Professors of En- glish held a con-
vention and among other things
discussed the influence of news
papers in modifying the speech Of
the people. AS might have been
expected, some felt that this in
fluence was good, while others
thought it terrible.
In their search for short words
which will fit in the limited space
available to them. writer's of news
paper headlines have developed a
peculiarly effective, though some
times inelegant form of express
sion.
In the headlines an investigation
is called probe, because five
letters are easier to handle than

SUCH AN ORGANIZATION
DESERVES NO RECOGNITION

David LASER, president of the Work
ers Alliance union of relief clients, ad
mitted this week that the alliance fl
nanced his trip to Moscow in 1897 in
order that he might attend the Commu-
mist celebration of the goth anniversary
of the Russian revolution.
Officials of the federal government
should need no further testimony to
drop all consideration of any demands
the Workers Alliance may make. This
testimony alone should be sufficient to
outlaw the Workers Alliance as a repre-
sentative organization entitled to voice
demands upon the federal treasury.
The Moscow celebration was one of
Communists, for Communists and by
Communists. Any organization other
than a news dispensing agency which
sent a representative there could be
nothing more than a Communist agency

FOR ONCE MR. BRIDGES
IS ENTIRELY RIGHT

Harry Bridges, unnaturalized native
of Australia. commented Monday that
a United States Supreme Court decision
that former membership IN the Commu-
mist party is no reason for deportation
will not retard his enemies from contln-
ing to demand his deportation
For once Bridges is 100 per cent right.
The supreme court decision provides
no parallel with the Bridges case. The
only connection between the case de-
cided by the supreme court and the
Bridges case is that built up by propa-
ganda from the secretary of labor's Of
flee. The secretary of labor, who also
reigns over naturalization and depor
tation proceedings, is and always has
been extremely friendly to the Bridges
cause.
The Stecker case, upon which the su-
preme court ruled dealt with man who
was formerly member of the Commu-
mist party.
The sup preme court decided that for
mer membership in group seeking
overthrow of the government is not
enough to bring about deportation of
an alien. In order to provide grounds
for deportation, membership in the sub
versive organization must exist at the
time proceedings were instituted, or must
have existed at the time the alien entered
the United States, the suprem court
ruled
There is considerable room for argu
ment whether Bridges comes under the
terms of this decision. The American
Legion, for instance, believes Bridges
was a member of the subversive COM
munist party when deportation proceed
ings against him were begun. Instances
have been cited TO prove that Bridges
still confers with communist officials
regarding strategy.
If Bridges was member of the Com
munist party, sworn to bring about over
throw of the American government,
when charges were filed against him,
then he is liable TO deportation even
under the supreme court decision.
If Bridges was a member of the de-
structive Communist party when he en-
tered the United States he is subject
under the high court ruling to deporta-
ton
And, even though Bridges Communist
affiliations when charges were filed
against him, or when he entered this
country cannot be proved, he remains
liable to deportation if he can be proved
legally an undesirable alien.
After all the harm Bridges has brought
to American institutions, it should not
be hard to prove him an undesirable
alien-and as such to deport him.
The Bridges case should be tried on
its own merits-not on the merits of the
case against some obscure former Com
munist in Louisiana.

Bruce Cation in Washington
Disseets the News

WASHINGTON-Those two As
000-ton battleships which the navy
is asking Congress to build would
be the largest fighting ships ever
built-but they wouldn't necessarily
outelaSS all other ships in sheer
hitting power.
The six batteShipS the navy now
has under construction are of $4,000
tens; and the extra 10000 tons on
these two projected ones would be
il the nature of an allowance which
the navy could spend to buy one
or more OF half dozen desired
characteristics.
1t might, of course. use that extra
tonnage tc equip the new vessels
with l8-inch guns, which would
out-range and out-hit any naval
guns in existence A few expert
mental 18-inchers have already
been built at the navy yard here,
just in case. Or the extra tonnage
might be used to give the ships
heavier armor plate; standard
thickness of the belt on the ships
Low being built is 10 inches.
Much more likely than either OF
these, however. is added speed and
greater cruising radius-bigger and
huskier engines, in other words. and
larger fuel capacities. The navy
is inclined to think that it needs
these qualities more than it needs
bigger guns or heavier armor.
If Uncle Sam goes through with
the recently ly-suggeSted administra-
ton plan for exporting the cotton
surplus. he will be merchant WHO
has billion dollar stock on
his shelYeS-and if he doesn't ped
Gle it at a fair price he stands to
take a pretty good-Size loss.
The government now has on its
hands some 11,270,000 bales of cot
ton which it acquired on loans
made to growers. It got 1866 900
bales of this stock in 1894. 5283 600
bales in 1897 and 4314,000 bales last
year. All in all. the loan value of
this huge stock is S558 1000.
Under the administration pro-
posal. an additional $15000,O00
would be paid to the farmers who
floatcd leans on this cotton. That
would give the government title to
tie lot. and it would start out in
its international trading game with
Slightly more than $573000000 in
vested in its stock.
The present Congress will hear a
GOOD deal about canals, before this
session ends. At this writing six
major canal proposals are pending
The one most likely TO be approx
ed, probably. is the administration
scheme to install a second set of
locks at Panama This would cost
about 1927. .G00.000 The War De-
partment stresses this as an i'm
Eortant defense measure which
would double the canals capacity
and halVe the chance of the stop

Perhaps that is too dark a pic

Americans read with Shudder
of distaste the news that all Ger
man children must hereafter, from
the age of 10, be members of the
Hitler Youth, and go through a
series of prescribed training courses
which lead directly into the army.
We have seen the pictures of tiny
Italian children of making their
baby-like efforts to initiate the
chest-puffing, chin-throwing, Wild

TO admire.

was already old to their cave-man
ancestors hundreds of thousands of

But we would do we'll to shudder
and Utter a little less at these
things, and to pay more attention
to our own youth problem. To say
that we don't wish any such regi-
mentation as SO repels us abroad is
not enough.
Let us never forget that the
Nazi movement was largely youth
movement. The mass of its followers
came from the ranks of the mil
lions of young fellows who came
back from the war to a disorgan-
lied civil life in which they found
on place, and from the ranks of
students and other young people
who soon joined them in misery
and discomfort as the schools pour
ed them forth and civil life offered
no future. .#
Americans do not like to admit
that they have a youth problem"
We are prone to think of youth"
as just like anybody else, only
younger. 1t is not quite so.

Progressive Education association
has made five-year study of Am
erican boys and girls, and finds

There is no place for youth in
industry in the professions, or in
other areas DR.. zacnry says. "As
result, We now ask the young
people to go back and remain chill

SENATOR WAGNER'S ACT
OVAL Street J0urnaI)

Since even Senator Wagner has now
admitted that some changes in the labor
act which bears his name are desirable,
the chance that some action will be taken
in the present session of Congress to
remedy present defects is enhanced Un-
fortunately, however, neither the senator
nor the administration appear to under
stand that what is required is not just
study Of several points, but immed
late action on two phases of the Wagner
Act which require attention now.
These two points are contained in the
Bar Associations report and recommen-
dations of last January. They are an
equalization of status as between en-
ployer and employe, which Senator Wag-
ner tacitly admits does not now exist,
and clearing up of the meaning of
coercion under the terms of the act,
which should be bilaterally denied Ac-
tlon on these two points can be had swift
~. Why should there be more unwanted
delay now?
More fundamental changes in the act,
Senator Wagner to the contrary not
Wlthstanding, also deserve consideration.
Such proposals as division of the ad-
ministrative functions of the present
board into two distinct departments
the prosecuting and the iudicial-are not
to be brushed lightly aside. But these
can wait, if such waiting means speedy
enactment of the two changes outlined
above. These two alterations, if made,
would constitute one of the tangible sig
nails to business that many of the nations

CORPORATE TAXATION
HARMFUL TO EMPLOYEES
EDITOR. POST-PRESS:

Ell Oh, BOS 1-fhESS.
| was very much interested in reading
your editorial entitled Taxation That
Kills Employe Advancement
The relation between the employer and
employe is one of the most important
problems facing the country today, as
the administration has been fostering
state of hatred between these two groups,
which is not good condition for busi-
ness and the welfare of the country in
general. There must be built up a state
of mutual understanding between en-
ployes to make any business succeed.
The lack of this interest, together with
the unsettled labor relations and in
creased taxes are the principal causes of
paralyzed business.
Too little is known by the general pub
lie of the enormous tax on corporations,
and there is added each year additional
license. processing and other forms of
taxes, which continually make this bur-
den heavier.
As you are we'll aware, many compa-
nies during good business periods gave
bonuses in the form of cash or stock
and have in many instances encouraged
the employees to purchase stock.
Under the present form of taxation,
it is impossible to carry on this program,
which is certainly detriment to the
building up of goodwill between the en-
ployer and employee and the tax struc-
ture should be revised in order to allow
employees to participate in the ownership
of the corporation for whom they are
working.
