NEWSPAPERS OPINION
rue Reds MAKE The ISSUE CLEAR


aRerrssen natives of Communist parties in, more
than fifty countries at the recent Communist inter-
rational Congress in Moscow agreed completely
upon the point that they must support loyalty and
without criticism the form of government esta@-
lished in Soviet Russia, and must hold up this form
If Government as a model for their own countries.
Their acceptance of this point is of far more
significance than may be generally realized by
this agreement international Communism has been
Unanswered by the Russian Communist party into
support of one form of the totaitarian state of
all-powerful state machine backed by huge army
and an active political police, which frankly repu-
dates political decomcracy and freedom of speech
or the press and gathers all political and economic
power into the hands of few men who control
the state through party machine that toerates no
opposition. International Communism thus breaks
completelv with true Socialism, which has entirely
different ideals and aims
Rv their blanket approval Of Russian Bolshevism,
international Communists have clarified the issue
Tor workers in all parts of the world They have
declared: 'The Boshevik government OF Russia IS
our ideal If you want that form OF government,
you must support If you do not want 1t, you
have no place in the Communist party" The clari-
cation of this issue is extremely useful 1t enables
citizens in democratic countries to face the ques-
ton whether they willing to yield to small
ruling group absolute powers Of life and death
over every man, woman and child in the country.
The motives of the ruling group should not be
permitted to obscure the issue; whether Russias
despots are sincere and benevolent Is beside the
point Few impartial observers will deny that Rus
sian Bolshevism has created form of despotlsm,
under which thousands of men and women have
been executed without trial. sent into years of en-
lie or put to forced labor on vague charges that
they are ''class neemies" No careful student can
doubt that Russian trade unions and cooperative
societies have become mere vassals of the state,
completely at the mercy of the controlling party
machine. 1t is the state, not the workers and peas
ants which controls and operates all factories all
farms
International Communists have clearly put the
question to every thinking citizen of democratic
country: Do you or do you not wish to create in
your country despotic state machine? The issue
is clear and unmstakable-The Christian Science

AUTUMN CALLS TO VISITORS

large number of our Summer residents ana

homes by the demands of business, the
opening of the schools and other matters.
It is unfortunate for everyone concerned
that they cannot remain here for the Au-
tumn season. The Times-News unites with
the citizens of Hendersonville and this Sec
ton in hoping that all who can do so will
extend their stay in the mountains. We
can wish them no greater good fortune
than the opportunity to remain here al
least until December. ".j ......-
Some people are driven south from tn"

from down South" have learned about
the glorious weather and glorious beauty
of the mountains in the Autumn and have
been repaid a thousand times forthe little
discomfort encountered in climate to
which they are not accustomed. -
Citizens of this mountain country are al
most unanimously of the opinion that AL
tumn is the finest season of the year. Sum
mer is fine, Winter is enjoyed by those who
love the cold days, but the weather, the

Usually they succeed.
BUSINESS pressures on the. navy
IL in connection with it's specifi-
cations for the many things il
buys are constant, which means
a constant warfare between lobby
lists here. F. Russell Bichowsky,
former navy scientist, writes in
us the Navy Ready?" that the
navy is sold its material by "high-
pressure" craftsmanship.
Absolving officers from taking
brides, he suggests that "a good
party" will attain the same end,
plus realization that young naval
officers may be able to make valu-
able contacts with large manu-.
featuring concerns which they can
use after leaving the service.
Bichowsky says this results in too
many "gadgets" for ships, in.
ferior quality for naval materials,
and rapidly increasing ship costs.
BASS Drum" Shearer, some
times credited with breaking up
the Geneva naval conference
while working for shipbuilders,
and who takes credit for a $740,-
600, 900 naval. program, still gets
along well with the admirals and
says they once, at any rate, used
him for propaganda campaigns.
THE army also buys a lot of
l. stuff 1t was the field of Joe
Silverman, who says he spent
most of 100000 on "liuuor.
flowers, and gambling with army
officers" Joe's game was buying
up surplus war supplies cheap
and he made millions at it.
Joe Silverman was always
chubby, ingratiating business man
who had a monopoly on surplus
supplies and more friends in the
War Department than anyone else
outside. He called generals and
officials by their first name. He
also has pull on Capitol Hill.
Senators Copeland, Barbour, and
Reynolds once wrote the War De-
partment on his behalf.
