Then came the end of the Haps-

what ends the collaboration OF the
Fascist countries with the young re-
publics Of the Western Hemisphere
would be directed.
There are, moreover, other factors
which. in the case of rebel victory
in Spain. would facilitate tremendously
Fascist penetration in Latin America.
Apart from the racial and cultural
ties existing between Spain and the
Latin American republics-and these
alone would be sufficient to make the
influence of any major social changes
imposed upon Spain felt on this side
OF the Atlantic-the system Of land
tenure, the role of a politically am
bilious army and the part played by
the Catholic church in politics in most
Of the Latin American countries are
strongly similar to those of the Spain
which Franco is trying to preserve
with Fascist aid. If the rebels sue
ceeded in establishing in the mother
country Fascist regime, under the
protection of italian and German
planes and bayonets, they could from
the start count upon the support of
powerful allies, in nearly every one
OF the Latin American nations, in
their interested efforts to transplant
Fascist theology to the New World.
Privilege Versus Masses.
The landowners, the army leaders
and the church, which have con-
stituted the privileged classes in most
Of Latin America since colonial times,
could not help but view with sympathy
the introduction Of autocratic and
totalitarian doctrines which would
suppress summarily the agitation for
social justice already beginning to
give signs of existence in some of
the most advanced American republics
Of Spanish origin.
In fact, representatives Of those
privileged classes in at least three of
the Caribbean nations have already
announced their plans for the propa-
CATION Of their own version Of what
for want of a better name may be
designated as tropical fascism. Even
these plans, which today appear only
laughable, would acquire threatening
significance the day Franco could
establish himself the master Of Spain
and start, with his Fascist sponsors
at Berlin and Rome, the joint and
"civilizing" task Of winning Latin
America over to the camp Of the
fasc1o and the swaStika.

they differ On conservatism VS..
radicalism, no definite pattern runs
through the legislative picture over
the years.
This knocks into cooked hat one
OF the theories on which the Con-
stitution was founded. The theory
was that the Senate would almost
always prove more conservative than
the House. Senators are elected every
six years, Representatives every two
years, so that the former would be
less subject to transitory popular
gusts than the latter Also, Senators
must be at least 30 years OF age, while
members Of the House need be only Is.
Theory Sometimes Reversed,
Nevertheless the Senate at times
was much farther to the Left even in
the days before 1913 when Senators
were elected by the State Legislatures.
For instance, it was the Senate rather
than the House which led the Republi-
can revolt of 1909-l9l3 against the
conservative tendencies of the Taft
administration
Geography doesn't mark the differ
ence between conservatism and radi-
callsm in Congress. There are rel
atively few trades unionists in the
South. so that Southern members of
Congress tend to be somewhat anti
union, but nevertheless Congress has
no more ardent defender of trade
union rights than Senator Black OF
Alabama.
New York is supposed to be riddled
with unionists and radicals, but one
OF the Senators from New York is as
far to the Right as the other is to
the Left. 1t may be Representative
from rural area in an industrial
State who warns against the Com
munist shoals ahead of the ship OF
state If the unions aren't taught their
place, while it may be Representative
from an industrial area in rural
State who complains that the farmers
are always grousing no matter how
much is done for them.
It's the personal equation which
makes Congress unpredictable Ne
braska sent Senator Norris back to
the Senate even in the Coolidge regime
when Nebraska was arch-conservative
Virginia was pro-Carter Glass even
when it was most ardently pro-Nev
Deal.
So you can't tell beforehand which
branch of Congress is going to stave
of threat to entrench business and
financial interests, which branch is
going to curry favor with entrenched
labor and agricultural interests.

Cestapo Suspicious of Sedition
Extend to Phonograph Records

BERLIN, Germany.-A room at the
headquarters Of the Gestapo, the Nazi
secret political police, in Prinz Albrecht
strasse. On a table, wooden box
The box has been sent to a certain
Berlin address from outside Germany
but 1t has come here to the room in
Prinz Albrecht strasse instead.
Boxes coming into Germany from
abroad sometimes have unpleasant
contents. The customs officials took
no chances with this box; they sent
1t to the Gestapo to find out whether
its contents are dangerous and
whether the box may be sent on to
Its destination.
A Gestapo agent comes into the
room. He looks at the box, reads
the names and addresses of the
supposed sender and of the person
for whom the box was intended and
examines the tags, labels and official
reports attached to the box by the
customs officials. Then .le opens the
box with some care.
On top, inside, are two layers of
heavy cardboard These the Gestapo
agent removes. Underneath he finds
what seem to be two gramophone
records. He takes these out. They
look like real gramophone records,
and the labels seem to show that the
records are innocent enough. But you
nevsr know. He puts the disks on a
gran1ophone and plays them.
Strange cries come out Of the in
str,unent, 4 voice and the music of an
orchestra. The Gestapo agent grim
aces. So far, the records seem to have
no political significance. They ap-
pear to live UP to their labels.
But even II they have no political
significance, perhaps they ought to be
suppressed anyway, just on general
principles. And, besides, maybe the
harmless beginning is just to fool
Gestapo officials. Maybe something
subversive will come after a while
Maybe the record" will explode. So
the agent grimly plays both sides OF
both records. listening intently.
In the end, he is satisfied. What
ever else may be said about the rec
ords. from the viewpoint Of the Ma
tional Socialist philosophy of life they
seem to represent no danger to the
state, especially since they are ad-
dressed to foreigner, who very likely
is beyond hope in these matters any

easier for Imperial Italy to collaborate
in molding the spirit and developing
the material resources of the young
republic daughters of Spain. He ex-

anything Of the contribution which
Latin America would be making to

collaboration that the danger lies, for
