Judging from current newspaper
and magazine articles, the time has
come when America expects every
Englishman to do his duty.
Fascism is on the march, and
nothing but the threat of force will
stop it. Il that thr\ IS to be et-
fective, England has got to make
it. Few Americans have any Use for
Fascism. 500. f. D.-most Amer
leans. are expecting England 10
speak up, and are inclined TO be
pretty impatient with Premier
Chamberlain for waiting so long.
All of this would be very well if
America were prepared to pick up a
gun and stand by the Briton's side
when the showdown comes. But II
isn't. If one thing is certain in a
highly uncertain world, it is that
this country will make every posi-
ble effort to stay out Of any war
that may break out overseas.
That being the case, it might be a
very sound idea for us to say a
little bit less about Englands moral
duty in regard to the checking OF
dictator5.
After all, there are more ignoble
aims than the desire to preserve
the peace. And when all that there
is to say about Mr.. Chamberlain8
alleged inner sympathy with the
Fascists has been said, the fact re-
mains that the man has been max
ing a desperate effort to keep his
country out of war.
Maybe he has been making his
effort in the wrong way Maybe
the risks Of his policy are greater
than the risks of fortnight, dar
ing. and clear-cut policy Of defi-
snce to all aggressors. Maybe in
the long run England will have to
fight anyway, and Will only make
the fight tougher by postponing the

Communism BObs Up

Z
Issue In 1888 :.
WASHINGTON. - Communism"
has bobbed up as an issue in vari-
OILS 1898 primaries and may be
heard from in the fall election CAM
paigns.
Senator Bob Reynolds of North
Carolina once advised some of his
colleagues:
Get a good red scare into the
campaign and you don't have to
worry about issues
Those who supposed the old 'red
scare" had been worn threadbare
are being fooled. Such seasoned
conservative campaigners as Sena-
tor Walter George in Georgia, Sena-
tor Millard Tydings in Maryland,
and Congressman John j. O'Connor
in New York, all purge" targets,
deem it good political medicine.
Tydings first used the Commun-
issue by quoting allegedly radical
passages from book written by
Mauritz Hallgren, a supporter of his
opponent, Congressman Davey
Lewis. Lately Tydings' forces have
plastered Maryland with printed
warnings your constitutional
rights arc threatened by the federal
administration, supported by the c.
I. O., John l.. Lewis and Commu60
lists. Preserve your civil and ~
ligious liberties"
George attributes his New Deal
opposition to Tom Corcoran and
Ben Cohen whom he alternately
describes as Communists and
wall Street lawyers and to Ell
Oliver of Labor's Non Partisan
League, whom he calls "Commun-
ist."
C'Connor, bracketed by Roosevelt
with Tydings as an "obstructionist''
who betrayed" the New Deal, tells
voters his troubles are largely due
to a Communist plot.
Communists have taken to en-
dorsing the most liberal candidates
in sight, instead of running their
own candidates. This has given
certain liberals Nightmares. Balti-
more Communists, insignificant nu-
merically and otherwise, have just
endorsed Lewis, whose supporters
call the endorsement a wreath Of
poison ivy
Dies committee revelations of
Communistic activities are expect
ed to be useful to Republicans this
year.
Liberals seeking to protect them
selves from red" charges will make
use Of IL new proposed definitions
of Communist published by lions
Herald Methodist Weekly, including
"a child actress in the motion piSs
lures liberal Roman Catholic IL
Episcopalian, Presbyterian or Meth
odist," and anyone whom we dis
like"

Various New Deal ideas which
were considered sound by the ad-
ministration have turned out to pe
ScreWy. But one Of the measures
which has. turned out best was one
that Mr.. Roosevelt himself, because
he thought it was screWy, didn't
want.
Federal deposit insurance for
banks was an important cushion in
the l937-38 depression and probably
prevented panic. Only 42 banks
closed the first six months this
year, with 997 per cent of deposits
protected against loss.
AS the previous depression be-
gan, 472 banks closed in the first
six months of 1890, when business
decline had been much less severe.
But although New Dealers usual
~ take credit for deposit insurance,
Congress actually passed the law
against Roosevelt's wishes. The
President and advisers thought it
unsound because all state deposit
insurance systems had collapsed.

Md. School
Pilgrimage

BALTIMORE, Md, May IA.
Six hundred students Of Nc
Donogh School will make their
annual pilgrimage to Greenwood
Cemetery at 4 p. m, May %, to
pay homage to John McDonogh,
the schools founder.
Mr.. McDonogh, a wealthy Balti-
more and New Orleans merchant,
who died in 1850, divided his ST.
100000 estate equally between the
two cities with the provisions that
it be used to establish schools in
which boys of meager circum-
stances could obtain an education.
New orleans used its part OF
the estate for the erection and
maintenance of public c h ools,
while at Baltimore, in accordance
with another provision of the will,
the fund was used to establish a
farm school for the education OF
poor and worthy boys.
The custom Of making an an
nual visit to the founders grave
began in 1875 as the result Of a
request made in his will that
IT have one small and last
request and that is that the
children of the school situated
nearest my interment be per-
mitted annually to plant and
care for a few flowers around
my grave"
