Freedom Is Freedom

For 30 years and more the American people have been accustomed to think of freedom of speech in terms of radical on a soap-box being allowed to speak his piece without interference from the police Such infringements as we have allowed of our cherished principle of the freedom to speak and publish, have in nine cases out of ten been made where radicalism was concerned. And in such cases, the defenders of freedom of speech have often themselves been accused of radicalism.
 Most frquently accused, perhaps, has been the American Civil Liberties Union. But now comes word that the ACLU has protested to the city council of Kenosha, Wis, against the councils action in ban ming street demonstration by the Nazi Volksbund. Labor unions, progressives and radicals had protested against any such public meeting, and the council yielded to pressure and cancelled it. The Volksbund, an organization supporting the Hitler regime in Germany and wear ing uniforms, had to hold it's meeting in the Germany American Club
 The picture of the Civil Liberties Union upholding the right of uniformed Nazis to hold public demonstrations is in- teresting. It makes clear the ACLU point pf view: We are not concerned with the doctrines of this or any group" the bnion said, "but we are convinced that hs right of freed~1 of speech should not

Royal Headgear

The twenty-four Americans who bought the top hats from swindler who assured each one that the hat he was buying had been worn by the erstwhile Prince of Wales, now Duke of Windsor, are doubtless feeling pretty cheap, about now, though the hats were dear enough, at an average of SIPS apiece. The be- guiling person who sold them banked on American snobbishness. He bought the two dozen second hand top hats, had them cleaned, pressed and the royal seal stitched into them. Nor did he bank in vain. He sold them all.
 A doubt assails the reader of the tale, however. Were all these Americans so easily fooled? Some were, no doubt and snobbish to boot. But probably the rest knew more or less what they were doing, but took the hat, each one his buy, as an uproarious joke to play on the folks who were to come in this winter, of an eve- ming, to hear all about the coronation they were not lucky enough to attend.

be curbed so long as its meetings are peaceful. |. Denial of free speech for one group will inevitably lead to denial to others ="
 It is irritating to Americans to grant American liberties to groups which, if in power, would grant no liberties to anyone else That goes for the Russian type of radicaliSm as we'll as for the German type of FaSciSn. Neither, once it gains power, offers the slightest freedom to groups which oppose it's policies.
 Yet the way to reprove these groups is not the way of suppression. The most savage repression in pre-war Russia and in postwar Germany has not eliminated the radical movement Repression merely drives radicalism underground to fester and snolder toward sure explos- ion. Likewise, the rigorous suppression of even opposition Communist groups in Russia, has by the Russians own con- fession in recent mass shootings failed to eliminate that kind of opposition. Sup pression is not the way.
 It is in the free and open air that devil ous doctrines are funigated and their explosive powers disSipated. And free dom that is not freedom for groups whose doctrines we may despise, is no freedom at all.

Good old John Fitch! He does get some recognition now and then as the real in- ventor of the steamboat. When Port Day was celebrated at Philadelphia recently replica of the boat which he built and successfully used on the Schuylkill River was one of the features of an aquatic pa- rade and pageant. The occasion was the 150th anniversary of John Fitch's ven. ture in steamboating which preceded all others in this country Successful ones) by some few years. The Fitch replica was an odd-looking thing with its row of vertically-hung paddles suspended on each side of the boat. However, gaso- line engine was used for propulsion, whereas when Fitch ran 1t and astound- ed everybody with his invention it was steam-power that provided the means whereby the boat chugged along smooth ly through the placid waters of the Schuylkill and the Delaware. Long life to Fitch!

And while on the topic of anniversaries let us call attention to the fact that down in San Antonio Texas, they have been ob- serving the 80th anniversary of the es- tablishment of the Texas-to-C California stage coach line. Back in 1857 a stage coach set out from San Antonio bound for San Diego, Calf. Thirty-four days later it arrived at its destination, no doubt experiencing all along the route the thrills that had to be linked with such perilous overland journey in those pion- eer days. Later the trip was cut to 27 days. What stories have and still could be written of our stage coach lines and the pony express daysl

Machines and Music

The average radio listener, sitting sleepily before his loud-speaker, is only barely conscious (if he notices it at alD of those oft-repeated words "We will now listen to a recording by electrical tram scription. :" Every time those words come over the air, the listener is getting not only music by a photograph record but also, right along with it, he is getting a concrete example of technological un- employment. It is an example that means living to musicians.
 The American Federation of Musicians considers the playing over the air of re- cordings SO serious a threat to employ ment of its members that it has threat ened a strike on September 16 unless working arrangement with broadcastng stations is concluded. It asks such con- trol over the broadcasting of recordings as will make certain the employment Of many more musicians than are now at work.
 The musicians union would allow no radio station to play records or electrical transcriptions unless that station was hiring number of musicians satisfactory to the union Union members would not be allowed to play for stations transmit ting to other stations which do not hire enough musicians to satisfy the union They could play for stations using record iEgs only if they were used under set or stringent regulations laid down by the union. The ATM also insists on a num- Der of stringent regulations enforced on recording companies, or 1t will not allow it's members to make any recordings.
 This is a fair example of the jam into which technological progress IS leadlng industry after industry, and an equally good example of how necessary 1t IS that workable compromises be made in all such cases. For there is much justice on ooth sides of this controversy. musician who plays piece sees it recorded. Ana then throughout the rest of his musical life he hears that same recording popping up and taking his place in spots where he would otherwise have another Joo. You can't hate the musicians for wanting some restrictions on mechanical com petitor which uses their own music to take away their jobs.
 A small broadcasting station finds re- cordings generally as satisfactory as i've musicians for much of its program, ana much cheaper. Along comes the union and insists that it hire 10 musicians to slt and twiddle their thumbs while the re- cording of good band is played on the air. You can't hate the radio stations for wanting just as little of that as they have to take, either.
 Between these points of view compro- mise must be worked out, and undoubt- edly it will be- These conflicts between man and his machines are going to re- quire the application of every last ounce of the common sense of all of us, unless we are to see our own mechanical inge- nuity turned from blessing into curse.

Many of those old stage coach routes are still followed today. Some of them are broad lanes of macadam or cement stretching across the country, over which countless autos pass every day, not once every month or two Over them also whizz transcontinental trains, the ties of the roadbed pressing deep where horses hoofs and broad iron-rimmed wheels once sank. Transportation provides our greatest history we think.

Selected Poem
FARM CAT

FARM CAT
 Gerald Battery in the New York Times) Beside the barn she drowses in the sun, The placid guardian of all she sees And watches where her kittens rolls and run And bounce and play in youthful ecstasies. She seems the picture of @ quiet dame With not thought beyond the corn-crub mice But she could tell, perhaps, of other game And feats that would not be considered nice. The wrens that nested in the big blue spruce, Where did they go? The bluebirds in the lane? The missing gosling that the old gray goose Still hunts for? And perhaps she could explain about the squabs that never learned to fly, The chicks and ducklings vanished Into air Calm in the sun she blinks drowsy eye; A growing family Is such e carel

AIRPORT SESSION
WILL BE CLOSED
Public and Press to Be Barred
From Farley on Future of
Field Here.

The public and representatives Of
the press will be barred from the meet
ing Thursday which may determine
the future of the Washington Airport,
it was learned today.
Although original plans had called
for public hearing of the difficulties
surrounding air transport operations
in Washington, Assistant Director of
Air Commerce Howard Rough an
nOunced today that the session will
be confined to interested parties" The
meeting, he said, will be conducted by
Director of Air Commerce Fred D.
Fagg, jr. Those present will be repre-
sentatives of the Bureau of Air Com
merce, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission, Washington Airport. the
three air transport companies and the
National Air Line Pilots Association.
II do not think that the meeting
will result in discussion which will
be Of general interest" Rough ex-
planned. ''It probably will be tech
nical discussion of operations and
safety requirements. II there are any
developments Of interest to the gen.
eral public, they will be announced at
the close of the meeting"
Thursdays meeting was called as
result of . petition signed by pilots
Of Eastern Air Lines operating between
Washington and New York requesting
that the Bureau of Air Commerce
withdraw its restrictions on the use
Of the Douglas DC-2 type airplane at
Washington Airport. 1t was rumored
recently that charges Of coercion in
connection with the signing Of the
petition would be discussed at the
coming meeting.
Fagg said that not only will the
petition be considered but that the
possible imposition of even further
limitations, covering all types Of air
transport planes, will be discussed.

itations at Washington Airport are
afraid that the rule will seriously in.
