LABOR AND THE NEW
FRENCH CONSTITUTION

When one of the worlds great
nations adopts a constitution de-
claring that every man may join
the union of his choice" something
new and significant has happened.
That phrase is in the constitution
approved by a vote of the French
people. 1t contains many other prin-
ciples which had no place in con-
situations of the past.
True, some of these statements
are qualified by words which may
weaken them. Only time can tell
exactly what they mean in prac-
tice, but no n ear deny the i'm
portance of provisions like these.
Everyone has the right to en-
ployment. No one may suffer in his
work by reason of his origins,
opinions or beliefs.
Every man may defend his
rights and interests by trade union
action, and may join the union of
his choice.
THE right to strike is exercised
within the framework of the laws
that govern it. Before we could
pass on that one we would wish to
see the "laWS.")
Every worker, through his dele
gates, participates in collective
bargaining on working conditions,
as we'll as in the management of
the business"
Every human being who, by
reason of his age, physical cd men
tai condition or economic situation,
finds himself incapable of work,
has the right to obtain from the
community the means of decent
living."-Labor.

La SALE Street FANTASY

We got to musing over Secretary Byrnes' announcement that
American loans will be reserved for nations which show the proper
degree of respect and admiration for this country. The picture came to
us of a banker, fixing his eye on the businessman across his desk. The
banker, after inquiring into his clients credit standing and business
ability, drummed lightly on the desk, shot his customer a piercing
glance, and asked:
Didn't I see you applauding that speech in which bankers were
critcized?"
mo-" cried the client, II never did no such thng!'
"Ah. Seems to me you once uttered some derOgatorv remarks about
this bank"
THAT was my compettor!' said the client, hopping his brow.
"You-ah-have a friendly feeling toward this institution"
81 love it mady!'
mo secret suspicion that you are a victim of economic ensave-
ment?"
Never
And the client got the loan-The Chicago Sun.

ASSASSlNS Of MATTEOTTI
FACE TRIAL

Twenty-Five years ago Giacomo
Matteotti was cut to pieces by
''hatchet men" employed by Mus
solini. Now some of the small fry"
involved in that shocking tragedy
must face an Italian court. Musso-
lini is dead. King Victor Emanuel,
who complacently ignored the
crime, is enjoying a luxurious exist
ence. He has royal blood in his
veins and, therefore, must not be
touched.
Matteotti was a gallant gentle
a He saw that Mussolini was
setting up a dictatorship, and he
had the courage to publicly de-
nounce II Duce. For that he died.
This newspaper printed the story
at the time. Unfortunately, most of
the British and American press
ignored the incident" AS they saw
it, MuSsolini was reforming" Italy
trains were running on time and
beggars 10 longer wandered around
the streets annoying tourists. If
they starved, they starved in priv
ate. That was UGH better than
starving in public.
Matteotti deserves the tallest
monument in Rome. Let us hope
the new Italy will develop suf-
ficient gratitude to erect tabor.
