\ GREAT EX.SENATOR TO HIS REWARD

Ioday's news report included the intelligence from Indianapolis that former Senator Albert J. Beveridge had passed 10 his reward.
 He was man of high attain ments. Of national reputation; he was an example Of the scholar in politics, an orator of consuming rir- ! tUosity, q writer and publicist Of distinction.
 He was among the earliest Of public men who held that all pub lie officials, including senators, should be elected by popular vote.
 Yet 10 him came the curious ex- perionce that Of the two times he became a m ember of the Senate he was appointed by the Indiana lecis- lature. and the two times he was defeated came after senators were elected by popular vote.
 Beveridge was one of the stanch- est supporters of Theodore Roose- welt when the rough rider bolted the Republican party; he became temporary chairman Of the follow ing Bull Moose convention and help
 cd to lay down the principles Of this party. Later. when the Bull
 Moose had run it's course, Beveridec returned 10 the Republican fold. but remained q progressive. His most spectacular victory was at the primaries in 1922, when he wrested the senatorial nomination from Senator Harry A. New only to lose the office 10 the Democrat. Samuel NJ. Ralston.
 Beveridge's highest contribution to literature will be his rnonumen- tai Life of John Marshall" in which that illustrious member of the T.. s. Supreme Court is identified with the most epoch making de- cisions ot that august tribunal. The biography is not only comprn- dum of John Marshall's life, but an able analysis Of the courts decisions as we'll
 During the war Beveridee wrote q book, What is Back of the War" which was barred from many li- brarics and training camps. He was not jailed for the offense, however. If anything. the book indicated his pcnchant for independent judgment. regardless Of whether the judgment was right or wrong. Unfortunately his Life of Abraham Lincoln" which was 10 be as monumental Q work ae the John Marshall volumes, was only half finished at his death.
 Tn days past Beveridge as q writ or attained a wide audience as frequent contributor 10 the Sa'ur- day Evening Post; indeed, that eekly went out Of It's way 70 help him in his political career. The pro- gressive ideals O Beyeridce, . cnunciatad with word and pen for q generation. have become part Of the common property. He left his subtle impress upon the public mind in spite of his frequent dtii- cultiss in oflCe-sec king.

Airplane builders aspiring 10 pro- duce planes capable ot making long on-stop flights are faced with a terrific problem: they must be able to keep their machines as light as possible. with the greatest possible power, The problem so far seems 10 have been but partly solved: the power has been achieved, but the weight Of these machines has been greatly increased.
 While these experiments are be- ing conducted, many O. them, like the plated overseas flight for a s25p00 prize, having the color of sporting events, valuable lives are lost.

OUR WORST FLOOD: NEED FOR RELIEF

Daily the area of devastation along the Mississippi valley in ereases. The father of waters" " steadily rising, consistently over flowing its banks. smashing levees and inundanns towns. is in grim uumor Nothing can stop the over pholmins sweep ot the waters; de t.nseless humanity. caught in the raaelstrom. finds itselt bcr"ft Of homes and comfort; 10 many the future is q blank, a new beginning with nothing to start with. Thou sands have been drowned.
 The Mississippi and its tributaries have been known to inundate vast acres of mans habitation before this. but never. it is said, have the waters been as high, nor has as much land been covered by the raging torrents.
 It is a time when the paramount necessity is aid. The Red Cross, fill cd with the zeal 10 succor stricken fellow citizens. Is upon the scene and is faced with perhaps the greatest emergency of peace times. It is seriously handicapped by the lack Of funds, which must come quickly if maximum Of good is to be achieved.
 There seems 10 be a rcmarka hle sIoWness in contributing 10 the Red Cross in some of our cities. New Britain mas been among the number where the first response was far below expectations. We have no doubt however, that the city's quota will be attained. and that quickly after the dire need becomes in creasincly apparent.
 Basically, the support Of the Red Cross in such an emergency should be a governmental! function. If Congress were in session q substan tial sum would be voted for flood relief in short order; but Congress is not in session. and the relief fund Must come from citizens who are
  able and willing to assist the most important cause facing the nation ut the moment. Speed is the essence of the emergency; when Congress meets again. with the memory of this vast flood in the background. Fl better plan might be evolved to have the nation stand by the Red Cross through the government. Everyone would favor the setting aside Of q fund by the government or this purpose.
 For nearly q week the public has hoped 10 read that the crest Of the flood has been reached, They have been disappointed daily; now it may be necessary to blast leve"s and dykes 10 swerFc the river from at ,ackins New Orleans, thereby at 'he same time flooding other vast rich regions which might he spared Y the flooded waters rise no high er. Tn this emergency inc greatest good for the eroatest number must he the prevailing axiom, and the citizens whose property is destroy cd in order 10 save the more Nalu- able property or others doubtless are entitled 10 colupensation from the government later.
 The main necessity at this time is 70 make if possible for the Red Cross 10 function at maximum capacity In this endoayor everyone ron help.

Letters From Our Readers

Editor. The Daily Worker:
believe that the big farce Of the
year was the Conference on youth
and the War System" held last Sat
urday at the Labor Temple. Not one
speaker was invited by this "open
minded" society to present the Marx
lst point of view on this question. In
stead of that an evangelist, who APP
peared to be neither a worker nor the
son of a worker told the audience "to
forget all about the class struggle and
capitalism, but remember God, say
peace be unto you and there will be
no more war;.
An elderly lady who represented
another humanitarian organization
also urged the audience to 'forget
the struggle" and remember that 1--WE
arc all brothers, as a means to
avoid future wars.
Still another fellow, named Christ
Jensen, who was once a candidate for
president on the Farmer-Labor ticket,
said that Esperanto was the only way
to end war. After few more speak
ers fed the audience with similar
trash, the chairman announced that
those who wished to take part in the
discussion could do so, but said he
would not tolerate any mention of
Communism or class war" and also
declared that youth and War" was
the subject of the symposium. A
storm of protest came Immediately
from the audience and the chairman
yielded.
A few young Communists, including
myself, then took the floor and ex-
exposed this "ideal of Christianity.
We pointed out that Rockefeller who
is responsible for the loss of 1000
lives at Marking, has contributed
100000 to the Y. M. c. A., which is
poisoning the minds of young work
ers. One speaker told the audience
why England, a Christian" nation,
is trying to make war on Soviet
Russia, while Soviet Russia, an
atheist" nation, is preventing war.
These so-called peace societies only
becloud the minds of the young work
ers so that when war comes they will
be fooled by nice phrases.
Fraternally yours,-S. Magidson,
