THE MARRY -GO-ROUND = B

V7ERILY, my daughter, the
v heart of a woman accordeth
not always with her judgment;
but in one thing they are
agreed. That a good husband
and perfect lover are not al
ways identical.
Go to. A woman may endure
many failingS in q husband,
that she would not abide in q
lover. For, a husband is a
matter of personal preference,
even as the light and the dark
meat Of the turkey.
But, the Perfect Lover hath
been standardized. Yea, in all
things, he is authentic! He
runneth true to TYPE.
And, whether she be damsel
or matron, blonde or brunette,
highbrow or frivolous, every
woman carryeth the same Ideal
in her heart.
Behold, the way Of the Model
Lover Is Strewr1 with conquestS
and gar1ands and batteries and
dinner invitations. For, whether
he be brilliant or subtle, plain
or pulchritudinouS, aScetic or
athletic, he posSeSSeth the Win
ming Manner, which is the pass
key to the heart ot al women.

And is it not fair inference from this that you n-
tend to make it the policy of the District Attorneys
office to bring about the jailng of all persons who
furnish tips on law violations for investigation but who
unwilling for obvious personal reasons to serve
prosecuting witnesses?
And if this is your rule of action, then Dty, Why,
Uhy, Mr.. ROUer, did you permit the iniLing of the
three reporters lOtiLe other persons UO apparently

before the Grand Jury, and uUhO apparently refused
to serUe prosecuting witnesses, GLLOuced to
go scot free?
Does your policy apply to everyone, or only to re-
pOrters of The Washington Times?
And again pe ask you, Mr.. ROUer, if you intend to
jail all infOrmers UhO refuse to act prosecuting
witnesses, don't you think that many good people
Uu be reluctant to giUe you clues to LaU UiOGiOn,
and aren't you able to that effective LGU enforce

WIN. ROVER, The washington Times mas some
IVN more questions to ask you.
49, vital issue is before us, involving effective
enforcement of the prohibition law and affecting every
resident of the city.
It is your duty as public servant MIR. Rover, to in-
form the people of Washington and of the country
exactly what your policy is regarding the treatment OF
persons offering tips on law violation
And until you do it is our duty, likewise as servant
of the public to continue to lombard you with querles'
even at the risk of growing bit wearsOme.
Mr. Rover, was it your idea that the city editor OF
The Washington Times be subpOenaed before the
Grand Jury to present any evidence the paper had re-
lating to the rum traffic?
Or did this idea originate entirely within the Grand
Jury?
And what instructions did you give the foreman o.
the Grand Jury regarding the questioning and treat
ment of this city editor?
Was it your idea Mr.: Rover, that the city editor ano

to dazzle her with WiSecrackS

his own voice. He is So clever!
When he eScorteth her upon
the street, the Perfect Lover is
more gallant than a doorman
and more protecting than q
policeman on a busy corner.
But an amateur saith, Hurry
up!"
The Perfect Lover is full of
tenderness, and the impetuosity
Of the caveman is not IN him.
For he knoweth that q woman,
like unto a kitten, preferreth

later the three reporters be certified before the court
as recacitTant witnesses with the threat of jail SEN
tences hanging over their heads?
Or did this idea originate entirely within the Grand
Jury?
And if it did originate in the Grand Jury, did you
heartily concur in this action?
Or if you didn't approve of this action, and if the
Grand Jury insisted that the newspaper men be cert
fled for contempt why did you permit your assistant
prosecutor to go into court and every legal means
to bring about the jaing of three reporters?
Why did you not inform the court that while there
the basis of technical of contempt it would
be unwse to deal severely with these reporters as all
of the essential information they able to furnish
already before the Grand Jury in writing, and as
newspapers are of valuable service to enforcement
officers in exposing law violations and furnishing vau
able clues?
Does not your failure to take such action lead to the
inevitable conclusion that you heartily approved of the
jailing of these reporters?

Smoke Screens

I France, italy, total more than two
billion dollars, as compared to less
than half billion dollars spent by
the Soviet Union, which is threaten
ed by all of the imperialist powers.
But the strength of the Soviet
Union cannot be measured in terms
of expenditure. First of all, the SOL
diers of the Red Army realize their
role in defending not only the work
ers of the Soviet Union, but in fight
ing for the cause of the working
class in every country. The soldiers
of the imperiaist countries can be
used only by force and by keeping
them in ignorance of their role as
tools and cannon fodder of the CAPT
talists. These soldiers are already
beginning to wake up to the mean
ing of these war preparations
against the Soviet Union. Other
young workers, now fooled by the
smoke-screen of the pacifists and the
Kellogg pacts, will remember the
anti-militarist leaflets issued by the
Young Communist League and in
stead of being tools of the bosses,
they will join with the Red Army
of the Soviet Union in fighting for
their own class.
Since the defeat of the various
military interventions of 1920,
the imperialists have been prevented
from attacking the Soviet Union
only by the workers of their own
countries. Their first step will be
to establish reign of terror against
all working class organizations and
to put militant leaders of the work
ers behind the bars. The determine
ton to outlw and terrorize not only
the Communist Party and Young
Communist League, but all fighting
left wing unions, is shown by the
wholesale arrests in Chicago, the
years of Imprisonment for Gastonia
strikers, and arrests, together with
increased use of the American fas-
cists, the --merican Legin, through
out the country.
The working class must learn les
sons from the increased military ex-
penditures Of the imperialist coun-
tries, their so-called disarmament"
conferences, and the attacks on mill
tant labor organizations and leaders
of the workers. The necessity for
defense of the Soviet Union is more
apparent than ever. To bring these
lessons to the working class to util-
ize the period before armed hostili-
ties for strengthening our forces,
must be the task of every member
of the Communist Party and Young
Communist League-of every class
conscious worker.

By PAUL CROUCH.

Data on military expenditures
published in the British review, "The
Economist" show that the amount
spent for war preparations are even
create rthan the statistics generally
published. A large part of the funds
expended have been disguised in
various ways.
A common method in the United
States is to present a bill for mill
tary and naval expenditures to con-
gress, which is followed up with
many emergency appropriations
which are not made known to those
who do no read and study the "Con-
gressional Record" During the last
session of Congress, the writer spent
several days listening to these
emergency" appropriation bills
brought in by the Military and Ma
val committees of the senate. For
instance, the chairman of the Naval
Committee would announce that the
none appropriated for the construc-
ton of a cruiser or submarine had
been spent and that the work was
only half done-that this would be
wasted Unless cufficient additional
funds were appropriated.
When these approx tions were
brought in, Senator King would give
an exhibition of his role by jumping
to his feet, asking a technical ques-
ton or t-yo, growing protests, and
then, in every case, voting for the
appropriation.
The actual expenditures for mill
tary purposes this year, according
to the figures revealed by the Econ
omist," by the United States totaled
1919, 100000, or twice as much as
before the war. The expenditure of
Great Britain is but slightly smaller,
Including the colonies (Which are
listed separately by the English gov
eminent in giving its "official re-
ports), Great Britain is spending
$386,427,OO0 for war preparations
this year.
In spite of all the Lucarno, Cen
eva, Hague and Washington con-
ferences for peace" and "disarma-
ment," the expenditures for war by
the imperialist countries show a

Scandal" at Film Guild Not
the Usual Fine Soviet Picture

performed marvels in helping to roo
out ignorance and illiteracy in the
Russian worker and peasant.
In order to point out to the Soviet
peasant the uselessness of idle, petty
gossip and SANDER, Scandal" pro.
duced by Wufku, the Ukrainian film
organization, makes use of the an
cient devices of the motion picture
simple and obvious tricks which the
American film producers were util-
izing in the days of Mack Sennett's
! bathing beauties and in the days
when Mary Pickford was playing
angel-child's parts.
Five villains are the instruments
Of the old school of the movies by
which the uselessness and the vi
ciousness of petty gossip are brought
home to the Soviet peasant, for
whom the film was intended. They
are four scandal mongering old
hays, and Sashka, son of one of the
old gossipers.
Verochka, a tramway conductress,
who lives with her father a railroad
engineer, wants separate room and
gets it. Sashka's mother had covet-
ed the same room, and the gossipers
and Sashka feeling cheated plan re-
venge on Verochka.
When Alexei, a young postal
chauffeur, calls on Verochka and
finds himself forced to spend the
night in her room because of a
storm, the evil tongues of the scan
dial mongers are let loose.
Alexei believes the SANDER, and
the two fall out. All ends happily
ever after when Verichka is nearly
killed by stone thrown by Sashka,
the good for nothing of the tale.
Not anywhere near up to the
usual high standard of Soviet films,
Scandal" nevertheless gives you
good illustration of genre of the
USSR moving picture of which much
has been heard-the educational
propaganda" film. And too, you
are introduced to yet another one of
those heart -crushers of the Soviet
cinema, Lena Filkovskaya, quite a
peach.
