newspaper interviews, suggest that
when a man clearly indicates that
he would prefer to be spared further
questions, his wishes should be re-
spected.
Recently there has been much
speculation as to the possible can
didacy of Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover for President on the Repub-
lican ticket. At the same time
there are Democrats who would give
their eye teeth, store or otherwise
If there were a chance that Gen
Eisenhower might be persuaded to
overbalance the Democratic ticket
by conserving to run for Vice Presi-
dent with Mr.. Truman. And SO q
few days ago at a press conference
the news hounds bayed questions
"ad lib" at the beleaguered general.
They were not satisfied with his
clearly stated position that he is not
candidate, that he deplores the
formation of Eisenhower-for- -Presi-
dent clubs, that he does not know
who the organizers Of such clubs
are, and that he would not be a
party to conniving at his own nomi-
nation.
Harrying Went Too Far.
Obviously, Gen. Eisenhower went
pretty far in indicating that he
did not want to go any farther. At
this point 1t seems to me that he
was entitled to be let alone. But
he was not. He was asked bluntly
whether he would run If nominated,
to which question, in the exercise
of a prerogative that was undoubt-
edly his, he made no reply. 1t
seems that we have reached a point
where no one can be counted out
as a possible candidate for President
unless he uses the formula origi-
mated by Gen. William Tecumseh
Sherman in 1884 when he declared,
II will not accept If nominated and
will not serve If elected"
When, in a similar situation, I
read about this marrying of Gen.
Eisenhower, I could not but wonder
whether there might not be more
behind the inquisition than merely
a desire on the part of some re-
porter to pursue a subject that had
already become distasteful to Gen.
Eisenhower and as to which he was
entitled to his own privacy. I could
not but speculate whether there
might not be some ulterior reason
for this persistent cross examina-
ton. Could it be possible, by any
chance, that some one at the in
stance Of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York, who wants to be Presi-
dent so badly that he can taste it,
had suggested to some friendly re-
porter that it might be helpful to
the Dewey candidacy If Gen. Eisen-
hover should be smoked out?

Is true Of the Indians who live here
They have boundless energy. The

Capital Of Continent.
We came to Cuzco because of all
the cities of South America it Is
the most fascinating and unique
1t is the archaeological capital oil
the continent. From Cuzco the Inca
ruled vast empire of more than
&c. 900 900 persons, and his domain
included all modern Peru, Bolivia
Northern Chile and Northwestern
Argentina. Today we speak of all the
Indians of that time as Incas. That's
a mistake. There was but one Inca
and he was the ruler. His subjects
were Indians, not Incas.
In and about Cuzco are many of
the most ancient and interesting
ruins in South America. Cuzco it
self, while it boasts a hotel up to
the best cosmopolitan standards, is
very little changed since the time
OF the Inca. Indians, wearing the
same old type costumes their fore
bears wore centuries ago, throng the
narrow streets and market places.
Alpacas and llamas and burros roam
over the same streets which re-
sounded to the tread of Pizzaro's
conquistadores. The walls of half
the buildings are Of stones mag
nificently cut by the Indians long
before Columbus discovered Amer
lea.
For country boy who used to
think a three-hour ride on the
Dixie Flyer was a whale of a trip,
I'm still amazed that I'm in Cuzco
just let the Morris Plan people try
to find me up here!

This Changing World
4. n. Assembly Must Act in 90 Days
Or Fail as Peace Enforcement Agency

jority of nations forming the Gen.
eral Assembly do not take matters
in their own hands and force de-
cisions on aggressors.
In accordance with the terms Of
the Charter this is not possible. TIE
representatives of at least As nations
of the IS which make up the U. N.
now have decided to circumvent the
Council in the case of Greece, and
also to ask for changes whereby the
decision of a minority cannot inter-
fere with the determination of the
majority to maintain an equitable
peace.
Moscow Knows Mistakes.
The belief of some high-ranking
officials in Washington that If Rus
sia were confronted with determined
majority opposition she would either
change her attitude or get out of
the U. Must as Germany and
Japan did when the League Of Ma
tions interfered with their plans for
world conquest-is regarded as un-
realistic. Moscow has studied care
fully the mistakes of the Nazis and
the Tokyo war lords, and will not
repeat their mistakes.
Under the present setup-and
thanks to the veto power given to the
Big Four-Russia cannot be expelled
from the U. NJ, regardless Of what
monstrous crimes she commits.
Hence, there is no reason why she
should give up position which per-
mits her or her satellites to commit
any aggression they wish without
risking any action by other nations
except verbal censure. Neither
the USSR nor her subject nations
care a rap about world opinion,
which they describe as the last gasp
of Fascist-capitalist -imperialist re-
action.
Yet, in spite of the heavy infiltra-
tions Of Communism into the social
structure Of most European coun-
tries, there is strong feeling among
their representatives at the U. N.
that Russia's drive must be halted
1t Is this conviction that will move
the majority of delegates to attempt
to give the General Assembly more
power than 1t now has. If such
step is blocked by the legalistic argu-
ments which Andrei Vishinsky, the
Soviet delegate, sets forth, the U. N.
may have to break up and reorgan-
ize as a true world peace enforce
ment agency.
The American representatives fear
the consequences of such q step
and will do their utmost 10 prevent
an open break. But Secretary of
State Marshall Is said to believe
that If a showdown Is inevitable,
Americans will be on the side of
those who want peace and not

LETT, each about the thickness OF
his wrist, less than half the length
of his arm, feeble barricade
against the inevitable end.
NIPEGOSIS no longer lived as
did his fathers, nor as he himself
had once lived. The tribes had
dwindled, they had blended with
the white man who had taken
away their land and who now
bound them by his own laws in
stead of their own tribal statutes,
made in wisdom and understand
ing of their natures.
But there was something left,
and the leaven of it was with
Nipegosis. They did not interfere
with him. He was free to go and
come, the tribesmen were per-
mitted to kill at will the game
that was still plentiful. So long
as they did not break the white
mans laws, as set forth by the
white warriors who came mount
ed and scarlet-coated in summer,
by sled and afoot in winter, fur
parkaed, there was not much
trouble.
Nipegosis no longer dreamed,
as he had when younger, OF max
ing magic and calling the warriors
to war against other tribes, or
against the whites. He was very
old and very wise, was NlpegoslS.
He could still make magic, still
hear the spirits, whisper when
he crossed the border of their
kingdom in his frances. He could
foretell the future, though he did
not care to go far, for it made
his heart heavy. Soon there
would be no more of his race.
One thing that saddened him
greatly was the half-breedS. His
pride of race would not permit
him to think that trappers and
traders, English, French, Scotch
for the most part, with whom the
young squaws had mated, were
of a superior race He did know
that the results Of these unions
almost inevitably brought out the
worst traits of either side and
eliminated the best. The male
breeds stole and lied and drank,
they had no regard for the rites
of their mothers, they felt them
selves despised by the comrades
and compatriots of their fathers.
The Old Order was changing.
NipegoSis reveled in memories.
His heroes were ghosts. His race
was vanishing, his own race al
most run.
He was glad enough to live
now in white mans lodge, The
cabin he had taken over had
once been the store at White
Rock. It was we'll enough built
of longs with a dirt roof and con-
sisted of one large room that was
roughly floored with planks. 1t
had two windows, now screened
by frost. There was a chimney
and a big drum stove of cast iron,
left behind in the disguised eX-
odus of the prospectors and the
trader. 1t burned wood of all
shapes and sorts and sizes. and
threw out a radiant heat that
was comforting to the old bones
of Nipegosis.

Trading post, was wanted for a
murder he did not commit. Ma
rlOn had gone with him to White

Macleod sent Dick to White
Rock, to deliver a message to
NipegOsis. After Dick had left,
O'ROurke of the Royal Mounted
police arrived at the Macleod
home. Dick ran into a storm and
had to take shelter. He had been
followed by a half-breed, Kin

shot and injured Dick in the leg.
BlackneSS fell. Dick was sure
his time had come.
His fingers got numb again,
white at the ends before he had
finished. The wound was not
bleeding any more, but he had
lost too much blood. The fire was
not giving out enough heat. He
could prolong the agony a little
or be prodigal with the wood, in
a final gesture. 1t would not be
a hard death.
He was getting sleepy anyhow.
If he flung on the last of the
fuel he could coil up in his
blankets and, by the time the fire
had died down, he would be un-
conscious, dying down also, in his
slumber.
A third thought struggled
!. Tough his firing mind Macleod
had rallied upon him to keep this
mission secret. What about the
sealed message to Nipegosis?
Would it be delivered, still seal
ed?
But then it might be to late.
He must keep faith with Mac
Leod, aside from the money.
The frost seemed to have got
into his brain. It too was getting
numb. The skeleton hands were
about his heart again. He could
fight them off with the rest of
the wood, 60 to sleep comfortable.

There was only one thing to do
destroy it, at the last minute.
And that was now.
Something stirred in him. His
manhood, getting its back against
the wall, for support in last
stand. There was not one chance
in a million of his survival, save
by magic or by miracle. But he
could still fight for a while, fight
off the growing sluggishneSS of
his blood, the stupidity in his
brain, and feed the fire carefully,
play the game to the last card.
When the last stick was burn
ing through he would burn the
letter-and go to sleep.

his limbs, laying siege to the
body, but his wound began to
