M. from the University of Penna.," writes an applicant to the Eugene V. Debs column, being organized in New York city for volunteer service with the Spanish Government. "I have a wife, hut she can take care of herself, and if I could be enlisted, I would be happy to go and do my best for the cause of humanity. I have no political affiliation, only hate for Nazis and Fascists." The texts of this and other similar letters were published by the Friends of the Debs Column in an advertisement carrying this plea: "If you know the horror of the fascist octopus, which , recognizing no national boundaries in its lust, spreads its greedy tentacles over the working classes, you must and will help these 500 men to reach Spain." The old phrases again. Perhaps this time it will be "Make the world safe for the working classes!" To be sure, there is little cause for alarm from the fact that militant radicals and those in the United States directly interested in the Spanish civil war are so ridden by the war fury. These are not numerous groups. The question is: To what degree are more representative elements in the people atteniping to fight fascism with nothing better than the weapons of fascism? The day after the Debs column letters were published, the congregation of one of New York's churches heard these words: "The immediate danger is fascism. In the end, that fire will consume everything that is free, liberal and fine." The preacher was neither Spaniard nor Communist; his listeners were average laymen. It might be thought that American neutrality had been rendered tairly well proof against this sort of inflamation, so thoroughly have the vested interests ot war been exposed in book and in Senate committee. But much of this disillusioning process has spent its energy tilting with the material causes of American involvement in war. It has become the popular thing to say that it was the lure of war profits which led interested parties to project the propaganda for a war to end war and autocracy. And o course it was, in good measure. But there are more complex forces than hope of profit at work. It will not suffice merely to steel the country against the pull of profiteering and against deliberate propaganda from this source. The war mentality always arrays itself in new disguises; and the most subtle of these are the arguments which would enlist peace-lovinpersons under a false banner of a crusade against fascism. Earnest advocates of the collective peace system today can actually be heard questioning whether there can be any international peace organization as long as aggressive fascism exists. In regret, to be sure, they yet tremble on the brink of a fear that fascism can only be stopped by the sword. Emphasis is thus shifted away from the effort to remedy the causes of war through peaceful reparation of economic and political ing justices. Here is the magnetism of war operating in high places. If neutrality would resist, it will recognize that nun contend not merely with war gold but against the principalities and powers of darkness in the human mind, which seek to control events by making peoples feel that war alone can preserve their liberties. (Questioning war's claims to a high, justifying morality will do much to brace the people against the day of crisis. C. S.

In Sepember 1930, authority was given to the fire department to purchase ten helmets at a cost of $50.35. Roads and streets received some attention during Mayor Townsend's term. To facilitate the work in this department, a four yard Reo truck was ordered on June 18, 1931 at a price of $3,496.25. Paving district No. 3 was created by ordinance which was passed by the board of commissioners, March 19, 1931. This district included Vine Street from State Street southeasterly to the Murray City limits; all of Wasatch Street from 48th South to Vine Street; Glenn Street from Vine to Clark Street; Elm from Wasatch Street to Center Street; 48th South Street from Wasatch to 9th East ; Maple Street from Wasatch to Center Street; and Jones Street trom Vine Street to Myrtle Street. Some of the property owners in the eastern section of the city made a request that certain streets including paving district No. 3 be paved. After giving the matter some consideration the Board of Commissioners, on March 19, 1930, published an estimated cost as follows : Estimated cost of private driveways $22.00 16.00 Estimated .cost of sewer laterals The total cost of said improvements is estimated at $24,521,00, of which sum the abutters portion is $20,823 or $4.25 per front or linear foot fur abutting property on both sides of Wasatch Street and $4.20 for linear foot for property abutting on both sides of Vine Street. There was considerable agitation over this project and it looked for some time as if the improvements would not be made, but the plan was vigorously prosecuted and on May 21, 1930 contract was signed with Christensen and Gardner Incorporated for the construction of work designated in Paving Extension Number 3. On the 14th day of August, 1930 an ordinance was passed by the Board of Commissioners establishing sidewalk District No. 7, which included the south side of 45th South Street from State Street to Big Cottonwood Creek abou 2,000 feet; and the same distance on the north side of 45th South Street from State Street, to the west city limits. Some of this sidewalk was constructed in 1910. Sidewalk Ertension No. 12, located in former sidewalk district 7 and 4, was created and on October 23, 1930, the Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution levying a tax against the abutting property owners for the construction ot a cement sidewalk along the east side of State Street from the north city limits southward about 1540 feet along the south side of 45th South Street from State Sreet to Big Cottonwood Creek about 2,00 feet and along the north side of the same street from State Street to the east line of Joseph 11.
