1t seems to me there are GER
tain truths that could we'll be ex-
amined at this juncture in hemis-
pheric affairs.
Democracy helps those who
struggle against any autocracy of
the right. The people of the United
States always gave hand to the
Russian people when their strug-
gle was against the czars. We
helped Cuba against the oppres-
sion of the Spanish monarchy. We
helped the people of Mexico win
freedom from the Diaz dictator
ship. We told European monarchs
to keep hands off this whole hemis-
phere. We sided with Armenians
against Turks. We have given the
Filipinos their liberty, freeing
them in turn from Spain and the
japanese.
We have labored much in behalf
of freedom from the oppression Of
the right. Many of our people con-
tributed to help the Irish win from
Britain. Many others fought in
Spain against Franco.
The record is fairly consistent
and almost constant.
4
We have not carried on any such
consistant and active policy where
freedom is threatened from the
left. Surely, we generally oppose
communism, but more by words
than by deeds.
Now, on the other hand, COM
munism battles actively against
everything that stands to the right
of com mum i S m, .including, of
course, democracy as we know it.
If there were something to the
left of communism, then that
movement would fight everything
to its right, including communism.
Always the revolutionary is mill
tant. Democracy has been revolu-
tionary and it should be so today-
1t should be revolutionary in the
sense of revolving against every
thing that threatens to destroy hui
man freedom.
Human affairs do not stand still.
There is constant movement. Too
much of today's movement in hu-
man affairs is against freedom and
that is too true in this hemisphere.
Now put it this way: Wherever
human freedom is threatened,
there labor must be interested and
must give battle. When we accept
that idea, literally, then the course
is as clear as daylight.

An American Federation OF
Labor delegation has visited Ar.
gentina to see what's what anC
who's who. The sending of that
delegation was a fine move.
1t would be a good move also tc
send an able delegation to Brazil
to the Central American countries
and, for that matter, to all of the
other Latin American nations
Mexico should top the list.
In the Argentina the specter is
fascism. But throughout Latin
America communism is digging in
and only the blind fail to see it as
a major menace.
Cuba is a hot bed of communist
effort. In half dozen countries
the Soviet embassies are stated
by enormous numbers, far in ex-
cess of the normal needs of an en-
bassy.
The appeal of communism to
poems and campesinos is simple,
direct and forceful. 1t isn't diff
cult to frame compelling promise
to those who have nothing, not
even hope.
The original slogan of the Mexi-
can revolution was "Land and
Liberty. Well, whether it is star
vation for land, or whether it is
oppression in alien-owned mills,
makes little difference to the man
whose only raiment is cotton shirt
and pants and who never has own
ed a real pair of shoes.
What perhaps we fail to under
stand is that 'Land and Liberty"
can be just as appealing when
offered on a platform of dem
ocratic action (as in Mexico), as
it is when offered on a communist
platform which always presents
the appeal to the hungry while con-
cealing the brutality of dictator
ship.
Between the fascism of Argen-
tina and the communism of the
reds elsewhere there is precious
little to choose. A rising tide of
either in this hemisphere is dan
gerous to the future of our own
country and 'to the peace of the
hemisphere.
There can be, in the future, en-
ormous wars kindled in this hemis-
phere.
1t is the job of dynamic DEM
ocracy to stop them before they
start!

IMPRESSIVE RAILROAD GROWTH

Indeed, canals much public favor that

celebration of July A. 1928 held in Baltimore to mark the
beginning of construction of the Rail Road President
John Quincy Adams himself declined the invitation to attend
and instead participated in similar event staged by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal which is only memory
In granting the B. O. charter the Maryland Legisla
tue gave the directors of the railroad authority to issue
$000000 worth of stock this being the estimated cost of
building the railroad from Baltimore to the Ohio River BY

Whether he did or did not say it, it has lot of truth

people who are busy introducing bills to hamstrng organized

pour forth copious words telling how he favos collective

Now in plain English how retain collective bar

1t was news to make the heart
sick, not with envys Of Abhott's and
Costello's success, but because the
weepers had not thought of it them
selves. There they were on park
benches, reading second hand news
papers, burlesque was dead, and
they themselves were tattered, cold,
hungry and alone. Was this because
they were lesser artists in the pratt
fall and the hoary joke, the assets
Abbott and Costello have just
proved to be more valuable than
banks, factories, mines, merchan-
disc, forests and oil wells?
No. Many of the mourners could
take mere artistic flop on the seat
of his baggy trousers. And tell a
louder, longer and older joke than
Abbott and Costello ever heard.
The difference was merely a
thought-and $469,o0 Abbott and
Costello had had the one some
years ago, and now they had the
other.
*r*
The dilapidatedlf.ones may have
found nSopiate for their misery in
the thought that If. they are not
rich; they are loyalM That is some
thing. Burlesque was never a
painted, hennaed hoyden to them.
She has always been Camille.
Through the years yof her dying,
they had no choice but to remain
faithful. Burlesque was their girl
in the days of their youth, laugh
ing, carefree playmate. She never
could be unlovely in the eyes and
hearts of those who knew her in
those days. If they WINGED at the
sound of death in her throat. it was
In pain that echoed her pain.
They never once thought to run
away to escape the rattle Of doom,
Camille's and their own.
Maybe abbott and Costello were
Just weak, or too young to know
that true love is first of all a
deep faith. Perhaps they remained
around too brief aStine, long enough
only to learn what Burlesque had
to teach them of her gestures and
her jokes, and not only enough to
learn her loyalty. ~
At any rate, they took up with
that new girl, Cinema. Well, she is
a glamorous one. Young and very
rich, too, with every gift designed
to turn the heads of-well, almost
any one.
There was this about Abbott and
Costello turning to the new girl:
They did not change the methods
of the courtship. They stuck to the
prattfall and the same line of jokes
In their new wooing. This, in itself,
was a kind of loyalty not as COM
mendable as sitting beside Camille's
deathbed, perhaps, but a sort Of
stern refusal to forsake ones
origins.
To give them their due, Abbott
and Costello did not even change
their clothes when they went
a-wooing across the country from
Minsky's. Lou wore the same pork
pie hat, The same baggy trousers
and even the same maniacal ex-l
pressions in his fat, flexible face
He battled life, most in the. form OF
Abbott, in the same frenetically,
high-pitched voice..
All the two of them ever changed
was their girl and poverty and the
change netted them 1859 900.
Who Isl to say that the nlournersa
on the park benches should not have
thought OF that themselves? 81
