Russians will not have one world,
then there will be two"
Russion reaction to all this has
been of the standard brand variety.
The best known Soviet publicist.
Ilya Ehrenburg, denounced the
Greek loan on the grounds that we
have refused to send food TO Yugo-
slavia, country which Ehrenburg
described as a staunch enemy of
Fascism. What Shrenburg did not
point out was that we were sending
food to Yugoslavia and were plan
ming to increase our aid, when Mar
shall Tito's fighter planes shot down
American transports which had
been blown off course. The Yugo-
slavian governments apologies were
f-hearted in the extreme. And
Yugoslavia is a key state In the
Russian sphere of influence.
One telling argument against the
form of the Greek aid measure is
that it short-circuits the United
Nations Organization, and thus
makes it appear as if the UNO is
a failure. Some observers are be-
coming convinced that the UNO may
be exactly that. It is serving a
purpose as a fact-finding and de-
batting group. But it has little real
power, save that of persuasion
and persuasion doesn't do much
good these days.
A peace treaty for Germany,
which is vital to postwar organi-
cation. seems farther away than
ever. The statesmen haven't even
been able to write one for little
Austria. There is no way we can
meet the Russian demands without
from fundamental prin-

ly unique comedy, with dramatic
.oVertones. Harry Segall, author OF
the famous, Here Comes Mr.. Jor-
dan" film which received the AGA
denny Award of 1910, wrote the orr
6inal story for the Rogers produc-
ton. Paul MUM, an Academy
Award winner on his own account,
stars in the film with lovely Anne
Baxter ana Claude Rains.
The story takes US to Hades where
Rains, playing the Devil himself, is
Infatuated by the dearth of new re-
cruits. Then along comes Mum, an
eX-gangster VINO has been done in
by his former pal He, too, is fur
ious because now he thinks he can
never get even. But the Devil is d
willy soul. and matches up a bril-
liant plot whereby he can gain new
recruits and the gangster can
evenge himself The plan brings
these two tortured souls back to
earth with the gangster's soul
placed in the living form of kind
ly judge, whom the Devil wants to
master From this point on, the ac-
ton is intriguingly different, anus
ing and dramatic in rapid turn.
MUM plays the dual role OF judge
and gangster, with Anne Baxter
as well as beautiful as the
formers secretary fiancee.
The cast includes such fine play
ers as Onslow Stevens, Hardie Al
bright, Marion Martin and George
Clavaland

UNITED WE STAND

Henry Wallace's tour of Europe
which consisted of a series of add
resSes highly critical of United
States foreign policy, may have con-
WINGED some unknowing Europeans
that a serious rift exists in this
country over just what our attitude
toward the international problems
ct today should be. But that rift
is not observable to any great ex-
tent. Judging by the various pub
lie opinion polls, as well as by the
attitude of the American press, Mr..
Wallace is the leader of small,

IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM

Freedom is always destroyed in
the name of freedom
This is one of the tragic lessons
found in the bloody history of the
modern world. Mussolini invented
Fascism in the name of liberty for
the Italian people-and promptly
enslaved them in the police state
he created. Hitler came to power
with a rallying cry of greater
German rights and liberties-and
embarked upon an unparalleled reign

was far too great for any iritli-
Fvidual, or even any single State,
to provide the requisite millions.
President Barbicane undertook,
despite Of the matter being q
purely American affair, to render
it one Of universal interest, and
to request the financial co-operA-
tion. of all peoples. II was, he
maiht aimed, the right and duty of
the whole earth to interfere in
the affairs OF its. satellite. The
subscription opened at Baltimore
extended hprOperly to the whole
world-UTbi ct orb. y.
This subscription was success
full beyond all expectation: not
withstanding that it was a ques-
ton not Of lending but Of giving
the money. It was a purely disin-
terested operation in the strictest
sense of the term, and offered not
the slightest chance Of profit.
The effect. however, Of Barbi-

AS for the observatory at Green
witch, seconded as it was by the
twenty-five astronomical estab-
lishments Of Great Britain, it spoke
plainly enough. It boldly denied
the possibility of success, and
pronounced in favor Of the theO-
ries of Captain Nicholl. But this
was nothing more than mere Eng
lish jealousy.
On the 9th Of October Presi-
dent Barbicane published a mani-
festo full of enthusiasm, in which
he made an appeal to "all persons
of good will upon the face Of the

into all languages, met with inn

nNt question yet remained to
~ be decided; il was necessary
20 choose q favorable spot for the
experiment. According to the adj
vice AZ the Observatory Of Cam
bridge. the gun must be fred per-
pendicularly to the plane OF the
horizon, that is to say, toward the
zenith. Now the moon does not
traverse the zenith, except in
places situated between o. and 20
0f latitude. 1t became, then.
necessary to determine exactly
that spot on the globe where the
immense Columbiad should be
cast :
On the 10th Of October, at a
general meeting Of the Gun Club,
Barbicane produced q magnificent
map Of the United States. "Gen-
tlemen," said he, in opening the
discussion, II presume that we
are all agreed that this experiment
cannot and ought not to be tried
anywhere but within the limits
Of the soil of the Union. Now, by
good fortune, certain frontiers of
the United States extend down
ward Is far as the 18th parallel
Of the north. latitude. If you will
cast your eye over this map, you
will see that ehave at our dis
p0sal the whole of the southern
portion Of Texas and Florida"
II was finally agreed, then. that
the Columbiad must be cast on
the soil Of either Texas or Florida.
The result, however, Of this de-
cision was to create a rivalry en-
tirely without precedent between
the different towns of these two
States.
Scarcely was the decision
known, when the Texan and
Fl0ridan deputies arrived at Bal
timore in an incredibly short
space of, time. From that very
moment President Barbicane and
the influential members of the
Gun Club were besieged day and
night by formidable claims.
The rival parties promenaded
the streets with arms in their
hands; and at every occasion of
their meeting a collision was to
be apprehended which might
have been attended with disas-
trous results. Happily the prud-
ence and address of President
Barbicane averted the danger.
President Barbicane knew not

which way to hook. Notes, docu-
ments, letters full Of menaces
showered down upon his house.
Which side ought he to take? As
regarded the appropriation OF the
soil, the facility of communica-
ton, the rapidity Of transport, the
claims of both States were evenly
balanced. As for political prepos-
sessions. they had nothing to do
with the question.
This dead block had existed for
some little time. when Barbicane
resolved to get rid Of it at once.
He called a meeting Of his col
leagues, and laid before them q
proposition which, it will be seen,
was profoundly sagacious.
ION carefully considering" he
said, what is going on now be-
tween Florida and Texas, it is
clear that the same difficulties
will recur with all the towns OF
the favored State. The rivalry
will descend from State to city,
and so on downward. Now Texas
possesses eleven towns within the
prescribed conditions, which will
further dispute the honor and
create us new enemies, while
Florida has only one. / 60 in,
therefore, for Florida and Tampa
Town."
This decision, on being made
known, utterly crushed the Texan
deputies. Seized with an indie
scribable fury, they addressed
threatening letters to the different
members of the Gun Club by
name. The magistrates had but
one course to take, and they took
it. They chartered a special
train, forced the Texans into it
whether they would or no: and
they quilted the city with a speed
of thirty miles an hour. 4 e +
Quickly, however, as they were
despatched, they found time to
hurl one last and bitter sarcasm
at their adversaries. II,
Abiding to the extent OF
Florida, a mere peninsula con-
fined between two seas, they pre-
tended that it could never sustain
the shock of the discharge. and
that it would "bust up" at the
very first shot.
"Very well, let it bust up!" re-
piled the Floridans, with a brew
ity of the days of ancient Sparta.
