TO THE EDITOR:
YOUR articles about Soviet
Russia anti-religious propa-
ganda are very enlightening
and should convince any sensible
person that no true American
should be a Communist.
For, speaking most literally,
religion is not the opinion of
the people but an opinion and
practice guaranteed by our Con-
stitution.
Considering all these facts I
nevertheless am not opposed to
aid TO Russia.
Religion in Russia at its best
was state-controlled institu-
ton and that's bad.
Our present diplomatic rela-
tons with Britain as well as
other nations are not entirely
altruistic but are motivated by
economic reasons.
AS an American I am not in
terested merely in bigger and
better Britain. subjugateds Ger
many or a reborn and larger
Poland.
Without a united people i see
all this struggle in vain. Brit
ain would still be weak, Germany
encircled and embittered and
countries like Pola and and
Czecho-Slovakia, from sheer
necessity. mere buffer states.
Just a prelude to more highly
civilized savage war.
There must be bigger and
better Europe economically and

author. Of books exposing
Hitler and nazism. has arrived
in this country and declares his
intention of becoming an Amer

IN an interview on his arrival
he told reporters:
I'm my opinion. the Russian
revolution was much more In
line with the European tradition
than those Of national socialism
and fascism. Bolsbeyism has the
power TO develop i'm one or the
other direction. The Bolsheviks

Which European tradition IS
the Russian revolution IN line
with? The tradition of absolute
tyranny? And what is the other
state that bolsheviSm aims at?
Bolshevism cannot be conceived
except as a brutal and oppres-
Slve tyranny.

threat Of putting the whole
structure under steel helmet.
Hitler is only the twentieth
century version, in the most vul-
gar form yet, of the spirit that
all Europe fears.
But Europe also fears Britain.
For, if Germany is the enemy
of Europe's diversity, Britain
has been the enemy of its unity.
Britain. inSular and never
quite European and the seat,
furthermore, of a worldwide
association of non European
states, has for her own protec-
ton tried to keen, a balance of
power in Europe, allying herself
now with these continental
states and now with those, but
consistently following a policy
of divide and rule.
TO-DAY Britain is in the mood
L to depart from that policy
and prove herself in the truest
sense the protector and not the
divider of Europe. But Britain
cannot with safety depart from
the policy of European alliances
unless the United States is pre-
pared TO depart forever from its
isolation.
Britain need have no fear OF
a united Europe if the United
States is prepared to guarantee,
together with the united CONT
nent of Europe, the security OF
Britain.
If the banner of European
unity is raised, of unity with
diversity. it will be the strong
est possible political weapon
against Hitler.
No more British alliances on
the continent.
No continental alliance against
Britain.
And. on this basis. the closest
possible collaboration for mutual
defense. between continental
federation, the British Empire
and Commonwealth. and the
United States with the British
Isles as the bridge.
OF course, federation. Not
"the United States of Europe
Europe does not consist OF
states but of nations-except
for Switzerland, where the prin-
ciple of nationality is kept in
tact.
Perhaps not one federation;
rather probably series of in
terlocking declarations Eastern,
Germanic. Danubian. Latin, At
lantic. Exact equality for Ger
many in such continental
reconstruction.
Freedom for Europe from
British continental alliances, and
the most far-reaching collabora-
ton with the New World, eco
nomically and for defense.
This. of course, would mean
more than unity with diversity
for Europe; it would mean unity
with diversity for the whole OF
western civilization. old and new.
.ER such a program we would
L find allies among all Germans
who are Europeans.
To such program All Eu-
rope would repair. For it would
cut clean across Hitler'ss political
strategy by removing his great
est asset: the deep resistance to
British on the continent.
No ambiguous eight points
that completely muff the desire
Of Europe TO be one will ever

this war can he won in the realm
of ideas. And, unless il can be
won in that realm, IL will degen-
crate into aimless destruction.

through experience over the

This seems 10 me to justify
my adding my two cents worth
on the side in opposition to the
great bulk of editorial and other
conclusions which condemn the
miners for the most arbitrary
and unpatriotic possible course
of action for which no excuse is
round.
Perhaps the worst exploited
class of labor in the United
States over the past 60 years
was in the mines. The struggle

bloodiest in our industrial his

effect, nearly all of the tens of
thousands of mines in the
United States were not merely
completely unionized as result

they were unionized on a closed
shop basis.

Hope for Europe Lies
In a Federation Of States
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

IN THE last column I said
4 that il was our duty to discern
the track of history and get on
that track 10 win the war, end
the war and get a great peace.
The clue to the European stu
alton lies in this-that the genius
of every European nation is
European.
1t is not Germ n or
French" except by coloration.
All great Frenchmen have
been great Europeans. So have
all great Germans.
That is why Hitler is not a
great German. and why it is a
sacrilege to mention him in the
same breath with Napoleon, who
was a great European until
blinded by his own ambitions.
Beethoven--a great European
recognized him as such and
tore up the Eroica dedication
when an idol demeaned himself
to wear the crown of domina-
ton. thus betraying Europe and
himself.
WHAT has this TO do with the
w war. you ask, and with the
peace? Briefly, everything.
For we can discern one tend
ency IN reveals the mind,
yearnings and direction of Eu-
rope: the desire of Europe to.
unite; to be Europe.
Yet, the urge 10 unity in
Europe is different urge from
the one toward unity in any
single nation. For as deep as
the urge to unity is the con-
seriousness of nationality.
Americans tend to think far
too simply of Europe, and that
is one reason why many OF them
see in Hitler some one who
anyhow will get all those quar-
reling nations together"
But Europe-the strength OF
Europe, the immense creative
ness of that tiny peninsula of
Asia. arises out of the very ten
Sions of that highly variegated
society.
Europe seeks unity with di-
versity. The blotting out of a
single national strain depletes
by that much the color and
strength Of the remarkable and
incompatible structure that is
Europe.
The Europe that seeks unity
with diversity, yet cheriShes
nationality has had two enemies.
Those enemies are modern Ger
many and Great Britain.
EUROPE has feared modern
- Germany because it fears
the will TO dominate rather than
10 lead.
Specifically, il has feared in
Germany the Prussian military
spirit which is without any in
tegration in European thought
and which is native TO the east
ern plains where Europe begins

Old Bowery
Has Rival in
Los Angeles
Main Street is Colo r
DepIored by Some
BY DAMON RUNYON

NEW YORK'S Bowery OF years
ago has a spittin' image in
Los Angeles Main street, which
we think, is the most weirdly
colorful thoroughfare in the
United States. However we are
told that some Los Angelenos do
not care for this color. and. in
fact, are inclined to deplore it
as civic pigment.
They occasionally even take
steps tending toward erasure.
so maybe our own eye for the
artistic is slightly out of plumb.
Personally, we like our color on
the blatant side.
Main street was once the
chief artery of Los Angeles.
Many fine old business firms are
still located there, also some
good hotels. II is within a few
steps of the busiest centers of
the city Indeed, il seems to re-
main an active mart of COM
meree in certain fields and an
important road of ,passa
through the city, especially by
day.
Otherwise. the aspect of life
there is somewhat tawdry. as
We must admit, but rather ex-
citing te-a-easu observer
whose taste is no better than
our own.
For some blocks il is high
way of gin mills, hook shops.
cheap movies restaurants sec
ondhand stores, flop joints and
billiard rooms, most of the latter
trifle dingy and apparently pa
tronized largely by Filipinos.
Our little brown brothers are

cannot run eight or ten balls
