Bundsfuehrer Fritz Kuhn is in hibernation in an upstate New York jug. His lieutenant, James Wheeler-Hilwas recently sentenced to a one to three-yea- r term, also in New York. Earl Browder is under conviction, but is at liberty pending an appeal. Several of Browders Communist companions have been tripped up by the law. Seventeen New York Christian Fronters are waiting to be tried on conspiracy charges against the government. All in all, it looks like an off season for people who want to take American democracy for a gangster ride. No tears are dropped when enemies of the government are put on ice for a few years. There is no loud protest from the citizenry when movements that are actually subversive are clipped. l, vestigation pro-Fasci- French iron ore has been shipped back to Germany via neutral Belgium and Luxembourg. French industrialists in Luxembourg hae been shipping Germany Iron ore from their Luxembourg ndnes and steel from their Luxembourg nulls. Organizations, desiring to steer clear of Communist Influence, must be doubly cautious these days. Many of them might well follow the lead of the American Civil Liberties Union, which has expressed itself in favog of eliminating any known Communists from administrative positions. To hurl charges indiscriminately would be unfair. Motives must be examined, background questioned, sincerity of purpose ascertained before anyone is branded a Com- munist But at the same time, this is no time to pamper known Reds or Fascists. Americans can find no better way of expressing their profound contempt for the methods of Stalin and Hitler than by treating the champions of dictators contemptuously.

It probably isnt. The Communist party, for instance, hasnt been rendered ineffectual, simply because a couple of its leaders are in jail or under sentence. Its members realize that their cause is particularly unpopular these days, but that will not stop them frbm pursuing their objectives along different trails. The propagroups, ganda of the Reds, as well as that of will be disguised a little better, perhaps, but it will not be stopped. The biggest danger legitimate organizations face these days is the intrusion of Communists into their circles, particularly into positions of dominance. Such has been the Red strategy in recent years; and, although it was supposedly abandoned some time during the last year, there is little reason to believe that it is not being used now. There is no reason to suspect everyone within a group. Every dissenter from a popular course is not a Communist.

And as the inside story of Roosevelt's sudden decision to send Under Secretary of State Sumner Wellee to Europe gradually emerges, it appears certain that it will go down in history as an effort at a blitzpeace". It will be recalled that the President announced the Welles trip on a Friday morning. Secretary Hull thereafter issued a immediately statement of his own that he had begun conversations with neutral on the problems of governments trade and disarmament sure to follow the war. There was no indication who the "neutrals were, and the inquiries of mystified newsmen were met with a wall of silence which has continued to this day. The reason no names were given out was that the conversations bad begun only that morning, and the only neutral contacted was Argentina. The manner in which this was done is revealing of the blitz character of the whole peace venture. Argentine Ambassador Espil had Economy Nepotists Despite all the furore about economy and budget slashing on Capitol Hill, the ancient practice of nepotism flourishes there as merrily as ever Last year, after hacking a large chunk out of the relief appropriation, Congress, on the aggrieved plea that it was overworked and didnt have enough clerical belp, voted an additional $1,500 per member for this purpose. Many members have used the money for clerical hire, but to others it has windjust been a juicy gravy-bofall. in convened Since the session January, the names of relatives have ppoped up on the enlarged payroll like toadcongressional stools after a summer shower.

Just before his boss left on his fishing cruise. Watson was doing his best to entertain a group of Congressmen and government officials who, because of a mixup in had the appointment schedule, to see been waiting overtime Roosevelt. The conversation dragged through the weather, the war in Europe, and finally one of the callers shot at Watson: "General, you're close to the President, Tell us, is he going to run for a third term?"

These spreads always get a big hand. The variety is ranging from Southern fruits and Western vegetables to Michigan smelt.
