took special notice of the foremen.
They all had a pleasant look and a
kind word for the men subordinate

a new set-up man? Why not have

FINLAND:
RHti Again

A~J w go = 1919
The attention of three strong ma
tions-the United States, Russia
and Germany-centered on Finland
when that small nation reelected
Risto Ryti president, thus extend
ing his tenure in office to March
1, 1945.
Germany hailed Ryti's re-elec-
ton as "plebiscite of the people
approving Finland's foreign policy.
Transocean News Agency report
ing from Helsinki said: "This elec-
ton was a demonstration for Ryti
and his foreign policy, and thus
against the Anglo-America war of
nerves"
Americas attention was drawn
a short time after the balloting by
the college of electors when the
dominant Social Democratic party
council in manifesto urged
friendlier relations between Finland
and the United States. 1t was hoped
in many sources that relations be-
tween the two nations, troubled for
some time, might be smoothed.
Russia looked with sardonic eye
upon the Finnish press which en-
phasized that Finland was inde-
pendent of Germany. One news
paper noted that Finland is
fighting a purely defensive war.
Our alliance with Germany is pure
ly accidental"

In one of the history books
taught for many years in our pub
lie schools we read a quotation
from one of the journals of that
time: about the last of August
(1619) came in a Dutch man-of-
war that sold US 20 Negars." This
was the beginning of African slav-
cry in the English colonies of
America. At that time every lead
ing country in Western Europe
traded in Negroes, and at much
later period the king of England
derived a large income from sell
ing slaves to America.
Page after page of this history
was devoted to the Negro slave
problem but less than one page
was written to tell of the white
people sent over here as slaves.
The following two paragraphs are
quoted from that one page:
WHITE SLAVERY
years before that (1619) many
white people were sent over from
England to be bound out as ap-
prentices to planters for certain
number of years. Part of them
were enterprising young men who
wanted to get start in America,
but, having no money to pay their
passage, bound themselves to work
for the London Company provided
they would bring them over. They
were commonly called indentured
servants or 'indentured appren-
tices" from the indenture or legal
papers which bound them.
In some cases poor children,
picked up on the streets of London,
were sent here to get homes. 9th
ers were kidnapped by scoundrels
who made it their business to de-
coy young men and ship them off
as servants to America. At later
date, when wars and instructions
broke out in England, many pris-
oers taken in battle were sent over
here and sold to planters. Finally,
in one case at least, King James
1st insisted, in spite of the protests
of the colonists on dispatching a
hundred criminals to this country.
Thus many contributed to build up
the new commonwealth"
The term "indenture" is derived
from the custom of tearing a con-
tract in two, leaving serrated edges
that would indent or fit together,
one piece being given to the mas
er and one to the servant, thus
enabling them to identify the con-
tract

fore the Axis can be cleared out
of that front.
Allied communiques told of heavy
fighting in which German tanks
swept into the Allied forward base
at Gafsa, rs miles west of the
Gulf of Gabes, in the southernmost
part of the Tunisian line.
American troops, which had been
holding the place, were under
stood to have retired before the
German advance and to have with
drawn according to plan. The re-
tirement from Gafsa was not COM
pletely unexpected and was expect
ed to strengthen the Allied line in
the districts where strength has
been too thinly spread for safety.
However, better news came when
American tank combat teams
smashed back at Marshal Rom
mel's experienced armored troops
and forced the Nazis back six miles
in the Faid area Of central Tunisia.
This was. the biggest armament
battle of the North African front,
and conducted under an umbrella
of American fighter planes

RETREAT: Usually reliable re-

Nazis are fortifying the Carpa-
THAN mountains in the northeast

the Germans have constructed a

which would indicate that the
Nazis are preparing for a broad

that Mr.. Nathan Is being misquoted

Miss Franken's play is one that
every decent theatergoer would like
to like. 1t is plea for racial toler-
ance which no one will deny is one
OF the desperate needs of our time.
One could hope for it an eloquence
that would sweep away the barriers
which turn neighbor against neigh
Dor and make for misery and mis-
understanding - and sometimes
worse-in the community. But it
does not have anything resembling
the power and eloquence necessary
to the situation. Instead it is con-
fused and pretentious thing and,
after promising first act, lies
right down and dies, making in the
process the worst death-bed
speeches since Edward G. Robinson
died in his last gangster movie 1t
is not the sort of thing Miss
Franken led audiences to expect of
her when she wrote such lively, hu-
man and dramatic things as AN
other Language" and Claudia"
There is no questioning the right
ness Of Miss Franken's feeling, but
there is serious question that she
found the right words, characters
and situations with which to ex-
press it. She starts with a Jewish
family and adds gentiles as she
deems them needed. She tried to
make you see them, and let you
hear them, as just people all of
whom have the typical virtues
and or faults of the species as a
whole. She tries, as we say, and 1t
is very fine thing. but 1t seems
profoundly not to come of at all.

Only scoundrel would tell how 1t

The dialogue of "The Fallen

varied backgrounds. It is at its
most brittle in the exchanges be-

tante, at its most poignant between
him and Miss O'Hara, its most
terrifying and mysterious between
him and strange, invalid creature
who processes to be historian con-
cerned with the progress made in
human torture. Its quality and
variety make pleasant obbligato to
the story's movement. most espe-
cially in those intervals which are
