Selected Poem
TAKING COWS TO NIGHT PASTURE
(By Daniel Smythe in the Christian
 Science Monitor

(By Daniel Smythe in the Christian
 Science Monitor The three COWS can barely see, The darkness folds so evenly Across the barnyard, through the gate And up where trees of hlacs wa1t There is not much for me to say: The COWS lead me; they know the way. There is SO much to darkness now Beside the clip-clop of each cow More than the dark that can feel With stones and weeds beneath my heel. Clouds are out there and rustling wings, The hidden fowl and tiny things, And night birds in a soundless flight Racing the highways of the night. All these are gripped there, out of sight I love this wind that dips and flies In a great wall upon my eyes. Night is so huge, 1t presses me, A vast invisibility. And how came, and where go Only the firm cows seem to know. A quiet single file they walk Down to the shelves of the creek-rock And wait until drop the bars Before they find their field of stars. And while all comforting and sure. l hear them make their pasture tour, Pausing perhaps to munch a stem In the long night world awaiting them, I 20 back stumbling to the light And leave them buried in the night.

FINNISH PEACE CALLED BLOW AT WARMAKERs, IMPERIALISTS, WALL
 STREET

Editor, Waterbury Democrat
 The realization of peace between the Soviet Union and Finland is great contribution to world peace and deadly blow to the war makers who seek to spread the flames of war.
 Up to the last minute, the Allied imperialists and Wall Street tried to block the successful conclusion of peace. They were alarmed with the prospects of peace they did not wish for.
 They put pressure on the Scan- dinavian countries. They threatened their independence and prepared for the violation or their neutrality. They made promises.
 The news of peace came as a thunderbolt. The capitalist war; makers were dismayed and bitterly disappointed. The press howled and ragged.
 Said the Tribune regretfully: There is no chance now of open- ing Northern front. ,. And the Allies hold on the Danubian and near Eastern nations have been un- avoidably weakened, with corres- bonding diminution in the chances of opening a front in the South- east"
 Thus the organ of the American warmakers, of Hoover and Wall Street, expresses its regret that op- portunities for further spreading this war have been lessened.
 What the hypocritical and lying press first described as the innocent victim of aggression now it reveals as a channel for spreading the war and actually the victim of AL lied war strategy.
 Reports from London inform us that diplomatic circles are shrouded in gloom. They fear that the chances for ending the imperailist war are growing brighter. Washington is no less perturbed. That marvellous index Of "civiliza- ton" the Stock Market, registers the depressed pulse of capitalism saddened by the news that the war may not break out in its full fury
 But the people of the world rec ceive the news of peace with Q well come sigh Of relief. A dangerous point where the turbulent fiamef of war might have broken through has been removed. The Soviet Union has erected another mighty barrier against the spread Of war. The war- makers are perpIexed and con. founded.
 Though the war press may decry tho loss Of . battlefield, for the people Of the neutral eointFlei peReo has been made moro secure Now there ib c correspondent ! diminuticn In tho chances Of epsn'

British and French. This has helped it develop new pursuit plane, which will make about 400 miles per hour. It is the first twin-motored pursuit plane, has 8 liquid-cooled engine and is ex- pected to astound the worlds fighting forces.
 Experts say that airplane types change so rapidly that a new plane is out of date in al- most six months. Therefore, Bri- tish and French purchases are en- abling the United States to de- velop both types and factories, giving the Army and Navy the cream of the crop. CAPITAL CHAFF

Roosevelt, devoted to his old friend, said No Mrs. Alice Roose- welt Longworth keeps in touch with Capitol events by holding almost daily lunches for newspa- permen, with an inter -sprinkling of social mesdames Walter Winchell is starting a clicky comic strip on "Confucius Say.
 OLD SPANISH CUSTOM
 While Cordell Hull's career boys persuaded him and Roosevelt to recognize Franco's Spanish gov- ernment last year, their chief ar- gument was the protection of the International Telephone and Tele- graph company which had a ll1on- opoly on the Spanish telephone.
 The pro-Fascist clique among the career boys said that they had a pledge from General Franco that the I. T. and T. would be turned back to its American own- CTS if the Spanish Fascists were recognized.
 That was last winter. Twelve
 months have passed, but still
 the I. T. and T. has not been
 able to take back its property in
 Spain. Nazi technicians are
 helping to operate it for Franco.
 Sosthenes Behn, head of the
 company, was kept waiting
 months on the border, and even
 after he got into Spain he was given nothing.
 The State Department has made representation after representa- ton to Franco reminding him of his pledge. The Spanish dicta- tor does nothing. At present MT. Hull's assistants are preparing a new and vigorous note, but what they can do about 1t remains to be seen.
 Now Franco has the American telephone system, plus U. s. recog- nition,. plus even an Export-Im- port Bank loan of $13,Uo0, 900. IRISH IN HIM
 Reprs. John Mccormack of Mass, and U. c. Guyer of Kan, were admiring the portrait of Vice President Jack Garner which hangs in the foyer of the House reading room. Shaggy -haired Guy CT is Republican and an ar- dent prohibitionist, but there was no trace of prejudice in his ap- /praisal of the picture. r 'It is very striking, very striking" he exclaimed. Eve

 Vice President in which he ap-
 peared so radiantly happy" That's the Irish bealning out of him." shot back Mccormack,
 e strong third-terrn advocate,
 with . rOguish grin.
 NOTE-There was more truth than blarney in the remark. Gar ner's mother, Sarah Cues Gar ner was Irish.

Corps, General Arnold, hasn't. WORRIED MORGENTHAU

Morgenthau got intot he air. plane picture because this is the one big commodity the Allies are purchasing and he told the Presi- dent he didn't want their finan- cling operations to upset the U. s. money market. To pay for the planes, the Allies are dumping American securities, plus U. S. government bonds and Morgen- thau didn't want them to depress his own government offerings. Gle has to issue new ones constantly
 Siding with Morgenthau are sev- eral big shot Army Navy men, in- cluding Johnson and Edison, who say the more planes the Allies buy here, the more it helps the U. s. army and navy to develop bet ter planes.
 For instance, the Glenn Mar tin company is building brand new bomber for the French. But as partial result of experi- menting for the French, Martin also has developed a new bomb CT for the U. s. which will al- most fly circles around the French planes.

the Pacific side. It has even been suggested that 1t might be neces- sary to seek the cession by the re- public of Panama of several more square miles to the Canal one in order to provide room for augment ed defenses, although this is con- sidered rather less likely.
 Secretary of Interior Ickes made 8 rush trip to California to settle, the row in the Democratic party there, which had two factions filing Slates of Roosevelt delegates in the presidential primary. It was soon announced that he had made peace and that the row was over; adyices to ears-to-the-ground Californians here say different, however.
 According to these advices, the sub-surface row is worse than ever Ickes dealt chiefly with William G.. McAdoo, head of one faction, and Governor Olson, leader of the other; trouble is, neither man really con- trols his faction, and some of the key figures weren't seen by Ickes at all. .......

SENATOR'S ATTACK SUDDENLY HITS FBT

Senator Theodore Green of Rhode Island is in the engaging position of man who swung at the pri- vate detective agencies and hit the FBI. Green a month ago brought in a resolution for a Senate probe Of wire-tapping, prompted thereto by complaints-in his own state, and others-that various private agen- cfes were using this means of dig ging up sundry kinds of dirt. His resolution is going over bigger than he anticipated, and is being broad ened to include study of the FBI's activities in that field.
 Incidentally, it would not be
 surprising if Attorney General
 Jackson presently made an in-
 vestigation of his own. The FBT's recent activities in compiling lists of suspects" 0i subversive activities have irked him; he told a friend not long ago that he did
 mt like it and proposed to do something about it.

FINNISH RELIEF DRIVE
 SWITCHED SENTIMENTS

Despite Finland's defeat, the FiIl- nish relief fund drive did one thing its packers wanted it to do; it helped switch Americas emotional entanglement away from Nazi Ger many.
 That, it now can be revealed, was one of the things Herbert Hoover had chiefly in mind when he opened the camgaign. He feared anti-Hitler sentiment was leading the nation to- ward war, hoped Finland would drain away the country's emotion. Lately he'd been worried that it was succeeding all too well.

He had taken 1t for granted that my opinion was not wanted and then went on to say it was not an intelligent letter.
