Wanted: a Red Island

THE Communist has grown to such proportions
in the United States that it is high time the Depart
of Justice dropped its "appeasement policy and
took drastic action.
At the present time there 1254 Russians mostly
Communists, still in the country WHO HAVE BEEN
ORDERED DEPORTED.
Some of these cases go back to 1884.
The reason why they have not been sent back to
Russia of the bland land lying statement of
the Stain that these deporees mo longer
Russian citizens" Therefore the Soviet government
refuses to re-admit them.
And Uncle Sam, with its usual incurable and ncred
ibe gullbilty, has believed the Stain government.
WHAT can really be done by vigorous action the
w part of our government illustrated in the
of Mikhal Nicholas CORN Los Angeles employe of
Russian travel agency
CORN convicted of bribng civilian employe of
the United States Navy Intelligence Service to divulge
important information.
He was fined $4,000 sadded with court costs and
given six years in the penitentiary-OR pay the fine
IMMEDIATELY and GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY IN
4S HOURS.
MESS THAN "a HOURS CORN was on his way to
Moscow via Siberia
WHY HAVE NOT THE OTHER CASES OF THE
COMMUNIST DEPORTEES BEEN HANDLED WITH
THE vIGoR OF THE CORN CASE?
THERE'S the case for instance of Mrs Earl Browder
Russian born ------
She has been ordered dcported for illegal entry She
has not been deported because the Soviet government
(payng its old trick AGAIN. denies that she is any longer
Russian citizen
But suppose she has been tried and convicted for the
alleged penal crime behind the deportation order?
She would have been liable to a fine Of $1,000 and
year in prison.
If this had been held over her it is likely HER FINE
would have been quickly paid by the Russian embassy at
Washington and STAIN would have quickly found that
Mrs Browder lros Russian citizen.
IT is high time stopped treating these Red enemies Of
very lives as if they were merely guilty of mis-
demeanor.
Therefore Congress should set aside an island
perhaps in the PaGfc-as a penal colony for all Fifth
Column potters and all deporees that their native
tries refuse to receive
During the Civil War the federal government had
such an island for traitors 1t the Island Of Dry
Tortugas off the Florida coast.

w covered one of the great
American authorities on the old
time free lunch. His name is
j. f. Phelan and he lives at
Bellflower, Cal. and we gather
that in his time he did lot of
travelling a bout the United
States and. made a thorough
scientific study of the free lunch
in many different cities.
His studies were optical and
otherwise. He prese
wealth of data on the subject.
Mr.. p e an was a glass
bottle blower by trade. He in
forms us that there was a great
difference of opinion among the
members of that craft as to
which cities of the nation pro-
vided the best free lunch.
After much winnowing of
testimony, it seems that the
argument finally settled down
to two-St. Louis and Milwau-
kee. They were both great
beer cities and beer drinkers
regarded free lunch as their in
alienable right.
Mr.. Phelan does not recall
that any definite decision was
finally reached in the debate as
to the merits of st. Louis and
Milwaukee. though his memory
is quite vivid DON the PROPOSE
tion that they were both ter
rife.
In both cities. German cook
ing predominated in the free
lunch. In both, too. you were
seated at a table in many places
and the free lunch was served
on plates. if you desired, though
there was also free lunch on
counters.
LIE RECOLLECTS that
IL Nagers in uptown st.
Louis was noted for corned beef
as the piece de resistance Of
its free lunch. You took
couple of slices of bread and
got in line at a counter which
was presided over by a colored
chef. AS you passed him, You

the bar. We imagine il would

faux pas for a free lunch GUS
toner to give the bar a miss.
Mr.. Phelan thinks the corned
beef was usually on tap during
the rush hour after the show
at the old Columbia theater,
which was then on the Orpheum
time.
OF MINIATURES free lunch,
" Mr.. Phelan's fondest recol-
lections revolve mainly about
the Sunday morning liver and
onions at Mother Hausmann'
and turtle soup at a place down
in Bay View. the name of which
we discipher as GuSteer's. This
may not be correct. If so 1t IS

TO THE EDITOR:
IN A recent broadcast. General
L SHUTS assured his constitu-
entS that with the United States
of America and all its vast re-
sources England could win the
war.
Mothers of America. and I'm
not asking just that small group
known as the Mothers of
America that keeps dear, old,
Walter Winchell in such a
other, but all that vast army of
American women who have
more than done their bit for
this great land, isn't the gen.
eral a trifle too free with our
possessions
Do you suppose mother looked
forward to the day when she
could put her baby daughter to
work in a munitions plant or
her precious son before a
cannon?
This country was founded by
a small group who desired
peace and the opportunity to
labor for their goods. and it be-
came a successful nation because
of these principles.
Now. at this late date, are we
TO be swept into the tide of
hatred, greed and jealousy that
has dominated the Old World
since the beginning of time?
Women of America. you have
the right TO say what shall be
done with your possessions.
Isn't it about time you stopped
bending the knee to the de-
mands of a few weakened
men and asserted yourselves for
a change?
There are enough women in
the United States, that if they
worked together in one con-
certed effort, they could bring
about the peace that is so sorely
needed.
MADELEINE LARGENT,
TO THE EDITOR:
THE die is cast-we have
L crossed the Rubicon. So let
us be practical and see things
in their proper proportion. We
have a lend-lease law, and under
the supervision of Harry L. Hop
kfffs we are making or wifi make
billions of dollars worth of war
materials for Britain.
These munitions are our prop
erty, part of our defense plan to
preserve our national existence
and our American way of life.
Therefore. it would he the height
of folly 10 permit the NaziS to
destroy them by sinking the
ships they are being transported
in, thereby multiplying that part
of our national defense system.
Moreover, we are morally
bound to deliver the goods, and
the most efficient and effective
way to do it is for the navy to
take over by establishing a
United States defense patrol to
see TO il that our goods are de-
livered over there.

their African armies by plane
from free France.
THE same lofty quarters have
L been advised of a reason for
Stains recent nervousness. He
no doubt has heard the same
reports received here that der
-fuehrer- intends ultimately 10
push through Russia TO the
UralS (yes. the whole of Euro
pean Russia.
Stain has b cen running
around trying to contrive pleas
ant gestures (such as premature
recognition of the lraq revolt
in hopes of pleasing the NaZiS.
Fer these reasons the London
versions that Hess turned
against Hitler because he hates
Russia have been swallowed
here with whole tablespoon of
salt, and, even so, are not palat-
able.
The authorities here are in
clised. however, 10 accept prac-
tically anything London wants
to say about Hess, as another
method of aiding Britain. They
had no straight worthwhile in
formation. as the White House
has publicly stated.
IF THE conflicting iargon in
the world news leaves you
slightly confused, you are still
in the official boat with the
biggest crowd of officials and
citizens. Only if everything is
clear to you, should you start
worrying.
For instance. the administra-
ton sent Frank Bane, director
of state and local cooperation
in the defense setup, to the
House public buildings commit
tee TO explain the new defense
public works bill.
Asked by a committeeman
how local communities would
benefit. Mr.. Bane replied:
"You will note that the bill
states that this fund and this
appropriation, il made, will be
administered in accordance with
rules and regulations promul-
gated by the President. The bill
also states. however, that the
fund is appropriated to provide
facilities made necessary by the
defense effort. So l would as
sumo that some one will have TO
determine what facilities are
necessary IL certainly imagine
that would he in charge of the
federal works agency"
The committee thcreupon as
sumed and imagined it also was
in a fog and rewrote the bill.
DUT the classic example of
~ confusion naturally 10 be
expected from the vast hurried
defense enterprise is furnished
by what has happened TO the
famous Sunnyvale dirigible base
in California.
Navy Secretary Knox wrote
Congress April p opposing
hill 10 establish three new
dirigible bases for the AZ new
blimpS to be constructed. Wrote
Knox:
"Thc matter has been dis
cussed with the President, Luhe
feels that further consideration
for the establishment of lighter
than air stations should be post
poned for awhile"
Sixteen DAYS later. on May g.

Congress the President has APP

bases. one near San Francisco to
