With economists at odds over their own “solu- tions” for existing conditions, and each fortified with elaborate sets .of tabulations to justify his offering, the “gag” that has been going the rounds in financial circles recently is more or less apropos. It is to this effect: An economist is one who starts in by knowing a great deal about very little and gets to know more and more about less and less until he finally knows practically everything about nothing at all; a statistician begins by knowing very little about he gets to know a great deal and as he goes along less and less about more and more he knows practically nothing about everything, Maybe these descriptions are merely pure non- sense, but what with all the views and contentions between different sets of economists and statisticians flying around, the “forgotten man” is beginning to wonder if there isn't something to them after all. Apparently the multitude of “cures” offered for the depression are just about as effective as the nostrums sold as remedies for colds and hay fever. In both instances the ailments scem to keep right on until they have run their course. A Doubtful Triumph. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) At long last, Adolf Hitler has become Chancellor The grim predictions based on that ever, would appear unwarranted. A dema- gogue of the worst order, Hitler nevertheless rep- resents the hopes of many millions of Germans It is not illogical that he should share power, as he Aspiring Democrats, ambitious to succeed outgoing Republicans in public office, or in the vernaclar, share in distribution of patronage from the | “pie counter,” will do well to give due weight to, the words of National Chairman James J. Farley, who has just opened headquarters in the National capital to begin patronage consideration. By way oI‘ sparing himself wasted time and effort and possible | ssment to applicants for jobs, Mr. Fnrley‘i has given notice that the first essential of all aspirants for Federal appintments is the seal of | approval of the various local organizations. That! is to say, if John Doe seeks to be appointed to a Federal judgeship in Ohio, he will find no welcome sign on the National Chairman's doormat unless he presents with his application the endorsement of | the Ohio Democratic organization. So, too, in the case of pirants for Alaskan positions. There may be some who will criticise this position of Mr. Farley, but they will not be “organization”| Democrats. Party men who are consistent and not mere weather vanes that indicate the direction of] political breezes are the first to understand and appreciate this requirement. National political par- | ties do not like Topsy “just grow.” They are com-! posed of the thousands of local organizations | throughout the country. They must continue to exist even though nationally the party is deprived of power. They must function at all times, other- wise the party, nationally, will die. To deprive them of the privilege of .selecting the local appointive | government officers is to destroy them. And they | thrive and increase in vigor and effectiveness upon | full recognition of their right to direct the allotment | of patronage. Chairman Farley, too, is a busy man. He hasn't the time, even were he so inclined, to hear the plea of every aspirant for office. And to consider the hundreds of thousands of applicants state their desires would keep even so efficient a worker as he | fully occupied for Roosevelt has been elected. By limiting his consid- eration to those who have the endorsement of the local organizations, he greatly minimizes his task, which will be Herculean under the most favorable circumstances. He himself much valuable time and almost endless grief, and at the same time he strengthens his party’s national organiza- tion by making its individual units more energetic and aggressive. Mere local endorsement, of course, is not all that is required. Candidates supported by local organiza- tions must be capable, well qualified in every respect for the positions for which they are endorsed. The Alaska Democratic organization, in selecting its candidates, has undoubtedly been guided by this, and its own slate is of a caliber that Chairman can have no hesitancy in accepting and the em saves REORGANIZATION OF BUREAUS. Governmental reorganization at Washington has long been too largely a matter of pious wishes and incentations, and too little a matter of drastic and decisive a Congress has proposed, the execu- ion. tive discussed, but in the end no changes were made unless it was to add to the already top-heavy Structure. At the tail end of his Administration President Hoover showed a lively interest and recent- ly submitted a vigorous and sharply worded message to Congress on the subject. But this, as was natural under the circumstances, was sidetracked so that the new Administration might begin anew the task of reorganization. No o course was to have been expected since it but a few weeks before Mr. Hoover will retire to the status of private citizen. It is plain that Congr reorganization. C: and slow. But it is equally action has little more chance of If, cannot undertake on is too unwieldly n that executive succeeding.

Perhaps a solution can be found in the plan embodied in a rider to the Post Office-Treasury bill, sponsored by Senator M. M. Logan of Ken- tucky. This would form a committes, composed of the President, Director of the Budget, Comptroller- y a legislative func- General, the Speaker of the House and the Senate is the leader of the largest political party in the Reich. As a matter of fact, Hitler's appointment must be interpreted as the wisest and simplest means of depriving him of dangerous power. Hitler carries with him into the Cabinet two Nazi colleagues, Wilhelm Frick and Hermann Goer- ing. But the remainder of the Cabinet represents the Conservative or the Centrist Party. Control of the army is vested in a military man who is in no sense a Nazi. Hitler has achieved his ambition to be Chancellor, but he has failed in his ambition to grasp exclusive power. He has less chance of establishing a National Socialist dictatorship, with all its cargo of strife and hatred and coercion, than he had without a political office. He now Iis estopped from destructive use of demagogy and terrorism. The hope of von Hindenburg is to set up a Cab- inet which will command a majority in the Reich- stag and govern by the constitution. This is a faint hope, certainly. Only with full support of Cen- trists, as well as Nationalists and National Socialists, can the new Cabinet expect a vote of confidence. There is no reason to suppose the Centrists and Bavarian Party will back the new regime. The new Cabinet is united in some respects. It is uniformly conservative, opposing the labor unions and extreme left groups. It is consistently in favor of a restoration of German military power and re- vision of Eastern frontiers. It is coherent in look- ing back to pre-republican days as a more desirable arrangement. But it is sworn to support a repub- lican constitution and von Hindenburg is there to see that it does so. A Presidential “We.” (New York World-Teelgram.) Already as a prospective First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, speechmaker extra- ordihary, has become a remarkable phenomenen in American feminism. Generally her speeches pursue the even tenor of their way, and when you think of them the words which she spoke seem to merge into her personality the entire term for which Mr. and into the image of her now made so familiar in the recurrently published photographs of her. Until her Chicago speech of Saturday the one outstand- ing utterance which first comes to mind was her advice that the average girl of today “faces the prob- lem of learning, very young, how much she can drink of such things as whiskey and gin, and stick- ing to the proper quantity.” There was undoubtedly great courage in that admonition, and yet it likely was but given natur- ally as a natural expression of a candid woman. In the same way—in a statement far more sen- sational—Mrs. Roosevelt was, no doubt, but express- ing her personality and mind in words when, at Chicago, she said: From my life in Washington I know how difficult is to keep in contact with public opinion in the country once a man gets there. That is where I believe I can help, since my husband’s mail is so tremendous he cannot possibly look at all of it. I think that my correspondence is the avenue through which W can keep in touch with the public and that is will give US a real picture of the life of the country; so I hope that people will write to me when I get to ‘Washington. Not in the history of the American democracy and of its Presidency has a mistress of the White House spoken to the public in this extensive way, and, so far as we know, not in the history of democ- racies anywhere has the wife of a President, in alluding to the performance of the Presidential duties, used the first person plural “we” or *“us.” In the case of Mis. Roosevelt she welcomes the public to write to her not in the capacity of a |representative of the President but as one mem- ber of a sort of co-partnership of interest. A connubial Presidency in a connubial nation, with the children gathered about the hearthstone— this is something new and interesting in a republic in which women could not even vote until a few years ago. One way in which President-Elect Roosevelt might ington Post.) As we understand Oriental diplomacy, to oppose SYNOPSI Farrell Armit- age silences Mrs. Lodely's mis- givings as to why he does so much for her son Mark, with a further premise to have a famcus doctor try to cure his crippled bedy. Mark makes his hostess ridiculcus in. come sketches drawn in a night elub, then scils them to her. This check he offers Farrell, but Farrell fends the insult by in- ing that the check form part of an allowance for “incident- als.” Farrell's decper plan is to win Mark's fiance, Barbara Quentin, for himself.
