nuRING the exciting weeks
- that followed Betty had little
time for serious thoughts. The
vacation season was in full swing
and populace doomed to long,
cruel winters had come out to
play hard and fast while the sun
shone.
Hardly a day passed that she
did not go to Alden Beach, which
was the finest on the Bay, just as
George Newton had said. Some
times she would go with Ger
trude, but more often she would
go with Ellen Raymond, the
mayors daughter, who was about
her own age. Gertrude had her
own gang" and Betty and Ellen
had become great friends.
Now and then she and Ellen
would make pilgrimages to his
torical spots nearby. They never
ceased 10 IdSClIldbG DCtbys c.ia
Ellen, fired with sectional pride,
never tired of taking her along.
They visited the. little brown
cottage, in its setting of stately
hoIlyhocks, where John and Pris-
ella Alden had. lived and loved.
One day they drove to Dux-
bury and took sthe winding road
that led to the. Miles, Standish
monument. They climbed all the
way to the top of the shaft and
looked out on the Bay. There
were sailhoats afioat and it was a
breathtaking sight. !.
On another occasion Betty and
Ellen went to the old Friends
Meeting House near Hanover and
strolled through the little ,church-
yard, reading the quaint epitaphs
on the old gray-green slabs. Time
and the New England winters
had almost obscured them.

COMMUNIST TACTICS I'M W $. COURT.


the United States, but according to- our
understanding, it is crime to teach and
advocate the overthrow of the govern
ment of the United States by force.
The present trial of the leaders of the
Communist Party, now going on in New
York City, follows an indictment accusing
the party leaders of advocating the over
throw of the Government by force If the
charge can be proved by the evidence, the
leaders of the Party will be guilty of
violating statute of the United States
Government.
II. There may be some question in the
minds of thoughtful Americans about the
ACCESSIBILITY of the prosecution now going
on and some others may question the wis
dom of the law enacted by the Congress of
the United States. These questions may
be debated but there can be no dispute as
to the punishment of those who violate the
laws of the land.
In connection with the trial in New
York, the behavior of the defendants
friends and attorneys seems, to indicate
their intention of attempting to make a
farce of the judicial proceedings or to set
the stage for an attempt to create the i'm
preston that the Communist leaders are
being unduly prosecuted Moreover, it is
apparent that the tactics being attempted
are designed to persuade unthinking par
tisans to believe that the Judge and the
entire processes of the court are influenced
by prejudice and desire to prosecute.
From a reading of press accounts of
the trial, we are inclined to the belief that
Judge Harold r. Medina has been patient
in his consideration of the motions made
by the defendants attorneys and of the
incidents in court that tend to support the
suspicion that the Communists are seeking
to organize demonstration. Motions to
quash the indictments on the ground that
the Grand Jury was illegal and to have the
jurist declare himself disqualified on ac-
count of prejudice seemed to be addressed
more to Communist Party followers than
to the court itself.
While discussing the issue, it may be
we'll to admit that some non-Communst
commentators are doubtful of the wisdom
of trying the leaders of an American
| Party EN- masse. Certainly, as these OBJ
servers point out, if the present leadership
of the Communist Party is guilty as
| charged, any new leadership of the Party
will be similarly guilty. This guilt, if es-
| tablished and punished, will practically
outlaw the Communist Party or drive it
underground.
Against the weight of this observation
is the fact that the Communist leaders are
accused of violating a statute, designed to
| protect the Government against a con-
| spiracy to overthrow it by force. If the
statute deserved passage and if law of
| the country, it should be enforced or re-
pealed. After all, the leaders are accused
of violating the law. The trial is being
conducted fairly, under adequate safe
guards to protect the innocent. The YER
| dict, when rendered, should settle the
question of guilt and, if convicted, the de-
| PENDANTS should be punished.
