on Ethiopia just published, BLOOD and Ink"
tells of broken-hearted monkey family. The
mother monkey sat down to rest her baby
clinging to her. while father monkey went on
to forage.
When he came back Italian soldiers had
erected barbed wire fence between him and
his family.
The wires were so close together that
mouse could hardly have gone through. Father
monkey and mother monkey dashed at the
fence, were pricked by the barbs, sat down,
mourned, reconced themselves to permanent
separation.
The fence was only IS miles long. They
might have gone around it, but that would
have required perseverance,.
The father monkey might have dragged
limb Of tree to the fence, climbed up and
gone over that way. But that would require
THOUGHT.
Many Of us resemble the Western steer,
lying down to die of cold, stopped by feeble
line of barbed wire, that at best could only
scratch little.
Many more of us resemble War Correspon-

in despair instead of trying perseverance and
using their brains

Ethiopian monkey-they are as "God has made
them"-but you can blame the human being

COMPETENT JUDGES?

Representative Maury Nave
rick, Democrat Of Texas, who has
been alleged by some persons
to be one of the most ardent
Of left-wingers. was attempting
to give a satisfactory explana-
ton for the money WPA was
spending for art and music.
He said:
Here Is an example Of the
sort Of human experience that
keeps cropping out. A high
WPA official, who is a music
lover, heard the symphony or
cheStra i'm Portland, Ore, play
an impressive number. He never
had heard the selection before
and asked the director what it
was.
"The director replied, Tt is an
original work by q member of
the orchestra. We found him
digging q ditch"
Then Mr.. Maverick demanded:
"WOuld you want to let that
musician continue in his own
work, for which he is fitted,
pleasing also the people, or kick
him back in q ditch?"
That is a very difficult question
for most persons to answer.
After all, they have only the
opinion Of Mr.. Maverick and the
WPA official that the work was
impressive.

What each of us would say to this gloomy
person. with the barbed wire problem, each Of
, us should say to HIMSELF:
'"The troubles of the man in the picture
could be solved by climbing over or aUGllsing
around. In the majority of cases it is the same
with our own troubles; ACTION is the thing
needed, courage, will-power."
Somebody will solve the problem of the de-
