A FREE SPEECH ESSENTIAL

The American Youth Commission
in urging that youth organizations
should not be suppressed simply be-
cause they irritate some adults, gave
the youth groups some advice which,
if needed, would improve their stand
ing in the eyes of the public.
Pointing out that every adult has
had the experience of being young
that no youth has had the experience
of being an adult, the commission
added:
ITO compensate so far as possible
for this lack of experience, all youth
organizations should take special care
to avoid outraging the adult COM
munity through conspicuous bad man.
ners and through gross failure to give
a hearing to adult points Of view.
"This is an elementary rule for any
youth organization dealing with con-
troversial problems which is inter-
ested in self-preservation and effec-
tive action"
Advising youth organizations to
hear speakers presenting different
points of view, the commission said:

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The Third Republic of France is
no more. For seventy years the Third
Republic bore aloft the torch of de-
mocracy first lighted in the early and
hectic days of the First French Re-
public. France with her workers and
peasants marched forward to the bat
tie cry of Liberty, Eqality and Broth
erhood" only to have her surge upward
and onward hurled back by the black
legions of Nazi Germany.
With scarcely dissenting vote the
French Parliament declared the Third
Republic dead and placed in the hands
of Marshall Petain the authority to
write for France new constitution
for the formation of a government
along Fascist lines. The new govern
ment will be dictatorially run by a
triumvirate headed by Piere Laval,
who for years has urged closer rela-
tions with Germany and Italy. So the
last act of the French Parliament
ends in national hari-kari with inter
national repercussions.
The preamble to the declaration
calling for Fascist government for
conquered France states that the new
regime would be aimed at "sover-
eighty of the state, independence of
governmental power, authority but
also liberty, defense of the family,
reorganization of government and also
institution of the cooperative sys-
tem." With these words the freedom
of France is sealed so long as the
power of the totalitarian states is in
the ascendency.

ers. Labor will name a committee to

mittee in working out a solution of the
problem of industry alleged to be
leaving the state.
Charges that labor was principally
responsible for the exodus of indus
try from New York City were as
sailed by julius Hoehman, vice presi-
dent of the International Lawies' Gar
ment Workers. Union. He said gar
ment concerns have been leaving New

Legislature to ascertain facts regard
ing the alleged exodus of industry
from the state.
"The Federation is prepared to CO.
operate fully with your committee" /"

Grafton of Labor is inclined to the be-
lief that the allegations are very much
exaggerated We are in accord with
your committee and assure you of
orr fullest co-operation.

"If some of the points of view upon
presentation seem lacking in intelli-
gence or honesty, they should never
theless be heard courteously, a rule
of conduct which may be commended
to audiences of adults as well as of
youth.
"a willingness to hear more than
one view is essential to the mainte-
nance of the American tradition of
free speech"
The advice of the commission, while
intended for youth groups, would be
good medicine for any organization
seeking public favor.

MEMORIAL TO GREAT LEADER

The late Andrew Furuseth, veteran
maritime labor leader, has been hon.
ored in a bronzez and granite memo
rial made for the Sailors Union of
the Pacific. 1t is to be erected in a
San Francisco park.
The memorial is bronze bust three
feet high, the work of Hal Bayard
Runyon, San Francisco artist and
sculptor. The bust stands on a nine
foot granite shaft.
On the granite base is a simple
inscription, "Andrew Furuseth, 1854,
1888, emancipation Of seamen. Erected
by the Sailors Union of the Pacific" !"
Carved deep into the granite are
the words of the maritime leader him
self, "You can put me in Jail, but you
cannot give me narrower quarters
than as a seamen have always had
You cannot give me coarser food than
! have always eaten. You cannot
make me lonelier than | have always
been.'
The inscription and Furuseth's own
words are fitting tribute to great
leader of labor-a leader whose life
and work will always be an inspira-
tion to American organized workers.

French Republic can be traced to
these and other causes.
France as conquered nation is
in no better position to dictate the
terms of government that shall rule
her people. The heel of the conquer
ing dictator allows little if any free
dom of action.
This is true in spite of the press
attacks of Italy and Germany upon
the announcement of the new order
in France. Germany and Italy re-
mind France that her repentance"
has come too late and that in the
event of an ultimate German and Ital-
ian victory the "very existence of
France will be in jeopardy"
French democracy can not be dead.
The tradition of liberty can not be
snuffed out in so short an interval.
The history and spirit of France must
live on in it's workers and peasants.
France is chained by superior
force, trapped by her own mistakes,
but not forever. The people of France
will yet live to take their place among
the worlds defenders of the rights
and liberty of democratic government.
Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood
will once more rise in France to sweep
back the enslaving tide of the dicta-
torships. All the hopes of France
now rest in the ultimate and crushing
defeat of the totalitarian forces.
'The fact that all inclusive blue
prints for a better world when ap-
piled have never brought satisfactory
results in the past, does not deter the
impractical theorist, or the dema-
gogue, or compound of both, from
launching new and more national and
world saving plans which, among
other things, includes the scrapping
of the methods and policies which have
developed through years of expert
ence, and which have been found sound
and serviceable. John P. Frey.
