Thank God for you. Uncle Ned. There's
body else on earth Id tell what I'm going
tell you. wouldn't tell even you except
don't get help I'm headed straight for the
oby hatch"
What about your mother? Couldn't you

Sky threw up his head. scared look in his
es. "Oh. no! can trust you, can't l? You'll
yer say word to her or anyone else? But
course you won't
That the answer Go ahead"
The first time Was last fall after the
ale game We were in the Taft and l was
,king for Dad Springer Holt said he'd seen
m go into an upstairs room and offered to
show me- thought it must be some sort
of gag, since we weren't staying the night,
but I tagged along. We knocked, then
Springer tried the door. 1t wasn't locked
and he pushed it open. In the dark we
could just make out it was some sort of
sitting room. l called out. Nobody an
swered and l was turning away when
Springer switched on the lights. Dad was
standing stock still in the center of the
ROOM You believe me so far. don't you?"
Il believe every word that comes out of
your mouth always have and always
will"
1T gave US queer turn. Standing with
his hat and coat on in dark empty room.
At first we thought he was drunk. How l
wish it had been that! What laugh! Then
remembered reading about people walk
ing in their sleep. But it wasn't that either.
He was staring at something - something
that wasn't there. He didn't come out of
it until l grabbed his arm. He looked at
me in the queerest way and was just start
ing to smile when he saw Springer. His
eyes went into their stare again, only sort
of eager, and he started forward. Springer
broke and ran and l don't blame him -
not for that"
Then what happened?"
Nothing. The next minute Dad and
we're walking along together just the way
we've always been. Do you know what l
found out? He didn't know he'd been in
the room, he thought Id run into him in
the hail. Uncle Ned. did you ever try to
persuade a man you'd seen him in Rio
when he knows damn well he's never been
further south than Tampa?"
No"
Don't - don't try it. A month later
Springer hunked his mid-years and got
dropped, but if ever run into him my fist
is going to run into his jaw
Why"
Because last spring one of the fellows
called me Spook instead of Sky He didn't
mean to. it just slipped out. That's how
| knew Springer had been talking; they
we're all calling me Spook behL i'd my back.
Elbows on knees, Sky pressed his palms
to his temples. The next time it was worse
because it happened in broad daylight with
a crowd around 1t was this fall. Dad had
come down to watch the first scrimmage
and size up the prospects. He's wonder
at picking winners. 50 the scrub loves lay
ing itself out for him as if he were whole
gallery. l was warming up on the dummies
when Bob Dent came at trot from half
across the field. You know Bob; he 8 one of
my best friends This is the way he said it,
'Spook. get to your dad back of the south
goal posts. Sky raised appealing eyes.
Cant you guess the rest"
perhaps could but l won't. You tell
me-"
1T was the same thing. only lot worse
because of the crowd and its being day.

But in America there is nothing for
40 billions of dollars to do
Three nations are thumbing their
noses
At old adages of banks and finance
Having little or no credit among
the worlds bankers
These nations nevertheless carry
on for years
Piling up armaments which frighten
the free nations
Keeping their people at work, pro-
ducing goods
Smashing old traditions, of labor,
of government, of religion
Accomplishing the impossible, by
methods new
Terrorizing more powerful groups
of nations
BY mere threats of war.
Comes war: what then?
Dictatorships everywhere
Elimination Of private rights of all
kinds
Desperate sacrifice of all individual
liberties
Payment demanded for the preser-
walton of national independence
Which, when paid in full, may not
be enough
Can free democracies meet the test
of the coming battle?
Assuredly not: if individuals, mean
while, insist on practicing anarchy.
