ADRIAN c. WILLIAMS, the noted pho

the-world trip. One of his assignments
was to obtain films showing how bread
is baked in different lands. On his re-
turn he sent us this story on himself:
NY TREK across India was finished (he
writes). The next day, would sail for
Burma. A few hours before, had made
my final settlement with Abdul, my

mind ran quickly back over the delight
full days of our travels together.

upon my hotel-bedroom door had
seen in him an endless source of good
lecture material, and, without shame.

CRITIC. Parents are frequently harsh
and exacting critics.
Recently we heard Lowell Thomas's
sister make very fine and moving
speech. Her listeners, leaning breath
lessly forward, were visibly moved by
her words. But, meanwhile. her father
kept saying softly, "She ought to do
better than that. She ought to do better
than that"
We have known some other parents
like that, too.
GERMAN FILMS are often used as
propaganda by the Nazis in occupied
Norway - and sometimes with unex-
pected results.
Not long ago they ran film showing
the unloading of German ships at one
of the docks in Oslo. This was supposed
to show that the Germans were bring
ing their own supplies to Norway.
Suddenly man rose in the audience
and shouted, stop! You're running
the film in reverse"
SECOND WIND. Recently we heard
distinguished club president say that
he was too old" to take on any new
project or change in program.
He reminded us of something DR..
Charles w. Eliot, then President of
Harvard University. said when he was
eighty years old: Il am too old to form
new friendships, make new contacts,
or assume new responsibilities" Then
he was challenged to take on a new,
hard job, and he accepted. He lived to
be ninety-three, and after his eightieth
birthday wrote two of the most i'm
portant books of his life.
DOUBLE LIFE. Many a literary man is
leading a double life, professionally
speaking. A fine example of this is
Putnam Fennell Jones, who wrote the
grim but gay little story nightmare
on Wheels" in this issue. With one
half of his mind, so to speak, MIR. Jones
writes popular stories for the best
national magazines; with the other half
he fills the dignifed job of associate

~HREE hundred years ago, in Eng
land, a great struggle was begun
d between King Charles and Par
lament as to who should rule the
nation. 1t was a struggle for liberty
and democracy against tyranny and
oppression but, as is often the case,
at first the big battalions we're all on
tyranny's side.
My part of England, the West Rid
ing of Yorkshire, has always been a
stiff-necked iberty-loving district, and
the stouthearted Yorkshire clothmak-
ers of the l64O's were all for liberty and
self-government As result they suf-
fered cruelty; the town of Bradford
was besieged three times. cannon thun-
dered over the streets, the houses OF
the ordinary citizens fell in hubble or
were stripped of all their valuables by
King Charles's maraudiRg men.
As lie awake at night in Yorkshire
nowadays, and listen to the guns thun-
dering and bombs bringing houses to
the ground with crash, often think
of those old Parliamentarians, and
what they endured for freedom in those
days. And think of what their leader,
Oliver Cromwell, said once when peo-
pie urged him to make premature
peace: IF we would have peace without
worm in it, we must first lay founda-
tons of justice and righteousness. ="
! CAN'T help feeling that Oliver was
right. Whether in public or private
lives, peace which is not founded on
Justice has worm in it, worm that
will presently eat the peace away. If
someone has done you a wrong, and
for the sake of a quiet life you let it pass
and say nothing, there is peace between
you of a kind. But do you really
ever like that person, ever feel at ease
with him again? Do you rejoice when
he has success? Do you grieve when
he has a failure - or do you feel
sneaking glee? That peace has a worm
in it. And similarly when you have
done someone a wrong. and for the
sake of quiet life he lets it pass, do you
ever feel comfortable with him again?
Do you like him to be present on the
happy occasions of your life, or, on the
contrary, does the mere sight of him
ruin the day for you? That kind of
peace has worm in it.
The instinct for justice is one of the
highest and best of all human faculties,
and also one of the most widely spread.
1t is purely human; the animal creation
seems to lack it entirely. Watch some
birds quarreling over titbits on the
ground; one snatches morsel, another
snatches it away, third will snatch it
from both in his sharp beak if he gets
the chance, and no bird will flap wing
to interfere. There is no law of fair play
in the animal creation; no feeling that

the one who has done the work is en-
titled to the spoil. Nature is red in
tooth and claw, all right; in nature he
can keep who can. The cuckoo deposits
her egg in another birds nest and the
resultant offspring kicks the other nest
lings out. There is no warrant issued
against the cuckoo, no judge tries her,
no public posse, even, takes the law
into its own hands and drives her out.
Whereas the biggest human criminal
on earth feels, when he sees somebody
pushing out of his turn in a theater
queue, that it is unjust.
Yes, we humans have an instinct
for Justice. Indeed - and this is my
point, as it was Cromwell's - we can't
be happy unless justice is present.
OURINC the last war when | was

demned his CareleSsness. Instantly the
class burst into an uproar. Astonished,

The class at once subsidized. Those boys
had been simply unable to bear the in
justice of my comment. If had scold-
ed them into silence without rectifying
it, there would have been peace for the
moment, but the worm in it would have
caused continual trouble later.
The past twenty years in Europe
furnish perhaps the most striking exam
pie in all history of this truth. Look at
the Treaty of Versailles. A wormy

longing for revenge which became an
evil obsession; yet because there was
some justice in the resentment at its
root, men hesitated to condemn it, and
50 it grew, Worms breed worms;
revenge leads on to oppression again,
and so again to revenge.
1t is the same in every sphere of life.
International, political. economic or
private, the principle is the same. The
trouble may be a world war or politi-
cal contest or a tiff with our neighbor
oyer blaring radio. In every conflict,
it is natural that ones first desire
should be to win But even in the heat
of battle we should remember also that
victory is empty unless it is followed by
just and lasting peace. Peace with
worm in it leads back to war We must
realize now that, in the years to come,
when this war is over, true security will
lie not in guns and bombers but in JUS
tice and righteousness.

Col. Sweeny, on an inspection tour

control of the Channel. Enemy
planes seldom venture more than a
few miles beyond the British border
and German planes now must base
themselves 25 miles or more inland
from the French coast.
10 to 80 Is Age Range.
With Col SWeeny is Luke Allen,
one of the five original members of
the Eagle Squadron, which is the
all-American unit with the R. A. F.

pilots ranges from 19 to 80.
There are three Fighter Eagle
