Often something happens to turn

Four or five hundred years ago
Europe seemed about 70 be con-
quered by the Mongols. Two great
battles we're fought almost on the
same day near Vienna and in
Poland. In both Of these the chiv-
airy and armed power of Europe
was completely shattered by the
Asiatic hordes. It seemed that moth
ing could avert the doom Of the
famous continent from which mod
ern civilization and culture have
spread throughout the world But
at the critical moment the great
Khan died. The succession was
vacant and the Mongol armies and
their leaders trooped back on their
ponies across the seven thousand
miles which separated them from
their capital in order to choose a
successor. They never returned till
now. " -

are on foot. Under the impact OF

Russian people and no desire 10
deny them their legitimate rights

after the war. would have access
through unfrozen waters, into every
1cean, guaranteed by the world or.
ganization OF which she would be
a leading member: that she should
have the freest access, which In
deed she has at the present time
to raw materials of every kind: and
that the Russians everywhere would
be received as brothers In the hu-
man family. That still remains our
aim and ideal We seek nothing
from Russia but goodwill and fair
play. II, however. there is to be a
war OF nerves let US make sure our
nerves are strong and are fortified
by the deepest convictions OF our
hearts II we persevere steadfastly
together, and allow no appeasement
OF tyranny and wrong doing In any
form, 1t may not be our nerve or
