A Fascist revolt, similar to that of
Spain, is today threatening Mexico.
Important capitalist interests are
gathering their resources round a
conservative military leader and, as
in Spain, small shopowners, indus
trialists, clergymen, army cliques
and a%ristocratic remnants are pre-
pairing for a revolt which will be
represented as a necessity to free
Mexico from Communism. - Edi-
torial, in The New Statesman, Feb.

What The Magazines
Are Saying

Our isolationists do not seem to
realize that isolationism and inn
perialism + merely two sides of
the same medal. Selfishness is self
ishness, whether it is on the agrees
sive or on the defensive. And sell
fishness in the long run is usually
shortsighted. 1t has been conspicu-
ously so of late years, when a policy
of keeping out Of trouble has landed
US all-where we are.-C. /. Chaflin,
in The Nation, Feb. 26.

If there is an octopus-like humor

existence of wars, strikes, and revo-

more unpleasant diseases or the
grosser aspects of sexual passion.
Deliberately its editors confine

The dominant feature in the mod
ern view of sex is the widespread
dissemination of Freudian ideas. The
pure-minded champions of sexual
taboo have discovered that their
pure-mindedness is just a repression
of sex into the unconscious, while
any desire for vindictive prosecu-
tons of "pernicious' literature mere
ly reveals that the repression is not
working very satisfactorily.-Ralph

KIRBY DEP[ORES
ALLECHANY FIGHT
Scores J. P. Morgan & Co.
and Guaranty Trust Co.
for Opposing Young.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Allan P.
Kirby, New York and Wilkes Barre
business man and philanthropist. who
joined with Robert r. Young in ac-
quiring control Of Allegheny Corp. a
year ago, publicly entered the cur
rent controversy over control of the
company for the first time yesterday,
charging J. P. Morgan g. Co. and the
Guaranty Trust Co. with "callousness"
toward the public interest.
I'VE have found through the ex-
periences of the past year" Kirby
said in discussing the efforts of
Young and himself to simplify the
holding company structure of the old
Van Sweringen system, that it is not
easy to do constructive job in the
public interest. when the public in
terest runs counter to the private in
terest Of this financial circle"
Kirby reviewed the developments
since control of Allegheny was pur-
chased from the George and Frances
Ball foundation and described the
trustee inderture of collateral pledged
with the Guaranty Trust under the
Allegheny bonds, whereby the trust
company gained voting power of the
collateral when the Allegheny bonds
declined to certain extent.
Early End Foreseen.
On June IA. Kirby said. through a
decline in the value Of the collateral
Guaranty came into temporary con-
troll of the Chesapeake Corp"-the
subholding company in the system
directly under Allegheny.
Happily" Kirby continued, "the re-
cent rally in security prices indicates
the Guaranty's power to serve its own
interests at the expense of the in
vestors will be of brief duration
At the time of their purchase of con-
troll. Kirby said the presidency of both
Allegheny and Chesapeake Corps. was
vacant, due to the death of Girls P
Van Sweringen.
AT the persistent urging of Mr..
Ball. Kirby said. Charles L. Bradley,

Murphy was reelected secretary of
both.
DenOunces Attitude.
We did not know then that these
gentlemen Kirby added. would play
the game of the private financial in
terests which had SO much at stake
We did not know then to what lengths
these interests would 60 to block a
program which. though in the public
interest, might tread on their toes"
kirby's statement reiterated charges.

Bradley and Murphy blocked the
Young Kirby efforts to simplify the
corporate structure by dissolving the
Chesapeake Corp. lin complete dis
regard of the interests of stockholders.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Operations in
the steel industry for the current week
will decline 6.3 points to 22.4 per cent
Of capacity. compared with 28.7 per
cent last week, the American Iron g.
Steel Institute estimated today.
Curtailment Of activity due to the

a year ago they were 67.3 per cent.

effect on buying will follow the heavy
cuts in prices of steel products and pig
iron until uncertainties connected with
the radical price changes are cleared
up, the magazine Steel said.
Not only have prices been reduced
81 per ton on pig iron and 50 to 81
and more on finished steel products,
but the geography Of the industry is
undergoing changes following estab-
lishment Of new basing points and
elimination of differentials.
In many cases steel users have not
learned from what producing center
they will be able to get the best price
and delivery. AS result Of the un-
certainty. many orders have been
placed subject to pricing later.
Inventories Depleted.
Whether increased buying will follow
the new prices is not apparent now.
Some observers believe the restraint
evident for several weeks in expecta-
ton OF price cut may release pent-up
tonnage.
Depletion of inventories is another
factor that may bring better orders

CThe trouble with the "Hill dogs" is that they
might see an object thrown by another party

The last step is the most difficult. AL the dogs
