Possibly the temporary Gus

the rehashing of a tax bill a pa
triotic affair and the two gentle
men who represent something or
another, as most excellent ex-
amples of patriotism.
AS the debate or jaw-fest, was
instigated, so | am reliably in

small-lords = the farmer-labor
party leaders-and as other meet
ings have been held in the build
ing recently denied Post 8, of the
American Legion, that were none
too secretly under the sheltering
wing of the communist party, one
is forced to the conclusion that
what St. Paul needs badly is en-
lightenment on the part of its
commissioner. The gentleman
appears to have his ideas multi
gained.
If the patriotic organizations
and societies of St. Paul and the
state will spend a few moments
of their time and possibly a doz-

Warren that American Legion

will be once more recognized by
the super-egoed commissioner, as

And / wonder if so few prom

too. In fact, | am confident that
so few were.
And not being young, | can re-
member another war fought by
boys-all wars are fought by kids
in their teens and not too-many
teens at that-and this other and
older war was fought to Stree
Cuba for the sugar trust.
There weren't as many prom

lies told, simply because there
weren't so many liars and not
nearly so many boys to tell lies
to!
These faded, but never obliter-
ated, pictures flash in my memory
too often for comfort. They
came trooping out of the past one
day last week when a message
came to me over the phone that
Commissioner H. E. Warren of
St. Paul, had refused American
Legion Post, No. 8, the further
use of the public safety building
unless the Post paid rent-which
it was unable to do.
I don't know the name of a
single member of that Post, but
I know this:
Eighteen years ago when they
were being herded into boxcars
and bivouacked in pup-tent can

shacks, when they slept under
synthetic wool blankets and were
clothed, in material from which,
if the graft had been squeezed,
they'd have had nothing left ex-
cept the buttons, had they asked
for a corner in that public build
ing they would have been told /:
"Never mind, boys, just go and
lick the Kaiser, come back and
you can have the entire building.
And if you want it refnished in
Italian marble with gold door
knobs and imported tapestry, say
the word and we'll have it all
ready for you. You do the fight

For the benefit of the few un-
thinking clergymen who may be
inclined to believe that commit
nism has common ground with
Christianity and desire to speak
out of turn in defense of com
munism, let's quote Elizabeth
Dilling
"Karl Marx, the idol Of Rein
hold Niebuhr, denies the exist
ence of God or Supreme Spirit
in any form. He teaches: the
desirability and unacceptable ne
cessity of class hatred, class rev.
olution, envy and covetousness !,
the abolition of the family unit
and of marriage; the commune
ing of women; state ownership
of children; that matter and
force constitute all of creation
that only materialistic circum-
stance guides destiny, character,
and history that mans spirit is as
material as a chemical efferves
cence or an electric spark which
f1ickers out or rots with the body;
that religion is the opium of the
people, that with the vanishing
of property rights, religion and
morality will vanish, along with
the bourgeois sentimentalities:
that governmental proletarian
dictatorship must be set up by
violence; and that any theory that
the two classes can get together
is only dodge on the part of the
bourgeoisie who wish to avoid
having their Threats cut in a
bloody proletarian revolution"
Christianity teaches, "That
God is the Father of all life; that
the family unit and marriage are
indissoluble; that parents should
love their children and children
honor their parents; that Chris
tians should exercise love and
charity toward their neighbors."
But the siren call of Marxism
to the altruist, who clings. to the
title of Christian for the sake
Of lingering sentiment, or .fnan.
cial or political expediency, is
that it promises to obtain by foul
means a pure, just, CLASHES,
equalitarian society; by means
Of rage and hate to usher in the
reign of brotherly love by means
of plumber and CORY class war to
achieve peace and by means Of
anti-moral propaganda to elevate
mankind"

When they came back to those
gaudy promises they found only
husks-not even eloquent liars.
Just brutal statements. And cold
shoulders and colder hearts.
The city of St. Paul is sup
POSED to furnish free use of its
public building to patriotic or
ganizations.' Perhaps the pres
ent commissioner, Warren,
doesn't consider that American
Legion Post, No. 8, as a patriotic
organization merely a bunch
of buns who can either pay rent
or get out.
At any rate here's the notice
each member of Post 8 received
the other day:

And he isn't closing that build

power, temporary power, to say
who may and may not enter its
portals, linger and converse, and
his ego enlarges. He isn't ex-
actly discriminating = except
when it comes to veterans of the
World War meeting there occa-
sionally. Being custodian of a
public building he permits politi-
cal meetings to be held there

What fun for all the Tiny boys, to bring out all the pretty toys from many little toy shops that were spread around Toyland.
 Wee Dotty and fair Goldy, too, did everything that they could do to help load Santa's sleigh. The old man soon said, "That is grand!
 "You've cleaned out every little shop. My sleigh is loaded to the top, and now I'm ready for my ride up through the misty air.
 "The clouds are gath'ring, and I know that some of them are full of snow. I wouldn't be surprised if it is very cold up there."
 well, dress real warm," said Dotty. Please! Why, if you don't, sir, you might freeze" This made old Santa laugh. Said he, "Now, don't you fret bout me.

 An elf then sprung a big surprise. He brought out, right before their eyes, the very food and drink that Santa Claus had said he'd make.
 "All right" said Santa. '.Eat your fill, but not enough to make you i'll. I do not like to see a youngster get Q tummyache."
 About a half hour passed and then the Tinies started cheering when op Santa shouted, "We1I. goodby," and hopped into his sleigh.

NO American industry represents the
~ strength and inventiveness Of the Amer
lean production system quite as well as does
the auto industry. It is our first industry in
economic Importance, and it is first also in its
hold on the public imagination.
B.. o. in its good points and in its bad ones
it ep.. nizes the peculiar problems which
mass production has presented TO modern so
ciety.
An excellent study OF the industry is to be
found in the report recently submitted to
President Roosevelt by the Henderson commit
tee This report is a closeup picture OF mass
production in all its strength and all its weak
ness As such. it is worth detailed study.
The achievements Of the auto industry are
found to be fairly dazzling. Steadily, year after
year. it has been building better cars for less
money.
In 1925. for instance only 81 per cent Of the
cars produced sold at wholesale for less than
$500: in 1883. 81 per cent we're in that price
class. one large company produced car
day for each "A men employed in 1880; today
its rate is a car a day for each Is men.
The spot and flash welding machine en-
Rbles two men 20 90 What It took SIX weldsrs to
do - 1929. Body framing. which cost So in
1929. costs 20 cents today. 1t cost 60 cents TO
hang door in 1879: today four doors can be
hung for cents.
A whole column could be filled with SINH
lar reports: and they reveal an industry which
has made technical strides Of almost mcred-
IDLE length.
What the auto industry has done in the
way OF efficient exploitation Of the potential
tiles Of modern machinery is one Of the mar
vels of the age.
But the social side Of the picture is less
pleasant The committee finds that after an
auto worker is 40. he l. made to feel that he is
working on borrowed time: II he loses job. his
chances OF getting anothe- are bad.
Intensive competition has spurred the
Sueed-up beyond human capsbility TO produce
day BY day" Hourly earnings are high but
yearly incomes are low; in one company only
so per cent OF the men worked as many as 40
weeks in one year. and only % per cent earned
as much as $500.
We get, then a picture which epitomizes
the great problem OF the mass production age
Tremendous technical advances accompanied
By the creation Of extremely difficult human
problems.
II presents the paramount issue Of our era;
our necessity for making progress in the social
field equal 10 the progress which can be made
In the field OF mechanics.
