Near Dangerous Showdown ' War is almost assured in Europe unless either the Fascists or the Communists back down. France and England, apparently content among the na- tions and the only two with democratic forms of government, alone have failed to engage seriously in the international poker game which is nearing a dangerous showdown. On one hand we have Hitler and Mussolini, each a firebrand and each the acknowledged dictator of his own country, On the other we have Soviet Russia, a giant among the nations, ruled by a man as ruthless as either of his opponents, As things stand now there is a chip on every shoulder. Guns would be roaring this minute if each of the three dictators were not a little bit afraid. Of the three, Stalin seems most likely to stand pat. From a military standpoint he may have the best hand. There is an old saying, generally credited to Frederick the Great of Prussia, that one German can whip four Russians, but whether this is true today is a question. Warlike ability, moves in cycles and it is not to be forgotten that Genghis Khan came cut of Asia to dominate eastern Europe. Ever since the beginning of the first five-year plan by the Soviet they have concentrated upon development of facilities for the manufacture of war materials. Russia’s population has starved and gone without consumer goods that she might be prepared in a military way. With Germany on one side and Japan on the other she has striven desperately to prepare her- self for trouble. Within her own borders she has vast supplies of the metals and other materials which are needed to equip an \ army and keep it in the field. Of the nations which might be expected to oppose her, Ger- many alone has well-developed resources of this nature. Tf Russia’s soldiers are as capable as those of other nations and if France stands behind her, she should be able to stand j off Germany, Italy and Japan at the same time. If France got actively into the war Germany and Italy would have plenty of trouble on that front. The real nub of the military situation is France. She doesn*t want war, will fight only if war is thrust upon her. The friendly gestures of Germany and Italy toward France at this juncture probably are made for their effect on the French people rather than with any real hope of success. For French states- men are notoriously hard-boiled. They are not likely to be de- ceived. But, with the situation what it is, there seems every like- lihood that Stalin’s strong stand now is designed, among other things, to test France out, to see if she will stick when the going gets tough. Italy and Germany, on the other hand, will have little choice if Russia steps openly into the Spanish picture. They may follow suit and make Spain a battleground for soldiers of Italy, Germany and Russia even though the nations are osten- sibly at peace with each other. They may declare war on each other and resort to formal hostilities, or Hitler and Mussolini may decide that this isn’t their day and retire from the field. The first course is the most likely. Mussolini captured Ethiopia without resorting to war—formally. Japan has taken huge slices of China in the same way. It is the modern method. The last named course is the least likely. Neither Hitler nor Mussolini could afford to “lose face” with their own people. There is nothing certain about it, of course. Europe has been skating along the brink for the last few years. The odds still favor maintenance of the peace but they are growing shorter every day. And the alternative is WAR. * 2. & Any consideration of the European situation leads to the conclusion that the United States may very easily be the key nation if real trouble comes. We are the storehouse of the world, particularly of the world’s money and manufacturing capacity. War would bring tremendous demand for American iron, steel and chemicals. Germany and Russia have these things, but Italy and Japan haven't, But this nation has a rather strict neutrality law. If en- iforeed it would be hard to get around. In addition, this nation has a law forbidding the loaning of money to those nations which are in default on their debt tous. The result is that Germany and Italy would find them- selves estopped from buying war materials in this countay. Japan also might be similarly handicapped. This would give Russia a distinct advantage, America should remember this as trouble marches across the map of Europe. I¢ we pursue a sensible and unselfish “course we may easily find it possible to maintain peace across the water without involving ourselves in any foreign entangle- ments and without sending a single American boy off to battle. At Je ecotomerss’ Revenge ti wes ‘ ate s! made which, if true, rectal pos sad breaches ‘of Roelegzers who have testified charge Mat certats police: wi ve ge ce ayy oat goillely tye Behind he Scenes The Campaign By BODNEY DUTCHER Washington Correspondent Detroit, Oct, 24.—Michigan, where the Black Legion has flourished and where most of the automobiles are Produced, seemed slightly better than an even Republican bet before Lan- don and Roosevelt came campaign- ing into the state. Memory of tremendous crowds which greeted Roosevelt in Detroit and other cities has colored all sub- sequent guesswork. A reorientation of political judgment has led tu many private predictions of a Roosevelt victory and has persuaded nearly ev- eryone that Michigan is just another of those large and very doubtful states which Landon must carry to be elected. Despite a record of political in- dependence and a singular freedom from boss rule, Michigan has gone for a Democratic presidential candi- date but twice since Lincoln's time. Roosevelt took her 19 electoral votes by @ plurality of 132,000 in 1932, but there has been a backswing—espec- {ally in rural areas and small towns— and in the Democratic landslide year of 1934 Republicans elected Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald by 84,000. If Landon loses the state by a small margin, he can blame a state organ- ization which sacrificed him to its candidate for governor, a bandwagon Psychology arising from the unprece- Gented ovations given Roosevelt, or Landon’s own course on his Michigan visit. Republican billboards are plastered over the state, but they say so much more about Fitzgerald than Landon that Chairman John Hamilton is said to have protested. ** * Ford Doesn't Help Cause Roughly speaking, Landon seemed to come to Detroit as the candidate of the automobile manufacturers and Roosevelt came as the candidate of the automobile workers. There just happen to be a lot more workers than manufacturers, The president, according to political experts on pro-Landon newspapers in Detroit, scored heavily by patting the former on the back and mildly pan- ning the latter. Top men. in the automobile indus- try greeted the governor. But the worst thing that happened to him, one 4s informed, was his endorsement by Henry Ford, Ford's labor in Detroit. Ford backed Hoover in 1932 and in politics his endorsement is believed by many to be more of a handicap than a help. Landon left the lesser automobile men and Michigan politicos who were clamoring to see him, had lunch with Henry and Edsel Ford, and returned at 5 p. m. to go to bed—according to the story that one gets in Detroit, along with the report that the po- liticos didn’t take it well. ** ® policies are unpopular F. R. Draws Huge Crowds The Republican candidate was met by a few hundred persons at the train and, with a bad weather break, pulled only from 8,000 to 14,000 people—es- timates vary—for a big speech in a ball park which can hold 44,000. He did much better upstate, but even at Lansing the pro-Landon newspapers say the Roosevelt crowd of 35,000 was twice as large as the Kansan’s, Police estimates of Roosevelt crowds seem almost fantastic—450,000 to 500,- 000 in Detroit, 150,000 in Flint, as many in Grand Rapids, and 25,000 to 30,000 at minor stops. All this may not be decisively im- portant, but it explains why some of the most seasoned political observers are betting on “Roosevelt by 50,000.” On the other hand, this is one state where Roosevelt is definitely men- aced by the Coughlin-Lemke vote. If Lemke polls anywhere between 5 and 10 per cent of the total vote, the state is more than likely to go for Landon. Democrats, agreeing heartily with most neutral observers that Father Coughlin’s political influence is on the wane, admit he pulls a much larger vote from them than from the opposition. +e % Religious Issue Enters Michigan has never elected a Cath- lic governor and it looks as if the “religious issue” would be a large fac- tor in defeating handsome, red-haired Frank Murphy, ertswhile high com- missioner to the PhiHppines. Murphy's firends say the Black Legion is much stronger in Michigan than anyone supposes and that it has the knife out for him and Roosevelt. Murphy is a glamorous cam- paigner, one of the few men who can visibly make votes by campaigning, and he is working fast and vigorously on @ liberal New Deal platform. But the idea that Roosevelt would have to ride on his coat-tails is evaporating. Offsetting Murphy’s oratory is that of Senator Arthur Vandenberg, who is cramming in as many Republican speeches as he can. Senator James Couzens, who knowingly tossed his renomination as a Republican away by endorsing Roosevelt, has been too Ml to campaign. ‘The rural and small town vote us- ually just about balances the big ur- ban vote, making Michigan a tough state to predict. Most polls aside from that of the Literary Digest have slightly favored Roosevelt, but may not have been sufficiently weighted Looking at the Campaign (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Prefatory note: Today's dis- patch describes the situation in Pennsylvania, the 34th state to be visited by David Lawrence in his personal survey of presidential campaign trends in 40 states out- side the solid south. Philadelphia, Oct. 24.—An intensive study of the situation, not only in Allegheny county, but the central counties and in this section of the state, convinces me that the state of Pennsylvania will furnish the biggest surprise of this campaign. Instead of showing a total increase in the Roosevelt strength, it will show & decrease, ang the state will go Re- publican by a thinimum of 250,000 and it may go as high as 400,000, For many weeks the New Dealers have succeeded in spreading alarm among the Republicans to such an extent that many leading Republicans outside the state privately began to believe that Pennsylvania was a de- batable area and a doubtful one. I had heard these reports before I came to Pennsylvania and I was Pretty well convinced in my own mind that, if the Keystone state were really close, there wasn’t a remote chance for Mr. Landon to win the national election. If he couldn't stand up in Pennsylvania, which came through the 1932 hurricane in the Republican column, then it seemed to me there must be @ tide running in huge volume for Mr. Roosevelt. Yet, in all the other states I have visited, the New Deal tide has been plainly receding and 1932 majorities were definitely being diminished. Why ce should Pennsylvania be differ- en' The first news that greeted me on arrival at. Pittsburgh was that Alle- gheny county showed a very decided trend toward Roosevelt. This was a “normally” Republican county. But, on looking up 1932 records, I found that Mr. Roosevelt carried Allegheny county by 37,000 votes. What was the estimate usually heard for 1936 among Republicans and Democrats? An ay- will undoubtedly be found also 'in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. x * * Count on ‘Hidden Vote’ Registration for the primaries in Detroit is open, Voters are impressed with the belief that their bosses know which party preference they indicate. So the Democrats allege a huge hid- den vote for Roosevelt and Murphy and Republicans charge Negro WPA workers registered Democrat for fear of losing their jobs, but will “vote right” in November. Michigan’s primary vote Sept. 15 did more than anything else to con- vince Governor Landon that he had a chance to win. In the gubernatorial primary Republicans polled 508,000 votes and Democrats 377,000. Ex.- Gov. Wilber M. Brucker, anti-New Dealer, beat liberal, independent. Couzens in the G. O. P, senatorial primary by 315,000 to 199,000—and it was believed many Democrats voted for Couzens, * * * Claim G. O. P. Vote Drop As against this, Democrats point out that although Republicans got 58 per cent of the primary vote this year, they got 68 per cent in 1932, only to see the Democrats sweep the state in November. They contend the G. C. P. primary vote this year was 200,000 Jess than in 1932 and the Democratic vote 170,000 up. Furthermore, less than 50 per cent of the registered voters went to the primary poll, leaving possibly a mil- lion others to be heard from in No- vember and meanwhile unpredictable. WPA has been free from scandal in Michigan and its projects haven't aroused much criticism. Republicans are plugging “waste” and “Commun- ism” out in the state and the Social Security Act’s 1 per cent payroll tax in the cities, Democrats, aside from ballyhooing the New Deal, are stressing the slo- gan: “A vote for Landon is a vote for Hoover!” (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

I took the high figure of 75,000, and prepared to look elsewhere in the state. I was told the soft coal counties in the southwestern part of the state were very strongly for Roosevelt be- cause of the John Lewis influence. I got in touch with well informed per- sons in those counties, persons who knew the local trend. I asked if Mr. Roosevelt could count on an increased majority there. The answer given me uniformly was that Mr. Roosevelt would get less of a margin than in 1932. I asked for some tangible evidence of this reasoning. One reply was that the registration figures showed the margin to be about the same or less than four years ago, but no excess. Figures were adduced, showing that, in the 1934 and 1935 statewide elec- tions, the New Deal party strength was materially diminished, as com- pared with 1932, The tide, in other words, is running back to Republicanism in Pennsyl- vania, and this is overwhelmingly so in the central counties, There is no real gain for Roosevelt except in Pitts- burgh, Philadelphia and the soft coal counties, Even in the anthracite coal counties, there are signs that Mr. Roosevelt has made no sensattional gain over his 1932 vote. Let's put it another way. Does anybody believe that the laboring man was for Hoover in 1932? Unquestion- ably, Hoover was unpopular with the very strong groups who are said to- aay to be so strongly for Mr. Roose- velt, Where, then, does the accretion come? It must come among the labor groups and among the Negroes, Al- lowing for an increase of perhaps 37,000 votes in Allegheny county and @ possible decrease in the Republican majority in Philadelphia, we find that the four counties just outside of Philadelphia are going to give Landon bigger majorities than they gave Hoover. This should more than offset the gains of Mr. Roosevelt in Alle- gheny county and in Philadelphia. Then the rest of the state will pile up the real majority. That’s where Landon gains are so extensive that a 250,000 majority is a minimum, and I would not be surprised to see the figures go far beyond that. The actual excess of Republican registration over New Deal registration is about 600,000 this year, according to official fig- ures, I made inquiry as to why the rural districts and towns were so strongly anti-Roosevelt. The impression ob- tained is that people are beginning to “David Lawrence elements in the, Republican party in Pennsylvania are united. Gifford Pin- chot, whose popularity in the rural counties cannot be underestimated, 4s supporting Governor Landon. Putting it all together, J am amazed to find that the reports of a close ace in Pennsylvania and with Roose- velt in the lead have so little founda- tion. It all depends, of course, on what one means by the word “close.” Even 250,000 Republican majority for Governor Landon, in a state which is in the habit of giving majorities three or four times that amount to the Republican electors, means a close fight. But whatever may be the con- Jectures as to actual majority, I have come to the conclusion that Pennsyl~ vania does not belong in the “doubt- ful” column, but in the “sure Landon” column, | Additional Churches | > 4 CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE - +H, V.

Mr. Hoover's Speech on this point made a deep im- pression, 2. That the relief scandals on WPA must be worse than is being charged or the New Dealers would permit an investigation.

That the expenditures of gov- ernment are far beyond what they ought to be, now that recovery is sup- Posed to be here. 5. That politicians are in command of the national and state government and that these politicians are not in- terested in good government but in exploiting themselves.
