The Hopeville Community Club speedboys basketball team takes on on another sturdy foe tonight in the persons of the Derby A. C., .n the feature game of the weekly double-header at the Hopeville school gymnasium. The Derbyites come to town with a record that is the envy of most clubs in their vi- cinity. They hold victories over the Robertson Bleachery, Danbury Big Five, St. Johns of Bridgeport, New Haven Boys Club and the Fairfield Townies. This list totals more than fifteen wins over the best in their class. The Housatonic valley repre- sentatives lineup include some of the best players in Ansonia and Derby featuring the Cottrell broth CTS, PetZ, Voccia and Giacondino. The Speedboys who have been play ing the best teams in the state this year, have high hopes of taking the visitors into camp tonight by a large margin. The "Villers" will show their regular lineup tonight for the first time in two or three weeks, with Bartolini, H. Dubuque and Waugh again in shape after being laid up with injuries.
 All Set
 The Hopeville Juniors have selec- ted the St. Joseph Juniors for their opponents in the preliminary game starting at seven thirty o'clock. The Juniors are fast developing into one of the best outfits in the city and show record which thus far in- cludes eight wins with but four loses credited against them.

speeches which the press reports. The
Communist candidate Tor President
recently made . radio speech. He
makes q speech to the most important
press club In the country. Buff
Communism succeeds In America,
Communism will promptly and forci-
bly, forbid freedom Of expression. To
put that paradox another way: The
American system permits freedom of
speech to advocates Of q system which
itself forbids freedom Of speech. As
Communism grows in America, Amer
lea will need to do some thinking
about that paradox.
Browder said that he and his
party regard as their chief concern
the arising Of fascism in America.
He said fascism Is under way here.
As proof. he cited a conversation he
had had with reporter (whom he
did not name) on q newspaper (which
he did not nance. The nameless
reporter had talked with an executive
of o large business likewise nameless).
The reporter had asked the business
executive what the business executive
would do If Mr.. Roosevelt wins the
coming election. The executive re-
piled, I'VE won't take it lying down."
That superlatively anonymous EVIL
dence was all the proof Browder pro-
duced to show that fascism Is arising
In America.
FaScism An AntidOte.
Nevertheless, there Is some basis for
In countries in which communism
gets q foothold, fascism arises as .
kind of antidote to 1t. That has been
the pattern in Italy, Germany and
Spain. When Browder expressed fear
Of fascism in America he was really
expressing hope Of communism. If he
did not expect that communism would
make formidable progress here he
would not fear that fascism would
arise here.
What America-that Is, the part of
America that believes in the American
system-needs to apprehend are three
things:
Communism, fascism and strife be-
tween the two.
II anybody knows what Is the best
course to avert those three, that is
the course which believers in the
American system ought to take. To
Americans, communism and fascism
are equally odious. If any Americans
suppose that Fascism is an acceptable
alternative to communism they should
think carefully. For America the only
tolerable way Is to preserve the Amer
lean system.
Browder, as candidate Of the Com
munist Party and as participant in
the international program Of that
party, knows well the forces at work
in the world, including America. He
knows them better than any leader
Of the familiar American parties and
Of course infinitely better than any
average American. 1t Is significant
and somber to observe that his dis
eussion Of the present situation in
America was put fundamentally in
terms OF communism versus fascism,
rather than in terms Of Republican
versus Democratic.

freedom Of the press. He said 1t has
because, as he put 1t. the Russian
official press says what 80 per cent
of the Russian people believe. A ques-
toner accepted Browder's statistics,
for the sake of argument, and then
asked him whether Communist Russia
would tolerate the existence OF any
newspaper expressing the views of the
! per cent minority.
Browder answered sharply, mo"
He added-as II this explained it
Russian Communism believes in ma
jority rule"
At that much Of the audience
laughed, some little jeeringly. They
saw the corollary Of PROVIDERS prin-
ciple. Complete, the statement would
be: Russian communism believes in
majority rule-and minority silence. P"
That illustrates. the heart Of the Com

which the government needs to re-
spect. Dissent, opposition, criticism
all these are treason and must not be
allowed to express themselves.
Paradox May Be Serious.
Communism's repression Of freedom
of opinion, and the American systems
permission of it. amount to paradox
which is curious and may become Sc
rious. Let us put it this way:
The American system permits free
dom of opinion. Communism taSes
advantage of that freedom. Commu-
nism publishes newspapers in New

fishes books; Communists make

way. Appointed director of the New
York Noise Abatement Commission in
1929, the year he became president of
Johns-Manville. he fosters research and

Out of college. he was a high speed

Last week 1t Is significant to note
that the non-owners voted for all pro-
posals but the owners and their wives
defeated five of them.
If the national election were con-

States that are well able to finance
their own relief problems or to tax
themselves sufficiently to do SO.
The New Deal will benefit in votes
here because it has spent so much in
