CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. IA
Rose Kohn, member of the Young
Communist League, and Communist
candidate for councilman in the re-
cent elections, has been sentenced
to e years probation by the vicious
" labor-hating judge Sewicki. The
sentence arises from Kohn's arrest
for speaking at Communist out
door meeting on August 26. The
charge was disorderly conduct.
The trial first came UP in Septem-
Der and the case turned over to the
Probation Department for investiga-
ton. On October l the case was
again put off.
Sewicki gave full play to his
spleen against militant workers
when he burst out with the state
ment that "Rose is a wild, erratic
girl, a misguided fool" He indi-
Gated that he thought the sentence
would tame the wild Communist"
and check further League activity.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA. -
Forty pickets arrested at the Raab
shop Monday have been discharged.
Defying the reign of terror jointly
carried out by the bosses, police and
reactionary Socialist" right wing
officialdom of the needle trades, the
Needle Trades Industrial Workers
Union again staged a mass picket
demonstration at the Raab Dress
Shop, where the workers have been
striking under the leadership of the
Industrial Union for six weeks.
The latest picket demonstration,
coming after repeated attacks by
thugs and police on the workers OF
the Raab shop, proved that no ter
ror will brighten the militant needle
trades workers in their fight for
better conditions.
In last Mondays demonstration,
sixty workers were arrested and
sentenced to five days in prison.
This time over 100 workers rallied
to the picket line, determined to re-
sist the united front Of the police,
bosses, Socialists" plug-uglies, and
A. F. of L. officialdom.
With the sixth week of the strike
enthusiasm and militancy have risen
higher than ever among the strik-
ers.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ID. A
meeting of working women in the
headquarters of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, called by
the women's section Of the Union,
pledged it's support of the strikers
at the Raab shop, and its aid in the

BERLIN, Nov. 14.-Today's issue
of the Communist paper, "Rote
Fahne," publishes the text of a Sc
cret letter sent by the German am
bassador in Moscow, Herr Vondirk-
sen, advising the German Govern
ment not to participate in the anti

German peasants, now widely being
advertised in the imperialist press
as trying in great throngs to "es-
cape from the Soviet Union"
The ambassador tells his govern
ment that these "discontented"
peasants are part of the richer sec
tions of the German peasantry IN
the Soviet Union, the great major
ity of whom are satisfied with the
Soviet regime and willingly partici-
pate in the collectivization of agri-
culture.
Thus the bottom is knocked out
Of the slanderous campaign OF the
socialists as to the supposed peas

CENSORSHIP OF RADIO M MOTION

BY JAMES BECK, Congressman From Philadelphia.
Games Montgomery Beck was born in Phila-
delphia, July 8, 1861. He is a graduate of Mora
Wan college and holds several honorary degrees.
Admitted to the bar in 1884, he practiced law in
New York City from 1908 until 1921. after serving
as assistant attorney general for three years. He
was named solicitor general of the United States
in 1921 and resigned four years later to resume
his law practice in New York and Washington.
He was elected to congress in 1927. He is a mem
Der of several scientific societies. foreign orders
and the author of several political science books.
Censorship Of radio or motion pictures before ut
terance is as damaging to the American form of de-
mocracy as censorship of the press itself would be.
Liberty is generally achieved by great convulsive
upheavals, while its impairment is generally subter-
ranean and insidious. No thief in the night moves
SO silently as oppression.
So far as the freedom of thought is concerned,
what possible difference can it make whether thought
is conveyed by the press, or by sound waves, or pic
lures? In each case, what is shackled is the human
mind and, if the ideals of liberty mean anything, one
form of tyranny is as indefensible as another. No
medium of expression has the right to subvert morals
or advocate treason, but existing law is ample to pro-
tect the public in these fields.
Within the life of all of us here assembled, two
new media of expression have come into existence.
which may prove more important in the de-
velopment of the human mind than even the print
ing press. We live too close to them to appreciate
their infinite potentialties. These two media are the
greatest gifts in their potential usefulness that have
been made in the lifetime Of anyone now present.
hav ventured to say all this because I am deeply
impressed with the beneficial results to democracy OF
both these new-found forms of expression. Popular
institutions are only possible when there Is an edu-
Gated electorate ard, unfortunately, the common
school system only leads the boy or girl to the
threshold of governmental problems. If, thereafter,
there is no continuous study Of governmental prob
lens, it is difficult to see how there can be an edu-
Gated vote.
If We devote our energies, not to Stacking these
new forms Of activity, but TO utilize them for the
welfare Of humanity, I can see a method Of popular
education which promises much for the future of
democratic institutions. In utilizing these beneficent
gifts to mankind. let us remember that the ideals of
the fathers, for the freedom Of speech and the free
dom Of the press, which are guaranteed by the con-
stitution, are, in the last analysis, the freedom Of
thought itself, and we must not emancipate one form
of thought only to put the shackleS of governmental
oppression on another.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising REPRESENTATIVES


Senator Simeon D. Tess Of Ohio, widely known
as one o the favorite orators and champions Of the
Anti-Saloon league program, has presented the name
Of Newton D. Baker Of Cleveland to the president
for member of the commission to make { study of
law enforcement and court procedure.
Newton D. Baker was secretary Of war IN the
woodrow Wilson cabinet. Are democrats to be rec
ognized in the naming of the commisSion2
Attorney General William D. Mitchell is a demo-
crat. He is to be the head Of the pro enforcement
department Of the government when the time comes
to transfer the program from the treasury depart
ment to the department Of justice. This transfer will
relieve Andrew W. Mellon Of a lot Of worry and a
never loses his head, he knows how to control his
tongue, he knows the value of brain work instead of
CAB work, but he is nearing his 18th milepost and
isn't as agile on his feet as in the days Of yore.
Mitchell fought what was known as the progress
sive wing of the democratic party in the state Of MIN
uesota and gave aid and comfort to the regular re-
publican organization, still calling himself a demo-
crat. He received his reward. Charles Francis
Adams of the Hoover cabinet is another democrat
who remained in the traces or years. Organism drove
him out Of the party. AS secretary Of the navy a
private yacht was at its disposal. He ordered the sale
of the craft, declaring that q secretary of the navy
did not need a government owned yacht.
Charles Francis Adams has his private yacht. He
is a scholar in politics. a man Of wealth, as demo-
cratic as an old shoe, and when at home he chops
his own firewood.

A DISAPPOINTING LEGISLATURE
Beaumont Enterprise).

D~~0~
The Forty-first Texas legislature was in many re-
spects a disappointment. It is easy to find fault with
any legislative body, whether a state legislature or
congress, because our system of lawmaking is tedious,
cumbersome and complex. 1t is often very ineffec-
tive. But there is Justification for the people Of
Texas to wish that their legislature, in the session
that ended Thursday, had shown greater unity Of
purpose and had been more responsive to what ap-
pears to be the public will.
For some reason, not quite clear. the legislature
was unwilling to accept Governor Moodys advice. All
through the session the fight on the governors legis-
lative program continued. The result was that his
program, in it's major provisions. was defeated, al
though little personal hostility against the governor
developed during the prolonged w~rangling. The vote
in some instances was close, thus showing that the
governors proposals had strong support, but in the
end none of the more important bills in which he
was interested got through the legislature.
Concentration and relocation Of the states prison
system is still a piece Of unfinished business. The
states prison system, for humane and economic rea-
sons, should be reorganized. But Texas must wait
a while longer.
High hopes we're entertained that the modified
Sterling plan, providing for a statewide bond issue
of s175.O 600. 900 to build highways, would be enacted.
Those hopes were not realized. The legislature re-
fused to submit to the people an amndmnt that
would enable the state to issue the bonds. Did the
legislature, by this action, represent the will Of the
people or simply the will of its too-conservative men,
bers who are afraid to indorse a large bond issue for
public improvements?
Civil service reform, regulation Of public utilities
and other measures failed of enactment. The legis-
lature spent much time in debating the more impor-
tant bills, but the sum Of its labors is a mass of
local laws, many Of them Of no interest to the state
at large. The Quinn seawall bill is one Of the few
local measures passed by the legislature that may
benefit other parts of Texas than the precinct imne-
diately affected.
The legislators will have a short rest and then they
will be called back to Austin by Governor Moody. 1t
is to be hoped that the legislature in the extra ses-
sion Will make a better showing, and will be more

Betty squeezed his hand under

until the waiter came with the next
course.

next time they danced. She was

Star Lore
Semi Annual Shift Of Night Skies

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
The stars overhead at night in
winter. are overhead in the day
time in summer. Explanation: If
a star rises today with the sun.
tomorrow it will rise four minutes
earlier than the sun; the next
morning eight minutes earlier,
gaining four minutes daily on >the
sun. In a month the star will have
gained on the sunrise 80 times four
minutes. which is two hours. In
six months the stars shift six times
two hours, or II hours, setting at
the same hour of the morning they
had risen six months before. And
so an entirely different night sky
in summer.
