The Aqu Khan

Many persons have been worth
their weight in gold. But The Aga
Khan probably is the only individual
of whom it truly can be said that he
is worth his weight in diamonds.
At least, he seems to be the only
man thus far actually paid tribute
in crystalized carbon. The 1smailiah
Mohammedans of East Africa, Cen
trail Asia and India on Sunday gave
him the equivalent of his solid two
hundred and forty three pounds and
eight ounces in pure white gems,
priced at approximately two million
two hundred thousand dollars. AL
ready possessed Of enormous wealth,
be accepted the gift only to devote
it to his numerous charities.
The Aga Khan at first glance does
not appear to be very notably
religious character. He looks and
generally acts the part of multi
millionaire playboy. But that is just
a performance that he puts on more
or less as hobby. It pleases him to
visit night clubs in Paris and Lon
don, to give big parties, to maintain
expensive stables and have his
horses win prizes on the best tracks
in Europe. He plays golf and poker,
drives fast motor cars, wears gaudy
clothing, enjoys having a reputation
as lady-killer. On the other hand
when it suits him to be serious, he
writes books on diplomacy, states
manship, economics, social reform
and education. He was graduated
at Cambridge and is the founder OF
the Moslem University at Aligarh
In recognition of his loyal services
to the British Empire during the
First World War, he is entitled tt
q salute of eleven guns. He served
on the Viceroy's Council between
IL and 1904 and was the leader oil
the Indian delegation in the League

Dead or Sleepin6

To the Editor of The Star:
This town got quite excited a year or
so ago; its forums were ignited and
sparks began to glow. A stadium would
soon be ours to do the Nation proud;
twould satisfy the greatest pow'rs and
handle any crowd.

Trade, both worked with tongue and
quill; supporters formed grand parade
and marched upon "the Hill" En-
thusiasm ran apace throughout this
wondrous city when Congress, with ap-
proving grace, appointed committee.
Arena plans were studied from the
Golden Gate to Maine, but then the wa
tiers muddied and the scheme slid down
the drain. Will the project stay aborn-

Provdu's Reply

If there is anything surprising
about the reply to Winston Church.
ills speech at Fulton, Missouri, which
has come from the Moscow news
paper, Pravda, official organ of the
Soviet Communist party, it is the
comprehensive manner in which the
subject has been treated.
Tie Russian press paid little at
tention to the recent addresses by
Senator Vandenberg and Secretary
Byrnes, both of which should have
been of vital interest to the Soviet
people. But the Pravda editorial
dealt at length with what Mr..
Churchill had said, and both the
editorial and the Churchill speech
were distributed widely in Russia.
Thus, there is at least some gain
in the fact that the deterioration
in relations among the Big Three
has been brought to the notice OF
the people of Russia.
Pravda says that the formation of
an alliance between the United
States and Britain along the lines
advocated by Mr.. Churchill would
be aimed at Russia, and would result
both in the liquidation of the coali-
ton of the three great powers and
the liquidation of the United Nations
Organization. There is no doubt
that this is true, for it is idle to
suppose that any kind of Big Three
coalition could be maintained or
that the UNO could function effec-
lively if the worlds power were to
be divided into two camps, one
dominated by an Anglo-American
alliance and the other by the
U. S. S. R.
This Is a statement Of the case,
however, which serves only to define
more sharply the nature of the
question which confronts us. No
reasonable person will doubt that
the United States and Britain want
to operate within the framework of
the UNO. But they can hardly be
expected to look for their national
security to an organization which
depends for its effectiveness on the
friendly cooperation of all three of
the big powers if one of these
Russia-will not cooperate.
What is deeply disturbing in our
present situation are the indications
of a Soviet purpose to extend their
influence and increase their power
by unilateral acts which mock the
principles upon which the UNO must
stand. And there is very little in
the Pravda statement to reassure
one on this point.
The editorial does accuse Mr.
Churchill of shaking the "scarecrow"
of Bolshevik danger and Bolshevik
expansion. But this is the finsiest
sort of verbal reinsurance as to
Russian intentions, and even strong
language to this effect would not be
enough. If we have learned any
thing in recent years, it is that
nations must be judged by what they
do, not by what they say. And it
is essential that the Russians be
made to understand that the rela-
tionship implicit in the Big Three
coalition and in the UNO, for which
they profess a real regard, will con-
tinue to deteriorate as long as they
pursue policies that are inconsistent
with the basic principles of collec-

nels. Police of other Jurisdictions
have noticed similar trends. Tighten
ing of Federal and local controls over
traffic in guns should help to reduce
the dangers implicit in this situa-
ton. AS matter of protection
as well as good citizenship law
abiding citizens should cooperate
intellectually in the gun-registra-
ton program.

Quotes Herrick in Lent

To the Editor Of The Star:
Ash Wednesday opened for countless
thousands a season of devout fasting
and sacrifice. For some persons it
means merely cessation of social &C
uvities, but to others it means nothing
at all. To Robert Herrick, poet, born
in the year 1891. philosophic thought
came that each of us-religious or
otherwise-might seriously ponder. He
called his poem, ITO Keep True Lent"
1t follows:
Is this a tdSt, to keep
The Idrder le1ne and cLedne
From tdt OF Uedles and sheep?
Is it to quit the dish
OF flesh, get still to NIL
The platter high NTH fsh7
Is it to fast an houre,
or ragged 90, or sho,D
A doUncast look, and SQUIRE?
No: 'tis a fast, to dole
Thy sheat OF Dheut, and meat,
Unto the hungry soule.
1t is to fast from, strife;
from Ot1 0eOdte, ana nate,
To circunlcise thy life.
To sho,O a heart grief-rent;:
To starDe thy sin, not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent
Any one who is observant readily can
see that there are persons in this world
who are very punctilious in keeping
doctrinal rules and regulations, because
they sincerely believe that in so doing
they will save their souls; while others
are so busily engaged in performing
good works for the benefit of mankind
that they are not concerned about theil
own spiritual survival There is ne
need, for goodness of heart is in Itself
an elevation of the soul.

And takes it NTH hin, everywhere,

AIMED Baritone
Appears Here in
Concert Series

Walter Cassel, famed American
baritone, is the artist to be pre-
sented in the final program Of
the KenneWick-Pasco concert Sc

auditorium on Tuesday, March
Is. Many people heard Cassell
in an appearance in the desert
Song" when it toured the country
last fall.
Walter Cassel Is a tall, blond
sturdy son Of the soil with q bar
itone voice that thrills. Some
years back he lived in a small
town in Iowa and played q hot
trumpet in a swing band in or
der to pay for his singing lessons.
One day Lawrence Tibet
heard him sing and encouraged
him to continue his studies. That
decided him. Then he knew he
must follow his career In the
classical field. His goal-radio,
the concert stage and grand OPP
era.
He worked hard to save enough
and then decided 10 try his luck
in New York. To cut expenses
he Travelled for two weeks work
ing and sleeping on . cattle train.
The night he arrived, he rushed
right to the Me4ropolitan Opera
House to pick up the ticket. Tib-

Thus, IN The m16dle Of fte BE-

excited country boy. Though he
was used to e and % did not
notice it, the sensitive nogtrils
Of the nearby audience rebelled
against the aroma Of his bovine
charges which chung to the work
clothes he still wore. They LEFT
quickly, leaving him surrounded
by q score Of empty seats.
Recently he returned to the
Metropolitan Opera House, this
time to make his debut IN Grand
opera before IN audience that
cheered him long after the final
curtain.
After the performance, the
same blue-blooded elite which
had SHE'D away from him at his
first visit, now crowded every
available bit Of space In his dress
ing room. They couldn't get
close enough to shake his hand
and pat the back OF the country
