The Red Trail.

In It's long and unending list Of in
quisitorial activities Congress has I'M
dertaken no investigation more useful
than the one inaugurated yesterday by
the House Of Representatives into Com
munist activities in the United States.
Various Government departments con-
cerned with them are entirely familiar
with these Vaccinations. But COM
placent public is not. The House in
quiry is designed to bring to the people
notice the length and breadth Of the
red trail in this country. That Com
munist propaganda viii be exposed as
an insidious and industrious system in
our unsuspecting midst is confidently
foreshadowed by authorities acquainted
with its far-flung scope.
One of those authorities, highly re-
spected resident of Washington. was the
first witness before the House commit
tee, the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh of
Georgetown University. Father Walsh
was q member. of the Hoover famine
relief mission to Russia in 1921. Few
Americans know conditions there better.
He has no hesitation in charging that
the Soviet government has declared
war against all humanity" and plans
to overthrow all other existing govern
mental systems. For the achievement Of
that object, the priest-scholar said, the
Moscow government, the Russian Com
munist party and the red world-propa-
ganda machine, the Third Interna-
tionale, are leagued in an offensive al
lance.
In our own country, the congressional
probers were told, regular training
camps for the communication of chill
dren are maintained. Concerns masked
as trading companies, particularly the
"Amtorg" at New York, DR.. Walsh tes-
titled, are utilized for propaganda pur-
poses, as Soviet officials in foreign
of racial strife, especially among South
ern Negroes, was described as another
form of subversive activity in the
United States. DR.. Walsh asserts that
Soviet government diplomatic pouches
are used for carrying propaganda.
Through their own subsidized news
papers, like the Daily Worker of New
York, the witness informed the COM
mittee, Communists publicly preach the
doctrine of world revolution. Father
Walsh outlined the Moscow plan of tax
ing groups of twenty to thirty American
citizens to Russia, at Soviet expense, to
be trained in Communist gospel and
sent back to America to spread 1t.
At a time when American devotees
of Sovietism were driving at Washing
ton for recognition of the Moscow gov
eminent and stressing the trade ad-
vantages that would accrue, President
Coolidge uttered worthy aphorism
I'VE will not barter American prin-
ciples for business profit" said the
President. It will be well If the House
contrives to turn the searchlight on the
sinister and sleepless plot to undermine
those principles. It will be especially
wholesome If resultant revelations damp
the ardor of those who, holding that
the Soviet Is more sinned against than
SHINING, would give 1t free and unre-
strained right to pull down the Ameri-
can system and substitute for it the
autocracy of Communism.

A New Altitude Record.

The new airplane altitude record
just secured for the United States by
Lieut.. Apollo Soucek, U. s. N, is the
result of q combination of determine
ton and skill. More than a year age
Soucek, one of the outstanding pilots
in the Navy, assembled to a trifle more
than thirty-nine thousand feet. This
mark at the time exceeded all others
for both seaplanes and land planes
Shortly afterward, however, a German
Will Neuenhofen, pushed the land
plane mark up to 41,795, and while the
American still held the seaplane title
he was dismayed to lose one of the
major records Of aviation to another
country.
Accordingly, Lieut.. Soucek set out to
regain the twin honors. With his
brother zeus he designed new electri-
cally heated goggles. He co-operated
with engineers of the company which
manufactured the motor in his plane
to give 1t effectiveness at high attitudes,
and with propeller experts he studied
pitches in order that a grip could be
had by the whirr4ng blades on the
rarefied air Of the upper strata. These
experiments took more than a year,
but they were at last completed and
1t was UP to the pilot to do the rest.
And 50 with only few days left
before reporting for sea duty aboard
the Lexington soucek had his tiny
plane made ready and, dressed like q
polar explorer, he started aloft. When
he returned to earth some two hours
later he was disappointed. With the
altmeter needle trembling around the
forty-two- thousand mark his ship had
refused to go higher and every time
he tried to push it onward it would
flop over on one wing nearly ready
to spin. The temperature was eighty
nine degrees below zero and it was
only by generous use of oxygen that
he kept himself from losing conscious
ness. But the altmeter was wrong
and celebration of the two paragraphs
on the plane by the Bureau of Stand
ards showed that the naval aviator
had reached a higher ceiling" than
any other human in the history of
mankind, the tiny line showing re-
corded height of. 43,166 feet.
1t Is particularly gratifying to Amer
leans to have regained the record.
Other nations have consistently been
taking away our titles in the air. The
speed record belongs to England ard
the non-refueling duration and dis
lance records to Italy. It is high time
for other flyers to emulate Lieut..
Soucek so that America can once more
take its rightful place in the world of
aviation.

SHOOTING STARS.

When other topics could not please,
We used to get together
For conversation at our ease
And talk about the weather.
But even that theme brings regret
AS the report grows boIder;
We hear 1t will be still more wet
And, maybe, even colder.
Unto the tariff we must turn,
Or airships bravely landing.
The weather, we are panied to learn,
In talk has lost It's standing.

TokiO's Fire Tower
viii Be Replaced by Alarm.

VIII Be Replaced by Alarm.
Japan Advertiser, Tokio.-Tokios pic
turesque fire watch towers will soon be
replaced by modern fire alarms, II city
officials are successful in their plan Tor
campaign to reduce the capitals an
nual damage from flames. A remark
able decrease in the number OF freS IN
Toxic and its suburbs has been report
ed since the latter part Of November.
This decrease is attributed to the gen.
eral uncertainty and cautiouSneSs OF the
people during the present acute imam
cial and business depression, necesst-
tating frugality and retrenchment.
According to statistics, fires In Toxic
and the suburbs during last month
totaled So and 81. as against 1T in the
city and SO in the suburbs during the
same period last year. This period is
regarded as the worst for fires in the
| year.
The fire department is planning to
! replace watch towers in the city and
its suburbs with 5000 fire alarms. This
is due to the fact that the rapid in
crease in the number of tall concrete
buildings in all parts of the city has
greatly reduced the efficiency Of the
! towers. At present there are 449 fire
alarms in Toxic, of which about 300 are
installed in large buildings, while the
rest are where they can be used by the
general public.
With the abolition of the old
| fashioned fire towers, the fire watch
men, who sit in these towers and focus
their gaze upon every bit of smoke or
| flame, are also doomed. Toxic has
been spending the amount of 100000
yen-$5O0, 000-every Winter for night
fire watchmen. During the Summer
their services are dispensed with, as
there is not nearly so much danger OF
conf1agrattons.
