This is, we suspect, a basic law of civilized individuals. That all Jews in Germany will be punished because a misguided youth in Paris killed a Nazi official Is not justice although it demonstrates the full extent of the depravity that governs Germany. In Germany husbands and fathers have been arrested at work and deported into barren no-man’s land without cash and without the opportunity of informing their wives and children of their fate. This is brutality. In Germany Jewish professional men and reputable business men have been forced to give up their professions and businesses, regard- less of their individual character and past achievements and no way has been opened to them to make a living for themselves or thelr dependents. This is barbarism In Germany Jewish people have been barred from schools end colleges, prohibited from attending public performances and, at times, refused the right to buy food in the stores, regardless of the starvation of children and women. This Is rank outrageous inhumanity. There is no use to continue the recital. Hitlerism is intolerance, hatred and greed dominating a state that is organized for warfare on the basis of plunder. Hitlerism, it seems, represents organized rob- bery, theft and murder by deliberate design. Tt affects Germanic in- ternal policies andi 1s to be seen In the aggression toward Czecho- slovakia and other ations of Central and Southeastern Europe No wonder, in the United States, President Roosevelt, former President Hoover, Governor Landon, Secretary Ickes and practically every important and responsible official denounces German brutality, barbarism and inhumanity. No wonder, throughout the civilized world. the German government shocks the conscience of the human race and now paves the way for a revulsion of feeling that will, some day, hold Hitlerism responsible for its sins. PIGSKIN PARADE PULVERIZES PLATO his week the pigskin parade reaches its thrilling climax and, while a few games remain to excite the fcotball fans, the 1838 season has written its records Thousands of young men, in schools and colleges, through a gruelling period of training and contest for the and gratification of fellow students and alumni, as well as alma mater. The great stadiums have been filled with excited spectators as passers, runners, blockers and tacklers have enjoyed thelr moments of acclaim. Millions of dollars have been expended for training, travel and equipment to the end that weary dopesters might select “All- American” aggregations and individuals, with the unstated confession that it's a lot of guess work. The football craze is an interesting phenomena. Most institutions of higher learning would rather acquire a triple threat man than an embryonic Einstein or the successor to Plato. The average alumnus would rather see his alma mater win a football game than to discover some new truth for which mankind has been waiting for many cen- turies. In fact the idea 18 why support a college or a university if it falls to produce & winning eleven! We have nothing against football as a sport or as a spectacle, It is worth playing, we think, and worth watching. At the same time the tai] is wagging the dog, or something like that, at many Institutions of learning and the public is rapidly accepting an abnorma) idea of the place and value of sports in relation to education. WHO'S A DICTATOR? The incoming administration's professed admiration for “iwo- party government” hasn't-—so far as anyone has noticed—prompted Republican leaders to go about exhorting trace- jumpers in the Demo- cratic ranks to get back In the tugs and stay there. Governor-elect Arthur H. James on a certain Tuesday night not long ago hailed the events of the preceding day as “an impetus for the return of two-party government in Pennsylvania and the United “After all” sald James, speaking through the Republican State Committee, “the foundation of democracy ls the two-party govern- ment.” “Naturally.” he sald, “I am happy that the trend toward dicta- torship in this State has been definitely halted.” It didn't take long for these pronouncements to stop ringing in the ears of James’ right-hand-man, State Chairman James Torrance. He was in Harrisburg a few days later telling a group of Republi- can wotnen that the Republicans would be able to control the organi- zation of the State Senate after the first of the year as well ag that of the House. As one political observer put it: “If the Democrats are in power, it's dictatorship; but with the Republicans at the helm, it's two-party government.” have gone honor, glory for their RACE WIRES BANNED Some of the states think nothing of the transmission of rece news for gambling purposes, Not so of Pennsylvania, The State Ben- ate has just voted in favor of a bill banning the use of wires. Had the racing bill gone through, the cause of the gambler would have been promoted to the detriment of the people of the state. It would have been a sad day had he been permitted to gain more of a footing. 1t is highly possible another such bill will make its appearance at the next session of the legislature, It is hoped when it does the new legislature stands firmly against it, regardless of the political com- plexion of things. INTOLERANCE “Keep intolerance from America,” Miss Marlin tells (GOP) women,” says a headline, Oh, yes! How about a lot of intolerant liter- ature gotten out into the rural districts and distributed the last two days before election. The Democrats did not distribute it. That we know. Tolerance and intolerance begin at home. He who plays with intolerance for any purpose does a grievous injury to the whale American fabric and we do not exempt any who doeg it and there was plenty of it during the closing days of the last election cam- i he dh THE 1 Orrick CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Query and Answer Column J.
