Behind the Scenes
Behind the scenes at Viggby-
holm is Per Sundberg, the spirit
of the school-a short, suntanned,
quiet man with soft grey hair.
artist-like hands, and a firm, SEN
sitive face. AS he moves serenely
about the school, a smile and a
sympathetic pat on the head of
a small boy or girl, or a brief
word of greeting and commenda-
ton to an older pupil, reveals the
way in which his spirit permeates
the school and helps to create the
atmosphere of right relationships.
Unlike m any other private
schools built around a personality
like this, Viggbyholm recognizes
Sundberg as its chief inspiration,
but not it's sole one. That is a
healthy situation for any institu-
ton, and one which augurs well
for its future and it's impact upon
education generally. For thi 5
means that a truly democratic
spirit rather than a dictatorial
one exists here.

Finland Asks
Admission To
United Nations

LAKE UCCES S, N. Y,
Sept. 20.-Finland, whose peace
treaty with the Allies was ap-
proved only recently, applied
for admission to the United Ma
tions tonight. Finland was the
first to present her application
since the treaty ratification.
The Finnish application was
signed by Carl Enckell, minis
ter of foreign affairs.

The Firms Have
A Way

There is one country in Europe
which is not trying to borrow dol
lars. Instead, Finland is repaying
dollars previously borrowed.
How Finland does this is illu-
strated by a recent news item that
Finnish shipments of woodpulp to
the United States were being in
creased just as rapidly as the
Films could increase them. A sim
pie people, these Firms, they get
dollars merely by producing some
thing for which Americans are
glad to pay dollars.
In contrast, Canada needs dol
lars. The United States would be
glad to pay Canada a great many
dollars for paper if Canada would
produce more. One reason Canada
does not produce more is that one
of the provincial governments pre-
vents the papermills from expand
ing so they could produce more.
There is the Controlled economy
again.
1t is quite true that the con-
tinent of Europe was ravaged and
impoverished by war. Few coun-
tries suffered more than Finland,
twice attacked n d the battle
ground of two dictators. Yet Fin
land does what she does, paying
huge PREPARATIONS to the Russians,
though deprived of a part of her
territory. And in addition pays old
debts.
We wonder whether Europe
needs a Marshall plan or whether
it merely needs more Firms in
key posts. And if any Firms are
left over, we could perhaps use
some in this country too.

In blunt worded telegram to
the Congressman, Justice Stein

consistently ignored the truth, in

He challenged the Congress-

SENATOR PEPPER

The Hebrews are fighting for a
kind of independence and a kind
of recognition which had been
established, first, by the League
of Nations, and, second, by
an AnglO-American investigating
committee.
So it would seem to me that
the facts of the case make it all
the more glazing, for we find that
the British commanders did not
show any mercy to men who were
fighting for their homes and their
families, whereas they did show
mercy to those who caused the
bloody massacre at Rome.

from Palestine informed us, just
before flying back to the Holy
Land, that he learned of our re-
cent remarks concerning the Ha-
poel soccer team. Expecting to be
given another call-down concern
ing our viewpoint we were pleas
antly surprised to learn that he,
too, agreed the Hapoel eleven was
mediocre. In fact, he revealed
that there were few teams play
ing in Palestine today, who were
rated much better than the re-
cent invaders.
A concerted effort will be made
to have Palestine compete in the
1913 Olympics in England. The
political situation will have to
abate considerably before a Pales-
tinian contingent will feel at ease
performing in England.
Art Morse, the Chi Stadium i'm
pressario, was in New York this
past weekend to arrange for the
forthcoming professional season.
Chicago finished second to Phila-
delphia in the playoffs during the
first season of the BAA League.
With the acquisition of Miasek
from Detroit, Morse's five will be
strengthened considerably.
Sid Tanenbaum, the former N.
Y. u, court flash, has been offered
$4,000 by a quintet operating in
the Northwest. How Sid could be
worth that much more money to
a team so far removed from New
York City is beyond us. But,
then, you can never tell what some
basketball people will do when it
comes to signing ball players.
The trend in basketball salaries
this year will be downward and
ten CPS seems like an awful lot
If money to turn down.

Luckman endorsed and returned
same to his alma mater for a

MISHMASH: 1t looks as though
Hank Greenberg has reached the
end of the trail. Greene vOlun-
tarily approached Manager Billy
Herman of the Pirates the other
day and asked to be benched for
the good of the team. Hanks av-
erage has dwindled terribly the
past few weeks to .257 and al
though he hits an occasional home
run he is not driving in enough
runs to warrant regular play. He
revealed to intimates that if it
weren't for his friend Bling
Crosby, part Pirate owner, he
would not have played at all this
summer.
Max Kaminsky, who recently re-
signed as coach of the Pittsburgh
hockey team, has signed as gen.
eral manager of the Philadelphia
sextet in the same circuit. Max
developed a winning six at the
Smoky City but didn't meet with
the approval of the Toronto
Maple Leafs who have a working
agreement with the Harris inter-
ests in Pittsburgh. Under Kam-
insky's regime the Smoky City
club developed a strong Jewish
clientele who helped pack the
Gardens every game.
Dan PerImutter, former City
College slugger, now with the
Stamford BOmbers in the Colonial
League, is numbering the ball at
a 800 clip for 38 games. His
teammate Mickey Winters, nee
Weintraub, is hitting just one
hundred points under Danny and
playing a fine game afield. Max
Goldsmith in the same loop with
New London is bOffing the ball at
.SO1 gait. Among the hurlers
in the circuit Sid Schacht of SIAM
ford is far and away the strikeout
artist. With a record of lis, Sid
has retired 1873 batters via the
StrikeOut route. His games won
mark leads the loop in victories.
After a hiatus of % months
Danny Bartfield has returned to
the ring wars and has been sue
cessful in his first two bouts.
Danny smashed his hand two
years ago and has been resting
up all these months. He should
reach his peak in time to cash in
on the lucrative winter season at
Madison Square Garden.
