knowledge Of Russia and the world situaton-certain
familiar misconceptions. He says in part:
AT this time when the United States is struggling
with overproducon it is Of first importance Tor us
to develop foreign markets.
"The agitation against trade with Soviet Russia
is based upon a profound misrepresentation 1t
never has been the policy so far as know, except
in time Of war that our nationals should be required
to refuse trade with foreign nation because OF OBJ
jections to its form Of government"
In exploding the myth about forced labor" he
saws that when he was in Russia year ago "the
turnover OF Russian labor was much greater than
in Germany"
TO those who fear Russian dumping, ne answers
that there is no danger Of Soviet Russia invading
our markets with manufactured products to any
serious degree"
In reply to those afraid Of Russian propaganda,
he points out that "this attitude shows humiating
lack OF faith in our institutions and aside from that
the success or failure Of the Soviet experiment does
not depend on trade with the United States" Other
nations trade with Russia, whether we will or not
Cravath concludes:
THE United States government should encourage
and not discourage Americans in establishing COM
rnercal relations with the Russian people who are
hound in time to offer one OF the greatest markets
in the world"

On Their Record

Twenty-seyen lawyers economists and professors
have added their protests against confirmation OF
judges Wfkerson and Macintosh to those already
piled high before the senate judiciary committee.
They make more ridiculous than ever the idea that
confirmation Of these men is connected somehow with
the issue Of law enforcement is precisely because
they have good reason to fear that Wilkerson and
Macintosh will set aside or nulify important body
Of the law that these professional men and women
object to their promotion.
Both Wilkerson and Macintosh, liz previous deci-
sions have misused ant-injunction laws against
workngmen whom the laws we're designed to protect.
CONGRESS directly has repudated their interpretations
by passing a new and more specific anti-injunction
act this winter.
Unless Wikerson and Macintosh somehow obtain
new viewpoints new ways of thinking, when they
mount the appellate bench there is grave danger that
they will attempt to interpret this law they
did the old one.
The lawyers and professors charge in addition,
that Macintosh condoned lawlessness in connection
with the Centraa Armistce day lynching in 1919,
and that he "manifestly has misunderstood or viii
fully perverted the meaning Of United States supreme
court decisions" on various occasions.
In addition to their severe criticism OF Wilkerson
for mis- anti-njuncon decisions, they say of his de-
csions The Chicago Milwaukee g. st. Paul receiv-
ership that he practically abdicated as judge to let
the bankers the job. he had during the rail-
road strike let his patron, Daugherty, dictate the
terms of the injunction then issued"
The records of Wilkerson and Macintosh are
worse than the record Of Judge Parker whom the
senate refused to confirm.

TINE boys who write the book re-
l. views are pretty harsh with
Rudyard Kipling. In mentioning
his new volume Of little verse and
several stories called Limits and
Renewals" they agree in saying that
it is not much good. And the boys
are correct.
And yet it seems to me that they
pounce upon him with too much
eagerness and glee. He was great
man when he had it. OF all living
authors, his chance of survival is
the best. That is, if he will please
refrain from turning wine into
water in these his barren years.
This last endeavor Of the master
makes curious reading. Some Of
the tales are bad beyond belief, but
as far as I'm concerned they do not
wrench the heart as much as the
pretty good stories. 1t is agonizing
to find Kipling doing an imitation
of Rudyard Kipling and not quite
getting away with it.
The book contains at least four
good tries. You can not read these
narratives without feeling here was

Just Every Day Sense
By MRS. wALTER FERGUSON

A WELL-KNOWN neurologist and student of the
n young says the moral behavior of a couple who
are in love depends upon the boy. In short he tells
us that the strength to resist temptation is always
with the man, rather than the woman.
1t is fact generally undisputed, that girls these
days often seek sex experience outside Of marriage.
1t is true that society looks with much less disfavor
upon such behavior.
It is also true that this attitude of mind will make
us saner and more tolerant people. Yet it still
remains desperately dangerous thing for the indi-
vidual girl herself
The age that sees men and boys predatory instead
of protective sees always the moral breakdown o.
women. Hordes OF old-fashioned wives who preen
themselves upon their virtue during courtship are
unsmirched only because the men to whom they were
engaged also made It a cult of desiring chastity in
their mates.
ITO be sure there is a great awakening and vast
Il amount of enlightenment these days about sex.
II has become the one great fact in twentieth CEN
fury existence, much indeed that we are little
bit weary with hearing about it.
Yet for this very perhaps 1t is possible for
hundreds Of and women to go into fairly success
full marriages today after having learned all its secrets
from other sources.
Nevertheless let no girl deceive herself by think
later because she has acquired what she is pleased TO
call wisdom" this subject. For every girl who
comes unhurt out Of the experimental stage, thou
sands are lost forever.
No woman should be foolish enough TO expect that
successful marriage can be made the aftermath of
promscuity Only the strong, the unusual the fortu
person. is able to rebuild her house Of life from
the fallen stones of her mistakes.
Eating the apple remains a hazardous adventure
for girls And in these days of disillusion and
dirt the maiden who walks unstained into her mar
rage is the wisest among her sisters.

Good and Horrible

7 HAVE notion that Kipling may
Il serve the writer's of the days to
come in the same manner in which
Mulvaney was useful TO the young
recruits. Mulvaney, if you remem-
Der, was both preceptor and horrible
example. He taught by direct and
ricochet fire.
And so it is with Rudyard. His
works constitute an object lesson, !
believe, in the barrenness which
must come at last into the words
and sentences and plots Of all who
strive 10 mix narration with con-
scious propaganda.
Without any doubt at all Kipling
is the greatest story teller of our
time. But at an early age he was
ruined by the dream Of empire. He
began TO see the superman as a
British brass hat. All the problems
Of this world and the next were to
be solved by accepting the theory
Of the white mans burden.

III est We FORGET"

A LREADY I am beginning to
IA tread the path Of those who
would ambush the great man and
riddle him with puttyblowers. After
all, this is the Rudyard Kipling who
wrote Kim" and The Jungle
Book" and told the tale Of The
Man Who Would Be King"
Men Of far greater intelligence
have strung words together, but not
one now is alive who has done such
magical and stirring stuff. AS
things stand, we have the business
of writing all mixed up with work
ing knowledge of economics and
politics and the philosophy of Marx.
Even in his best day Kipling was
an inSular and insulated snob, in
capable Of seeing the world in any
terms except as the domain and
preserve Of the Widow Of Windsor.
He has not the slightest compre-
hension OF midas aspiration for
freedom. He does not feel or even
come within rife range of the newer
ferments which agitate the world.
Distinctly Kipling belongs among
the casualties OF the great war. 1t
was too big for the scope Of his can
vas. He had trained himself TO
write Of the intimate wars which
went on each year when spring re-
leased the tribesmen Of the hills.
Conflict was another form of fox
hunting carried on by gallant lads
from back home who wore red coats
and went into battle behind The
Drums of the Fore and Aft"
Yes, he did write that and also
The Brushwood Boy" which re-
mains, as far as I'm concerned, the
finest fantasy Of our time. sup
pose the great puzzle Is not why
Kipling writes so barrenly now, but
what possessed him In the years Of
his brilliance.
AS an intellect he does not belong
in the same room-no, not in the
same block-with Shaw and Wells.
And yet he has a brave chance to
outlast them both.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Spring is
peculiarly reassuring in times like
these. Regardless Of men and their
moods, nature never fails to show

The old tree that was racked and

its faith with a thousand buds.
Despised dandelions are scattering

Grass struggles for life, even where
the ground was mangled by foot, or

One need not be a Pollyana TO

story which is much more reliable
than that to be found in books.
They speak Of laws that are wiser
and better enforced than any we
can make. They represent a system
which we have still to learn and
