II Seems Better to Dance
Than Listen to Speeches
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

plymouth, England - (by
4 wireless 1t seems a shame
to interrupt your dancing here
in the open air above the sea,
for the twilight is passing and
soon the blackout will come and
we must all dispense.
II seems better that you dance,
as you do evening after evening,
than that you listen to speeches.
When / have gone away and
think back on this day l will
think of the city where, when it
was leveled to the ground, the
people--young and old-came
out upon this lovely hoe over
looking the harbor and each
day at dusk listened 10 music
and danced together.
WHEN I had walked where
w the streets once were and
stood where homes once were

was brought here to see the
Mayflower steps and the May
flower Monument, which de-
struction did not touch.
From these steps 300 years
ago a band of Pilgrims set out
for the New World.
You have commemorated their
going with a modest monument
and bronze inscription. And
over there across the ocean is
another Plymouth with another
inscription upon a rock.
THAT inscription says some
i thing like this:
This rock marks the first
landing place of the Pilgrims
of the Mayfower. In hunger
and cold, battling Indians and
the wilderness and burying their
dead in common graves lest the
Indians should know how many
had persisted, they here laid
the foundations of a state in
which through countless ages
men should have liberty and
freedom in their worship of
God.
The Rock admoniSheS all who
pass 10 remember the Pilgrims
and not rest Until Liberty is
established through the
earth
NOV you, too. have battled
~ savagery and in the wilder
ness of rock and rubble that your
city has become, YOU, too, have
buried uncounted dead.
But you, too, are building out
Of ashes world in which
through countless ages men shall
have liberty.
Between the Mayflower steps
and Plymouth Rock there was
once a sea that only the adven-
turous dared cross.
Today a channel spanned by
planes in a few hours separates
the steps from the Rock, and
behind the Rock lies a continent,
and the Pilgrim band has grown
into l30,000,000 people who live
in liberty.
The wilderness did not Stifle
the Pilgrims. and the grass that
grew over their graves did not
blot out their memory.

The Editor
TO THE EDITOR:


I WISH some one with a mod
ern education would help me
find the solution 10 some of our
present day problems. Right at
the start I'll admit I'm of the
old school where a promise was
a promise and if it was broken
there was a logical reason for il
and it was done openly and
without dime novel mystery in
jected.
We shout to the world that we
abhor this European carnage
and that we are totally unpre-
pared TO defend ourselves in
case of war. We add that COM
muniSm must go but do we do
anything to really get rid of it?
That's one of the answers that
some one with a more liberal
education will have to help me
with.
OF course we all know we
have no SaboteurS in this COun-
try. When we catch EN- red
handed we Immediately discover
it's been a mistake on our part
and after "a 10 rs hours in
modern Jail where they have
been allowed the comforts they
have become used 10 since land
ing on our shores, we free them
with profound apologies for our
stupidity and once more they
are free to continue their under
handed work.
It's only in Europe that they
have saboteurS and, catching
them, really give them the
works
But getting back 10 the war.
We shed tears over the holocaust
but do we make an honest effort
10 end II by refusing TO send
supplies of any kind. either war
material or anything else?
We do not! If the people Of
Europe had To raise their own
food and manufacture their sup
plies they would have little time
left TO fight. We seem 10 work
under the theory that fire is eX-
tinguished by adding fuel.
And our own unpreparedness.
That's another puzZling question
We freely admit we need all we
can make. yet we 90 blithely on
shipping supplies TO every coun-
try that asks for thcm-even
doing our biz in over-powering
the Firms who were the only
people honest enough 10 make
an effort 10 pay us what they
owed TO us for the last war.
Evidently the wisenheimerS in
Washington have taken 10 mod
ern education. To me it's all a
little confusing and slightly per-
verse.
And now the oil companies
are to be forbidden 10 spend
their Town money 10 advertise

Standards in Peril


THE power to regulate and PROHIBIT consumer
credit which President Roosevelt has now vested IN
the Federal Reserve Board potentially the forerunne
of almost unmaginabe disruption of normal American
life and enterprise
If the maximum power of PROHIBITION is en-
ployed there will be almost certain demolition OF the
standards we live by.
1t will lower the living standards of the American
people
1t will curtail the purchasing power of the people
1t will shrink American production.
And of course will lead to drastic curtailment of
all normal marketing practices
THE Communist Party in the United States has been
advocating economic and industrial disruption in this
country long before the present administration be-
came hysterical national defense.
Why does present American administration so
often and so arbitrarily find the Communist Party Line
so necessary for us?
How far does it expect to 60 along frankly Com
munstc course without being regarded by the Ameri-
can people as a COMMUNIST ADMINISTRATION?
1t has gravey committed itself to what amounts to
an economic and political alliance with Communist Rus
STA with an ultimate military alliance among the prob
abilities of the immediate future.
1t is imposing economic and political controls upon
the American people which the Communist Party itself
would impose if it had the power.
What is the difference between having Communistc
under the preext of being something else or
having it under its RIGHT NAME?
Of course we will not have an entirely Communistic
government country long the American people
have access independent press and radio enjoying and
exercising the right to criticize and oppose the govern
ment including its Communstic policies.
But the American people may we'll wonder how long
they will have unmpared and uncontrolled press and
radio
NNE of the destructive consequences of the regula-
~ ton and prohibition of consumer credit will be to
control advertising and thus to impair the economic
supports of free press.
It should be noted that the tax bill recently
approved by the House of Representatives included
tax on radio advertising which is the opening wedge in
and destruction of all mediums Of free expression and
opinion.
1t should be further noted that the pending price
control bill includes further provisions to control normal
advertising practice thus further establishing the prece
dents for subservient press-whch is what Communists
advocate and accomplish wherever they rule
Is it not amazing and enghtening as well that the
basic economic factors essential to maintenance of free
American press being persstently and consistently
attacked by almost every undertaking and policy or
the present administration?
The American people stand to lose many important
and valuable things if emulation and application of Com
munistic principles and policies continues to be the re-
course of government
But they should not let the keystone of their iber
ties the untrammelled right of free speech and opinion
fall to Communist intrigue lest freedom and democracy
be permauentv lost

State Economies on Red Ink for
December as Finances Ger Well

SACRAMENTO, Jan. IT. (UP)-
Considerably less red ink was re-
quired to keep California's books
last month than in December, 1899,
Controller Harry B. Riley said to-
day in reporting a favorable trend
in the states long-ailing finances.
The state lived only $8,227 ,375
beyond its means last month. This
was a good sign, Riley said, because
in the same month of 1899 it went
S14,705, $40 into the hole, and De-
cember usually is month of hea-
w state spending.
Most cheering news, however, was
the fact that revenue for the last
six months exceeded expenditures
by S6,507, ,447, but this was offset by
heavy spending in the first six
mcnthS of 1910 to tally an increase
In the cash deficiency for the year
of $6,494,82l.
The years deficiency left the state

This company has been in busi-

The General Tire passenger tire

The Dual tires are intended

The new General passenger tires
