The constitutional guaranty of free speech, and the right of fran chise is materially impaired when the citizen is deprived of an op- portunity to eat, to be clothed, and to be sheltered. One of the goals of Social Justice is decent home for every American, and that in- cludes our friends the communists. We are not laboring for one class of people, but for the general welfare of all Americans.
 No man is free unless he has food and clothing and a home that fortifies him in security and enables him to speak and to worship and to vote unshackled by poverty, hunger, and fear.
 In regards to Wm. Lemke's stand on an annual wage, be advised that the United Mine Workers of Amer ica, and the American Federation of Labor, two of the largest labor or ganizations in the United States have endorsed Wm. Lemke as 100 per cent for labor. Wm. Lemke's record in Congress is one of action, not of words.
 Father Coughlin has always ad- vocated a living annual wage and he has always advocated that it is the responsibility of the, govern ment to help labor organize and to secure an annual wage by proper legislation if necessary. Ss
 To abolish profit and property as some suggest, and substitute by force another state, where every one own all, and none own any, is no solution for this problem. The Solu- tion will never be found in the furis of the Red Flag of Communism. A living wage promoted publicly will create a correct public con- science which will cryStalize in a rising demand to be inbedded in law and to be supported ty a sym- pathetic government for a more equitable division of profit.
 With a rebirth of personal ethical standards of justice, individual in- itiative can do much, industrial CO., operation, moved by correct public conscience, can do much more: and governing power, likewise enlighten- ed and that is why the National Union is stressing on the election of Congressmen so they can super wise mildly the desired change. This is Social Justice-the project of the National Union-we want to accom- plish these things patiently, peace fully and permanently.
 A living wage is the plea of F'r, Coughlin in advance of enforced social reform. 1 If we cannot secure these rights peacefully through the medium of @he ballot, then, it is our right un- der the Constitution to petition for a new government, and new guards.
 The hope of America is in pro- gress and in liberalism. Fate has given us matchless, progressive leaders. They have dared to espouse the cause of the Forgotten Man. Reaction, privilege, and greed are arrayed against them in, the ap- preaching campaign, the most irn- portant economic struggle that has ever faced America. S

War Stripped of Glamour

A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the day when Jeb Stuart rode off to battle with plume in his hat, player at his side, and a scarlet lined cloak floating from his broad shoulders. Since then, war has had the glamour rubbed off; it has lost that in- definable combination of heroic attitudes and visible, conscious heroiSm which went by the name of romance; it has grown, to use the old expression, as ugly as home made sin. And the proof of this lies in, public reaction to the war news from Spain.
 What we are getting from Spain seems to be glimpse at mankind gone raven ing mad We read of conquering troops herding prisoners into bull ring and spraying the place with machine gun bullets until the prisoners were all dead; of priests crucified to church walls; of prisoners executed in cold blood to pre- vent their release by approaching armies; of cities going up in flame from the lust of destruction; of wholesale atrocities - committed, apparently, with a fine impar- tiality, by both sideS-enough to make the heart sick.
 This sort of thing is not romantic, according to any sWords-and-roSe Stand- ards which may have been bred into us by our reading of romantic war novels. There is in it none of the breath-taking pageantry of the charge of the Light Bri- gade; none of the color and thrill of Cambronne's defiance at Waterloo; none of the fine dash and flair of Jeb Stuart cavalry raid. It. is war reduced to its primitive essentials -. men. at. one another'S throats in fury so hot that 1t must spend itself even on the bodies Of helpless prisoners and noncombatants.
 And we shall acquire little valuable wisdom if we realize that this sort of thing, after all, ''comes with the bicycle" This Spanish war may be more vengeful and bitter affair than some wars, but the essen tialS are always the same. Underneath, war always was like this. Its gaudy trap pings were always sham, good to fool the public but otherwise quite unreal
 For example: those slim British cruisers that patrolled the seas in the last war had romantic look to them as they went about their lonely business on the tossing waters. But how romantic do you suppose they looked to German mothers who saw their children dying, or growing up stunted and deformed, for lack of the foodstuffS which those cruisers were keep ing out of the country? Or - to go over to the other side of the picture how much romance did the Silver-winged German planes have for British mothers who saw their children blown to bits by aerial bombs?
 To realize all this, to understand that the unSpeakable horror of the Spanish war is simply the horror of all war mag nified just a little, is to fortify ourselves against tragedy. For when the danger Of war IS imminent, we are apt to be dramined into line by our emotions. We

expressed will last February by an overwhelming majority. It was elected by the workers, peasants, and the middle classes.
 On July IS the fascists in Spain with the aid of two European na- tions began military insurrection. The largest portion of the Spanish regular army joined the insurrec- tion of the fascists against the gov- ernment. The defense of the gov ernment was carried on by the workers and peasants militia, which was untrained, badly equipped much as our revolutionary armies under Washington, and with little ammunition, which was supplied by the two powers mentioned above to the rebels.
 It may be said that the situation in Spain is the start by Hitler and his allies of the conquest of all of Europe for faScism and Nazisrn. On this side of the water we do not realize that we are faced with the danger of fascisrn, and this is no Banque's ghost.
 It is 8 well known fact that bomb ing planes of two powers outside of Spain have assisted the rebels. Two of these crashed over Morocco, from where Spanish troops were rushed by air to Spain to light against the government.
 | In plain words, the democratic party in this country faces a fight against fascism and the reactionary forces that are out to defeat Frank lin D. Roosevelt. Believe it or not, the next session of congress will prove itewhen it assemblies in Jan- uary. F As far as the union party is con- cerned, it takes its stand for infia- ton, which would mean ruin to the workers, the farmers and the mid- dle classes. It is against the nation alization of the banking system,
 The communist party is support ing the farmer labor party which is gaining strength in all the. agricul- tural districts of the west and mii- dle west. 1t stands for a program by which millions can be recruited to the farmer labor party. It would seem as indicated by straws in the wind that the scattered groups are moving to the left and gathering around President Roosevelt, as re- suit of the attacks made upon him by the union party and other re- actionaries. s5- IRON QUILL.

NOT COMMUNISM, IS GRAVEST PERIL FACING NATION
 Waterbury, Conn. E. Seutenber %. 10S6.

Editor of The Democrat: .s
 Certainly the workers of these United States do not want to elect a president whose heart is in Wall street-a president who has no sym pathy for the workers. So it be- hooves any of those who produce the wealth of the country to beware lest they put a man at the head of our government who is a reaction ary. The one great danger in America today is not communism. It is fascism. The question may be asked how and why. The answer is to be found in what is happening in Spain where the workers demo- cratic government is fighting for its life against fascisni. The victory of the rebels will strengthen the cause of fascism all over the world. It will aid the election of Landon, the Liberty league and the forces of re- action-all enemies of labor and the workers. The government of Spain was elected by democratic procedure. representing the peoples

VAGABOND SONG

Josephine Johnson in the New York Times) All the musing men have done Alters not the circling sun. All the thinking men will do Cannot make one star untrue. Did the days spent with dole Shape one shattered idol whole? If weep until die,
 Who will care or heed my cry? So through sleepy Autumn weather Joy and jog on together, Steeped in warmth beneath the sun, Cooled by stars when day is done!

Bay of Fundy. or in New Brunswick
and once Great Britain laid claim
to Eastport, and almost kept it
after the War Of 1912.
So, Eastport is the jumping off
place Formerly town of 5000 in
habitants, it was thrifty and pros
porous as sardine shipping center,
but nowadays the sardine factories are
no longer there. They moved away.
Why? No one knows Some one said:
1T got so cold down here in East
port the sardines went up South"
You see. they are down-Easters in
Eastport, and although they are at the
topmost point of the States they
refer to every place else as up-even
up to Florida.
When the sardines went South and
the sardine factories found other
shipping points Eastport dwindled to
town of $500 persons. Those who
remained were hit hard-so the
Quoddy project came to them as a
life saver. 1t meant money.
Roscoe Emery, editor of the East
port Sentinel, and one of the real
champions of the Quoddy project,
sees not only the salvation of East
port as result of this Quoddy prof.
ect but he glimpses into the future
