 "Why don't we want Japan beaten too badly? Because Japan, an industrial country, is more sus- ceptible to Communism than China, where live the most ruggedly, in- dividualistic people in the world.
 Chiang Kai-shek never has con- doned Communism. The alliance with the Red Army of General Gnu Teh Is a revocation of the Chinese Reds ideals, not of Chiang's princi- pies.

LINES FROM ROBIN HOOD"
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

On the fairest time in June You may go with sun or moon, Or the seven stars to light you, Or the polar ray to light you; But you never may behold Little John, or Robin bold; Never one, of all the clan, Thrumming on an empty can Some old haunting ditty, while He doth his green way beguile To fair hostess, Merriment, Down beside the pasture Trent; For he left his merry tale, Messenger for spicy ale. Gone, the merry morris din; Gone, the song of Gamelyn; Gone, the tough-belted outlaw Idling in the "grene shawe;" All are gone away and pastl And if Robin should be cast Sudden from his turfed grave And if Marian should have Once again her forest days, She would weep, and he would craze; He would swear for all his oaks Fallen beneath the dock-yard strokes, Have rotted on the briny seas.
