A New Russian Demand

1t can hardly be a meaningless
coincidence that the Soviet press, at
q moment when the foreign minis
ters of the Big Three are meeting in
Moscow, has suddenly given promi-
nent display to letter by two Rus
sian intellectuals demanding that
180-mile stretch of Turkeys Black
Sea coast be handed over to the
U. S. S. r.
The demand, though not official,
clearly seems to have special signif-
icance, not only because Soviet
newspapers do not deal whimsically
or impulsively with delicate issues of
this sort but also because the timing
involved strongly suggests careful
and purposeful generalization. Com
ing on top of diplomatic pressure for
concessions in the Dardanelles and
for Turkish territory bordering Ar
menia; coming on top, too. of what
has been happening in Northern
Iran, this latest territorial call fits
too well into a pattern to be re-
garded merely as something pub
lished only because some Russian
editors thought their readers would
be interested in it.
In the circumstances, it is bit
difficult to believe that the demand
has come as surprise to Foreign
Commissar Molotov. It is easy, how
ever, to suspect that its publication
has direct bearing on the current
Big Three meeting, but precisely
what the bearing is. exactly what
objectives are linvolved. is a matter
which must remain purely speeula-
tive until officially clarified. The
two intellectuals who, have raised
this issue have raised it solely on
chronological and historical grounds,
though the point can be made that
the territory they seek-extending
southwest of the Russian port of
Batum-has both oil and strategic
security values, as is the case also
with Northern Iran.
The Soviet press now having given
due publicity to the matter, it re-
mains to be seen whether and to
what extent Commissar Molotov will
pursue it at the current Moscow
Conference. Possibly the demand
has been put forward simply as a
bargaining point from which Russia
might readily retreat in exchange
for concessions elsewhere. In any
event, though, considering the over
all pattern OF Soviet claims and the

The Cost Of Apothy
From the Ottawa Journal.

from tine OttaWa journal.
Remains only to ask why France, with
all its past glory, with all its great his
tory, rising often to grandeur, produced,
and gave itself for so long before the
war to the Vaccinations Of scoundrel?
The answer-it is one that carries
moral for every nation-was in public
apathy. Frenchmen, passionate for lib
erty, forgot the truth that freedom,
democracy, involves personal RESPONSE
bility. They were apathetic; indifferent.
The best of them, the older families,
thought themselves too good to mix in
politics. They thought that politics,
government, was some low exercise for
the despised proletariat They per-
mitted scum adyenturers like Pierre
Laval, to rise to the surface. The story
of politics in France in the past half
century, though Lit up occasionally by q
noble figure like Georges Clemenceau,
was evil.

Cemetery at Humm

The United States military ceme-
terry in which General George S.
Patton, junior, is to sleep already
contains all that was mortal of hun
dreds of other American men and
boys who died in the Second World
War. The grave of the late COM
mander of the Third Army is Num-
ber 1884.
Some, perhaps most of the bodies
inferred at Hamm are certain to be
brought home to cities and villages
scattered all over the native land
which the heroic dead died to serve.
The Government has given assur-
ance to the families of the fallen
that the remains of their kin will be
retrieved to rest under American
skies. Yet many will stay where
they are, and it is appropriate that
it should be so. The earth, in which
they lie has been hallowed and con-
secrated by the blood shed for it's
redemption. Fighting was bitter
and hot in that neighborhood less
than a year ago. United States
troops moving into Germany over
the Moselle paid heavy price for
their advance. More than a few
homes in Washington are in mourn
ing this first Christmas of peace be-
cause of those losses. The same is
true of long list of other communi-
ties under the Stars and Stripes.
But the valiant boys and men
whom General Patton is joining to-
day are not abandoned or forgotten
in distant Luxembourg. Their flag
flies over them as it did when they
lived and toiled and fought and
dreamed of peace. Around them
rise hills which are linked with the
high mountain ranges and the broad
plains of continental Europe from
which their ancestors came to estab-
lish liberty in the western world.
In a sense they have carried back
to its source the principles of ira
ditional civilization which are i'm
plicit in the story of Christmas
which just now is being retold with
a new zeal and earnestness. So long
as they sleep at Hamm, they will be
a token of the power of freedom
and righteousness, justice and mercy
to survive in modern times. The
significance of their presence where
they now are is of a kind with that
of their presence on the beaches of
France on D-day.

Carnegie Whitfield nephew and nameSake Of the
late steel master who spiraled out OF her life
in a silver nonoplane seven years ago last april.
Young Whitfield vanished in the sky over
Long Island on an ordinary 20-mile spin from
Roosevelt Field, New York to Brentwood The
search for him stretched all up and down the
Atlantic seacoast and far out to sea-before his
family suddenly abandoned it after y days.
And just as the Whitfelds offered no eXplana-
ton for their decision then, modsh Mrs. Whit
field offers none for hers now.
Her latest legal move, seemingly aimed -
close up the case Of the lOngmissing flier, merely
builds up complication for an old mystery.

solid bloc OF relatives and friends who have stead

Has she at last shelved all hope for his re-
turn? Or is her court action direct challenge 10
her lost husband? Is she now saying 10 him
in the words of the old childrens game-"come
out, come out, wherever you are?'
From purely speculative standpoint there is
room for this alternative.
1t has long been known that Whitheld and
his bride OF less than year had quarrcled before
the 2S-year-od soCiate took off for oblivion, and
Mrs Whitfield has herself admitted he threatened
to fly away from her for good.
Less than two months after his disappearance
she sued for a separation on the ground Of ahap.

USO Does Its Share to Plan
Recreation for Men On Field
During the recent training period
many trips were made to the train

various forms Of recreation.
Twice week movies were sohwn.
Many times the wind was so strong
that the portable screen was torn
apart. The show had to go on,
though, so an improVised screen
fashioned from piece of canvas
was substituted. The Interruptions
didn't .detract from the fun OF the
audience. All of these little things
tended to make it even more en-
ioyable when the picture finally
started. The motion pictures were
shown by Mr. G. Williams of the
USO Staff.
On Friday, the men were really
in for a treat when doughnuts and
cocoa were served before the movie.
Lighting for this occasion was fur
nished by the headlights of the CT
