There you have our civilization
upside down. With us, those nearest

the very top get practically every
thing.

Once such trip might have aroused
envy, but no more. The travelling
salesman, the ''lady buyer" for de-

cross on a bigger, faster, finer boat
than the Corsair at a very reasonable
price.
The wise socialism is that which
gives to the big crowd bigger and
better ships, parks and hotels than
any individual, no matter how rich,
could afford for himself.
| Also, among Americans of the right
kind, man and woman take pride in
improving their own little house or
boat, wasting no time in foolish envy
of others. There is no real happiness
of possession, except in what we earn.
What is the matter with this coun-
try, swindled by assorted gangs of
politicians, robbed by innumerable
gangs of grafters, racketeers, high
waymen, degraded by indecent moving
pictures and other entertainments, the
public peace and faint signs of re-
turning prosperity imperiled by strike
troubles and violence?
Has the United States become a

coined by marching, singing and prais-
'ng citizens in Porto Rico and the Vir-
gin islands, hoped to make the New
Deal reach every corner of the United
States, saying: II believe in better
homes, better living conditions, and a
better chance to earn a living
Everybody believes In those things,

those things permanently.
The widespread attack on disgrace
fully immoral moving pictures has
compelled those that trade in indie
cency to take their minds off the box
office for a moment and consider a
serious danger. The crusade against
indecency, led by the Catholic church
and directed by the Archbishop Of
Baltimore, who began the crusade, has

Herr Hess might have added to his

Everything would run smoothly If
all the United States representatives
and senator's felt as G. Bryant Of West
Virginia feels. A candidate for con-
gress, his platform reads:
II am behind President Roosevelt
all the way. I'll jump off the top Of
the Washington monument if he wants
me to-"
A solid house and senate like that
would make Fascism unnecessary.
