|Dr. Barnes Scoffs At
 Capitalists Charges
Co-Author of Illustrated World History Offered to Pub'
 lie By Democrat Speaks at Local Forum

Terming the "Vigilantism" which he saw typifled by the management of the company in the Rand corn- pany strike at Middletown, a former of American Fascism, Dr. Harry El- mer Barnes, former Smith college professor, historian and sociologist, scoffed at charges of American cap- italists that the Roosevelt regime is brand of "Fascism". Dr. Barnes, co-suthor of "The Illustrated World History, which The Democrat is currently offering to its readers spoke last night at the Beth-El Mems club forum on "The Swing to Dictators".
 "New DeaW, "Old Stuff"
 The historian said that New England had form of "New Deal" thirty years ago when unemploy- ment insurance, minimum wages and other legislation were inaug- urated here but added that Fas- cism and Naziisn as practiced In Europe have little chance to become rooted in America. Dr. Barnes at- tackled Great Britain for failing to halt Italian and German Fascist enterprises in Ethiopia and Spain, saying:
 Tt looks as if Great Britain, which has the all-time record for duplicity and crookedness, might de- sert France and Russia in order to keep out of war, and make some ar- rangement with Hitler or Musso- lini."
 CO-AuthOrs Dr. Barnes is co-author with Sir John Hammerton of the great book which The Democrat now offers its readers in return for three consec- utively numbered coupons and 98 cents, for the standard edition, $l.40 for the deluxe edition. This volume traces all events important to man kind since a time 5000 years B. o. and carries through part of the present year.
 Depression was blamed for the re- gime of the dictatcrs in the Water- bury address of the historian, and Dr. Barnes put at Americas door part of the onlls for the breaking down of the German democracy, saying 1t was caused by the "vin- dictive" terms of the Versailles treaty.
 Later, in New York last night, pr. Barnes predicted that the United States will be involved in another World war before long, saying that Woodrow Wilson and William Jen- nings Bryan were paciflsts but still were unable to keep this country out of the last great conflict of nations. He pointed out that President Roosevelt is @ "big navy" man and said that this fact would point to- wards American participation in a general war before long, a war which he foresees as being fought by na- vies and in the air.
 England wants the United States to keep the Pacific clear for Eng land," he remarked in his later in- terview at New York.

MRS. ISABELLE MARToNE

"The Illustrated World History" is filled with the fact which points the progress of the past toward the fu- ture. The book shows how changes in governments have affected the map of the world, not once but many times. Its material gives knowledge of what the future prob lems of the world powers are and indicates what we can expect from the future.
 No better Christmas gift is avail able, either, than this exciting, in- teresting and enlightening book, Come in to The Democrat office and look at the two editions. Then, de- eide which ones you want to give to your family and friends at Christmas. Better hurry, too, be- cause less than three weeks remain before Christmas.

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 New York.-After years of fantas- tic color combinations in the man. ner moderne, and offerings of mutt ed pasels and grayed tones to rival the traditional bright reds and greens, blue emerges this year as the outstanding popular color for Christmas cards. Even red and greenland, of course, you simply cannot completely displace those old-fashioned Christmas colors- show @ definitely bluish cast with e variety of cerise and American beau- ty tones and greens that verge on the jade and aquamarine.
 Sophisticated Combinations
 There are solid-color blue cards with designs in silver and white or red and gold. There are blue mountings and border treatments Some of the designers of greeting cards got so enthusiastic about the whole thing that they made holly leaves and reindeer and Christmas trees in various shades of blue-al a bit unexpected, to say the least.
 If you just don't care for blue you can go in for those sophisticated deep brown and gold combinations or gray and black and white effects or maybe a bright yellow card, witt an overlay of black and Q desigi in red and white. If you prefer t'

MICKEY MOUSE
 CAUSES TROUBLE

Belgrade. Yugoslavia, Dec. G. (UP)-Mickey Mouse has become such an international character that stories about him were blamed today for an expulsion order against Hu- bert Harrison correspondent of the British news agency Reuters.
 Harrison was directed to leave the country by midnight Wednesday. The official explanation was that he had written "tendencious and wild" dis- patches. The action appeared to have resulted from dispatch which said that a Mickey Mouse comic strip had been banned indefinitely from Yugoslavian newspapers. Actually it was banned from one newspaper fol two days.

send simple, old-fashioned greet ing, look until you find white cards with red designs or red ones with white patterns and lettering. They are about.
 The good old-fashioned greetings are the most popular, regardless of the colorings of the cards them selves. Motifs are essentially simple too, with no straining for the new end unusual. Stars are especially favored, and are used in wide va riety of designs, as, for example, a card of blue with 8 single huge silver star in its upper left corner and radiating lines to accent a sin- ple word of greeting at lower right.
 Cards of religious motif are widely favored. Many are color prints and etchings, keyed to the modern vogue of making the card a gift itself.
 Comic Ones in Good Taste
 For those who like to take their Christmas humorously, Scotch cards are new and amusing, or gay jokes on shopping crowds and tree- trimming catastrophes. For the animal lover, there are dogs of practically every breed, with scotties in the lead (guess that won't surprise you), and plenty of cats if your preference runs that way. We like especial ly Q white kitten and Q black
