Pretty Russian Girl
Goes Home Puzzled
By U. s. Job Problem
Treatment Of Negroes
Puzzles Her, Too, Even
II She Didn't Go South
BY WILLIAM L. WHITE.


s. s. SATURNIA.-"Oh, liked
America very much." said the pretty
Russian girl, and from the way her
face lighted up I am sure she meant
it. She was on her way back to
Moscow after . year spent working
for her government at the Worlds
Fair.
"Everything?"
'The Americans are very nice
people. They were very kind to me" ]"
Now people whether they are nice
or not are always polite to any girl
as pretty and modest as this one
was, but this was not the time to
bring that up.
But told you what didn't like,
about your pavilion at the Worlds
Fair. Now you be frank and tell
me what you didn't like about
America. There must have been
some things"
Wonders 1T Unemployed.
The Russian girl nodded. "Yes,"
she said, II couldn't understand
why, in a country so rich, there were
so many unemployed" And then
she looked at me to be sure she
hadn't said anything rude.
II can't understand that, either"
"Or why you treat negroes the
way you do. Particularly In the
South. I wasn't there, but they
told me about it."
Neither do Il"
But I really liked America very
much"
But it must have been hard, living
there after the war broke out
wasn't it?"
Her face clouded, and after .
minute she answered slowly in q
lower tone.
"Yes, 1t was"
"Was the feeling pretty strong?"
TT wax the American papers.
Every day they would say a new
Russian division was destroyed by
the Firms every day!"
II don't know what the other boys
were sending. I only know what I
sent. I said three Russian divisions
were destroyed because three actu-
ally were. And when the Moscow
radio said Helsinki had never been
bombed, I said over the radio that
this was lie, and that I could
show them places bombs had ex-
ploded q few hundred yards from
where I was speaking.
She Believes Firms Attacked.
But I never said the Russians
were towards and had to be herded
into action. Your boy were really
brave. But of course was for the
Films. We Americans liked your
foreign policy in the days when
you were against the Nazis and
for the Czechs and the little nations.
We don't like it now that you've
changed it and are attacking the
little nations"
But the Films attacked u.s." in
sisted the very pretty Russian girl.
And I didn't say anything at all.
just looked at her and grinned.
But they did! They really did.
All along the border"
ANY nation which wants q war
can always find border incidents"
But they did attack us!"
"And you really believe the Films
possibly could be that silly?"
"Of course I do. They did attack
us!'
And could see that this was
another subject which would lead to
nothing.
