Momentous decisions must be made and made "njickly. War was the answer. War to avenge the stain of Attuwa. A war of conquest that would arrest the attention of hM people and arouse to a frenzy of patriotic nationalism. On toi Ethiopia became the battle cry, and so the war was conceived and, as such has been waged. Within his own country there were powerful interests not altogether in sympathy with Signor Mussolini. Men of power, men who had made their mark in the service of the Italian people. Men whom the nation trusted, all perhaps but Musso lini himself. He recognized their ability and their popularity a/nd was doubtless fearful less they seized power and changed the entire structure which he had built. He knew they were not Fascicts at heart and yet, in this war of extermination which he has undertaken, it has been upon these men whom he has to lean heaviest. First, Field Marshall Pietro Badoglia. He is a World War hero, and for more than a generation the military idol of the Italian nation. He was appointed Commander-in Chief of the expeditionary forcees. It is currently spoken of in the army that his mission was not altogether because of military necessity but that the Duce desired to have him out of Italy should the forces of discontent RISE and required strong leadership. If so, Badoglio was the man of action. Get him out of Italy. Then, there is Balbo. The Balbo that led the flight to the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago. He is consistent and honest and holds in intaense hatred personally against Mussolini. He has smarted under a sense of persecution and apparent banishment. He is in Lybia. These two men, World War heroes, each in his own way possess the confidence of the people, Badoglio being the more popular with the Reigning House and the upper classes. Each is credited with a desire to bring about a change in the form of government, and to these veterans of many battles must the Duce entrust the success or failure of his campaign in Ethiopia. tThey know that the same situation is charged with dynamite. hey know too that is requires but some untoword incident to re the fuse of revolution, that Italy will require strong leader dp, they are prepared to fly to the homeland, to assume such adership. And thus we have the amazing spectacle of a ation’s leader being compelled to entrust his success to those lio bitterly oppose his policies and who would welcome an opportunity to challenge his leadership. We shall sec what we shall see. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Mellon. Hugh Howell has finally issued his call for a meeting ■C the State Democratic Executive Committee to be held at the Hrnsley Hotel, in Atlanta on April 15th. The purpose of the ■Keting is to transact all business that may properly and BHrally come before it. To especially decide, whether or not Hnere should be held a presidential preferential primary in Geor ■b this year, and, if so, fix rules, entrance fees and all matters Mlrtaining thereto. y And now, good folks of Georgia, be prepared, for this is hut BPlte announcement of the opening of what will be the greatest, the hardest fought, and the bitterest olitical campaign ever held in the state. The show will be one long to be remembered. The grounds will be the all the square miles of land composing the metes and bounds of what we are pleased to call the greatest MCite in the nation. No telling where the patriotic sons who to serve may meet to match their strategy. Hl'he canvass, well the sky is the limit and the blue dome of Haven will cover the sinned against and sinner alike.

Remember the old slogan, “this is the ®Plie for every man (and woman) to come to the aid of his Mrty. ’’ Its going to be you are either “for me or agin me.” Hll hands must help to elect the deefender of the liberties of the Sear people whoever he may be. So, pay your poll tax, register, be prepared to join the show. SHERMAN WAS RIGHT Brwc are indebted to The Georgia Legionnaire for The following j My Harvey Kennedy, Editor Barnesville News-Gazette: K VETERANS OF FUTURE WARS I A group of Princeton University students endowed with a Mieer sense of humor recently organized themselves into an Mjganization called “Veterans of Future Wars” and demanded payment of a bonus to be earned by them in future Jafars. They also sponsored an organization of Vassar College Students, to be known as “Gold Star Mothers of Veterans of Future Wars,” the purpose of which is to secure trips overseas bo that they might select graves for their sons, yet unborn. At first glance, this movement appealed to the funny side of all os us. However, there is a lot of pathos in their thrusts, directed at World War veterans and there may be a good deal of irony to the movement after all. The sorrowing mothers, who are the real gold star mothers, already hurt to the quick over the loss of their own sons for wham they ment into the vale of almost death in order to give life, doubtless will be able to forgive the insult intended tor them. When one has suffered much, one ceases to mind insults and worldly scars. Doubtless these real mothers, after read ing of the movement, offered a prayer for these young maidens What they might be saved the dspair and grief of ever having to K-ive a beloved son in the defense of their country. These young Indies may experience a worse fate than that. If this should oc- Kir, these mothers-to-be, mother-like, will expect a wealthy na t>on to do the honorable thing by their loved ones. (Mn order to give these jesting young people a true insight the cost of war from humanity’s standpoint and how little Mhnney can compensate or alleviate war-wreckage, in all kind ffless let us suggest that they have their first convntion in a Movernment hospital. There they will see men with faces hor- Kibly disfigured, men without eyes, men whose limbs have been SBhot away, whose nerves have been wrecked and whose minds ‘t4ave been’totally destroyed. Thea let those in authority tell I —WASHINGTON AT A GLANCE— NEW DEAL INVESTIGATES ITSELF WITH THREE HANDPICKED COMMITTEES AND OUTCOME FORECAST By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 9 —President Roosevelt and his lieutenants appear to have diluted investigation of the New Deal’s emergency set-ups to such an extent that it is hard to see how it can be much of a real “probe.” 1 . The prospective inquiry was sena ■ torially launched in a fashion to promise that it would be the genuine article. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, the administration’s leader in the up per house of congress, succeeded, however, by parliamentary sleight-of hand, in getting a sufficient major ity into the membership of the in quisitorial committee to insure that it will be strongly pro New Deal. Then the president appointed his own committee, consisting of Louis Brownlow, Professor Charles E. Mer riam of the University of Chicago and Professor Luther Gulick of Col umbia university, to investigate, too. He also asked for the creation of a similar committee of representa tives. Finally he urged that the three committees co-operate. INVESTIGATING SELVES All this may sound like a great plenty of investigating, but it is note worthy that the investigators are t mostly New Dealers investigating the New Deal. Perhaps, indeed, it isn’t quite ac curate to describe Senator Harry F. Byrd, head of the initial investiga torial body, as a New Dealer. He has been legislatively hostile to many New Deal policies but he is a regu lar administration Democrat— finds lots of fault with his leadership but supports it in time of need, for all a me °f need, de cidedly. A representatives’ committee must be named, of course, by Speaker Joseph W. Byrns. Byrns i« not an . enthusiastic New Dealer, either, but he is as regular and dependable as Senator Byrd not even an open fault-finder, like the senator. That any New Deal investigating ; All Os Us B y marshal maslin taking a walk IULIAM HAZL'TT, dead a long time ago, used to write of the pleas ures of taking a walk ... He meant taking a walk in tha country, go ing somewhere with a stick in your hand, seeing the pretty flowers, hearing the careless birds, breath ing God's clean air . . . Another fellow, a Frenchman, wrote an en tire book about taking a trip a round your bedroom. Very inter esting. but not exciting . . . Much more fun, if you feel in the mood, to walk around the streets of a city, seeing all the people, wonder, ing what they do, how they are, how they got that way, what they’re going tc be . . . Try it some time. See that pretty girl Nice eyes Sweet smile. Hat’s just right. Obeying the old law that pretty girls should have pretty clothes . . . see that other girl not a bit pretty, but she’s got style, and an air! Guess she knows it, too . . . Pass by a restaurant, look in. Right by the window is an enormously fat old man, eating a big meal, en joying every morsel . . . Another man coming out the door, toothpick in mouth. Stout lad . . . Heard some where that smart beggars never them that the peak of insanity caused by the war has not vet been reached They should also have on their program eminent phys.e.ans who wdl tell them that the affects of the gasThaled by me„ who served in France, in a majority of eases "a just S?arMothT , " !f £ V ‘ ”i , Thcn ,! < ‘ t ,heir cripples and Gold I f -Ju e - S whose only hope lies m life eternal when thev will be with their dead once more, be paraded before them. After this is done if these young people can find it in their hearts to ridicule and hold up to public scorn this unfortunate part of humanity, surely we have reached a heartless age j LOL As a rule Princeton and Vassar students come’from wealthy families ealth and wealth alone profited from the WoHd War and since then wealth has waged a studied campaign against veterans’ rights in order to avoid payment of taxes Keared in this atmosphere these students have unconsciously adopted the attitude of their fathers. Editor Harvey may have mentioned the thousands of sturdy 1 lellows who, having come through the inferno of fire, and of mud and slime, without impairment of mind or body ’ only to find, as they vainly tried to catch step with the newer ‘and changed world, they had been passed by, their dav was gone j forever and, for many of them, pounding the pavements of city streets, ekeing out a bare existence where they could, pleading for the charity of a meat, a bed, or perhaps entirely discouraged, the price of a drink that sorrows may be momentarily forgottem There is not a city in the Union where such examples may not be seen. General Sherman was right, “war is hell.’’ BASEBALL IN SAVANNAH Now that Savannah is in a baseball league, may we express the wish that success will crown the efforts of the gentlemen who so public spiritedly sponsored the organizatino that makes it possible for Savannahians to enjoy this great American "’me? With our sister cities of Macon, Augusta. Columbus, .lacks ille i and Columbia, we musa contend for supremacy. The enthusias tic fan desires good baseball, and then, may the best team win. We believe that there arc a sufficient number of baseball fans in Savannah to make the venture succeed. ’They anxiously await the hour when the umpire calls, play ball! The Savannah base ball team is in experienced hands. They know that the game must be played clean to make patronage possible. They are giving their best efforts to have a team, that, while it may not be first, it must not be last. Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to know that the game has been permanently established in our city. That many long summer after-noons may be spent pleasantly and menial relaxation be obtained in the frenzy of enthusiastic shout inging that the home team may win. We arc for baseball be cause it calls into activity the mental as well as the physical being. We are for baseball because, like the circus, the boys and girls like to go and we like to be with the boys and girls. Give the people a good team, not necessarily the best in the league, but, see to it we do not have the worst team in tli? league. A. bad team has done more to kill baseball in Savannah in the past than any other factor. If the first-baseman is not good, turn him off and get another. The same with every other mem i ber of the team. Give Savannah a good team and Savannahians will give you hearty support. SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1936 committee he chooses will be pro- New Deal is a safe bet. * * * CAPABLE MEMBERSHIP The Brownlow committee is pro- New Deal 100 per cent. Its membership is very capable. Louis Brownlow, its chairman, has been, since long before the World war, what now would be termed a New Dealer. Once he was a Wash ington newspaperman. He was a com missioner of the District of Columbia under President Wilson. More recent ly he has been a professional city manager, and a good one. But he has been a New Dealer (if there had been any such thing then) back into this century’s ’eens. I’ve known him that many years. Similarly Professor Merriam was a brain truster three or four decades before anyone was so described. Pro fessor Gulick is in the same class but not entitled to such seniority as Pro fessor Merriam’s. « * * WHO WILL WIN OUT? The purpose of Chairman Byrd’s committee is different from Chairman Brownlow’s. The Byrd outfit's ostensible mission is to find evidence of waste, politics and even graft in emergency expend itures. Considering what enormous sums have been spent so fast, it is difficult to imagine that cases can not be found where money has been spent recklessly, not to say question ably. The Brownlow committee’s avowed job is to determine how effectively the New Deal’s emergency set-ups can be made permanent.

There’s still a pile of answers (second edi tion) ready to go out to all who a stamped, self-addressed en velope. A piece of rope weighs four ounces per foot. It is passed over a pulley and one one end is sus pended a weight and on the othe:’ end a monkey. The whole system is in equilibrium. The weight of the monkey in nounds is equal to his mother’s age n years. age of the monkey’s mother added to the age of the monkey is four years. (1) The mon key’s mother is twice as old as the monkey was when (2) the monkev’s mother was half as old as the monkey will be when (3) the mon. key is three time.', as old as the monkey's mother was when (4) the monkey’s mother was three times as old as the monkey. Th? weight of the rope or the ' weight at the end is helf as imi°h n gnln as the difference between the weight and the weight plus the weight of the monkey. How long is the rope?

A new fad spreads faster than gossip about the new wid- —WORLD AT A GLANCE LANDON SEEN VICTOR By Wiseacres Viewing Republican Situation ON SECOND BALLOT , . By LESLIE EICHEL Centr.l Frees Staff Writer WL-eacres viewing the Republican nomination situation from a mid-con cinent print of view are saying. “Lan don will win on the sec:nd ballot at -he Cleveland convention.’’ Certain it is he will come to the convention with close to the neces sary 501 votes Former President Hoover’c erst w’r ile lieutenants are reputed to have decided to support Landon. That means the southern bloc will be for him. But Mr. Hoover, himself remains cpposed to Governor Landon . Secret ly he undoubtedly favrrs himself, with I 0:1. Frank Knox second. SHAKEUP Energetica’ly-minded Republicans are are worried over the lackadaisical administration of the national Re publican committee under Chairman Henry P. Fletcher and the Old Guerd. The c mmittee as now ar ar.ged is a good one for obtaining “war funds”—but its administrative ability is under atteck. It is presumed, if Landon wins the G. O. P. nomination, that energetic John D M. Hamilton, his campaign chairman, super ted by his assistant, ~scar Stauffer. WELL-KNIT On the Democratic side, as there s no que tion over the renomination of President Roosevelt, the national r nmmitUe is functioning exceedingly well. James A. Farley may be attacked as a prlitician first and last, but in between one must concede bis be hind-the-scenes organizing ability. Indeed, there are wager.: that when will not be a single dissenting vote campaign time oils around there will not be a. single dissenting voice with- ’ in the Democratic party— that every one either will go down the line for a New Deal victory, or remain quiet. The shouting dissenters of the pact months probably will not even “take a •walk.” There is no place to go. CAMPAIGN FUNDS The Republicans (the Democrats ft”) will have all the money they de sire The Democrats will have s'ene difficulty. Their chief source will be office holders. Democrats further charge that Re publicans will seek “invisible” means as well as “visible” methods of con veying money. A congresional in vestigating committee, dominated by Democr'ts and progressive Republi cans will be on their trail. Republicans ”’ill denounce this as unwarranted .aooping and charge the Democrats with utilizing relief funds to gain votes. Democrats will shout that Big Business Is trying to buy the e’ection through the Republicans. And—~s for the relief fund;—if the Republi cans believe that meso- is of any value to the Democrats just let them come close and see the worried Democratic : brows. MOVEMENTS Once upon a time it was believed thet some “mass” m'vcments would ol?y a leading part in the electirn. But unless movements take hold owin your heme town. And it seems that the crazier the fad ; the more popular it is. We mention all this so that you can aquire the proper mood to hear about the latest fad that has struck our American colleges. As far as we are concerned, it wins the diploma in idi-ctic foolishness. It is a form of charade, a panto mime representation of something tha: crmprises an enigma requiring an an swer so ridiculous that we doubt if one out of a million can gues it. while they are “hot,” they cool off, and like exploding meteors scatter away into infinity. Who will have faith in the Town send plan folw:ing the present con gre siinrl investigatlo? That is what political leaders are sayig. They add, now(but did not a year or so ago) that a broad federal social security program is needed, and must come, but the fantastic Townsend plan mere ly would have postponed meeting re alities, with grae consequences to everyone. trhe Rev. Charles S. Coughlin, still speaking to immense radio audiences, enters new fields of attack, which alienate people. Those people believe that many of his ideas, instead of freeing them economically, might bind them into the slavery of a fascism. The organized worker is becoming definitely afraid that Father Coughlin might lead him to such a plight as befell the workers who followed the siren calls of Mussolini and Hitler. Yet, Father Coughlin still has a large following, and with this back of him, he is catechizing congresmen and threatening them with defeat, where he is strongest. Then, there is the movement that promised to be the most powerful of all—the “share <the-weaith” move ment of the late Senator Huey P. Long. It was waven around his per sonality—and it collapsed with his death. Not that “share-the-w’ealth” ideas ever will fade. In the natural ■ tate of evolution, a larger and larger share of what a man produces will become his— and the state (th: people as a whole) will play a greater and greater part in the life cf a man. But that is a movement far broader, far more significant that a Huey Long could conceive. He was his own little Hitler. And the Hitlers merely are a passing phare in, this tremendous world development. VITAMIN D FOUND AID TO DIGESTION AS WELL AS BONES CAMBRIDGE, Mass..

Had East overtaken the K with his Ace, and led back the K and another heart, he would have been able to ruff a third round of that suit, defeating the contract then and there. West came on with another club as ordered, and South ruffed with the Q, to render access easier to trumps in dummy. The K of spades was led, follow ed by the 10 of spades, which dum my's J took. The 10 of diamonds was led through and held. The 6 of diamonds was won with the J. West showed out. The 8 of spades was led and overtaken with dummy’s 9. The 5 of diamonds was lead, taken with the Q, then the play of the Ace picked up the K from East’s hand. At the end of the ninth round of play the four cards held by each player were as shown.

It was almost cer tain that the two highest honors in hearts were divided between East and West. As West had not hesitated to bid 2-Hearts it was almost certain that he originally held at least five hearts, so that East at most held only two hearts. South lead a low heart. When West played low, so did dummy. East’s 9 won th etrick. Then East led the K of hearts, just as declarer had foreseen, but the next lead had to be a club, so that declarer discard ( ed his last heart and dummy ruffed. Then dummy lead a heart and de . clarer ruffed, just fulfilling his con . tract. It was fine card reading. YOU’RE TELLING ME!
