BOSTON, March 6 GN.s).
The reputation Of Cincinnati as
''the best governed city in the
United States" can be attributed
in part to the proportional
method Of electing it's city council
and the preferential plan Of Sc
lecting the mayor. the legislative
committee on cities was today in
formed by Walter F. Millard, Of
Hampton, Ohio, nationally recog-
nized authority on the system.
He outlined the plan in connec-
ton with legislation which would

The Washington Times Of yes
terday carried two stories on it's
front page-one, the story OF
Andrew Melons two children,
to whom he gave the staggering
sum of 100 million dollars; the
other, the story Of man, job
less, alone and unable to bury
his wife, who had just died at
Gallinger Hospital.
And we wonder why we have
all the "isms" and crime!
The principles Of government,
as laid down by our forefathers,
are sound, sane and just, but
we are as far away from them
as heaven is from earth.
Naturally a peaceful people,
we Of America are not Com
munistic. But rebellion is brew
ing-that is plain to everyone.
Life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness" means honest
work, a living wage and not the
dole and q dictatorship.
We are at the crossroads. The
great middle class has been pa
tient. Will it continue to be?
It represents the backbone Of
the nation, and that means q

pen prostitute when a worker assailed him for
his lies about the Soviet Union.
Amen" echo Isaac Don Levine, Gareth
Jones and the rest of the dogs William Ran
dolph Hearst has rounded up in his kennels,
from where they howl long and loudly about
starvation in the Soviet Union"
Any publisher with money can buy up "in-
tellectuals" of the type of Durant, Levine and
Jones by the hundreds. For few hundred dol
lars these men will repeat any lie put in their
mouths.
Yet there are still many writer's and artists
who attach too much of premium to honesty
and their regulations to repeat Hearst's filth.
Men like H. G. Wells, Roman ROLAND and
Henri Barbusse, all of whom have toured the
Soviet Union extensively, testify to the great
ness of the triumph won by the Russian work
ers
But in the face of all the testimony brought
forth by honest commentators on the security
enjoyed by the Soviet workers and peasants,
Hearst's bought liars continue to spout Islander
and venom at the USSR.

Smash Anti Working Class

Partial answer is found in the new program
of the Legion in the State of Washington. Be
hind front of characterization" the plan is:
l. To bar the Communist Party from the
ballot in the state of Washington.
2. To block the enactment Of Initiative a,

ance Bill, in the present session OF the legisiat
ure.
3. To prevent repeal of the states criminal
syndicaiism" law.
Comment on such program is almost I'M
necessary. 1t strikes at the very foundations
of the labor movement; to our STANDARDS OF
living; at our fundamental rights OF free speech,
press and assembly; at our right to belong to
any political party we choose at the rlght OF
. labor organizations to exist legally.
Unemployment insurance-genune unem-
ployment insurance-is the immediate need for
all the people. Trade unions unemployed organ
izations, liberal individuals of note and 5O,OOO
voters officially back the measure the Legion
opposes Initiative A.
Attack on this bill is, if anything, worse
than any of the other program points.

Europe Today
Armed, Hungry
Fort Nearing

Prof. Scott Nearing, lecturer
and author, contrasts condi-
tions in Europe with those in
the Soviet Union.
As told to Hackfield Thomas
If you had been in Moscow
two years ago and then returned
today, you'd be lost. New pave
ment and street widening is go
ing on everywhere, old buildings
are being torn down and new
ones erected on their founda-
tions. Two new hotels are now
finished-200O rooms each-facing
each other across a street.
A foodstuffs department store
nearly a block square is jammed
with workers buying, buying ev-
cry minute of the day. Its bake
shop alone offers customers 80
varieties of bread alone. The
meat department has 100 kinds
of preserved meat. The depart
ment stores are always packed
with customers.
Fascists Fear Radios
For instance, l had to wait in
line six deep at a radio parts
counter to buy some gadgets for
a friend. Contrast this with Ger
many-all radios are licensed,
and the first question the fascist
government asks you when you
cross the border is, have you got
a radio?" The fascists are more
afraid of radios than of guns. A
Soviet radio broadcasting sta
ton, the most powerful in Eu-
rope, broadcasts day and night
in every language.
The German people are learn
ing bad thinking from listening
to these Russian broadcasts, al
though the fascist stations try
to drown them out.
In Vienna | visited a depart
ment store. The place was de-
serted and the lights turned off.
A clerk came forward out of the
shadows, bowed, turned on the
lights and got me what | want
ed. AS l left, he turned off the
lights again. The people in vi
emma have nothing to buy with.
Talk in English
l visited a friend in a small
German town. He met me at the
train. I'VE won't talk here he
said, at the depot. We walked
down the tracks and took a
round about way to his house.
well talk only in English here"
he said as we walked.
We got to his house. I'VE won't
talk at all here" he warned. Il
don't trust my neighbors." Then
we walked to the top of a nearby
hill, he looked all around, then
said, Now we may talk"
In Italy, as in Germany, there
are armed guards everywhere.
Truly the fascist governments are
at war with the people.
In Germany only the high
school youth are patriotic and
flag-wavers. The men, 20 to IS
years old, face a bitter present
and future of war and unemplOy-
ment, and they know it. They
are kept out of the cities, and
can't go on relief unless they've
served one year on the farms.
Forced Labor
They are distributed like cat
tie to the rich and middle peas
ants who receive a small subsidy
from Hitler for working them.
The unemployed in turn, receive
spending money for working 16
hours a day. If they don't work
for a year-no relief! Let them
starve.

No one need fool himself as to
where the Russian workers are
going. They will certainly get
there If all other nations will
leave them alone.
One thing they don't want is
war, as that would retard the
progress they are making.
The real Russians are very nice
people and it's surprising the
knowledge that some of them
do have, after being held down
so long. Most of them can read
and write now, and they know all
about the conditions in every
other country.
In fact, the rising generation
in Russia knows more about
world conditions than the av-
erage citizen of any other coun-
try.
The rising generation are the
ones the Party depends on to
carry the thing through, the old
people they know can never be
changed and they don't trouble
with them.
The workers in the mill sur
prised me how they took hold OF

started about $50 RPM. and
kept raising them little every
week until We got them up to
1000 RPM. and they handled
everything very good. | stayed
with them a year after the ma
chimes were both making paper.
Everything ran along exception
ally well. OF course the sheet
of paper is not so good or as
clean as required here but they
are not worrying about that at
present. AS long as it is paper
and they can print on it, it's OK.
Maybe you have seen the Mos

of the editors. | saw her a few
times in Moscow but never talk
ed to her.
This mill itself was built of re-
mfor{ed concrete, constructed
entirely by the Russians, so they
are not dumb by any means.
They certainly surprised me the
way they built it. Ferguson, the
New York consulting engineer,
builds paper mills and power
plants, came in there one day
just looking things over on a
trip through the country, he said
it was a wonderful job they had
done and they deserved a great
deal of credit for doing the job
as we'll as they did in such back
ward country, and that applies to
the whole country. They have
built some very big factories all
over the country.
Twas out at the laying of the
foundation stone Of the auto
mobile plant IL miles from Nj
jinovgorsk and ! went again in
IS months and the plant was
all ready for machinery. It took
us two hours just to ride around
the outside Of the buildings and
look a few things over. It's an
enormous plant, a little bigger
than the Ford plant in Detroit.
It was designed from the Ford
plant by Russian engineers in
Detroit working in conjunction
with Ford engineers.
