THE BLUE MENACE

There is . blue menace in Amer lea. but it has nothing in common with the "blues'' played by jazz bands. It k the mischievous spirit of interference and intolerance, ac- tive and arrogant. This spirit has its aim to suppress anything 1t doesn't like. relying upon propa- ganda under the guise of morality and patriotism. It dislikes intelli- gent opinion, hates dissenters, and would force the entire citizenship into a standardized mould to con- form with its own conception of what is right One good way to con- bat 1t is to strongly dissent with the professional propagandists on gen. eral principles: and to be as inde- pendent in thought and action as the common rights of man would die. tate.

CHICAGO AND UNEMPLOYED

Occasionally Chicago sprouts a good idea- Such things may be diff cult in that city under present-day circumstances. but accidents some- times happen. A news item from the windy city has stated that the po- lice recenly adopted the plan of aid ing the unemployed by reporting opportunities to central head quarters. The police. through the nature of the employment reach all sections of the city and are in an admirable poEition to note where work needs are apparent. Through their effort in few weeks several thousands of young men have been placed in positions. 1dlenes and its opportunities for wrongdoing. there- fore. have been turned into produc- tive employment. The campaign really is one against possibilities of evil. as nothing stimulates wrong doing so much as unemployment.

EXlLEs IN RUSSIA

Exiled to the Chinese frontier in Turkestan. according to some re- ports. or to verna in Middle Asia according to others, Leon Trotsky, former head of the Red army. has eaten of the fruits of soviet bureau cracy. His offense was that he did not agree with the prevailing mo- ,ions Of J. V. Stalin, now the boss of Russia, the head of the com munist state. The rule of the pro- letariat does not brook a diversity of opinion. To be one of the circle run ming things one must be lon the committee;' and if not, then in exile.
 During the last decade there have been remarkable substitutions in the higher ranks Of the soviet hierarchy. Sverdiov. Volodarsky and Uritsky, three active leaders in the early days of the revolution. did not live long to see the dire fruits of the adven- ture to which they had devoted their efforts. Their careers were ended by assassinations. Before Lenin, the flaming torch of the revolution, died in 1924 he suffered the fate of a paralytic. Vorovsky. propagandist and first soviet representative in Italy. was assassinated in Switzer- land. in 1928. Krassin succumbed while soviet envoy to England. Dzerzhinsky, chief of the secret -po- lice. the Cheka. executioner of op- ponents, died suddenly and mysteri- ously in 1926. Voikov, who signed the the death warrant of Czar Nicholas and his family, himself was assassinated in Warsaw, in 1927, felled by an exiled Russian youth. Zinoviev, able propagandist, but penitent for disputing with stalin, was sent to Volvgda. Kamenev, who disputed doctrine with Stalin, was sent to Penza. in central Russia, also this week. Both of these penitents have been given jobs in the state education department. to remain in exile, however, until 1t is certain they have sufficiently changed their views. Rakovsky, former envoy to France. and Karl Radek, able but independent journalist. were both sent to a region near Archangel, there to repent at leisure.
 One wonders how long it will take until stalin, Bucharin. and Rykov, the present triumyirate in control in Moscow, 60 the same way. For exile in Russia has from time im- memorable been the favorite method of dispensing with dssenters. The cxars started the custom, and as the land is big. there is plenty of room for exiling purposes. Perhaps some remote and consistently cold town in Siberia or Archangel eventually will become the residence of the present ''rulers." That Is. if nothing worse happens.
