Since 1881, when this country approved the Treaty of Geneva establishing the “Association of the Red Cross,” the organiza- tion has flown its banner upon the scene of every major disaster in the United States. In all, it has spent $143,000,000 at of 2495 disasters Primarily Red Cross is an service. 1In time of disaster agency with facilities and the ately to the scene and administer Cross provides it, with of following swiftly in extending relief me in the the re: Anity sult of efficient serv- we the scene instrument of need for an funds to go immedi- relief.

Stripped of inaccuracies and obvious distortions of the truth, it is a declaration of Russia's steadily closer political relations with Germany and Japan, of her growing hostility toward Great Britain, France, and the United States, But the interest this amazing speech will have for most persons lies in the unconscious humor of its attempts to justify a rapproachement between Communist Russia and Nazi Germany. Molotoff revived the cry of world revolution, with references to the oppression of workers in capitalist countries. But he failed to mention the country where oppres- | sion of workers is most outrageous, apart from Rus ia herself. That country is Germany. Equally entertaining is the Russian Premier's sudden discovery that Great Britain and France are aggressors”—in fact “criminal aggressors.” Yet he has no word to say in this relation of Germany’s| complete annihilation of the political existence of Poland. Moscow was loud enough in’ denouncing! the similar annihilation of Czechoslovakia and | ustria. For in the Molotoff, particular humor country. Premfer of Poland and Russia’s dom- Americans there will be references to their own having just grabbed part brought three Baltic countries under ination, charges the United States with the Filipinos and Cubans in subjection. What makes this especially amusing is the fact that Cuba has never belonged to the United tes, and the Fili- pinos are in real danger of being forced to accept independence, which they do not want! In a speech so triumphantly indifferent to facts, it would be idle to look for trustworthy information. The most we can conclude from it is that Molotoff alin just now want the world to believe that is on the German side but will not fight on| side. In two months the ally absorbed three and Soviet Government has virtu- | a half indepen neighbor- ing states. These events have an eloquence of their own, so plain and so forceful that they completely overshadow the manifest nonsense uttered by Sta- lin's mouthpiece of the moment Haven (Philadelphia Record) The Dominican Republic is living up to its promise to do its share in helping to solve the refu- gee problem and has taken the first step toward| eventual settlement on the island of 100,000 persons in permanent homes Within a few months, if the are no unfore- seen diffic s, the first group of 500 families will land on the island as the result of an agreement between the Dominican Government and the Ameri- icultural © terms of the agreement has' pledged itself to give full economic, civil and religious rights of naturalization after of residence, and | guarantees against discrimination of any kind. In| addition, the Government has promised to exempt the settlers from the usual $500 entry fee, waive all duties on necessary tools and equipment and arrange to finance the living expenses and educa- tion of unmarried youths and young women. The h Joint ion the can Je Under the can Republic po Domini- the settlers the privilege corporation, on its side, will select the settlers, pur- chase land and provide housing The Dominican Government, despite the libe: ality of its undertaking, disclaims credit for acting from humanitarian motives alone, but, according to Minister Pastoriza, it “recognizes the need and | desirability of having such pioneer refugees settle and take part in the constructive progress of the country.” Other Governments might profit by adopt- | ing a similar policy What Fairs Cost (New York Times) The exposition business in the current year 1939 apparently requires an investment of $5 per customer. San Francisco's show is supposed to have cost $50,- 000,000 and it drew about 10,000,000 visitors. Our own World's Fair is usually said to have cost three times as much and has drawn approximately three times as many visitors. It may be that the cost in the case of both Fairs has been considerably over- stated, but at best the per capita outlay seems | bound to go far above the figure set in our last big exhibition, the Chicago show of 1933-34. The cost of the Century of Progress six years ago is estimated at $25,000,000, and in the first year it drew more than 22,000,000 visitors. The total two years' attendance at Chicago was nearly 40,000,000, which would bring down the expenditure to some- thing less than 75 cents a visitor, If the New York Fair next year prospers and brings up the total at- tendance to 50,000,000, the account will still stand at something 1 $3 per customer, or several times the Chicago rate Some of us recovered from hay fever just in time to go into our regular fa]l colds. + v in Denmark Wreckage of a German bomber is shown here after the warplane had been forced down in a dcsulau sec- tion on the west coast of Jutland.
