French Communists and
Fascists Clash

FRANCE may be on the verge of
a civil war between Communists
and Fascists comparable to the ter
rible conflict in Spain. In Paris
desperate fighting already has be-
gun. The Reds, numbering many
thousands, and the nationalist, I'M
der orders from Col. Francois de la
ROGUE whose Croix de Feux or
ganization was disbanded by the
government, undertook rival DEM
onStrationS; and the result was a
day-long series of street battles in
which hundreds were wounded. Or
der was finally restored for the
time being by a force of $4,000 re-
publican guards and police
The Observation-Disclosures said the
fighting twas only beginning"
Troubles resulting from devaluation
of the franc would be severe and
numerous, they predicted. Leftists
charged the battles were part of
rightist plot to provoke trouble for
the Socialist government.
In London, also, there was big
riot in which hundred persons
were injured. Sir Oswald Mosley's
Black Shirts, a Fascist organiza-
ton, planned a parade but Com
munists and Socialists numbering
100000 were determined to prevent
it and battled with a big force of
east end police to get at their enc
mics. The authorities forbade the
parade as scheduled but the oppos-
ing mobs got together in various
localities and fought desperately.
Sir Oswald issued a statement
charging that "the British govern
ment has openly surrendered to Red
terror"

Social Security Act Is
Due for a Court Test

I United STATES DISTRICT
~ JUDGE c. B. KENNEMER of
Montgomery, Ala, issued an order
hating collection in Alabama of a
one per cent payroll tax to finance
the unemployment program. T e
result, it is expected, will be clear
cut test of the validity of the New
Deals social security act, for law
yers had no doubt the case would
be carried to the United States SUI
preme court. The order was granted
the Gulf States Steel corporation of
Gadsden, Ala, on a plea that the
unemployment insurance program,
operated in cooperation with the
federal government, violates both
state and federal constitutions. A
Supreme court hearing would carry
the threat of possible invalidation
of insurance and pension programs
now under development in the sew
eral states.

Italy's Cabinet Votes
to Devalue the Lira

FOLLOWING the example set by
L France and other countries, the
Italian cabinet voted to devalue the
Ira, setting its value at approx
mately So cents, as compared with
the latest previous figure of 7.6
cents. The cabinet also let it be
known that it would take action to
prevent rent and price increases;
and it voted new per cent capital
levy to which property owners are
obliged to subscribe to the extent
of per cent of their wealth.
The gold value of the Ira was
placed at 4.677 grams of gold for
each 100 lire. Gold reserves of the
Bank of Italy will be revalued on the
basis of the new Ira with the surplus
to be placed at the disposition of the
treasury.

Chicago Meat Packers
Cited by Wallace

CHARGES of engaging in unfair
~ practices have been filed against
the Armour and Swift meat pack
ing companies of Chicago, and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace has
cited them for a hearing in New
York on November 2, for violation
of the packers and stockyards act
of 1921.
According to DR.. A. w. Miller of
the bureau of animal industry, the
complaint was based on the charge
that the packers had been obtaining
business in violation of the law from
steamship companies in New York.
Under the alleged illegal arrange
ment, Miller said, Armour and Swift
had arranged a reciprocal agree
ment by which they sold meat to
the ship owners and in return sent
their exports abroad in their ships.
Another charge was that the pack
ers had extended credit for longer
periods for favored customers than
for others.

Why Not Change Your Mind?-
Absolute Consistency Cannot
Be Compatible With Growth

And that is growth. The person
with an open mind who wants
to keep on growing cannot pos
sibly always feel the same about
everything today as he did five
years ago, or even last week.
Experiment frequently changes
ones viewpoint, experience ones
views. Learning by our mistakes
frequently involves a complete
right about face in opinion or ac-
ton. And when it is the result of
such experience and growth, an
inconsistency is nothing to be
ashamed of.
We have it on the word of
great man that "a foolish con-
sistency is the hobgoblin of little

Secretary Ickes Reports
Alleged Collusive Bids

ECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
" ICKES referred to the Depart
ment of Justice for investigation two
new instances of alleged collusive
bidding for federal construction ma
terial contracts. The charges are
against seventeen copper cable and
steel tubing firms. The Justice de-
partment already has under investi-
cation previous charges made by
Ickes of collusive bidding on steel
contracts.
The projects affected were the
North Platte reclamation develop
ment in Nebraska, and the Grand
Coullee Dam in the Columbia river
basin of Washington.
Many of the bids in both cases,
said Mr.. Ickes, were identical. How
ever, in each case at least one bid
der submitted different and lower
figures, and the contracts were
awarded.

81 WANT to record my belief
that one of the greatest fall
lacies, one of the greatest of all
human stupidities, is the worship
of consistency, even in making
mistakes.
"Why do people, otherwise in
telligent, think because once they
expressed themselves in a certain
way.and someone knows that they
expressed tn a viewpoint, that
they must stick to it for better
or for worse, that not changing
their mind or their viewpoint is
more important than having the
right mind or viewpoint?
at is amusing to see even a
little child penetrate this foolish
conceit of consistency. With a
parent who prides himself on al
ways sticking by what he once
said, all such a child has to do
to get his own way is to remind
him or her, But the last time
you said oh, did ~ replies
the consistent parent. Then
that's all right!'
Human beings are not ex-
pected to be infallible, nor do the
intelligent ones want to be re-
garded so. Then it must be bet
ter to admit a mistake or a
change of mind than to go on
repeating the wrong viewpoint.

New Visibility Meters Aid
in SpOtting Forest BIazes

Another step forward in develop
ment of scientific instruments for use
In forest fire control has been made
with the installation of a new visibility
meter on each of the nine national for
ests in western Montana and northern
Idaho.
The meter is a small, optical in
strument which determines the distance
at which a lookout may be expected
to see the smoke Of small fire under
existing atmospheric conditions.
The race against fires in the forest
Is not greatly different in principle
from the I00-yard dash in track meets
officials say. A great deal depends
upon the split-second start, as well as
sustained speed after the runner gets
under way
Detection Of a fire while it is still
very small is the @sprinters start" In
forest fire control. On days of good
visibility, q lookout viii be reasonably
sure of sighting a small smoke 10 or
more miles away. On other days, sim
liar smoke only four or five miles dis
tant is likely to escape detection until
much greater volume meaning great
er burning makes itself apparent.
The condition of visibility is one of
the greatest factors in measuring for
est fire danger Additional guards are
necessary In the forests as visibility
decreases, in order to detect fires while
they are small.
