Matthew Woll's letters to all sena- tors and congressman warning about the great red scare that threatens the country. Senator La Toilette blankly states that the whole busi- ness is an attempt by somebody to divert public attention" from the state of the nation, meaning the character of prosperity that afflicts the Republican Administration.
 There is something to this charge of "diverting public attention" If MT. Woil, who is an official of the American Federation of Labor, is a party to the diverting business it may be by accident.
 The A. F. of l.. has been a strenu- ous fighter against the red menace for years. In this it receives the support of persons of influence not members of the labor unions. It may merely be that Mir. Woll is unduly alarmed and secs chance to strengthen the position of the Federation in the face of the threat ened propaganda from Moscow.
 It is easy to agree with Senator Walsh of Massachusetts that hostil- ity to the Administration accrues from denying the facts as they are" That at least wa$ partly shown in the vote in the second Massachusetts district recently, in which it is ad- mitted that unemployment had a hand to defeat the Administration candidate.
 Senator Wagner of New York has the right idea in advocating the systematic collection of unemploy- ment statistics, instead of estimates usually from manufacturing sources-as at present followed h. deed, the United States appears to be the only first class nation which lacks such statistics. When the cables quote unemployment statis- tics in England, France, Germany or similar nations, they arc as ac curatc as censuses. We ought to be beyond the estimating stage.

COMMUNIST AGITATION

The Communists who are active throughout the United States at the present time, trying hard to take due advantage of the unemployed, have three aims. one of which Is psychological in character: (a) Tc attract as much attention as pos slblc, if necessary with the aid of the police: b) to gain an appre- able number of converts, which is considerably harder than attracting attention by stirring up the police; Co to run he risk of being "abus- ed" and thus becoming martyrs to the cause" which in turn would engender sympathy among the classes they arc trying to reach in the first place.
 Looked at from any angle, the po- lice are confronted with q situation that requires more skill than the crude methods that play into the hands of the Communists, such as have been followed in some of the metropolitan centers.
 As the New York World pointedly declared regarding methods in New York:
 Tt seems that the police had bet ter learn their jobs, else the Con- munists will count themselves vic torious; that is, they will succeed in appearing so abused that their main object will be achieved As a start, 1t might be a good idea to proceed in cold impersonal and lawful man. ner." etc.

THE GOOD THAT FLOODS DO

The evidence of Connecticut farmers that high flood waters along the Connecticut helped agriculture along the bottom lands may have been startling news 10 the lorily state of Massachusetts which seeks to make the waters of the river more uniform through Impending of headwatcrs along the Swift and Ware rivers, but it was no ~e"s to those who have even an elementary knowledge of farming.
 One Glastonbury farmer testified that he was able to harvest three tons Of hay per acre from the meadow land without using fcrtiIiz- CT; that the high waters spread rich silt over the land, while low waters brought logs an other debris free of charge.
 The facts are that the bottom lands" along rivers all over the country are exceptionally good pro- ducers for the reason mentioned; and they usually arc worth more per acre than others further and higher from the river.

A YEAR IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Today President Hoover has be- hind him one year in the White House. Naturally the accomplish ments of this first year. as well as the shortcomings, are being review cd with tho expenditure of consid- erable energy; and some reviewers profess satisfaction while others the reverse.
 The accomplishments, briefly, have been these:
 Farm relief-complcting the is- sue which hung over from the previous administration.
 The naval conference of London
 Conferences with industrial and business leaders after the stock crash.
 Attempts to improve law enforce ment
 Limited tariff revision.
 Com missions for fact-tinding.
 The Wickersham commission.
 Tax reduction, a perennial from the former administration.
 A new congressional reapportion- ment law.
 New hospitals for disabled war veterans, and :l5.OOo,O0o appropri- ated.
 Settlement of South American boundary disputes, and others in process of settlement.
 Investigation of the Haitian situ- ation.
 Extensive building program in Washington sponsored.
 Beginning of extensive flood con- trol work.
 And some minor matters.
 These accomp plishments are not breath taking, but Administration ICdueTS Gdy tOC illul II thhiloA pS N-N- pected in one year in office. Besides, as Senator Capper says, Mir Hoover has the engineering mind and pre- fers 10 devote preliminary time to working up data and blueprints.
 In the minds of innumerable citi- zens, the Presidents views on tariff revision are more important than anything else. In this he has disap- pointed members of his party. He has steadfastly refused to clarify his earlier belief that nothing more than "Iimited" revision is necessary. And to cap the climax. it has beeu stated and not denied that the , President has been pleased at the manner in which the Insurgents and Democrats have punctured the plan of the old-timers in his party to shove the tariff up to unheralded levels.
 Note what Senator Capper, mak- ing a Presidential anniversary ad- dress last night said on this point:
 "It is my belief that the Senate discussion and actions will result Tn tariff rates in line with President Hoover's program. this in spite of the fact that those rates, in the last analysis, will be written in great part by political enemies of the President
