Gift Recalls Victorian Aoe
Britons Memento Moves Dorothy Thompson
To Gratitude for World of Freedom

AAASAAA SAiSA AoAASa 100 a NAStoA ih
sovereign. a golden guinea, dis
playing the plump Queens regal
profile. One can imagine him,
in his pensioned old age in
war-torn paper and credit world,
showing it to his grandchildren,
and telling them Of that British
world Of his youth.
I do not know what prompted
him to give it way-that SOW
ereign; to take 1t to the Hon. j.
Smedley Crooke, member in the
House of Commons for Birming-
ham and ask him to send it
anonymously to me.
"A present and . souvenir to
Miss Dorothy Thompson" he
wanted the inscription to read,
from an old-age pensioner who
admires the friendship you had
for England in her hour of dis
tress. May your writings
help democracy. God bless
you"
And so, after six weeks have
passed, the sovereign is put into
my hand by an oflicial Of His
Majesty's Government" trans
ferring the Queens profile from
Birmingham to New York.
Moved by Gesture.
I am singularly moved. There
is so much in the gesture. There
is, for instance, gratitude, vir-
tue Of the proud and brave alone;
a rare virtue that more than any
other reveals the superior heart
a reticent and anonymous graft
tude for friendship in an hour
Of distress"
And gratitude for what?
Only for recognition and testi-
mony to a greatness in Britain
that shines through her darkest
hours as clearly as in her bright
est; q recognition Of the spirit
OF June, 1910, that looked into
the abyss, and did not falter,
and that unfaltering still, gazes,
comprehends, and fights on.
There is. in the gesture, some
thing elsa transference. 1t is
as though my old friend said,
Here is a symbol of the pinnacle
Of our power. But the power of
men Of our tongue lies across the
water today"
And he utters word not Victo-
ria's. Democracy" accepting our
world, the world Of the massed
people-Lincoln's world.
I hold the sovereign in my
hand. and my friends gratitude
releases the gratitude in me.
Gratitude for the tongue I speak;
gratitude for the world of free
dom under law; gratitude for the
concept gentle" as applied to a
man, and to power; gratitude for
the stony gaze that glares at
tyranny though the hands are
weakened; gratitude for the
dogged fight that makes death
synonymous with defeat.
And a question is in my mind,
too. Shall We do as well? Not
shall we be- perfect, but just:
Shall We. on the. whole balance.
do as we'll?
My friend sends Victoria to
me-through me to us-Victoria
for Victory. ~..- e-

definite attempt on the part of

had set such high production
rate that workers couldn't meet it,"
He said the company termed the
core-makers temporary employees,
not eligible for representation bv

straighten out this difficulty and to
get the plant operating"
