The jury ruled Graham guilty OF
intending to incite "ill-will be-
tween different classes of His
Maiesty's subjects" At the open
ing of the trial, Attorney-General
Gordon S. Wisner, personally pros
ecuting, warned that if anti
Semitism was allowed to continue
unrestricted in Canada it could re-
suit in "pogroms and attacks,
similar to those in some foreign
countries.
eff attacks on Jews such as the
accused is alleged to have made
are proper, there's no reason why
tomorrow there may not be similar
attacks on Orangemen or Roman
Catholics" said Mr.. Wismer. His
personal appearance, he declared

which the Crown viewed the Of

Graham will be sentenced at the

WASHINGTON


The present-day world runs to
bigness. Masses of men were
moved about during the war.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
were spent. Phenomenal quanti-
ties of supplies were dispatched.
America is q vast continent and
Americans have a gusty appetite.
Advertising is keyed to the SUPER
colossal.
Probably nowhere in the world
is there a country with as many
groups, bodies, councils, associa-
tons as the United States. Homo
Americanus is a genial soul. He
likes his fellow-man's company.
One morning there awOke a man
who decided that too many flowers
In a garden prevented proper
growth and full bloom. Armed
with shears and spade, he started
up-rOOting.
The man was Frank Well. TAX
ing inventory of his garden of
organizations, he gave a start.
Twenty-Five of them he counted,
that he belonged to. It was not
a mere question of membership.
It was sufficiency of time and
energy to devote to them. Run
ming down the list of his activities,
the interchangeable Mr.. We'll dis
covered that he was president of
the Jewish Welfare Board, men,
Der of the United States National
Commission for UNESCO Omitted
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization), pres
ident of the National Institute of
Social Relations, chairman of the
personnel division of the National
Board of Boy Scouts, as well as
chairman of the National Jewish
Committee of the Board.
Wiping his brow, he continued
down the list. He is treasurer of
the National Conference on Pre-
ventiOn and Control of Juvenile
delinquency, vice-chairman of the
board of Hebrew Union College,
and for variety, a member of the
New York State Unemployment
commission, appointed by former
Governor Lehman, and re-appOint-
Cd Dy Governor Dewey. Still they
came, board after board: a director
o. the Jewish TeIegraphic Agency,
and of Temple Emanuel.
A man of decision, Mr.. We'll de-
elded to prune his list.
He may have thought, with Sec
rotary Of State Marshall, that
events happen so rapidly and with
such Importance these days, that
'ne resulting confusion might lead
:" a mix-up of organizations and
'neir respective activities. Adj
uressing a meeting here of the
ONESCO national commission,
secretary Marshall announced
mat Il expect to arrive at some
p,Ace and talk about one thing
"nen the group is talking about
~"Other. That is going to happen
:" me, I am certain" Keeping
One's mental processes in the
proper state of coordination" he
'Onfessed, "is very hard"
