 Thus the entire miserable affair should have been over more than three weeks before it officially But some group of dramatsts-who thought in terms of poesy apparently-decided to make it the "11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
 Wasn't that cute?
 Whoever thought of that might well be termed to have possessed the finest 1lh century mind extant Even the Kaiser suggested November 9, the day he abdicated
 In that period many killed, wounded, taken prisoners Three Frenchmen lost their lives at lO:59 a. m. on Armistce Day, one minute before the bugle sounded Everyone knew the thing was to De over at II o'clock but fighting continued-just for what Heaven only knows or perhaps we should say the Devil only knows.

 It is nice to have a holiday, Of course. All o1 s sometimes forget the idea behind each of the days set aside during the year. in our eagerness to sleep in or take off for day in the woods.

THE 11TH HOUR OF

To speculate souriy on the title given this day of celebration-and rest-it wasn't very long armistce Twenty three short years it lasted for even less time for our traditional allies
 We note that there is some hesitancy about pro- claiming another such day for the ending of the last unpeasantness. It some day in August the exact date having slipped mind In fact we would be happy if the whole thing could slip mind. We have no idea who makes up the collective mind to have such days but wherever he is he hasn't even hinted the matter yet. Perhaps it is felt that if proclaming armistice days gets be habit, there soon would be no working days left all year long by the end of the century

GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
ENGRATITUDE

In one of my considerations of the wisdom of Georgi Granada special Krass correspondent, l quoted from Maxim Gorki, the Russian novelist, as follows:
 @. What you call the civiliza- tion of the U.S-A. does not and cannot excite my sympathies. I think your civilization is the most deformed civilization on our planet, because it has magnified to mons trous proportions all the many and shameful deformities of European civilization"
 In the Russian press, particularly last summer, there was vogue of quotations from Gorki against the United States. The object was to show what a horrible country this is and how low the American people have sunk. Maxim Gorki who visited this country, is pro- duced as chief witness because Of his fame as the foremost prolet- arian writer of the Czarist era. He was a loyal follower of Lenin.
 In spite of all the miserable things he wrote about the Unit ed States, there is one incontro- vertible letter that he addressed to Herbert Hoover, which tells an- other story, and over which the Russians might we'll ponder. This letter is dated Berlin, July 30, 1922
 Prof. Geron Davis informs me that you kindly consented to send individual packages .tc scientists and men of letters in Moscow and Petrograd. Needless to say your generous assistance is worthy of the greatest praise Nevertheless, permit me to express my feelings of grat- itude to all citizens of the United States of America and complete satisfaction with the humanitar- ian work of the American Relief Administrator, of which you are

Chairman. In the past year you lhave saved from death three ana one-half million children, i've ana one-half million adults, fifteen thousand students, and have now added two hundred or more Rus sians of the learned professions. l am informed that this charity cost America fifty-nine million dol lars. figures which are sufficiently eloquent.
 Tn all the history of human sut- fering know of nothing more try 1 ing to the souls of men than the events through which the Rus sian people are passing, and in the history of practical Humanitarian ism I know of no accomplishment which in terms of magnitude and generosity can be compared to the relief that you have actually ac- complished. It seems to me very important that such great gener- osity developed during these pass years of universal cruelty-cruelty which is running Europe. following as it does the terrible war which shook the foundations of European culture. It is not only the physl- cal help which is valuable but the spiritual succor to the minds of mankind which are tormented by the events of the past years and sick, due to cruelty and hate.
 "The generosity of the American
 people resuscitates the dream of fraternity among peoples at a time when humanity greatly needs char
 itv and compassion. Your help will
 be inscribed in history as a unique,
 gigantic accomplishment worthy of
 the greatest glory and will long
 remain in the memory of millions
 of Russian children whom you
 saved from death. I believe that the
 recollection of American self-sac- rifice in saving children will make
 these same children better, more
 generous men and women. Permit
 me, with all my heart, esteemed
 MT. Hoover, to wish you and your
 assistants continued good health
 and stout hearts"
 Since 1922, the United States has
 aided Soviet Russia in many ways,
 particularly to the tune of sll,0oc,.
 OO0,0 0,0O0 during World War II, but
 no such gratitude as Gorki ex-
 presses in this letter appears. In
 fact, all that our aid actually ac-
 complished was to buy us a po-
 tential enemy who forces upon us an expenditure of perhaps as high as s2O,O00, 100000 year. h. stead of devoting our energies to
 civilization, we are forced to de- vote them to war.
 In fact, there seems to he no gratitude anywhere. We have aided Great Britain since 1917 as no na- ton has ever aided another, but there is no gratitude. The British l accept the aid as a right and then spoil all our good intentions on the continent of Europe by such arrogant stubbornness as Sir Straf- ford Cripps evinced in the matter of the union of western Europe or they try to impose upon us
 their unsound and obviously selfish i policy in China where they would : have us recognize Soviet China | to our detriment.

The 1918 Arruistice

This is in direct contrast to what happened 3l years ago after the Armistice in 1918. At that time the American people, idealistic, in- experienced in the field of foreign affairs, were inclined to think that all they had to do was sign a peace treaty and then forget about it. Peace, they believed, was something inscribed on beribboned parchmcnts which one left to dip lomatS.

The I945 Armistice

The 1945 Armistice
 But after the VIE and V-J days of this last war, it has been diff ferent. The American people, it is true, are tired. Some of them are worse than tired. They are discouraged and cynical. But they also know that if we had done our part toward the rest of the world in the 1930's, we would not be burying our war dead in the 1940's.
 Above everything else, the Ameri can people are determined that ] there shall be no more war. And they know that when they merely trusted diplomats in the past, we have had wars. Therefore, individ- ual Americans, tired as some of them are. are quite willing to help the diplomats.
 That's why there have been so many Care packages sent to Flu rope. That's why several million letters deluged Italy during its elections and helped win the bat tie for Democracy. That's why 20,O0O,000 Americans contributed to the friendship train. And that's why every American was pleased and delighted when the people of i France unexpectedly showed their appreciation by sending us their merci train.
 For peace is pretty much like matrimony. You can't quit working at matrimony immediately after the marriage license is signed And you can't run out on peace the minute the ink is dry on a treaty. Peace is just as hard to win as war, and much less excit- ing. For there are no brass bands playing as we march down the road to peace.
 So perhaps the basic thing to remember about the two trains exchanged between the French and Amerlcan people IS that It IS nOt difficult for people who know each ether to live in peace with each other. France has weathered a Napoleon, great revolution, the crash of many republics, but still the people of France remain our friends-because we know each other The governments which sign treaties come and go, but the peo- pie who enforce treaties go on forever.
 Of course, I am chiefly paid to pry into cabinet meetings and re- port on closed-door sessions, SC this may be boring to some people But anyway I'll try soon to report on what great many Americans are doing individually to help wir the peace.

Friendship Reverberates


 It has been nine months now since the French people sent their boxcars to the people of America, but the echoes of friendship are still reverberating through big city libraries and small country schools, or carried in exhibits throughout the states. Wisconsin, like Kansas, has mounted its car on a trailer, and it is still touring every county, and, after this tour is over, Wis consin plans to box the French gifts and send them out on five year program of display in indi- vidual schools. Yet Wisconsin is supposed to be German-Ameri- can state.
 Another byproduct of this French merci train has been millions of letters sent from the children ot the United States to the children of France. This may start chain of friendly correspondence lasting into the years.
 It would take several newspaper columns to describe all the steps taken by all the 48 states to show their appreciation of Frances ap- preciation.
 But the most significant part of this whole story is that almost nc enc of the many millions of Am ericans who contributed to the friendship train two years ago this month had any idea it would be reciprocated.
 It was hoped, of course, that American generosity would be ap- preciated-though there were ever some skeptics as to that. But nc one had the remotest dream that people would make the great ef- fort to load 49 boXcars with all sorts of paintings, statues, keep sakes and heirlooms-some of then priceless in terms of sentiment to send to the American people.
 Exchange of Two Trains
 So, on this Armistice Day, thu most important conclusion to b drawn from this exchange of twt trains between the people of Franc' and the people of the United State is that the ordinary folks iron Kansas to Normandy-the folk who have to go out and do tn fighting and the dying when war come are now determined t work at diplomacy They don't en tirely trust the diplomats.

The next test on the economy

Tuesday, when 1t votes on mo-

of Republicans gained enough
Democratic support to send the
