Woodward is not sparing in praise
of Washington's virtues, but grants
him only a portion of those with
which he is generally credited.
He denies, for instance, that Wash
ington knelt at Valley Forge and
prayed loudly for Divine help. ITO
any one who knows Washington, the
idea Of this two-fisted fighting man
going about believing in the woods
is grotesque," he writes, and says
there is no proof that Israel Potts,
the Quaker who started the famous
prayer story, ever saw Washington,
who, Woodward says, was never
known to pray in church and whose
pastor said he never even knelt dur
ing general prayer.

Admits Assassination
Woodward accuses Washington, in
the French and Indian wars, of de-
ceiving the innocent red skins with
the idea that England was sending
her troops against the French mere
ly to make the continent, safe for
the Indians. The author also points
out that after surrendering TT. Ne

pose the imperfections Of George
Washington.
Woodward, former business man
who wrote Bunk" and other books,
has undertaken to remove some Of
the bunk from the popular concep-
ton of the national parent in a book
just published entitled George
Washington, the Image and the
Man" After an exhaustive study,
Woodward does not picture Washing

man could not get away with ir

that he was mediocre genera

Married for Money
Washington, according to Wood
wards book, married Martha Gusts
for her money while at the same
time in love with married woman
Mrs. Sally Fairfax. He introduces
some of the first Presidents CORE
spondence to back up this assertion
Although it has often been
written that General Braddock's de.
feat and the massacre OF his troops
was encompassed through his
failure to heed Washington's advice.
the author points out that the
general accepted one "tragically un-
sound piece Of advice from Wash.
ington (which contributed greatly
to his disaster" when he agreed to
divide his forces at a time when
an undivided force would have
beaten the opposing French and In.
dams.
Woodward implies that George
was something of a show-of, that
luck was one of his greatest assets.
that he piled Indians with, liquor to
see them caper, that he condoned
the practices Of following
women, that free distribution of
liquor replaced eloquence in his first
election campaign, that he had only
ordinary intellectual ability and
never aboriginal idea and that he
caused atrocious punishments to be
inflicted for breaches of discipline
after he took command of the con.
tinental army.

Unfortunately, few details are
available as to how Washington

is that, either through his own fault
or otherwise, Washington never
made much progress with Sally Fair.

That is the most hopeful factor of
an otherwise dreary situation. There
is sonc bit of progress in the fact
that the asscmblvs S political com
mission has already unanimously ap-
proved Germany's application for
membership, so that will not have

pleasant situation as it has dcvcl-
opcd ut Geneva. Mello Franco,
however, did warn the assembly that
Locarno was not bigger than the
league. BRAND and Chamberlain
insisted that the league remained
civilization s best defense against
war and predicted friendly solution
of all disputes in September.

difficult position with spirit to

Brazil would permit Germany clec-

possible to fulfill the promises I'M

The blame for the impassc lay not
with the Locarno signatories, Sir
Austen said, adding that the Lo-

"Thus,' continued Sir Austen,
with the moment arrived when
Europe no longer is divided into
two camps but is united in an effort
for peace, this inability to carry out
the Locarno agreements is most re-
gretful. Nevertheless, the seven
siGnatorcs of Locarno are determin-

continue and that their efforts for
conciliation shall be carried on.
