Help to Russia

The Red Arnly's mighty offensive
against Germany will reflect glory
on the Russian soldier for as long as
history is written, but there are some
honors in it for America, too. In
more than a little measure, the tools
with which the great Soviet forces
are pounding their way to Berlin
the planes, the guns, the trucks, even
the boots of the infantrymen-come
from these shores, making our role
on the eastern front substantial
one, no matter how indirect.
According to Leo T. Crowley, head
of the Foreign Economic Admins
tration, our share in the equipping
of Russian troops is small in relation
to their total needs, but it is never
theless supplementing their coun-
try's production and resources to a
degree important enough to make
Itself felt everywhere along the line
from the Baltic to Silesia Thus. our
shipments of finished munitions to
the Soviet Union up to last Novem-
ber 10 have included 5000 tanks,
1900 self-propelled guns, and 12,200
aircraft, "the largest ALLEGATION of
planes to any individual nation on
our entire lease-lend program"
Equally important especially now
that the Soviet lines of supply are
so extended-is our contribution to
Russia in the field of transportation.
In addition to hundreds of thousands
of tons of steel for rail lines. wheels
and axleS, we have sent to the Soviet
Union 1,045 locomotives and 331 900
motor vehicles, including 45, 600 jeeps.
On some fronts, says Mr.. Crowley,
our trucks are carrying more than
half the supplies now being used by
the Russians. Under lease-lend,
moreover, to help the Soviet Unions
vital war production and to ease its
gigantic needs for troop equipment,
we have sent to it over 100000 tons Of
ferro alloys and nonferrous metals,
100000 tons of petroleum products,
$4,000 tons of chemicals, 1900, 900
pairs of army boots and 205. .000, 900
yards of cotton cloth, woolen cloth
and webbing.
These statistics, as Mr.. Crowley
emphasizes. represent only a minor
fraction of what Russia itself has
done, but we can take pride in them
as a measure Of how our war plants
wholly apart from Allied forces in
the west-have lent support to the
Red Army. That magnificent army,
Of course, is winning its immense
victories primarily because OF the
brilliance Of its leadership and the

Note to Mr.. PetrilIo

The fact that a labor ofiicial has
denounced the tactics employed by
James c. Petrillo, president Of the
American Federation OF Musicians,
as "antisocial and despotic" can
hardly be entirely lacking in
significance.
To be sure, the criticism came from
a member of a rival labor group
]. Raymond Walsh, economist Of the
Congress of Industrial Organizations.
And he was expressing his own views,
not necessarily those of the CIO.
But despite these qualifications, Mr..
Walsh's comment is a hopeful sign
that some labor elements realize that
union dictators of the Petrillo stamp
are overplaying their cards.
Mr.. Walsh said that the Petrillo
ban on the National Music Camp at
Interlochen, Michigan, is disgrace
full" and also accused the musicians
union head of levying tribute on the
public in imposing a union fee on
the making of records. This conduct,
Mr.. Walsh declared, "is antisocial
and despotic. The entire labor
movement suffers from this dis
graceful use of power, and should try
to put Mr.. Petrillo in his place"
Even if other labor leaders were
to join forces with Mr.. Walsh, the
chances are that they alone could
not put Mr.. Petrillo in his place" "
for he is law unto himself and can
do just about as he pleases. But a
concerted labor protest against the
Petrillo brand of union leadership
might have beneficial effect on
those political figures who are ever
ready to do battle with business
monopolists, but who seem curiously
incapable of uttering a word of pro-
test against the Petrillos of the coun-
try. Antisocial conduct remains
the same, however, whether prac-
ticed by a big business" man or a
dictatorial labor leader, and if other
responsible union officials were to
follow the example set by Mr.. Walsh
the political champions of the little
man might find it as expedient to
cross swords with Mr.. Petrillo as
with Wall Street and the cor
porations. Stranger things have
happened.

Pontus Euxinus

The Black Sea was historic at
period when Western Europe was an
uninhabited wilderness and America
undiscovered. Known originally to
the ancients as "The Inhospitable"
because OF the alleged savage char
acter of the peoples dwelling on it's
coasts as we'll as because of the sup
posed terrors OF its navigation, it
gradually became familiar as "The
Hospitable' as more intimate ac-
quaintance with it developed. Many
colonies and commercial stations
were established along its shores by
the Greeks, especially the residents
of Miletus. The name "Pontus Euxi-
nus" occurs again and again in the
surviving literature of the Hellenic
race.
Naturally, it was the western and
southern sides of the great inland
body OF water that earliest were ex-
plored from the Mediterranean. The
Bosphorus was one gateway, the
Danube another. But human move
ments along the courses of the
Dnestr, the Bug, the Dnepr, the
Don and the Kuban occurred at
dates very remote. Perhaps the same
observation applies to the Sakaria
and the Kizil Irmak and lesser
streams flowing north out of Asiatic
Turkey. In any case, the whole
tremendous Black Sea area-esti-
mated at nearly two hundred thou
sand square miles-was crossed and
recrossed repeatedly by tribes. even
by entire nations on the march dur
ing ten or dozen centuries. Jason
sailed to Colchis. now called Georgia,
in quest of the Golden Fleece. His
example was followed by traders
and merchants innumerable through
classic and medieval times. The
growth of Constantinople as the
capital of the Eastern empire in
evitably stimulated interest and
traffic.
But the Turks excluded all ships
save their own from 1853 onward
until l774, when Russia was conceded
commercial rights which aroused the
|. jealousy of Austria, France and
Great Britain This contention
brought on the Crimean War, after
which, under the Treaty Of Paris, the
Black Sea was neutralized for a
while. Argument, however, continued
down to the outbreak of the First
World War. The basic question was
and still remains-the control of
the narrow channel from the Aegean.
Meanwhile, Russian strength along
the north and east coasts steadily
has increased within the memory Of
living men. Odessa, Kherson, Nico-
laiev, Sebastopol, Novorossisk and
many other ports have prospered
despite the setbacks Of German at
tacks. Recently. the Soviets have

Among the new and largely distaste-

The first of1cial communique con.
corning the meeting Of the Big Three
In the Black Sea area Is interpreted by
those accustomed to reading between
the lines to mean that Premier Stain
has presented his two colleagues with
the proposal that the Free Germany
Committee which he organized In Mos
COW may be used at q given moment
as the provisional government Of the
Reich.
This indication is contained In the
sentence: There Is a complete agree
ment for joint military operations in
the ANAL phase Of the war against Na1
Germany =" It is the first definite
indication that President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill have agreed
to separate the German peoples them
selves from the Germans who are the
followers of Hitler and belong to the
Nazi gang
The communique signed by the Big
Three on December l, 1913, at Teheran
spoke about the Germans as. whole
In the preamble the heads OF the
principal members Of the great coalition
against the totalitarians said "As to the
war we have concerted our
plans for the destruction OF the Ger
man forces" In that communique
there was no differentiation between the
Nazis and the other Germans. It fur
ther added. mo power on earth can
prevent our destroying the German
armies by land, their U-boats by sea
and their war plants from the air.

The representatives of the u. s. s. r..

For Two.Term Amendment

To the Editor of The Star:
In the recent election campaign for the
presidency, Thomas E.. Dewey came cat
forthrightly for constitutional amend
ment limiting the Office of President of
the United States to two terms. This
was good move and one that should be
followed up. We need now to imple-
ment this wise suggestion with organized
action. The amendment will not secure
itself omatically. We must work and
work hard for it.
AS I see it, we need some sort of a
political action committee to take hold
of this fight and carry it through. A
national committee should head UP this
fight under the leadership of vigorous
chairman. From the national COM
mittee should come the setting up OF
State and local committees to carry
this fight into every community in the
Nation
One aim of the local committees
should be to sign up 40 to so million
voters in favor Of such a two-term
amendment. This petition then should
be taken to Congress and presented to
our lawmakers with the great force of
public opinion behind 1t. From that on
we must agitate for more action until
we get the amendment before every
State legislature.
George Washington set the two-term
precedent, and we should follow his good
advice and make the two-term prece-
dent law of the land. I hope that
Thomas E. Dewey will continue the
good fight and help bring the Nation
back to sanity and common sense

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

We are told that plans for Germany
are in the making at the conference
being held by Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stain. The first step in planning must
be to eliminate contradictions. A purpose
must be set, the means for achieving it
must be provided and emotional aberra
tions must be suppressed. For emotions
go i'll with planning. No one needs a
plan to keep on being mad.
Now, certain purposes are incom-
patible. You can have reparations. but

Urges Crusade Against Cursins

To the Editor Of The Star:
It seems that the use Of profanity
has spread at an alarming rate in our
country Wherever one goes, not many
words are heard that are not punc-
tuated with oaths. Persons in high
places as well as those In low stations
in life, In private or public, on the
stage and in the press, even in the home
and in the school, fiuently engage in the
practice.
Surely, this condition should be the
cause of deep concern by all right
minded people and efforts should be
made to bring America back to be q
nation Of clean-mouthed people.
It seems untenable that so-called
Christian nation should have the face
to pray for Gods blessings while en-
gagged In the desecration Of His holy
name. EDWARD N. JANSON.

Other Canadian Poets Published

To the Editor of The Star:
The literature of Canada is all too
little known in the United States; but
a statement as appeared in the book
page of The Star for February con-
cerning the young Canadian poet, Ralph
Gustafson, a columnist in The Star
wrote: "Gustafson is the first Canadian
poet whose work has been published
in this country"
Canadian poets have been published
in this country at least since the bal
lads of Robert Service and the lyrics
of Bliss Carman first appeared nearly
half a century ago.
The University of Chicago Press in
1943 published an excellent collection,
"The Book of Canadian Poetry; a
Critical and Historical Anthology" ably
edited by the Canadian poet, A. j..
M. Smith. Last year a volume of Mr..
Smiths own poetry, under the title
News of the Phoenix" was published
In New York by Coward -McCann.
Among other notable volumes of Cana
dian poetry recently published in the
United States are DAY and Night" by
Dorothy Livesay and "The Hitleriad'
by A. NJ Klein.
One of the finest volumes of Canadian
poetry published in the United States
in the past few years is "Brebeuf and
His Brethren" by E. j. Pratt, a long
poem on the Jesuit martyrs of Canada.
Mr.. Pratt is one Of the most distin-
guished poets in English, and the publi-
cation of his Collected Poems" in the
spring of 1945 by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc,
of New York, will be a literary event
which will provide an opportunity to
many American readers to become
familiar with his work.

Methodists
to Complete
Structure

ROSEVILLE - A cultural
contribution to the Roseville
community will be launched
early in 1946, in the completion
of the new Trinity Methodist
Church, whose foundations were
laid in 1925.
Decision to complete the
structure was made at Congre-
CATION meeting on Nov. 7, with
Rev. Sidney D. Eva, D. D., and
Rev. Adolph Halmhuber assist
ing the pastor, Rev. M. l. john
son is conducting the meeting.
Rev. Johnson, who has served
the Roseville church for the past
seven years, announced that the
membership has now grown to
500. The pastors wife, who has
worked faithfully with him in
building up the thriving church
membership, is a direct descen-
dant of Charles Wesley.
The first Methodist Society of
Roseville was organized in the
summer of 1923. About dozen
families formed the new congre-
CATION. In the autumn of that
year the Rev. Simon Schofield
was appointed pastor OF. the new
church, and fine church with a
flourishing congregation soon
came ipto being.
A tragic blow befell the con-
gregation short time later
when their sacrifices were
wiped out by a fire which des.
troyed the church in the week
before it was to be dedicated.
There was insufficient insur-
ance to cover the loss, and the
courageous congregation renew
ed its start to erect a proper and
beautiful church a projec.
now nearing fruition.
The basement of the new edi-
flee was constructed in 1925,
and the indebtedness cleared up.
Progress was retarded by the
depression of the early 1905
and the congregations present

the new church Is an achieve
ment based on sacrifice.
