HAS NOTHING TO SAY
There are two billion persons
on this earth, and pretty nearly
as many dreams every night.
When a dream comes true it gets
into the newspapers; otherwise 1t
doesn't. A complete check-up-a
fantastic idea, Of course-would
give us the percentage of dream
fulfillment. Some master of the
calculus could take that and tell
us whether, in the all but infinite
chances Of human casualty, the
dreams come true could be eX-
planned by permutations and com.
binationS. Possibly they could.
Science, not having made the cx.
periments, has nothing to say.
In fact, science has little of
anything to say about dreams that
is authoritative or conclusive. 1t
simply doesn't know. A few of the
more Skeptical physicians and
psychologists explain dreams by
various pressures or disturbances
in the vase motor region or other
parts of the body. They cite a
man who dreamed constantly of
q terrible creature clawing at his
neck, and who was later found
to have cancer of the throat.
But what is dream? Specifi,

Dr.. Carl Gustav Jung, great Wen,
neSe psychologist, has profoundly
affected current thought on this
sUbject-even scientific thought
and his significant lecture in New
York last October, when he was
honored by Harvard University,
was passed over all too lightly in
the news.
Here is an inadequate para.
phrase of DIR. Jung's startling
theory: There is a racial stream
Of the unconscious. Dreams are
passed down through generations,
ghostly ships on a ghostly river.
In these dreams, the drama of
human experience is wrought into
timeleSS, recurring symbols. They
are called "mandals" by the psy.
biologists. DR.. Jung threw many
of them on the screen in his
lecture-dream drawings made by
persons in deep hypnosis, or re.
membered from sleep or in the
emergency Of a "Sublimal" self, or
in the release from Illustration by
psychological methods.
SYMBOLS
Many Of them are beautiful,
intricate and decorative designs,
such as have been woven into the
decorative motifs Of ancient tenn.
pies. You are as apt to dredge up
one of these symbolic designs
from an American savage as from
Park Avenue penthouse dweller,
All are symbolic, say the psycholo
gists. The Swastika is a symbol
of the ancient dream life-I be
lieVe they all agree on that.

lutism, the recovery of Pagan gods
and all the rest Of it: and that
the SWastika was the inevitable
accompanying symbol.
Far fetched? This writer here
is strictly a reporter. The world
knows and may appraise DR..
Jung'S standing as scientist. Out
on the river is great ship with
the Nazi symbol on its stack. Did
it surge UP from the racial stream
of the unconscious? I hope the

STRATEGY
Suggestion!

Suggestion!
Watch the Senate closely these
days. Some observers declare that
the strategy to be used in battling
against the change in the Supreme
Court will be to draw out the pro-
ceedings of the Senate until the
measure is lost in the shuttle dur
ing the last hours Of the session.
One way to accomplish this pur-
pose, it is pointed out, would be
to subtly filibuSter against any
and all bills brought up thereby
delaying each proposal just a little
longer than necessary and showing
consideration of the Court meas
ure back further and further.
