Flowers for
Irene
By JANE OSBORN
@ Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.

THE other teachers had noticed
4 that every Monday some time
during the noon recess long box
bearing a florists name was deliv-
cred to Irene in the second grade
room. One Of the older teachers
made the remark to another that
it was, of course, only to "show off"
that Irene had asked her "admirer"
to have the flowers sent to the
school. That was Miss Gilbert of
the seventh grade, who finally could
not restrain herself from saying
something caustic about 1t to Irene
Hall.
"Odd idea having your flowers
sent here" said Miss Gilbert, smil-
ing unpleasantly as she dropped in
the second grade room after hav-
ing eaten her lunch from box in
her own room. "My friends always
prefer to send flowers to my apart
ment. / suppose you wanted us all
to know you had such devoted
swain"
Irene looked up surprised from
her task OF taking the flowers from
the box that had just been deliv-
cred, and placing them in vases she
had arranged on her desk. "I'm my
own devoted swain," she laughed.
"Did you think some one sent them
to me?"
Miss Gilbert noted the name and
address on the box cover and was
jotting it down for memorandum.
"Ask for Mr.. Richard Brad
street." said Irene. "He's the one
! always see and he's so interested
in the flowers. His uncle owns the
place, and this Mr.. Richard Brad
street has gone into the business
since he left college. Be sure and
give him your order"
So Miss Gilbert, austere and un-
prepossessing school teacher, went
to Bradstreet's, asked for "Mr.
Richard" and ordered ga box
every week, just like the one sent to
Miss Irene Hail." The next Monday
Miss Gilbert proudly displayed her
box from Bradstreet's, which con-
tanned a collection of flowers as
choice and numerous as those sent
to Irene-save that tucked in Irene's

FIFTH COLUMN

(From Electrical Workers. JournaD
Much foolish and impotent talk
about about the Fifth Column is 60
ing the rounds. Who are the Fifth
Columnists? First, who are they not?
They are not hungry men seeking
work in the WPA. They are not in
consequential government clerks on
the civil service rolls. The Fifth Col
umn in this country is represented by
the following:
1. Paid spies, agents and tourists
of Germany and Russia in this coun-
try.
2. American adherents of Hitler
and Stain, directly and indirectly OBJ
ligated to the foreign dictators. This
includes the American Communist
Party, and the Nazi Bund.
3. Fellow travellers, who abet and
aid these Americanized adherents to
nazism.
a. All who advocate totalitarianism
There is no use to kid ourselves.
In this hour, citizen is either for
the American way of life, or for the
German and Russian way of life. No
issue has been as irreparably and
clearly drawn by the blood of inno-
cents spilled on Flanders Field.

REFUND TO UNION ORDERED

New York City (ILNS). A recent
New York Supreme Court ruling di-
rects three officials of the attorney
of Local Of the Brotherhood of Con-
solidated Edison Employees to return
S6,170 to the Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, A. F. of L.. The money
was withdrawn shortly before the
formation of the so-called independ-
ent union. Funds collected from men,
bers of Local B-830 of the Electrical
Workers Union, became the property
of the local and could be expended
only in accordance with the provi-
sions of the constitution of the Broth
erhood International, the court ruling
held.

FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1910.
SOUND AMERICAN PRINCIPLES

Leaders of sixteen organizations
under the auspices of the Citizenship
Educational Service have issued a
statement calling upon all citizens to
unite in defending the essentials of
democracy. The statement epitamizes
sound Americanism and deserves wide
circulation.
Among organizations represented
in the appeal are the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches, the Workers Educa-
ton Bureau of America, the Boys
Clubs of America, the Camp Fire
Girls and the Boy Scouts.
The declaration of principles in
cludes the resolution:
To be vigilant and courageous
in maintaining human sympathy
and respect for the rights of 9TH
ers;
To beware of the enemies of
democracy, whatever their pass
words or places of birth, and
wherever they may be found;
To stand united with all lov-
ers of freedom, whatever their
tongue or origin;
To keep our nation strong in
valor, and confident in freedom,
SO that government of the people,
by the people, for the people shall
not perish from the earth.
AS the New York Times remarks:
'These principles are poison to all
enemies of democracy. They march
side by side with military prepared
ness. Without military preparedness
they cannot be successfully defended,
but without them military prepared
ness would command no enthusiasm
and would probably fail"

." Where with our
roo Little Hatchet we
tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

A lot of things are going to have
to change in the coming months. Many
will try to stop the changes and will
mainly hurt themselves. But also they
will hurt the nation somewhat.
Those who try to make national
defense cost more than it needs to
cost, in order that their selfish inter-
ests may be served are going to hurt
and in the end get hurt.
Whether these be capitalists trying
to get 10 per cent instead of a per
cent; or whether they are stubborn
labor leaders trying to put up bars
that don't belong there, makes little
difference.
Those who look at what happened
to France, in Norway, in the low
countries, will know what is meant.
We don't need to have any hysteria
in order to say that also we can't
stand any selfish monkey business.
We don't need to have hysteria to
know, coldly and soberly, that we con-
front the totalitarian menace.
From four sources the finger of
danger points: The Nazis, the Fas-
cists, the Communists, the Japanese,
now swinging toward a Nazi economy
Unless the Nazis are completely
smashed, the Nazi economy will gov
ern world trade, except for this hemi-
sphere and even here it will hit hard
whether or not we like it.
Lots of people prefer to go to the
ball game and forget it.
But 1T won't forget THEM when
the time comes.
The Nazis have offered to close
huge deals in Argentina and Uru-
quay on barter basis-just trading
commodities. In these schemes the
Nazis take what they want, give what
they please-and when.
Nice business and full OF tricks
to kick back at your Uncle Sam and
ultimately at American exports,
which means American wages and
hours-right slam bang into the home
of the American worker.
He doesn't see it coming, but COM
ing it is, sure enough.
And here's a funny thing. The
United States has 60 per cent of the
worlds visible gold supply. Mostly
buried at Fort Knox and West Point.
Gold has been valuable as an inter-
national money standard.
But the Nazis now say, "gold is
not an actual, but an assumed value"
That means gold has value only
as long as governments say so.
When they get ready to say it has
no value as money, then it will have
none.
And if the dominating burglars of
Nazified Europe say gold is out the

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

the petty squabbling, the indifference
to danger, the class warfare which ex-
listed in France, it will be laying itself
wide open to the same fate that has
befallen the French Republic.
Anticipating the part that will be
played by employers and workers
organizations in the peace negotia-
tions that will come with the end of
the war in Europe, the International
Labor Office in Geneva, Switzerland
has just released report on "Meth-
DDS of COLLABORATION between the Pub
lie Authorities, Workers Organiza-
tions and Employers Organizations"
GAS soon as the war is over the
world will be faced by the tremendous
task of social and economic recon-
struction which cannot be successfully
carried out unless there is close col
laboration between the authorities and
the organized forces of production
and labor-that is, the employers and
workers organizations" the report
says.
The report does not pretend to be
exhaustive, but it presents a picture
of the value of the tripartite form
of collaboration and the vital influ-
ence which is exercised by organized
employer and worker opinion on social
and economic policies.
"The problem is indeed one of per-
manent universal interest and may be
said to dominate all other questions
of social policy" the report declares.
at is of topical interest at present
in every country in which the econ
omic and social situation calls for
community of effort. 1t is of special
importance for the belligerent coun-
tries, which are engaged in economic
warfare as well as in military war;
fare and are all obliged to strain every
nerve to achieve victory"

Boy Saves 500 Sheep.

presence OF mind on the part Of
sixteen year old Victor Lazarev
saved 500 sheep when snowstorm
swept down the Crimean steppe.
Moscow reports say the sheep be-
came frightened and refused to
move to the Budyonny collective
farm, where they belonged, and the
shepherds had to spend the night
with the flock. A crowd of farmers
summoned by the boy were unable
to bulge the animals, until the
young shepherd thought of walking
in front of them and ringing bell.
The sheep promptly followed the
boy and bell.

35 Cent Minimum Asked
In Leather Goods Trade

Washington, D. C.-The luggage

lished under the Fair Labor Stand

to recommend minimum wage rate
of 35 cents an hour for those en-
ployed in the industry.

Latest issue of the press reports OF
the British Trades Union Congress
received in the United States says
that "the national unity of France
is strikingly asserted in a manifesto
issued jointly" by French organized
employers and workers.
"The signatories," the report says,
twill unite their efforts to increase
production to the farthest possible
limit, and to avoid any waste or any
disorder which might undermine the
national safety.
"By such cooperation, undertaken
in this spirit, they will form united
front which will fight and defeat all
trouble e-mongers, whoever they may
be.
"In the French Republic, fighting
for it's existence, there is no room
for selfish interests or class-biased
deeds or doctrines"
The British report was dated June
IL, some ten days before the collapse
of French resistance.
Unfortunately, the determination
expressed in the manifesto came much
too late to save France. If the CO.
operation and the will to fight set
forth in brave words in the manifesto
had been present months or years
previously, there might have been
an entirely different story to tell of
the Nazi blitzkrieg. But there was
too much of the selfish interests and
class-biased deeds and doctrines which
the manifesto denounced.
The French manifesto now has only
a melancholy interest, but it can at
least serve as warning to the remain
ing democracies, including the United
States. 1t is a guide post to what
not to do in a world endangered by
totahtarian might.
IL this nation permits its strength to
be broken down by the lack of unity,

America will safeguard her freedom
and security by making available to
the British or Canadian govern
ments at least so of the overage
destroyers which are left from the
days of the World War. If the
destroyers help save the British
fleet, they may save us from the
danger and hardship of another war.
Americans should not shrink from
duty because of possible hazards.
I know that many sincere patriots
are frightened at the thought of
even the smallest act because they
think such acts would lead US closer
to the day when another American
Expeditionary Force sets sail for
Europe. It is my opinion that in
this war it would be absolute folly
even to consider sending another
expeditionary force. No one is con-
sidering it and those who may say
that any one is considering it are
deceiving themselves and deceiving
you.
NcW h1uu Oh WAIs
We must have the strength Of
character to face the truth. Fore
most among the truths which We
will ignore at our peril is that the
time needed to build our own de-
fenses may be heightened II We have
the courage to make the small but
important contribution which is still
within our power toward the sus-
tanning Of the British defense.
A new kind of war is loose in the
world-fought with all weapons. in
cluding treason, and fought most
insidiously during what some Of our
countrymen call "peacetime." It is
a war against the civilization that
we know. It is a revolution against
all the values which we have cher
ished and which we wish our chill
dren to cherish in the future. It Is
q revolution which denies the dignity
of man and which banishes the hope
Of brotherhood and comradeship on
earth. We can see it developing
right before our very eyes.
It must be faced with daring and
with devotion. We must lift up our
hearts. We must reafi1rm our noble
tradition. We must make ourselves
so strong that the tradition we live
by shall not perish from the earth.
