OF Sudden Conversion.
To the Editor OF The Star:

The strange change in the role plaved
by Russia, effected by fate. from de-
stroyer to defender" of democracy, re-
calls to mind two similar happenings in
history.
A German Emperor, excommunicated
for his prosecutions. was willing to stand
for three days in the snow before the
papal doors in order to regain the good
graces of the church.
Saul, conspicuous as an active perse-
cutor Of Christians, suddenly was con-
verted to Christianity and changed his
name to Paul. Today he is remembered
as the first leader of doctrinal Chris
tianity.

Asks About imprisonment

To the Editor of The Star:

Referring tc the letter of ANGLO

dress to the Federal Bar Association, I
appreciate the generosity of the writer in
revealing the splendid support of her
Indian subjects for Great Britain. 1t
was indeed a revelation to me 70 know
the real strength of Indias army and
navy, her vast production of supplies and
great voluntary contributions of ma
terial gifts to Britains cause.
As free American, I ask anglo

able assistance, are thousands of India's
people kept in jails? Why is one of the

I submit that the Neutrality Act was

Many Americans, including members of
