Mean while, we would have the gentleman understand once and for all time that we, of the Southland, do not sympathize with his ideas and will not tolerate the dissemination of such putrid doc trine. It would be interesting to know for whom Mr. Jarvis speaks in making his assertion. Does he express the sentiment of labor? Does he voice the desires of the many who have heretofore sup ported him politically? We think not, but time will answer the question. It appears that Mr. Jarvis made his assertion when he ral lied to the defense of the Communistic meetings now being con ducted from time to time on Bay street, East, to which this pub lication has heretofore called the attention of officialdom. For the first time in our history, we of Savannah are having an opportunity of a close-up view to Communistic activities, and we count it a thing more than passing strange that at this par- time, Mr. Jarvis should rush to declare himself in favor of alien doctrine. sl/ It is high time that our community take stock' of the activi ties and attitudes of our officials; it is imperative that we call a IT '■ In this connection, let us look at the record to date. First, we have outlanders steeped in their filthy political lore garnered from the cesspools of Europe, preaching their rotten ideas to Savannah negroes, unhindered by the officials of our city. Second, our chief magistrate, Mayor Gamble (?) declares he will not discriminate between white and black; Third, our Mr. Jarvis, member of council, representative of our people, announces that he is firmly in favor of social equality as between white and black. Merciful Heaven, whither are we bound ? Are we going to sit supinely down and permit a continuation of this infiltration of radical and unhealthy propaganda? We are not! The “Forest City of Georgia” is of the old and deep South and in our Southland there exists today the last stronghold of American culture and white supremacy. The other parts of our nations have been polluted by these imported theories and this subversive school of thought. Insidiously and persistently the apostles of this new thought have, for their own benefit, sought by every means possible to inculcate their unholy doctrine into the minds of our people, and particularly into the minds of a certain class. Through it all, however, the Southland has tenaciously clung ’-to and defended her principles. Shall we now, at this late date, having observed the diaboli cal results of these ddetrines, forsake and abandon our principles, L the value of which has been proven by time and the necessity has been demonstrated repeatedly by the blood and of our people? ’ Shall we now take the first steps leading toward an un- destiny! . ■ It needs at the newspapers of the day chronicling di® z - - : . x J, the communization of France, i Russia to see what may easily those great American princi- IfJefferson and Patrick Henry. \ •' <<* . jd fast to that which is good '>; '- .

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 22—When, in the near future, as expected, Under secretary of State William Phillips goes abroad, In the role of United States ambassador to Rome, rumor hath it that he will be succeeded by one of three individuals: 1. Norman H. Davis, America’s dip lomatic on missions dating as far back as Pres ident Wilson’s day. 2. Sumner Welles, now assistant sec retary of state, a less important post than the undersecretaryship though reasonably exalted. 3. William C. Bullitt., present Amer ican ambassador to Moscow, albeit momentarily on leave of absence In the United States, presumably on bus iness connected with the pending presidential campaign. • • * Davis* Qualifications Davis is mentioned as a suitability for the undersecretarial job especial ly because of his undoubted popular ity with foreign statesmanship.

The Old World powers, which got approximately a dozen billions of Uncle Sam’s money on the strength of the advice be gave and then, Finland excepted, welched on almost the total of the indebted ness, surely would be thankless if they did not like him now. Otherwise he is very experienced, too. He has been Washington’s spokes man in nearly 20 years of Internation al conversations. As a result, to quote Sir Wilmott Lewis, the London Times’ Washington correspondent, in a recent address before the National Press club. Uncle Samuel uniformly has been found “holding the hat”. (Oh speaking "off the record”, Europeans know which side their bread is buttered on). Likewise, Davis has been training in the state department itself. He was an undersecretary and, for a while acting secretary in 1920-’2l, and knows the routine at home as well as abroad. • • • WeHee My contacts with Norman Davis have been such as I have had at press conferences, but it happens that I am personally acquainted with Sum ner Welles and Bill Bullitt. Sumner Welles was first secretary of the United States embassy In Buenos Aires, when I was running a newspaper there. Welles, I will say, was persona grata' among the Ar gentines. He speaks their language well. He is what they call “simpxtico” —sympathetic; friendly. As Amer ican ambassador in Cuba, near the end of the Machado regime, he was considerably criticized, but I believe that anyone, in the circumstances, would have been criticized. If. as Is suggested, the Americas are approaching a “rapprochement", he unquestionably is a competent functionary to engineer it. It Is common talk that Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Assistant Secretary Welles are a bit jealous of each other in this Latin American matter—Secretary Hull having his own very decided ideas and Assistant Welles believing that he is the real expert. It such friction exists, it should be eliminated. Hull’s Latin American ideas are all right. Wells understands details and psychology. « * * Bullitt I know William Phillips, too. He was first secretary of the United States embassy in London, when I was European manager there for an American news service. He is a cautious diplomat, who doubtless will do ac well as anyone toward keeping Uncle Sam out of trouble id Ethiopia. It is safe betting that he will not collect any European war debts, however. But nobody could do that, they are uncollectible. —WORLD AT A GLANCE— NORRIS GOES ON BALLOT Without the Backing of Any Party IN PETITION LANDSLIDE By I iFwST .TF. £lO BBL (Central Press Staff Writer) A remarkable demonstration is oc curring in respect to Senator George W. Norris, veteran progressive, who just has passed his seventy-fifth birth day. The people of Nebraska are refus ing to permit him to retire. In spite of 100-degree temperatures, more than 5,000 signatures a day have been attached to Norris peti tions. James W. Lawrence, editor of the Lincoln Star, chairman of the Norris committee, remarks: ‘'Never in American history before has any man been projected for pub lic office without either the backing of one of the older parties or a newly formed third party where the can didacy involved was was the United States senate." Mr. Lawrence has 20 times the legal number of signatures necessary to put Senator Norris on the ballot again. • • • Farm Plans Rumors have it that Gov. Alf M. Landon has modified his campaign plans in the farm states because of the drouth. Both major parties have had trouble over farm plans for years now. That which suits the east doesn’t at all satisfy the farm regions, and vice versa. Editor Lawrence speaks of Gover nor Landon’s problem in an editorial in the Lincoln Star, remarking: “At Gov. Alf M. Landon’s Estes Park retreat, recently, Senator Carey My New York By James Aswell ===ac==s=s=s=ss (Copyright, 1936, Central Press As sociation) NEW YORK, July 22.—Rando-mus ing: Local suggested to the sleuth story writers as a good setting for a murder —the dark and barren unfin ished lesser approaches to the new Tri-Boro Bridge, on the Long Island side. ...

Joe Dineen, the newswriter, has scripted a thriller which will presently be filmed with a freakish variation of the “murder” title sequence: “Shake Hands With Murder” . . . There is one line of work that re ports no unemployment problems: the managers can’t get enough chorus boys for their musicals . . • The scarcity has upped salaries. ... I have been privately puzzle for a long time about the need for having the pretty boys in musicals; I question whether girls in the audience like to watch them traipse about—certainly they add nothing to the entertain ment value of show for male specta tors. . . . Jack Oakie, I am told, began his career as a chorus boy, but was quickly transferred to virile roles. . . . Incidentally, I cannot remem ber ever having read a magazine story or novel with a chorus boy for hero. . . . I wonder what became of Captain Dingle, who used to write those salty sea tales for all the magazines? . . . What a name that was for a sea story author! . . • And Rafael Sabatini; his monicker hasn’t crossed this glance of late. . . . And does Michael Arlen still turn out those gossamer tales wtih the patent-leath er sophistication? . . . Charlie Chap lin is wandering the darker streets late at night plotting a film in which to star his girl friend, Paulette God dard —but in which Charlie himself will not appear. ... “A Woman of Paris,” which Charlie directed but did not act in, was one of the memorable movies. ... He is also planning ahead for another characteristic flick er featuring himself. . . • • • • The Paramount, in Times Square, has gained a subtle folksy aura by spotting a young man called “Mogul the Mystic” in the lobby, to read the minds of giggling girls. ... A Rialto cut-up asked him to name the horse fated to win next day at a lead ing track. . . . Doubtless you have guessed his comeback: “Sorry, but I can’t read horses’ minds.” . . . Now the streets are pack-jammed with an unwonted multitude of sidewalk sales men, who hawk everything from “pa tent” radio-static removers to Rube Goldberg canopeners; the phenomen on is a sure Index on more easy money floating about. . . . Vignette: the doorman for that 52nd St. oasis with the large Landon sunflower in his lapel—he gets a fresh one every morning and they cost him 15 cents a day out of tip money. • * • There were some gloomy nights re cently for Broadway legitimate shows . . . The heat was withering and yet I passed Claude Greneker, the Boswell of the “Follies” (which will reopen soon) and he was cheered to find eight—count ’em—shows had survived the sizzlers . . . Among them were those two perennials, “To bacco Road" and “Three Men on a Horse.” ... In the cases, the boys are wondering and wagering on the profound question: will Congressman Zloncheck be re-elected? . . . The odds, which are slightly ironic with few takers, seem to favor his getting the toga for another session in Wash ington. ... A miniature golf course —remember?—has had a rebirth out Long Island way and is doing well, to judge from the crowds seen from the highway. . . . • • • The new taxis here, with tops which slide back, are grand for gap ing up at the cloud-grazing architec ture, but whenever I take one I sit under the al fresco arrangement rather gingerly. . . .

Frank O. Lowden of Illi nois, the Republican candidate for the presidency was told he must continue the direct payments in a soil conser vation program to be participated in by middle western fanners. “So it is apparent Governor Lan don is receiving his baptism in the joys and privileges of endeavoring to reconcile two .sharply conflicting views within his party. Its answer will be given in the acceptance speech which Governor Landon will deliver at Topeka late this month.” • B ♦ Foor Congressmen! Congressmen are having night mares this campaign. If a congressman voted against the Lemke-Frazier farm mortgage inflar tion pill, he Is being fought by Father Coughlin—no matter how good a con gressman he might have been. If he opposed the Townsend old age pension plan and its sales tax, he Is being fought by the Town sendites, even though he favored so cial security on a broad scale. If he voted against the Guffey act, he is opposed by union labor. If he voted for measures desired by union labor, he is opposed by the United States Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, is opposed by the American Legion. If he voted against the bonus, he 1 If he votes “yes” on new deal meas ures, he Is sniped at by the American Liberty league- If he pushed the pure drug bill, patent medicine and advertising in terests seek to unseat him. But nobody tries to organize in his behalf for being a good congressman. And so on down the line. 1 A congressman is not a rubber stamp to the president. He is a puppet tossed around by a score of organizations, which seek to gain control by intimidation. Ironic Take the case of Representative Arthur D. Healey of Somerville, ’ Mass. Representative Healey is co-author of the Walsh-Healey act requiring contractors doing government work to pay standard wages, an act high ly desired by labor, one of the few progressive acts passed by congress at its last session. But Father Coughlin has decreed that Representative Healey shall be defeated because he voted against the Frazier-Lemke bill. How Widely Armed? How widely armed are the private police of the steel corporations? Nobody can ascertain. Newspaper reporters and photographers are .chased away from plants by armed guards. No nation has such an‘effi cient “border patrol” as steel plants have at present time. Labor continues to make charges of violence. And it demands congres sional investigations—which are cer tain to come. One New York financial column boasts that a union organizer was “escorted” out of a steel town. Labor asserts that this is no less than ab duction —and demands action. (But many steel towns still are domi nated by “corporation” officeholders and police. Newspaper photographers coming to these towns have learned that. Union organizers can expect no safety. Rubber union leaders assert there is a concerted effort on the part of They cite their own experiences in corporations to iniimldate organizers.

Why doesn’t anybody ever tell me anything?” And the family laughed and one of them said: “If you’d only keep your eyes and your ears open, you would hear and you would see what Is go ing on. Everybody tells you every thing, but you don’t listen.” So I went outside, with my eyes and ears open, and a great green oak leaned down to me and said: “I told you to be strong and patient.” And the green grass looked up • and murmured: “I’ve warned you many a time to make the best of the rain that falls, to make the best of your short season and to bend with the heavy winds." And the wind blew against my face and said: “How often have I told you that life is good and that I can blow your worries away?” And a dog came up to me ana rubbed himself against my knees and said: “Haven’t I told you there is loyalty and friendliness in the world?” And a cat crept out of the shrub bery and lingered near and said: “Have I not given you a lesson in self-sufficiency, In dignity, in mind ing your own business?” And I saw many a light in many a home, each a symbol of a human being, and they all said tome: “Doi not speak to you of courage and pa tience and strength and quiet hap piness?” And ten times ten thousand stars shining l n the great blue heavens said to me: “Have we not taught you reverence and wonder, have we not instructed you in quiet humility and reminded you of the immensity and magnificence of the univer* and to 1 you of your Creato’- | And ‘ tolaiv spirit—l everyth! r . - s ■••AT' - - -‘r’.:
