him an outstanding figure He became
minority leader when Alfred E. Smith
left the Senate to become Governor.

use of this property to the Jewish Com

The field will consist Of base ball
diamond, number of tennis courts,
outdoor hand ball courts, volley ball
courts, dressing rooms and showers.
The supervision of the field will be
under the direction of Jim MacNamara,
the athletic director of the center.
The development of this property
has arisen from the desire to offer
some source of removing the present
danger of street playing by children
and the possibilities of dangerous in
dulgence outdoors without proper and
organized supervision. Although the
field has been developed through pri-
vate enterprise, its facilities are to be
opened to the public.

remain who should be deported7 It Is
q fair conclusion that q large percentage
OF those who have done the work OF
execution are themselves In the ''unde-
sirable alien" category.
The Governments task Of cleaning
out these unwelcome and dangerous
aliens may be lessened, but not &C
complished by the murderous activities
Of the gangs. It should be prosecuted
vigorously. Every individual who falls
within the classification should be
brought to book speedily and sent out
of the country as quickly as the proc
esses will permit.
Not all Of the gangsters who have
made a business of organized crime are
aliens. Many of them are American
born, though perhaps Of foreign par
entage. Some are of long established
American stock. The Federal Govern
ment's Jurisdiction over them is lin
tied to a few cases. Some can be
reached, as in the case of the Capone
brothers, only by the income tax evas-
ion process. The majority of them
must be left to the local courts, which
have not been effective.

Philippine Freedom Opposed
AS Dangerous to Islanders

that "if Government representatives
in position to know feel the day Of in
dependence should be delayed, we have
no reason to doubt either the wisdom
or sincerity of their opinions" The
Rock Island Argus feels that sit may
safely be assumed that Mr.. Hoover
is well informed" and quotes the
President as feeling that independence
would mean their economic Shipwreck."
The Cleveland News thinks that, with
stable governments hard put to it to
ride out the storm of business depres-
sion, cutting the Philippines adrift now
would be little short of suicidal" The
Springfield Mass, Union is interested
in the fact that "the administration
pledges itself to further study Of the
whole question:" while the Houston
Chronicle declares: IAN early solution
of these problems might be more urgent
if the Philippine people were, in fact,
suffering any tyranny. But they have
every freedom that citizens of the
United States have. They have every

serve"
Describing the differences among the
inhabitants of the islands themselves,
the Lexington Leader states: "The
islands are inhabited not only by a
variety of racial groups, holding differ
ent and utterly hostile religious views,
some pagans, some Mohammedans,
some Christians, but by thousands and
hundreds of thousands, who, in the
matter of culture, range all the way
from pure savagery to the status of
civilized beings in the western sense.
The really educated, cultured people of
the Philippines are in the distinct mi
nority, constituting a comparatively
small group For this reason, says
Inc Leader. the masses are unfit for
representative government as the neonle
of this country understand it,"
Summing up the whole question, the
Hartford Daily Times asserts: "Tne

should refuse ultimately to redeem its
promise to the islanders. It would be
equally humiliating if it should turn
them loose merely that their products
might yield us returns at the customs
house." ''''-'''

be the truth Is the Numerically op-
posite. For example, Washington
diplomatic quarters, at the very moment
Of anti-Japanese maneuvers by Russia,
both at Moscow and in the shape Of
military movements near Manchuria,
hear that Japan and Russia in fact
have thorough understanding" This
not incredible suggestion is accompanied
by the statement that the most power
full and respected foreign diplomat now
on duty in Toxic is NJ. Karakhan, the
Soviet Ambassador to Japan. The in
timation is that Karakhan, working
with either the civilian authorities or
the military party in Toxic or both, is
cognizant of Japan's every move and
purpose in Manchuria, and has given
Toxic the seal of Moscows approval.
Whether this Is merely one more It's
sue in the tale Of rumor, recrin1ination
and remorse that habitually is spun In
the Far East, the fact remains that
China must think twice, thrice and
even oftener before hitching her wagon
to the Soviet star. The bear that walks
like a man keeps his nose and eyes
headed straight in the direction OF
China, even though he is now q Com
munist and not a Czarist bear. Indeed,
the longings of Soviet Russia to deSpoil
and dominate China are more sinister
than those which guided Imperial
Russia's policy, for the Russia of today
would insinuate itself into The hearts
and souls and territory of the Chinese
people, in the guise Of the savior, but in
reality for the purpose of enslaving
them under the red yoke.
A China that accepted the help OF
Soviet Russia in a war Of liberation
against Japan would wake up some
day. and at a very early day, to md
that the Chinese had escaped Japanese
bondage only to be plunged into Rus
sian serfdom.

Red Russia Bats China,

Communist Russia this week is cele-
brating the October revolution" of
1917, whereby the Soviet usurped power.
Yesterday the Third Internationale,
which in our parlance might be de-
scribed as the administration party,
now in autocratic power at Moscow,
seized upon the anniversary as an &C.
casion for breathing defiance in the di-
rection Of Japan. 1t urged the workers
and oppressed people of all the CAPT.
talistic world" to support China against
the imperialists," and proclaimed that
II Japan made war on China it would
be "a step toward war against Soviet
Russia"
The State Department at Washing
ton wisely refuses to look upon this
Communist stage thunder as presaging
the imminence of RuSso-Japanese hos
tilities. The Third Internationale's
gesture can be far more accurately in
terpreted as an impudent bid to the
subversive forces within China-as an
invitation to spread the world revolu-
ton" there and spread 1t, of course,
under Soviet guidance from Moscow.
The idealistic and altruistic purpose
Of the Communists toward China is re-
vealed in the appeal to help "our
Chinese brothers actively in their
struggle against occupation, against
the League Of Nations, against the
treacherous Kuomintang, against Chang
Kai-Shek-for a united, independent
hSoviet China" The Third Interna-
tionale is nothing If not candid and
unabashed. One can imagine the Nam
king government today, in the midst Of
its hapless conflict with Japan, pray
ing to be saved from China's friends
beyond the Siberian border. Ever since
the Nationalist government has main.
tanned its precarious existence it ha.
had to cope with ruthless Communist
efforts to undermine it.
