The number of unemployed is estimated at (5,000,000, great er than in any other nation. ' However, President Hoover's various commissions find bright spots, here and there.

The extraordin ary thing is that our best minds, so well supplied with solemn wisdom in prosperity, have not the vaguest idea as o what is the'mattcr with us. fifteen hundred communists tried to free India, by way of the Hritish consulate in lower New York City, on Saturday, throwing stones, making speeches. They included a vig oroiis young girl,,who shatter cd a plate glass window, cut ting up her "comrades" with flying glass, and a young Har vard student, Lawrence 1). Co hen. When arrested, he told police, with tears, that his Har vard professors had told him "to get out among workers and take an interest in their con dition." Trying to free India lit long range, was taking ) he. advice too seriously. , ' . Young Mr. Cohen typifies many that descend from their "cluss" to interest themselves in workers, or free some nn tioa of which they know lit tle. "I came down here to take an interest in the workers," said Cohen, weeping, "and got beaten up. I want to go to a hospital immediately." Those young communist boys and girls, and their leaders, a majority quite sincere, should travel beyond Mattery Park to the edge of the finnges. TJiey would sej the burning ghat, with corpses smoulderintr. dead 3y bodies floating on the sacred river, pilgrims drinking the poisonous water, the streaming blood of thousands of goats, poured out to please strange Cods, an occasional young wi dow secretly 'burned alive with her old husband's body, child wives, moaning and dying in tliild birth, at ten years of age. A visit to India would make hem less eager to drive out Britain, seeking to civilize. Abe)Martin "N'mv it.i Itlno hnniti. JJ rlff bill l ia.scl. nn' ; ?
