Winter Reading
Cincinnati Ennnirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Perhaps the best thing to do with the eighty
 ve-minue address of Premier Molotoff of the Soviet Union is to lay it away in your library for enter tainment in the long winter evenings Stripped of inaccuracies and obvious distortions of the truth it is a declaration of Russa's steadily closer political relations with Germany and Japan, of her growing hostility toward Great Britain France, and the United States.
 But the interest this amazing speech will have for most persons lies in the unconscious humor of it's attempts to justify a rapproachement between Communist Russia and Nazi Germany. Molotoff revived the cry of world revolution with references to the oppression of workers in capitalist countries But he failed to mention the country where oppres- sion of workers is most outrageous apart from Rus sia herself. That country is Germany.
 Equally entertaining is the Russian Premer's sudden discovery that Great Britain and France "aggressors'-in fact criminal aggressors" Yet he has word to say in this relation of Germanys complete annihilaton of the political existence of Poland Moscow loud enough in denouncing the similar annihilation of Czechoslovakia and Austria
 For Americans there will be particular humor in the references to their country. Premier Molotoff having just grabbed part of Poland and brought three Baltic countries under Russias dom nation charges the United States with holding the Filipinos and Cubans in subecton. What makes this especially amusing is the fact that Cuba has never belonged to the United States, and the Fii- pinos in real danger of being forced to accept which they do not want!
 In a speech so triumphanty indifferent to facts, it would be idle to look for trustworthy information The most conclude from it is that Molotoff and Stalin just want the world to believe that Russia is on the German side but will not fight on that side.
 In two months the Soviet Government has virtu- ally absorbed three and half independent neighbor ing states. These events have eloquence of their own, so plain and forceful that they completely overshadow the manifest nonsense uttered by Sta lins mouthpece of the moment

 The Dominican Republic is living up to its promise to do it's share in helping to solve the refu gee problem and has taken the first step toward eventual settlement the island of 100000 persons in permanent homes.
 Within few months, if there unfore seen difficulties the first group of 500 families will land the island as the result of agreement between the Dominican Government and the Ameri- Jewish Joint Agricultural Corporation.
 Under the terms of the agreement the Domni- Republic has pledged itself to give the settlers full economic civil and religious rights the privilege of naturalization after two years of residence and guarantees against discrimination of any kind. In addition, the Government has promised to exempt the settlers from the usual $500 entry fee, waive all duties on necessary tools and equipment and arrange to finance the living expenses and educa- tion of unmarried youths and young women. The corporation it's side, will select the settlers pur chase land and provide housing.
 The Dominican Government despite the liber ality of it's undertaking discaims credit for acting from humanitarian motives alone, but, according to Minister Pastoriza, it recognizes the need and desirability of having such pioneer refugees settle and take part in the constructive progress of the country" Other Governments might profit by adopt ing a similar policy.

What Fairs Cost
(NeW York T'imeSl

(NeW York TimeS)
 The exposition business in the current year 1889 apparently requires investment of $5 per customer San Franciscos show is supposed to have cost $50- 000000 and it drew about 10000,000 visitors Our own Worlds Fair is usually said to have cost three times much and has drawn approximately three times as many visitors It may be that the cost in the case of both Fairs has been considerably over stated, but at best the per capita outlay seems bound to go far above the figure set in last big exhibition the Chicago show of 1933-34
 The cost of the Century of Progress six years ago is estimated at $25000000 and in the first year it drew than 22,000,000 visitors. The total two years attendance at Chicago was nearly 40000000, which would bring down the expenditure to some thing less than 75 cents visitor If the New York Fair next year prospers and brings up the total att tendance to 50000000 the account will still stand at something like $3 per customer, several times the Chicago rate.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19

Adverse planetary aspects rule to- day. While there is a mildly en- couraging sign for the clergy, ma
 terial in trests are likely to be strong
 Heart and Home; This is a fairly favorable sway for heads of families. The home will be a cen ter of interest for younger mem bers of the family who will help in curtailing expenses. For the old there will be depression and dis couragement Looking g backward should be avoided under this con figuration.
 Business Affairs: Lawyers will have increased demands on them There will be much dickering over the interpretation of our neutrality provisions. Labor on all war pro subsequently, coast defenses - comes under threatening portents. Merchants and manufacturers will prosper. Profiteering will flourish, although cases that attract public notice will be severely dealt with by Washington.
 National Issues: Planetary influ- ences will encourage emotional eX- pression regarding affairs of vital concern to the United States While interest in the coming national cam paign seems dormant party feuds among members of Congress and high state officials will flare up. Leading officials and prominent statesmen will be attacked both di- rectly and indirectly by the press Libel suits are forecast.
 International Affairs: Radial clements throughout the Unite States will gain strength through secret activities. Subversive organ izations will flourish this month, but there will be a day Of reckoning i when the treachery of a foreign pow CT is discovered. The Soviet gov ernment will stand revealed as mo- tivated by selfish aims with little loyalty to any ally.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of general good fortune. There will be progress in domestic happiness and in business.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly intellectual. Lovers of art, music and literature, hey will be impatient in dealings ritb parsops of averape intellioence

strong in the morning, but in the afternoon benefic influences dom mate. The planetary government is threatening for workers Labor organizations may develop bitter differences of opinion, especially re- garding the foreign policies ofs the United States.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to thwarting and irritating vibrations under this configuration. They may have reason to resent the dictatorial attitude of men in the family. It is a forbidding sway for love affairs and girls should be care ful about letters to young men. Women will have difficulty in secur- ing well-paid office positions.
 Business Affairs: Holiday trade will be extraordinarily good and jewellers, furriers and dealers in leather goods will profit. Manu- lecturers will gain through govern ment contracts. Food prices will soar in the next month, bringing unusual rewards to farmers, al- though many will suffer disappoint- ments because of contracts and past obligations.
 National Issues An attempt to unify public opinion on U. s. for eign policy will be supplemented by events that cause indignation and resentment among loyal citizens. Canada will cause embarrassing prob lens. While a majority will favor defenEing democracy, treacherous influences may be at work in or ganized groups.
 International Affairs: Alternate hope and fear will be felt in the United States as the war in Europe progresses. There may be truce brought about by civilian protest at the frightful loss of life. The danger of revolutions is forecast
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mixed good and bad experiences. While do- mestic happiness will belong to many extraordinary conditions may cause anxiety
 Children born on this day may be inclined to dream. These sub jects of Scorpio with Mars as their ruling planet may be kindly and sympathetic but rather careless and disorderly.
