u. 5. Wants Greek Election
AT Earliest Possible Date

Secretary of State Byrnes said to-
day that the United States would
like to see fair and free elections
held in Greece at the earliest prac-
ticable date" but the timing of the
elections is matter for the Greek
government "alone to decide"
Mr.. Byrnes' statement was issued
in response to question at a news
conference asking whether the Greek
elections will take place on March
81 as scheduled.
He said that the American mis-
sion, which with British and French
representatives will observe the
elections in Greece and report on
their fairness, will be ready to carry
out it's function on March 81
He said this Government is in
terested in seeing the elections held
as soon as possible because vital
work of reconstruction in war-torn
Greece can "go forward satisfac-
torily" only after representative
government is established.

Return Of Progressives
To COP Hailed by Morse
By the Associated Press

Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon says Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin will be
able to carry on his fight for the
common men and women" in the
Republican party.
Senator La Toilette and other
Wisconsin Progressives voted Sum-
day to abandon the Progressive
standard and cast their strength
with the Republicans.
''I said last july Senator Morse
declared in statement, that the
Republican party would welcome
Bob La Toilette back into the party
The reaction of many Republicans
on Capitol Hill today overwhelming
ly supports that prediction.
Sound liberalism as an admin
istration policy is dead in the DEM
ocratic party. Political machine
control, vote-catching expediency
and playing both ends against the
middle characterize the politics OF
the Democratic administration.
I'm the Republican party we must
guard against coalition of Repub-
lican and Democratic reactionaries
who believe that the private enter
prise system is synonymous with q
political license to the economic
strong to exploit the economic weak
Bob La Toilette has always stood
against that vicious principle and
hence he can best carry on his fight
for the common men and women in
America in the Republican party"

Churchill Sees Gain
For World if Britain,
u. 5. Walk Together
BY the Associoisd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 1s.-Winstor
Churchill held out the prospect to-
day of America and Great Britain
rendering unprecedented services te
humanity "at this juncture" by
walking forward together with nc
aims of conquest, subjugation - =
or advancement of the sordid in
terests."
The former British Prime Minis
ter after being awarded an honor
ary degree of doctor of laws at Co.
lumbia University yesterday, also
emphasized the Importance of Eng
lish history, and added:
Even Our Communist friends
should study this. They should
study the admirable modern works
on the life and the soul of the white
ant. That will show not only a
great deal about their past, but will
give a very fair indication of their
future"
Mr.. Churchill did not expand on
his allusion.
Ant Quip Explained.
(The ant quip brought this ex-
planation from Dr. Howard E.
Anthony, dean of the scientific
staff of the American Museum of
Natural History:
("The white ant is a termite
and the individual ant has abso-
lutely no say. They all work for
the community and they have
probably been in this communal
fix for millions of years 3" 3 at
dead end. Now it seems to me,
as far as individuals are con-
cerned, that's not a very desir-
able state"
CDR. Maurice A. Bigelow, pro-
fessor of biology at Columbia
from 1903 to 1899, said:
CT presume Mr.. Churchill
meant to indicate the tendencies
OF some nations to force indi-
viduals to work automaticall at
one task, whether they wanted
to or not.
("But the comparison of ami
NAL life, while it makes good
poetry, does not mean much to
scientist. Because an animal
does certain things under certain
conditions is no reason why hu-
man beings should follow.D

taken prisoner by the Germans and
subsequently liberated by the Amer

son, whose parents fed Bolshevik

wounded and was decorated for
bravery by both the French and
the Poles.
He slowed away on a New York
bound vessel after he found he was
unable to work in France because
of the stringent laws against aliens
| there.
| Mrs. Luce introduced evidence
that all three of the men would be
refused entry into France, which
was the last country they were in
before coming to America.
