SADIE against the first workers state.
At home the social democracy as
sists capitalism in carrying out its
naturalization and placing bonds
upon the working class. Because of
this we are able to observe the pro-
gressive process in which the work
ing masses leave the social democ-
racy and, because of a strengthen
ing process of rehabilitation amongst
the masses of the workers swing to-
wards the Communist international.
The Communist International is the
only representative of Warxism and
the only power which is capable of
leading the proletariat in its strug-
gle for the overthrow of CO. talism.
The Communist International was
born in the struggle against the re-
formist social democracy. The Com
munist Parties in the capitalist coun-
tries grew and strengthened in the
struggle against the social demo-
crazy. In the fire of this struggle
the Communist Parties have become
the mass Parties of the revolutionary
proletariat, united in one Communist
World Party.
! The Communist International did
not only grow and become strength
ened in the struggle against the So
cial democracy, but it grew and
developed also in the struggle
against vacillations and confusion
in it's own ranks, in the struggle
against Right wing deviations, i. e.
deviations towards open opportun-
ism, and against Left wing devil
ations, i. e. towards opportunism I'M

The history of the internal develop
ment of the Communist Interna-
tional during the last ten years, is
the history of the liquidation OF
deviations and of Cancellation to-
wards them in it's own ranks.
The last ten years have shown
that the systematic struggle against
these deviations and, above all,
against the Right wing deviation as
the chief danger of the present
period, is the indispensable method
of Bolshevizing the Communist Par.
ties.
Without this Bolshevization the
Parties would be unable to cleanse

Bureau Will Check
Youthful Criminals

From the San Antonio Evening News,
Crime Prevention Bureau of the New
York Police Department-lately estab-
lished-will be devoted to the activities
which its title suggests. among the city's
boys and girls. Workers skilled IN han
ding Juvenile problems will strive to
save the young people from mischief by
keeping them busy. These officers and
the patrolmen on beats will take the
names Of juveniles found loafing on the
streets, in pool halls or questionable re-
sorts, or in bad company. The names
will be sent to social service organiza-
tons that are to cooperate with the
bureau in providing useful employment
and a healthful environment for chill
dren who are in the way of becoming
delinquent.
This scheme was suggested by the re-
cent conference on Juvenile crime pre-
vention, to which Police Commissioner
Whalen appealed for advice. Obviously,
the method is better than waiting until
the boy or girl is In Juvenile Court be-
fore applying corrective measures. Mean
while the child's character may have
suffered serious, II not irreparable dam
age. Heretofore, police contact with the
city's youngsters generally has begun
after they have got into mischief. Start
ing with them before - more pleasant
all around and far mGke effective.

School Buses and Portables.

In discussing the school situation with
citizens groups Representative Simmons
has answered their questions concerning
the use of portable schools with the
statement that we will have them here
in washington as long as there Is
progressive building. To large extent
that is perfectly true. The portable
school meets a definite requirement on
the part of communities not large
enough to warrant the construction of
a permanent. building and too far from
permanent buildings to make them ac-
cessible to the children. They are also.
used to augment the facilities offered
by permanent groups of buildings, when
the communities surrounding such
groups have grown and overcrowding
has Resulted. "a
DR.. Ballou, however, has informally
suggested to the Board of Education
an alternative proposal that might elm
mate the use of portable schools in out
lying sections. Discussing petition from
the East Washington Heights Citizens
Association for the provision of a port
able school to take care of the children
in the small community Of Bradbury
Heights, DR.. Ballou mentioned the lack
Of sewerage in that section and sug-
gested that it might be more feasible
to provide these children with a bus
that would transport them to and from
one Of the permanent school buildings
Later he developed this thought with
the proposal that other outlying COM
munities, which now are provided with
about one-third Of the city's portable
schools, might be benefited by school
bus service that would transport chill
dren to permanent school centers.
The school system is making increas-
ing use of buses to carry tuberculous
and crippled children to and from spe-
cial schools. Rural communities long
since have established school bus routes
that collect children from their homes
and take them to school. Why not
initiate such a bus service for city chill
dren, instead of forcing them, as now.
to spend the greater part of the day IL
temporary buildings, which are poorly
lighted, poorly heated, poorly ventilated
and possibly dangerous? DR.. Ballcu's
suggestion, informally placed before the
board, is worthy of some careful study
1t might solve the problem that has
been so inadequately solved by the use
of portable schools.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

II ambition is good, then we must
admit that there Is some good to this
citizen. Surely there is much good to
him. No one who has seen him in
would want to. What strikes one as
curious is the egotism of the creature.
Some men in this. group merely gloat
over what they have accomplished
themselves. but most find 1t expedient
to run down. others at the same time
Praise them about something, they
| not only admit it, but they go on to
knock" competitors, or those who by
some excellence or other impress them
as possible rivals.
It usually will be discovered that
these men, like sharp-eyed animals
sense what they do not see.
They regard contrary ways Of acting
and talking as rebukeS and feel in the
marrow of their bones that the quicker
they are rid of such structures the bet
ter for them.
Civilization, however, luckily has i'm
posed bounds to their actions. The only
way they can "get back" at others Is to
pan" them in words.
Hence, they commonly never admin
lister self-praise without adding mix
ture of derogation of others.
Sometimes they do this heavily, lay
ing 1t on with a thick hand; at others
they achieve like results delicately, for
there are as many methods in this sort
of work as in any other.
The subtle method whereby victim
is made to feel as worm in the dust,
overt phrase, is used only by masters
of the craft.
Joseph Addison, who damned with
faint praise" according to Alexander
Pope, may have been such q master.

We come now to those kindly ones
who not only tend, when they are
praised for anything. to deprecate their
only good deeds, thoughts, works, but
to praise the other fellow, as If en-
barrassed over praise OF themselves.
It must be admitted that often this
is carried too far. What is the use of
DENYING something which one must
know is good as well as every one else
knows it is good?
Yet the danger of such admittance Is
complacency, which rapidly puts one
in the other class. Therefore, it would
seem that our kindly ones are acting
in accordance with their real natures
when they act as they do.
They know in their hearts that to
accept praise as If IL we're their normal
due is not actlng up 10 the peSC III
them. They have been brought up on
Christian sentiments, which make much
of the meek, the lowly and the humble.
Eras of extreme sophistication, when
cleverness usurps for the time the place
which properly belongs to honesty and
integrity, tend to submerge the Chris
tan ideals.
Even the yearly recollection Of them
at this season cannot offset their for
getting for the remainder of the period.
They are kept alive in glory. how
ever by all those who actually put
them into practice, and among these
none deserve more praise than those
kindly ones who shrink from accepting
merited praise.
Jesus said that theirs shall be the
Kingdom of Heaven. The braggarts,
therefore, must be content with what
they can grab in this world. Who
knows but that their complacency is
in reality whistling in the dark?

Newfoundland Trade i'm Snarl
Over Tariff Pact With Canada

commerce, not only paved the way for
a still further deviation from New
foundland's basic policy of a uniform
tariff and led to the negotiations be-
tween Newfoundland and Canada for a
fair trade agreement, but likewise gave
rise, particularly as regards the treaty
with Jamaica, to the misunderstanding
which, up to the present, have frustrated
all efforts to put such an agreement
into operation.
Sir John Bennett, representing the
Newfoundland government, went to
Ottawa, where he had series of con-
ferenceS with the Canadian ministers of
finance and of trade and commerce.
These officials reached an understand
ing among themselves to the effect that
Canada was to continue to admit New
foundland fish free Of duty and in addi-
ton was to apply the benefits of the
Canadian British preferential tariff to
Newfoundland products and manu-
features, provided that Newfoundland in
turn should extend to Canadian goods
the most favorable charges granted to
like goods imported from British or
foreign country.
When the matter was placed before
the legislative body of Newfoundland
it was seen that such an agreement
would place Canada in the same cat
egory with Jamaica-that is, that Can
ada would have to be granted a IS per
cent discount on all the goods she sent
into Newfoundland. An attempt was
made to forestall this situation by an
appointment to the Newfoundland tariff
law, whereby 1t was made possible for
the nation to extend to any country
within the British Empire any preferen-
tial customs tariff treatment accorded
by treaty or otherwise to any foreign
country This IL Was believed that Can
ada would be granted the best terms
granted to any foreign country, but not
necessarily the best which had been
granted to a country within the empire.
Loss Too Heavy.
It was pointed out that in view of
the millions of dollars of imports re-
ceived from Canada the loss in rev.
enue would be more than Newfound-
land could stand, especially as. her ex-
ports to Canada were only about $780,
600 asyear.
But the Canadian minister of finance
thought that the agreement should
stand as originally worded, and on the
day after the Newfoundland Legisla-
ture had closed, an order-in-council
was passed substantiating the Canadian
view. There was immediate protest
from the Newfoundland customs depart
ment, appeal was taken to the minister
of justice, who Cancelled the order-in-
council and the concessions were again
placed on the basis of those granted to
ANY foreign country" 1t was with
this understanding that the agreement
was to have been put into operation by
the Newfoundland customs department,
but Canada took the opposite stand,
with the result that the. agreement
passed into oblivion.

A School of World Affairs.

Judge Edwin B. Parker of Texas, late
umpire of the American German Mixed
Claims Commission, had himself been
so prominently in the thick of modern
world affairs that he realized the neces-
sity for Americans to be more intelli-
gently converSant with them. Some
such conception must have been in the
juriSt's mind when he made a will de-
voting the bulk of his 100000 estate
to the creation of Graduate School of
International Affairs in Washington.
The school is to be affiliated with a
local university, not yet publicly named
BY the terms of his testament, Judge
Parker provided that Associate Justice
Harlan F. Stone of the United States
Supreme Court is to be chairman of the
supervising board of the school. Two
other eminent Washingtonians, Henry
L. Stimson, Secretary of State, and
william D. Mitchell, Attorney General,
also designated as friends" of the
testator, are to be members of the
board.

bequest more worthy of any public

Building Accidents.

The prevalence of accidents on build
ings in the course of construction
demands official attention. In New
York recently a cable broke and a four
ton stone plunged fifteen floors into
Wall Street, endangering the lives OF
several hundred persons and injuring
two. Only because a twist of chance
sent the huge projectile bouncing back
into the building at tie seventh floor
was tragedy of great proportions pre-
vented. This accident closely followed
many others of similar nature IN
various cities in the country.
An isolated occurrence of this kind
would cause little alarm save to those
who were involved, but the seeming
epidemic of mistakes on the part of
workmen in the gigantic structures that
are today being erected should bring
about an immediate official inquiry In
every city where they occur. 1t does
not take an engineer to know that If
four-ton piece of granite is to be
lifted from the ground tc the fifteenth
story of building the margin of safety
in tackle should be overwhelming to
prevent loss of life to those who
are directly under it. Nor does it
take a person with great amount of
intelligence to realize that present me-
chanical facilities should make this kind
of an accident almost impossible.
Unquestionably 1t is difficult and
hazardous job to the workmen them
selves to lift huge steel or stone men,
bers for the construction Of the sky

IN their line Of work to accomplish Il

the institution which Judge Parker's
endowment will found. A less modest
man might have devised that the school
should perpetuate his name. The super
vising board could do worse than to
override this unexpressed wish. For the
Parker will assures to Washington as
fine an addition to its already impress
sive roster of higher educational estab-
lishments as can be imagined. It will
deserve to be known as the Parker

fairs"
The man whose munificence permits
its foundation outlined the school pur-
pose in his will with rare succinctness.
1t is Ito teach high-minded young men
of proven character and ability subjects
calculated to equip them to render
practical service of high order to the
United States Government in its for
eign relations" Here in other words,
is a project for a service institution to
educate American youth in the field
Of diplomacy just as West Point and
Annapolis train 1t in the indispensably
important fields of national defense.
1t strikes many thoughtful observers
of international relations as strange
that little or no attention is paid by
Government to teaching the young idea
how to shoot in the direction of peace,
as well as in the direction of war.
Diplomacy, which is another name for
international relations" in the peda-
gogic sense, contemplated by the Parker
bequest, has peace for its Alpha and
Omega. at least in the era of the KEEL
logg pact. Dealing more directly with
the life of nations than any other one
agency of Government, diplomacy
clamors for the trained man. Inept
diplomacy, or diplomatic ineptitude,
which is the same thing, let the world
blunder into Armageddon in 1914.
Americans trained In the arts of
peace as efficiently as cadets graduated
from the Military Academy are edu-
Gated in ballistics and infantry drill,
or as midshipmen graduated from the
Naval Academy are educated in naviga-
ton and seamanship, may~not be able
to guarantee the Republic against war.
But scientifically grounded in the
principles of international relations and
in the methods q conducting them,
men so prepared will at least be power
full factors in guiding Government along
pacific lines.
The Parker endowment is glory
and a promise of splendid things.

Naming of Mountain
Puts BOrah on Map
rom the Milwaukee journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Senator Borah, who long ago put
Idaho on the map, Is about to be put
on the map Of Idaho. The topniost
summit of the PahSimeroi Range will
presently bear the Senator's illustriouS
name. Mount Borah! There's some
thing for poSterity to ponder over 6nn
rejoice In, although it win doubtless be
insisted by many that the Senator's
name is entirely unsuitable for noun
tain nomenclature.
FOR one thing, Q mountain Is i'm
movaDie, which the vigorous but whirli-
gig Senator most emphatically Is not.
For another thing, the future Mount
Borah Is cold and unapproachable,
crowned with snow and unconscious of
the uses of publicity. The Senator, on
the contrary, is Of an affableness re-
markable, especially with reportorial
genius, and his dark crest is flowing.
It must be admitted, however, that
many MohammedS have in their time
been forced to make the trek to him
and that he has budged not an inch to
facilitate their coming. So 1t may be
that after all the association is not
