CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Thursday’s Communism In a way it was odd that there should be such spontan- eous communist activity on Thursday all over the world. ‘That was the key to its inspiration. It indicated that there was some arrangement by which some previously arranged plan could be touched off like a rocket or other’ explosive. And the world had the firecracker explosions in every large capital and even in some small ones. Revolutionary communism is almost exclusively con- | fined to Russia. It is the religion of that experiment in radicalism. It is the mainspring of all communism to- day in the world. Reds no longer strive to make progress for their propaganda by scattered group activities. Com- munism teams its way forward. It is militant likewi It wants to conquer the world and in every hobo camp nest it has its frowsy and potential ficld marshals.

The idea is a good one. It means that worthiest needs will be attended to. Patchwork will be reduced to the simplest limits. Scatered improvements in roadwork get nowhere, whether it be under county, township or municipal administration. Money is frittered away when public improvements are made piecemeal, without regard to general efficiency. In road building, no permanent stretches are accom- | plished by the system of improving in spots. | As far as the county commissioners are concerned, the tendency is to give way under pressure from local inter- | ests. In that way communities have been getting away with murder of road improvement for some years now. | Feeder lines into the main arteries have not been de- veloped by the hit-and-miss policy. This is to be changed. Farmers do not always pull | together with that unity which is for their own good. Under the plan adopted by the county meeting Thursday, ; cooperation among the townships is to replace the old order of selfishness. The townships are to unite on a ! program to be made up after surveys of road needs and jit will be attempted to coordinate these needs, to ap- | prove the neediest and to make the improvements in ac- | cord with a program by which they will be stretched to | the utmost limit of general utility. That is, where adjoining townships have improvements j to make, an effort is to be made to link up these so \that the permanent work will be continuous. In this way feeder roads can be developed into feeder routes to the arterial highways. This is the system which will give North Dakota roads/ jot only affording accommodations for the tourist but for the farmers, as well. Rural folks may be reluctant to work together as they; themselves admitted at the meeting here Thursday, but the new plan ought to work out at least 75 per cent ef- ficiently. If it does that, Burleigh county will have ac- complished the biggest step for serviceable highways since Reign of Terror. | Moscow does not even deign to deny the accusation | the federal government stepped in and extended its fi- | nancial aid to the building of highways.

By the ‘That the American disorderliness of Thursday was staged by communists of Russia is on record in the boasts ; of Pravda, the soviet organ. From Riga in Latvia comes | confirmation of the worst suspicions. A recent issue of the paper expressed the hope that the American reds would on this international date for disturbance give a good account of themselves, in demonstrations and riots. Why such fiery desire for violence in America? One can ferret out the reason by a study of the columns of Pravda. Russia has hypnotized itself into the belief that America is in desperate straits and ripe for joining in the world revolution which has been for 12 years the dream of the soviets to spread around the surface of the world. | Moscow papers, it is learned, are pessimistic concern- ing the economic future of America. The communist economists report that capitalism is facing a crisis in | the United States. The “bloated American: bourgeois,” | according to the Pravda, was to be alarmed and amazcd | at the strength of the revolutionary movement in America which was to be demonstrated Thursday. Even Commissar Stalin, who has never been outside of Russia in his life, has written a long article estimating | that 6,000,000 unemployed in America means 6,000,000 families suffering from starvation and cold, only waiting for capable leaders before joining in class warfare. | Stalin believes that the alleged economic crisis in America has affected the civilized world, and that the world of capitalism is tottering to its downfall. Stalin also says the countries of South America are ripe for the experienced leadership of the communist in- ternationale, which is planning colonial uprisings and civil wars which will assist in developing the final war between the classes. | Russian ideas as to conditions abroad are fogged by | the fact that the leaders are not well-informed men. | They fog themselves a great deal more by their censor- | ship. In their fanatic ignorance they see only a worid delirious for the application of their debased political system and philosophy and from that it is a short step to the zealotry which found expression in Thursday's agitation in the world’s capitals. In addition, they are inspired to play on the fanaticism of their proletariat. ‘They want all Russia to move in step with their world revolution. . According to Michael Poltavetz, writing in the Kras- naija Svesda, the organ of the Red army, the communist internationale stands for a new and gigantic class war and Moscow agents already are preparing the fields of battle for conflict and are recruiting forces. Poltavetz informs the Red army that foreign powers, in trying to avoid interior revolutions, are planning to make a united attack against Russia. However, he says, the Red army will be assisted in the defense of Russia by hosts of foreign Reds, who will sabotage the war preparations abroad, fighting within and behind the ranks of the at- tacking armies. Thus he predicts an easy victory for the communists. Russia cannot effectively communicate its communist infection to this country, but it probably can go far enough to make a lot of trouble, especially when unem- ployment is as serious as it now is in this land. Besides Russia supposes it can count on support in the senate of the United State. Senator Borah is more or less a friend and defender of the soviets and Senator Wheeler, of Montana, is another tainted member of the upper chamber of congress. Brookhart, of Iowa, is another who is sympathetic, and, conceivably, Americans might in weak moments be misled by the misplaced faith these men have in the Moscow experiment, to be blandished into a mischievous attitude toward their own welfare. America will be truest to itself by standing firm for the constitutional system formulated by the fathers of the republic. Russia no more so than France more than #@ century ago has been able to show the world the benef- isences of sansculottism. That was what made all the noise Thursday and kept the police busy all around the ‘world, herding radical fanatics into harmlessness.

To judge | an administration by its first twelve-month is not a fair test. But even in such a test the Hoover administra- tion stands out a success. A farm relief act has been spread upon the statutes which promises real aid to agriculture. The president took the lead in this matter, although congress ‘shaped the measure and put it through. A revision of the tariff, also a measure of relief for the farmer, is in the making. If it has been unduly delayed in the senate, that is not the fault of President Hoover. The country understands the situa- tion. A coalition of insurgent Republicans and Demo- crats took charge of the measure early in its considera- tion in the senate. This coalition has in some respects bettered the bill. The charge that must be laid against the opponents of the administration in the senate is that they have through five months of debate delayed final action on the bill while the country has waited for this legislation. Chairman Smoot of the finance com- mittee has computed the hours used in the senate de- bate by regular Republicans, insurgent Republicans and Democrats. The regular Republicans used 30 per cent of the total time and the coalitionists 70 per cent. With the tariff bill expected to pass the senate within the next ten days, Senator Wagner of New York, Demo- crat, rises in his place and denounces Mr. Hoover because he has not seen to it that the senate acted more quickly on the measure. Mr. Hoover, the New York senator as- serts, should have welded his party together in support of the bill. Here is an unkind cut, indeed, for the Bro- gressive Republicans who have banded so loyally with the Democrats in their efforts, not only to amend the tariff bill, but to embarrass and antagonize the adminis- tration at every possible turn. But Senator Wagner and other critics of the presi- dent in the upper house go further and charge the presi- dent with responsibility for unemployment in the coun- try. It is even charged that the “red” riots in New York and elsewhere are a plot of the supporters of the ad- ministration to turn public attention from the unem- ployment situation. The lengths to which even senators of the United States will go in their efforts to belittle political opponents apparently have no limits. Congress, and particularly the senate, has been the baiter of presidents since the government began. It is a forum of political attack. Every president must expect it, Roosevelt met it constantly, and so did Wilson and Coolidge. Administration senators during the present session have held their tongues for the sole purpose of expediting the tariff bill, when the administration been under attack. Once that bill is out of the way political debates in the senate are not likely to be one-sided. Discussion of the first Hoover year in the white must include mention of the work which the president world peace. which brought about the London naval conference, meeting.

I notice you advise this occasionally for lunch in your menus, Does the combination Prove beneficial in any special way?” Answer: Milk contains lactic acid which when taken tends to destroy certain putrefactive bacteria in the intestines. The lactic acid can do this work better in the presence of something sweet, and dates, figs or raisins are recommended in place ot other sugar.

It seems that the fundamental causes are the'same, and that most of the trouble in both cases comes from an extreme amount as the cause is essentially the same. the same treatment will get rid of either or both of these disorders.
