A PLUCKY BOY’S REWARD 1 What does a stray pup amount i anyway? What does it matter if such a helpless animal is abused and tortured to, make sport for a gang of thoughtless boys? | Who cares? One small boys cared—and_ because | he cared he made a friend—a friend who | didn’t forget. | Some years ago a kindly man named | Jacob Siler walked along the bank of the | Mississippi river near St. Louis and came themselves vy throwing a stray pup into the river time after time, in spite of the! protests of one small companion. Finally the pup’s defender engaged the others in fistie combat to save the wretched animal from drowning. He battled so courag- eously that he won the day and saved the Mr. Siler commended the boy, whose name was Otto Schmidt, and between the | two a lifelong friendship. sprang up. Siler | boy, now a man whose humane instincts | and courage had rescued the poor dog and won the admiration of the casual passerby. | Those who befriend unfortunate ani- mals do not always obtain material re- | wards such as came to Otto Schmidt, but they inevitably have the reward of an ap- proving conscience, which is greater still.

LE ROSSIGNOL Dean, College of Business Administration, University of Nebraska x “We are becoming celebrated, San- fie,” said Professor MacAndrew Cantlie to his dog, after perusing the June number of THE COMMUNIST INTERNA- TIONAL. “See herc, my friend: Publ.shed monthl: in Engli.h, Rus- sian, German, French, Chinese and Spanish, and containing leading articles by three of our fellow -citizens: William Z. Fos- ter, Earl Brow- der, and James W. Wood who, evidently, have an international reputation. Are you not proud of them, Sandie? Or jealous perhaps? about us and the blessings of our .LO., which arc being watched with sympathy and solicitude by commu- nists everywhere as signs of the com- ing social revolution. It’s, fine, to be in the spotlight, is it not, Sandie McGraw? “Aweel! Though not yet claiming John Lewis as comrade, Messrs. Fos- ter and Browder are cheering him on as champion of unorgattized labor and one who, when properly indoctrinated and immersed in larx-Leninism. will do valiant servic@,in the van- guard of the proletariat. This Gideon's band, according to their master Stalin, “feels itself able to inspire the masses with a proletaria. class-conscious- ness and '2ad the workers vut of the narrow path of trade unionism and consolidate them into an independent political force.’ Do you think Sandie, that John Lewis will rise to the occa- sion? “To be sure, he has already pro- moted’ a national political organiza- tion—Labor’s Non-Partisan League— and may yet be tho standard-bearer of the Farmer-Labor Party, Evident- ly, the bishops of our Communist Party have grea: hopes of their pros- pective neophyte. Nor do they despair of the ultimate salvation of William Green, for, as, the good old hymn has it: ‘While the light holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return.’ How is that for predestination, Sandie? “If you wish for evidence about the actual participation of communists in the doings of the C.L.O., listen to the words of Brother Browder as aere printed: ‘The communists have close and sympathetic contact with all of the mass organizations that are ac- tively taking part in che progressive side of the big political realignment in America. More ang more .t is pos- sible to move toward collaboration with the socially progressive and democratic groupings.’ And again, in THE COMMUNIST for July, ‘We are giving all our best forces and mobiliz- ing all our organizations to assist the work of the C.1.0." “Listen now, Sandie, to Father Fos- ter, veteran communist and leader of the great steel strike of 1919: ‘In the many C.LO. organization campaigns and strikes, the Communists are play- ing an importan* réle. Fspecially is this true of the auto and steel indus- tries. In the vital General Motors strike the Communists were an im- portant factor and this was also true in the bitterly fought strike o: 40,000 marine transport workers (A.t . of L.), the winning of which stimulated the workers’ fighting spirit generally.’ “In view of all this, Brother: Brow- der, with sublime assurance, not to say effrontery, calls for ‘a general unity of all the progressive forces against the semi-fascist and fascist reaction, and at the same time to con- tinue without a break the building of the Farmer-Labor forces.’ “Whereat we farmers and progres- sives of the Middle-West wonder whether such intemperate and irre- sponsible talk and action may not plunge the country into fascism. Have you ever heard of a boomerang, Sandie McGraw?” (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper) au THE W EATHER Today’s Anniversaries 1744—John Houston, Revolu-} tionary leader and soldier, {July 20, 1796. j 1769—David Hosack, New York City physician “-1Yerk, Died Dee. 22, 1835.

Whenever there is a sit-down strike in progress, the ruse might be adopted of playing the “Star Spangled Banner”, and thereby keep the strikers bare-headed and on their feet. Inasmuch as next year is an election year for a number of congressmen, we pre- dict liberal bills for veterans, farmers, laborers and all others will be passed. The beneficiaries will feel that the money taken from them through the convenient method of taxation is a gift from the congressmen and will see to it that the process is tinued by keeping the benevolent gressmen in office. con- con- There are 10,000,000 laws and ordi- nances enacted by Federal, “State and municipal governments still in force at! the present time, but a multitude of them | are never enforced.

A LITTLE TOO UNANIMOUS Constantine Brown is a writer on for- eign affairs for one of the newspapers published in Washington and, like others who write much, says some good things and, occasionally, some silly things. For instance, writing about the 000,000 Germans and 4,000,000 Italians living in Brazil, Mr. Brown develops Fascist-Nazi complex, asserting that all these residents of Brazil “follow the dic- tates of their respective governments as scrupulously as if they lived in Germany or.in Italy.” He surely knows better. 2- They may follow! the pattern of their native lands in} the! new places where they live but that 2,000,000 or 4,000,000 people take orders from any hombland is absurd. The danger that confronts Brazil, it seems, is that this large group may be ex- pected to support an effort to establish Fascist or Nazist regimes. Perhaps, if such an attempt is made it will be dis- covered that, like the German-Americans in the United States, most of them will be loyal to the new land of their adoption.
