Wanted: A Homeland
SHORTLY ACCORDING to a dispatch
from London the United States Great
Britain France Holland and Brazil will
confer in the British capital to discum
relief for Jews from Germany
We hope the conference takea place
But the Britiah Dominiona and the
Soviet Union should elan be present For
the British Empire and Russia together
ocupy approximately three-fifths of the
habitable globe and what is needed is
not a partial palliative but a permanent
Aolution of the larger problem faced by
Jewry am a whole
Great Britain has long made a con-
nicierable show of her interest in this
problem am witness the Balfour promise
in Palestine But he doesn't always
perform up to her promises And when
it cornea to admitting Jewinh refugees°
Into her own tight little isle& she Is ex-
tremely reluctant There are only some
3O0000 Jews among the 45000000 people
of the United Kingdom or one to every
150 Inhabitant And It appears she
doesn't want any more
Russia also vocally indignant over the
plight of the Jews has only about 2250-
(100 of them in her European territory
or approximately one for every 60 in-
habitants The United States on the other hand
numbers 4250000 Jewth people among
her citizen& or one for every 31 Inhabi-
tants Poland with 35000000 inhabi-
tants has 3500000 Jews or a ratio of
1 to 10 And so on
Somewhere especially within the Brit-
ish or Russian empires there should be
room for a Jewish state
TODAY WE understand Oswald
Pirow South African defense minister
is in Berlin for the purpose of discuss-
ing Germany's colonial demands Ac-
cording to The London Daily Mail "He
will offer Herr Hitler new colonies for
the Kaiser'a old ones" That is to say
he will offer portions of the French
Cameroon& Portuguese Angola and the
Belgian Congo—a typical piece of British
generosity with other people's territory
Yet it was the British who after the
World War received the pick of Ger-
many's colonies Sooner or later unless
all Mena fail she is going to have to
hand them back to the Kaiser's MICCPM
ant hence she might now make a virtue
of neceuity ad turn over one of them
to the Jews and let them build there a
Line new independent state
That or something like It appears to
ba the real need Today it happens to
be Germany but tomorrow It may be
some other country that sets these peo-
ple wandering In all there are some
15000000 of them in the world And
more than half of them live from day
to day at the mercy of events History
proves that scolding their oppressors
doesn't do any good nor even the threat
of war What Is needed therefore is a
practical permanent avenue of escape
Shawnee's Traffic Record
SHAWNEE CELEBRATED this week
And it had cause for celebration It had
gone a year without a traffic fatality
within 115 corporate limits It didn't
achieve that excellent record without
effort It campaigned for careful driv-
ing It did Its best to regulate traffic
In the interest of public safety It did
extremely well as the record shows and
nay the good work continue
All cities will congratulate Shawnee
end most of them should learn some-
thing Iron that notable achievement
Oklahoma City with a worse record this
year than last should strive to learn
what won this distinction for Shawnee
And If people and police really want to
reduce traffic toll here they will curb
speed and put an end to such special
privileges as ticket fixing

linv YORK CITY Nov 17--Everybody
is asking hnw the President la going to re-
act to the PleCtiOrte le what LOIlic Howe
UFPd to cell his "Dutch stubbornness" go-
ing to assert itself in a plastic pose of Alex
def7ing the lightning? Or will he respond
to the old Latin maxim that the voice of
the people la the voice of God?
I think I know the answer His first
reaction will be defiant For a couple of
months he will ignore the elertions and pull
a couple of Potemkin performancee on the
other side of the stage
But after all that I believe that he will
respond to the mandato of the elections as
all good Presidents should After all thia
is still a democracy and nobody knows ex-
actly what that means better than Mr
Roosevelt He has Immense pride but he
also has intensely ingrained the spirit of
the American system

WILL HE KICK the palace Janissariat of
radical advisors out of the White House win-

steered him wrong
After all and notwithstanding the fact
that this column has kicked that crowd all
OVOr the lot and they deserved It these
are brilliant and able men Most Important
of all they are fanatically loyal men and
that is what a leauer needs even more than
great ability

New Progress in Medicine
THOUSANDS OF DOCTORS are gath-
ered here as the Southern Medical
Association convention holds its annual
sest4ions Laymen know something of
the victories medicine has won They
know the average life span has been
I en g then e d largely because of the
achievements of 'l's science Yellow
fever once the scourge of the tropics
and often reaching Into northern climes
has nearly ceased to exist Smallpox
once a plague Is numbered with minor
and isolated maladies Diphtheria no
longer terrorizes every family In which
there are children The gains in the
light against tubereulnsis have been so
formidable that medical men believe It
can be wholly eliminated
All that and much more has been
achieved within the life span of some of
the doctors attending this convention
There Is abundant proof of the progress
made In medicine and surgery It Is
not unlikely that this important con-
vention will present new forward steps
In science that many men of medicine
will learn the Important discoveries of
a few that more of suffering humanity
may be benefited
Public health needs public co-operation
with the physicians if It is to be
adequately safeguarded Also a better
understanding between doctors and pub-
lic may aid In that humanitarian pur-
pose of providing proper medical care
far all These visiting doctors are the
city's welcome guests and something is
city's welcome guests and something
toward a better understanding already
has been gained through the public ses-
sion they arranged
Three Slow Days
COMMUNITY FUND subscriptions for
the first three days of Active campaign-
ing iri Oklahoma City this year made a
disappointing showing Less than half
the total of $325000 needed had been
raised Only $158372 was reported Wed-
nesday compared with $231213 for the
corresponding period last year
To make this slow performance ap-
pear worse by comparison Tulsa has
raised 70 per cent of its $243000 budget
Tulsa a smaller city actually had raised
more money in the first three days with
subscriptions of $17147397 reported
Oklahoma City charity and welfare
organizations need the $325000 sought
A poor start must riot be permitted to
result in failure Failure would mean
suffering for many and damage to the
whole community Let this slow start be
followed by a strong and successful fin-
ish It will be if everybody helps even a

Mr Cummings Is Leaving
HOMER CUMMINGS is perhaps not
the best attorney general this nation
ever had—nor yet the worst He has RC-
complished some improvements in the
Justice Department notably In criminal
apprehensions and prosecutions In ex-
pediting court procedure and In prison
a d m in istration
A friendly and easy-going fellow who
prefers to bask in the sunshine of today
rather than in that of a visionary to-
morrow afternoon Mr Cummings' tal-
ents as a harmonizer have been severely
taxed in the divided councils of the New
Deal
Mr Cummings' wide experience in
practical politics failed him miserably
In his most ambitious undertaking As
chief of the Administration's legal forces
It Wfit his assignment to bring the Judi-
cial branch of Government Into the New
Deal fold The scheme he concocted was
designed cm the theory that the hand Is
quicker than the eye Argument: The
Federal Court dockets were crowded
Remedy: For each judge over 10 years
who fails to retire appoint a younger
judge to sit with him Object: To pack
the Supreme Court It was a clever
scheme—too clever Mass opinion re-
volted Congress rebelled The packing
plan was overwhelmingly defeated And
that was the turning point where the
New Deal's popularity started Its long
toboggan downward
Mr Cummings will retire to private
life in January And we daresay that
If ever his right to that particular niche
In history is disputed it will be only by
a deathbed confession of some anony-
mous confederate overwhelmed by a re-
morseful desire to take the rap for Mr
Cummings even as Homer took the rap
for F D R

'Smart' Is the Word
ANOTHER PROMINENT Irishman Pat
Hurley former secretary of war once took
3Npr a busted oil company as receiver and
was going over its organization to deter-
mine upon whom he could rely "This guy
Smith" he asked "la he O K?"
"He'd go down the road for you" was
the answer
"And Jones—triend or enemy?" asked
Pat
The answer wan "I would say well dis-
posed" "Well disposed hell!" blurted Pat "Is he
friend—would he commit perjury for us?''
"Friend yes—periury no"
Pat Hurley is believed throughout the Oil
Industry VI have said: "Write the guy off
our lists as an acquaintance"
This story is pure myth
But I believe it interprets Tommy Cor-
coran When Mr Roosevelt decides to turn
to the right in answer to this new popular
mandate he could have no better aid
Tommy is and 'le pretends to be "only an
armor bearer" He will be as eager to close
up the rift between Mr Roosevelt and his
real strength Jack Garner and Jim Far-
ley as he has recently been so active in
wideiling it "Smart" is the word for
Tommy
An Oklahoma
Slant on Things
By
Mrs
Walter
Ferguson
ONF WONDFSIS sometimes what
IIIP girls expect of marriage Too
much by far if we follow the quick
trips from Divorce Court to altar
and back again
One Of the more recent notables
in make the journey was Martha
Raye who decree became abso-
lute on Sept 28 and who married
her second husband 10 days later
There is no inclination on our
part to SCOld Mia Reye She is
very young and has followed the ex-
ample of many older and wiser
heads in Hollywood and elsewhere
The chnneem tire that she will ac-
rillire sevrral other husbands before
her glamorous daya are over since
this is now the fashion
It is surely pertinent however to
ask what these people want from
merringe Upon what objective are
their hearts set? Is theirs a quest
for perfection in a mate or only the
expression of dissatisfaction with
the emptiness of their celluloid
world?
NOBODY CAN answer those
questions with authority We can
only guess at the strange impulses
Which artusto the many men and
women of our time who seem to
seek in marriage something which
no mortal has ever found there—
"happiness ever after"
The spectacle of the shifting of
mates which goes merrily on in all
classes of our society is a onthetic
reminder that we lack some spiritual
quality for the better shaping of
our lives It is riot proof also that
what we seek in others is that
which we do not possess within our-
selves—the capacity to love with
PIPrt 11 small measure of constancy?
It seems reasonable to believe
that the faithless men cannot ex-
pect faithfulness In his women and
vice versa Yet faithfulness is the
one thing we hope and pray for in
our eager search for perfect love
The bluster of our thorough-going
moderns is unable to hide this long-
ing for It is in truth an inherent
desire in every heart
How like children we are grabbing
for h a opt n esS crying for som
bright unattainable moon It is
enough to make the angels weep
"Off with the old love on with the
newt" we shout and' behind mu'
hollow laughter there is a bitterness
too deep for tears

Chombcdo in Lost
Test Vote on Munich
By HEYWOOD BROUN
ONE OF THE most important
elections held in the last 1PW weeks
came a little before our own and
was held in a suburb of London But
It was a contest of far more than
local SignifiCFMCP Dartford returned
a Laborite in a by-election The dis-
trict was not precisely a Tory
slronghold although a Conserve-
liVe had been the Incumbent but
here was a straight out-and-out test
of the Chamberlain polies of col-
laboration with Hitler The Munich
Part itself was the issue upon which
the men and women voted
And the stretegic advantage lay
with the government Dartford is a
community of little elerks and small
shopkeepers It is filled with ths
kind of people whom H O Wells
used formerly as the tharecters in
his novels I tether imagine that
it would be possible to find in Dart-
ford an English equivalent for Web-
ster's Mr Milquetoast Certainly it
Is not a warlike district
THE LAND OF VILLAS
The villas do not stand shoulder
to shoulder but for the most part
are semi-detached Between the
houses run little alleys in which on
a clear day it might be possible to
swing a kitten And here the very
average Enelishman lives in his cas-
tle with a few flowers in front and
radishes abaft his dwelling
Dartford sent its men and boys to
the war in 1914 and its women folk
huddled in shallow cellars when the
Zeppelins csme over Those who
came back from France bore with
them their share of decorations for
bravery under fire They were a
stubby lot but also stubbir Yet
though they had acouitteu them-
SeireS well the warriors of Dartford
took no great Joy in the adventure
They were glad to stand behind
counters again rather than up to
the neck in mud and blood
Although Chamberlain sits in the
seat of the mighty and comes from
a line of monocled Parliamentary
leaders his origins are in the Dart-
ford art Cliveden came later
The Prime Minister spoke out of
a knowledge of middle-class psychol-
ogy when he said that Czechoslo-
vakia was a far-away land and a
tiny country He realized that in the
little houses of Dartford a man
might stand up and touch a roof
which was all that stood between
him an enemy bomb
THE PEACE OF MUNICH
AND SO HE made the peace
which passes understanding firm in
the belief that the small and hum-
ble of the placid villas along the
Thames would agree that even tem-
porary safety of life and limb was
of more Importance than abstract
things called liberty and Justice And
in the vigorous campaign Chamber-
lain's men spoke of just one thing
when they argued for the Tory
cause They pushed aside all other
issues and said He kept us out of
war"
But when the peace came the men
and women of Dartford found it
was no peace at all They could still
hear the voice of Hitler There was
no cessation In the tramp of march-
Ing men The fires of F a seism
burned more brightly And to the
hearts of clerke and man trades-
men of Dartford came a consuming
decision Among them were those
whose ancestors pulled a antgi bow
at Hastings And louder than the
roar of any bomb there came the
inner voice to say Viikitice and lib-
arty are not Just words These are
the very soil in which our flowers
grow"
They turned the Tories out They
said: "This thing is not good enough
for British freemen"
Is There a Chicken in That Egg?

Troditions of
A Doctor
To the Editor:
Are inspirations conceived in
schools? Are traditions and ideals
held siicred end passed on from
one class to another?
Back in Arkenses when the heat
bore down and lowered the water
in the wells: when snnite treks
crossed the sand In the creek beds
typhoid fever ley in ambush reedy
to pounce upon the most innorent
victim All clay and all night my
father wht was a villege nd coun-
try doctor would ride over the
dusty roads administering to the
for the sick and protect themselves
When he became drunk from loss
of sleep he would lie sometimes
beside the road his head resting
on his saddle that lie had removed
to cool his horse a back or maybe
some good woman seeing his ex-
haustion would persuade him to
rest under some still-leafed oak
upon a barrel-stave hammock with
the flirss from the sick room
swarming over him Oftimea the
tender hand of an old man would
keep these flies away with a tur-
key tail fan Three times he con-
tracted the disease but recovered
to an on his mission
When the winter snows fell and
bent the pine boughs over the
roads when open houses and fat
meat and corn pones and sorghum
reduced the vitality of the people
of the Antoine Mountain section
the chilly blast of pneumonia would
inevitably howl My father would
tin a small ex over his saddle bags
put on his fur cap and ear muffs
get on his sure-footed Sr Rhin and
ride over the Chaney Trace (the
narrow path over the mountains)
to care for those who believed he
could bring them back from the
dead
Once in the spring when a storm
had raged all day when mountain
streams grabbed trees and cracked
them to pieces against the rocks
a call came that a certain wom-
ana time for childbirth had come
My father knew all the women in
her family lie knew a midwife
could not deliver her baby With
my mother wringing her hands
and reminding him that they had
nothing with which to pay him
he got on Sea him and started out
All that night and all the next
day we had no word About sun-
down this woman's husband threw
his reins over the hitching post
and came in He told us how he
had waited on the other side of
the stream for my father how he
had watched him try to make
Seal go into it but he wouldn't:
how he had tied his delivery satchel
on his back and crawled on ail

of thin rather celebrated mishap
not in honest sympathy for the un-
fortunate woman and the baby but
In propaganda for collective medi-

Is not Justified by the facts
STATEMENT FALLS SHORT
THE ACCOUNT ssys: 'Sunday
morning Oct 22 at 7 o'clock the
patient WAS delivered of a 6 or 7-
month still-birth it rooming
house to which she went only about
An hour before Her home address
is not known and she was in labor

"She bad previously been taken
to two hospitals by a roomer and
had been examined ' nod refused
admission because she was not reg-

call the district physician because
be said he did not wish to disturb
him on Sunday The roomer then

In the neighborhood The first was

I swered the doorbell ' no one was
' there He reported that he had not
taken care of an obstertics case in
30 years
The second doctor a specialist

ment end left instructions to call
the hospital if further treatment
was necessary
'The patient refused to answer
questions made no statements and
' disappeared one week later It ap-
pears that there are 10 hospitals
! within a distance of from three
!blocks to one end one-half miles
' from the place in which this de-
livery occurred"
Well now' in the first plare the
author of this writ apparently can't
even count much less compose a
I coherent Journalistic statement He
says the roomer tried to reach five
doctors but fades into static after

"send an ambulance" The mean-
' ing of that offer is not made clear
but the patient end the friend who
was trying to promot6 a little hu
man kindness at that hour of a
' Sunday morninq cannot be blamed
for regarding It aS just another

SOME BUCK PASSING
ON THE FACE of this account
it is necessary to exonerate the so-
called district physician and ram
the buck to the sergeant The next
men the one who was taking a!
bath vindicates himself easily butt
the stipulation that he hadn't taken
en obstetrics case in 30 years indi-
cates a false attitude What differ-
ence would that make? Kid in-
ternee handle such tasks and even
policemen have been known to meet
emergencies of this kind
A doctor is a doctor and a pref-
erence for localized practice would
not impress laymen as an excuse for
refusal of emergency help to a
stricken human being The next
also "does not practice obstetrics"'
a fact which may be ignored as of
no value but he was asleep and
apparently sleeps very soundly The
one who offered to send the ambu-
lance doesn't take Advantage of the
opportunity to do himself justice
He doesn't explain why in this
critical moment he didn't go him-
self and the layman is left to sus-
pect that the ambulance service
might have found excuses for delay
or refusal considering the cold in-
difference which the woman en-
countered at the two hospitals
People do impose heartlessly on
doctors This woman had an obliga-
tion to make inquiries and arrange-
ments months before While she
was having this wretched experience
a lot of habitual indigents far and
wide in this country were calling out
ambulance doctors to treat them
for drunkenness wakefulness worry
and the itch But The Journal of
the A M A: hasn't exonerated the
profession in this case But The
Journal's own account it was a
miserable incident with strong in-
dications of heartlessness at the two
hospitals where a mere paperwork
formality excluded a desperate pen-
niless person

the Wind" but circulation isn't an accurate
gauge of literary excellence Distinguished as

commenced in a ShasAmee hospital room Feb
27 1937 has evolved to its final sequence The
man who brought about Evans' appointment

his law enforcement There will long be
abundent room for argument whether pos-
sibly Evans was defeated because he WU too
thorough in his law enforcement rather then
for any shortcomings In that chrection---Shaw-
