MOSCOW, Nov. Foreign
Commissar v. M. Molotoff today
reiterated previous statements
that Russia was determined to
stay out of the present European
war.
In a speech that was part of the
celebration commemorating the
twenty second anniversary of the
Red Revolution, Molotoff warned
the world, however, that it should
not consider the Communistic
policy was by any means one of
paciflsrn. Inc speech, together
with the gigantic military parade
and maneuvers presented, were
taken to mean that strong ges-

Finland in an effort to force
recognition of Russian claims for
land and sea concessions.
Reports from Finland, however,
indicated that that nation. was
not in any frightened" mood,
and that no unnecessary yielding
to the Reds would be considered.

CIRCUS OFFICIAL
ADDS TO BRIGHT
STATE PROSPECTS
JOHN RINGLING NORTH SEES
BIG WINTER BUSINESS:
SAYS NoRTHERNERs HAVE
FLORIDA HABIT"

SARASOTA, Nov. John
Ringing North, co-executor with
his mother of the vast John Ring
ling estate, predicted today that
Florida's 1939-40 winter season
will be highly successful because
many persons have made a habit
of their annual Florida vacations.
North has recently returned
from trip through the north in
connection with business of the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey circus, part of which is
owned by the estate.
Il am happy to report that
throughout the United States
and in many parts of Canada in
which we travelled, found many
indications of increased travel to
Florida during this coming sea-
son., North said.
People who have been to
Florida before are, naturally
enough, planning to return. They
have found it is a delightful habit
and an excellent way to find
recreation. In addition, they are
spreading the stroy of Florida and
are actively the impelling motive
for others who will come to the
state for the first time this
year..
After attending to affairs of
the Ringing estate here, North
plans to visit during the winter
many points in Europe in con-
nection with business of the cir
Gus.
Under the will of the late John
Ringing, part of his estate
which is estimated at $23, 1000, 900
will become the property of
the State of Florida. The estate
includes extensive properties.
among which is the John and
Mabel Ringing Museum of Art
here.

ferred to the End Gurkhas, oper-
ating on the mountain frontiers
of India.
He entered the World War an

containing 1000 explosive and in
cendiary bombs had caught fire.
Newall and a mechanic poured
water into the storehouse through
hole in the roof, while the key
was being sought. When it was
found, he and several others
rushed in and put out the blaze.
Newall rose as the Royal Air

Air Chief Marshal.

TRINIDAD, Calf, Nov. 7.-If
you are already war-weary, try
to imagine how tired of war the
whale must be.
The whale has been on the
losing end in a conflict that has
been going on-for at least thou
sand years. His foes are men
men who go to sea with har-
poon guns and bombs.
1t is pretty hard to get any war
communicates from the whales
side. They lave no ministry of in
formation and no radio station.
However, an unofficial but au-
thoritative spokesman has come
forward in the person of Charley
Plews.
Charley is the last whaleman
of Trinidad. What he says about
whales is taken for gospel by
everybody in this northern Cali
fornia hamlet that was the last
shore whaling station in CONT
mental United States.
He Wants Peace
''If / know anything about it,,
he says, the whale is licked. All
he wants is to be let alone.
