There were a good many tongues in a good many cheeks in the chancelleries of Europe as those replies were framed. | What would Memel have answered to a similar Inquiry two months ago? What would have been Czechoslovakia’s answer last August? If Austria had received such a misile in January, 1938, what would she have said?

We \ave Stalinists in the United States who protest when | heir meetings are broken up or their periodical »anned, though they frankly desire a state of affairs | n which only the meetings they approve of and only the periodicals they authorize could be circulated. We ave Nazis, or Nazi sympathizers, and their attitudes wnd yearnings are substantially the same. The di inction between the two groups is narrowing. Both | iwre antagonistic to the ideals of American democracy The Civil Liberties Union has had to consider this juestion because some of its friends who were glad when it took up the causes of miscellaneous left- labor organizers, Negroes deprived of proper jury trial,' persons who wish to make speeches in Jer- ey City, and so on, have turned critieal since it began to defend the rights of Nazis. The Union’s statement this week deals with some misunderstood points. It @ il Liberty “We certainly cannot abandon the principles of he Bill of Rights, which requires defense of every- zhts without distinction, just because of th that thus anti-democratic force will tri- Such a fear implies distrust of democracy final sentence in this quotation is the signifi- sant one. Democracy is not possible unless the com- man can make a working distinction betweer true and what is false, between w is » community in which he lives and wk some The non z00d bad be decide for him and still He must, in democracy, be able Nazis, the Fascists and the Communist up his own mind about them. If the com- Government cannot a listen to the and make majority that any one of these parties was right, 1t wrul, be the last decision of that kind that he would be allowed to make. Possibly that is why he can be trusted not to make that decision. But it is not up to any particular person or set of persons to say that the common man shall or shall not be trusted. This is his country and his government. In the la he is probably aware that this will remain his country 21d his government only so long as the principles of ivil liberty are maintained—and not just for popular people and ideas but for unpopular ones. The Civil Liberties Union quite properly holds that the rights of one group do not include the right tc organize “private armies” or to interfere with the lawful activities of other persons or groups. The basic freedoms give no one the privilege of breaking ur mee s of Nazis, Fascists, Communists, Republican Democrats or what not, except when such meeting turn into riots In several other countries the democratic toler- ance of obstreperous minorities has been followed by the seizure of power by those minorities. There is no reason to fear that this misfortune can occur in a country where freedom of speech, assembly and of the press is accompanied by a firm repression of deliberate violence. It cannot happen in a country | whose people really cherish their liberties. of Pandora’s Box? (Cincinnati Enquirer) At first blush the pr al of screen actress Loret- ta Young for g svernment-financed beauty treatments for women has a desirable complexion. But it is to be feared that complications might run more than sku deep. It m become known, Sam has constructed at Wa Walla, Wash,, a more beautiful post office than is provided for the citizens of South Bend, Ind., with no worse results than the defeat of the Congressman from the latter district at the subsequent election. South Benders, ain for instance, might receive philosopk lly the news that the government had provided Walla Walla with much more attractive CCC encampment and had | constructed a huge hydroelectric project in order that Walla Wallans might enjoy the more abundant life electrically at less expense than is possible in or around South Bend. But even a lineal descendant of General Sherman would be at a loss for a word to describe the likely re- sult if the news percolated in South Bend—or any other red-blooded community—that the women of Walla Walla—or anywhere else—were more beautiful and at government expense than their hometown femininity This is not a farfetched possibility under the Young plan. To begin with, there exists a certain fine shading between the types of beauty to be found in various American communities. Add to.that the in- | evitable difference in skill of beauticians around the nation. Surmount it with the fact that there is con- siderable difference in the proficiency of Congressmen to wrangle appropriations for their districts. The sum is trouble. Miss Young simply has placed another Pandora’s Box before Congress. for instance, that Uncle Possibly the Y.M.C.A. leader who predicts a war | witheut prison camps can figure out how to have one { without reveille and peeling potatoes in the company kllc)n n One idea of unpoetic justice: Waukegan men to prison for—of all thir a slot machine Sentencing four —robbing We see where the United States exported $1,300,000 worth of artificial teeth last year.
