Who's Who
Behind the
News
Outer Mongolia Has
Fine, Modern Army,
DR.. Ludwin Declares.
BY LEMUEL r. PARTON.

TT JUST happened that, as the news
came in yesterday from Paotov
that the Outer Mongolian Army
was starting some shadow-boxing
with the Japanese, I was having a talk
with DR.. Leonard Ludwin, who, unless
I am misinformed, Is the worlds
greatest authority on Outer Mongolia.
He recently returned from a trip to
the heart Of that forbidden desert
land, one Of the few men who have
ever made this round trip, and he
brings back an amazing story Of the
magnificently equipped modern army
Of the Mongols. now poised for thrust
at the japanese. 1t is story which.
believe never has been told, at least in
this country.
DR.. Ludwin, explorer, writer, lee
turer and aviator, speaking IL Ian
guages and holding degrees from Aus
trian, French and Russian universities,
has flown over vast sections Of the
planet, including the jungles of South
America. mapping arplane routes and
following his journalistic and scientific
pursuits. He is. of Swedish Austrian
psrentage, happened to be in Austria
when the World War started. and
fought with the Austrian armies.
Army of 250,000 Men.
THE Mongols have a highly trained
and completely equipped army of 25o,-
600 men, said DR.. Ludwin. with ad-
ditional reserves. now in training.
which will bring it to 100000. as
formidable a fighting force as any in
the world. This forgotten country,
which is about two-thirds the size Of
the United States. is tremendous,
and. I think, possibly determining
factor in the vast and complicated
power complex of Asia This army u
beginning to move-against Japan.
Outer Mongolia is under Chinese
suzerainty and Russian protectorate.
Under international law, it may enter
the war on the side of China. but it
has been readied for war by Russia,
primarily against Japan.
"The army is equipped with ma
chine guns, fame-throwers, tanks,
automobiles, airplanes and all the best
of completely modern equipment. For
years, the Russians have been training
them in mechanical warfare To my
establishment. found that these no.
mads are fairly good flyers and can
use machine equipment. although I
suppose that in actual warfare, most
of the pilots will be Russians
Best Cavalry in World.
"They are the best cavalrvmen In
the world, taught to ride from the day
when they were two years old Cav
airy will be important in warfare
spreading over wide desert areas. It
is 120 in the shade in the summer in
Outer Mongolia and As below zero in
the winter. In either temperature
they are always in good fighting and
riding trim and I predict plenty Of
trouble for the japanese or any other
army which tries to engage them on
their own ground They have many

Can't Happen Here" from the movies,
indicates that the industry prefers for
commercial purposes to stick to "en-
tertainment."
Whether they are clever in sensing
the mood Of the public in making this
decision is doubtful 1t is surely not
without significance that the left wing
theater is the only branch Of the
legitimate stage that is putting new
life into the drama, and it is doing it
by dramatizing in the theater political,
economic and social questions with
which people are genuinely concerned.
We have had for years curious situ-
alton, namely, that whereas the front
pages of the newspapers remind us
daily that We live in revolutionary
world-probably in the midst OF the
greatest revolution since l490-and
whereas current literature is finding
new sources Of material in this great
human drama, moving pictures and
| the radio, the media which reach the
greatest number of people, have clung
TO the idea of entertainment" and
avoidance of anything controversial or
political
Nazi Propaganda.
Except for so-called sustaining pro-
grams on the big radio networks where
opinions can be heard and for a very
| few commentators who are under
| heavy criticism the mass of radio pro-
grams all are carefully de-editorialised,
the reason given being that since most
| of the air programs are commercially
sponsored, the public must be protect
ed against having viewpoints presented
which are such that business sponsors
will pay for their expression.
I see some merit in this argument,
but. on the other hand. don't just
see where censorship can begin and
end. After all, the final test of any,
thing is its reception by the public.
Nobody is forced to listen to any radio
program. He can turn it off and get
something else. If viewpoint is ex-
pressed which very large body of
listeners are hostile to, you can be sure
tIlHt IL Will 20 oll tIle diT commercially
in the course of time because the only
thing that keeps anything on the air
commercially is public support.
In this sense there is continual
censorship of everything. but it is a
censorship exercised by the public di-
rectly. Is there any better or less dan
gerous censorship?
The film Inside Nazi Germany
was censored at the outset by an i'm
portant distributing agency. Warner
Bros, who refused It on the piquant
! grounds that it is Nazi propaganda
Mr. Warner said that the effect of the
pictures themselves. without the ac-
companying comment, would be to
present q very favorable picture of
| Nazi Germany, Mr.. Warner therefore
did not want to censor the Aim on the
ground that 1t was propaganda, but on
the ground that 1t was the kind Of
propaganda he does not like.

A. Wilson Dukes, 25-year-old
farmer of Centerville, Nd, in
Queen Anne County, will be the
first tenant farmer in Maryland to

Dukes loan will be for 40 years
with interest at three per cent.
Authorization payments, based on
the estimated income of the farm,
will average 4.3 per cent annually.
He also is being loaned an addi-
tional $475 to repair builings on
the farm.
approximately $1,250,O00 has
