ee _ ‘being Out Loud By H. M. L. CV ada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA in the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. —Alexander Hamilton From the Californian, March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists Racial prejudices we shall have always, undoubtedly,: until all races are merged in one. It would be interestnig to be resurrected 2,Q00 years from now, just to see what the amalgamation of races looked like We suspect, that human physiognomy will reflect a strong admixture“lof Mongolian characteristics and an Othello like complexion. The advantages of race merger, one can think of, are many. Perhaps “the chief blessing would be universal peace. With one race. possessing the earth there would be no point in war, unless of course, revolutions occured whenever local governments became oppressive. : Sometimes one wonders. whether wars, World Wars, and others, are not caused primarily by race prejudice. The French, who are even more individualistic than Americans, hate the Germans because they are so slavishly obedjent and so readily regimented. There is a jealousy between the two inherently hostile neighbors. ; The Germans have been foremost in music and science, and, learning in general. The French have led the world ‘im cosmopolitan culture, the arts, particularly in painting, sculpture and the theatre. Both have contributed enormously to world civilization. It is painful to any enlightened. observar to watch Germany now slip back into the dark age of barbarism. So swiftly it is done, that we are actually able to watch tthe transformation. For Russia, the far from perfect adaption of Marxian communism, may be a step upward from the abysmal human mire of the old imperial regimes. But for Germany which so long held up a torch for world progress, Nazism is a leap backward into the indecencies, ignorance, bigotries and cruelties of the — middle ages. The fact that Germany, for nearly a century held the torch of civilization, one now suspects, is because for all of that time the Jewish people found there a congenial and pleasant home. It was more of a. home to. Jews’ than many other countries there was much more intermarriage between German gentiles and Jews than is usual. This national pogrom directed against the Jews in Germany today is really destroying that part of the population which contributed most to German culture. God knows there is very little of real culture or refinement among the German Junkers, the wealthy and usually landed. class, that led Germany into the World War. The power of Hitler in Germany is merely the power of a mystic to arouse the hatreds of the low‘est German order, to play on their fears and emotions, to attract an unreasoning loyalty of a people which places obedience to commands above all other virtues. That he was formerly a house painter, is no reproach, or should not be among:e a democratic people. He was also a corporal, and Napoleon was a corporal for some years in the French army before he beeame the despot of Europe. But that a great people should give allegiance, and render slavish devotion™to such an insignificant, trivial creature as Hitler, is one of the most amazing phenomena of all time. That he is neurotic, halfmaniacal, does not lessen the wonder of it. As for the Jews they will suffer as they always have suffered, because as a race they are more intelligent than other races. Whenever brute force assumes the authority of government, the first step to maintain authority is to kill or expel those who think. It was done in Russia. In Japan intelligent people are not, at the moment being killed, ‘but they are ruthlessly suppressed, In« Ttaly no one may think but Mussolini. In. Russia after killing’ off their own ‘intelligentsia they imported brains to serve in numerous important posts. ‘But if the Jews suffer, they will also survive. The civilized world outside the autocracies, will help the pitifully robbed and beaten Jews of Germany as well as it can. But it is not so easy to do and Germany cannot export Jews because no country can absorb so many at a moment’s notice. To find them a home somewhere on the earth, where they may again become a nation, a proud nation, ‘a splendid nation, as they once because . Vol. 12, No. 93.

Belknap Goldsmith, forest service official of this city, and his son Warren, yesterday made a __ heroic attempt to save John Vanderbilt, 25 and James Myers, 21, who were drowned while ice skating on Lake Van Orden, P. G. & E. reservoir near Soda Springs. Vanderbilt was manager of the plumbing department of the Auburn Lumber Company, and Myers was a student in Placer Junior College. During the past summer he had been guard at the Big Bend camp ground for the forest service. Myers, making a circle around the lake, was the first to go through the ice. Vanderbilt attempting to assist Myers also went through. Then Goldsmith, lying down on the ice and Two Drown Despite Heroic Rescue Try By Forest Official reaching for Vanderbilt broke through into the icy water. Warren Goldsmith, witnessing his Jfather’s desperate plight, ran to the Goldsmith car at the edge of the lake and © gathering all loose overcoats and clothing in the car, knotted them into a rope, and throwing this to his father, succeeded in landing him on firmer ice. Meantime a rope was secured and. thrown to Vanderbilt, but owing to the fact that he was attempting to hold Myers above water, he was unable to grasp and both of the young men went down. Forest Ranger John Hodgson and others dragged the lake during the afternoon and recovered the bodies of the two boys last eve-. ning after the = BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE LIKES NEW TRADE PACT LONDON, Nov. the Anglo-American trade treaties as a contribution to world peace’ as well as to commerce, the British Board of Trade has indicated great satisfaction at the completion of the negotiations. : In a summary of the agreement, the Board called it an “important and significant step in efforts of the United Kingdom and United States Governments to reduce trade barriers and so to contribute to world peace and prosperity.” It is reeognized that many “tompromises have had to be made, surprise only being expressed that where such varied and numerous interests were affected, it should have proved possible in the end to reach such an extensive and, tpon the whole, so beneficial a settlement. These considerations have not prevented ages and counter-advantages on either side, though complaints are still to come from those particular British industries whose individual interests happen to be adversely affected. In this connection, cordial recognition is also accorded to the enlightened attitude adopted by great businesses in the United States in not allowing private considerations to prevent consummation of what The Times of London says is “a joint effort by the United States and the whole British Commonwee to promote a revival of world trade.’ (Members of Parliament were pleased with the economic benefits, but attached greatest importance to its political significance when, als some said, the two countries should be as close together as possible. Part of the British reaction was reflected in the fact. that an increase in commercial volume is going to be necessary. During the first nine months of this year British imports from all countries fell more than 51,000,000 pounds, while about 52,000,000 pounds compared with the same period in 1937. That total was about evenly balanced, but trade with the United States is another story. The three problems would be solved immediately by an accelerated flow of goods and services between the United States and Great Britain—general domestic business would be bettered: the “‘hard core’’ of around 2,00,000 unemployed would be shattered by a revival of export tndustries; and a possible loss to Germany of much of Britain’s 10,000,000 pound annual trade with Southwestern Europe would be compensated. The bulk of the dictator nations trade on a Virtual barter basis, with heavy subsidies, backing many key export industries. The British Government is trying to resist that trend in: the belief that it might compel adoption in Britain of dictator state trade methods and abandonment of the traditional trade policy. Every newspaper among the whole series of such journals representing all political views available here today speaks favorably of the pact. however, erty. much adding up of OUvADE . a anaene Curnow remarked: The onty exception is an altogether . NEVADA CITY’S SHARE IN XMAS CLUB IS $9,500 Merchants of Nevada City will share in a state wide outpouring of Christmas funds which will be released to’ memibers of the Bank of America Christmas Club throughout California on December 1. According to H. A. Curnow, manager of Bank of America here, approximately $12,000,000 will be distributed to Christmas savers at the 494 branches of the bank in 307 California communities. This is over 26 per cent more than last year, In Nevada City, the total distribution will be $9,500. to.183 .loeal. Christmas Club members. It is estimated that 70 per cent of the money saved in this type of account goes immediately into trade channels. The remainder is re-invested in savings and securities. Pointing to this year’s all time high mark for what is the largest Christmas Club in the United States, “There is every reason to feel that the coming Christmas will be California’s merriest in many years. Christmas Club savings represent one of the best aieahaiiaos guides to economic conditions.’ SANTA CLARA LOSES TO DETROIT TITANS Dr. and Mrs. Walter J. Hawkins and family, Frank G, Finnegan and John Cronin motored to Sacramento Sunday afternoon for the Santa Clara-Detroit football game which took place in the Sacramento Satdium. The game was a closely fought contest throughout, Santa Clara scoring a touchdown on a pass over the goal line early in the first quarter, but failing to convert. Detroit, taking advantage of a pass intended for one Detroit man but which popped out of his hands into the arms of another Titan in motion beside him, scored a touch down on a thirty yard run. The try for point was good and gave. Detroit a 7 to 6 victory over Santa Clara. It was an ideal day for football and a huge crowd witnessed the game. About 60 ‘Nevada City fans enjoyed the game, as a result of a ticket sale campaign made by Oscar Odegaard. CELEBRATES 80TH BIRTHDAY T. H.

These considerations have not prevented ages and counter-advantages on either side, though complaints are still to come from those particular British industries whose individual interests happen to be adversely affected. In this connection, cordial recognition is also accorded to the enlightened attitude adopted by great businesses in the United States in not allowing private considerations to prevent consummation of what The Times of London says is “a joint effort by the United States and the whole British Commonwee to promote a revival of world trade.’ (Members of Parliament were pleased with the economic benefits, but attached greatest importance to its political significance when, als some said, the two countries should be as close together as possible. Part of the British reaction was reflected in the fact. that an increase in commercial volume is going to be necessary. During the first nine months of this year British imports from all countries fell more than 51,000,000 pounds, while about 52,000,000 pounds compared with the same period in 1937. That total was about evenly balanced, but trade with the United States is another story. The three problems would be solved immediately by an accelerated flow of goods and services between the United States and Great Britain—general domestic business would be bettered: the “‘hard core’’ of around 2,00,000 unemployed would be shattered by a revival of export tndustries; and a possible loss to Germany of much of Britain’s 10,000,000 pound annual trade with Southwestern Europe would be compensated. The bulk of the dictator nations trade on a Virtual barter basis, with heavy subsidies, backing many key export industries. The British Government is trying to resist that trend in: the belief that it might compel adoption in Britain of dictator state trade methods and abandonment of the traditional trade policy. Every newspaper among the whole series of such journals representing all political views available here today speaks favorably of the pact. however, erty. much adding up of OUvADE . a anaene Curnow remarked: The onty exception is an altogether .
