FTHE August issue of the Locomo-
J. tive Engineers Journal is like the
bficia1 organ Of the National City
Bank, in the sense that it deals with
hardly anything else but banking. NO

r ORD ROBERT CECIL and James
IL Ramsay Macdonald are the two
Rsvorite candidates for the Nobel
peace prize. Cecil was one OF
the main props Of the league of ma
lions. He stands high with the liberal
pauadsta. He believes in peace be-
tween capitalist powers but has no
objection to waging war on subject
peoples. such as the Hindoos, Egypt
fans and Arabs. Macdonald believes
In peace between capitalist powers
but he faYcrs war against Soviet Rus
sia. When he was premier, British
nixpIanes dropped bombs on Indian
villages. Yes, both deserve the Nobel
peacs prize. By the way, Nobel made
his money In explosives.

Of a sixteen-year-old boy. Perhaps
that accounts for his popularity. Cool

comes generally known, Babe would

interests Of those powers to picture
Ehe Turk as bloodthirsty barbarians.
AS a matter Of fact, they were and
are much more humane than the aver
