Ban on Tom Mann
Called Support Of

Many Groups Endorse
u. S. Anti War
Congress

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Inter
national Labor Defense yesterday
wired its protest to Secretary of State
Hull against the exclusion Of Tom
Mann, veteran British revolutionist,
from the United States, where he
was to attend the United States Con-
gress Against War, September 2, 8,
and 4 in New York.
The telegram said: International
Labor Defense protests vigorously
against the refusal of visa to Tom
Mann, militant British trade union
ist, to visit U. S. for Anti-War Con-
gress. We demand immediate issu-
ing Of visa. Refusal can only be in
terpreted as an attack by the U. S.
government On opposition to prepar-
atoms for another World War.
1--WE point out also that refusal OF
visa is violation of the pretended
spirit Of the MIRA, and puts the
U. S. government on the same level
as the Hitler government, which re-
fuses to permit attorneys to enter
Germany to defend the victims of
the Reichstag fire frame-up."

Judgment and appraisal of life's values
mar the plan and hinder its outworking,
but 1t is difficult if not impossible to

Sometimes late in life, too late for
large accomplishment, we discover the
cause or causes that have resulted in
our failures and disappointments. To
arise each morning with the conscious
ness that in every way, quite beyond our

Well did the poet write:

There must come to one and all of

and sorrows-no life is immune to
them, but overcast as the skies may be,
we cannot think that we move along
our way without design or purpose. Re-
peatedly we look back across the span

severe marked a new advance and in

A Noteworthy Conference.

On Monday there will assemble in
Washington a special meeting of the
National American Conference Against
Racial Prosecution in Germany. The
conference was organized for the pur-
pose of mobilizing public opinion in
this country in protest against anti
Semitism in the Nazi-ruled Reich. The
significant feature of the movement is
the fact that it is sponsored exclusive
ly by Christian, and therefore nom
Jewish, elements Of American society
The national committee sponsoring it
is headed by James w. Gerard, pre-war
American Ambassa dor to Germany, and
includes distinguished men and women
of many Christian creeds in every walk
of life.
The general character of these Amer
leans, who protest in the name of civili-

to exterminate German Jewry, is re-

this city narrowly escaped electrocution
when several wires Of this character
which had been ripped down by q
tree that was struck by lightning fell
upon their car
These accidents reveal a grave danger
to road users due to the exposure of
high-powered conductors along the lanes
of traffic. In the first instance the
pole was so close to the roadway that
it was hit by a skidding car. In the
second case, the conductor line was
near enough to be carried into the
highway by falling tree.
All these wires should be buried, as
are the electric conductors in most of
the cities. The fact is that urban con-
ditions have in effect, as regards traf-
f1c, been extended into interurban areas,
and the same rules that apply to high
power wires in town should apply to
them along the lines of frequent travel
as we'll
There can be no safeguard against
death by electrocution as long as these
high-tension conductors are maintained
in the vicinity Of the main Travelled
roads. The poles may be torn down
by storm directly or by the falling of
trees, across them. They may be hit
by cars which are forced off the road.
They may fall by the weakening of
their fastenings. They are a constant
peril and their removal to a safe dis
tance or their burial in conduits should
be required in the interest of public
security.
