Publisher Bears Message of
Good Will to Britain.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Daily
Express announcing the arrival of
Robert P. Scripps in London says
few Americans have deeper insight
into the attitude of America toward
Britain and lauds the friendly
Anglo American relations main
tanned by the Scripps- Howard news
papers. The Daily Express quotes
Scripps as follows:
II do not think there is any dis
trust in the United States of British
policy. In any event, the press is
not viewing it distrustfully. I have
not been in the United States since
the collapse of the disarmament
conference, but I have not been in
formed that there is any excitement
about it. 1t is obvious that America
and Britain are the economic lead
ers of the world and there is every
reason for cooperation between
them"
Referring to the American press
Scripps said: People are demand
ing more accuracy in the news. ]
do not mean to say they are not in
terested in tie latest murder, but
they do not want over emphasis on
chine news. People are asking more
facts and less opinions from their
newspaperS."

ization Of the right social democrats,
under the gracious patronage of the
reformist leaders Of the Norwegian
trade unions. The other congress pub
hshed protest against the non-ad-
mission Of the revolutionary dele
gates to the Tranmaelite-soc cial-demo-
cratic congress and worked cut a pro-
gram of action for the struggle for
the everyday needs Of the Norwegian
working class. Besides this, this con-
gress of revolutionary organizations
set up party, which, on the basis Of
the resolute class struggle, united in
its ranks all the Communist and re-
volutionary elements in the working
class. This party was called "the Par
ty of working class cohesion" Elias
Volan, Communist and prominent
trade-uniOn worker, and chairman Of
the Norwegian Builders Unien, was
elected chairman of the party at the
congress.
Thus, instead Of the three parties
which existed up to the present in
Norway, there are now two. The
Tranmaelites, who turned down all
the Communist attempts to create a
real fighting unity among the Nor
wegian proletariat for the struggle
with the bOuFgeoisie. must be held re-
sponsible for the continuation of dis
ruption. Moreover, a threat of dis
ruption in the Norwegian trade union
movement is also created by the open
adherence Of the leaders of the Nor
wegian trade Union leaders to the new
reformist party.
The Communists. true advocates of
trade-union unity, have made the re-
alzation Of unity both on a national
and on an international scale, the cor
ner-stone Of their work. At the con-
gress, where the foundations for the
creation of new revolutionary party
in Norway was laid ("the Party of
Working Class Cohesion"), it was de-
cided to set up also a Norwegian
Finnish Soviet Committee of trade
union unity. This committee will set
itself the task of carrying out the
struggle for international unity of the
trade union movement, and for the
closer unity between the workers in
the Scandinavian countries and the
workers OF the U. S. S. R.-HALSEN.

Dewey Assails Super
Patriots as Meeting
Raps School Ousting

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-John
Dewey, professor of philosophy at
Columbia University, assailed super
patriots for attempting to stamp out
free speech in American schools and
colleges at meeting called to pro-
test against the dismissal of two pro-
fessors at the West Chester State
Normal School for alleged radicalism.
II have read and heard much lit
erature from the headquarters Of our
appropriations, said Profess r
Dewey, "they are greatly concerned
about persons who are boring from
within and weakening our institu-
tons. 1t seems to me. however, that
if there is anybody who is likely to
leave our institutions nothing but a
hollow shell, il is the persons who
are afraid to permit freedom of
speech--not those labelled Bolshe-
listic and seditious."
The two ousted teachers, DR.. Ker-
lin and Kinneman, and Morris Ernst,
New York lawyer. were among the
other speakers. The meeting was
held under the auspices Of the Civil
Liberties Union.

Protest Propaganda
ByFasCist Embassy

Charging the Italian ambassador
in the United States with carrying
on open pro-Fascist propaganda, 1000
Italians packed Cooper Union Sun
day TO protest against the spread Of
the Fascist terror to this country.
Professor Gaetano Salvemini, for
merly Of the University of Florence,
DIR. Charles Fama and Carlo Tresca
were among the speakers.
A resolution protesting against the
Fascist ambassadors activities was
sent to Secretary of State Kellogg.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the Italian Ambassador
to the United States Of America, about
two weeks ago, at a banquet Of the
Italian Chamber of Commerce of New
York City, voiced an appeal to the
Italian people in America, stating
among other things:
az appeal to the American citizens
of Italian extraction to aid me in
fighting the Italian renegades in this
country who are actively opposing
Faseism, to take the necessary steps
to eradicate this menace for the sake
of Italy, its government and its noble
traditions
And whereas such propaganda and
such sentiments invariably tend TO in
cite class warfare and resultant vio-
lence.
ave, therefore, unanimously resolve
that the Secretary Of State take cog
nizance of this dangerous movement
and take such precautions as are COM
mensurate with the honor and repu-
tation Of this, our beloved country of
adoption"
Says Europe On Decline.
Economically, politically and eul-
turally western Europe is on the
decline, according to Louis Fischer,

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The

vested interests of foreigners versus
the reform program of a backward
people," declared Professor J. Fred
Rippy of Duke University, well-known
authority on Mexico, yesterday at the
annual meeting of the American Aca-
denny of Political and Social Science.
Declaring that any attempt to
coerce Mexico would be both useless
and costly, Professor Rippy made a
plea for arbitration of the differences
between the United States and Mexi-
co as more in accord with our ma
tional ideals" and procedure (which
may prove just as profitable in the
end"
Withdrawal of recognition and the
lifting of the arms embargo would
probably be more destructive to "our
interests" than the oil and land laws,
