COMMUNISM, ALIEN HATRED
AND BRIDGES DEPORTATION

Joseph George Strecker's attorneys
argued before the United States Supreme
Court Tuesday that Strecker cannot be
deported from this country because the
mere fact that he is a member in the Com
munist party does not furnish sufficient
grounds for deportation.
Meanwhile Madame Frances Perkins,
secretary of labor, delays deportation
proceedings against Harry Bridges, west
coast labor agitator, on the pretense that
Bridges cannot be deported if Strecker
cannot, and there is no use having two
trials
We agree with Streckers attorneys
that membership in the Communist party
does not provide grounds for deportation.
If it did, numerous Californians other
wise good citizens would be deported,
considering the fact that the Communist
party is legally registered in this state
Neither do we agree with Madame
Perkins that Bridges cannot be deported
if Strecker cannot.
Bridges is an alien and trouble max
er Everywhere he sets foot, labor strife
arises. Reliable witnesses have quoted
him as declaring in favor of forceful
overthrow of the American government
The fact that he may be a Communist
party member, which he has denied, is
side issue.
Regardless of Strecker, we should like
10 see the Bridges case tried on its merits
=. not left hanging merely because some
other man cannot be deported.

IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD
TO ACT A ROWDY PART

At WeStWood. at CorcOran. at San
Francisco at Los Angeles, in Imperial
Valley itself labor union factions during
the last twelve months have played the
parts Of rowdy boys knocking chips off
of one another'S shoulders.
Sometimes the chips were put there by
employers, sometimes by the National
Labor Relations board. and sometimes by
the labor unions themselves.
Regardless of who is responsible, the
fact remains that roWdyiSm does no good
for anybody Business suffers, the cause
of organized labor suffers. the theory
of federal mediation suffers. The only
result may be a few more members, tenn
porarily, for some labor union.
IN Westwood. up in northern Caifor-
MIA, American Federation of Labor pick
cts this week ieered Governor Olson,
booed the National Labor Relations
board, and cursed the national guard.
The paean of hate was only a side issue,
it is true in the principal battle between
the AFL and the Congress of Industrial
Organizations. The result remains the
same:
The general public reacts against all
labor unions.
we believe organized LABOR TO be Il
beneficial force in American life. We
shall always believe that every working
man has a right to negotiate with his
employer for higher wages, better work
ing conditions and other improvements.
We also believe, however, that labor
unionism in the United States today
faces i grave threat to its very founda-
tions. 1t is face to face with the peril
of factionalism which may so becloud
the issue that the economic condition of
laborers may be forgotten in the far
lesser contest over a mere matter Of
union affiliation.
We should like to see labor unions for
get greed for gigantic memberships, stop
acting the part of rowdy boys, and get
down to the serious business of working
out with employers a sane, sound basis
for improved employer-employe rela-
tionS.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
SPEAKS THROUGH CONGRESS

The American theory of government
has been a pretty good one so Tar. In
fact it has been the best yet devised on
this troubled globe.
The American theory of government
sets up three branches. They are legls-
lative, executive and judicial. The duties
of these three branches are we'll defined
in the Constitution of the United States.
A definite attempt has been manifest
in recent years to revise these duties.
1t has even appeared at times as though
the executive branch wished to absorb
the rights and privileges of the other
two. This week the announced determl-
nation of New Deal administrative lead
ers demonstrated anew the determination
of the executive branch to make the leglS-
lative arm of government a purely sub
servient agency.
The determination was announced in
a presidential message to congress de-
claring that state of emergency now
exists in the United States relative to
persons on federal relief. The message
was a vehicle by which the congress of
the United States was told that the
executive branch intends to disregard
the law passed by congress and go on
spending Works Progress Administra-
tion funds at the present rate of speed,
at least until April.
The situation Is this:
Congress appropriated S725,000,0O0 to
continue WPA through April, after WPA
had exhausted funds provided last year
for the same purpose. The president had
asked $3.50, 100000.
Congress by this action exercised its
legislative prerogative and indicated
definite policy calling for reduction in
WPA rolls.
Now the president literally refuses to
abide by the wishes of congress. He de-
cares flatly that the executive branch
will not cut WPA rolls. He repeats his
request for the additional Sl50,00O,OOO
sliced from the appropriation bill.
The result may be this:
WPA will again exhaust its funds be-
fore June-and congress will be forced
to choose between appropriatlng the
funds the president demands, or letting
WPA go by the board.
Either way, congress will be criticized,
even though the real fault lies with the
executives.
The situation is deplorable, but it will
be remedied only by return to the basic
principles of Americanism, in which con-
gress is recognized as speaking with the
voice of the people, and the executive
branch of government is held down to
administration Of the laws written and
intended by congress.

THE LURE OF CALIFORNIA
RELIEF ALLOTMENTS

There are two migratory workers in
Imperial county today for every job
available in the harvest fields =. . and
still some federal and state relief Off
cials complain against those who say
that Californias high payments to re-
lief clients are the lures which bring
penniless itinerants to the state
Recently one relief agency issued
broadside purporting TO show that there
are not enough agricultural workers in
the state even now to harvest all crops.
The figures quoted in this broadside
somehow failed to account for the fact
that every agricultural community in
California, during harvest time, is in
tested by too many migratory workers
so many that there aren't jobs for all,
In every community the state has had
to support them. 1t still seems worth no.
tice that California pays the highest
relief totals of any state in the nation.

Is Years
In Shadow

GLENDALE. Cal, Feb. 8. CUP)-
The amazing story of a man who
l3 years ago left behind him
prison record in Oklahoma, came
to California and became chief
OF police of Glendale was made
public here last night. when the
city council voted unanimously
that Chief of Police Vernon B.
Brown shall not be removed from
office.
Records in the case, as announced
after a meeting of the council, are
these:
In March. 1925 Brown arrived in
the growing city of Glendale, enter
ed the insurance business, and
made scores of friends.
Two years later. Brown applied
for a job on the police force and
was accepted. He moved rapidly
through the ranks to captain of
police and two years ago was
appointed chief.
During recent weeks, chief Brown
received anonymous calls which
informed him that unless he made
certain promises and concessions,
his past record would be disclosed
to city officials. Brown refused,
and on the deadline, poison pic
ture of Brown was slipped under the
door of a business eSta bliShment
The picture was turned over to the
city council.
Assistant City Attorney A. l..
Lawson began an investigation
which showed that Brown had gone
to prison for embezzlement while
he was cashier of bank in May,
Okla. The investigation showed that
Brown had been convicted after
what appeared to be a plan to
help farmers and business men dur
ing two years of crop failures. When
his bank was unable to loan money
TO the farmers, Brown aSSertedly
borrowed money on his own in a
larger city in Oklahoma. As Securi-
ty, however, he used assets already
pledged to guarantee loans made
by the bank.
Brown served a short term in
Oklahoma before he was pardoned
by the governor. He then moved
to California and joined his wife
and three children, who had pre-
ceded him The children were never
told of their fathers prison term.
The city council took the posi-
ton that Brown had redeemed
himself by his spotless record in
Glendale 1t decided to retain him
for the present at least, and re-
ported that unless further investi-
cation proved the efficiency of the
police department might be i'm
paired, no drastic action was con-
tcmplated
Il have given every bit of infor-
nation concerning my past TO Glen
dale officials Brown said. My
Glendale record speaks for itself "
During his years in Glendale,
Chief Brown used his real name
the same that he changed to a
number when he went to prison
in Oklahoma.

At 70, full of years and recollec-
tions. Harry Daugherty says he is
going TO write one more book.
The attorney general of the Hard
ing administration, now spending
his declining years oscillating be-
tween Florida and Columbus, O..
has confided to Michael Desmond
Columbus Citizen reporter, that he
is going to make public a lot OF
sacred but important secrets in
the book on which he is now work

Mr.. Daugherty is going to be re-

Harding is gone, and Coolidge

papers have never been published
and probably never will be. There
is a rumor that they were all de-
stroyed By Mrs Harding before hei
death. In fact, the mortality OF
documents concerned with the
"normalcy period" Of American his

Lessons of History
(Christian Science Monitor

In recent speech in Britain,
Sir Charles Grant Robertson, pre-
Sident of the Historical Association,
laid stress on the fact that the
roots of many great issues at
present before the world lie deep
in the past; and he urged his
torianS to keep before the nation
the importance of the study OF his
tory
The average citizen is constant
~ in need of such a reminder
not altogether because he under
values "the lessons of history = but
also because he is apt to think
that they are such that he who
runs may read; whereas, in fact,
wide and comprehensive reading Is
necessary to assimilate any OF them
truly. AS Mr. E. E. Kellett SAID
lately, &c. it has become increas-
ingly plain that history is no long
cr an affair for a single man
even if, like Macaulay, he deals
in a thousand pages, with but a
dozen years. The lessons each spe-

In addition. modern research has
shown that the individual histor-
ian, however determined upon i'm
partially, has seldom or never been
able to escape entirely the in
fluence Of his own preconceptions
and inherent Sympathies patriot
ism or political lcanings have
often insensibly biased his outlook
or he has remembered too well that
as Professor Trevelyan put it, Clio
is a Muse, which has led him in
voluntary to desert strict accuracy
at the lure of rhetoric and the
moving passage. In particular. the
partisan and patriotic view has al
ways been in evidence in the school
textbooks Of every nation, and al
though, outside of the totalitarian
States, there has been an improve
ment in recent years, the ten
dency is naturally an extremely
difficult one to overcome.

cry of Man. This book VIII nclp
YOU solve many of life's problems
This is what he says:
parents should be thankful that
their child has sense OF inferior
ity. The children to worry about
are those who always think they
are smart, who know more than
their elders, who see no reason Tor
painful practice, or humble efforts
The child, however, who feels in
ferior can usually be trained to de
velop abilities which in time VIII
make him truly superior. All gen
uine superiority grows out OF
sense of inferiority. The person
who admits his inferiority, and then
does something about it, develops
superiority.
There are those who are in
ferior and refuse to recognize their
inferiority, or who believe there is
nothing they can do to become Su-
perior." These, he says, are prac-
tically hopeless.
"On the other hand" he con-
tinues in a passage I find l have
underlined, there are those who
believe they can develop their per
sonalities and that only what they
do with themselves will result in
their achievement" These are the
ones who get ahead and do things.
They know they have shortcomings
and they do something about 1t.
They seek to improve themselves,
and they pass these who feel su-
perior.
There is one kind of child to be
very much concerned about, Dr..
Link says. And that is the child
who is always saying, Il can't do
it," This sort of child has far
less encouraging personality than
the child who will not admit per-
manent defeat
And don't feel badly if you dis
cover that your child does not have
a high I. @. This 81 O. means
intelligence quotient. Your childs
|. c. does not remain stationary
This is what he says on that most
important subject:
The high 1. @. Of brilliant
child may fall through neglect, or
lazinesS, while a naturally less bril-
liant child may raise his l. @.
through consistent effort and APP
plication. In fact, the whole trend
of scientific psychological studies in
recent years has been towards es-
tabliShing the small influence of
heredity as compared with the pow
crful influence Of development and
training"
Sc don't worry if your child has
an inferiority complex. or low I. @.
But do lot of worrying if he does
not want to overcome it. If he has
the desire TO improve himself, then
he will advance himself and pass
the child who started out with a
feel OF superiority, or a high L. q.
The whole thing gets down 10
this: If person wants to improve
himself, he'll do it.
