Professors who make the wen ring with their claims that
they teach and preach Communism under the right of free

Immediate Restoration
The First Act of Congress

One of the first pieces business which should be taken
by Congress meeting today the matter of eliminating the
last of the Government pay cut.
This matter URGENT not only for effect upon the
hundreds thousands of Government employees and their de-
pendent but for the wholesome effect would have upon
country
Immediate restoration Of the per cent of their salaries Of
which Government workers deprived would be signal
to the entire Nation that the Government HAS CONFIDENCE
IN THE STEPS WHICH 1T IS TAKING TOWARD RE-
COvERY
Such action would lead the way for business and industry
duplicate the action of the Government and shove ahead the
salaries and wages of those in private employ.
Congress made BIG STEP FORWARD in this direction
during it's last session. when insisted upon partial restoration
Of the Government workers salaries.
The 10 per returned that time undoubtedly helped
along in the progress which the country has made
This progress which everybody glad to see has Just about

President Roosevelt has indicated that he will oppose

Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

Love is like Honor or Cour-
age-a dim dream fumbling to-
ward the light through our
darkened consciousness.
We are still so little better,
you and I, than apes walking
on their hind legs!
But something burns in us
something the ape never had
which drives us on to decency
and graciousness beyond our
feeble comprehension.
What does it profit us to tell
the truth-or to be brave? Ere
gently very little. Often much
grief and humiliation.
Yet would an intelligent hui
man being say that Honor or
Courage do not pay? No mat
ter how bitter the price, We
KNOW that it is better to tell
the truth, it is better to be brave.
We may lose money and friends
thereby.
But we have gained something
within ourselves which compen.
safes for any loss.
Love is like that. Always, it
costs.
Sometimes it costs terribly. It
wrecks our most cherished
dreams-ruins our peace-ex-
poses us to endless worry and
weariness-breakS our hearts,
many a time.
BUT 1T ALWAYS PAYS3
CHALLENGE
No matter how the personal
experiment turns out-though it
ends in betrayal or in death
if you have really loved, you are
the wiser, the stronger, the
richer, the more tender for it.
Though it leave your hand
empty, love has put priceless
treasure into your brain, inn
measurable power into your
spirit.
ana Gne more abundantly
and recklessly you love, the
greater the return.
LOVE IS WHAT YOU MAKE
1T. YOU GET OUT OF TT
WHAT YOU PUT INTO TT.
If out Of love you find only
selfish grief, it is because you
have put only selfish pleasure
into it.
But if you will regard love as
you would undertake Honor or
Courage, as a great challenge to
all that is finest within you,
then no matter what the out
come, LOVE WILL PAY.

Is Act of Vandalism

} great many gallows and America
some of the best and most loyal
citizens it has ever had.
Now great social upheavals do
not manifest themselves in the
deeds of a few individuals.
They are really an entirely diff.
ferent mode of thinking, an en-.
tirely new philosophy Of life,
which makes itself felt in every
detail of our daily existence.
That is why mere laws and
parchments can never suppress
a movement that has taken hold
of mans soul.
The Romans discovered that
when they spent four centuries,
trying to stamp out Christian
1ty. The Inquisition discovered
it when it tried to save the
world from the Reformation.
The English discovered it when
they tried to prevent Mr.. JEFF
ferson and his friends from
preaching the new doctrine of
mans equality. And in the
fortieS of the last century,
Prince Metternich discovered it
when he tried to put a stop to
the rising tide of democracy
with the help Of his trusty
hangmen.
But it was a long and bitter
struggle and Gust as in our
own day. one was either a New
Dealer or one was not. And it
was difficult to disguise ones
true sentiments, whether one
was a butcher, a baker, a mu-
Sician or an artist.
Richard Wagner, born in
1913, the year that saw the
downfall Of Napoleon, belonged
to the advance guard of the
New Dealers. He went SO far
as to believe in the unity of
his German Fatherland. His
music was an indirect form of
propaganda for that united
Germany which had disap-
peared from the face Of the
earth during the late Middle
Ages.
COURAGEOUS
Hence his music was anath-
ema to all the faithful adher.
entS of the House of Haps-
burg, who were willing to sacri-
flee the last Of their subject
races to prevent such a thing.
And aided and abetted by the
musical critics of the "allerun-
tertanigste" newspapers (duly
kept in submission by the I'm,
perial and Royal Apostolic Sc
cret police) every theater in
Vienna was closed to the music
Of this "third-rate musical anna
teur," and was kept closed.
Only one man had the cour-
age to diSobey the Imperial in
terdict. That was Johann
Strauss. And with a generosity
that deserves our everlasting
gratitude, he played excerpts
of Wagner between the blue
Danube" and wine, Woman
and Song" in the beer garden
where he used to give his own
concerts.
ANY man courageous enough
to defy the Hapsburg police Of
that age for the sake of an idea
should be treated with great con-
Sideration.
Please, Mr.. Ford, will you tell
your musicians to give us a lot
of Strauss waltzes, but lock.

tations. And in return, if you
ever come to Riverside, I will

Top and bottom had lived in

than any other experience. Are
we wise to let it strike?
Here comes one wondering
"even as you and l."
Dear Elsie Robinson:
If you say that IF you love
bravely and beautifully your
heart will be the richer every
hour for that outpournig."
I loved like that-all my
world centered on one person.
I was the happiest person in
the world, for a little while.
And then my loved one was
taken from me. Now love is
gone. What have you to say
that could possibly comfort
me? D. M. B.
BUT LOVE HASN'T GONE!
The loved one may go-but
love itself does not go unless,
by our own cowardice and stu
pidity, we drive it away.
SPIRITUAL
Love is not a bond between
one person and another per.
son.
If love were only an affec-
tion for a sweetheart, a pas
sion for a mate, a devotion for
ones child, then. no matter
how great your ecstasy, it would
be no better, no higher, than
any other selfish human ap'
petite.
But love, real love, is not a
private hunger.
Nor does it depend on per-
Sonal possession.
Love. is spiritual function
a process of civilization.
