PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY. OCTOBER 6, 1938 Kansan Comment From Homicide To Suicide In spite of President Roosevelt's plea that the warring factions of organized labor settle their differences before the strife seriously injures the workers themselves, William Green's American Federation of Labor and John L. Lewis' Committee for Industrial Organization today seem no closer to reconciliation than they were two years ago. Lewis has made no comment on the President's note, addressed to the annual convention of the A.F. of L. in Houston, but Green, commenting on the note, has announced that: "There isn't any immediate prospect that the A.F. of L. will make peace with the C.I.O." He accuses Lewis of repeatedly rejecting proposals that peace negotiations be renewed, but he does say that he believes the executive council of his organization would react favorably to a definite proposal from Mr. Roosevelt to serve as a mediator for labor's embellated factions. Since the President's labor advisers continually warn him that further madding in the strife would merely be a modified form of political hari-kari, there is of course virtually no hope of reconciliation to be effected that way. Formerly Representatives of the rival forms of organization continues to hurl charges of "Communism" and counter charges of "Fascism" at their opponents' ranks, when hailed before the Dies Congressional investigation of "un-American activities." Meanwhile, the interests and individuals lumped together under the blanket label of "big business" continue to rub their hands together and chuckle gleefully over organized labor's apparent homicidal and suicidal tendencies. And meanwhile, also public opinion—which swung from the cause of the industrialists to that of the laborers early in the depression—continues to imperceptibly "claim against unionism in any form factions refuse to realize that in a way their opponents they are als a stranger hold on their own threats. Autocracies are men's countries. It is only the democracy that is a woman's country. When a dictatorship is set up, it is the religious and racial minorities that suffer first, then the women. The position of woman has vison in proportion as democratic principles have been instituted and maintained"—Bruce Barton. No Hits, No Runs And No Errors Those cannonaders of modern baseball, the New York Yankees have bludgeoned their way to a third consecutive American league title. In the senior league, the Chicago Cubs injected new managerial blood in mid-season to come up from behind and pass the Pittsburgh Pirates in a stormy finish. Hartnett did the trick and is now Chicago's man of the hour. But he probably forsees, as most crafty baseball fans do, the time when he will be old stuff. Two colorful characters, typical baseball heroes, stand out on the Chicago team; Dizzy Dean and Gabby Hartnett. Hindered by a sore arm, Dean did little pitching this season. But in the Cubs' stretch drive, he scored his seventh victory at a critical time. The other man is not talkative as his nickname implies. Rather he is an exceptionall smart catcher with a bullet-like peg to the bases, a strong batting average and a fiery spirit to win. When he was chosen to replace competent Charley Grimm as manager, most Cub fans were satisfied. The National leaguers with such day-in and day-out stars as Lee, Bryant, Berman, Hack Reynolds, and Calan will now try to usert the Yankee throne. That they can survive the New Yorker's bashing, with Di Maggio, Relfe, Gehrig, Henrich, and Dickey in the fore, is doubted by most of the boys who lay the bets. "Public opinion is everything. With it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed. He who moulds public opinion goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, for the moulder of public opinion makes statutes possible or impossible to execute."—Lincoln. They Fear Spoken Words. Why? Tosseinii's enforced stay in Italy has caused more adverse publicity, that all-powerful gen law of attitudes, for the Fascist cause than for encouraging remarks the maestro might make. As a conductor of symphonic orchestras, and not as a lecturer, Toscanini is respected. Being primarily a musician, however, his opinions on political matters are not highly respected. The official explanation for not permitting Arturo Toscanini to leave Italy was that he is a "very talkative man." Officials stated that, "as long as Toscanini is in Italy we can control his words. It is only when he is outside the country that we cannot regulate them." But Italian officials could not foresee the falsity of their reasoning. Like a newspaper, the facist dictatorship cannot admit mistakes; That is admitting the cardinal si of infallibility. Consequently propagation of their failures, dispensers of adverse opinions are controlled. Thus Toscanini was held—to "control his words." Words and Promises Fool Even Us During the past two or three weeks the entire world has been hung on the words of a protecatic orator in Germany. Each speech was breathlessly awaited; every phrase of those speeches was carefully conned for possible implications. There isn't much logic in this. We are amazed, even amused, because Germans are apparently willing to believe anything that Hitler tells them. Yet our own reactions to his savortails are no less than he would wish. When he screams, we are frightened. When he cajoles, we are soothed. When he says "this is our last territorial demand in Europe," we feel reassured. Since when has Hiller's word become dependable? Since when has he abandoned his "end justifies means" policy? Since when has he stepped using words as smoke-screams — both for German consumption and world mystification? There is no reason to believe he has changed. He is still the one who told Mussolini that Austria would retain its sovereignty. He is also the one (as the New York Herald- Tribune reminds us) who said to the Reichstang 'ust a year and a half ago: "We have no territorial demands to make in Europe." It soothed us then. It soothes us now. And meanwhile Hitler peacefully marches across borders.

Conservatives who have wired at a *n* few of the professor's cautious remarks need no longer be alarmed. He stands today where they did 20 years ago. He belongs to the school of thought which believes Europe should be made into a nice imitation of America—even if we have to beat them up in order to tear them down. Golden Colden is a powerful nation in the world and it should encourage all the liberal forces and bolster up Great Britain and France in opposing dictatorships." Which is all very well, but does Brittan and France really want to do this very thing? A LADY OR A FASCIST REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc. No one questions the sincerity of John Lee. But there is a need to question the sincerity of France and England, and also their ability to carry on democratic and liberal ideas in Europe before any American blood is spilled once more for idealism. For the recent crisis showed that the democracies of Europe have not so much a feeling for democracy as they have a feeling of the expediency of democracy. It also showed that they possess an amazing admiration for the expediency of fasion and a few of its nice aspects. Democracy is made of sterner stuff than Europe—at least democratic Europe—possesses today. Democracy is not built on weakness, nor on hypocrisy, nor on outright betrayal. And in all of these qualities John Lee's guardians of civilization proved past mistresses during the crisis. So much so that a woman and an ominous or political alliance to save democracy for the very people who have just stalled democracy in the back? The Munich agreement birds England and France to the fascist powers, yet there has been no general outburst of dismay at the shameful alliance in either of the two countries. The only reaction has been one of relief. "No liberal or democratic ideas" permeated the new treaty which is "to save Europe for a generation." It is as vicious as the Treaty of Versillies, and it repeats many of that documents' worst features. No lasting peace can be built on hatred, district, deceit, or betrayal, which were the cornerstones of the Munich agreement. So before John Ise mounts his charger to his lead Oreid Reservers into the thick of the inevitable European meles to champion the cause of Lady Democracy, he should first submit his lady love to the acid test. He may find that democracy as practiced in Europe is not the lovely thing he imagines, that the gleam in England's eye may well be one of hate and covy rather than brotherhood and equality. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the lady turned out to be something of a bushy. The first meeting of the year was announced to be at 7:30 tonight in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
