Linked up with the protest, pos

diplomatic quarters that in its sur

aiming merely at inflltrating into
such parties and gaining control Of

world revolution. Orders have been
dispatched to Communist parties all
over the world to cooperate with
liberals against FaScism-in other
words, to 60 on the defensive.
Many speakers have suggested this
as a necessity in view of the spread
of Fascist ideas.
But several of the orators, in

UNBELIEVABLE FACT

II NHERE is something about this crime
castle" at Warwick, R. L. which almost
makes one believe that real life has been
copying the movies.
The whole set-up has a family unreal,
STACEY flavor. An isolated mansion full of
secret compartments in which stolen gems are
concealed; a hidden arsenal for use of high
waymen; a network of understandings and
agreements by which the occupants of this
castle lent helping hand to gangsters en-
gagged in robberies in far-away cities; the hint
that gangland death sentences were passed and
executed in the old house, with the victims
bodies buried somewhere beneath the base
ment-doesn't all this sound more like movie
scenario than sober fact?
Fact. unfortunately, is what it really is.
The whole thing testiies eloquently to the elab-
crate organization and financing Of modern
crime-and to society's need for an equally
well-organized and financed police group to
combat it.

HIGHEST REWARD

TN John T. Flynn's recent discussion Of the
Il plan to control the profits of munitions
makers in war time. there was an extremely
significant little story.
Mr.. Flynn contrasted the war service. and
the monetary rewards of two Americans
Eugene G. Grace and Beno T wirth
Mr.. Grace. as head of the Bethlehem Steel
Corp made ships and steel for Uncle Sans
fighting forces. In the year 1918 ne was paid
. bonus OF slightly more than sl3O0000.
Mr.. Wirth was a metallurgist in the Phila-
oelphia mint. The government needed to
learn how TO make platinum gauze, essen
tial in the manufacture OF up-to-date shells.
and this was German secret which our mu-
nitions makers could not discover
So the problem was handed to Mr.. wirth,
and he proceeded TO solve it-thereby rem
oering TO both government and industry

For this service he received a pay OF $50

PROMISE OF PEACE

IT is encouraging to note that four OF the
most important political groups in Cuba
the Nationalist, Liberals, Marianistas and
MISUNDERSTANDING agreed that constitutional
government should be restored on the island
and that general elections should be held Nov.
l, next.
Even more encours cling is the fact that the
Cuban cabinet has endorsed the plan, and
that the election will actually be held.
Outside observers expected downfall of
the Machado regime to be followed by an
era of peace and freedom. This expectation
has been disappointed, and Cuba has passed
through an unhappy time since then.
If democratic government is to be re-
stored at last, the violence that has been tor
menting the island republic should cease;
and then perhaps, Cuba will be in shape to
join the slow but sure procession back toward
prosperity.

TERROR OF MONEY

ID ELIEF work in the depression has brought
~ many strange human interest stories to
light; but none of them, surely, is any stranger
than the one about the jobless man at Spring
field Mo, who found $4,000 in cash and never
dared spend it.
This man. as you may recall, was on relief
all winter with family of seven children. In
an abandoned cellar on his farm he found a
dusty fruit jar, containing $4,000 in gold notes.
Instead of ending his troubles the find in
creased them. He had heard that gold notes
were no longer legal tender. He feared that, if
he tried to spend the money, he would get into
trouble
So, finally, he rehid the money and stayed
on relief, eking out bare existence-and tor
tured always by the knowledge that riches were
right under his hand, if he only dared use
them.
1t came out all right. at last. He consulted
his landlord. the two went to a lawyer for adj
vice. decided to split the money evenly-and
everything is lovely now. But imagine the
mental strain which that man had to suffer
all winter long

half dozen provincial towns and resulting in
upward of 100 casualties. sounds like some
thing that should have happened 25 years ago.

bloody and costly Philippine Instruction"
There is, however. a vital difference. The
insurrectos of a generation ago were fighting
for lost cause. They had no chance to gain
the freedom they demanded.
Today. however, freedom is actually within
sight. To gain it, patriotic Filipino needs
not courage, but simple patience.
That factor should make all the difference

the rewards to which munitions makers are
entitled are concerned. 1t points it so clear
ly that nothing further needs to be said.
But IL also has a peace-time application
It IS simple and obvious refutation Of one
OF the hoariest lies in human annals-the as
sertion that self-interest is the only thing
that will make talented man exercise his
abilities 10 the fullest.
There are a good many things that can
make man give every ounce Of his energy
and ability to the job at hand, but the most
compelling motive Of all is one we usually
forget about-the simple fact that he does
it because he likes to.
To possess some special ability in any
form of human activity is not merely to enjoy
a privilege; it is to feel the urge of duty, also
the blind but unacceptable duty to exercise
that ability to its fullest.
There is a queer quirk in human nature
unless he is kept busy at the kind of thing
he can do best.
That is true in all fields of activity. Musi-
clans and baseball players. steel plant execu-
tives and novelists. ship captains and farm
ers-they find their chief reward in the do
ing Of the job and not in the pay check.
To pretend that you can not get a man of
talents to exercise those talents unless you
give him more money than he can possibly
spend is to libel human nature.

Chief Morrissey ordered all his
men, excepting just a few of his
exceptionally bright men, to stay
out of places in which law violations
are most likely to occur, the major
portion of our police department is
compelled not to see or hear what
! goes on around them.
/ This most peculiar order which
! places the work of all the depart
ment in the hands of a handful of
police, has had the effect of increas-
ing violations of the laws.
At any rate, beer tayerns which
open on Sunday, pool rooms and
kindred businesses are violating the
liquor, gambling and other laws
which are being given special atten-
ton by the chiefs special squad
An amusing aspect of the enforce
ment Of the laws covering prostltu-

those laws are not molested while
hundreds of arrests have been made
of alleged street-walkers who have
been dismissed in the courts on the
days following their arrests. The

1 would like to report this Incl
dent to the Chief of Police through
this column. A few nights ago,
while visiting relatives in the east
part Of the city, observed one of
the blind and deaf squads stop IN
front of a poolroom on E. 1Oth-st.
where I am reliably informed poker
and rhum with dominoes are in
dulged in. This squad was headed
by lieutenant. The driver of the
car sounded his horn and in a few
minutes the proprietor Of this pool
room came to the police car and
after short conversation returned
to his place Of business. When he
again emerged he brought with him
cigars and cigarets for the whole
squad. Upon receipt of the smokes
the squad slowly drove away to the
west to enforce the law at some
other place.
If the chief desires witnesses to
this incident, they will be furnished
him.
