Peace organizations have been stimulated to a new fury of activity. Parents, reading of happenings abroad, wonder audibly if this is the beginning of another series of events which may eventually take their sons away from home to die on foreign fields as was the case only 18 years ago, Diplomats, keeping close watch of the situation, are torn between a desire to protect American property interests and the knowledge that intervention on the part of our government would receive little support from the people of this nation. That the Spanish revolution will cause another general European war seems doubtful. The odds against any single incident, such as this, starting a general conflagration are rated by the experts at something like 10 to 1. The stage is not yet ready for war. The population pressures, while tremendous, have not yet reached the breaking point. In other words, the next crop of European cannon fodder is not yet ready for the grim harvest. x That the Spanish affair offers plenty of OPPORTUNITY for war is unquestioned. The interest of other nations in the form of government on the Spanish peninsula is too keen for the situation not to cause uneasiness in any peace-loving nation. Italy and Germany are clearly allied on the side of the revo- lutionists. They represent the Fascist way of thinking. France, now under the.most “liberal” government in its history—a government which verges on Communism in many. of its attitudes—wants to see the present Spanish government. retained. This is the major issue. Interwoven with it are religious and economic questions of a kind difficult for America to understand for, as a result of the state church which so long existed in Spain, religious organiza- tions had a prominent place in the country’s economic life. Overthrow of the monarchy upset this and at least some of the Fascists would try to restore it. In every major revolution of this character—and our own civil war is an excellent example—it is necessary to have an underlying economic divergence. Very often this is not men- tioned by the agitators on either side. Instead the spotlight is placed on some other issue which is more easily dramatized and which can be used to inflame the people more readily. Thus, when the North and South went to war, it was over the different economic interests of the two sections. Slavery was named as the issue merely because it more easily typified the conflicting views. In Spain we have one of the most curious class wars in modern history. It is unusual in that the revolutionists are really the Bourbons of the country seeking to win back their lost prestige and privileges. When the monarchy wis driven out and a democratic form of government came into being, the people indulged in much the same excesses, abuses and outrages which followed the French revolution. Old customs were ignored and Spain, sleepy for centuries, began the transition toward a more modern state. The present government is open to the indictment that too many of its followers couldn’t see the difference between liberty and license. The government’s course was erratic and not wholly constructive. Post-revolutionary governments usually are like that. The. lower crust of the upper classes were not alarmed. They welcomed the change. But as the processes went forward they, along with the upper middle classes, became alarmed. The new government was rapidly taking the army, traditional refuge for young men of good birth but little money, out of their hands. They were losing control of the military forces. Democracy was being applied too liberally. These are the seeds of the present revolt against a govern- ment which itself came to power through the same process only a few years ago. This fundamental difference in outlook is responsible for the bloodiest war since the treaty of Versailles ended the last world holocaust. It will continue until one side or the other wins but, wherever victory rests, it will be only a preview of the next war. This one helps to make the next inevitable. It is nothing to look forward to but America should be ready—ready to maintain her neutrality and to keep both men, money and munitions at home. alr elt Highway Sportsmanship Few offenses win such universal condemnation in America as the demonstration of poor sportsmanship and with that in mind the American Automobile association is offering a course in safety in the nation’s high schools which emphasizes the fact that bad driving is bad sportsmanship. The motorist who fails to yield the road on demand, who cuts in ahead of other drivers or who does any one of the score of boorish things which lead to accidents, is a poor sportsman when he does it and,the new course will make the fact plain. Maybe, when this attitude has had time to make its influence we will have more courtesy on the highways and fewer Scenes Washington Lewis and Green Clash May Help Re- publicans; ‘Middle Class’ Ballots May Offset Support of Unions. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 15.—Few poli- ticians have any more doubt as to where the bulk of the labor vote is going. The question most at issue is whether, when organized labor aligns itself rather solidly behind one presi- dential candidate, there won't be suf ficient adverse reaction from farmers and other middle-class voters to off- set the effect. A secret poll of the 17 members of the American Federation of Labor's executive council recently showed that all but two favored endorsement of Roosevelt by the council, This was especially significant, as the council includes but one member of the Committee for Industrial Or- ganization, whose leaders have been foremost in the pro-Roosevelt activ- ities of Labor’s Non-Partisan League. The council, however, is practically certain to refrain from such en- dorsement. The big obstacle is the fact that President ‘Big Bill” Hutche- son of the carpenters’ union, one of the three of four most powerful mem- bers of the council, has threatened to take his union out of the A. F. of L. if the council comes out for Roose- velt. Hutcheson is chief of the Republi- can National committee's labor di- vision. The other council member who opposes endorsement of Roose- velt is John Cofield, head of the plumbers’ union. ** * Green for Roosevelt President William Green of the A. F. of L., is a lifelong Democrat and has declared personally for Roosevelt, as have 20 state federations of labor, with more to come. Few of the big labor leaders who have announced for the president can be properly classi- fied as either Republicans or Demo- crats. Figuring from a strictly prac- tical point of view, they think they have “gotten more out of” Roosevelt than they would be likely to get from Landon. There is plenty of comfort for Re- publicans, however. It has yet to be demonstrated that either a political or other movement of organized labor outside labor ranks. The popularity of Calvin Coolidge after he received credit for breaking the Boston police strike is a case in point. Support of labor may lose Roosevelt many votes. * 8 * Lewis’ Foes May “Turn” Possibility that some crafts union leaders may turn against Roosevelt because they believe he is too sympa- thetic to John Lewis and industrial unionism may or may not material- ize. Feeling among some labor lead- ers is bitter and some of them aren't acting at all calmly. Green himself flew off the handle at a press conference when a news- Paperman, generally considered as well informed on labor questions as anyone in Washington, asked him who appointed the credentials com- mittee at the A. F. of L. convention— the committee which will pass on eligibility of C. I. O. union delegates and a committee which under by- laws is appointed by Green himself. “You know the answer to that,—,” teplied Green bitterly. “You're just trying to discredit me!” The correspondent said he wanted to apologize in case he had caused any embarrassment and then asked Green for an apology, which he didn’t * * % Snubs for John L. Later that evening Lewis was sit- ting in Harvey's restaurant after din- ner with two friends when four per- sons he knew came in, Mrs. William Hutcheson passed by with her nose slightly tilted. Presi- dent Dan Trecy of the electrical workers’ union bowed. President Henry Batés of the bricklayers’, ma- sons’ and plasterers’ union greeted Lewis warmly. President Hutcheson of the carpenters’ union, who was biffed by Lewis at the last A. F. of L. convention, stared straight ahead. Others in the dining room, recog- nizing all parties concerned, merely snickered. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

At this writing it would go for President Roosevelt. Sixty days hence it may show a material change. The key lies in what the Lemke- Coughlin ticket may do. The district Picnics given by the Lemke-Coughlin party are creating much enthusiasm and when Father Coughlin and Mr. Lemke appear at the state fair grounds soon @ record-breaking crowd is pre- dicted. What will all this mean in votes? The Lemke-Coughlin drive is already taking votes away from the Roosevelt party. For here in Minnesota there is an insignificant number of persons enrolled as Democrats. The two ma- jor parties are Farmer-Labor and Re- publican, The Farmer-Laborites are some- what disturbed by the entry of the Lemke-Coughlin-Townsend movement because the votes are to be obtained for it only at the expense of the Farmer-Labor party. Thus the Re- publicans are very confident of elect- ing their candidate for governor—per- haps by 70,000—and they think former Governor Christianson, a very able citizen, may win as the Republican candidate for the United States senate against Governor Floyd Olson. Mr. Olson is desperately ill. Reports as to his condition are conflicting. Anyway, he is at a hospital in Roches- ter, Minn., and has not been active and may not be. If he gets sufficiently better to get into the fight it is ex- pected he will trade votes with the Roosevelt leaders who, in return for help in his senate fight, will receive Olson votes to aid Mr. Roosevelt. So the governor's health or future tactics may play a commanding part in the outcome. At the moment, the Republicans have the best organiza- “David Lawrence tion they have had in many years. They talk confidently about carrying the state for Landon. Neutral sources put it this way: Mr. Roosevelt carried the state by 236,000 four years ago. He will be lucky to carry it by 50,000 this time and it might swing to Landon by exactly that amount. Should the third party of Lemke-Coughlin grow stronger, it will be a cinch for Mr. Landon. Business men show almost a united front in opposition to Mr. Roosevelt. ‘They insist his re-election will pro- auce additional uncertainty. They complain about the difficulty of doing business under the new tax bill and insist that uncertainty as to Roosevelt policies is robbing the present upward trend of any feeling of security for the future. : Out through the farm areas, those in touch with the farmers report an increasing opposition to the New Deal because of the importation of cattle from Canada. Secretary Wallace made &@ poor impression here by his state- ment insisting that only feeder cattle were coming in over the Canadian line when statistics were available at local offices showing that 90 per cent of the importations are cattle for slaughter. Among the farmers the sentiment for Landon has not yet crystallized. There is a curiosity as to how he will amplify his views on the agricultural plank of the’national platform. There is, incidentally, more and more disat- isfaction among farmers and city folks with the mounting public debt. It is the major topic of conversation wherever politics is discussed inform- ally by the voters. The idea that the farmers may have to pay higher and higher taxes to pay the cost of a fed- eral Santa Claus is becoming wide- spread, especially among dairy farm- ers—one class that didn’t come in un- der the AAA and which feels that the AAA thereupon imposed reprisals by encouraging the planting of forage crops in the south where cotton, for instance, was curtailed.” In this way it is felt that competitive dairying was stimulated. One hears strange tales here about deep religious feeling among Lutheran farmers, particularly Scandinavians, who are said to looking upon the drouth as a ment meted out by God pedple who would destroy animals. Then there are on the farms, too, about the rural labor. Many a story is boys going to CCC camps for “vaca- tlons” while farmers are everywhere in vain for labor.

No intelligent person should be content with a label of “rhumatism” in such circumstance. When one goes to the physician complaining of a lame knee or lame shoulder, if the doctor seriously regards the trouble as “rheumatism” one may fairly say: “Bo you have no idea what ails me, Doctor?” If the doctor still calls it “rheu- matism”—well, this is a free country and there are good doctors everywhere. Internal derangement of the knee, loose cartilage, locking, “joint mice” or floating bodies and thickened synovial fringes which get caught and pinched at intervals causing sudden disability, pain, swelling and perhaps effusion (water on the knee)—it is obviously futile to treat these surgical conditions as “arthritis.” The only satisfactory treatment in such cases is surgery. Sacro-iliac strain or relaxation is too frequently maltreated as “lumbago”, “sciatica” or “rheumatism.” osteopathic or physio-therapeutic treatment is the sensible remedy.
