But when I arrived the more violent school oi radicals had already taken possession.

For that would inelude an army larger than any city square could accommodate. But here you can listen to the articulate among the put upon, The logical reaction to suffering and injustice is protest. I am puz zled not by the size of Communist groups but by their smallness. I never cea.se to w-onder that hard times have not turned a greater number into the radical rar.ks. Probably the explanation lies in th fact that we are a very sentimental people.

He was in my class at college, and I saw quite iui ut iiuu in English composition headed by Professor Copeland.

In the vpar 1909 have taken somebody more expensive dormitories known as "The Gold Coast." He belonged to several of the exclusive clubs cf. Cambridge. And the rebellious spirit in him amounted to nothing more than a certain larky desire to have his fling against the college regulations. But, though I was no prophet. 1 did perceive in the year 1509 that Reed stood head and shoulders above everybody else in the class as a writing person.

He has left his mark upon American Communism, for it endures as a sort of Freudian escape from reality. Orators in the ranks are always prone to say that the great day cf upheaval and overturn is just around the corner. I talked to Reed only a few months before his death, and he assured me then that a counterpart of the Russian revolution in America was merelv a mat ter of weeks. I knew that this was not tnie, And wondered whether Reed actually believed it or whether he merely hypnotized himself into this illusion. I waive, for the sake of convenience, the question of whether such a movement would be excellent or tragic.

KERR SAYS ECONOMY IS URGENT NECESSITY Declares City Should Get Bigger Share of Auto Taxes Economy and efficiency on the part of the city administration are necessary before any reduction in taxes will be possible. City Controller Kerr declared today in a speech before the Rotary Club at the Fort Pitt Hotel.

"We must insist," he said, "on rigid economy. A more economic administration, more efficiency from those who serve the city and better collections of debts to the city must be furthered.

W. was fond of making fun of evangelists who promised to the downtrodden "pie in the skies." Nevertheless. It seems to me that this sort of millennial thinking is active in the ranks of those who promise a nearbv replica of Russia in the United States, though they boast that their political philosophy is the most realistic of any now extant.

It seems to me that they blink rapidly over hard facts. There is, as I have said, a certain Freudian significance in their ora- tory and arguments. I moved into the center of a group standing close to a Communist orator. And a news--paperman on the fringe said: "You'd better not go in there. If you get recognized they might maul you around.

They don't like Socialists." I listeneo to a young man talk, and he told us of the millions of unemployed in America and of the responsibility which the nation owed to them. And I quite agreed with all he said. But suddenly he shot his right fist out and cried, "Put us in power, and in five years we'll wring your necks!" The group which listened was largely composed of his own adherents, and I suppose that the threat was intended for a circle in the big buildings which surrouhd Union Square. But there was in his exclamation something characteristic. 'street; Alex 14.
