h
fake dispatch to the effect that
new evidence derogatory to Sacco and
Vanzetti has been placed in the hands
of Governor Fuller. We may expect
many stunts of this kind to be pulled
between now and the date set for the
execution, unless the governor par
dons the victims, in the meantime.
The most important business before
the American workingclass now is to
save Sacco and Vanzetti. The wave
of protest that has already swept the
world should assume tidal wave pro-
portions and compel the murderous
crew that would strangle two inno-
cent workers in the electric chair to
scale the mountain of oblivion for
safety.
WE hope there is some truth in the
" report that Judge Thayer is off
his bean. Again we don't. Thayer
might be favored with delusion that
he had saved the country from
humiliation by helping to send two
innocent men to their doom and thus
kid himself into happiness. We
would like to seesthe labor movement
made an example of Thayer by fore
ing him from the judicial bench and
sending him back to retirement.
otto KAHN, the versatile banker
v does not spend all his time fl
nancing little and big theatres and
encouraging hopeful artists with a
mission. He does little travelling
on the side. Otto likes Mussolini but
that fact does not prevent him from
liking Mustapha Renal Pasha of
Turkey who is as fond of Mussolini
as a mouse is of cat.
IN his role # art lover Kahn may
cast admirihg eyes on the mosques
Of Constantinople care they art p but
in his role of banker listen to Otto: 81
am impressed with the energy, deter
mination and vision of the new
Turkey and wish that America would
begin to exercise the traditional role
of active sympathiser with a nation
endeavoring to realize democratic
ideals. Justice of the new laws
warrants the influx of American capt.
tall" But, then if Otto did not do a
job of work now and then our young
playwrights might spank him.
TN all probability the two courageous
French filters who tried to make the
nonstop hop from Paris to New
York have paid the price of their
daring with their lives. Mussolini
will rejoice, since victory for the
Frenchmen would dwarf the accom-
plishment of the fascist Pinedo who
has been busy writing fascist ad-
vertisements in the American sky
And Arthur Brisbane may now sleep
q little more comfortably since the
danger of thousands of European
airplanes flying over our heads and
holding us for ransom 1--WE are so
Internally rich, you know is obviated
for the moment.
THE vatican is not interested in the
! candidacy of Governor AL Smith,
and this official statement will be be-
lieved by about one half of one per
cent of the population of the United
States. The pope will keep his hands
off the next presidential election but
his excellent machine functioning thru
the churches, parochial schools,
Knights of Columbus and scores of
religious societies will save his holt
ness the trouble Of leaving his palace
on the Tiber to awaken the angry
XXX. tiger in America.
THE United States will have peace
in Nicaragua even it has to fight
for it. We are told that rear-admiral
Latimer has taken steps to disarm
conservative and liberal alike. This
is funny. Coolidge sent Stimson down
There to make peace and he did the
@rick. Stimson told the liberals that
" they did not stop lighting ne
would blow them into smithereens.
Being blown into smithereens even for
a worthy cause is not the most SEN
sible solution of situation that can
not be solved by force. So the liberals
threw up their hands. The conserv-
atives, beaten in Nicaragua, won in
Washington.
CELF determination goes marching
y on. The fourteen points Of Wood
row Wilson's war aims are now four
teen daggers in the hands Of Wall
Street and those daggers are pointed
at the hearts of weak peoples whose
wealth is coveted by our imperialists.
What the United States is doing in
Nicaragua is exactly what Great
Britain would like to do in China, but
