SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Sacramento Bee)
Here are some more signs of the times
as recorded by Waverly Root in the Phila-
delphia Record:
Turkey has released % American Army
pilots, seven English and an unspecified
number of Russian airmen who had been
forced down in her territory. Strict
neutrality demanded they be interned for
the duration of the war.
In Bulgaria, the people were ordered
off the streets, but violent anti-Axis riots
occurred in spite of the order, one report
having it that King Boris was so alarmed
he fled
In Finland, Paavo Hynninen has been
appointed secretary general of the for
eign office. He formerly was Finnish
minister to Russia and his advice to his
country has been: Make peace with Rus
sia as soon as you can.
And so the story goes-all pointing to
the increasing belief throughout Europe
that the Axis powers have lost the war.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-05-30

There appears nowhere in the
film any mention that it was Com
munist organizations, under orders
from Moscow, which interfered in
every way possible with our de-
fense preparations and that Vito
Martantonio, consistent Red Front
er, cast one of the few congress
sional votes against conscription.
Ridiculously distorted efforts are
made, in the film-but not in the
book-to create an impression that
Russia is our ally against Japan,
ignoring the fact that only this year
Moscow renewed her non-aggres-
sion pact with Tokyo.
The obvious purpose of the film
is to promote American friendship
toward Russia by hiding and dis
torting facts.
1t Is essential that the United
States and Britain work in close
harmony with Russia in this war
and in the peace to come. 1t is not
essential that the American people
be lulled to sleep, making us do all
the cooperating while Russia makes
the rules.
Conceding the good intentions of
the picture-makers, we think they
have done real disservice to the
cause of democracy.

CUT PHONE CALLS

Sacramento Unlon)
Telephone company officials have ask
ed that those who use the telephone for
long-distance calls limit their conversa-
tion to five minutes over heavily-loaded
lines.
The unprecedented demands on our
communications system have so over
loaded the systems that one must often
wait several hours after placing call
before it is completed.
The overlooking is caused by several
factors. 1t stems from the huge war
time increase in industry which makes
necessary many calls between various
industrial plants in connection with ship
ments of materials and parts.
1t is also caused by the uprooting of
millions of young men and women by
virtue of being enlisted in the military
and production forces, for these people,
far from home. like to keep in touch with
the homefolks and the telephone Is the
most personal method of so doing.
Another cause is military business,
calls between army posts calls from west
calls between army posts, calls from west
other calls pertaining to the military e1-
fort
AS result of these factors, available
lines are now carrying capacity loads
and if the lines are to be utilized to the
greatest extent possible then everyone
must limit the time he uses to the barest
amount necessary.
Everyone who uses the telephone for
long-distance calls should take these
into consideration and do their part in
seeing that all VINO wish to communicate
bv voice cross-county get a fair chance
to do so.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison
The eminent liberal philosopher,

The eminent liberal philosopher,
John Dewey, and Suzanne OF the
Wisconsin La Follettes have taken
the trouble to check the film Mis-
sion to Moscow against former
Ambassador Joseph E. Davies book
OF the same name, on which the
picture supposedly is based.
Their research confirms what
many who have seen the film and
read the book felt, without exert
ing themselves to verify their
suspicious. The picture plays fast
and loose with the book.
This might be of no particular
consequence if the picture were de-
signed as a romance, a drama, a
muSical-anything in the pure en-
tertainment field. Such criticism
would be picayunish if the depar-
lures were technical-Such as often
are required to satisfy screen de-
mands for continuity, cohesion and
conference.
But that is not the case. All the
changes tend toward one obvious
objective, which is achieved by
them. They make the film what
the book was not-in the words OF
Professor Dewey and Miss La Fol-
lette "totalitarian propaganda for
mass consumption propaganda
which falsifies history through dis
tortion, omission or pure invention
Of facts
To mention only a few of the
discrepancies uncovered by the two
critics:
The film, but not the book, shows
Marshal Tukhachevsky being tried
and condemned as conspirator
The marshal, in fact, was executed
secretly, without trial, more than q
year before the film purports tc
have him in court.
The film shows Ambassador
Davies accepting instantly the guilt
of the pure trial victims, though
the book records his concern be-
cause they were denied the ele-
ments of what Americans consider
a fair trial.
The picture shows Moscow as gay
festive and happy. But the book
records "horrifying" terror, with nc
household but lived in fear of "a
nocturnal raid by the secret
police"
The picture shows Stain driver
to his pact with Hitler by Anglo
American appeasement, with nc
reference to our desperate effort.
to conclude a defensive alliance
with Moscow.
Mr.. Davies, back in the Unite6
States, is shown touring the coun.
try, ignoring his poor health, fight
ing isolationism. The fact is tina
the ex-ambassador's swing arount
the circuit was made after Pear
Harbor, when the nation alread,
was united in support of the wa
that had been forced upon us.

EDEIN'S REALISM

pasadena Star-NeWS)
Anthony Eden, British foreign secre-
tary, in his report to the house of COM
mons on the Cairo-Tehran conferences,
placed assurance of British cooperation
in the war until Japan's defeat upon the
practical level of national eXpediency.
1t answers those who have said that
Great Britain will drop out of the war
when Germany is defeated and leave the
United States to fight it out alone in the
Far East, but it does not ask for belief
in British idealism, altruism or even
loyalty and honesty, although the maj
ity of Americans credit Britain with both
loyalty and honesty.
Eden merely says Japan is as much of
a menace to Britain as to the United
States or China, and that Britain is a
principal in the far eastern war because
ito destroy Germany and then make
compromise peace with Japan would
only sow the seeds of third world war"
Forget all of the other pledges and obi-
cations, and still Britain is certain to
go through with the war against japan
until the enemy's surrender because of
vital British interests in thta section of
the globe
