Communism VS.. Fascism

Communist, fascist, nazi-the words are on every
tongue these days as people discuss the troubled situation
in Europe and state solemnly that the next great war
will be between communism on one hand and
nazi-fascism on the other, implying that they are dla-
metrically opposed plans, separated in the science OF
government as widely as the two poles.
Yet, looking at the argument from afar through the
medium of what printed information is available on the
subject, it seems that all the glazing, and hatred and
threats of war between communists and fascists is much
ado about nothing. From the standpoint of the man
in the street living under one government or
another there there seems almost no difference between
communism and fascism-
The communist government of Russia, the fascist
reign in Italy and the nazi rule of Germany are all die
tatorships In each, the masses are subjected ts theewill
of one man who has complete control and keeps himself
in power through a combination of military domination
and melodramaic play-acting on the stage OF the world,
keeping his people at all times in a fever pitch of ma
tionalistic excitement.
The nazi dictator Of Germany and the communist
dictator Of Russia stand on their own soils, beat their
breasts with loud thumps and make horrendous faces
at each other across the border, each fostering and play
ing upon the nationalistic passions of his people and
making great TODD about upholding his countrys rights
against the enemy.
On the other side, the nazi ruler struts his army I'M
der the nose of the French, whose government has
"leftist' or communist leanings and is allied with Rus
STA, while the French loudly appropriate added millions
for defense. To the south, fascist Italy, another Dictator
ship and friendly with Germany, exchanges glares OF
hatred with the government of France while in Spain
fascists and communists murder each other in a CORY
civil war to determine whose dictator shall rule.
The argument even has its manifestations in this
country where the communist party fosters an American
League Against War and Fascism which denounces in
much verbiage wars and relationships. The fascists
have not the missionary zeal of Russias communists and
have not-yet, at least-organized in the United States a
fascist party, but if they did the first outgrowth would
probably be a League Against War and Communism.
And that would be just one more case of the pot calling
the kettle black.

ENGINE -. the Corlis,

II was like getting news OF an old
friend when | read in the paper the
other day that Henry Ford has bought
for his Dearborn museum the big Cor
liss engine which was built for the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia
in 1876. My real education began when
my father took me, as a boy of SIX, to
the Centennial; and of all things | saw
there the Corliss engine stands out
FIRST in my memory.
That was partly because George II.
Corliss, its inventor and builder, was
a friend of my fathers and | had been
at his house in Providence. But main
" it was because it was the biggest
piece OF moving machinery l had ever
seen. with its 30-foot hywheel revolv-
ing so smoothly that there was no vi
bration at all.
l remember that my father took a
silver dollar out of his pocket and
stood it on its edge on the horizontal
frame of the engine, and it was not
shaken off.
The Corliss engine, with its 1,4OO
horsepower, would seem like a toy to-
day, but it was the greatest triumph, in
mans attempt to harness natural for
ces that had ever been achieved, go
years ago.

Branding Dangerous Cars

In a European country, the cars of motorists con-
painted with an emblem, as a warning to other drivers.
1t is said that this practice, newly started, has caused
an appreciate decline in dangerous driving, as motor
lists naturally want to avoid the embarrassment
and publicity the emblem gives them
A great many thousand American motorists should
have their cars so branded.
The worst class of offenders consists of those who
push the throttle to the hoorboard as soon as they get
out of sight of a traffic officer. Excessive ~speed-and
there are times when Is miles an hour is excessive-is
responsible for more deaths than any other driving vio-
lation.
Passing on hills and curves and "meandering'
through traffic are also potent causes of death, injury and
destruction. On a myriad tragic occasions, a driver has
tried to save needless minute-at the cost of a life.
Driving on the wrong side of the road, jumping
traffic lights, passing at ntersections-are practices dear
to the heart of the Dark Angel. They help keep our
morgues and hospitals full to capacity.
Yes, it might be a good idea to adopt the branding
practice in this country. A suitable emblem would be a
skull and cross-bones.
The crown of all crowns has been one of thorns.
The average mans ambition is to lower his record.
Sickness is sometimes a mask worn by laznness.
A cracked plate will last as long as a sound one.

HOW THE HEART is OVERLOADED

We are still confronted with state
ments that heart diseases are on the
increase. Look over the column in the
big city papers and note the causes of
death-the list of fatalities, / near.
There were ten deaths recorded in my
ncighbor metropolis yesterday, most Of
them were in the early ffties; 'heart
disease" took most of them.
You are positively guilty of every
crime against your heart, ignorantly, it
may be, but with results just the
same; ignorance Of the law does not
excuse the violator-he must pay the
penalty in full.
Two chief causes are notable in af-
fections Of the heart-infections and

BUTTER a statue

1t amuses me to hear people in the
East speak of states like Iowa, Mime
sofa and Wisconsin as if they were
still raw, unsettled prairie country. l
read somewhere recently an express
sion of surprise at the information hat
Minnesota produces more dairy prod
ucts than any other state, as if that
were something new.
One of my keenest memories of the
1876 Centennial is that of the Butter
Woman" a figure of heroic size, carved
out of butter and standing in a refrig-
Grated glass case in the Agricultural
Building Of the Centennial. That was
Minnesota's chief product 60 years ago,
as it is today.
That was another chapter in my
youthful education. There's nothing

One of the demands for money
which will be made upon the 18th
Congress when it convenes on
January 3, 1887, will be for funds with
which to carry on toward completion
the building program to house federal
workers here.
There never has been a time in re-
cent years when the Government OF
fees were not cramped for space IN
which to house their files and records
and provide adequate d~esk-room air
and light for everybody. Congress has
always been slow to provide money fol
new buildings. AS a result almost ev-
cry department and independent bu-
reau of the Government was over
crowded, and many of them quartered
in rented space or in structures which
can hardly be dignifed by the name of
"shacks."
Major Departments Crowded
Practically all of the activities Of the
Navy Department, for example, are
still conducted in one of the temper
airy" buildings which were constructed
! hastily at the time of the World War.
Even with the Navy crowded out Of
the State, War and Navy building, next
door to the White House, the War De-
partment "overflows" into other rented
buildings.
Perhaps the most crowded of all the
E~Iu.ot 1E,oo. - that of tho Federal
Trade Commission, which occupies
another of the wartime 'shacks." The
Trade Commissions activities have
been expanding enormously in re-
cent years, and now it has had wished
on it the administration of the Robin
son-Patman Act, which promises to
call for some hundreds of additional
workers and acres of storage space for
files and records.
W.P.A. funds are being used to COM
plete the "apex' building Of the Fed
eral Triangle" which will house the
Federal Trade Commission when it is
completed. This will be the nearest to
the Capitol of the great group of white
palaces which have already made of
Washington the most impressive ma
tional capital anywhere in the world;
but the plan under which the present
buildings between Pennsylvania av-
enue and Constitution Avenue have
been built calls for still further con-
struction southwark of The Mall, to-
ward the Potomac, where the Depart
ment of Agriculture with its annexes
is already on the ground, with the
Smithsonian Institution and the Ma
tional Museum.
Planned for Beauty
Eventually, it is expected, the entire
triangle, a mile long and a mile across,
lying between the Capitol at the apex
and Fifteenth Street at the base
bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue
on the North and Maryland Avenue on
the South, will be occupied by Gov
eminent buildings, while to the West
beyond Fifteenth Street, the beautiful
old Treasury Building, the White
House and the State Department
building will remain at the northern
