Again President Roosevelt in his customary clear cut style has given the people of this country a report of his stewardship. Not given to flowery political | oratory, the President in simple, concise language | pointed to the actual accomplishments under his Jead- | ership. He frankly replied to those who have been talking about excessive Government expenditure with | the statement, “we have passed the peak of appro- priations.” Explaining why he could sincerely make such an/ authoritative statement, the Chief Executive pointed out that 3,125,000 persons were off the relief rolls | up to Wednesday and orders have been issued for the| ITALY TIGHTENS HER BELT. | Ttaly is tightening her belt in the fight against | economic sanctions and thereby arises in Europe the most critical situation since the present trouble with Ethiopia began. Already the pinch of sanctions is being felt in that country and the other afternoon Premier Mussolini, setting an example for his peo- ple, knocked off work at 4:30 in the afternoon and went home, the purpose being to conserve on heat and light Now the oil embargo is the focal point, and, whether official or unofficial, Italy has let it be known that she would. consider an international oil embargo basis for open warfare, directed first against the British fleet in the Mediterranean. It is an exceedingly precarious situation as a hungry people can be easily moved to great emotion, and that is what the Italian people will be in time if the war lord Mussolini does not adopt some other means of acquiring land in Ethiopia. Such is the penalty of dictatorship under a ruthless leader. The Italian people doubtless have no quarrel with Great Britain, nor Ethiopia for that matter, but being loyal to their home land they can easily be led into slaughter. The world hopes that Mussolini can be induced to adopt some other course than one which will take his people and the people of other countries into another Euvropean war. In the meantime, Americans can recall the antics of the Woodcutter of Doorn, and make a supreme effort to stay .out of this mess abroad. Germania Immaculata. (New York Herald Tribune.) | The Nazi decree which gives the German Jews the !polnlical status of ailens and the social status of lepers comes as no surprise. Hitler has been pledged in writing for twelve years to denationalize and disen- franchise Germany's 600,000 Jews and to make a “sub- ject” caste of them. Why he and his party did not come directly to this Gordian measure several years ago, instead of working up to it uirough a tedious process of lying propaganda and cruel persecution, |is the hardest part of their program to understand. It is almost as hard to understand as the pretense that the rules against Jewish-“Aryan” marriages will in some way promote “racial puri The absurdity of this pretense must disgust any one who even | vaguely studies European ethnology or who takes even a faint interest in workable eugenics. remainder 91 the 3,500,000 employables to go to work. | At the same time, he explained, “revenues, without | increasing taxes, are increasing.” | In other words, the employment goal has been | reached; economic recovery is general, and, as indus- | try moves ahead, people are going to work in private industry, thus relieving the Government of much of | the terrific relief burden. Despite the great govern- mental overhead to accomplish the purpose, revenues, | thanks to the Roosevelt taxation program, are con- tinuing to increase, pointing definitely to the time when the deficit can be decreased and the credit side| of the Government's books again balanced up in keeping with normal conditions | Touehing briefly on the agricultural policies, the | President answered those critics of crop limitation | with this query: | 1 wonder what cotton would be selling at today if during the past three years we con- tinued #o produce. fifteen, sixtegn or seven- ] teen million bales each year, adding to our own surplus and driving the farmers of the South into bankruptcy and starvation? The critics wonder the same thing, but they don't| mention it because it would not be politically ad-| vantageous to their cause. They know the same thing holds for wheat, hogs and other things which the| Roosevelt policies put under controlled production in| an effort to stiffen prices and bring back normal conditions. has broaght results by putting some money in the pocket of the producer instead of driving more of them into bankruptcy if the do-nothing program of the Hoover Administration had been allowed to continue. Those politically opposed to Roosevelt know it, but they hate to admit it, even though the farmers them- selves from time to time honestly ‘state that the Agricultural Act was the only thing that made it pos- sible for them to continue on. Pointing with & natural degree of pride to what has been accomplished by his Administration, the Chief Executive went a little further and gave assur- ance that his program would be continued when he stated: The American life has improved during these last two years and, if I have anything to do with it, it is going to improve more in days to come. I sense the swelling of the prosperity spirit that spells greater help, deep- er happiness for our fellowmen. Every indi- vidual, every family is being brought closer to the supreme achievement through the Social Security legislation. There is no collection of meaningless words in that message to the people. It is rather a straight- forward account of results, for themselves. The Roosevelt program has put this country back on its feet. Tuning Up Clipper f N = ' The fact is that controlled production | and the results speak | One need only skim the history of the Jews in Europe to know that Germany's Jews are no more alien to the original Teutonic stock than 80 per cent of the alleged “Aryans” within the Fatherland’s pres- ent frontiers. Then, one need only read Adolf Hitler's own “Mein Kampf” to learn that the Germans, as a political unit, are not a race nor are anywhere near being a homogeneous people. The older elements in Germany's Jewry, some tracing their origin to Roman Rhenish colonies, »thers to the invasion of medieval Germany by the Italian bankers or the Spanish Moranos, were pre- sumably of Semitic stock. This means that they were | of that “Mediterranean” type whereof a large pre- historic population in Britain (whom Agricola identi- fied as Silures) has been absorbed into the Anglo- Saxon breed in western England and Scotland (and therefore into the U. S. A.) without noticeable loss of ‘ vitality. Among the descendants of these “Mediteranean” Jews in Germany it is now easily possible to find innumerable individuals who are more nearly Nordic |in type than Reichsfuehrer Hitler or General Goer- | ing, and whom no ethnologist who was worried about Nordic supremacy would interbreed with the Huitlers or Goerings for fear of “race pollution.” Among the later recruits from the Slavic East to German Jewry, there are, of course, many of the so- called “armenoid” type. Their appearance spells | a mixture—Tartar, Slav and Nordic. It happens to | be the same mixture, however, that has gone into the make-up of the German population since the Goths | and Vandals migrated from their homelands. “Un- HAPPY ing: NOVEMBER 30 Ralph Mortenson Delegate A.

The flight started November 22. and progress are indicated for the United States. On this date adverse aspects fore- bode ill for those who direct human destiny. Uranus is in a place sup- posed to be unfortunate for Hitler and Mussolini. There is a strong influence affect- ing the mental balance of both the great and the humble, for there will be a tendency toward selfish view- points and many will suffer from de- lusions of greatness. Women may be especially sceptible to these sinis- ter trends. Labor continues under a planetary for there will be continued es and industrial troubles. The fic Coast will again be a spe- cial battleground. The stars continue to presage growth of communistic and revolu- tionary agitation that may result i serious demonstrations later in the month. There will be earnest appeals to patriotic sentiment. The c8smic forces foreshadow im- portant new international alliances that reveal the United States as a world power of tremendous signifi- cance. A task of world importance will be delegated to this country, it is predicted. Women's clubs will extend the scope of their activities to include civic and national work along politi- cal as well as humanitarian lines. Early alliances with political par- ties of various ideals will' attract girls who are to be prominent in the next national campaign. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of average good fortune. Writers should safeguard their manuscripts, for losses and de- lays are expected. Children born on this day prob- ably will be keen of mind, talented and resourceful. Subjects of this sign usually are very definite in their loyalties. — BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- ~ tions and best wishes today, their| birthday anniversary, to the follow- guidance that is exceedingly peril-| et st i e {26 YEARS AGO Prom The Empire NOVEMBER 30, 1915 That Edward Krause was a Ger- man spy, and that the killings of | capt. Plunkett, William Christie and | Ole Moe were part of the manipula- {tions of a dread underground mili- | tary machine, was offered as a ten- ‘Lauve explanation for the existence of accomplices in the Krause killings The fact that Krause communicated with certain unknown persons iu code; that in each murder the dispos- |{al of the body or the actual facts surrounding the demise remain a | mystery; that at least two of the men—Christie and Plunkett—were admittedly pro-Ally, added together !gave a tenable cause for suspecting |this to be true. Also, it was discov- |ered that Krause had been educatec |in Germany, and had continued hi close German connections after com- ing to this country; that he corre- |sponded regularly with Germany; | that he had been known to expres: pro-German sympathies. Police add- ed to this the fact that he had |shown a lack of patriotism to his adopted land by forging his discharge | from the army. In a country which although it did not yet visualize it~ self involved in war, grew more pat- riotic and militaristic with every turn |of the calendar, these facts fannec | public resentment against the killex |even more and made police doubt- |ful of the advisability of landing him at the public dock; this despite the assurance of prominent Juneav | business men that they would regard | Krause as an ordinary prisoner and | allow no demonstration to be made. | _Three things seemed clear to the police who waited the return of the | prisoner from Seattle: 1.-—Krause was no ordinary murderer; 2—eithel an almost unbelievable luck or a |number of trained accomplices hac aided him in removing all evidence of the crimes, even the bodies of the murdered; 3—only a tightly-wover web of circumstantial evidence coulc be counted upon to convict him. | It was to weave this web that thc |launch Lillian, mastered by Lylc | Davis, dredged the channel for the |bodies; that the government boai | Peterson explored inlets and coves of southeastern Alaska in search of the missing Plunkett boat; and that po- lice, in Juneau, steadfastly question- led all known intimates of either [Krause, Christie or Plunkett in the hope of finding some clue that would {lead to an unravelling of the mys- | bery. | Weather: Maximum, 32; minimum, 26; rain.
