Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | February 5, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that the political leader Roger Baldwin, who would have stayed clubs of the police, was to the little reds a "sanctimonious petty-bourgeois liberal." The validity of Communist philosophy and practice is wholly irrelevant in the matter of the City Hall riot. Life can go on sweetly enough even if the left wing on occasion stoops to folly, but we of the City of New York are in a bad way if our police prove craven brutes disposed to go into a clubbing panic on the slightest provocation.
