This purports to be in response Lo "the general trend of opinion of European Marxists in relation to America," according to the published acknowledgment by Mr. Earl Browder, former general secretary and presiâ€" dential ~carididate of the American Special Courses for Returnâ€" ed Men and Others, at Haileybury .

There is no such thing, and never has been such a thing, as an American Communist or Communist Party. There is only one kind of Comâ€" munist and Communist Party in all the worldâ€"the Russian Communis; and Communist Party. Accordingly, they are forthwith getâ€" ting out of a war which does not conâ€" cern Russia, however ominously it may still concern America. All of this makes these things abundantly clear: They did not go to war for America but for Russia. It means nothing to American Comâ€" munists .that. America is still at watr, still without victory, still withcut peace, still in danger. ' Now they have no further need for pretence and their fraudulent devices. Now Russia is safe, and victorious and at peace. Now, therefore, they havse no further enthusiasm for the war or interest in it. ‘ se Their pretended dissoluton of the Communist party in the United States was a fraud. Their only enthusiasm for the war was inspired by Russia‘s danger. Their sole intsreest in the war was Russia‘s Victory. Of course, they wanted unity in the United States then, as did all Amerâ€" icans. But they had a different reasin than other Americans. Why have they selected this partizcâ€" ular time to get out of the war? The answer is perfectly clear. They were never in the war for America. They have only been in it for Russia. In the first two years of the wur, when Russia was in allisnce w.th many, the Communists in the United States: used their subversive and vioâ€" lent devices to Sabotage American inâ€" dustrial productions and war preparaâ€" tions. _ It was only when Russia was invadâ€"‘ ed by Germany that they desisted from sabotage in America and sup-'! ported what they had hitherto nounced as an "Imperialist" war. It was only incidental to them that America, too, was finally attacked. They have pretended to support the war becaues America was involved in the conflict. But although America is still at war, they are dropping out. "It has been clear at all times,"*~ says Mr. Browder, "that the end of war in Europe would <require a fundamental review of all problems by American Marxists."

WHAT‘S A MOP Such a system might run into lot of money. Inspectors would have to be men who know their business and who are thoroughly familiar with all kinds of motor cars, but if, through this inâ€" spection, human lives can be saved, it is worth all that it will cost. Car owners may complain that they are discriminated against, but every car on the road is potentially a dangerous bit of machinery and is not to be trifled with. "What happened to your nice lodâ€" ger, Mrs. Murphy?" "Oh, I had to get rid of him. He told me he was a Bachelor of Arts from Cambridge, and I found out he had a wife and family in Nottingâ€" ham.‘" â€"Titâ€"Bits. Inspectors should be permitted to stop cars any time, or > any to test the brakes, see that the mechanâ€" ism is in good working order, look over the tires and otherwise make sure that the car is fit to be on the road. The department might very well give consideration to _the apâ€" pointment of inspectors for the pcose of making certain that any car or any truck is in fit condition for the roads. They should have the power to prevent such cars being used if they are convinced they are unrcadworthy. Cars get out of order sometimes very easily, but the public would have the satisfaction of knowing that at some period during the year every . car or truck has been adjudged safe to drive Everyone knows that there are cars on the highways every day which should be s:nt to the junk pile, but they are kept going just as long as they can keep on a level keel, and the. tires manage to hold up. Cars are built better these days than when they: were first introduced, but they wear out just the same, and in too many| instances they are not scrapped until they have been in an accident of some kind and rendered unfit for furâ€" ther use. (Owen Sound Daily Sunâ€"Times) The action of the department of highways in putting a machine on the roads which will pick up stray bolts, nuts and other metallic substances lyâ€" ing loose and which sometimes destroy tires is to be heartily commended, and shows that the department has the welfare of the travelling public at heart, as no doubt a great many tires will be saved by this contrivance, but the department might go a step farâ€" ther and institute a system of car inâ€" spection for all cars and trucks which use the highways.
