This Changing WorId-

over Europe. Stain recognized
this when he gave the Free
French movement complete dip
Iomatic recognition 18 months
ago. While Washington and Lon-
don have recognized the Algiers
committee merely as an admin
istrative body Russia has sent
a full-f1edged Ambassador to
Gen. De Gaulle with a staff Of
some 80 persons.
Although he owes his political
existence to the British govern
ment which created the Free
French movement in 1910 Gen.
De Gaulle turned toward the East
because he was convinced that
Russia would be the dominating
power in Europe and only
through collaboration with the
Soviet could Frances empire be
saved.
Preservation of Empire.
The preservation of the en-
pire is Of more interest to the
average Frenchman today than
the political form of government
of postwar France. The crimes
of previous French governments,
together with a 3-year-old period
of starvation and privation, led
most observers to believe that
the Russian form of government
would be most appealing to the
bulk of the French.
Ever since the Allies entered
North Africa, however, there has
been a strong feeling among the
highest French officials, including
many De Gaullists. that the en-
pire will continue to exist only if
France, after the war, gives Brit
ain the right to have air and
naval bases in North Africa and
some of it key colonies such as
Madagascar.
The French hated the thought
but at one time there appeared
no other way out. The argument
put forward to the French lead
ers that the future security of
France depended to a large ex-
tent on the British and hence. the
British should be given air and
naval bases for the defense Of
France seemed logical.
But since Russia obviously has
emerged as the strongest nation
in Europe and Moscow is prepared
to become the champion of
France without any material quid
pro quo the French have now en-
barked on an all-out policy of un-
restricted cooperation with Rus
sia.
While not particularly palatable

Few in Italy Believe

ITALY, Nov. 8-King Victor En-

that a political truce is necessary

political leaders can have a voice

Gen. Douglas Macarthur for the
Republican presidential nomination.
Now, with the results of last Tues
days elections to bother them, Dem
ocrats are talking about the posi-
bility of turning the trend that ap-
pears to have set in against them
and they think maybe Gen. George
c. Marshall should be drafted as
the Democratic presidential NOM
inee.
The suggestion about Gen. Mar
shall has been made publicly by
Senator Edwin johnson, Democrat.
Of Colorado, but he is by no means
the first to have had that thought.
Gen. Marshall's remarkable per-
sonality, his quiet and unostenta-
tious efficiency and his splendid
grasp of world problems apart from
his military knowledge have ap-
pealed so much to folks in Wash
ington that his name has been heard
often in the private conversations
of the politically minded as pos
sible presidential nominee of either
party.
No Political Ambition.
Gen. Marshall himself doubtless is
going to be embarrassed by the pub
lie discussion which the Colorado
Senator has started and the gen.
eral will certainly do everything he
can properly do to squelch it, which
isn't very much, because there is
no law against political conversa-
tion and no way by which a general
can refuse to accept a nomination
that may never be rendered him.
1t is sufficient to say that Gen.
Marshall has no political ambition
and that his greatest desire is to
lead our forces to victory.
Gen. Macarthur is in the same
boat. He, too, has no political am
bition though mfriendly critics have
tried to read something of that kind
into his public statements on wal
matters. Here. too, we have {. mill
tary man of striking personality, but
a man whose name is being used
without the slightest encoura cement
on his part.
Both Gems. Marshall and Mac
Arthur can rest assured that it is
not out of any particular fondness
for them that the booms are beipg
started. Rather it is the effort to
bolster Grooping political fortunes in
each case which sets the gossip
going.
The moment it becames apparent.
for example, to the political leaders
in the Republican ranks that the
tide in their favor is strong enough
to bring victory in 1914 they will
turn to the civilian side for
nominee and the easier the contest
appears to be the less capable man
they will choose. The old saying that
when party victory is assured any,
body can be nominated and win
governed the thinking of the Re-
publican in 1920 and they gave the
Nation Warren Harding.
Still Chief Vote Getter.
The Democrats, on the other hand
are by no means convinced that
they need to give up the magic
charm of the Roosevelt name at the
top of the ticket. Senator Johnson

pearance before masses of peo-
pie, no doubt, as a test of his
popularity.
When the King arrived a few
days ago in Naples, conspicu-
ously riding in an open car, at
tended by considerable entour-
age, and drove through many
streets and quarters of the city,
there were independent observ-
ers, American correspondents, on
hand to record the reception
accorded him by the crowds.
Among them were Homer Bigart,
of the New York Herald Trib-
une, and Herbert L. Matthews
of the New York Times. On Fri
day morning, the Herald Tribune
headlines announced, "Italy's
King Receives Ovation and
the Times announced, King
Finds Public Cool" The head
lines were not more contradic-
tory than the two accounts.
Mr.. Bigart's was the more de-
tailed. He described how the
King looked, who accompanied
him, the route he followed, and
the behavior of the crowds along
the way. do not know whether
Mr.. Bigart followed the King in
an automobile, or whether he re-
ceived the report second hand.
If the whole report is that of
one eyewitness, the correspond
ent himself. he must have been
with the King before his en-
trance into Naples, for he de-
scribes an enthusiastic reception
in the village of Avellino.
Exactitude of Details.
1t is important whether he was
with the King, on this tour, for
If he was not, the exactitude of
the details is such that he must
have received them from some
one who was in the Kings en-
tourage-ergo, from a supporter
of the King.
Mr.. Matthews happened to be
in Count Sforza's apartment
when the King entered the city.
Mr.. Matthews does not give any
definite, first-hand, eyewitness
account at all. He apparently did
a job of post facto reporting-he
describes impressions related to
him by people who did see the
King and his reception. He took
evidence. The evidence was ex-
actly the opposite of Mr.. Bigart's
report. The best Mr.. Matthews
could report at the Kings recep-
ton was that some people may
have cheereG, though most were
indifferent, and the worst was
that one man declared he ought
to share death with Mussolini.

ticed that the brilliant light had
divided itself into two smaller
parable lights. Then 1 discovered
what it was.
That brilliant light which 1 had
first seen was the light of the late
afternoon sun being reflected from
a pair of supper windows of a farm
house.
We were abreast of the house
now and 1 could see it plainly. 1
was surprised to ntice that it had
been abandoned.
Many years ago it was perhaps
erected by young man just start
ing out in life with his happy bride.
There, as the years passed, their
family grew and then started out
in life for themselves. Now, even
that once young man and his happy
bride were gone.
All that remained of this once
happy home was this old empty
shell. Time had gnawed the paint
from the weatherboards. The
storms had carried away the doors.
Yet deserted and delapidated as it
was, there it stood that afternoon a
brilliant beacon, ablaze with the
CORY of the sun.
Somehow, as I passed it, that old
house seemed to say to me: eyes,
my life is gone. There's not much
left of me anymore, yet once each
day 1 radiate brilliance to all who
pass by"
Then there rose in my heart an
unspoken prayer: 20 Lord" I
thought, Should 1 ever become like
an old abandoned house by the side
of road, may 1 too be radiant
with glory that comes from the
Source of all light"
