September. He IS the author or "Ot Human Bondage" "The Summing Up," and other works widely read in America and England.
 Maugham studied medicine, ob- tained his doctors degree practiced, and then travelled before turning definitely to writing. He offered young writers what he considered the best formula for success-but ruefully added that few of them would follow his advice.
 q should advise them," he said in his precise, but friendly Eng fish, ito take degree in medicine, practice long enough to gain a: un- derstanding of human frailties, and then travel for three years. After that they should be prepared to write, granted they possess talent"
 Vaughan, one of his generations most famed world travellers, said that he has seen only one of the many motion pictures made from his stories-and that was by &C., cident, on shipboard.
 T was frankly amazed" he said. "Why they paid me good money for the story will always remain mys- tery. They didn't even use it."
 The film adaptation of what is said by many persons to be his greatest novel-"Of Human Bond- age"-is familiar to him only by hearsay, he said.
 Vaughan said that he was will ing to accept the assurance of his friends and the public that "Of Human Bondage" is his greatest book, but that his own favorite is Cakes and Ale" which stirred up a violent literary controversy in England when published several years ago.
 He revealed that his average writ ing day begins with light break fast at 8 followed by reading of the morning paper.
 T then stroll a bit ,n the garden and write until l o'clock. That is my writing day-usually about l. 900 words" he added.
 Planning to return directly to New York and Europe from San Francisco, Vaughan disclosed that he has two books scheduled for pub- lication in the fall. One is a novel with a Paris locale. The other is an anthology of the short story with l2O examples of English, French, German and American fiction.
 Maugham's favorite American au- thor is Ring w. Lardner. He be- Ilieves that Lardner in time will be ranked above O. Henry as master lof the short story.

which are diverting the natural sympathy of our country from the victims of the anti-C Christian cam paign in Spain" They seek to show their sympathy to Nationalist Spain in a material way and all donations may be sent. MT. Smith, to Westminster Bank Ltd, 173 Victoria St., London, s. w.
 We quote from the public state- ment of the Committee, (Sept. 21, 193D: Tn the country now under the control of General Franco :. divine worship goes on without in- terference. General Franco af- firmed in a broadcast speech on Feb. 19, 1897 that he stands for religious toleration. He himself stated clearly to Sir Walter Max well Scott early in this year that under his rule Protestants should be assured complete freedom to practice their religion. The Protestant Church and schools in Salamanca have recently been re- stored to Protestants since he gained control in that city" The statement is signed in the name of the Committee by Capt. Archi- bald M. Ramsay, M. P. for South Midlothian. Some of the clerical members of the Committee are: Very Rev. Cyril Arlington, former head master of Eton; Rev. Dr. Rattenbury, president of the Free Church Council; Rev. Dr. Work man, secretary Methodist Educa- ton Committee; Rev. Dr. Benja- min Gregory, editor of the Metho- dist Timest; Rev. Dr. Hall, O. B.. E., missionary secretary of the Church of Scotland.
 Federation
 For further disproof of this lie we may offer the official statement of General Franco given through his representative the Duke af Alba Uondon Times of Dec. 6, 193D. It is addressed to Lord Phil- limore. T think you should know that complete toleration now ex- ists in Nationalist Spain for all Christian Communions and that complete toleration will continue to be the policy of the Nationalist government after the war" The statement is signed "Alba"-The Duke of Alba, General Franco's representative in London.
 Lied to! Misinformed! It is de- plorably true and 8 terrible re- sponsibility rests with the offend- erds.
 Lenin said, "we must build Com munism with non-Communist hands" - posing as friend of peace and democracy while pre- pairing for the revolution and war. And Mark Sullivan remarked in his syndicated column last sum- mer, if the Soviet government had a million soldiers under arms in the United States Communist pro- paganda could not be making greater headway than it is today.
 MT. Smith, as Christians, car we allow such men and women tc ouCdo us in service to win the world to a cause-men and women who have no hope of a reward from a God they deny?
 Very truly yours,
