Unfortunately the | committee in New York is not equipped to examine enough witnesses to make a decisive judgment, 'and probal as prejudiced against the Nazis as (the Leipsig Court was against the Communists. A good many events in history are never ade- quately explained. The Reichstag fire may be one _lof these. No explanation to date quite carries jcunvmmn for an open-minded inquirer. Because the ! witnesses have scattered, and because some Who might have had important roles in the affair are dead, it is wholly possible the truth never will become generally known. The Reichstag fire was one of Hitler's stepping-stones to absolute power. But whether it was a device of Nazi ingenuity or the act of fanatical Communists quickly utilized by the Nazis, we may never know with certainty. BUILDING UP OUR AIR FORC The President’s adoption of the recommendations of the report of the Baker Committee on Aviation, while not unexpected, is none the less pleasing.

It is developing more rapidly than any other major weapon. The United States is not as well-equipped in the air as the other major powers. In approving the Baker report and making it possible to carry out its recommenda- tions, the President has acted to remedy this inequality and put the nation on a par with any other. successor to Speaker Rainey. This could be achieved, and logically, by the promotion of Rep- resentative Joseph W. Byrns, of Tennessee, who in the last Congress served as majority leader—and made a good job of it. At the moment, however, it looks as though the rivalries and the bitterness born of the Rainey victory of 1933 were coming to the surface to cause trouble. The election of its own officers without interference is one of the most jealously guarded prerogatives of the House, and it is doubtful that the President would dare to use DIVERSION FOR THE SENATE. his influence or power in the clection. i Representative Byrns is an able and shrewd| The United States Senate has much in store for Legislator, not without political sense, and he has it during the six years beginning next January if supported the Administration through thick and Theodore G.

ECHOES OF ARSON. ® is more than a year and a half since the German Reichstag burned, offering to Adolf Hitler his chance to seize complete power and bring an end to parliamentary government. That fire, which has played so important a part in recent history, still remains a great question mark.
