V. M. Klausucio vardas yra
placiai zinomas. 10 rastai ben
dros politikos ir Lietuvos klau-
simais ne vienam yra pateike
idomiu informaciju ir yra is
aiskine ne viena idomu dalyka.
Todel, be abejo, ir jo paskuti-
niuose dviejuose Amerikos Lie
tuvio numeriuose tilpe strap
sniai apie "Lietuvius ir Sla-
vus" ne vieno buvo skaitomi
dideliu susidomejimu. Pc jo
paskutinio straipsnio Gam. L..
Rugp. 81 buvo padeta pastaba
kad tue klausimu dar bus dau-

reiskiant savo mintis sarysyje
SUI V. M. Klausucio iskeliamu
Lietuviu ir Slavu klausimu,
butu reike dar kick paluketi,
palaukti kol to klausimo nagri-
nejimas bus baigtas. Betgi
mintys kurias tame negrineji-
me iskelia p. Klausutis, yra
tokios netiketos ir aliarmuo-
jancios kad, nelaukiant pabai-
Cos, jau dabar noriu keleta 70
dziu tue klausimu pasakyti.
Pagrindine p. Klausucio ra-
siniu mintis siekia nustatyti
kurie Slavu, Lenkai ar Rusai,
yra Lietuviams "geresni". ST.
tai lis daro CANA idomiu tiks-
lu: su "geresniais" po sio ka-
70 reiksia glaudziau bendra-
darbiauti. Jau sarysyje su
klausimo pastatymu persasi
dvi pastabos. Pirma, Lietuvos
rysiai SUI Slavais, kaip senoji
ir naujoji istorija rodo, Lietu-
val buvo labai nelaimingi. Uz-

Antra, p. Klausutis nedaro

yra budinga jog p. Klausutis,

P. Klausutis CANA vaizdziai
nupasakoja Lenku skriaudas
Lietuvai, pradedamas Vilniaus
uzgrobimu ir baigdamas 1888
metu ultimatumu, CANA smul-
kiai isigilina j Lenku uzsienio
politikos detales, ir tt. Visa
tai labai gerai. Nuostobiausia
betgi yra tai kad apie bolSevi-
kus aprasoma vien tik is ge-
rosios puses ir net nei zodeliu
neuzsimenama apie 1940-1941

THE SITUATION: You have
accepted an invitation as house
guest, and your hostess writes
that a member of the family is
convalescing after an operation,
but to come anyway IL you don't
mind a quiet visit.
WRONG WAY: Write your
hostess that, of course, you don't
mind spending your visit some
what quietly; that, after all, 1t Is
she you want to see.
RIGHT WAY: Write and tell
your hostess you will visit some
other time, since you know 1t

take care of a person recuperat-
