What do you want them for?"
I'll drop them out Of my airplane

TIE RUSSIAN EMIGRES
CHANGE or FRONT

The outside worlds Impressions
Of Russia have been determined to
a large degree by small but IN
huential groups of cmigres who
are living in the principal western
capita Is. These emigres have
somehow managed to cOnvice peO-
pie that they were the real Russia,
and they were for a long time
treated by governments, including
our own state department, as II
they were the official Russian
government.
The center Of the emigre organ
ization is Paris. 1t is, therefore,
interesting to learn that NJ Makla-
kotf, the titular head of the organ
ization,' is now ready to work with
the soviet government on terms.
The Importance Of the announce
ment is that it marks the collapse
Of great, perhaps more or less
unconscious, hoax.
The cmigres have taught people
to believe that they were PRACTICAL
ly the only survivors of the Russ
ldIl uDDcI anu NY
are nothing Of the kind. The great
majority of the Russian educated
class has remained in Russia, has
endured the sufferiDgs Of the rev
oiution and, though opposed to the
soviet government. has remained
loyal to Russia. Nowhere are the
cmigres 50 thoroughly unpopular
as among the people of their own
class who stayed by the ship. They
are regarded as deserters who UNI
periodically ran away in, tHe hour
of trial and stirred up subsidized
foreign wars against their country.
The Western countries have paid
dearly for having allowed them
selves to mistake these emisre
colonies for the Russian nation.
But now that the emigres are
found out and are seeking read
mission to their own country 1t
would be Il great mistake to take
their uttcrances very seriously.
The emigres are not Russia. They
are eXilcs to whom the Russian
people may some day grant am
ncsty. New York World.

group of that school in the after
noon, Mr.. Jackson named the birds
that remain with US through the
season or pass through on their
way farther North. After calling
attention to the familiar birds, those
more rare were mentioned, and first

the birds. Mr.. Jackson is one of the
close observers of birds in Bis

Coming to the meadow lark in his
list of our birds, he brought out the
fact that our meadow lark of the

being richer, fuller and much more

Why is it that most Of US. when
ever we see something attractive,
Immediately begin to look for de-
fccts The greater and grander the
thing or person we are examining,
the more closely we search for Il
flaw to justify a complaint.
The whole field Of narrowmindcd
criticism is based on 'picking holes
in it,
An actor does Il wonderful bit of
work on the stage. Unable to find
fault with the acting, some people
resort to complaining because he
stepped out of his character to make
Il curtain speech.
A great man in public life has to
be constantly on his guard. The
least slip, however thcughtless-and
the Paul Pry family is after him.
The greater the man become ), the
mere closely he is watched for a
slip, and the more distressing the
slip seems. David Gibson, business
writer, once commented: "Thc tree
of much fruit gets the most clubs"
In forever finding fault about tri-
valitics, we waste a lot of time and
make this life miserable in varying
degrees for others as well as oul-
selves.
Enjoy the statue. Forget the
flaw. ,,.
