HERE are lot Of good and lovely rea
sons for remembering the most unknown
little steep village in the world, stuck
on the mountainside and overlooking
blue and radiant lake The name of this village
is still my secret.
How got there isn't interesting. It's what
found there. Sufficient to say that arrived
one midday in March when the little steep
streets were busting with the sense of spring.
Dark-eyed women with soft smiles and broad
hips and bronzed children were shaking out
rugs or peeling potatoes or making lace as
they gossiped.
There we're three almond trees in blossom.
The trees looked like themselves copied in
mother-of-pearl, the blossoms cleaned 50
against that deep blue sky. Steep down below
us was the lake, polished and sapphire dark:
and on it was what seemed to be toy steamer
leaving toy pier. And, opposite, those unfor-
gettable mountains with snow on the top and
fields of asphodel at their feet. The children Of
a village on that far side gather the asphodel
and carry them five miles to the market place
of a neighboring resort and sell them to middle
aged Americans and English doing cure"
in one of the big Kur- Hotels there. Actually
there is no cure for asphodels Their fragrance
gets you. emotionally, every year
She" as the doctors would say, was subject
to asphodels and "he, we'll, he got it. as
Rudolf said, after seeming immune for years..
Let's get back though. To where arrived
And Rudolf - he's painter, by the way;
bit of writer, too. He's seen most things
seen most people. He happened, with his
genius for picking up rare places. to have come
onto this place, above the lake, with its
houses of white and rose and amber plaster
crumbling and its little stone church. He'd
telephoned me. And Id come
He welcomed me on what the one little inn
called its terraces" Anyway, there was
succeed balustrade, much Clipped, an orange
uee hedge Of Of A4isaaesa and three iron chairs
and an iron table. An awning too, red and
white, stretched out from the house between
the green -shuttered windows, in case the
March sun should prove too much for u.s.
But we generally dte our Hloudy uedI Ill
the sun. A girl in lowered overall poured out
our tumblers of wine and brought our coffee,
strong and aromatic.
The place was a simple Paradise.
One noontime we heard voices coming from
within the open doors beneath the awning. 1t
was the girl in the overall talking to some
visitor, l supposed. Rudolf had stopped
speaking and looked round the Mimosa bush
that screened us, towards that doorway. When
he spoke again he said, in low voice:
Can you see the man she is talking to:'

about him was the extraordinary grace and
agility and the beauty of his movements.
His footsteps, in rope-soled shoes. hardly
sounded outside the wall of the run as he
turned to 60 up the hill.
"Well?" turned to Rudolf.
Didn't you recognize him." Rudolf asked.

Anyway, before he was twelve he could

popular songs of the year, and dancing with
such style of his own, to the sound of his own
whistling, that an agent in Chicago heard

hit of the whole thing And by the time he
had all London sitting at his feet, and every

Belairs had gone top hat.
Apart from the obvious results of such a
success, apart from all the publicity, Tony had
altogether too much luck for one young man
to carry steadily He got plenty of money
And, with it, as much luxury as his young
fancy could devise. He had specially built
swift cars, Colored crepe de Chine sheets and
a couple of race horses. and he had friends to
pick and choose everywhere; and had them
in quantities. from English dukes and mil
lionaire newspaper proprietors, to his St.
James Street halter in London or the garage
mechanics on any road in the U. S. A. where
he'd ever happened to stop for gasoline.
And as for women
That was altogether too easy. Wherever he
went they clustered about him like bees. And
the result was that Tony believed there wasn't
a woman who wouldn't 60 into a romantic

He didn't "look" so very often He was

But - to go back: at sixteen Tony Bellairs

Briefly he danced his way out. Within six
months he was in New York in floor show on
44th Street Another six months and he was
in The Girl from Vienna" He followed that

Song Bird, and turning that mediocre little
show into hit that had the cars packed and

slippers with impatience under their fur rugs

number, Il Love You Almost Any Way"
Rudolf went to that show. Hed heard of
Belairs and expected to see just another
immaculate dude behind the footlights. with
his coattails flying his patent leather toes
pointed, and his top hat tilted above per
fectly obvious leer at the ladies.
But he saw faun-faced boy who danced
like lightning. sang with voice as thick and
lazy and sweet as spiling honey; who would
stop dancing suddenly, thrust his hands in
his pockets, stroll right up to the footlights,
and, very leisurely, lean forward and begin,
humming with half-smile to look from wom
an to woman in the stalls, letting his glance
rest second longer than he seemed to mean

Conspirators' Psychology
Trial in Moscow Illustrates How Completely Men
Can Be Dominated by Party.

Communist or Fascist revolutionary
from us! He is a man who does not
act like himself, because he has relin-
quished the very foundations of his
personality the individual moral
foundations. We cannot know what
this trial really means because no cri-
terror which we can understand Is
governing it.. The defendants and the
accused are both members of a secret
order, or OF two secret orders. And
both are playing according to some
eSoteric set Of rules.
Perhaps the whole thing is a fake.
Perhaps these men are pretending, or
perhaps they actually are sacrificing
their lives to build up some illusion
with which to dupe the "bourgeoise"
world-the illusion that Stain has
abandoned the world revolution and
is massacring its Robespierres. Or
perhaps Stain really is massacring
the Robespierres. That is what Max
Eastman would have us think. Per-
haps he is right. Or perhaps, as Mr..
Duranty seems convinced, this plot is
genuine. That also Is completely pos
sible, inside the revolutionary men
tality. The men on trial assert that
they belonged to the Trotzky revolu-
tionary group.
War Breeds Revolution.
War is not something to be avoid
ed. War Is inevitable and desirable
as the most certain breeding ground
for revolution. Lenin and Trotzky
did not admire the Germany of the
Kaiser, with which in 1917 Russia
was at war, but that did not pre-
vent them from conSpiring with Ger
man military leaders and getting
themselves smuggled into Russia with
German aid. The Germans sent them
to Russia to get Russia out of the war,
and they did it. in order to make Rus
sia BolShevik, in which they also sue
ceeded. At Brest Litovsk they paid
the bill, by leaving the Germans and
Austrians in occupation of the whole
Ukraine and by handing Germany
outright the Baltic provinces of Rus
sia. Trotzky. who negotiated that
treaty, was perfectly -blooded
about it. Your turn will come next"
he was no doubt saying to the Ger
mans silently, as he put his sigma
ture on the treaty. What we lost by
war We will rewin by revolution"
Only that particular quotation is not
from Communist but from a Ger
man Nazi!
The business Of the revolutionary
is to upset the world and strike in the
reshuff1ing process. 1t is entirely pos
sible that Communist revolutionaries
should conspire with Nazi revolution
aries.
When We turn from the account of
this trial to the speech of Leon Blum
We again breathe an air in which we
feel somehow safe. Not because M
Blum has a social and economic the
ory with which we are all agreed. but
because M. Blum speaks as a Western
man, according to criteria which we
comprehend. But is there any re-
sponsible power left east of the Rhine,
except in a few weak. small nations,
which speaks his language at all? On
that question hangs all our peace.

listening to friends whom he has
known for a decade throwing away
their lives on the witness stand can
only refer us to Dostoevsky for an ex-
planation. 1t is Russian!
But do not think that Dostoevsky
explains the behavior at this trial. for
I have encountered the same sort OF
mind in Germany, among Nordic Nazis.
in France, among the COMMUNISTS and
Fascists, and even in the United States.
It Is not specifically Russian. When
men live their whole lives in an atmos-
phere of conspiracy it does something
to their souls. The scale and standard
of values. familiar and accepted by
most of US, are rejected by the revolu-
tionary. Personal truthfulness, for
instance, does not exist as a criterion
of conduct, nor does respect for life,
even ones own. Patriotism, honesty.
fastidiousness regarding means, are all
outworn bourgeoise conceptions, to
revolutionary of whatever creed. One
of the most poignant recollections OF
my l4C "do Oil CNCIllllS lAldI l. opCllI Ill
Moscow. 10 years ago, listening to the
soul-searching Of a beautiful and
talented American girl who was about
to join the Russian Communist party
and enter its service in the Orient. As
she described, with full consciousness,
what the step meant, I had the feeling
that was listening to novice about
to enter some religious order based on
black magic. She was fanatically con-
vinced Of the truth and Righteousness
Of the Communist idea. But the service
to the fulflllment of that idea meant
that she was to put herself. body, soul
and spirit. at the bidding of its leaders.
Its discipline was inexorable If the
party said: Lie! she would lie: If it
said: Steal! she would steal. If it said:
Murder! she would murder. Her own
will, her own standards. were to be
abandoned forever. Her obedience
henceforth was to be blind.
Men Not Own Masters.
Let us say then that We cannot
understand what is happening in Mos
COW. as I could not understand my
lovely friend 10 years ago. Three of
the men on the stand I have known
more or less well. have passed many
pleasant hours in their company-in
London and Geneva, in Moscow and in
Washington and New York. I have
talked with them about novels and
poetry, about the drama and music.
about politics and economics. All of
them are able men, two exceptionally
brilliant men; on one level of con-
sciousness and behavior We were citi-
zens Of the same world. But only
on one level. These men we're not
their own masters, as no member of
the Trotzky group, no member of the
Fascist party in Italy and no member
Of the Nazi party in Germany is his
own master. Let those who still dwell
in the sunlight of world of reason
wake up to the realization that it is
this and not any economic or social
theory which profoundly separates the

Prolonged
War Scare Is
Seen
Washington Expecting
Speculative Boom
to Continue.
BY JAY FRANKLIN.

lTNHAT the present European
war scare will last through the
Spring and well into the Sum-
mer is one of the reasons why
Washington expects the present un-
healthy speculative boom to be pro-
longed beyond its natural term Of life.
The important thing about the Eu-
ropean situation is that it is scare"
The Spanish war is dangerous enough,
but it offers the best proof that
Europe's powder is still too damp to
explode. When you remember that
the mere hint that the Germans were
meddling in Spain was enough to
start the Franco-Prussian War of
1870 and that Hitler has been back
ing the Spanish rebels for six months
without starting major conflict, you
can understand why more fire alarms
have not been turned in.
The truth is that the British reck-
oned that Spain would keep all the
bad boys busy for at least year.
EngIand's Prestige Rising.
Another important factor is Eng
lands rising prestige in the Mediter-
| ranean. The British Navy backed
down before MuSsolini only because
the lords of admiralty feared to lose
so many capital ships as to encourage
Hitler to start real Anglo German
naval race on pre-war lines. The we'll
advertised Arab troubles" have since
given London an excuse to maintain
and increase strong garrisons and air
squadrons in Egypt, Suez, Palestine,
,, Cyprus, Malta and Gibraltar, until
| today Mussolini's shoe is on the Brit
ish foot and Italy is in London'S
| pocket.
This means that Mussolini's alli-
ance with Hitler is becoming more
sentimental than practical and that
Germany is becoming more and more
lonely in her support of the Spanish
rebels. Eden's speech to the House of
Commons offers way out for Hitler,
since the British have now set their
face against either a Fascist or
Communist Set-up in Spain.
So the war scare is boiling down 10
the old sad question Of How much?"
United States in Picture, Too.
We figure in the situation very def
initely. If England opens up Central
Europe to raw materials and credits,
England returns to her old pre-war
position of middleman between North
ern Europe and the world. This means
the abandonment of the Ottawa
agreements for empire free trade"
and return to freer world trade.
The visit of Runciman Of the Brit
ish Board of Trade to the White
House and the appointment of one of
Frances ace economic and financial
experts as Ambassador to Washington
are reminders that we are expected to
put up some of the raw materials in
this little tranSaction-and some Of
the money, too. They will provide
most of the experience" as before.
If the big deal goes through, the
war scare will be pushed into the
background and the artificial COM
modify boom which is hurting our
markets and fleeing our consumers
will settle down.
