Editor The Times: In cold,
calm words the press Of the
country has been reporting that
more than two million men on
both sides have been engaged in
battle in France.
The stock exchange in the
various countries goes up. The
French and German capitalists
are coming millions. Out on the
battlefield, it is different. Work.

France are locked in death

class and peasant kids who have
been driven into France by the
greed of their capitalist mas
tiers.
Do the Partisan bankers care
for anything but their profits?
The imperialist wolf, Bonnet, is
the blood-brother to the impe-
rial wolf. Goering.
The hangman Of Ireland is the
blood-brother of the hangman of
Austria and Czechoslovakia.
And for these criminals at the
top, more than two million
young boys have been hacking
each other to death as enc
mics" 1t is a monstrous crime.
The mothers of America must
see in these dying sons, their
own sons.
Americas boys must not die
so that the stock exchange can
enjoy blood profits. The people
must say to the Roosevelt gov
eminent: I'VE demand that the
governments march to war be
stopped. America must remain
at peace"

It seems that America, hav-

Senator Holt Spikes His Brilliant Career
Continued from Page One)

'misdemeanors" by that time had mounted to what any old line party man would consider a stag gering total.
 He waged a filibuster against the .irst Guffey coal bill (which cost i'm the support of West Virginia coal miners and John l.. Lewls) by reading to the Senate for hours, Aescs's Fables.
 He attacked the WPA. He op- Dcsed the reelection of his Dem scratic colleague, Senator M. M. Nsely. He was a keynote speaker
 1t Father Coughlin's social jus tee convention in Cleveland ana held "a conference" with Repub- ncan presidential nominee Ali M. Landcn when the 1886 campaign was as fever heat. After election, he declared Congress should get an orinion from the Attorney General whether the sale of Dem ocratic campaign books wasn't a violation of the corrupt practices act.
 There was hardly a New Deal measure that reared it's head that Senator Holt didn't lambast. Tha WPA, the National Labor Rela- ticns Board, the Home Owners Lean Corp, the Federal Housing Plan, the Supreme Court revision proposal, the third term, all got their share of his blistering ora tory.

CHAPTER TwE.TY
A Kingdom and a Brid,

tt
 The news of Fries good fortune travelled before him. So that when he rode into the good gray Queen capital he ht ard trumpets playing march. On the castle lawn he saw the Queen on 9 throne at the end of long avenue of people who shouted when they saw Eric s winged horse drop down on the turf
 Eric looked about wondering. A knight in arnor stepped up 70 him and said, The Queen wishes to speak with you"
 Erie felt shy But there was nothing to do but walk down that long lane of shouting people. He bowed right and left.
 The good, gray Queen smiled at him warmly. On her left sat Prin- cess Karin. She wore a simmer ing white dress embroidered with garlandg Of rosebuds In her yell low hair there was a crown Of pale pink roses. She smiled shyly.
 On the queens left sat Santa Claus, dressed again in his cheery red suit with the bands of white fur. He was munching a coconut cookie and he Winked joyialiy at Eric as he did it. Eric winked back.
 Then the Queen spoke. Eric, '" she said, we have heard that you were set the task of proving your worth as king. You have done so Tomorrow you shall go home to rule your own land.
 Ycu Are Wise Enough
 You gave my kingdom help when no one else was able to break the spell of the three giants. The fairy world helped you with a magic locket and magic sea- shell But you also used your own wits So you are wise enough to rule.
 Then when your own task was finished you stopped to help three brothers in trouble So you are both kind and generous enough to be king. Before ycu go I want to reward you Is there anything in my kingdom you would have?"
 Eric had been listening, but his eyes had been looking at Karin. The queen saw and smiled. Karins cheeks were rosy with a blush. Eric said, Good Queen, where I rule there must be 8 queen to sit on my right hand. May I ask for your princess in marriage?"
 Then Santa said, Eric, I have neglected my work because was so interested in your task. Now l have favor to ask It looks to me there will be wedding in this

kingdom And I want very much to come and bring Mrs. Santa
 But now I must rush home and finish my toys. On next Christmas Day my work will be over for a while. Will you young people sci the wedding for Christmas Day?'
 Eric looked to see what Karin would say and she nodded hel head happily.
 Made New Dress
 After a big banquet in the pal ace the travellers all set out doi their homes to prepare for the wedding on Christmas Day. Eric hurried home to his father and mother.
 Santa was so excited that Mrs Santa sat right down and made herself a new dress for the we'd ding. It was red and it was trimmed with white ermine tails The good gray Queen sent an in- vitation to King Neptune by a sea gull And Eric sent invitations to the three princes of Thuringia.
 They all met that next Christ mas Day at the castle of the good, gray Queen Eric and Karin were married and even the winged horse came to the wedding feast.
 Santa brought the young couple a big bouquet of miStletoe and a silky, white fur lap robe. King Neptune gave them a boat with blue silk sails, and the Queen gave them a coach and l2 white horses to carry. them to Fries kingdom,
 Eric and Karin set out at dusk. Santa followed them in his sleign for a while Before he left them, they heard him shouting, Merry Christmas!"
 That was many, many years ago. Eric and Karin lived to be very cld But Santa is as young as ever. Listen for him tonight. You may hear hlm in the sky shouting, Merry Christmas, one and all
