nism to millions Of listeners before
the plot was discovered. Soon we
we're all singing revolutionary songs.
A balnly evening had set in.
Someone found a rusty little grams-
phone. 1t wheezed out an old waltz
tune, Thselmann was goaded on
by the others to dance with the
American" conrade, and to the
great amusement of the rest we
lurched around and around the
small boat in clumsy old-fsshion-
ed waltz. Finally Thaelmann gave
up-dancing was not his forte.
THE next day we began to APP
l proach the harbor of Hamburg.
We were sailing through what ap-
peared to be a wealthy summer re-
sort. Yachts and sailboats dotted
the water Our gramaphone was
hastily produced, and the Interna-
tional ratified out loudly across the
water. Field glasses and lorgnettes
were pointed our way. Small boats
came near us-glassy stsres-cold,
eXpreSsionless faces-the Interna-
tional played on and on, over and
over again.
The Russian woman married to-
a = German business man was &C.
static. isn't it delightful she
gurgled. How wonderful Germany
is-everything so neat and cIean!"
Now we were passing close to a
half-built ocean liner-the nnor-
nous Europa in construction. The
workers on the boat crowded the
rails to see the Soviet ship. Sud-
denly a shout went up. Someone
had spied Thaelmann! In a
moment, Thaelmann was leaning
over our rail, shouting greetings
70 the men. Arms we're thrust for
ward rs If to grasp his outstretched
hand. Hats waved-feet stamped
words we're shouted "R t
'FRONT.'" The air vibrated with their
echoes as we sailed on.
Now I understood why this man
had been so carefully protected by
the Soviet Union. understood
the reason for the tremendous ova-
ton at the Leningrad pier. I had
seen and felt the devotion of the
Hamburg dock workers to their
powerful and tried leader, a Ham
burg dock worker like themselves.
Passport red tape over, and we
are ready to step into a launch to
take us to the Customs. 1 look
around for my new German friends.
They are not with us. Then I hear
someone call out. I turn in time
to see the five German comrades
sailing off by themselves in a small
boat. Ernst Thaelmann is stand
ing up, strong. laughing, uncon-
quershle, a glowing symbol of the
German working class. He Is wav-
ing goodbye. I wave and wave
like mad, until the boat is only
speck in the distance.

AS usual in this country the violators are those
who should shout loudest for law and order.
They tear up the Constitution in the pretense
Of preserving it.
Justice Holmes warns US against this ma
tional danger. IN message to meeting Of
the American Civil Liberties Union, called to
protest such recent violations, including the
lavless use Of the self-styled vigilantes act
ing against San Francisco strikers, he said:
"Hasty resentment and unreasoning rancor
may perhaps be expected Of special groups.
But when authorities surrender to those
groups. adopt their rancor and resentment,
and tolerate their methods Of reprisal they
abandon processes established by our history.
Such an abandonment in oefying traditions
INJURIES more than its victims"
When the constitutional rights OF the
humblest or the most hated citizen are de-
stroyed, the Liberties Of every citizen are in
secure. And when constituted authorities
condone or connive at such methods they act
as Fascists destroying American institutions.
As Mayor La Guardia Of New York ex-
pressed it at the same Civil Liberties meeting;
When civil liberties are abolished from the
country our democracy will end"

REST FOR THE WEARY

A T first our relief program consisted OF
pouring out hundreds of millions OF dol
lars in doles. Then we spent hundreds OF mil
lions more on CWA made-work projects, many
of them Of no permanent value, conceived only
for the purpose of providing jobs. These steps
we're necessary at the time. But they we're

Now the FERA is moving into its long
range program. Typical is the plan recently
inagurated. whereby $4,000 unemployed dole
receiving women are being put to work con-
verting 100000 bales of government cotton
into mattresses.
These mattresses will be distributed to
others on the dole who have no mattresses and
who have no money to buy mattresses. Hence
it is in no sense government competition with
private mattress factories.
1t is a shameful fact that hundreds OF thou
sands Of people in this bountiful land of cot
ton have no mattresses. 1t is also shameful
fact that thousands of tenant shacks in the
very fields that yield the cotton boast not
single decent bedsheet, pillow case or towel,
and that thousands of the workers who till the
cotton wear -four sacks as undergarments

THE CUBAN TREATY

A FEW people may take out their pencils
and try to figure whether the United
States or Cuba got the better bargain in the
new bi-lateral tariff treaty. But it seems to
be nearer the facts that both countries will
profit and neither will lose.
This treaty is exhibit in the evidence the
state department is building up to diSprove
the contention that it is impossible for a
Democratic government to revive foreign
trade by reciprocity trade agreements.
Ten years ago Cuba was our sixth best for

In the ten-year period Cuba's purchases Of
American goods declined 50 per cent largely

effort 10 squeeze blood out of a turnip-a
policy which reduced Cuba TO an impoverished
island Of misery. bloodshed and revolution.

BY reducing the tariffs on sugar, rum. tobacco,

commodities. Cuba agreed TO limit sugar and

SALOON DAYS OF
YORE RETURN

BY F. H.
That promise of the repealists
that they would not bring back the
old saloon if they got legal liquor,
was quite as thin as when sister
promised dad that if he'd let her
have fellows, she would positively do
no kissing.
Merely changing the name Of
rattlesnakes would not diminish the
danger to humanity in the least
There is nothing in a name. John
Dillinger's name was good enough
for great evangelist, but his bust
ness caused him to be shot in an
alley. The fang Of the rattlesnake
is to be dreaded, not his rattle, but
his rattle does at least warn us be-
fore he strikes.
We were in no doubt what the
name saloon meant in the old days.
It warned us before the serpent of
strong drink struck us. But today,
strong drink strikes the unsuspect-
ing, from a tavern, grill or grocery.
The other day, a wet who can
see finally that all the repal
promises we're only a lot of bologna,

wonder if we will have repeal fol-

pealists that if they get legal liquor,
they'll not bring back the tavern.

EXPORTS PICKING UP

IN spite of tariff barriers and other OBJ
stacleS, Americas export trade seems to
be slowly regaining its health. Or, if that is
too optimistic statement, it is at least feel
ing better than it was little while ago.
Official figures compiled in Washington
show that during the first six months of 1884
the United States exported just little more
than a billion dollars worth of goods-a high
er rate than that shown by either 1888 or
1882
If things keep on at this rate, exports for
the year will run above the $2OO0O00O00
mark, which they haven't touched since 1881.
Lest We grow too jubilant, it might be well
to point out that we are still far below the
1929 high-water mark when We exported goods
worth more than $4,000 100000 But We at
least seem to be on the way up.

rest Arthur Robinson on charges Of
melting to riot and incendlary
speeches. To only scan his alleged
speeches one can see that he is the
worst anarchist in the state.
The harassed Communists fade to
poor parlor pink beside the bel

strongly suspect he has been sub
sidized by Mr.. Stain TO lead the
world revolution in the United
States.
In such a state as California Mr..
Robinson wouldn't be allowed TO
thunder as he does. The district at
torney would have him up quicker
than a whip for syndicalism, nihil-
ism and public nuisance.
Butour police allow him to go on
talking and getting people all
worked up to overthrow something
or other. There is just too darned
much free speech.
