RESIDENT of Santa Ana.

A RESIDENT of Santa Ana.
"A Cal. reminds me I was re-
sponsible for getting that city q
beautiful new railroad station.
The way II happened was this.
For about IS years the citizens
Of Santa Ana had been trying to
get a new station. I passed
through that town on my way
to study plant life in San Diego.
or maybe I was going to the
races at Aqua Caliente. I forget
which. Anyway the next day I
wrote in my column: Passed
through Santa Ana. BY the looks
of tina. railroad station they
should call 1t Shanty Ana"
Those II words did the trick
They seem to get far, under the
skin Of the railroad people.
Shortly after Santa Ana had q
new railroad station.

parents"
A building contractor says q
woman spoke to him about hav.
ing a blue ceiling with inita-
ton stars in it so she could
think she was looking at the
sky when in bed. Sounds silly.
But IL could be done. There Is q
motion picture theater in New
York that has an imitation sky
for a ceiling. 1t is quite realistic.

THESE DAYS

EUROPE is a civilization,
IL way Of life rooted deep in
historical traditions, in the cul-
tures Of Greece and Rome, the
folkways of northern tribes, the
fears of conquest by Asiatic
hordes. the advent of Chris
tianity, the economic and social
characteristics of feudalism in
cluding the state headed by a
king, and the varieties of revo-
buttons aimed 10 destroy the
ancient and to establish some
thing new.
In European history, most
notable changes, social as well
as political and economic, have
been products OF war and revo-
luton.
Americans often ask why il
is that II we in this country OF
5000, 900 square miles can func-
tion as one nation, the Euro
peans are broken up into
numerous states that constantly
war against each other.
The fact Is that since the
Roman Empire, some country
or some ruler has sought 10
unity most OF Europe into a
single unit.
The Holy Roman Empire was
such a conception; the Holy
Alliance was another.
Napoleon's efforts were di-
rected toward a unified Europe
under him, OF course.
Hitler planned to do II.
Every movement of unifca-
tion in Europe has failed be-
cause the European wants 10 be
himself. No Pole wants TO be
a Russian; no German wants TO
be a Pole. No Serbian wants
TO be a Croat.
WE ARE now in new Euro
w pean era the era OF
Stain. Except for verbiage, all
the results of the Crimean con-
ference serve Stain in his
effort TO unity Europe under the
role of Moscow. Let us see
what actually happened there
not in words but in accom-
plishments: y
!. Finland, Latvia, Esthonia
and Lithuania are completely
absorbed by Russia:
2. One.third OF Poland is de-
clared 10 be Russian;
3. The remainder of Poland is
under a Stalinist government
but there is a hocus-pocus pro-
vision for expansion OF the gov
eminent and an election which
is utterly meaningless in the
present circumstances. This
formula involves a public rela-
tions sop 10 satisfy American
public opinion but II 10 without
realistic meaning;
4. Germany is 10 be parti-
toned into four parts, but the
control committee Is 10 meet in
Moscow and will therefore be
under the immediate and pres
sing influence of Stain;
B. No mention is made of re-
ligious freedom or freedom Of
the press or radio. No such
freedoms are possible in Stain
ist Europe;
6. For liberated countries,
Detroit evening times., 1945-02-19

Sokolsky

freedom OF choice an to the
form of government is provided
but a phrase is used which has
become current In recent Com
munist literature, namely
broadly representative Of all
democratic elements in the
population"-which means pre-
cisely that no liberated country
may exclude the anti-demo-
cratic. totalitarian Communist
party;
z. Just as Poland was placed
under Stain. so is Yugoslavia;
8. The Russians have con-
ceded at last joint military OPP
erations but are silent as TO
participation in our war with
Japan. Concerning that. we
must assume that whatever the
facts, they would not be dis
closed at this particular time.
