THE COMMUNIST PARTY

Democracy does not guarantee tC
minority groups the right to con-
duct their affairs in secrecy Along
with the liberty to think and speak
as we please must go individual re-
sponsibility before the public for
such conduct
This underhand method of the
Communists brings them under sus-
picion. The Dies Congressional In
vestigating Committee believes the
Communist party is un-American,
and dominated by Russia.
One well-informed authority has
written: THE totalitarion method is
to crush an organization that ap-
pears to be dangerous to the State.
The democratic method is to expose
the aims and activities of such or
ganizations and to punish individ-
uals guilty of violating the law, with
out infringing the rights of any min
ority to organize for the promotion
of its cause" Mr.. Dies would make a
very serious mistake if he should
overlook this distinction. Especially
in period of tension, democracy can
best be protected by clinging stead
lastly to democratic practices"

Man Bites Dog

It's news when a man bites dog.
And it's also news when city pro-
poses that a private utility company
take over and manage its municipal
water system.
That has happened in Louisville,
Kentucky. The city's water system
during late years has become an in
creasing pain to the taxpayers.
Louisyille's mayor appointed a COM
mittee to study possible ways and
means of eliminating the fast-grow-
ing deficit. That report has just
been published. and it provides an
Illuminating commentary on how eff
ficiency in business flies out the
window when politics comes in the
door
Key to the trouble lies in the fact
that the president of the Municipal
Water Company must be selected
from the Board of Alderman. Its
other executives are appointed by
city officials Result is that few men
OF actual experience in the water
business have ever been on the
Board of Water WOrks-and, mas
much as the membership changes
with each change in elective posi-
tions. what experience they do gain
is lost TO the Water Company when
ever new regime comes in The
late structure is chaOtiC-being, ac-
cOrding to the report. too high for
more than half the consumers. too
low for about a third. and fair for
only 121s per cent. And where ac-
tual water company experience
shows that not more than so per
cent of gross revenue should be
consumed by operating expenses,
these expenses in Louisville absorb
ed over 61 per cent of the gross last
year.
The report proposes that the city
enter into a contract with the Am
erican Water Works and Electric
Company. an old private manage
ment firm. This company has made
Louisville a very remarkable offer.
II will provide all its engineering.

cling, supervisory and other facili-
ties. And it won't get a nickel in

in retirement charges and increases

sum equal to 25 per cent of

The fact that private enterprise can
make such an offer is a biting com
on politics in business.

Who'll Loan To Small
Business?
By }. E. JONES

Within the last ten years Ameri-
can politicians have been blowing
soap bubbles in discussions about
small business" Most of these bub-
bles have disappeared in the air.
One of the theories of current lib
eral government has been founded
'upon the idea that if any class OF
people want more money than they
are able to earn that the Govern
ment should find some way of lend
ing it to them. That disease" was
acquired during the World War, and
as a result there are still billions of
unpaid war debts that never will be
paid. We also spread loans over
Latin-America and got nothing back
but sardonic smiles. The Latins
transferred their commerce and
trade and became customers of Eu-
ropean countries, without any trace
of sentiment.
When Mr.. Hoover was President
he started this Jesse Fl. Jones gran
diose Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration. II must have been a good
thing inasmuch as the New Deal kept
it, and has pump-primed it as a pro-
gram to supply money to big bust
ness. little business. and farmers.
A lot of that money was wasted
on ducks and brakes"
The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System still wants
it known that it is particularly in
terested in small business credits
Board member Ernest G. Draper. de-
fines small business as "a small or
medium sized concern which hires
500 or less employees or has total
assets of less than one million dol
lars"
To a newspaper man that sounds
like big business, but to a New Deal
er the definition means all small
manufacturing industries hiring 500
employees or less
The banking business of our cOun-
try has always arranged loans on
shOrt-term credits. The Government
has been increasing longtime cred
its So the idea is to increase the
lending speed of the Federal Govern
ment-on the theory that the taxpay-
ers have endless wealth. LOng-term
loans from the Government are in
the cards for small business.
Obviously this isn't an entirely
fresh idea. because new homes,
apartment houses and other build
ing3 have multiplied since the Gov
ernment resources were used to in
sure loans for such properties. Farm
credit and control are sustained by
similar devices
Your banker friends will tell you
that they keep themselves cOntinu-
ally informed concerning the affairs
of all small business men who are
their epositOrs-dOwn to the real
small ones who are in the thousand
dollar class instead of up to a mil
lion. Some of them have five employ
ees in contrast to 500. They have the
proper amount of money to loan all
this class of concerns.
Therefore that brings u5 back to
where We started ten years ago
when local banking business was a
local proposition. Then the
Federal Reserve System began to ex-
pand Is it all that it is cracked up
to be?

SUOrd of Tradition

Mameluke swords are the tTadi-
tionaI blades worn by officers OF
the Marine Corps. Nowadays they
are rarely used in battle, as the use
of automatic pistols and trench war
fare have changed certain principles
of combat. and the use of swords as
weapons is rapidly becoming Obso-
lete.
But the Mameluke still remains as
a side-arm of the sea soldiers, and
isused for parades or ceremonies
or for formal military affairs. The
fighting Mamelukes. after whom it
was named. were prominent in Egyp-
tian military history for more than
500 years.
Marine officers of Revolutionary
days apparently used any type of
sword they preferred. or could Sc
cure. It was not until 1904 that the
Secretary of the Navy issued orders
for a "yellow-mounted sabre" to be
carried by officers of the Corps
At the close of the war with the
Barbary States early in the last
century, Lieutenant Presley N. o.
Bannon, of the Marines, returned
from the Shores of Tripoli with
handsome sword of the Mameluke
type. The State of Virginia present
ed him with a similar blade. Many
believe that O'Bannons heroic ex-
ploits helped to make the sword pop
ular in the Corps.
It was not until 1925, however,
that the Mameluke was mentioned in
Marine Corps regulations, and it ap-
pears to have been worn thereafter
for about thirty-four years. Then the
Corps adopted the army type of
blade. returning in 1875 to the Name
luke pattern. virtually the same as
that worn by them today.
Topped with a Mameluke grip,
which is fashioned somewhat like
that of an old-style duelling pistol,
the sword has rather thin. slightly
curved blade, 2S to 32 inches long,
with a straight cross guard. The
name of its owner as well as the
words United States Marines" are
usually inscribed on its blade

Woodrow Wilson's Papers

The Library of Congress in Wash
ington has been given the papers of
the late President Woodrow Wilson.
There is an enormous amount of doc
uments and letters and other papers
that cover every phase of Mr.. Will
sons life.
The gift. which is made by Mrs
Wilson, is particularly important be-
cause it contains the official and con-
fdential files of years of the Will
son Administration. and in particu-
lar those documents relating to
events preceding and during the
World War. The records of the fa-
nous Versailles Peace Conference.
discussed throughout the World at
this time. are included.
The Wilson manuscript collection
is a part of American history and it
will supplement the papers of near
ly all Presidents of our country. in
cluding Washington. Lincoln, and
Mckinley who were war Presidents.
