ARMISTICE-
For a number Of years we have
been celebrating Armistice Day but
this year the day and date comes at
just the appropriate time to apply
the real meaning Of the word Arm
istee.
We have just gone through and
witnessed a prolonged series Of bat
ties which have inflicted a great
many wounds, causing untold suf-
fering and anguish between parties,
organizations, associations, acquaint-
ances. friends and even among blood
relatives.
Popular vote, for the time being,
has given a decision and whether it is
a right OF a wrong M it cannot be
changed until time and circumstances
again bring the parties into battle.
There is much work to be done;
suffering to be healed; wrongs that
must be righted; creative plans to be
brought into play; laws to be enforc-
ed; many reorganizations to be ac-
eomplished-and all Of these things
viii require every ounce of humna en-
ergy. physical and mental, that it is
possible to muster.
II is indeed time for an Armistice.
The losers must shake hands with
the winners and combine their sup
ports towards one ultimate goal in or
der 10 provide and insure a success,
prosperity, equal opportunity and a
square deal for each American citiz-
en-, regardless Of party utilization,
religious denomination, race or color.
And unless the American citizen is
assured and protected in these rights
which the world has been led to be
lieve are synonymous with the prin-
eipIes Of good American government
the day will surely come when an
. Armistice can not be so easily ar
ranged without the possible loss Of a
great deal Of split blood and wound
ed flesh.
Indeed there are agencies already
at work in these United States Of ours
whose sole purpose is to accept each
instance of injustice; each business
failure; each governmental scandal,
and each bit Of propaganda that can
possibly be construed, rewritten and
presented as specific evidence why
our present form Of govrnment can
not continue to exist much longer.
Such propaganda that is being
widely disseminated in this country,
particularly among Negroes, who.
perhaps, as American citizens have
the most grievances against the
many ~injustices perpetuated in this
country, can only be successfully off
set by a positive action on the part
Of those in power in granting to each
American citizen an equal opportun-
fly. without any restrictions whatso-
ever. and seeing that he gets it.
Now that the battle of words,
printed and spoken. is over and the
Armistice is here let US commence to
apply its real meaning.

placed in position where they feel that they must take this
ruthless action
On side there the possibility Of nominal saving Of

On the other side there will be actual distribution of hard

Why should Congress the risk which will be encountered

industry which will follow?
Congressional leaders have asserted that the action being
forced by an invisible lobby.
The thing to do is to expose this lobby.
Congress should find out what interests forcing into
action which only result in ntenscaon Of existing
nation wide discomfort and dismay.
should find who organized the rain of kilograms and

wise, are DR.. ELSIE ROBINSON
Knopf'S speciality. She knows
all their tricks. She knows
what they used to be in those
first, simple days when sex
didn't count-when a woman
was just another human being.
No one called woman "the
weaker sex" in those days. She
wasn't. No one put her on
a pedestal. Why should they?
, Woman and Man
A woman was no better than
a, man. She had the same
appetites and desires. She
thought and felt and did what
a man did. A buck and a
squaw were phySiologically and
pSychologically as equal as a
male and female wolf.
AND, AS A MATTER OF
FUNDAMENTAL FACT, THEY
STILL ARE!
But times have changed. Life
has become more complicated.
The sexes have become conSci-
Gus Of themselves, and up to
tricks.
FEMININITY HAS BECOME
A RACKET.
So now comes DR.. Olga Knopf
telling how, when and why in
her book, "THE ART OF Be
ING A WOMAN"
No, it isn't another lamenta-
ton over how men have
wronged women.
There's been dirty work done
at the crossroads, but DR..
Knopf doesn't think that men
have wronged women any more
than women have wronged
themselves.
The Feminine Racket
Femininity, as a racket, is a
miserable business, but it's also
a mutual business. The ladies
were as keen for it as the men,
and profited as much by it. If
they have also suffered by it,
that's also their own bad luck.
What did they start it for,
anyway? They started it be-
cause they wanted to GAIN
AN ADVANTAGE OVER MEN.
Men, by their relatively freer
life, stronger economic position
and closer organization, had
begun to gain an advantage

Something "A. E. "
Did Not Know

The famous George Rus
sell, "a. E.) editing the Irish
Statesman, and supporting
the Cosgrave regime, wrote
an editorial which was amaz-
ing to an American familiar
with American history in it's
relation to the Irish. 1t was
a glorification Of Hamil-
tonian ideals and a sneer at
Jefferson's. It just so hap
pened that the Jeffersonians
were the friends of the Irish
in those days, and the
Hamiltonians hated them.
The alien laws were aimed,
not at the French, as is pop
ularly supposed, but at the
Irish whose genius for poll
tics on the side Of the JEFF
fersonians was maddening.
1t was the Irish editors who
ran foul of the /" "sedition
law"-sedition being criti-
cism of the policies of the
Adams administration.
1t did seem strange that
the Irish in power in Ire
land should be ignorant of
the fact. But, as l found,
from conversation with him,
"a. E." knew nothing about
it. He knew nothing about
jefferson except what Eng
lishmen had written about
him. He admitted that he
got his ideas from reading
divers Hamilton" And.
there was something else he.
did not know, that Robert
Emmet would not have died
on the scaffold but for the
Hamiltonians playing Ameri-
can politics.
The Washington times., 1932-03-19
The Cosgrave
Regime

In some respects, the Cos
grave regime smacks very
much of the Federalist re-
gime in America. 1t con-
centrated almost entirely on
material matters, and, at
times, manifested an intol-
erance Of opposition that
would have done credit to
the Essex Junto. Repres-
sive measures were passed.
If Ireland has not had her
Alien and SeditiOn Laws,
she has had laws almost as
restrictive on OPINION. There
has been nothing inspira-
tional about it-if we omit
the Shannon enterprise, and
this may turn out to be a
burden.
The old "Irish note" has
been conspicuously absent.
The press, pro-English, has
at times been rather con-
temptuous of America-and
these were government pa
pers. The orators have been
relegated. The Parliament
has had no Floods, Grattans
or Currans. A strong ele-
ment has been more intent
on making Ireland rich than
in keeping her people free.
All of which may be neces-
sary in the beginning; and
proper. The Federalists in
America did a necessary
work; but their long contin-
uance in power would have
undermined the liberties Of
the people. Perhaps De
Valera is to be the Jeffer-
son of Ireland.

over women. But women had
a trick up. her sleeve. # she
couldn't get her way by being
stronger, she could by BEING
WEAKER.
You can get quite as much
out of life-and men-by being
DEPENDENT as by being IN
DEPENDENT; perhaps more,
says DR.. Knopf.
Submissiveness and passivity
serve the same purpose. as
aggressiveness. children find
out very early in life that they
can get their own way by stress
ing their weakness and help
lessness. We might say, in
fact, that the strongest being
in the world is the baby. He
can do nothing for himself;
and everything he needs is
done for him. No one expects
him to do anything in return.

The Helpless Sex
A great little technique!
And still going almost as strong
in 1882 as it was in 1892. Why
do Great big grown-up girls
with votes and jibs still make
baby eyes? And why do great
big grown-up boys who should
be dry behind the ears fall for
their stuff? That's why. Be-
cause both parties to the con-
tract get a big kick out Of it.
Neither men nor women
take their legal equality very
seriously" says DR.. Knopf. "It
is still an advantage for women
to pretend to be a little help
less. 1t is still an advantage
for men to spoil women and
pamper them. Men, and espe-
cially American men,. give in to
women with a generous smile.
They allow them their liberty
they let them do what they
like-because they are sure it
cannot come to much"
Indulgence - and contempt.
The lady gets her way, and
the man gets his-but at a
price. A bitter, shameful price,
which the whole human race
grows weary of paying.
It's time that women knew
what it means to be a woman
learned the "art Of being q

far more than De Valera
can possibly hate the inof-
fensive George. If it be
true, as said in a recent book
of memoirs, that the King
literally forced the confer
ences resulting in the estab-
lishment of the Free State,
he cannot be put down as a
foe of Ireland.
But there will probably
be a change in the general
B atmosphere of the govern
ment. For years De Valera
has been a leader of the
party of Opposition. In Ire
land, until very recently
when he launched a news
paper Of his own, the lead
ing papers were hostile to
hin and his party. The
fact that most, if not all, Of
these were owned by Eng
lish capital was generally
known.
With the press against
him, and the world gener-
ally approving President
Cosgrave, there must be
something worthwhile in De
Valera's principles and poll
cies to have outlived the
lean years.
