MIR. William Randolph Hearst,
San Simeon, California.
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
IN THE face of world disaster,
j we, as a nation, are awakened
TO the meaning of our democracy
and the value of our way Of living.
Patriotism il some thing like re-
Iigion.
We sometimes forget TO pray
when life runs smoothly and hap
PLY; we sometimes forget our
responsibility to our country until
times OF stress.
Yet, when we are Ill or discour-
aged how quickly we turn to the
comfort of our church and our
God And when danger threat
ems our national life. how eagerly
we respond and ask ourselves
what we can do to preserve the
ideals of our country.
1t seems to me that there are
many things we can do, in our
homes and our communities.
We can train ourselves 10 think
clearly and 10 help all the9A
with whom we come in contact to
think clearly.
We can rededicatc ourselves TO
that democracy for which our
ancestors struggled.
We can look TO our schools. our
libraries and our young people.
We can learn what type Of
reading matter is being circulated
In our town and make IL our busi-
ness to see that our children are
nprOvided with sufficient informa-
lon about our American way of
living so that no outside influence
VIII sway their minds towards
false doctrines.
As a people. We are easy-going,
happy go-lucky folks.
In recent years, perhaps. we've
hesitated about talking of our
ideals and traditions. because of
= a foolish fear-fhnf-wr -ruigfIt-br
accused OF flag-waying but
make no mistake about IL.
Now Is the time for all good
Americans to speak up and show
any doubters In our midst that
we're not embarrassed or apollo
getic about the love we have for
our country and our flag and
we're determined 10 protect that
country and that flag.
Let's be proud TO lift our voices
In praise OF America; proud TO
display our coIors and our inten-
tons for all the world 10 witness.
And, II there be any among u
who strive to weaken our purpose
by characferizing this as just
e-,lotionalism, let's remind them
that they may label II 'flagway-
ing" II they care TO. but we call
II by its right name-good, old
fashioned, unadulerated patri-
otism.
Let's advertise America at every
opportunity 80 that everybody will
understand. once and for all, that
we're a. steadfast in purpose a.
were our pioneers OF 1915, that
even as the Liberty Bell rang out
- IS years ago, we intend to see to
that 1t shall ring out always.
We're not interested in peddIers
selling false wares.
We accept no substitutes-for
We know there II no substitute
for our American democracy.

MIAMI. Fla, Feb. 15.-Miss
Marie Mitchell, a young artist who
has been reading about the Krivit-
sky case, told remarkable story
today of how the Stalinist wing of
the Communist Party bounded
her while she was working on the
-WPA art project in New York and
eventually forced her to flee in
terror and make her home in
Florida.
Her story sounded like sinister
tale about the OGPU RUSSIAN
secret police). but she was quite
factual about il. She wanted to
testify before the Dies committee
but didn't ettf1e- chance That
was one of the things. she said,
that put her on the Communist
blacklist.
Gen. Walter G. Krivitsky,
former Soviet spy chief, was
found shot to death last Mon
day in a hotel room only a few
hours after he had gone secretly
TO Washington from New York.
Whether il was murder or sui
eide. Krivitsky's attorney, Louis
Waidman, said. The 0GPU is
responsible for his death.)

FRIENDLY RELATIONS

A communique issued in Berlin
and Belgrade said Hitler. Cvetko-
witch and Cincar-Marcovic dis
cussed questions of mutual interest
in the spirit of the traditional
friendly relations prevailing be-
tween the two countries"
Diplomatic quarters in Belgrade
expected an Italo-German-Y ugo-
slavian nonaggression treaty as a
result of the conference. This
would bind Yugoslavia to passive
neutrality should German troops
strike through Bulgaria against
Greece.
(An Exch ange Telegraph
BRITISH dispatch from Belgrade
said the Yugoslavian government
took special military precautions.
bringing the nation to a full
state of preparedness. 1t added
Hitler served two principal de-
mands upon Yugoslavia: First.
that Belgrade join the German
Italian-Japanese alliance, and
second. that German troops in
Bulgaria obtain access to Yugo-
slavian food and munitions.)

BELGRADE, Feb. 15.-Belief
that Yugoslavia will acquiesce to
the terms laid down by Chancellor
Hitler was expressed today, as
YugosfaVian p m i G r Draglsha
Cvetkovitch and Foreign Minister
Alexander Cinca r-Marcovic re-
turned from their conference with
the fuehrer at Berchtesgaden.
Nevertheless, responsible Bel
grade sources said they thought
that Yugoslavia.- unless unexpect-
eddy attacked. would be able TO
preserve her neutrality. The gov
eminent, however. rushed all pos
sible military precautions for de-
Tense.
A few minutes after their ar
rival in Belgrade aboard special
train, the premier and foreign min
ister went to the royal palace &c
report to Regent Prince Paul.
dispatches from Berlin yes

lined to the Yugoslavian states

expected TO play in coming
Balkan events. The conference

Lisbon more than three weeks en-
deavoring to get passage to
America, so great is the demand
for boat space for war refugees.
It took the couple a week getting
out of Germany to Portugal, to
await their debarkation for this
country.
The couple arrived in New
York and came south on the Sill
yer Meteor and were met at Thai
mann by their local relatives. This
is their first trip to America, and
although reluctant to talk of the
war and conditions in Europe, the
couple expressed themselves as
being supremely happy to be in
American and the privilege of
making their home here with rel
atives. Mr.. WITH was a buyer for
a large store at Hamborn.

THE CHILDREN'S CORNER
By UNCLE CHARLEY

Dear boys and girls:
We in America have every rea-
son to be thankful to God and to
our country for the freedom and
happiness we enjoy here in the
United States. Both as Jews and
as Americans, let us keep in mind
that we live in the greatest DEM
Ocracy in the world.
There is a Jewish independence
Day, too. AS matter of fact,
there are two of them. Let me
explain.
The Bible calls Passover the
Holiday of Liberation because it
was then that we Jews were freed
from Egyptian slavery. When the
Jews, led by Moses, finally came
to Palestine, they made Passover
their independence holiday and
just as early American cOIOnists
began enjoying liberty and happi-
ness after they got their indie
pendence, so did the ancient Is
raeIites find joy and plenty where
there had been naught.
