Geography of Communism
Foes Appear to Be Slightly Confused, and It's Very
Dangerous, the Grouse Believes

child, Is not by way OF Shanghai,
Marking, Peiping and Jehol The
shortest route is by way of vladi-
vostok-which Is very near to Japan
indeed. The shortest route between
Berlin and Moscow Is rot by way
of Valencia. The shortest route be-
tween Rome and Leningrad is not via
Adds Ababa. Italy, Germany and
Japan have all openly announced that
they aim to stand together and down
Communism in the interest of world
peace. The seat of Communism, local
and international, is Moscow. There
it rules, and there the party line is
laid down, and from there the world
movement, such as it is, is directed.
But, obviously, these nations don't
know geography. Or geometry. They
think that curved and zig-zag line
is the straightest distance between two
points. They deposit astonished Ital-
ian soldiers on the Spanish coast
when they think they are going to
attack Russia in Ethiopia
Now this unfortunate confusion
about geography and geometry is
very dangerous. Because you Just
never can tell where those fellows
are going to turn up next on their
long, long march to Moscow. I read
in the papers that some of them
were parading in brown shirts on
Long Island the other day, and in
New Jersey. If they want to train
on this continent, obviously, they
should go to Alaska. But, mark by
words, you will find them blunder-
ing around in Wisconsin.
Mistaken Identity.
Russia, you may recall, lies to the
east Of Germany, but France is terri
fed that the geographists in Berlin
may take it into their heads that it
lies westward, and that one dav an
army may march into Paris, shout
ing, Down with Stalinl" Obviously
they have already mistaken Madrid
for Leningrad, and the Mediterranean
Tor the Arctic, and Arabia for ST.
IBERIA. And the Czechoslovaks are all
worked up because the Germans ap-
parently think that Prague is Odessa
And the Russians are all mixed
up in their geography, too. They
think that Fascism is a menace to
world peace, and ought to be put
down. once and for all They believe
IN putting 1t down by underground
penetration. So they send their
agents to New York and London
and Paris and Madrid, obviously in
the illusion that these are German.

concluded the Grouse Maybe the
Carnegie Peace Foundation. which
has lots OF professors associated with

reports and things, might take a

at the Massachusetts Institute of

trail of his father, "Rawhide Jim"

had gathered mines land cattle and

for bravery in the war and he had
taught history at Amherst for brief

Il don't know what you are talk

You often don't. The immediate
cause Of this observation is little

way of the business men of Kyoto,

little pamphlet with pictures of peace

And it seems that have been gravely

Yes, my dear, I have been think
ing that bombs dropped on Marking
we're directed against the Chinese
whose lives they took. It seems this
is not the fact They are directed
against Russians. The japanese gov
ernment, taking its cue from the late
Woodrow Wilson, announces that il
has no quarrel with the Chinese peo-
pie. 1t loves them TO death. It's quar-
rel is with the Soviet Union"
so What?"
Our Rambling Way.
ALLOW me TO develop my argument
in my own rambling way. This lit
tie pamphlet begins with proCla =
nation from the Mikado. the Emperor
of Japan, affirming that the adventure
into China is for the purpose of estab-
fishing peace. You yourself have often
maintained. as l remember, that the
next war will be fought not for democ-
racy. but for peace. We are told that
peace is threatened by the fact that
Soviet Russia, stretching her tenta-
cleS through outer Mongolia
makes it impossible for the world to
remain indifferent. Therein says
this pamphlet, lies the threat of a
world conflagration. And it is to
stop Russia from making this world
c0nlagratlon that Japan is in China
She is not there for any aggressive
purposes
The fundamental issue at stake
We are told is whether China's

time the details of $4,000 assets be re-
Vealed. If you bought your house for
$4,000 and want TO sell it at a profit,
1t would be possible for member of
Congress to get the information as to
what you paid for it and publish it.
While this may be an extreme illus
tration, it shows the potential mis-
chief Of prying into private affairs
which now is considered by the admin
istration to be proper.
The present law reads that AL re-
turns made under this act shall con-

1t was the President himself who
ordered the Internal Revenue Bureau
to turn over the names of persons
who were taking advantage legiti-
mately of loopholes in the tax laws
and there is no assurance that if the

that they, too, will not some day be
spread on the public records.
