Reds Start Early Sniping at ChiIe's Election

The Reds are on the warpath in
Chile again. They are out to defeat
the present Government and other
anti-CommuniSt forces in the presi-
DENTAL elections in that South Amer
lean Republic in September of next
year.
The campaign already is well under
way. If it succeeds. it will undo the
fine record CT the past five years, in
which Chile has waged one of the
hemisphere's most effective internal
struggles against communism. And
such Red victory would be serious
blow to the West, for Chile is one of
the worlds largest producers of vital
defense metals and minerals.
In the past IL months. Chile has
experienced a continual wave of
Gripping strikes. Practically every
enterprise-from the vast United
States-operated copper mines to the
local bakeries in almost every village
has been tied up at one time or an
other. In July and early August, there
was strike of port and customhouse
workers at Valparaiso, the chief sea-
of the capital city of Santiago, the
metal workers unions, several unions
OF railroad workers, the coal miners
even employees of some of the de-
partmentS of the government itself
have all stopped work. Last week,
the school teachers of the nation and
the Federation of University students
announced their intention to strike.
Now the union leaders at Chuquica-
mata. the largest of all the copper
mines. again are threatening to call
members out of the pits.
In most cases. the government and
the press have charged that these
walkouts have been the result of
Communist agitation. Chilean busi-
ness men agree that all Of this dis
turbance and confusion is designed to
create chaos in advance of the
presidential elections,
Communist Porty Outlowed
The former militant Communist
Party, which turned out to have been
the balance of power in the elections
of 1916, has been outlawed and there
fore cannot put up an avowed candi-
date of its own. But its sympathizers
and fellow travellers are at work
among the numerous splinter parties,
which may easily prove to be
the deciding factors in the present
contest.
The most significant development
so far is the support the extreme
leftist groups are giving to the can
didacy of q Gen. Carlos Ibanez,
iron-fisted dictator who was over
thrown by peoples revolution in
1881. In exile until constitutional
government and democratic pro-
cekures were thoroughly re-estab-

the Reds. in denouncing and de-
manding the repeal of "the law for
the defense of democracy" This
is the measure that finally led to
the outlawing of the Communist
Party and gave the government of
President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla
power to jail and prosecute known
Communist agents and agitators.
Down With the Yonkees'
Ibanez also has embraced the we'll
known Communist line of attacking
foreign imperialism" which. of
course, means Yankee imperialism"
The two largest industries in Chile,
copper and nitrate. are operated
principally by United States interests
and have been the principal targets
of most of the recent strikes. In
mid-July. the former dictator de-
clared that he favored a foreign
policy whereby Chile would not con-
tinue to be forced into what he
described as "those degrading abne-
cations and subjugations."
All the anti-imperialist, extreme
leftist and anti-G Government organ
izations in the country had field
day recently when they organized
huge demonstration in honor of
DR.. Juan Jose Arevalo. former leftist
President of Guatemala, who has
been touring the Latin American
capitals. During Arevalo's admins
tration the Communists gained con-
troll of the labor unions and prac-
tically all the governmental agen-
cies in the little Central American
country-and finally both houses of
Congress. Ibanez himself did not
show up at the Arevalo gathering in
Santiago, but the same individual
leaders who have organized the re-
cent meetings where he has been
a speaker were among its sponsors.
Arevalo was toasted and praised
as the man who had dared stand up
so successfully against foreign in
f1uence" in his country, and thus
had become the great symbol of
anti : imperialism throughout the
Americas" All the speakers praised
the educational. political and social
program carried out by the "Guate-
malan statesman" They referred
particularly to the, "tenacity with
which he resisted United States
meddling in Guatemala affairs"
The serious aspect of all this, inso-
far as the United States is con-
cerned, is the fact that Chilean prod
uctS like copper, nitrate, mercury and
tungsten are almost indispensable to
our effort to arm ourselves and the
rest Of the free world against pos
sible Russian aggression. Political
chaos in this sister republic could
fatally cripple large portion Of

honor of the occasion, George Wash
irgton Park Custis (adopted son Of
the first President) wrote an operetta
entitled The Rail Road" in which
one of the songs began:
"Of each wonderful plan
Fer inuented By man,
That tOhich nearest perfection
approaches
Is road made OF iron
Which horses ne'er tire on,
And traueled by steam, in steam
coaches"

4. An increase in schooling.
5. More old people and more chill
dren, fewer middle-aged.
8. More marriages, probably more
divorces.
This is based almost entirely on the
1850 census. Trends could be upset
by great historical events such as war
or serious depression. \
The decade 1940-1950 brought some
Of the greatest changes ever to occur
in the United States population. Many
experts said most Of these changes
were only temporary, caused by war,
but now they say they were so pro-
found they could alter the whole
course Of history.
For instance, there were so many
marriages during and right after
World Wal II, and so many babies
were born, that nearly every one ex-
pected the 1947 birth record-an all
time high-to stand for long time.
In that year about 3.9 million Ameri-
can babies were born.
But in the first five months of
this year. 100000 births were
registered. Births are increasing so
rapidly that authorities say an
other new record may be set.
The census showed that between
1910 and 1850 more than 80 million
babies were born. In 1850 the
census counted 74.6 million married
Americans. 81 per cent of every one
over IA years Of age. This was the

The first Cleveland Inauguration
of March 4, 1885, is recalled with
a great deal of pleasure The
Democrats had not been in Office
since the Civil War, and they did not
intend to let the occasion pass by
without whooping it up.

perch on one of the fashioned

top which helped to give the lads
a toe-hold when they wanted to
climb the post to light their cigarettes
on windy nights or when matches
were scarce. 1t was the greatest in
augural parade ever saw.
In the files of The Star this state
ment appeared a day or two after
the Inauguration:
1T was the most brilliant, enjoy
able and generally successful occasion
of the kind in the history of the
Government"
Gen. Fitzhueh Lee
There are certain things which i'm
press themselves upon the human
mind, especially the youthful mind,
that even time will not erase, and
one of the memorable features. of
Cleveland'S first Inauguration was the
wonderful appearance of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee as he led the third division
of the parade from the Capitol to
Seventeenth street. He was mounted
upon a coal-black charger, and the
two together produced an impressive
sight. He was handsome and noble
looking man on horseback He was
wearing heavy black beard, which
he discarded later before he went to
Cuba with the American Army, and
pictures of him taken after the Cleve-
land Inauguration usually show him
wearing just mustache.
Another feature of this parade of
lasting memory was the great recep-
ton accorded Vice President Thomas
A. Hendricks. Where Cleveland was
only slightly known outside of the
State of New York, Hendricks was
known far and wide. He was not a
young man, then being about 66
years old, long in the public eye, and
popular, and when his carriage came
up the Avenue the applause was
tumultuouS. The Grand Old Man of
the Democratic Party was kept con-
tinually bowing to the unprecedented
crowds which lined both sides of
the Avenue.
Gov. Beaver of Pennsylvania was
another of those in the parade who
came in for large amount of ap-
plauSe. He was a one armed Civil
War veteran, and led the Penn
sylvania Militia in the march.
Beginning the Ceremonies
President Cleveland was driven
from the Arlington Hotel to the
White House on the morning of
March for the commencing of the
days program. The building now
occupied by the Veterans Admins
tration. built during World War I,
occupies the site Of the historic Ar

than did the retiring President. Dur
ing the ceremonies at the east front
OF the Capitol Gen. Arthur remarked
that 1t was the largest crowd he had
ever seen. Chief Justice Morrison r.
Waite, who was nearby, more def
nitely placed the number by saying:
There must be at least a hundred
and fifty thousand" And Senator
Hawley said: There are undoubtedly
two hundred thousand. I never saw
