CAL AND KELLOGG
BLESS RED HUNTS
OF PATRIO TIERS

That President Coolidge has blessed
the Red-baiting campaign of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
is the stateItent made by Mrs. Alfred
Brousseau, Iresident-general of that
organization in an open letter to Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait
The open letter Of Mrs. Brousseau
is a reply to Mrs. Cats criticism of
the d. A. R. pamphlet entitled "The
Common Enemy" in which Commun-
ism, socialism and liberalism are
Jumped together as world revolu-
tionary movement which proposes to
destroy civilization and christianity"
Mrs. Gait referred to the patrioteers
conducting the "red hunts" as inter
esting cases for psychologist.
Announcing that the D. A. r. would
continue its campaign against radical
and liberal organizations, Mrs. Brous-
seau says, eve have the approval of
too many leaders of thought in the
United States including President
Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg"

to the Italian Consul at Chambery

ton of 1861, on Mont Gents, near the
Franco-Italian frontier.

WORKER by Pat Devine.
Engdahl told of his visit to the So
Wet textile center at OzerX, to the
south Of Moscow, where the Russian
textile workers showed a great de-
sire to develop closer contacts with
the textile workers Of this country
He said they had been greatly in
terested by the Passaic textile strike.
Engdahl told how the Russian tex
tile industry was being developed
successfully by the workers them
selves, pointing out that this should
be an example and an inspiration to
the workers in all countries in their
struggles against their oppressors.

WILL FALL THRU
ECONOMIC SMASH

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Musso-
lini's regime may be cut to shreds
between the two blades of high prices
and low wages, according to reports
received by the department of COM
merce from its agents in various
parts of Italy. Snatches of these
dispatches, published in Commerce
Reports, reveal the hectic flush of
Italian prosperity against an ashen
background of the lowest wages and
highest prices in Europe.
italian labor, in fact, is the cheap
est skilled labor in the world, ac-
cording to a commercial attache who
reports that Italian shipbuilding firms
have taken contracts from under the
noses of British and japanese build
ers. AS result the Fascist regime
is building up large surplus of
commodities for export trade, the
workers at home being unable through
low pay to buy back more than
fraction Of what they have pro-
duced.
Fake Prosperity.
With Italian trade booming in the
Balkans and along the Mediterran-
can, department of commerce agents
report a prosperity built on heavy
credit advances from the United
States and on the forced no-strike
labor Of Italian workers. But from
anti-Fascist sources in Washington
even the claims of prosperity are de-
MED. Fiat Automobile Co. has re-
duced its working force from 1000
to 10000; cotton and wooden mills |
are working three days week; iron
trades and machine shop works have
cut their staffs by % per cent; more
than 80 per cent Of the printers are
out of work
Wages, according to the Interna-
tional Labor Office at Geneva, are
the lowest in Europe, being AZ per /,
cent of the British and 25 per cent |
of the American But prices are
higher than in the United States. Re I
cent wage cuts of 10 per cent have
brought more misery, despite the an
nounced cut in prices, which proved to
be paper reductions only.
Revolt Smouldering.
On the prime question, how long
before the Italian workers revolt,
anti-Fascists are uncertain. So com
plete has been the suppression of
civil rights that it is impossible to
guage dissatisfaction without being
on the spot, and so effective is the
Mussolini espionage system that
thousands have been sent to the
lonely islands off Sicily for fearing
to express their opinions, for further
ing Independent trade unions and
for taking part in strikes.

on the attitude of the Radicals is that
this critical situation of the old Left

among them the fact that the Parlia-

comedy which the French authorities
allow Daudet the leader of the Royal

condemned to six months imprison-
ment for libel defied the police by
entrenching himself behind wire en-
tanglements in the house of the "Ac-
ton Franchise" with several hundred
Royalists to defend him. That the
police project should finally have
come in person to conduct him in a
private car to the prison with the
promise OF every facility and a speedy
release for this non-political delin-
quent, while at the same time our

three anarchists have for the last
20 days been on hunger-strike to en-
force their release is highly-character-

Total Quake Victims
Number 1000; Arab
Towns Suffer Most

JERUSALEM, Palestine, July IA.
Compared with the last severe
earthquake of ninety years ago, when
Tiberias and Safed were destroyed
and 5000 persons persisted, Mondays
disaster in TRANSIT ordania and Pal
estine is greater, because it was more
widespread, although the actual loss
Of life is smaller.
The modernly-built towns, with
concrete structures, suffered compare
lively little, hence the casualties were
more or less confined to the primitive
Arab villages, where the tiny clay
huts were crumpled in the first shock,
burying the hapless occupants.
The Hebrew University in Jeru-
salem is among the greatest suffer-
ers, the destruction of the laboratories
and the resulting interruption of the
work of scientific research being con-
servatively appraised at loss Of
$4,000.
Avert Epidemic.
Scientists working in the labora-
tories were also trapped when the
doors slammed to. These men jumped
through the windows, hugging test
tubs filled with cholera. dysente,v
and typhoid bacteria, thus preventing
the deadly tubes from being smashed
and possibly averting an epidemic Of
disease.
Religious elifices suffered especi-
ally, a shocking thing in this predom-
inantly religious community. The
Dome of the Rock, the Chapel of the
Ascension, the Basilica in Bethlehem,
the Armenian Church in Jerusalem,
David's Tower and the Church Mis-
sionary Society School We're all badly
damaged.

on Tuesday on the charge of espion-

Drujelovsky's trial brought out evil
dence of his forgery of docurecEts

time of Senator Borah's campaign for
the recognition Of Soviet Russia,
which were instrumental in turning

HOW 1T STARTED
ny JEAN NEWTON.
House of Commons"

Though the Commons" or lower
House of Parliament. is now repre-
sentative enough and really in keep
ing with its name. tho story of its
origin and of it's early misnomcr sheds
light upon the hold which caste had
upon the minds of men in bygone
days.
AS early as 1854 In England,
knights were called from the shires to
the National Assembly to testify TO
the taxable capacity of their districts.
Two from each shire were chosen by
the gentry and land owners.
At first the custom had no purpose
except the desire of the taxing body
to keep in close financial touch with
the towns and districts. But soon
Simon de Montfort. in rebellion
against Henry Ill. turned 1t into
gathering To express and discuss
grievances against the King. In this
way. there grew up representative
assembly called the Commons,
which sat and debated apart from
the gathering of great mobiles and
bishops, called the House of Lords.
The difference. however, was no
more than relative. For in this early.
House of Commons there were mo-
common men in our modern concep-
ton of the term. They were all men
OF property. many as wealthy and
influential as the great peers, and,
indeed. frequently they were the sons
and younger brothers of these peers
The really common man in those days
had not even vote, to say nothing
of a seat in Parliament. And that
the name Commons" should have
been given to this gathering because
they were merely not the most i'm
portant mobiles of the realm, is an
interesting commentary on those
days.
