Italy Pulls Fait One.
The cutest diplomatic stunt of the
century was Italy's handling of cen
sorship and newspapermen. . . , Even
nice things about Italian soldiers
couldn't get through to the papers.
. . . Reason: As long as Ethiopia
foolishly claimed victories she wasn't
winning, the League of Nations and
the. world at large were lulled Into a
sense of security as to the negus's
ability to handle the situation with
out help. , . , The truth about the
situation, what we were trying to

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
A READER of thla column takes
exception to the statement that
preaching the doctrine of class strug
gle (with the resuttlng class hatreds
that arise) will lead this country to
what la happening In Europe now. He
says:
"Before you or anyone can,
with any fairness, criticise any
one for aaylng and preaching that
there la a class struggle you
should come to the point of
whether or not there Is a class
struggle."
He adds:
"I maintain that there la a
clasa atruggla her now. I aiao
maintain that It Is caused by the
conflict which exists between the '
methods of production and those
of appropriation and distribu
tion of wealth. I maintain that
this struggle will go on until the
methods of appropriate nand dis
tribution are harmonised to the
methods of appropriation and dia
taln that here In America thle
can only be accomplished by
collective ownership of the means
of production with not only pro
duction, but also distribution
regulated by those who produce,
through an Industrlsl republlo of
labor."
N OTHER words, this correspondent
nays, the class atruggle must go
on (In America aa eisewneret unui
the capitalist system Is overthrown
iitid a communist (or worker') dic
tatorship is erected In It place.
THIS correspondent aays:
"Since I belong to an organl-
ratlon, the Socialist-Labor party,
which claim there la a class
struggle In thla country, and
since truth can only flourish In
the open, I think you owe me
space to expresa my views on this
question."
Aa to that, this writer can only
aay. with Voltaire: "With what you
say, air, I disagree most heartily; but
I will defend wllh my life your right
to say It."
BUT. purely on hla own account,
this writer would like to point
out again thla fact: N
In Europe, for generations, the doc
trine of clasa atruggle (with Ha ac
companying hatreda) haa been preach
ed notably by Karl Marx and hla
follower. The present result of this
preaching Is a struggle between faa
clstn and communism that threatens
to plunge Europe again Into bloody
and terrible war.
Before w follow In Europe's foot
steps In this matter of the doctrine
of class struggle, w will be wise It
we consider what It ts leading Europe

To the Editor:
I hav ben pretty busy lately tvnd
haven't had time to write; but this
piling up of auto accidents haa got
me going again and I want to apeak
of some serious faults and the easy
remedlea, that la, they would be eaay
if we had some one to enforce them.
I will start off with bikes; for gosh
sake, klda, look where you're going.
A large part of bike riders ride along
looking behind them; and also those
loaded with two on the bike or a load,
of goods on one arm or not holding
the handle bars.
One serious fault In our car problem
la the lack of downtown parking
space: now if the business men who
are down town all day wouM only
work up gumption enough to decide
to walk two blocks between the car
and business he could teare hla car
that far out and leave the downtown
area open.
Then tiie double parking problem,
t don't blame anyone when there Is
absolutely no place to park, and
then he should pull over near the
parked cars, but you actually see
cars strapped right out In the traffic
lane and, alt kinds of parking apace
either right behind or in front of
him.
There la the alow driver that you
have to continually bob around In
order to get anywhere and also the
usual fast driver. My Information Is
that a safe speed la 23 milea per
hour. That gets there fairly fast and
If you bump you do no particular
damage and no one la going to have
to bob around you.
t want a word also about hand sig
nals. Honestly, you can't pay the,
least attention to these signals be
cause the person giving them doesn't
seem to know the proper signal, the
hand held down at the aide of the
car Indicates "atop." Now if you are
too lag? to hold your arm straight
ou t for a le f t turn, t hen for bos h

sake don't hold It out at all; we would
rather go It blind than to try to guess
at what you mean; It'a a cinch we
can't truat your signal.
The bottle neck problem at the
bridge Is still with us. It Improved
a lot when the yellow atrlpe was put
on because now the Incoming care
are held far enough out so the out
going cars can get around that car
that la everlastingly parked on the
end of the bridge by the Roxy the
ater. But the stop problem at River
side ts a bad one. It la all tight to
stop, but please don't etay there all
day. Riverside should be a through
street there, hut "alow" signs lor
cars on it would protect the cross
traffic and Main atreet traffic anouia
speed up their length of "stop."
The car tracks will be fixed and
the drunk driver Is beyond hope,
past what Is being done.
My remedy for a lot of this would
be some more stringent rule and
then someone please PAGE the po
lice department and see If they can
not be found somewhere. I know
that whenever I had a Job at wages
I had to WORK at It. "hit the ball"
all day long and not put In my time
loafing around.
