, The lives of the saints and
the history of the church are
held up to mockery and deri-
sion. The Miracle of Cana in
Galilee and the Last Supper
are represented as disgusting
revels. Agents of Gay-Payoo
spat upon the pictured face of
Jesus and held up the Machine
as the true god of mankind.
Nobody will ever know how
many victims were dragged to
shame and torture and appall-
ing death by the secret agents,
whether they operated under
the old name, "Cheka," or
under their present designa-
ton, Gay-Payoo.
All of these facts and much
more should have been known
must have been known
when the suave Litvinoff turned
up in Washington to promise
hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of trade annually: the
repayment of just debts owed
to our Government and to
American citizens; and to
promise, especially, that the
Soviet government would IRE
strain all persons in govern
ment service and all organiza-
tons in receipt of any finan-
cial assistance from it, for
any act, open or covert, liable
IN any way whatsoever to in
jure the tranquility. prosperity,
order or security of the whole
or any part of the United
States. and, in particular,
from any act tending to incite
or encourage armed interven-
ton.
Although Presidents Wilson,
Harding. Coolidge and Hoover
had refused to recognize the
Russian government, although
such distinguished Americans
as Charles Evans Hughes had
expressed opinions of the char
acter Of the Russian tyrants,
Litvinoff'S Specious promises
prevailed, and the papers of
recognition were signed.
THE SMALL END
What did we get? Well, we
got what the United States
usually gets in dealing with any
self-seeking European nation.
We got the little end of the
stick; instead of even one hun
dred million dollars worth of
trade, we got something like
fifteen million dollars worth.
Instead of getting back the
debts owed us, we received the
inSolent suggestion that these
debts might be paid If the
United States would grant a
loan of at least twice their
value. And finally, on top of
all, comes the frank suggestion
of the Comintern of ways and
means of bringing about revo-
luton in the United States and
the overturn of the American
Government.
And the most recent echo, as
we know, is the incredibly, in
solent response of the Acting
Foreign Commissar that he
would even decline to receive
the just and reasonable protest
of our State Department. AS I
have written, one hates to say
81 told you So" but, really. the
temptation is irresistible.

This was the time when the
Soviet and the secret police de-
clared war on God Almighty
and pursued that war with
bloody relentlessness.
SHAME AND TORTURE
The prosecutions failed to
eradicate religion in Russia. It
is true that it actually strength
ened it. It is true that the
church was cleansed of luke
warm adherents. And the time
came when even the secret pc.
lice realized the futility of muir
der.
Confiscations. imprisonments,
and brutal ridicule of sacred
ritual and objects we're substi-
tuted for the firing squad, To-
day, in Russia. religion is de-
rided by the Gay-Payoo as a
product of human stupidity
and ignorance.

Under the false pretenSe that
it is in conformity with a prin-
ciple enunciated by President
Roosevelt soon after he entered
the White House, radicals are
preparing to make common
cause with the Communists on
the campuses of nearly 800 uni
versities and colleges throughout
the country.
These radicals are nesting in
the Federal City within a stones
throw of the White House. They
are using the Presidents name
without his consent and the
United States mails without the
consent of the people to incite
American school and college
leaders to organize a seemingly
Seditious movement to abolish
the Reserve Officers Training
Corps, which is a vital unit of
the national defense, and the
Citizens Military Training
Camps which is a vital agency
in the training of American
youths for national citizenship.
These radicals boast that they
have the assistance in their sap
ping expedition against the com.
mon defense of a group of par
tlclpating" and cooperating"
organizations with national
membership.

lot of Reds" are buns, but on
the other hand there are a lot
of pretty smart people in the
organization. Some of my
friends. who have already been
graduated, can't get Jobs at all,

there is certainly something

no harm in studying any organ

So what? Before you give
your answer or pass on mine,
remember this:
UNDER OUR CONSTITU-
TON AND LAWS IT'S LEGAL
TO HAVE A COMMUNIST1C

TO BE A COMMUNIST.
Regardless of how we feel
about Communistic activities
and most of us feel PLENTY!
We've no more right. LEGALLY,
to forbid Communistic discus
sions than we have to forbid
Republican or Democratic dis
cussions.
COMMON SENSE
And We only place ourselves
on a par with our lawbreakers
if we defy this law. So, before
we start dislodging the other
fellow from HIS position, maybe
we'd better do a little tinkering
on our own. Decide, for in
stance, where sentimentality
should cease and common sense
begin!
In the meantime, what are we
going to do about hot-blooded,
inquisitive Youth? You can't
keep youngsters from wanting
to know what the world is all
about. Nor can you keep agi-
tators from trying to tell them,
and enlisting their service. We,
by those same laws, have opened
the door to them.

That's just the trouble. They're
so smart that you won't be able

the Communist won't tell you

everything about the European

He uses our words but he
hasn't the slightest conception

comes inevitable suspicion and

Government Service

The American Federation of Government Employees which

on year which there has been great Improvement in the
working conditions its members and of other Federal workers
who are not members of this organization.
And in looking back the Federation take just pride
in the fact that has played important part in bring
ing about the noteworthy Improvement.
Under the leadership of President Claude Babcock the
Federation has alert and dgent in seeking elevation Of
the status of the Government worker while at the time
seeking to INSURE TO THE TAXPAYER MORE Eff

There has, however, during the last year been ob"rous
alarming tendency in the Government 'er0lce to cost

efficient Government.
R after blow has been dealt the merit system and this
fact has undenay tended lower the respect Of the country
for great body of men and women IN the Government
service.
It pleasure to record that the American Federation Of
Employees has consistently fought to maintain and
extend the merit system.

The state highway department prom
ised to gravel the road some time ago
but so far nothing has been done.
Secretary Hoef1er was instructed to
bring the matter to the attention of
Commissioner Elsberg and also to
again remind the commissioner of other
road promises made That something
is contemplated on the three miles of
paving between here and the junction
with the Grant Manhattan Boulevard
west of town is evident in the fact that
engineers are now making surveys and
establishing grades on this stretch.
The sentiment of the members
seemed to be that after this three
miles is paved the balance of the road
between here and Tower should be
paved all at one time and thus obviate
the desperate detours required for
years while small sections of the road
are being paved.

a plant at Rabbit for the manufacture
of artificial iron ore of high grade
the product being designated as sinter.
It looks much like coke. Crushed
rock is byproduct of the manufacture
of this sinter.
The plant of the Mesabi Iron Com
pany was put in commission in 1923,
and while its product met with ex-
pectations it was impossible to make
contracts for sufficient tonnage to make
it profitable to operate continuously.
After operating for year the plant was
shut down and has been idle ever since.
Plans for stepping capacity up to 800
tons daily were under consideration
during the period of activity. The idea
is widespread that Mesabi Iron company
was forced to discontinue production be-
cause prices of iron ore were not
high enough to make it profitable, but
it is claimed that it was question of
market. The following explanation on
that interesting point is made by a
man qualified to speak:
"The Mesabi Iron company could
compete with most of the other iron
mines in the Lake Superior region, pro-
vided its plant is operated on a large
enough scale. 1t has never been a
question of cost or price of ore, but
wholly a question of market with the
Mesabi Iron company. The plant would
have to operate on large scale and a
market would have to assured for at
least 10 years under contract, something
quite impossible in the last few years
Worked on basis of say 100000 tons
per year, the cost per unit of iron laid
down in Cleveland would be as low as
that made by any of the open pit
mines, even lower"
The winning of the magnetic of the
Mesabi Iron company is a quarrying
proposition. Upon the surface of much
of the rock there is no over-burden at
all, and it is shallow at any point

similar meeting was helo at Grand
Marais on Tuesday evening and the re-
sort owners in that district contacted
At the meeting with the Arrowhead
officials, program embodying the
spraying of the trees was discussed as
the only possible means of curbing the
worm menace. MIR. Harmon, in speak
ing of the matter said: "there is a vast
abundance of new eggs being located all
over the territory. Unless nature and
the government combine to control the
army worm it will be even more de-
structive than year ago."
He said the worms number as high
as 1000 to the tree in the Superior
The total figures run into the billions
throughout the area. He also ex-
planned that an early spring which
would cause the worm to mature more
rapidly, followed by a frost of several
days would kill off large majority of
the moths.
Such a contingency is not assured
however, and the only other method of
curbing the pest would be by spraying
the trees with arSenate of lead Solu-
ton. The affected area embraces
about 10000 acres in the forest at pre-
sent. The poison to be used figures to
about 81 per acre besides twice as much
more for the work in spraying.
At the meeting in this city a week
ago Monday, these costs were considered
and it was decided to request congress
to make an appropriation to defray ex-
penSes. The tentative decision was also
arrived at to ask for poison and help
to protect the fifty or more resorts in
the Ely and Vermilion lake districts.
According to adviceS the CCC forces
are available for this work.
While it was the general opinion that
nature and parasites would in time take
care of the worm evil, there was no
actual assurance that this would follow
i'm time to save the birch and poplar
trees in the territory affected. Hence
it was decided to make a determined
effort to have the government do all in
it's power to curb the worm in the terri
tories already affected and if possible
prevent the spread to other parts.
