unite against him and his NaZl Party.
In Spain, disunion on the left encour-
aged the revolt against the Republican
government in July, 1886. In France,
multi-party rivalries weakened the
Third Republic after World War I, but
in the Fourth Republic the present
truce between the Socialists and the
Communists, who together polled less
than majority of the popular vote
in the elections of last November 10,
is recognized as an impermanent affair
that keeps the Fourth Republic weak
internally and externally.
Karl Marx was scholar and philos-
opher without first-hand knowledge OF
the day-by-day activities by which the
working class earned its living; he
evolved program for the workers
which is the Communist bible. He
taught that the dictatorship which
would accompany the workers rise to
power would be temporary, unnecessary
after the bourgeoisie had been Iqui-
dated, Yet in Communist Russia, where
the bourgeoisie has long since been put
out of its misery, the dictatorship seems
to outward eyes as stringent and mercl-
less as when initiated 20 years ago.
-
What the proletariat would have TO
fight, Marx decreed, In order to retain
and spread its power, was suppression
of the truth. Yet censorship IN the
Soviet Union Is like that Of Na1 Ger
many and Fascist italy. In the elections
in Poland on the coming Sunday, the
prc-Soyiet regime denies freedom OF the
press and Of speech to the opposition,
and vouchsafes the proletariat no fair
chance to vote it's sentiments.
Yet in the United States, ultimate
stronghold Of capitalism. Communist
papers and magazines circulate freely,
and in national elections Communist
spokesmen are allowed to speak on the
air. In fact, the United States Govern
ment Is preparing to broadcast from
Munich to the Russian people true news
which otherwise they might not receive.

District Bond Sales

The citizens of the District can
pride themselves on their 1946 in
vestment in United States Savings
Bonds-a total of $104. 100000. with
sales of series E bonds amounting
to $4,000, 900.
This is good showing. Accord
ing to Chairman Waller of the
Treasury's District Savings Bonds
Division, it is nearly As per cent
above the most optimistic forecasts,
and it is only 2s per cent under the
average annual sales during the
1942-45 war period. More than that,
our series E purchases were $14,0O0,-
900 over the combined redemptions
of series A. B. C. D and E bonds-a
record saiG to have been bettered by
only one State.
But what has been done here in
relation to other places is not i'm
portant in itself. What is important
is that the people of the District
have shown good economic judg-
ment. They have invested wisely.
If they hold on to the bonds they
have and buy as MANY more as they
can, they will be doing personally
profitable thing serving their own
individual security. In larger
sense, they will be enriching their
community as well.
