Sometimes, when we note the things which go on about us, we are inclined to doubt it, but our faith always is restored by ; demonstrations of selflessness and sacrifice in such heroic - mold that it could have only Divine inspiration, One such story was told in Bismarck the other day by Dr. J. M. Flude of Hollywood, western representative of the Ameri- can Society for the Control of Cancer. Few things have so challenged modern science as the cause of cancer and the hunt for a cure. Men have devoted their lives > to cancer research and, according to Dr. Flude, many have been * willing to give their lives in an effort to gain more knowledge. 5 At Bar Harbor, Maine, there is a cancer research institute * which is financed by an endowment fund. Working there are : men of high skill and mental attainments who probably would * do well for themselves if they thought more of themselves. « But many of them are working on salaries of $100 to $125 a «month. They would rather be able to say that they had a ~ hand in finding a preventative or a cure for cancer than possess all of the money in the world. But that is not a major sacrifice. It is only incidental to their idea of what constitutes a worthwhile life. The real sig- - nificance of their devotion lies in their willingness to give up : life itself. < One of the things which has long troubled experts is » whether cancer is transmissible from one human being to an- cther. Experiments on white rats and guinea pigs are all right _in their way but there was one real way to find out. That was to try it. : So not one but several of these scientists permitted cancer - cells to be transplanted from the body of a cancer victim to . their own living bodies. They were willing to become human * guinea pigs themselves that humanity might know a little more about a dreaded scourge. There was risk involved, of course. Risk of a slow and painful death, but the possible reward was worth the chance, As a matter of fact they proved definitely that cancer is not transmissible. As it turned out they ran no risk. But their spirit was the same as that of Walter Reed, who gave his life in the fight against yellow fever, and of countless others who have offered themselves as sacrifices for the rest of humanity. Let cynics laugh when theologians assert that man is made in the “image and likeness of God.” There is ample proof that it isso. And among the best of these proofs are the daily dem- - onstrations that man does not live by bread alone, that his soul » reaches out constantly toward the infinite. < Nordic Inferiority Complex Basic reason for the bitter opposition to Jews in Germany, «according to propaganda being sent out to American news- Papers by the Nazis, is an inferiority complex on the part of the German “Nordics.” This is peculiar in view of the fact that the theory of Nordic supremacy has long been a tenet of many persons who live, or : whose fathers lived, in the north of Europe. ‘ The Nazi confession is not, of course, made in so many ‘words. On the contrary, mention now is being made of the » cultural advance of Germany since the Jews were forced into =, 8 subordinate position. But the conclusion is inescapable. ns In a pamphlet sent to American newspapers and entitled & “The Truth About the Jews in Germany,” mention is made of the influx of Jews from the east into Germany immediately 2 after the World War, when the Jewish population rose rapidly «. by reason of immigration from Poland. These, it is asserted, with the aid of their compatriots already there, began to enlarge their influence upon the eco- / nomic, political and spiritual life of the country. The nature of this advance is indicated in statistics which revealed that of the teachers in the University of Berlin 45 per cent of the faculty of medicine were Jews. Similar figures are given for other branches of science and other universities which show that, in proportion to the population, the Jews had obtained far more recognition in science-and teaching than was = to be expected. Similar figures are given for practicing attor- & neys, medical practitioners, the theatrical business, stock ex- = changes and general trade and industry. These show that the * Jews were doing well. In short, on the basis of the showing made, it is easy to _ reach the conclusion that the Jews were generally superior in ability to the native German stock. Either they worked harder or they learned more easily. Hence they rose to the top. : The result was jealousy on the part of other Germans. _ They disliked Jews because they found them tough competition for places in the higher reaches of German business and cul- tural life. To put it bluntly, other Germans had found them- _ telves unable to compete. Thus the field was well prepared for _ Hitler and his anti-Jewish propaganda. . 4 «It is not a pleasant story. And it does come as a shock to anyone who always has had implicit faith in the idea of Nordic PLE ORES A BOTH SIDES of the CAMPAIGN publican Head Assails New Deal for ‘Fumbling With Recovery’ and Hails Landon Election. By JOHN HAMILTON (Chairman Republican National ’ Committee) “The time has come to stop this fumbling with recovery!” The words are those of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas, Republican can- didate for the presidency. They were part of his speech accepting the nom- ination of his party. No more power- ful phrase was uttered in any political campaign. No better reason was ever given why the American people should, at once, terminate the New Deal, and elect Gov. Landon president of the United States. The Kansas governor has a reputa- tion for knowing how to work, a repu- tation for keeping his word, a reputa- tion for being far too intelligent to be tooled, and far too courageous to be frightened. Recovery is what the New Dealers have been trying vainly to bring about during the last three and a half tor- tuous years. Their many sins have been committed in “recovery's” name. But they have fumbled from one fail- ure to another, never quite succeeding in grasping firmly either recovery or the fundamentals of American democ- racy. That is the issue in all its clarity. President Roosevelt's and the New Deal's policies have fostered monopoly, threatened the nation’s credit, driven needed capital from the field of in- dustrial enterprise, increased unem- ployment and undermined confidence in representative government. ee % Facts Tell the Story Lucid understanding by the voters of the facts of New Deal mismanage- ment will go farther toward electing Gov, Landon to the presidency than any political argument, no matter how carefully marshaled. Facts on which the New Deal's record is built are not disputable; neither can they be an- swered by wisecracking, at which 50 many New Deal apostles excel. Wrapped in the complete belief of their own omnipotence, it has been the position of the New Dealers that there’ was no righteousness on earth until they took command, Under such illu- sions President Roosevelt not only scuttled a party platform, but broke promise after promise, much like a child who leaves her broken dishes, forgotten, to get new ones which will shortly suffer a similar fate. The New Deal today stands indicted before the bar of public opinion be- cause it brought regimentation instead of recovery, extravagance instead of economy, burdensome taxation instead of greater personal security, propa- ganda instead of truth; because it sub- jected human misery and starvation to political machinations, substituted partisan and selfish politics for states- manship, and brushed aside constitu- t:onal rights in the greatest invasion of personal privacy the nation has ever known, ee * Wastefulness Charged Tt has been a spendthrift. govern- ment and wasteful to an extreme, spending twice as much as it has taken in. It has spent more than did the administrations of the first 24 presidents of the United States in 122 years of office, It has passed 14 new laws involving taxation and doubled the tax bill of the country. The New Dealers have received from a Roose- velt-dominated congress blank checks totaling $13,500,000,000, forcing deficit upon deficit and the national debt to at all time high, The unfinished | Passamaquoddy power project, upon | which millions were spent to capture | Maine voters, is a prime example of New Deal waste. Meanwhile a starving and depres- | sion-torn people who had every right | to expect aid from their government, found that it was necessary to adopt New Dealism as a political faith to get a New Deal relief job at even a pittance wage. Voters were forced to change their registrations, and these who did not found themselves back on the dole, * 9 * Flayed for Propaganda New Dealers used relief money to create a huge propaganda machine, which hired more than 6,000 experi- enced propagandists and was not ex- ceeded even by the World war setup. The World war machine was used to build patriotic fervor. The Farley ma- chine is used to build favorable New Deal sentiment, and perpetuate the New Dealers in office at the expense ot the taxpayer. Hand in hand with the propagandists goes the huge spy ring of hired snoopers, hired by the New Deal, which has ruthlessly pulled aside the curtain of privacy assured citizens by their constitution. In three years the New Deal has doubled taxes paid by the consumer. Before President Roosevelt took office consumers’ taxes contributed only 30 per cent to the cost of government. Today, by the president’s own admis- sion, the consumer is paying 60 per cent. A $1500-a-year mian pays $200 in hidden taxes, The New Dealers promised to aid the American farmer, but they could cculd not sign Mother Nature on the aotted line. Their program of planned scarcity, plus the drouth, means that America is importing millions of dol- lars worth of foodstuffs to take the place of that destroyed. Such a record does not deserve tite renewed confidence of the voters. THE BISMARCK TR AY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1936 July Looking at the Campaign (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Portland, Me., Sept. 18—(@)— Governor Landon will carry the elec- toral vote of the state of Maine over President Roosevelt by between 60,000 and 70,000 in November, This is at least 15,000 more than the highest vote cast for anybody in this week’s election, in which the Republicans, by a clean. sweep, won the governor- ship, a United States senatorship, and all three memberships which this state has in the house of representa~ tives. Also, this ineans that Mr. Landon is nearly 25,000 stronger than was Mr. Hoover when he carried Maine four years ago. Democrats told me this privately and, of course, Republicans take it for granted after studying the trends in the Monday election throughout the state. I had an excellent opportunity, through the courtesy of the “Bangor News,” to get an insight into the mean- ing of the election returns. There were gathered at the office in Bangor sev- eral Republicans and Democrats, party workers and local candidates. And |be it said in commendation of these Maine folks in politics, they certainly know every nook and corner in the state. As the returns came from each important precinct, we compared the votes with the same districts two years ago, when Gov. Brann, Demo- crat, carried the state by about 27,000, and Fred Hale squeezed through on the Republican ticket for the United States senate by less than 2,000. It was interesting and significant te note the way districts which were Democratic two years ago turned around this time, but I was curious to learn, and nobody was able to ex- plain, why in so many places Gov. |Brann’s vote of two years ago dropped off and was not correspondingly added to the totals of Senater White, his Republican opponent. Maybe there are Jeffersonian Dem- ocrats in Maine who are themselves refraining from going to the polls, feeling that they do not like to vote the Republican ticket, but, at the same time, do not wish to aid the New Deal. The stay-at-home vote was not at all on the Republican side. For the Republicans increased their vote materially almost everywhere. | In- deed, there was a total of about 310,000 it. Roosevelt the New Deal “in the light of a changing economic order.” BIT OF HUMOR NOW AND THEN (8 RELISHED BY suine'ontdoor hobby would be even. | SIDEGLANCES -_ - By George Clark ballots: cast in Monday's election, which is an increase of about 15,000 over the presidential election of Nov., 1932, and an increase of 30,000 over the gubernatorial and senatorial elec- tions of Sept., 1934. Republican or- ganizations got out their party follow- ers, something that may also make a vital difference in other states. Organ- ization work certainly counted in Maine in getting people to the- polls. Now, as for general impressions and significance, I am convinced that, while “as Maine goes s0 goes the na- tion” is a valuable piece of advertising for the state of Maine, the election of Monday does not necessarily mean that Presiderit Roosevelt will be de- feated this autumn. I say this because the tide of Re- publicanism must inevitably run high in Maine and, while the Republicans have every reason to be encouraged, all they can really feel certain about is that the 1936 election is a good horse race and may be decided by 25 or 30 electoral votes either way. Maine's vote, on the other hand, certainly does not indicate a landslide for Mr. Roose- velt, for the simple reason that Re- publicans are being Republicans again ‘and are forgetting the causes that drove them away from Mr. Hoover in 1932, These Republicans, incidentally, are fighting mad. Mr. Roosevelt is responsible for this. He, and not Mr. Landon’s affirmative strength, is drawing the Republicans together in a. common cause against the man that so many of them have persuaded themselves to. believe wants to do with America what Hitler and Musso- ni have done with European democ- racies, a The truth is the vote of Maine, tusofar as national issues played any part, was the beginning of a party protest on principle against the New Deal extravagance and centralization of power. The protest will roll up more and more votes in Maine when No- vember comes. * The entry of Mr. Landon into the state at the last moment was of doubtful value. Both before and after some of the Republican leaders saw the Monday election returns, they privately expressed doubt as to the wisdom of Mr. Landon’s invasion of the state. They didn’t think he made votes at Portland and they felt the Gevastating effects of Gov. Brann’s “David Lawrence skillful reply to the Kansas governor immediately after the Portland speech was over, While Senator White is an able legis- lator, nevertheless there were many Republicans in. Maine today who grieved over the downfall of Gov. Brann, Knowing that he was not a New Dealer at heart, they would have been satisfied with Mr. Brann in the senate, and there is no doubt he got @large number of Republican votes ‘by evading throughout: his campaign the controversy over the New Deal. Many a Republican wanted to vote for Mr. Brann but, because of the argu- ment that, outside the state, a Brann victory would: be misconstrued as a Landon defeat, they: voted « straight Republican tickets.
