LEGION FAILS TO
BREAK UP LENIN
MEET AT CAPITAL
Object to Wicks' Attack
on Coolidge

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A con-
certed attempt on the part of the
American legion to break up the Len
in Memorial Meeting at the Playhouse
here met with complete failure after
stormy hour and half. The meet
ing, under the auspices of the Wash
ington section of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party, was scheduled for
eight o'clock. When the workers in
charge of the meeting arrived at the
hall they found group of police and
legionnaires.
AS soon as the main speaker, H. M.
Wicks of the editorial staff of The
DAILY WORKER mentioned Coolidge
in connection with his prosperity talk
in face of the widespread unemploy-
ment, the commander of the legion
sprang to his feet and demanded that
the speaker refrain from criticism of
"the President" Wicks told him
plainly that he would say anything
at any time that he desired to say in
criticism of Coolidge and the govern
ment of the United States and that
none Of the stripe of the interruptor
would interfere.

After demanding that the inter-
ruptor sit down Sor leave the hall,
Wicks then devoted most of his time
to an fierce excoriation of the Cool
idge administration and the actions
of the government in its attacks on
the unions, in it's China and Nicaragua
campaigns, its hypocritical peace talk
at Havana, its role at the Geneva arms
conference. On more than dozen oc-
casions different members of the le-
gion interrupted with questions and
frequently tried to deliver speeches
reviling the audience, calling them
rats and scum, and in general indnlg-
ing in provocative tactics. From the
platform Wicks insisted that none of
the audience permit himself to be
provoked.
In the midst of the disturbance

the furore bit. But soon after the
speech was resumed more deter
mined effort was made to stop the
meeting, the leader of the white-col-
Jared gangster who calls himself the

of the legion, tried to threaten Weeks
and told the speaker he was hence
forth a marked man." Wicks shot
back ~ him the remark that he had
been marked so many times by such
swine as the legion outfit that one
mark more or less was unimportant.
Up to that time the speaker had been
very cautious and permitted the dis
turbers considerable latitude, but as
the meeting drew to close he opened
up on them and defied any one of
them to attempt to start anything
further. One of them advanced to the
platform and tried to speak, but was
prevented from doing so. The audi
ence was told by the speaker that they
had right to use any means at hand
to defend themselves against such
creatures. When the meeting closed
the gangsters lowered about the door,

denunciation that they made no fur

was in favor of getting as close to nature

habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant

Hours of Slunber

Sleep becomes a vicious habit when
carried to excess, says DR.. I'll. NJ.
Johnson, "sleep expert" at the Uni
yersity Of Pittsburgh. Most people,
johnson believes, get sufficient rest
in the course of six and half to
nine hours to carry them through the
day and make. their work enjoyable.
Sleep is vicious, he said, when it in
terferes with more interesting actiy-
titles. Women are less restless than
men as a rule, he finds, and spend
more time in bed. Persons engaged
in mental activity during the day,
sleep less than persons engaged in
work that only feebly stimulates.

our Best People. l say that money is
quite commonly held to set one apart
from the common crowd. You know
exactly what / mean.
Why, certainly! To possess money
for which one has rendered real
service is good. But you will notice
that it is not the service rendered
which brands certain people Of wealth,
in their own eyes, and in the eyes of
those who look up to them, as superior
to the rest of us-it is the mere fact
that they do actually possess the coin.
How they got it or what they do with
il seems to have nothing to do with
the case.
Some wealthy people are, in truth,
salt of the earth. They spend mil
lions to make life more endurable for
the rest of us. But still, the brand
which distinguishes them is not that
they do good with their money but
that they have the millions to spend.
Indeed, the strangest, most ride
ulous, most humiliating phenomenon
about the possession of much money
is this: The less one does to gain it,
and the less one does with it for
others, the higher one seems to rank
among this brand of Best People.
Witness how those who have come
into possession of their fortunes with
no more personal effort than they ex-
pended in acquiring the color of their
eyes, look down from those topmost
heights Of gilded uselessness with
sneers of superiority upon those, who
by the magnitude of the service they
have rendered, by years of grilling
labor and personal sacrifice, or by the
sheer power of their genius and in
dustry, have earned their fortunes.
You and l know very well that a
person may possess great wealth and
be not one of the Best People but one
of the worst. Judas, for instance,
made more money out of certain
transaction than all the other dis
ciples together.
1t would seem that the test
should be not how much have you,
but where did you get it and what
use are you making of that which
you have? I'LL :.

jcct accords with telling here in re-
gard to the submarine warfare. In this
respect however, the difficulty is wholly
with France, which shows no disposition
to Elacken construction Of such weapons
which French opinion regards az al
mirably suited To Frances particular
needs.
1t is becoming increasingly recognized
here that behind all these questions OIL
comparative construction Is the larger
issue Of sea law, and Senator Borah's
resolution regarding the restatement
and rccOdiflcatiOn Of chat law before
the next naval armament conference
attracts much attention. It is pretty
generally admitted that experience in
the late war and the enormous COM
pliCations Of the problem OF contraband
in the modern world make revision
and rcstatcmcnt Of the law urgently
necessary.
Enlightened opinion here f. tending
to realize that the lesson Of the Great
War Is that freedom Of the seas, as UNI
dcr5tOOd in America, Is not inconsistent
With that security which is a necessary
key to British policy. Indeed in some
Informed quarters it Is now argued that
freedom and not supremacy is the best
guarantee Of British supremacy against
the perils Of modern warfare.
With recognition Of the fact that II
America chooses to build at any cost
sht can outbuild Great Britain. the idea
Of supremacy as the irreducible mini
mum Of British naval policy goes by the
board, and rcStatemcnt Of the sea law
Is seen to follow as necessary con-
sequence.
