15¢ to 25¢. Hence no family need
neglect even minor head colds.
Here is what to do: Take two
BAYER tablets when you feel a
cold coming on — with a ful) glass
of water. Then repeat, if necessary,
according to directions in each
package. Relief comes rapidly.
The Bayer method of relief
is the way many doctors now
approve. You take Bayer Aspirin
for relief — then if you are not

Washington.—There is a strange
similarity between certain things
that are going on
in Russia at this
time and phases
of events right
here in the United States. So much
alike are these things, indeed, that
one hears a great deal of comment
on the circumstance.
Most persons are familiar,

vincingly into it. It means, as well,
that Attorney General Cummings
who was at first one of the great ad-
mirers of President Roosevelt is no
longer among the presidential insid-
ers and that he must be classed
again as a Democrat as distin-
guished from the New Dealers.
But, you ask, what has that got
to do with Russia, with Stalin, with
liquidation of ‘‘counter revolution-
| aries,” etc? Again, it seems to me
that the analogy is plain. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been convinced
by the radicals and long-hairs that
he has no great need any longer
for the breed of simple, sound, sane
thinkers, or the practical politi-
cians. The advisors who are cling-
der Stalin by the simple expedient
of a so-called military trial. The
farce that is called a trial is noth-
ing more nor less than an exposi-
tion of charges against the accused
who are, without exception, tortured
until they ‘‘confess.” That is to
say, a torture in jail, a physical
maltreatment, is administered until
the accused would rather have death
than a continuation of the physical
sulfering.

The mock trials and the *“liqui-
dation’ in Russia are being carried
on at this time because it is
charged, there are elements in Rus-
sia that are seeking to bring back
Leon Trotsky. Trotsky has a dif-
proletariat in mind. He has to hide
out in Mexico, or get shot himself.
Anyway, the Stalin group announces
boldly that Russia is going forward
(whatever that means) and

its army officers and most of its
government officials

Now, in calling attention to the
no notions of com-
paring them on the
basis of the actual
results. I want to
deal with fundamentals, with prin-
ciples. It seems to me this can be
done without animosity. We will
start, therefore, with one small and
rather insignificant matter.
A few weeks ago, President
Roosevelt named Stanley Reed to
be an associate justice of the Su-
preme court of the United States.
And in the
United States
geen their plans go down in the
crash of the depression and have to
blame somebody. They argue that
if their plans had not had interfer-
ence from such as Mr. Cummings,
or Secretary Roper or the Depart-
ment of Commerce, or “Jim' Far-
ley's practical politics, surely, the
wishful thinkers would have suc-
ceeded. They could not line up the
“counter revolutionaries'’ to be shot
in this country, but they can destroy
their political influence.

way, because Mr. Reed will

I think the country is fortunate in
that appointment.
But when Mr. Reed was promot-
ed, the President named Robert H.

Well,
a job where he has to do legal work
instead of being a political mouth-
piece. Their satisfaction was short-
lived, however, because who should
be named to succeed Mr. Jackson
but Professor Thurman Arnold of

from Mr. Jackson, it will be like
looking for needles in haystacks to
learn what Mr. Arnold's ideas are
on business practices. Maybe I
should say, it will be like chasing
a very small insect that has a habit
of biting and is equipped with a
voracious appetite.
Thus we are come to the point of
comparison. What does it mean
that Messrs. Jackson and Arnold
should be given those posts? The
answer is comparatively simple,
albeit quite significant. It means
that President Roosevelt has taken
control of the Department of Justice
out of the hands of Attorney Gen-
eral Cummings. It means that he
has yielded again to the left wing,
the radical, advisers who have man-
aged time after time to get the
presidential ear and whisper con-
to start with,
at the finish. It is always the
“other fellow’ that is to blame.
“If my plan had been followed we
would have succeeded,” etc. and so
on. There is that counterpart in
Russia, I insist. It proves beyond a
shadow of a doubt that no one can
define ‘‘liberalism.”

I mentioned Postmaster General
Farley as being on the outs with
President Roose-
velt. It would not
be surprising if
Mr. Farley quit
his job. Observers in Washing-
ton know that he is pretty much
disgusted by the refusal of the Pres-
ident to be guided by advice from
the party's national chairman. It
is possible, of course, that Mr.
Farley will prefer to continue in the
job as postmaster general and be

that provision in the new tax bill
would have saved the face of a small
coterie of presidential advisers

half of the Democrats joined with
the Republicans to kill off the plan.
From this and other circum-
stances, it is plain to see how the
rumored Farley-Garner alignment
would be backed up by such po-
litical powers as Senator Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi. Senator Harri-
son, it will be remembered, was
rewarded for carrying New Deal
buckets by having the President
urge selection of Senator “Dear Al-
ben” Barkley, of Kentucky, to be
Democratic leader of the senate.
Senator Barkley since has run into
a fight for renomination in his own
state. Senator Harrison is said to
have a following of thirty-odd or
more senators.
