 The foreign communists seem to be hay concern ing the parts operation of the machinery of the American government They have also been taught in vain by history. futility of terrorizaton If they could only make it succeed. they would have established a shortcut anarchy.
 If we knew the circumstances of the crime of Sacco and venzett the two condemned to die, we have forgotten them. We have not heard that foreign communists profess their innocence claim they not accorded the generous rights and privileges which American courts generally tend to persons charged with murder. No extenuat- ing circumstances set There is only demand that their lives be spared-because they are munists, fact of which, of course. the court could have taken notice at their trial which they convicted of murder sentenced the chair, where they will sit at last.
