In commenting on brief history of the c. l. O. distributed at the convention of this organization at Atlantic City the New York Sun states editorially that matters left out of the history are of as much importance as those included. It is stated in part: Lewis cannot speak for American labor, nor presume to ad- vance the general interests of labor when the record of lawlessness and the record of intimidation, not only of employers but of workers not in sympathy with his methods, stands to refute his assertion of purpose. Lewis primary aim is not the betterment of labor'S condition but the seizure of political power" Apropos of the c. l. o. America" a Catholic peril odical stated last week in it's editorial column: ".. and if the c. l. O. expects to continue it's work for organized labor with the favor of the public, it must take a stand on Communism. When the C.IO. welcomes Communists as members, ap- proves many as organizers and advances others to high position in it's counsels, mild denunciationS of Communism by President Lewis bewilder the public and make 1t suspicious of the c. I. O.'s ulterior purposes" This editorial goes on to say, we entertain no hostility to the C.I.O. .. we deprecate the violence that has been tolerated by MT. Lewis, and his weakness in dealing with Communistic infiltrations into the c. l. o. ... we hope that the c. I. o. will at once take stand against Communism. MT. Lewis may be content with half-hearted state ments, but we can assure him that the public is not"

Selected Poem
DOWN EAST

DOWN EAST CHarold Vinal in the Christian Science Monitor) This is a land of cragS and frs forever Dark against granite. and the lifting foam BoomS here against this rocky coast, and never will he be happy here, who makes his home The inland mountains Only those whose blood Wakes to the cry of gulls when morning rips The sea to blue, should stay where thunders thud Against the headlands In this world of ships Only the Happy Mariner shall find This coast his own and answer with shout Only those who twine the ropes shall wind The scattered seaweed that Is sprewled about The ebb tide in their hands, for lovers of The Maine Coast love it with incredible love.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct. 13-The announced visit to these shores of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor already has started @ wave of speculation in Manhattan. Gossips are wondering which of this towns advertisements will appeal most 10 the former king and his Baltimore bride.
 Will the pseudo-g -glamorous ex- elements of the Gay White Ways night clubs, gaudy premieres and kleig-lit high jinks attract the fancies of MT. and Mrs. David Windsor? Or will the Duke and Duchess take refuge in obscurity2 The latter course seems unlikely, in the face of what friends of the Duke surmise.
 In fact, these same acquaint- ances of the Duke who are aware of his much publicized tastes, guess as follows: 1t isn't probable that the most famous swain in the world will spend much time in night clubs, all rumor and can- ard to the contrary. But if they should journey abroad in the noc- turnal field, the Park. Avenue set may prepare for a rude shock.
 The odds are that the plush lined places of the East Side will not be favored. Instead "Ed- ward" and "Wally" are said to be curious about at least two of the big, burly Broadway cabarets that stand garishly smack in the heart of Times Square.
 
 Waltzing Preferred
 One entertainer who has sung so many times before the ex- King Edward VIII tells this cor ner that the Duke of Windsor never has lost his penchant for things American--and particular ly for American singers, dancers and those revues which are lib- eral in talent and pulchritude.
 If he finds an able tap-dancer to whom he takes an esthetic fancy, he might return two or three times. An enthusiast of sec plan entertainment he may well look forward to @ visit to the Cot ton Club.
 For dancing they say the Duke of Windsor doesn't set foot on @ dance floor these evenings unless the music is Viennese and the atmosphere equally indicative of the capital of drei viertel takt. Fifty Second - the Swing Alley of Manhattan may as well despair the Duke and his lady no not admire the blaring saxophones and clarinets that ply sweet or bitter-sweet swing.
 Theatrically, the taste of the Windsors does not run to such fluff exhibits as Gilbert Miller's French Without Tears" and John 0. Wilson's George and Margar- et." They have seen enough of such light exhibits on their own British soil. Since the Duke is coming to study housing condi- tons, he may be interested !n Tobacco Road" as on exposition of housing conditions in one sec- ton of America. He may take delight in such political satires as "I'd Rather be Right" with George M. Cohan or in such thoughtful works as 'The Star Wagon"

A Book a Day
A Depressing Study of Rural Bondage

Charlie May Simon makes no pre- tense that her novel, "The Share- Chopper" (Dutton: $2.50), is the Uncle Toms Cabin" of the modern South; but certainly here Is one of the most penetrating pictures of the exploited worker yet to come from any writer.
 The story of Bill Bradley, share- cropper, with its backdrop of heartache, social injustice and 10 per cent interest, will not read well, perhaps, below the Mason and Dixon line, but Mrs. Simon has endeavored to hold the middle course.
 Simply, effectively, Bill Bradley trudges through her story, going be- hind Q little this year, making e very few dollars next subsisting for the most part on cornmeal and sorghum when the days are leanest. Most of the time he's in debt to the commissary and somehow the land- lord outtigures Bill every time.
 Yet the tragedy of Bradley and his family repeats itself year after year. And somehow you feel there are Q great many Bill Bradleys in the land. Who Is to blame for this vicious system, Mrs. Simon does not indicate. Neither does she defend Bill. You recognize that there are good landlords and bad, poor share- croppers and good.
 The point is that here is c vicious system to which whole families are born and from which anything on which to escape.
 So you lay down "The Share- Chopper" finally with e feeling com- mingled of regret and depression. - P. c. F.

 "Of course 1t is nice to be iide- pendent" said Kathleen, adding a little wistfully, "Only sometimes it's awfully-well, awfully lonesome and worrisome, and" She did not fin- ish the sentence.
 Well, from now on, you'll know that Schmatz and are upstairs, When you get tired making rhymes, just say the word and we'll come running"
 Even if you're right in the midst of committing murder?" she asked.
 "1'd pass up good murder any day for bean soup. Do you know the person who has the studio across from mine2"
 Just to speak to when I meet her in the hall or something Kathleen answered. "She is al- ways very pleasant and she's aw- fully rich, I understand. She has lots of arty friends who're always going back and forth from her studio. They look so well, kind of different and interesting; I've often thought I'd like to meet some of them. But Pat would never approve of that"

TWENTY years after the World | War, which .jolted German territorial ambitions, the Nazi cry for colonies was ringing around the globe once more. Regaining her possessions In Africa became one of the first aims of Herr Hit Ter.
 As early as 1886, Germany's ambitions in the cast central por- ton of Africa were recognized by European nations. Operating secretly, three German agents had concluded "treaties" with several native chieftains, thereby obtain. ing large mainland acquisitions.
 The extension of German au. thority in the interior, however, met with bitter opposition. Revolts hared and a rebellion of the Wan goni in i905-6 entailed the loss of 10000 lives. Not until German colonial agents adopted British settlement policies did African colonization develop satisfactorily.
 And then came the great war, resulting In the conquest of Ger man East Afaica by British and Belgian troops. Belgium was as- signed a mandate over part of the German lands conquered.
 The stamp below, surcharged, was issued after Belgium assumed its mandate over the 22,5S0 square miles of territory on the eastern limits of the Congo.
