Jonah and the Whale

\ CCORDING to the Bible, Jonah
L was swallowed by a whale. 1t
was either a most unusual whale
who swallowed Jonah or the Bible
must not be taken too literally, be-
cause the .nrOat of an ordinary
whale is no larger than a mans
wrist.
AS a matter of fact, whales habit
ually feed on one of the smallest
known types of sea life. 1t is known
as plankton, a kind of floating
shrimp SO small that it can hardly
be seen with the naked eye. Whales
draw in great gulps of water, and
strain these tiny organisms through
the seivelike Whalebone in their
mouths.
In spite of its microscopic food,
the whale is the largest living ami
NAL. So far as we know, the gigantic
blue whale is the bulkiest creature
that ever existed on this planet. They
grow to a length of 100 feet, and
there is at least one trustworthy
record of one reaching 130 feet.
Some weigh as much as 100 tons.
The whale is larger at birth than
most animals ever get, measuring
usually about % feet. They m a y
grow to 60 feet in a year, and reach
full maturity when six or eight
years old. But most whales are
old at 20 and seldom live to be over
80.
Contrary to popular opinion, most
whales cannot stay under water for
more than 8 to 10 minutes at time
before returning to the surface for
air.

Poor Los Renaissance

THE government says the surviv-
l. ing Indians are actually in
creasing in number. l started to
add that this proves the Indians
are holding their own, but, since
we've left them very little of their
own to hold, stayed my hand.
The Navahoes always have been
the most independent and aloof of
all the tribesmen. For the most part,
they continue to live a nomadic ex-
iStence, following their ancient be-
iefs and ceremonialS, refusing to be
Gagged in towns, yet, numerically
and in material possessions, they
outgrow any other tribe.
Can it be that the white mans
culture, which we so jealouSly
strive to cram down the outlets of
red people and black and brown
and yellow, isn't always what the
victims need?
But, of course, to say that is prac-
tically to admit our civilization
might have few tiny flaws in it,
whereas we know it to be the one
perfect creation of man, and for
proof point to its crowning achieve
ment, the late World war.

Radek added that the conspirators
hoped the war would result in a
new revolution in Russia and that
thereafter those territories could be
regained. II am guilty of all the
charges said the once powerful
editor.
Gregori Sokolnikoff, former soviet
ambassador to England, declared
he knew as early as 1882 of a plot
to assassinate Stain, and admitted
he was guilty of plotting to betray
the Soviet union to Germany and
Japan. Vladimir Romm, former
Washington correspondent of L.
vestia of Moscow, though not yet on
trial, was put on the stand and
testified that he knew of the anti
Stalinist plot, that he carried letters
from Radek to the eXiled Leon
Trotzky and that he agreed to be-
come TrotZky's undercover in

Leon Trotzky, from his haven in
Mexico City, sent out a specific de-

France Offers to Help

IF REICHSFUEHRER HITLER
l. will cooperate with other nations
in the interest of peace, France will
help Germany to overcome her pres
ent economic difficulties. Such was
the offer made by Premier Blum
in an address at Lyons. Blum, how
ever, warned the Nazis that France
cannot and will not cooperate with
Germany economically or politically
while the possibility continues to
exist that this help may be some
day turned against the country
which gave it,
He expressed opposition to Hitler's S
policy of making bilateral pacts,
and added: 81 believe I am practic-
ing realism when l declare we do
not wish to separate French security
from European peace"
German officials were pleased
by Blum speech and said his good

The SpoilS System.

THIS isn't criticism, it's timid
L. little prediction based on all
the political experience that the past
yields to us:
Pledges of curtailment in govern
mental expenditures, as eman-
ating from w White House
sources, are undoubtedly sincere.
But Andy Jackson or whoever it
was first coined the line, expressed
the correct idea when he said that
to the victor belonged the spoils-
and not to let them spoil too long
either.
So it shouldn't surprise anybody
or deeply shock anybody, except
the few G.. o. P. boys still scattered
through congress, if Pennsylvania
and Missouri and certain other
states should go right on getting
plenty out of the treasury for con-
tinued relief work on behalf of Sem
ator Guffey and Mr.. Pendergast and
such-like benefactors of the human
race. Not that the ins are any greed
ier than the outs; they've merely
improved in sagacity since the days
VIXEN nearly all the smart wolves
seemed to be Republicans and near
ly all the half-witted sheep seemed
to be Democrats.
But Passamaquoddy might as
