The revolution in Russia is but the first incident, “The purpose of the Bolshevik! is to sub vert the existing principles of government and society the World over, including those coun- tries in which democratic institutions are al- UL ready established.” __ Men like Martens, the so-called “Ambassador” of ‘the Bolshevik Government in Russia, and his secretary, ‘ { ae Weinstein, who was arrested yesterday, are found to nothing more nor less than agents of Lenine and Trotzky engaged in deliberate propaganda work in this country. They are no more to be regarded as belonging to the United States than were Dernburg, Boy-Ed and the rest of the German propagandists who were finaily shipped home, In its relation to social conditions in the United States the Iniernational Communist movement is ‘mainly alien. It has few real roots’ in our national life. The most active of its agents are aliens who can Be picked up and deported without the slightest disturb- ance of the broad currents of national energy and pur- pose. The country needs them no more than it needs some new species of destructive moth discovered in cargoes of foreign lumber. _" Vigorous measures would be taken as a matter of eburse io exclude the moth. Why should it be different a man who carries the germ of dangerous social ? Not that there is no unrest in the United States. Not that there is no reaching and grasping for present benefits regardless of future dearth. Unrest in the United States, however, is not the kind of unrest that gave Russia over to Bolshevism, ibe for itself similar remedies. to, tearing up Constitutions, theorles of Bolshevism, slan Extraordinary Commisston; _ “Eud should be put to weakness and softness.

To this extent at least it is deportable, danger, But they take courage with every fresh proof ‘ that the malady was not bred in American blood and that they can deal with it accordingly. DOES THE COUNTRY GRASP IT? F, under pressure exerted by the lobby of some 1 highly organized minority, a conscienceless Con- gress had passed a law requiring the people of the United States to give up wearing woolen clothing this winter in order to carry on a war that was won and ended fourteen tnonths ago, the Supreme Court would decide that the Constitution does not protect the country against National legislators bent on making it shiver, Furthermore, so long as the war plea held, Con- gress would have the right to define what constitutes warmth for the individual and what thickness of cot- ton or paper should be permitted to stand between him and pneumonia, In other words, the framers of the Constitution in- cluded no provision that members of Congress shall ict like sane and honest men. The Constitution offers no guarantee that Congress shall not grossly misuse its powers. The Constitution-makers’ theory of representative government contemplated a close and constant re- sponsibility felt by Congressmen toward the people and by the people for their Congressmen. Are we on that paih? TWO GREAT SHOWS. sical aed reign supreme at the Automobile Show. Perhaps in other years this has applied with particular force to the “selling talk’ of motor salesmen. But at present it is less in evidence. The principal concern of the automobile makers now is to build cars enough to supply the demand. Superlatives apply more particularly to the show itself, the inter- ested crowds, the individual exhibits, New York’s Automobile Show is different from other commercial and industrial expositions. Motors and motoring form one of the few fields in which interest is divided rather evenly between men and women. As a result the social note is evident. The show is almost as much a “function” as the opera. The glories of the Horse Show have a rival. Less spectacular but by no means less important is the Commercial Vehicle Show at the Eighth Coast Artillery Armory. The influence of the passenger car on both urban and rural life has been tremendous. But lines of devel- opment are rather clearly indicated. The influence off the motor truck, great though it be now, has only begun to make itself felt in the economic life of the Nation, Unlimited opportunity for growth and devel- opment awaits this branch of industry. The same applies to its ally, the motor tractor. This is the twentieth exposition of passenger cars. | The industry is of age. Its general character is rather clearly marked. Truck manufacturing is only in its “teens,” growing, expanding, learning every day, like a lusty youth. Like youth, the Truck Show is not only entertaining but inspiring. What will be the matured power of such a husky youngster? HIGHLY PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY. S a.worthy example of hard-headed, common- sense philanthropy, let us commend the $6,000 prize competition for plans for alteration of a typical “old law” tenement slum building, announced by Vincent Astor, Alfred E. Marling and the New York Foundation, ary defines it as “the spirit of active love toward one’s fellow men, especially as shown in efforts to promote their welfare.” Could anything be finer? Is not an effort to remodel slum districts into decent, healthful, Hight and sanitary dwellings an effort to pro- mote welfare? Is.it not first-grade philanthropy? Hard-headed and common sense are not often asso- clated with philanthropy. But a hard head may go with a soft heart, Their hearts might move the spon- sors of such a movement to spend their money in re- modelling buildings, but however great their fortunes, they could affect only a trifling fraction of New York's tenements. So they Include the proviso that the alter- ations must be commercially possible, that the rebuilt houses will more than repay the cost of repairs In de- crease of vacancies and the return for better accom- modations, If such general plans are possible, then there will be a positive inducement to many landlords to remodel, and the benefit will be widely extended, Isn't that common sense? It looks to be a diMcult contest, The winner will need technical knowledge and professional skill, the prize ts well worth working for, We refer not} ‘only to the $6,000, but more particularly to the satis-| \¥ ho know of the work, and the service to the pSor and needy of the city, It ls too much to hope that New York may cease to have slums, but application of the best architectural talent to the remedying of past mistakes ought to help in a very effective manner, The people of the United States do not belittle the Philanthropy is a mighty fine thing.
