General Van Horn Moseley and others. The second chapter revealed that the organiza tion's primary aim was not that of stirring up resentment against' the Jews, but actually the seizure of control in the United States by methods whose practicality has been dem onstrated in Germany. Y t For the immediate present, the American people can aft ford to laugh at these plottings which have a comic-opera fla vor; to laugh especially hard at the group's paradoxical pro gram of disseminating propaganda wholesale and at the same time keeping its activities secret They can afford to laugh first because there is no' domestic crisis which might pro vide ocDortunitv for these fascists to start their revolution; secondly because the believers thods are so far hopelessly lew in this country; tmroiy Be cause, while the fascists have a number of organizations which are extremely, active, they have no leader capable of rating these separate groups fixation to the degree that such a revolution would necessi tated" 7 V', M-V :' H' - ; ". ' " j Either through coincidence or through'inside knowledge. .the Saturday Evening Post this week publishes an article by Stanley High, outlining the status up to early this year of the fascist movement; the German-American Bund, the Silver1 Shirts feaded by Wffliam7)udley PelIey, Ue Knights "of the White CJamellia headed by George E. Deatherage, the reviv injr Ku KJux Klanj still directed by Hiram -WV Evans, the mi nor or under-cover organizations, the relation to these of Ger ald WinrbdV their; general approval of Father Coughlin wha appears ;to have remained aloof from them; and the possibil ity that General Moseley might be selected as their leader. ! Sor4e fif these leading characters have appeared before the Dies'Committee, others have been subpoenaed. If the com mittee's announcement, of last Saturday is borne out by com petent evidence, it appears that some of these individuals miirht be indictabfe for treasonable.activities, but that is not so important as that the American people continue to think straight The menaces, including that of a communist revolu tion, to which they poinf exist at present only in their imag- I ination; even if such dangers .did exist, they would be no J worse than the alternative which this group proposes. I j : , ' . ; '; h w r House-to-House Canvassing X ' The problem jof the house-to-house "peddler" or canvas j ser has been worrying communities and particularly their es- tablished merchants for many decades, and occasionally some new "solution" is- offeredr At present the c(ty council has be fore it the ? Green JUyeif ordinance which would practically j bar all house-to-house solicitation no matter what the. pur pose or the auspices. - - -' - 'ff' I . i The! evils, uncertainties and disadvantages of patroniz ing fly-by-night peddlers are not in dispute; neither is the unfairness of their competition which established merchants who pay taxes andjnake other contributions to the Commun ity. Newspapers, whose interest coincides with that of the lo cal merchantsDeddlers buv no advertisinu have repeated ly pointed out these facts. The j It is proper of course to require of out-of-town solicitors a reasonable license fee to compensate' the city for, the' fad that they pay no direct taxes ; it is hot out of place to provide for investigation of the merchandise offered, at the time the license Is issued, or even to require a bond to protect purch asers, f j-,', .1: v- -v.;, ." ! - -' :. i But there are limits to the protection which can be riven wary householders and there are also limits to defensible-re straint of trade. After all, peddlers, were the first, merchants. and it IS unfair to deny anyone est business just because he may lack the means to so engage in "de luxe" fashion. Many of acted inf various communities The fundamental error is the . preconception that all evils should and must bfe corrected by "passing a law." If the Deddlerfs activities' are unfair. his-Xrares are of uncertain quality, the correct solution is to educate the public to those facts. In the last analysis it is the only adequate solution: denied and place a foot iiiside the door - will violate the law or revert to citation1 which lend themselves even more readily to the per petration of fraud. c j !r j .t ' . .., -..fi-l-i '!
