Once again it becomes necessary to judge Hitler not in the terms of a normal but of an abnormal person. His responses to peace pleas, like most of his words and deeds, are not those of the average human being. One section of his speech illustrates the point. He gives credit to Providence for showing him the way to power and at the same time keeps in concentration camps those who worship that same Providence rather than the heathen gods Nazism sets up. Such allusions come close to blasphemy but naturally Hitler thinks otherwise. There is nothing very comforting in the Hitler Reich- stag address. If some of his speech smacked of bluff and bluster, that cannot be said of his renunciation of the naval treaty with England and the demands made upon Poland with a like renunciation of a treaty with that na- tion. Such decisions are menacing to peace and not at all reassuring. Naturally a man like Hitler would resort to satire in referring to an appeal like that made by President Roose- velt. That is typical of the Nazi mind. It is somewhat in- solent for Hitler to charge Mr. Roosevelt with a breach of good manners after the international manners of the Ger- man Fueher in recent months. But with all that Hitler says and does in reply, there is internal evidence in the speech that President Roose- velt’s request for peace assurances from the German Chancellor has put that nation on the spot. The President's request was a reasonable one. All it sought was some word from Hitler that he would not rav. ish other smaller nations as he ravished Czecho-Slovakia. Hitler has not given that word as a peace-loving dictator could do. In fact there are sections in the speech which suggest that in his insane ambition to rule the world, he would not hesitate to repeat the tactics he has been em- ploving to terrorize smaller nations into bowing to his will. However his doing so will not be quite so easy in view of the President's plea and the preparedness which the democratic and other nations of the world are making to check an insane program of world domination. The speech, while far from being pleasant reading, is at least a further self-revelation of the man who threatens the world. The more the world understands the menaces, the better able it will be to meet it. - WHY ONE BOY WANTED TO DIE The other day the police of a western city saved a boy only thirteen years old, who had attempted to take his life by hanging. Now, if adults are interested in the welfare of young- er people, the question naturally arises, “What caused this youngster to prefer death to life?” Well, the lad told the police, listing four reasons: (1) His father was serving a life term in prison; (2) his step-father was in jail for drunkenness; (3) he didn't know where his mother was; (4) he couldn't go to school because he was ashamed of his clothes and his mother wouldn't mend them. We are not familiar with what might be called the “case-history” of this youngster. Neither are we cognizant of the efforts that may have been made by welfare work- ers and organizations to extend proper assistance. How- ever, we venture the assertion that nearly every commun- ity has, in its midst, young bovs and young girls who are facing desperate situations without much evidence that anybody else is interested in their plight. We are quite frank to say that the answer to such conditions does not roll easily off the tip of the tongue. Few persons know enough to attempt to outline fully the causes of these problem cases, much less the proper solu- i “There is none on your desk.” “Will { You bring me Lhe oranges?” TRADE 18 SWAPPING GOODS The people of the United States are always interested to hear that the nation has what is known as “2 favorable trade balance.” They seem to think that there is great national virtue to be found in the fact that the United States sold other lands more than we bought from them, There might have been a time when this was a sound and logical delight, but, just now, with most of the world's gold and our position as a creditor nation to consider, ijt doesn't make too much sense. Let's take the case of Rumania, for example, We do not like to believe that this Balkan nation will ally hergelf with the totalitarian State and there are some people who dislike the recent commercial agreement between Germany and the Rumanians, In the first two months of this year the Rumanian people purchased $1,600,150 worth of American products, This, it is true, is a small business for a nation that thinks and spends in billions, Nevertheless, the point is clearer when we learn that, during the same two months, the United States spent $345,000 for products that Rumania sells. How long can this last? Well, the Rumanians have to pay for their purchases with gold, goods or services, They have little in the way of services and not too much gold. That leaves them one practical way to buy American pro- ducts—that is through the selling of Rumanian products. If we want to build up the international trade of the United States we must do business with customers able to pay for what they buy. So far as Rumania is concern- ed. this means that we, or somebody else, must buy what she has to sell, or, in plainer terms, the products that she has to barter in the world mart. Germany moves to swap goods with the Rumanians and it is casy to see that unless we are willing to meet that kind of competition we won't sell many American products in Rumania, Of course, we can get along without the trade of Ru- mania. That would be easy, if that were all there is to the problem. Unfortunately, what applies to Rumanian trade is applicable to all nations, There must be reciprocity in commerce, which is, in its essentials, a swapping of goods for the mutual benefit of the traders. A nation, unwilling to swap, will, eventually, be unable to sell. MOTHER'S DAY Mother's Day will be observed by millions of Ameri. cans and it is right that some special notice should be taken of the day set aside to honor the Mothers of the na- tion. It should be borne in mind, however, that the obser. vance of a day, once a year, does not constitute the most appropriate or an exclusive method of honoring mother. hood in general or mothers in particular, There are men and women who naturally revere motherhood; they do not need a special day. They are worried, for example, by the sad plight of unfortunate mothers who suffer unnecessarily in connection with the birth and care of their children. Certainly, we recommend the observance of Mother's Day but we also advise that support be given to agencies set up to assist mothers throughout the nation. It is all right to praise motherhood but the best way show praise is to make it possible for all mothers to raise their children in a satisfactory manner. FEELS BETTER NOW Walter D. Fuller, president of the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia, was quite active most of last year delivering addresses and furnishing news stories to the effect that industry in Pennsylvania was leaving the state by droves because the onerous tax burden imposed upon it during the Earle regime had reduced profits to the vanishing point. At the annual stockholders’ meeting of the company held recently, Mr. Fuller said: “I don't want to arouse stockholders’ hopes too high, but business is coming along and, in my judgment, our net will exceed the first quarter of 1938 by more than 50 per cent.” Maybe it's the James tax program that is bringing the sunshine into Mr. Fuller's herst and profits back to his company. to i i an Our Weekly English Lesson Word.
