tive courage that is now being shown
by the United Nations. Russia failed
again and again and again-in the
case Of Ethiopia, of Austria, OF
Czechoslovakia and of China.
Italy, Germany and Japan, each
In It's turn. def1ed the League and
the League gave way. Great Brit
ain and France, dominant powers
in the League, turned tail before the
Axis powers at Geneva. We weren't
even there. In those days-only
eight years ago-we didn't yet be-
lieve in collective security; at least
we had remained aloof from the
League.
Correspondents covering the ses-
sions of the League agreed then
and agree now, in the light of al
that has since happened, that the
one great voice heard at Geneva
was that of Maxim Litvinov, the
Russian, as he pleaded with the del.
egates to stop Mussolini, Hitler ano
the Japanese while it could be done
Some passages from Litvinov's
final speech, made as the British anc
French proceeded with their policy
Of appeasement, make interesting
background for the proceedings al
Hunter College. The following, fol
example:
"At a moment when the mines
are being laid to blow up the organ
ization on which were fixed the
great hopes of our generation, and
which stamped definite character
on the international relations of our
epoch; at moment when, by no
accidental coincident, decisions are
being taken outside the League
which recall to us the international
transactions Of prewar days, and
which are bound to overturn all
present conceptions of international
morality and treaty obliga tions; at
q moment when there Is being
drawn up further list of sacrifices
to the god of aggression with
the sole conclusion that nothing sue.
ceeds like aggression-at such a mo-
ment, every state must define It's
role and its responsibility before its
contemporaries and before history
That is why I must plainly de-
clare here that the Soviet govern
ment bears no responsibility what
soever for the events now taking
place, and for the fatal conse-
quences which may inexorably en-
sue"
And the following:
ITO avoid problematic war to-
day and receive a certain large
scale war tomorroW-moreove at
the price of assuaging the appetites
OF Unsuitable aggressors and of the
destruction or mutilation of sov-
ereign states-is not to act in the
spirit of the Covenant of the League
of Nations.
The Soviet government takes
pride in the fact that 1t has no
part in such a policy, and has in
Variaoly pursued the principles of
the two pacts I have mentioned,
which were approved by nearly
every nation of the world. Nor has
1t any intention of abandoning
them for the future, being con-
vlnced that in present conditions it
Is impossible otherwise to safeguard
genuine peace and genuine in
ternational justice"
The future, of which he spoke
has now arrived. Will Russia ob
don the principles which Litvino,
SAID she never would abandon? Or
Will she, at the cost of her own mo-
mentary humiliation, stand by those

pyramidal tent, for another. I don't
know, but I'd risk a bet that he Is
also the type Of citizen who drinks
out Of the refrigerator water bottle,
ties cans to cats tails, and swipes
ash trays from public places. In
short, a terrible sort.
To meet a pyramidal tent is to
hate it. To put one up is to despise
it. To live in one is to loathe it. To
have one fall down on you (and
pyramidals spend most of their
time waiting for you to turn your
back so they can colapse) is to say
things about the Government which
provided them that border on trea-
son.
Speaks From Experience.
I speak from experience, and tens
Of thousands Of GIs who spent
several years of their lives in and
out under pyramidal tents will agree
with me. The pyramidal was design
ed to accommodate four men un-
comfortably. The average number
Of men assigned to a pyramidal was
eight, and it was not unusual to
find as many as dozen billeted
beneath its waterproof Except
when it rainedD, cool Except when
the sun was shining warm Except
when it was cold, green canvas
roof.
One man was supposed to be able
to erect the pyramidal; to put up
It's towering center pole, spread It's
yards of stiff canvas, etc. Perhaps
there is such a man loose in this
world, but h enever was in the
Army of the United States. III
defy Macarthur or Marshall or
Bradley or any other general to
get one up inside Of years time.
It is a mighty project, like build
ing the Grand Coulee Dam or the
Pentagon Building.
My first experience with this mon
ster was on Bougainville. With the
Old World courtesy that is typical
|of the Army. was greeted upon
my arrival at that fashionable
Pacific resort by top sergeant
whose sole duty it was to make
infantry newcomers feel welcome
After asking me If I liked the
looks of the place, and If I thought
I would be happy during my stay
she led me to an almost impenetrable
part of the jungle and said, This
will be your home. Go to the supply
room and draw pyramidal tent
Others will be moving in with you
soon."
Life in a Tent.
I drew the tent, but one feel of
it, one look at it. and I decided to
wait until the "others" arrived be-
fore trying to put it up. Came the
day when six of us turned the first
bit of earth for our new home. A
scorpion scorped at us from beneath
rotted leaves Lizards watched us
toll and sweat. Finally, the tent
was upright. Then came the rains
Down went the tent. Up went the
tent. Then came the winds. Down
went the tent. For days we lived
with more canvas on top Of us
than Is carried by a three-masted
schooner.
During the daytime, when the
Bougainville sun was at its best, the
tent was one big oven. Tempera-
lures ranged from 100 degrees to
140 degrees. We would take turns
basting one another to keep our
selves evenly cooked.
This country may be in a bad way
for housing, but not bad enough to
house" citizens in pyramidal tents
Better that men live In bird baths
than those canvas nightmares.

Sayings Worth Repeaiing:-
Case Of Mistaken Identity or
Gratitude, American Style

done are enough to make this
country hang its head in shame.
Instead of being grateful to the
young man for serving in the
Army of the United States, he
is denied food and shot to death.
They thought he was an Amer
lean Negro. The error in identi-
fication makes the matter all
the more rotten.
If the man had been an Amer
lean Negro, his death would be
just another injustice in that long
line of brutal incidents that have
been occurring all too frequently
since the war. He would have no
government to demand an in
vestigation. He would have no
protection. That's the treatment
American Negroes have learned
to expect from their country.
Soldiers who have fought for
their country, can't eat in it, if
the restaurant happens to be locat-
ed in that portion of the United
States, that condones and en-
forces segregation.
So excuse us, president of the
Dominican Republic. We didn't
know we were shooting one of
your citizens and your nephew,
we just thought we were killing
one of our own Negroes. whom
we are used to killing with inn
munlty. Detroit Tribune

Claude Sapp, the local FEEDER
al District Attorney in charge of
the prosecution, although assist
ed by a special prosecutor from
the Department of Justice in
Washington, never asked for the
expected conviction, but in his
summation, practically apologize
ed to the jury for having prose-
cuted the case, saying, Il was
only doing my job, and what
ever verdict you gentlemen bring
in, the government will be salts
fled"
The jury did not hear quite
all the story, as the two witnesses
who had been on the bus with
Woodland had not been called.
They heard him when he talked
back to bus driver for swearing
at him when he inquired whether
|, or not he would have time to
go to the rest room at d bus stop.
The bus driver called ahead to
Batesburg and arranged to have
Woodland taken off at that stop.
Consequently, he was charged
with being drunk and disorderly
and was beaten, blinded and
thrown into Jail without a trial
by Sheriff Shull.
AT the trial, the prosecution in
troduced four witnesses Isaac
Woodland, who told his story IN
a straightforward and calm man
ner, a Batesburg white physician
and two Veterans Administration
Hospital doctors who treated
Woodland after the attack. Then
the prosecution rested, failing to
call on the two men who had
seen Woodland arrested.
In his support, Shull produced
three character witnesses, one
of whom was Archie Becham, a
Negro preacher, who testified
that he had known Shull for
twenty years and knew him to
have reputation among the
Colored people OF Batesburg for
being extra fine to them.
In their summation, the defen-
Sc council said, among other
things, "li a decision against the
Y. S. means seeding, then let
South Carolina secede again"

talked back to the bus driver.

Wash Electric Blankets

One manufacturer Of electric
blankets advises washing them by
the same simple soap ard water
method that's good for other blan-
kcts. The reason is that chemical
cleaners would endangcr the lnsu-
lacn Of delicate wires with which
these blankets are iuterlired He
also says that electrical blonkeis
should be washed by hand and rot
in a mechanical washer for fear
that the violent motion Of thr ma
chine might break some of the
wires
