British Rule Now Based
On Force, Gruner Says

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8 P.-|
The rule of the British military
court in Palestine "is now based on
one principleronly, brute force, the
hayonet, and a reign of terror in
the disguise of so-called laws" de-
clares Dov Bella Gruner, Jewish
underground member condemned to
death.
Gruner's statement was contained
In a hitherto unpublished letter
which Irving Wolfson, executive di-
rector of the American League for
a Free Palestine, said he had re-
ceived from Irgun zvai Leumi, jew
ish freedom organization to which
Gruner belonged. The letter, in
mimeograph form, was mailed from
Tel Aviv.
Gruner. directing his statement
to the British court, which SEN
fenced him to death for his par
ticipation in raid on a British
police station, was quoted as writ
ing:
"You trod upon the international
treaty which you signed with our
people and the nations of the world.
Nothing has remained of the legal
basis of your rule, and it is now
based on one principle only, brute
force, the bayonet, and a reign Of
terror dn the disguise of so-called
laws"
Irgun Role Supported.
In support of his role in the Irgun,
Gruner said:
"A rule existing in any country
when transformed into a rule Of op-
preston, ceases to be lawful. 1t is
the right of its citizens, moreover,
it is their duty to fight against this
rule and to overthrow it.
This is what the Hebrew youth
Is doing and will continue to do
until you evacuate this country and
return 1t to its lawful owners-to
the people of Israel"
Mr.. Wolfson served with the, Unit
ed States Army in Germany and
said he came in contact with the
Jewish underground there. That,
he explained, was probably the rea-
son why the letter was addressed
to him by name.

had gone only a mile when he

Jeff and Linda spent all the

Their might in desperation have
concealed the important paper

Linda stared at him in per-
plexity.
Wasn't there some spot on your
property known only to you and
your father that he might have
used? Perhaps some old mine en-
trance or eave?"
There are a few old excava-
TONS" he agreed, "but the risk of
a cave-in over period of time
is SO great that / don't think Dad
would have chosen such a place"
But if he was writing you
about the hiding place he must
have expected you to search for
it Immediately after his death"
That's true. Tomorrow I'll have
a look at some of the diggings."
Linda's mouth formed an @ and
her small hand went up to cover
it. There is something tool just

jeff turned eagerly. "What is
it,"
when we moved in here we
found a number of old rocks in a
cardboard box. l was going to
throw them out then Dad said
they looked like samples of ore
and we'd better save them. I'll get
them for you"
She was gone before he could
stop her and returned a moment
later with the box. jeff examined
the mineral specimens with care,
cycling the greenish veined rock
doubtfully.

a country full of vigor, growing
pains and the repressed violence
that was to explode one day into the
terrible war between North and
South.
Starting out as a lawyer in New
York, Bigelow first attained prom
inence and influence as partner
editor of William Cullen Bryant on
the New York Evening Post. AS
Miss Clapp describes this phase of
his career, he lacked brilliance and
fire, but his pen was searching and
forceful enough to make his. counsel
sought after in political circles. He
was active in the founding of the
Republican Party, and he was one Of
the closest advisers to the rich but
luckless Samuel Tilden, Shrewd in
financial matters. he did not have to
worry about income when he took
over as American consul in Paris
during the Civil War and devoted
himself to winning French friends
for the North. Later he served as
our minister to France.
His career after that included a
brief and unsuccessful try at the
managing editorship of the New
York Times; activity in behalf of
Grants nomination to the presi-
dency; writing on various themes
and the editing of Benjamin Frank

astic research in Swedenborg's re-
ligious views; and the role of elder
statesman speaking to the Goth CEN
tury after having lived through most
of the 10Th.
Miss Clapp's story of the man,
and of his times as we'll. is told in
great detail. His true character and
philosophy, however, remain bit
puzzling. He is presented as Glib
eral," but his admiration for Prus-
sia, his curious proposal to solve the
slavery question by making Florida
a Negro state with limited rights, his
opposition to public-supported edu-
cation, and several other of his ideas
would hardly earn him that label
now. The portrait Miss Clapp has
drawn has contradictions within it,
and Bigelow emerges as somewhat
confusing and cold personality.
Nevertheless his life was that of a
good and useful citizen. Reading
about it, besides being interesting,
throws additional light on a vital
part of our history.

Chooses His Own
Fovorite Essays

ESSAYS OF THREE DECADES
BY Thomas Mann. fAIfred A.
Knopt,' $4J
These essays by one Of the fore
most men of letters of our era were
written between 1910 and 1889
Some were delivered as lectures be-
fore universities or learned societies
in this country and in Europe; otf-
ers were published first in other
Mann collections or in scholarly
publications.
DR.. Mann deals with some Of the
great figures of literature and
philosophy in whose work he is
stepped. They include Goethe, Toll
stoy, Wagner, Schopenhauer and
Freud. There are chapters on poets
and dramatists much less familiar,
including Chamisso, Platen, Lessing,
Theodore Storm, Kleist and Fon-
tame.
The Nazi Heritage.
There are four essays on Goethe,
whom DR.. Mann apparently rev.
erenced most from early youth.
These discuss Faust, Goethe's career
as man of letters, Goethe as
representative of the Bourgeois Age,
and Goethe and Tolstoy."
DR. Mann tries to absolve Wagner
from the charge that he left the
Nazis a spiritual heritage. The es-
sayist speaks of "the intellectually
of Wagner's nationalism and its re-
moteneSs from the political sphere" J"
Wagner was Hitler's favorite COM
poser, for which, of course Wagner
could not have been blamed even
had Hitler been q contemporary.
No, 1t is to the extravaganza Of DR..
Mann's praise of Wagner as a crea-
tive genius that exception may be
taken by those who have come to
place a greater value on other post
Beethoven German composers.
Beautiful but Tedious.
While some of the essays undoubt-
edly contain the authors final judg-
ment on their subjects, so much
has happened since 1889 that other
comments and conclusions are dat
ed. In Goethe and Tolstoy," first
published in Germany in 1922, DR..
Mann speaks of German fascism,"
not yet ascendent, as "a racial re-
ligion, with antipathy not only for
international Judaism. butt also,
quite expressly, for Christianity, as
humane influence" He adds: 1T
is a pagan folk religion, a Wotan
cult; it is, to be invidious-and I
mean to be nvidious-romantic bar
barism." But he goes on to discuss
tendencies then current in France,
and the possibility of an accord be-
tween France and Germany.
There is lucid, beautiful writing
in the book There also is tedious
writing, some of it difficult for the
general reader to follow

DR.. Edward Podolsky has written
an interesting and comprehensive
factual survey Of various aspects
of Soviet medicine Having written
numerous other articles and books
related to medicine, his style is we'll
adapted to such subject matter.
Though the factual material is
very we'll handled. one can sense
the author considers his story so
vital and moving that embellish-
ments are unnecessary.
The growth and development of
Soviet medical care, research and
public health can well be termed a
miracle" The reader follows with
DR.. Podolsky the transformation OF
medicine from the archaic of the
Tsarist regime to the expanding,
vigorous field Of the Soviets.
The author divides his book into
four sections: The practice of med
icine In the Soviet Union. the
miracle of Soviet medicine, a gall
lery of Russian doctors, the prom
ise of the future. He states in his
foreword that he wishes to answer
the following questions: How do
people live under socialized or gov
ernment medicine? What are the
benefits they derive? What kind
of doctors are produced under this
system? Can medical research -four
ish, and if so what kind of medical
science does this system produce?
In 1913, under Tsarist rule, there
were but 1875 physicians in Russia;
there were only 13 medical schools
with $500 students. BY 1941, there
were 130,348 physicians and 81 med
ical schools with 1o5,oo0 students.
Epidemics of typhus, malaria,
cholera and smallpox have been
eliminated. There has been a
marked drop in the rate of tubercu-
losis. Other diseases are we'll under
control of expanding public health
work.
The author particularly points
out the emphasis the Soviets place
