And even today the previous back
wardness Of Russia still shows itself
In certain aspects Of living condi-

In the towns OF the u. 8. 8. r. Is not
something caused by the revolution:
II Is o survival which has certainly
been intensified to some extent by
the rapid growth Of the town popu-
lation. But such O rapid growth OF
the town population has itself been
necessary to develop that industry
which alone will make possible q
real Improvement Of housing con-
ditions.
Therefore, when we survey the
development OF the U. 8. 9. r. as
the worlds first socialist country,
let us always bear In mind that In
1917 II was one OF the worlds
most backward countries, and that
socialism Is In Its infancy and even
now has been In full working order

CRATER LAKE. OREGON
(Nellie B. Mace In the Christian Science Monitor)

Morning drops down the sheer walls,
Scattering molten sapphire
Through the waters. Nothing breaks
The stiffness save grasshoppers
Shrill note, whirring wings Of blue
Dragonfiies, and lone bird notes.
Far below little breeze
Runs over the blue water
And faint whitecaps play on low waves.
Old Mazama Is long hushed;
It's angry fires are ended,
And only beauty remains.
These children, playing on the rim,
DO they think OF Mazama2
Do they love this afternote
or destruction? They drink In
The loneliness. stretching out
Eager hands In the sweet air.
Laughing, they offer small nuts
To birds and chattering squirrels.
Morning, evening and moonlight
Quietude, serenity.

Henry Ford is not an intellectual. The
world of books, the realms of abstract
thought, are not his world The confusion
he once showed in differentiating between
Arnold Bennett and Benedict Arnold, his
hazineSs about the exact dates of the
American Revolution, revealed his I'M
familiarity with the world Of hook
learning" But the Ford mind has an
uncanny realism, moments when it cuts
through surface show and gets right
down to the real thing Such moment
came recently at the New York Worlds
Fair.
Ford surveyed the exhibits, remarked
that they could scarcely fail to be an in
spiration to young America, and then
blurted out: "Look at the nations repre-
sented here. These exhibits, and not their
wars show their real character. They have
sent here the things they are really proud
of, the things they want to be judged by.
They haven't sent their bombs and poison
gas and samples of their concentration
camps - they're not really proud Of those
things; they wouldn't want to exhibit
them"
Six million people have seen the New
York exhibit, but Ford Is the first one to
cut through to that simple truth: no
nation can really be proud Of its progress
in newer methods of killing more people
quicker. The chest-thumping about
things like that Is restricted to few
officials. And even those officials, when
they plan an exhibit that Is to show the
world the best about their people, do not
send the instruments of destruction on
which so much Of their energies Is now
centered.
They send the evidence of their progress
in public health, in better houses for the
people, in the creation of beautiful things
and gracious living. They send the evil
dence of their progress and social vision,
the fruit of science turned to mans good,
not his hurt. They send their visions of
a better, happier day when man shall
made fruitful Of life, not death. Why
do they not send their newest tanks, their
newest bombers, their newest plans for
the shattering of cities and the slaughter
of whole populations? Ford has 1t right:
systematically they are not proud Of
these things; 1t Is not for these that they
would be known to the rest Of the world.
Ford has his faults, as all flesh has
them. But to his honor let 1t always be
said "he hated war" And when he faces
the Recording Angel, 1t may be that all
his millions Of cars will be forgotten and
the Angelic Voice will say, "They call
your venture with the Oscar II quixotic
and foolish, down there below, saying that
you failed to get the boys out Of the
trenches by Christmas. But we have not
so recorded 1t here. We have set down,
He tried to stop the slaughter once, and

against It," Tt would be beneficial II every
visitor to the Worlds Fair would note what
Ford noted-not only the presence Of the
exhibits which the nations have proudly
assembled, but the absence of the things
Of which they were not proud, of which,
perhaps, they were In their secret hearts
ashamed.

Hitler then will reiterate the ar
gument that he has no quarrel
with England and France and will
even forgive their aggression"
after he has nailed down the Po-
lish Corridor, Danzig, and q slice
Of western Poland Ito repay for
the lives Of German soldiers.
This Is one reason Hitler Ia,
tried to localize his fighting. II
he keeps Italy out of the picture,
and doesn't retaliate against the
French and British, he figures 1t
should be easier to get them to
drop the war after he satisfies
his Polish ambitions.
The diplomatic grapevine also
brings reports that Hitler has
another Russian club up his
sleeve. For II the Allies reject
this impending Hitler olive
branch, the alternative may be
to face the Red Army Of Soviet
Russia.
Increasing reports come to U. s.
Army and Navy sources that Rus
sian troops are concentrating on
the Polish border ready to help
their new Nazi ally-if needed.
The alternative Of sacrificing Po-
land or facing the combined Rus
sian and German armies would
be tough.
ABSENTEE DIPLOMACY
At 6 O. m, after England de-
clared war, Count Rene de Saint
Quentin, distinguished ambassador
Of France to U. S., was asleep in
the embassy. Suddenly 1t was be-
seiged by an army Of newspaper
men and photographers, who af-
ter considerable bell-ringing, sum-
moned q sleepy butler, clad In
bathrobe and pajamas, to the door.
"Where's the ambassador"
declared the newsmen. I'VE want
to get q statement about the
war"
And some pictures" chimed In
the photographers.
"But the ambassador Is not up
yet" remarked the butler. HE
Is still sleeping"
well, England has Just declared
war on Germany. Don't you think
you should tell him the news9"
"Oh no, sir. You see we have
orders not TO disturb His Ex-
cellency until 8 o'clock"
Great guns, mani" exclaimed
one OF the weary scribes. Ger
man bombers may be over Paris by
that time"
"That would be dreadful, SIR"
replied the worried butler, "but
what can the ambassador do
about II from here?"

D. {. Managers Of Estates
Must Meet State Laws
BY TIRE Associated Press.

BY TIRE Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 4.-District OF
Columbia bank Arms managing
trust estates in Maryland must now
comply with State laws respecting
specified reserves and payment Of
taxes on gross receipts.
The order was issued today by
Tax Commission Chairman Harry
G. Levin after a ruling was sought
from the attorney general.
Efforts will be made at the next
General Assembly session to change
the law to eliminate discrepancies"
between operation of out-of- State
and Maryland trust companies, Mr..
Levin said.
He said some Washington firms
for several years have been acting
as executors or estate administra-
tors in Maryland, especially in the
suburban area near the District,
without meeting requirements i'm
posed on Maryland-chartered COM
panies.
I'm some cases, the deceased was
q resident of Maryland. In others,
real estate IN Maryland held by the
estate was involved.
Assuming that these companies
had charter powers to transact
business outside the District of Co.
lumbia, this commission has given
consideration to the question
whether they had a legal right to
operate in Maryland and, If so, on
what basis; especially If their
activities were detrimental to the
domestic companies which are
strictly regulated and from which
the State derives certain revenues"
