Ill his interesting daily ar
ticle, written for the Pittsburgh
Sun Telefjrapli and other news
papers, Calvin Coolidjic takes
up activities of the Russian t;ov
cniniciit in America.
Says lie: "It is not the prac
tice to inquire very minutely
into tho beliefs of foreigners
coming here temporarily for
genuine mercantile purposes."
Spoken like a true New Eng
lander. f-f
Calvin Coolidge says also:
"Our people arc so thoroughly
attached to their own system of
self-government that we need
nut feel it is in imminent dan
ger." Thus speaks a common
sense America"..
If a few "wild-haired and
wild-eyed communists," to use
the common description, cjiii
upset the work of Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson and Linc
oln, lo. say nothing of MclCin
ley, Roosevelt, Wilson a n d
Harding then we need a more
solid government.
ll is now alleged that so-called
"documents" discovered in
New York, proving that "Arm
strong, "spending Russian mon
ey here, is a disguised agency
for Holshevik propaganda, were
forgeries. A New York printer
confesses. Unit he manufactured
the-alleged official Russian letter-heads.
The appalling extent of It
aly's disaster is due to the fact
that in building, even small
dwellings, walls and floors arc
nearly all made of stone, roofs
of heavy tile. Earthquake caus
ing even a slight disturbance,
separating walls, allow heavy
stone floors and tiled roofs to
fall, through, killing the in
mate. f
It is believed I hut Mussolini
will order dwellings rebuilt of
reinforced concrete. Ordinary
steel framing, is too expensive,
lumber, scarce in Italy, is too
perishable to suit Italians.
MrClintic Marshall'au Amer
ican concern, erecting the great
bridge across the Hudson river,
has devised a method of steel
construction, extremely light,
little more expensive than
wood. Mussolini should investi
