Gently returned from Russia. While
there he lived among the people
and therefore has true conception
of their living conditions and hab-
it's. During his address he wore n
native Ukranian blouse made for
him by the mother of the family
with whom he resided during his
visit in Ukraine. In the afternoon
Mr.. Ramsey talked on conditions in
the other European countries that
he had visited. In many of these
countries he held conferences with
their dictators and members of the
nobility. Mr.. Ramsey being SO
widely travelled, made his talk so
much more interesting because the
events he told about were from his
own experience and not from some
thing he had read or been told
about. Anyone privileged to hear
Mr.. Ramsey should feel greatly hon
ored because speakers such as Mr..
Ramsey cannot be heard every day.

strength to these reports.
The British may seem to be just
"muddling along" but they usually
have fixed object and while it may
take time tos reach it they usually
get there.
The strength and power of the
British empire cannot be discount

any little nation run over them
but when they do start the steam
roller, it is best to look out.
While no one knows for sure that
there is any agreement or even un-
derstanding between the United
States and Great Britain as to what
would happen should one be attack
ed, everything points to some ar
rangement by which neither would
allow the other to be left at the
mercy Of foreign power not Of the
white race. The fact that Great
Britain has more than one and a
half billion of gold on deposit here
in the United States, and that all
our recent war vessels, of whatever
type, have been built SO that arma-
ment can be interchanged with all

have been employed in the building
of our new war vessels, seems to
show that some understanding ex
lists. At least it is reasonable TO
think that the English speaking ma
tions would not allow a race of an
other color to overrun them.
Latin-America
After about year of martial law
and war on Communism, Brazil has
ioined the Fascist nations. and we
have dictatorial government in the
western hemisphere.
We have had dictators plenty
in times past, in South and Central
America, but never before Fascist
regime.
President Getulio Vargas assumes
command and among his objectives
are the suspension of payment on
all government debts abroad; ser
les of economic and industrial mea-
sures, creating a new Central bank
a new coffee decree and the build
ing of more warships.
There is no real evidence that
this is anything more than a pure
ly Brazilian affair, nor that it con
templates joining the German-Jap-
anese- Italian pact against Commun-
ism.
Authentic news from there is
very meager up to this time, though
soon we may expect to get some in
formation sent out by the CORES
pondents by mail as soon as they
are able to leave the country anC
reach a neutral country.

SANTA CLAUS is BUSY

Dedicated to all the little children,
especially Beatrice, Eunice and Peggy
Smith, r. F. D. No. 1
Santa Claus is busy, as busy as can
be
(He has no time for visits from folks
like you and me)
Now if we could walk in on him, l
haven't any doubt
He'd wink and shake with laughter
while he told us all about,
The children that were very good a
round the Christmas days.
q hope he does not know of one that
has been bad always,)
Perhfps he'd point at all the bags
iGt loads and loads of toys,
And say "Now these are for good
girls, and those are for good boys"
Maybe his sleigh is ready and the
loading has begun,
(Santa does not call that work, to him
it is just fun)
The reindeers will be stamping and
chewing on their bits,
While everybody scurries around to
find old Santa's mitts.
And when we come to think of it he
has no time to stay,
eve should have kept our visit for a
more timely day.
And so / think you will agree that
home we patiently wait,
1 know he'll show up right on time,
he won't forget the date.
