tionsl tension to the breaking point.
He quoted from the almost in
credible jingoistic uttersnces of the
fascists to illustrate how these lead
ers were taking their countries very
rapidly to war. He used Hitlers
declaration that Germany must
wage a war Of determination against
France as a case in point,
Strachey said that it was pre-
cisely because faScism was unable
to relieve or to solve in any degree
the worldwide crisis of capitalism
that it pointed toward war as the
way out. In fact. the whole capt.
talist world was heading for war,
he asserted, because the capitalists
can see no other way out than in a
resort to arms.

Most brutal and cold-blooded Of
the police atrocities was the wan-
ton murder of George Bennett, 21-
year-old Negro youth. Bennett was
arrested last Sunday and jailed on
suspicion of receiving stolen goods"
On Tuesday he was removed from
the Jail to the hospital, and on
Thursday relatives were notified
that he was dead. The explanation
given was that Bennett had had a
''fit." Relatives, however, assert that
Bennett had never had a fit in his
life, and that when taken to the
police station had been in the best
Of health and unscarred in any
way. This contrasted sharply with
the mangled condition OF his body
when it was given to the under
taker; the back of the head was
horribly crushed in and one eye
had been almost knocked out.
Second Killing
On the following Tuesday morn
ing, the second killing was chalked
UP by the swashbuckling official
thugs when Elijah Sallee was shot
through the heart by Patrolman j.
H. Allen. Allen tells fantastic
story of Sallee having a knife in his
hand, with blood on it, and of
slashing at the officer when APP
preached. The only evidence of this
attempted attack" on the person
of the policeman, however, was a
small cut in his uniform. Sallee
died Immediately.
About a week ago an eleven-year
old boy whose name was not learn
ed was cursed at by the white clerk
of doughnut shop in the heart Of
the Negro section of the city. The
lad demonstrated with the clerk,
and was hit across the head with
stool. The boy was not seriously
hurt, however, ana ran, hurting a
brick at his tormentor. Police we're
called, and q few moments later
several armed men in plain clothes
drove upon the scene, drew a pistol
upon the helpless lad and then beat
him pitilessly about the head with
blackjack. The boy eventually
escaped.
Connected With Fireman Case
That the wave Of terror has a
direct connection with the case of
the death of the fireman is clearly
shown in the events that followed
the killing last month. Charles
Curvin, Negro bell-hop, was re-
turning from q dance just before
daybreak. AS he reached a corner
he was stopped by someone who
thrust gun through the closed
window of his automobile and be-
gan cursing him Excited by the
breaking glass and fearing a hold
up, Curvin fired the revolver he
carried in his car for protection.
The shot killed j. J. Williams, later
proved to be fireman who was at
tempting in the usual local man
nsr to command a Negro to halt
his car because of fire hose.
Curyin was Immediately arrested,
and in the presence of dozens of
white and Negro witnesses, taken
back to the scene of the killing and
brutally pummelled in an attempt
to wiring a confession from him.
Witnesses to the open third degree
testified that Curvin was red from
head to foot" after this torture.
Despite his potestations CT inno-
cense of premiditation, he was given
life sentence.
AT his retrial the charge was
changed from murder to man
slaughter, the latter carrying a
penalty of as little as one year, and
from this date began the present
series Of atrocities by the local law
officers and hired thugs.

BOSTON ECONOMIST

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
FiIene Warns at Same Time
Need to Cooperate With New
Deal Plans Under Way

Boston. Dec. 26.-lR-Edward A.
Filene, widely known Boston merch-
ant and economist. Wednesday de-
scribed the outlook for 1885 as "at the
same time very bright and very du-
bious' and pointed to several "two-wa
signs"
Filene warned that II business and
the supreme court failed to cooperate
with the president. the country might
be compelled TO turn to Socialistic
measures"
america has decisively endorsed
the New Deal" he said. thus ending
that uncertainty which constituted
such q drag upon recovery In 1894.
In 1885, however, the supreme court
may rule that certain vital parts Of
the New Deal are unconstitutional,
thus demolishing our half-built struc-
ture Of recovery and forcing = new
beginning under most difficult cir
cumstances.
Business is pledging cooperation
with the president, and there is un-
doubleday a more widespread UNDER
standing that prosperity, both for
consumer goods industries and dur
able goods industries depends basic
ally upon the buying power Of the
masses. There is no telling. however,
how far this promised cooperation will

provement until business generally
acts upon this new understanding.
Congress will arrange for nation
wide unemployment insurance and
probably for old age insurance-thor-
oughly sound business measures-aud
millions Of Americans will begin to
spend money which they have not
dared to spend before, satisfying their
long accumulated wants and immedi-
ately stimulating business, and pro-
viding more employment and more
kuying power. On the other hand,
congress may more than undo all this
good work by flirting with unsound
radical legislation, particularly cur
rency initiation.
Some industries, such as the auto
mobile industry. are already leading
the way to recovery by courageously
setting out to supply the long-re-
pressed demand for consumer goods,
and their success is sufficiently mark
I'd so that we may expect many other
industries to follow suit. On the other
hand our exports are still but frac-
ton Of their fol mer volume and all 1t
tempts to retrieve this loss have 50 faI
