice-Chancellor von Papen wu bound to come Had not the Gem been so inflamed by the nationalism wMch Hitler had made the dominant appeal of his creed that considerations of individual right and submerged the reaction against his policies would have not been so long delayed Hitler had enthroned the state and enthroned himself In the state Freedom of speech of the press and of worship had been eliminated from German life Militarism was deified religious creeds were banned atheism proclaimed a national cult capital and labor alike were in bondage The national thought was concentrated upon revenge against victorious foes and preparation for another continental shattering struggle to restore national prestige Foreign trade was being stifled the public treasury exhausted and public credit again prostrated The nation was being forced by an arrogant and utterly selfish militarism Into a condition of political and economic isolation It was being surrounded by ring of steel The forces of conservatism among the people long suppressed and even threatened grew stronger under the realization that Hitler's policies instead of strengthening the nation were weakening it Vice-Chancellor von Papen simply expressed what a large dement of the nation was feeling and fearing The rale of cleavage between the radicals and conservatives had been steadily broadening Hitler's Storm Troopers whom he had first fashioned to be a weapon ready at hand for the promotion of his ambition were beooming by a curious twist Of fortune a menace to his power These troops were the center of Nazi strength but their privileges and power brought about excesses in the 2000000 of their ranks for vast number of Communists who increasingly drunk on power were demanding that Hitler resort to even more extreme methods to suppress opposition Their enmity hid been long and particularly directed against the Stahlhelm or Hehnets This Fes the organization of World War veterans at first numbering 900000 but Hitler had always been jealous and suspicious of them fearing their sentiments for the fallen monarchy The Storm Troopers finally demanded of Hitler that be disband the Stahlbelm and compel Its members to join the former Hitler had not completely lost his discretion however and did not dare to affront the veterans by such an order but hes did Issue a decree that they should wear the swastika emblem on their gray coat sleeves" The Reichhwehr or regular army of 100000 highly trained men and being the limit allowed under the Versailles been a stabilizing force through all the political transitions that have been witnessed in the fifteen years But it had never at heart been sympathetic with Hitler The various elements classed as conservatives the Stahthehn the Reichswehr the landed aristocracy a large Catholic group many Protestants and industrial leaders gave seriousness to the von Papen protest and even in the hours of his ruthless pursuit of his enemies Hitler is making proof that he dreads these elements for it must be accepted as significant that he has killed or Imprisoned Nazi leaders who were demanding even more radical policies than he was enforcing and because of dissatisfaction were plotting to overthrow him The dictator at least for the present is more firmly entrenched than ever Foreign torrespondente predict that Hitler sees clearly the growing clouds of revolt on his horizon and that he will veer to the right in an effort to lessen their growth The past year has seen both an intensification of Hitler's policies and a weakening of them His control of government has been absolute but he has not been able to stifle the thought to destroy the Judgment and to crush the strong Individualism that is basic to the German temperament and character There Is and must be an irreconcilable conflict between the greatness of Germany and the absolutism of Hitler A decisive measurement of strength may be poetponed but will not be permanently averted I STRUGGLE IN GERMANY i morn Mont finance depends more than anything else whether the dollar bills ear

object of the study Is the development of a higher quality of cotton Convincing evidence Is said to have been assembled by the Department of Agriculture that the quality of the staple can be Improved One branch of the study will involve planting of one variety in a region with a view of Snaking some particular variety the type of Its particular section The quality of the raw cotton produced In this country is described as far below what It should and could be and much of this disparity II considered the result of planting too many tarieties of the staple in the same neighborhood the quality of the crop produced being affected because of the mem pollination of the plants This would be obviated if one community confined its planting to one variety of cotton There are now being planted in this country so less than 1200 varieties of cotton Another matter which is held responsible for the quality ot the cotton grown is the seed or rather the use of indifferent ormixed seed To plant the cotton crop about 600000 tons of seed are required and only about five per cent of these seed come from regular seed breeders the remainder it is said being largelr run of the tin stock the seed as a result being largely lexixed and producing short irregular fibre of poor spinning quality The length of the fibre and its quality it is believed can be greatly tin-proved through a more general we of pure seed tot superior cotton types While studies are being made of the seed 60MMUllitY plantings and other problems there will be laboratory and mill studies of the well known varieties of cotton to

State and chairman of the administration'a executive committee on eommercial policy a service or marked int- portance Mr Sayre who for years wits a member of the Harvard faculty has had the advantage of first-hand contacts with problems oi tonal commerce and has been assembling a vast deal of matter bearing on that subject for use by President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull when the reciprocity treaties are Under Oonsideration There is full accord between Mr Sayre and the Secretary of State as to the importance of foreign trade as a factor in the economic recovery of this country Inasmuch as it is estimated that 7000000 people are directly or indirectly affected by the foreign trade of the United States although it amounts to only 10 per cent of the total domestic and foreign ft is manifest that there Is a positive connection between the probkm of restoring the heavily depleted foreign commerce of this country and the treatment of the matter of unemployment In his commencement day address at tirsinus College several weeks ago Mr Sayre said: "Today the existence throughout the world of an Intense economic nationalism is perhaps the Most outstanding fact of present-day life The simultaneous efforts of every nation to reduce purchases of foreign goods within Its ter- ritory and at the same time to increase its sales In foreign territory bears witness to the utter folly of nations trying to live apart from each other Yet the movement of economic nationalism hos now gained such world-wide force as to sweep into its rushing currents practically the

irregularities in Army purchasing has Issued statement exonerating Maj-Oen Benjamin You lois Chief of the Air Corps and all other aviation officials of any "financial dishonesty" in aircraft purchases I "Mistakes" according to the statement "were a matter of opinion or 'conviction: dishonesty was a matter of expression or deceitfulness No evidence of financial crookedness In the Air Corps between it and the industry has ever in any way been presented to the conunittee" Representative Kvale Minnesota Farmer-Laborite the acting chairman of the committee explained the statement by saying that he thought it was due in fairness to General Foulois whose retirement as Chief of the Army Air Corps was recently demanded by the committee "So far as aviation is concerned" said the acting chairman "the committee has escaped the unpleasantness of having to deal with a single individual either in the Army or aviation industry who had his finger on a dishonest penny" At the time the investigating committee made a report two Weeks ago making various charges against the Chief of the Air Corps and demanding that he be relieved as Chief of the Air Corps General Foulois insisted that he was being most unjustly treated by the committee and that he would be able to refute all the charges lodged against him The statement of the sub-committee exonerating him and other aviation officials of any
