COMMUNISM IN U.S. No close, observer of the American scene is likely to be impressed by the campaign now being prosecuted that seeks to foist responsibility for all recent troubles upon Communist ngitators. The picture of an America honeycombed with Communism is too highly coloured to be readily accept- able; it is far easier to visualise the proponents of 'rugged in- dividualism' riding on the creat of reaction to the strike dis- turbance and endeavouring to destroy labour leadership under any pretext, Doubtless, there are bad spots in the United States. It is probably true that California, seat of the anti-Red. drive, scene of lawless per- secution (on the right side of the fence), is among the worst.

It may have been noted that two police officers have sprouted at dat this point to the support of "Eva" where only one appeared in the days of the blinking beacon, and presumably both or either of them are capable of imparting a little humanity in the police court to the inexorable correctitudo of the robot's directions. Mr. Hamilton has not made it clear that he will not permit Eva the privilege of an Interpreter.
