Mr.. Sallee said more responsibility
was to be placed on club profess

II am going to meet all profess
SIGNALS and greens foremen every
week, and they will be expected to
make suggestions to improve their
own courses" he said.
There probably will be no change
in the course personnel. The men
we have now seem to be well quail
fed. 1t is hoped the players them
selves will be able to build up the
club units at the various links" Mr..
Sallee added.
He said he did not anticipate any
great outlay of money would be
needed to put all the courses in
shape.
The Coffin course has caused the
department the most worry, he said.
1t sustained a loss of 1886 in the
last three years.

Gossip Rebuked.

King Leopold Of the Belgians, still
mourning the tragic death Of his consort,
queen Astrid, has found it necessary to
protest against Misrepresentation by
rumor mongers. He has publicly re-
buked the unknown sponsors of story
to the effect that he was considering a
second marriage. Such reports, he said,
might be excusable when they concern
q bachelor prince, but are not when they
concern the head of q state whose heart
is bleeding from wound far from com.

But the problem Of what the Bible
calls "the mischief Of tongues" cannot
be solved by indignation. It is human

Trotsky to Mexico.

Leon Trotsky, It Is announced from
Oslo, has left Norway for Mexico. The
international significance Of his hegira
perhaps may be noteworthy. Arriving at
his destination. he will be again al, actor
in the American scene. His writings, re-
produced in the press, and his speeches,
heard over the radio. are to be reckoned
with. It Is not too much to forecast re-
newed activity for him. Still IN asitator,

opportunities to reform the New World
as, tragically enough, he reformed the
Old.
But Trotsky's powers have declined.

nothing of promise. It Is q philosophy
that is dark and forbidding.
To Lord Tennyson, crushed by great
sorrow, confronted with the mystery Of
broken hopes and death there is the
assurance Of q SUMMER future and the
attainment Of mans highest hopes and
expectations. Life to his mind is not
without plan or design. It has both
purpose and objective. So strong is his
conviction that he begins his immortal
poem with the note of deep and abiding
confidence:
Strong Son of God. immortal love,
Whom we that have not seen Thy face,
BY faith and faith alone embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove"
He refused to see in the defeats and
disappointments Of today the shattering
Of that which his deeper reasoning be-
heves could never be destroyed. His is a
hopeful and expectant philosophy of life.
It is inspired by the word Of Him, who,
facing an inevitable martyrdom. dared
to afirm: I'm the world ye shall have
tribulation, but be Of good cheer, I have
overcome the world" He is the worlds
supreme optimist. Those who have been
His followers have faced their tomorrows
with courage and confidence. They could
not be defeated, they lived their lives
knowing that even q cross could not
destroy Him or His power
To enter new year sustained by His
word and example means to give assur-
ance and hope even though the record
Of the past witnesses to disappointment
and failure. We cannot 60 forward in our
own strength, 1t may fail us in an
emergency. Despite wars and rumors of
wars, despite the folly and cupidity OF
human reasoning, we press forward be-
lieving that, come what may, we are
following a leader who cannot be de-
feated. This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith"
Evening star., 1936-12-27

years wiser than 1t was at the time Of
the outbreak Of the troubles in st. Peters
burg and Moscow Of which he was q
promoter. Theoretically. Europe needed
the kind Of revolution he designed. A
numerous company Of idealists on both
sides Of the Atlantic had preached rebel
lion in the interests Of social democracy,
and their influence was reflected in the
tolerance cf millions who, discouraged by
prevailing conditions, were willing to
gamble on the result. So the Communists
got their chance to wreck . civilization
already staggering.
And Trotsky incontrovertibly was one
Of the principal architects Of the de-
struction and anarchy which followed the
collapse Of imperialism. He helped to
clear the path of Mussolini, he aided in
the building of the road over which Hit
Ter rode to fame. The effect Of Bolshev-
ism In the East Is felt today throughout
the West. Such was his dream. As John
Reed said. 1t was part Of his purpose to
shake the planet The pity Of 1t Is that
he was not satisfied with his work. His
plan for Q proletarian dictatorship was
perfect, as he visioned it. Yet when it
had been translated from the realm of
adventurous philosophy into the realm
Of sober fact. he was not pleased. Instead.
he attempted to tear 1t down and argued
for another beginning. The masters he
had elevated to positions Of dominion
drove him into exile.
Meanwhile, . universal audience
watched the drama Of his experiment
with increasing disapproval. His blue
print. 1t was evident. was faulty; his
methods were barbarous. Chroniclers Of
the future will tell the whole tale as it
should be told. And Trotsky's contempo-
raries should record for their attention
the judgment of disappointment. disillu-
sionment and rejection which is the
proper verdict to be rendered against the
doctrine and the forces which he has
personified to his own discontinue and
mankinds sorrow. Mexico will receive
him. but America at large no longer
should believe him.
