THE RED RAID.

Commenting ON the recent ac-
tiyities of the American govern
ment against the reyolutionist
element in the United States the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram says
"The rounding mp Of nearly
5000 Reds in various parts oil the
country, constituting as it does
the largest raid Of its kind in the
history Of the United States, is
eloquent testimony Of the Fact
that the department Of justice has
been on the job constantly IN con
nection with radical agitation OF
this sort, and that the govern
ment is determined to suppress
this activity with all the power at
its command. William } Flynn
chief Of the bureau OF nVestiga- |
ton of the department, expresses |
the opinion that the backbone Of
the radical revolutionary move |
ment in this country has been
broken as a result OF this nation
wide raid. According to officials,
there is evidence that the move
ment has been directed by agents
Of the Russian soviet government.
I'm any event it is planned to send !
another Red Ark" loaded with
Russian radicals back to that
country as further notice that
their activities win not be per
mitted IN The United States. II
is to be hoped that the program
will be carried out rigidly and
that the department will not re-
lax its efforts to suppress such
activities entirely.
Meantime, it is significant
that Texas and the southwest
seem to be entirely free from this
movement. Indeed, it IS notable
that the arrests were made chiefly
in centers where a large percent !
age Of the population is of for
eign-born. This serves to EN-
phasize the foreign character of
The doctrine with which the brains
Of these radicals are inflamed. We ]
have TO deal with extreme radi- {
ealism among native-born Ameri-
cans only to the extent that they
have been affected by this foreign
propaganda 1t is for this reason
that deportation is the most ef-
fectivc weapon with which to
fight this movement, and strict
immigration laws the best safe g
guard against it.

AMERICA STANDS STILL.

In the year that has passed
since the arnistice congress has
not completed single plank IN
the platform Of reconstruction. 1t
has done nothing to enable Amer
lea to meet the changed face of
the world.
More than this, it is not even
repairing the old planks as they
wear out. The personnel Of the
army and the navy is rapidly
melting away, owing to made
quate pay for officers and men,
and congress the other day fur
nished another example Of its Mig
gardliness Of refusing to appro-
pirate $15,O0O,00O in the urgent
deficiency bill for the construc-
tion Of new airplanes.
Thus the three arms Of defense
are withering.
The native land Of the Wright
brothers refuse a pittance to give
their invention a position worth

the next war the airplane will
