Russia Didn't Buy.

From the Los Angeles Times.
The great burst of trade we were
supposed to have gained by the recog-
milton of Russia can be briefly repre-
sented by a zero.
Soviet purchases have not materially
increased in this country. At the
same time recognition has not much
increased Soviet importations into
America.
Two reasons are given by those who
held out to President Roosevelt golden
dreams of wealth that were to follow
a resumption of trade between the two
countries. The United States was not
prepared to extend to Russia long
term credits; the Senator johnson
bill forbidding Americans to loan
money or float bonds for countries in
default on their debts to this country
A further obstacle is the insistence
of the United States that the large
sums Of money loaned to the Kerensky
government should be paid by the
Soviets. The Soviets cody reply that
we should have seized the credits that
Kerensky had in New York banks
when his government fell will the
laboring masses of the U. S. S. r. be
asked to pay for the bullets with which
they were shot?" asks Soviet news
paper-referring to the fact that Ke-
rensky borrowed American money to
finance the advance Of white" armies.

New Jerseys Hole Sitter.

In Camden, N. j., woman is
sitting on the sidewalk in front of
her residence, with her feet in hole
in test of strength and endurance
to prevent the local electric lighting
corporation from replacing an old
pole with a new one. The contest
has lasted many hours and ct latest
reports there was no sign of weakening
on the part of the obstructionist. The
circumstances of the case are peculiar.
When the company's workers came
along and removed the old pole she
asked that it be given to her for fire.
wood. This request was refused.
Thereupon she took her place at the
excavation and defied the workmen
to resume their operations. Her hus-
band, out Of job, understudied her
as hole sitter. The company was in
a quandary. 1t had a permit to re-
place the pole, issued by the municipal
authorities, but did not attempt to
proceed lest the removal of the woman
lead to lawsuit for assault. The situ-
alton became cause of public ex-
citement, crowds gathered to watch
the static condition and much publi-
city ensued.
This sort of thing has happened be-
fore, but there seems to be no remedy

fines are not really corrective. As
long as the inconsiderate, rule
breaking motorist feels that he can
get away with his misdemeanor with
only a small monetary penalty at the
most he will not be a safe driver.
He will remain potential menace
to life.
There is no reason to think that
the traffic rules are not fully known
and understood by those who use the
streets. An educational campaign,
however vigorously prosecuted, can do
no more than to teach lessons already
learned in theory. Something posi-
tive, not negative, is needed If this
rising record of deaths and disable
ments in the streets of the Capital
Is ever to be checked.

Strange Civilization.

From the Asbury Park IN. j. Evening Press
Another attempt to hamper the &C
tivities of outlaws and gangsters
through taxation finds application in
law that became effective Septem-
ber l. On that date any person hav-
ing in his possession a sawed-of shot
gun or machine gun is required to
register with the collector of internal
revenue the number or other identify
ing marks of the weapon, give his
name and address, and tell where he
keeps the weapon.
Any person buying such a weapon
must have permission from special
commission, be fingerprinted and pay
a Federal tax. Dealers in such arti-
cles are subjected to what probably
was intended to be prohibitive taxation.
Importers and manufacturers must pay
special tax of 81 900 year; dealers,
5000 year, and pawnbrokers, $500 q
year.
This law was sponsored by the Fed
eral Department Of Justice and passed
during the last session of Congress
In so far as it applies to legitimate
manufacturers, importers and dealers.
it should have a deterrent effect upon
the increase of ownership of these in
struments of destruction.
In the long reaches of history the
day may come when such a law will
be studied with interest as a curious
relic of barbarism. The logic of max
ing legitimate a transaction under
such suspicion that the purchaser
must be photographed and finger
printed is hard to demonstrate. 1t
becomes the more difficult when one
considers that, apart from the Army
and the police, the sole users of sawed
of shotguns and machine guns are
public enemies. That such deals can
be justified by the payment OF 5000 or
by any sort of licensing seems a strange
notion of the functions of government.

Constitutional Principles in Relation
To Strikes Accompanied by Picketing

the powers of government, and In re-
spect to which, if the Government
fails, 1t ceases to justify its existence.
Now, what is the object of union
labor in picketing ones place Of busi-
ness whether it be done peacefully or
with violence? 1t is to coerce the
owner into acceding to the demands
of the parties whom the picketers
represent, and that too often without
regard to the practicability or justice
of the demands. Under such circum-
stances. what becomes of the consti-
tutional liberty of the owner Of the
business, of his pursuit of happiness,
of his property rights, and of the free
and untrammeled conduct of his busi-
ness? To sanction or approve Of
picketing, no matter how peaceful,
is to make a hollow mockery of our
constitutional guarantees, to en-
courage violence, to deny to the busi-
ness man the equal protection of the
law" to take his property without
due process of law"-two other con-
stitutional guarantees-andto to strike
fatal blow at the fundamental right
Of the ownership and security of
property, which are the very basis
of social order and the bulwarks of
civilization. Strike down these securi-
ties that have become our heritage
after 1000 years of bloody struggle,
and what will be the inevitable re-
suits? Anarchy, and a return to a
jungle order of society.
Aside from the injury to the person
whose place of business is picketed,
and the infringement of his most ele-
mentary rights, such picketing is also
an annoyance to and an encroachment
upon the rights of the public, and is
well calculated to and often does lead
to violence. destruction of life and
property and the peace and good order
Of the community.
At this time, when society seems
in a state of flux, when lawlesSness
is rampant and the moral code seems
no longer to restrain; when the forces
Of evil and anarchy are marshaling
for the overthrow of the social order,
and when principles of government,
heretofore regarded and accepted as
automatic are being scoffed at and
resented as hindrances to every
crazy scheme for social betterment,
the call Is imperative, If our insti-
tutions are to be preserved, for the
patriotic and law-abiding elements
of our citizenry to awake from their
lethargy and indifference and exert
their collective power and influence
for the maintenance of law and
order and the SacrednesS and su-
premacy of our Constitution, which
embraces within the principles of
its beneficent folds all citizens alike,
regardless of their occupations or sta
tions in life, or whether they be en-
ployers or employees

Death in the Streets.

Notwithstanding all the efforts Of
the Police Department. the Voice of
Safety" and other means of arousing
concern for security in the streets of
the Capital. the trafic fatality toll
for this current month has risen to
the point where it is within one less
than the all-time monthly record.
Up to yesterday fourteen deaths had
been recorded. Every one Of them
needlessl Fast driving, disregard of
the rules, inattention on the part Of
pedestrians as we'll as drivers, have
all contributed, as usual, to the
record. The worst case was that Of Q
collision between q motor car and o
bus, in which two were killed and
four were injured. The evidence in
that instance is that the wreck was
the result of excessive speed on the
part of the smaller vehicle, which
smashed head-on into the larger one
at an intersection. If that Is the
case the person responsible has paid
the penalty of death for his trans
gression.
Over in the Far East political trou-
BILE is caused by the entertainment
and expression of what are known as
dangerous thoughts" radical ideas,
communistic concepts. In this coun-
try the traffic dangers are due to
dangerous lack of thought on the
part of both drivers and pedestrians,
an utter absence of reasoning and
consideration of risks and perils. The
seltishness that excludes any concept
of the rights of others prevails to
lamentable degree. The light jumper,
the swift corner turner, the speeder,
the smart competitor for a few inches
of space to get ahead of the car in
front are examples.
There is no effective remedy for
this evil other than the forfeiture or
suspension Of the license of any driver
who is caught violating rule. re-
gardless Of consequences. Occasional

for 1t save patience and compromise.
The company could well have af-
forded to give away the old pole,
which was worthless, but there was
some sort of rule against such a
donation. Far more value has been
wasted in terms of laborers' wages
than the cost of a pole. On the
one side is personal stubbornness, on
the other corporation inflenbility.
OF course the new pole will eventually
be placed, whatever becomes Of the
old one, and the world will wag on
as before. Meanwhile perhaps enough
publicity will have been given to
the case to get the husband a job.
Which will prove again that 1t pays
to advertise.

Eastman Submits His Plan.
From the Buffalo Evening News.

q
After working for months on q plan
to reorganize and consolidate trans
portation, Joseph B. Eastman, Federal
co-ordinator Of railroads, has sub
mitted the draft of a plan to the
President. It is expected that a bill
embodying it will be introduced as
soon as the Congress convenes in
January and will be put through while
White House control is still relatively
firm.
There is great confusion regarding
policies affecting railroads, waterways
and highway carriers. The Eastman
proposal will be enthusiastically re-
ceived by the railroads If 1t calls for
close control of competing transporta-
ton services and provides way by
which railroads can increase theiI
revenues.
There Is persistent rumor in Wash.
ington of the imminent creation of .
Department of Transportation with
secretary at its head, who would have
place in the cabinet. This officer
would coordinate and regulate al
transportation, directly under thd
President instead of under Congress
Such New Deal plan probably would
be hailed by the radical forces as a
step toward Government ownership.

To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the hQltor OF lne Star.
The present textile strike, accom-
panied by picketing and violence
against life and property, which is
apparently receiving support and en-
couragement in certain influential
quarters, suggests the propriety of
the discussion of some of the con-
stitutional principles in relation thereto,
especially during this week, which is
being devoted to discussion Of the
Constitution.
The age-old question Of the right to
life, liberty and property has again
arisen and assumed q position in the
front line of argument. This right has
been asserted throughout human his
tory as a fundamental and inalienable
right of man, and it was thought to
have been finally established, in this
country at least, when it was recog-
nized in our Constitution and its vio-
lation prohibited.
In view of the fact that the con-
duct of the present strike is denial
Of the constitutional guarantee Of the
right to life, liberty and property
and is threatening all three, some
little discussion of the issues would
seem timely.
What are the activities Of these
strikers? First, picketing with the
object of preventing others from work.
ing who wish to, and thus coercing
the employers, and second, violence
against life and property when picket
ing fails, with the same objects in
view.
These acts violate the liberty Of the
employers and of those who are willing
to work and involve also the rights
of property. In proof of this, let US
discuss briefly the meaning Of the
word liberty" as used in the Con-
stitution. 1t was not used in any
narrow sense. 1t embraces all the
natural rights of man, such, for ex-
ample. as freedom of locomotion, free
dom of contract with respect to the
ordinary and usual matters of daily
life and intercourse, private owner
ship of property, with security in
the possession and in the use thereof:
the right to engage in the pursuit
Of any and all legitimate business and
professional undertakings for pleasure
or profit, without let, hindrance or
interference, except in so far as such
pursuits may be affected with a public
interest, and which may be, therefore,
subject to governmental regulation for
the public welfare, such, for example,
as the operation of railroad and
other public utilities.
The liberty to engage in legitimate
business, free from coercion, molesta-
ton or interference by others, is un-
questionably a right recognized in
and guaranteed by the Constitution.

@. Which tire on an automobile
first shows signs Of wear?-A. S.
A. Mechanics say that unless the
tires are Systematically changed about,
the right rear tire of an automobile
usually shows the first signs OF wear.
@. What causes rain to fall?-W. T.
A. The actual falling OF rain re-
suits from the fact that additional
condensation takes place on the
drops of water already formed and
suspended In the cloud. They grow
in size and become too heavy to be
retained in the air and fall down as
rain.

rigidly fixed in that position.
@. Would q mummy turn to ashes

A, It would remain in the condi-
ton in which it was found for some
