WENDELL WILLKIE’S VISIT
With the world at the cross roads of its destiny, and with
America playing a vital role in the final decision, Wendell
Willkie arrives in San Francisco this week to address a mass
meeting at the Civic Auditorium on Thursday evening. He is
coming to answer Lindbergh. He is coming to balance the
scales of public opinion. He is coming to give the people that
tone and temper that will inspire them to aid Britain and her
allies to the full measure of American resources and American man power.
There is probably no ‘private citizen in the whole length
and breadth of the country who is better qualified to counter“balance the persuasions of Lindbergh on American public
opinion. His very physical presence suggests a vitality and:
boldness that is needed in times of critical danger. His proven
capacity for organization is regarded{ as a salutary offset to
the Lindbergh genius for destructive criticism.
Long after Lindbergh's recent talk at the Civic Auditorjum is forgotten. there will remain the impression of his committee’s ability for organizing an effective mass meeting. Take
the Lindberch talk itself. It had all of the advantage of a high
powered. public relations writer. alive to mass psychology and
deft at phrasing. Lindbergh's inflections and pauses were we
rehearsed to give the signal to a well trained rooting section
for laughter, applause or hisses. It was a rooting section that
was not concentrated but distributed, to. give the appearance
of spontaneous and general reaction.
What makes Weendell Willkie the man of the hour is
not only that he can talk but that he can organize.—Contributed.
REPRIEVE NO. 2
Governor Olson's decision to give another 30-day
prieve to Juanita (The Duchess) Spinelli and her two partners in crime looks very mvch !ike “a second step toward letting them escape execution,”’ as it has been pointed out by
Sacramento's chief deputy district attorney. J. Francis O'Shea.
The first reprieve was granted a month ago when Superior Judge Raymond T. Coughlin intervened dramatically on
the eve of The Duchess’ scheduled execution. The grounds
for delaying the execution apparently were so flimsy that the
governor's own secretary remarked later that the governor
“*had been imposed upon.”
This time, however. the governor took it upon himself
to cal! off the execution at the last minute, on the grounds that
the bill signing had not given him time to study the case.
No extenuating circumstance have developed in this case
yet to make The Duchess look like anything but a cold-blooded kill-r. and the granting of a commutation would seem to
be a direct contradiction to the governor's own flat statement
that “‘in a case involving moral turpitude and where there are
not extenuating circumstances there should not be any recourse to leniency because of sex.”
On the other hand, if the governor had no intention of
building a series of reprieves into’a commutation, then he is
taking an exceedingly inhumane way of killing The Duchess
by giving her new hope each month, only to have it dwindle
as the hour of doom approaches. :
It will be interesting to see what new line of reasoning
the governor follows next month when he has to decide again
whether to give a further reprieve, whether to commute The
Duchess’ sentence, or whether to permit the execution to go
through on schedule—and also to see how he reconciles his
decision on the Spinelli case with the decision he makes on the
fate of her two partners.
While we've got capital punishment as a
force it; if we don’t want capital punishment, let’s get rid of

® HELP OR HINDRANCE?
Bidding farewell the other day to one of his army divisions leaving to join the German army on the Russian frontier,
Il Duce waved his hand and imperiously cried. ““Go—and _repeat your former triumphs!” Those words, if they reached the
‘German G. H. Q., must have brought a shudder of uneasiness

he hopes the masses. meaning the common people, can_ be

have been fighting Fascist forces in.America and that the goal
of the working people is to destrov their influence. It might

would be very much curtailed and he would not be permitted to do his soap box oratory stuff as in the United States. If
his goal is mere agitation he could not be in a better spot than
rizht here. but if he wants to win a victory over Fascists the
nlace to find them and get them is in the Stalin line. He has
no use for the ruling classes of Britain, he says. don't like dictators, but we have for a long time suspected that he saw red,

revolution. If so, Russia is the place for him.

trial “‘It stinks.” The whole thing was a frame-up,” said
Bridges recently at the convention of the National Maritime
Union in Cleveland, Ohio. If we recall his first trial he criticized everything here and found fault with all our institutions.
Comrade Joe Stalin probably needs some more huskies ere
this. Bridges and his admirers should answer the call. What a

they would have if they were suspected of the least offense!.
