A business ‘writer describes this process as “being toward the over- throw of state sovereignty and the under- | mining of local government,” with a gigan- tic centralization of governmental author- ity in Washington, and deplores it as ,un- American and destructive. He points out three manifestations of | this trend: First, extension of the federal | police power to pursuit of kidnapers and | other criminals; second, increasing regula-; tion of trade and commerce; third, federal | 3 encroachment on the taxation field of | states and local units. One may deplore these tendencies, | and yet perceive how naturally they have come about, and how much reason there is | for some of them. When criminals with | their own private transportation systems ; ignore state lines, the public is forced to do ; likewise to cope with them, and only the national government can do that. Like- wise as commerce grows national in scope, federal control is inevitable. The most} powerful cause of federalization recently ~has been the inability of states and local | governmental units to meet their budgets and provide relief.’ Washington had to} step in, to prevent widespread bankruptcy | i and starvation. { All these things require larger federal | revenue of course. Government, like business, ‘seems’ to } follow a resistless law of enlargement and centralization. The danger, with either, is the growth of a great, unwieldy bu-| reaucracy. But so far, it is not cléar what | _ ean be done to stop concentration. MISSISSIPPI DUST STORMS Unusual dust storms are troubling large areas of the Middle West. Recently fpilots found visibility low at the St. Louis airport and citizens ‘generally:-suffered from fine dust in-the air that settled over everything. Clouds of dust, quite dif- ferent from familiar fogs and light vapors, have hovered over the Mississippi River ‘several times even when the air over ad- jacent land was clear. All this has aroused the curiosity of residents in those regions and has brought out a weather bureau explanation. The dust storms are the result of several years of more than ordinary dryness, beginning with the severe drouth year of 1930. Now, winds are picking up powdered soil in one place and depositing it in others or carry- ing it about in the air, Meteorologists ex-} plain that the dust falls when it becomes moist while traveling over areas where} evaporation is taking place. That ac-! counts for the dust storms on the river. The same phenomenon has been observed over lakes and swamps. This particular movement real estate is not desirable from any stand-| point, but it is hard to do anything about | i quickly. Proper forestation and flood con- trol work would help to regulate moisture in the soil and prevent such erosion in the future. in | “NO MILITARY” | Baron Luthard Freiherr von Hoden-} berg of Germany, in the United States on} business, briefly answered reporters’ ques- | tions about his own country and about the | German attitude toward the United States, | and then broke in with the following: | “Let me-tell of the most Senne | thing I've seen in America. It is Washing- ton, your capital city. How beautiful! And | best of all, no military standing around as! in Europe. It was strange not té"See a cor- don of soldiers around the White House, as beautiful, only some are more beautiful | i in Berlin and Paris. Just a fine, quiet, im- | than others.

Paulk, who is a Georgian; his political sponsor is Judge Burwell, another Geor- gian. And the man who will be mainly re- sponsible for his appointment, if made, will be Representative Mark Wilcox, also a Georgian, | from the landscape. pressive mansion. photographs.” j The Baron should extend his trip to the United States-Canadian border and ob- serve the phenomenon of a long inter- national boundary without fortifications | and with “no military standing around.” There are fine things in the New| Werld which we take too much for granted, !
