IF THEY 00m WRITE
What glorious news they'd have to
tell
1!. only they could write today.
Those who have gone star to dwell
Where all the glorious spirits’
stay.
In fancy here I set it down,
What Marjorie would pen ’ for
1nd
“I've touched the hem of Jesus’
gown.
The way they did at Gallllee.
"I've smiled at Mary Magdalene.
She visits all the mothers here:
And John the Baptist I hnve seen.
And all the saints that you re.
vere.
oh. there is much to see and do.
There's something always going
on— .
ll'ell all the boys and girls I knew
I've shaken hands with Wash-
ingtou.
"Longfellow has his children's hour.
And Riley makes us laugh with
glee.
But when you take your Bible down
And read of Matthew, Mark or
John,
Or any soul that gained the crown,
Just ”1an I've seen them. every
one!"
No letter comes from Marjorie.
And yet I fancy new and then
The glorious tales she'd tell to me
If such a missive she could
pen.
1 And thinking thus. I am content
To bear the loneliness and wait.
The American Legion
The membership "push" of the
state department of the American
Legion is now under way, and it is
expected by the officials of. the state
department that‘ by the time this
drive, or "push" is completed, be-
tween 10,000 and 15,000 additional
Connecticut ex~service men will be
added to the roster of the Legion.
This drive is thought to be one of
the biggest of this nature ever con-
ducted in the state.
The drive is being made to "sign
up" additional ex«serv1ce men in or-
der that these will be given the op-
portunity to assist the Legion in its
extensive and constructive program
as has been laid down by the pres-
ent state administration of the or-
ganization.
As is well known, the Legion has
a large and varied program to car-
ry out. during the current year.
Among its many projects. at the
present time. is the American Le-
gion national essay contest. April 1
to June 15. which contest is for
American school children. The sub—
ject of the essays is: “\Vhy com-
munism is a menace to American-
ism." The prizes in this will be
8750, second prize 35“. and third
prize 8250. with the money to
toward the school child's further
education. This contest is being
conducted throughout the country
with to state departments of the
Legi.‘ in each state. directing the
contest in the individual states.
This is but one of the many things
the Legion is doing. It will be re-
membered that the American Legion
was largely instrumental in wiping
out the "Red" menace in the west
some time ago. Various posts
throughout Connecticut are engaged
in civic and community projects.
and, ‘in the majority of cities and
towns where located. these posts are
playing a. big part in the life of the
District. .
As an cample of what is belng
done by this organization. the Nor-
walk Legion post members some
time ago built a dam and flooded an
adjacent field, thus making a skating
rink for the school children. At
New Britain, the Legion members
are in charge of the playgrounds as
well as having I. representative on
every community and civic commit-
tee in that city.
The Vi’estville Post serves Christ—
mas dinners to the poor and unfor-
tunate residents of that town. while
the Hartford Post of the American
Legion serves Christmas dinners to
all the cx-service men in that. city.
This latter post recently took over
a Boy Scout troop and is proving to
be a large factor in the life of the
Capitol City.
World War Causes
Under the circumstances which
ordinarily follow a great war. We
should still be as ignorant of the real
causes of the World War as we were
in 1914 writes Prof. Harry E. Barnes
in Current History Magazine. It has
been s. general rule that the archives
or repositories of the public doc—
uments of the States involved, have
been closed to non-official readers
until from forty to eighty years
'after the events and negotiations
which these documents describe.
Hence we should normally have been
required to wait until about 1975
for as great a. volume of document-
ary evidence as we now possess. and
two generations of students would
have passed away without pro-
gressing beyond dubious guesses and
intuitive approximations to the
truth. The explanation of our un-
precedented good fortune in this
regard is to be found in the re-
volutionary overturns in Germany
Austria and Russia before the close
at the World “far. ’
The nature of the European dip-
lomatic and military alignments in
1924 accounts for the fact that these
revelations are reasonably adequate
to settle the problems concerning the
declarations of war in 1914. despite
the further fact that England,
France and Italy have refused to
make their archives accessible to
scholars. Inamuch as I taly was
technically allied with Germany and
Austria in the Triple Alliance the na—
ture of much of her foreign policy
and many of her diplomatic engage-
ments may be gleaned from the Ger-
ian and Austrian archives. But she
’as at the same time secretly ne-
,'otiating with France. and after
.imcricanizing of Europe. At least
that is the view of some of the best
progressive minds on the other'slde
of the Atlantic. Our intelligentzla
are facing in the wrong direction.
that’s all. Let them turn about and
face West and they may be able to

TULEIKA'I'ION OI“ THE ANCIES’I‘S
TOLERATION is recognition of
the right of private judgment and
allowance of that which is not whol-
ly approved. That is all. Yet count-
less millions have died because of
intolerance. No land has escaped.
"Toleratlon, in fine. never led to
intolerance has covered
:the carth with carnage." wrote Val-
' taire.
‘ O
In considering whether intoler-
ance is of natural and human law,
Voltaire observed:
“Natural law is that indicated to
men by nature. You have reared a
child: he owes you respect as a fath-
er. gratitude as a benefactor. You
have a right to the products of the
soil that you have cultivated with
your own hands. You have given or
received a promise: is must be

"lll’MAN LAW MUST IN EVERY
CASH B? BASliDlIl‘ZI'ZEI-3E IEI-ZEE
CASH BE BASED ON NATURAL
LA\V. All over the earth the great
principle of both is: Do not unto
others what you would that they do
not unto you. Now, in virtue of this
principle. one mag cannot say to an-
other ‘liclievc v'i'at I believe and
what, thou canst not believe or thou
shall: perish.’ Thus do men speak
in Portugal. Spain and Goa. (the in-
quisition was on as Voltaire wrote)
In some other coutries they are
now content to say: 'Believe. i" I
detest thee: believe or I will do than
all the harm I can. Monster. thou
snarest not my religion; thou shalt
be a thing of horror to thy neigh-
bors. thy city. and thy province;
"I‘hc supposed right of intoler-
ance is absurd and barbaric. It Is
the right, for tigers do but tear in
order to have. food, while we rend
each other for paragraphs.
“The people of whom history has
given us some slight knowledge ro-
gardod their different religions as
links that bound them together; it
was an association of the human
race. There was a. kind of right to
hospitality among the gods. just as
there was among men. \Vhen a
stranger reached town, his first act
was to worship the gods of the coun-
try: even the gods of enemies were
strictly venerated. The Trojans offer-
ed prayers for the gods who fought
for the Greeks.
" . Thus in the very midst of
war religion united men and modcro
aicd their fury. thought at times it
enjoined on them inhuman and hor-
rible deeds.
“I may be wrong. but is seems to
me that not one of the ancient civ-
ilized nations restricted the freedom
of thought. Each of them had a rel—
igion. but it. seems to me that they
used it in regard to men as they did
in regard to their gods. All of them
recognized a supreme God. but they
associated with him ajprodlglous
number of lesser divinitlcs. They had»
only one cult. but they permitted
numbers of special systems."

William B. Shearer, formerly' a.
special expert employed by the navy
department gm inventor of the

land five, America five, Japan three
This was considered a victory for
the United States because it mark-
ed the end, oftwo powers standard
England had maintained for a. cen-
tury and it brought the United
States on a. level with her and gave
us at the same time a marked sup-
eriority over Japan. But Whatever
advantages might have been ours

Women Street Cleaners Go.
(Continued Edition London Mail)
The decision of the Paris muni-
cipal authorities to eliminate gradu-
ally from their service the women
street cleaners, who help to keep the
capital spick and span. has been
received by some of them with a
sniff of lncredulity.
The women join issue with the
authorities on the question of mo~
live for the decision. which is that
the work is too hard for them. Such
humane scruplcs are worthy. but
wasted. seems to be the opinion of
the women themselves.
They are generally sturdy ex~
ampies of the feminine laborer. and
practice has indured them to what-
ever hardships the work entails.
Certainly, to the Montmnrtre re-
veler who meets them in the early
morning looking pink and fresh as
they wield their brush, they look
considerably more vigorous than he
feels.
The city fathers are not indifferent
to the faithful service of the wo-
men and do not propose to dismiss
them; it is just that they would
like to make it entirely a male staff.

New World of Labor.
There is a new World of labor.
But is is not to be found in the
primeval miseries of Russia. China
or India. nor in the distraught
movements of British labor flound-
ering among its post-war problems.
but in the steady and !progressive
evolution of American labor. trying
out new methods in politics and eco-
nomics without a single break with
its past achievements and experi-
ence.
American labor is the first move-
ment in the history of the world to
emancipate itself fully and absolute-
ly from the intelligentzla (and its so-
cial sects). Therefore it is the
world's first economic democracy.
and it is to the American labor
movement. and to it alone. that peo-
ple must look as the precurser of
the new world of labor. In so far as
the German movement~or any oth-
er—is moving in that path it shares
this honor. But most European
movements, with the possible excep-
tion of the German. are still for be-
hind ln this all-important respect.
