Speaking for a Nation Rarely has any national leader so clearly expressed the ideas of his own people on an important matter as did President Roosevelt in his message to the rulers of 54 nations Tuesday. The statement proved the kinship of the chief executive with the man in the street and on the farm. It was couched in language such as any other American might have used, dis- daining the usual formalities of diplo- macy and the kind of words which are used to conceal thought. P, ‘Every American will hope that the Message Will be received in the spirit which actuated the president to send it; a spirit of fairness, good will and @ desire for real advancement of the cause of peace and stability. People whose only ideas are based on precedent will regard this action of the president with some alarm, but there is no need for that. It cannot possibly do us or anyone else harm and it may do a great deal of good. In effect it demands that all of the been enlisted to stamp out ideas that rulers did not like; and nothing of Permanence has ever been accom- Plished. The fight against a book, against an idea, against a song, is one fight in which ultimate defeat is written in the stars, ‘When a man gives a book to the world—provided. that his book has Teal meat in it and not just a tale told to amuse idle minds—he con- tributes something which his fellows will use as long as it contains any- thing of value for them. A book is the embodiment of a dream, the 00 clothing in words of a vision, the in- carnation of an idea; and it is one of the ironies of existence that such things, utterly lacking in material Substance, are among the world’s im- Perishables. To be sure, you can take the book and burn it. You can take the author and burn him too, if you like; you can send soldiers into homes and dis- Possess any people you find reading the book or talking about it. But you accomplish nothing, aside from adding momentarily to the world’s Stock of pain and its list of heroes. History will remember you only be- cause you tried the impossible. And the thing you fought against will go on working, as long as there is any work for it to do. Your bon- fires will die down and their ashes will grow cold; but the flame that was the book itself will keep on burn- ing as long as men anywhere need its light. a ecm a ama a Weather Report | @—-sCits FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Show- ers tonight and possibly Thursday morning; cooler tonight.

Of all national leaders President Roosevelt is the only one who could safely take this action. He speaks for the only, country in the world which approaches present interna- tional council tables with an advant- age over the others and which is free from the fears, jealousies and ani- Mosities which have made efforts toward peace a mockery. We, of all peoples, have no fear of swift invasion in the event of trouble. ‘We alone have borders without forti-| pegu fications and which need none. On the north we have Canada, a friendly nation with whom war is all but inconceivable. On the south there is Mexico which in no event could offer a major threat. East and west we have wide oceans which would be more effective in repelling invasion than a thousand forts, Internally we are the only country in the world which could be wholly self-supporting. With the exception of a few edible products everything we now use, including practically all of our luxuries, could be produced within our own borders.

In demanding for his Nationals “the Tight to live” Hitler said: “It is not wise to rob peoples of the economic possibilities of existence without taking into account that hu- man beings depending thereon, now as before, exist as a factor demanding the right to live. “The idea of rendering service to other peoples by destroying economic- ally a people of 65,000,000 is so absurd that nobody can dare today openly to espouse it. “Even more absurd was it to try to effect this destruction by methods which, according to the law of cause and effect, sooner or later had to lead the victors into catastrophe.” Turning to the subject of repara- tions, the chancellor said: “Germany fulfilled the imposed ob- ligations despite the lack of sense in- herent therein and the consequences which could be foreseen, with @ fidel- ity that was truly suicidal.” “The international economic crisis is unimpeachable proof of the correct- ness of this assertion. x x x Europe going under in Communistic chaos would conjure up a crisis in the world’s development of unmeasurable Proportions and indeterminate dur- ation. “It is the most solemn wish of the national government to prevent such unpeaceful development by its sincere and active cooperation.” Explains German Program The chancellor explained the Na- tional Socialist revolution as contem- Plating: First, preventing a Communist over- throw. Second: Leading millions of unem- Ployed back to productive labor. Third: Re-establishing the stable authority of government. ‘These purposes, he said, in nowise contravened the interests of the rest of the world. The chancellor asserted the “Ver- sailles Treaty was no solution, never- theless no German government will break of the it which can- not be removed without being sup- Planted by a better one. “The worst effect of the Versailles division into victors and vanquished is the forced defenselessness of one part of the nations as compared with the exaggerated armaments of others.” he said. Germany demands disarmament by other nations, he continued, because equality is moral, legal and sensible. He pleaded with the victors that the advantages of the moment are nothing compared with the develop- ment of centuries. Germany, France and Poland will continue to exist, he said, and “Ger- many wants nothing she is not ready to give to others.” Offering a re-capitulation of the arms Germany has destroyed, and asserting that the nation now is dis- armed, the chancellor declared: Storm Troops Not an Army “It is untrue that the storm troop- ers of the Nazi party stand in any relation to the Reichswehr and that they constitute militarily trained units or army reserves. “The storm troops started without any aid or financial support of the state, the Reich or the Reichswehr, and without any military training and equipment, merely for party purposes and needs. “Their purpose was and is solely the removal of the Communist danger. Their organization is purely for prop- aganda purposes. 4 “The Steelhelmet (an organization of war veterans) arose from the mem- ory of common experiences in the trenches for the purpose of fostering the tradition of comradeship and also eae protect Germany from Commun- “The danger of Communism other nations cannot measure. If the states- men at Geneva claim that these are military units they might as well in- clude also fire departments, turn- vereins, rowing clubs and sports or- ganizations.” The Reichstag, convening in the Kroll opera house because its own, building was damaged by fire a few months ago, had waited in tense ex- pectation for the chancellor's presen- tation of Germany’s case before the world. This expectation was shared by thousands lining the adjacent square. Former chancellor Heinrich Bruen- of its own accord, bring about a CHAPTER FIFTY The bubchen was well. He was chubby and blooming.

Lily Lou wept. “Pshaw!” Mrs. Jensen said,’ “don’t you care! They never know) anybody really at that age.” Lily Lou was not comforted. She told Tony about it when he came in to see her that evening. “Sure, he’s too young to remember. Let’s eat and youl feel better,” he said. He had with him a can of anti- pasto, two tins of anchovies and a long loaf of Italian bread and half’ a pound of Swiss cheese. She made coffee and they: feasted. “Too bad Maxie is out.

War are still with us. We see the futility of going on as the world has been going, giving up blood and treas- ure to lay ghosts which constantly ar reappear to trouble nations. We think | N#polecn. it would be best to dispel these ghosts intelligently by recognizing them for ‘Willisto1 what they are, the products of fear, hate and greed. It is a new form of diplomacy which ‘we have witnessed and common sense dictates the observation that it may work no better than other attempts which have gone before it. But we can console ourselves with the thought that failure in such efforts has been the lot of the world since history began. ‘Win or lose we have got it off our chest. The president spoke for us all. The Thoughts Endure - It is almost like going back into the middle ages to read of Germany's attempts to put the torch to all books which do not conform to the notions of Adolf Hitler. Those bonfires, squares from one end of Germany to the other, may have seemed to the Nazis like the beacon fires of a new day, a day in which every thing “non- German” is to be destroyed. In Teality they marked the camps of an army engaged in the most hopeless Of all lost causes—the attempt to make force triumph over the ideas of men. It has been tried before, over and over again.

And, oh, Tony, if I just had enough to hire someone to take care of the bubchen here Maxine would even agree to that! And there aren’t many that would, now, are there, Tony?” For answer he swore in his na- tive Italian. Then he got up and began to pace the floor, waving his arms, muttering to himself: “To think that I—that I would cut off my right arm for you—” “Tony!” “Don’t stop me, I adore you. You know that. Always—from the first. And now this hellish poverty. Bills, debts, bills! Nothing to of- fer you.” Lily Lou’s mouth twitched. She didn’t know whether she was going! to laugh or cry.

Because all that—all love—everything like that—is gone for me. Dear Tony, I loved the man I married, and I couldn’t ever—couldn’t ever—” “You still love him!” “Yes, I suppose so, Tony. Not that it matters.” “After all that is past you can still love him?” “Yes, no matter what he did, it| ing, who headed the nation when Hit- ler was struggling up toward power, ‘was conspicuous in the capacity house. The diplomatic boxes were filled. The absence of the cheering storm troop phalanxes, usually present for important Nazi and government cere- monies, was especially noteworthy. The chancellor, beginning in an even voice, afterwards warmed to his subject, especially when he called for the new young Germany rights and privileges the same as any other na- tion, Details Nation’s Grievances There were roars of applause when he scathingly detailed his account of the injuries inflicted on Germany by the victors in the war, saying these facts could not be compensated for by sanctimonious phrases. Assuming the defensive the chan- cellor asked: “What concrete safeguards does France demand beyond the interna- tional obligations already assumed? What safeguards is Germany to have?” Then, after presenting detailed fig- ures regarding French armaments, he continued: “Even Germany is ready at any time to assume further obligations of an international nature provided other nations also are ready. “Germany would dissolve her en- tire military establishment and des- troy what little armaments are left "A THING: \ OF BEAUTY ‘ 19 A JOY now.

For all the girls who want to be singers, and are going to fail? Aren’t you sorry for me too? I am—I could weep for all of us—” He had been sitting on the piano bench. He rose now and took her gently into his arms. “Don’t say Gwin—it’s ridiculous, Say Dwight—” “Dwight, then—it doesn’t matter, does it?” He held her off at arm’s length, studying her. Her sweep of dark, raving hair, her fabulous lily-like skin, her dark brows, her full scar- let lips. “Yes, it matters. It mat- ters a lot. You’re not altogether a fool.

Mrs. Jensen was making up her mind for her. eee e At rehearsal that night the chorus master singled her out to sing a difficult phrase alone. Afterwards he said, “Very soon, my dear, very soon now, we shall hear from you. This season the minor parts and next season... who knows? Take care of your throat, mind, no straining! Do not force that white tone. Remember that interpretation is the big thing. But I need not say that to a pupil of Gwin.” She told Gwin what he had said, hoping to propitiate him. He smiled, and said nothing. He was coaching her in two en- tire roles now, Traviata and But- terfily. She already knew Rosina in The Barber of Seville, and Gilda in Rigoletto, and Mignon and Manon would follow. Could anyone expect her to give up a chance like that? Wesn’t there some way? Some way... but she couldn’t think of any . “What IS the matter with you?” Maxine demanded, that night. “Nothing. Just—finances.” “Fudge! With Gwin to back you, and Tony in line for the big money too, and Nahiman—” “She’s in Europe!” “Landed today, on the Tle de France. Don’t you read your papers?” Lily Lou piled the unwashed dishes on the sink, grabbed her hat and coat. “Hotel Ritz,” she told the taxi man she hailed at the corner, Nahlman might not be at the Ritz, of course. She might be out. She might not even consent to see er. At the desk she asked NahIman’s room number, and was curtly re- fused the information. A young man in a creased tweed suit who had followed her to the desk turned away just as she did, “Hard luck!” he said. “Yes,” she said, trying to answer his blithe smile. She walked over to a chair to sit for a while. Perhaps some idea ‘would come to her. Perhaps Ma- dame Nahlman might come in, and see her, Or, she might go to a pub- Hic telephone and call the hotel and ask for Susanne Coin! She started up. The strange man was right beside her, “What's the hunch?” he asked her. “Why—I don’t know just what mean—” you “Aren't you a newspaper wom- an?” “Oh my goodness, no!” He grinned. “My mistake. Thought you were too pretty for it. I had a hunch myself. Thought J might let you in on it.” She dismissed him, smiling, wish- ing him luck. After a while he strolled over toward the elevators, and Lily Lou gathered courage to go to the public telephone, and ask for Susanne Coin. “It’s Lily Lou! Lily Lou Lansing! I just heard you in on the De de France. I wonder if Madame—” “Why, Miss Lansing, how glad I am to hear of you... just a mo- ment, heatd me call your mame. Where are you? Down- stairs?
