JOHNSON AND GINSBURGH General Hugh Johnson’s closing campaign speech for Willkie in which he used Jewish dialect re- sulted in more than 10,000 protests from radio listeners. But what most of the American public did not know was that when General Johnson cast rfelection on Jolonel Robert Ginsburgh, he was reing unfair to one of the finest fficers in the U. S. Army. Colonel Ginsburgh comes from an ld and aristocratic family. His reat-uncle, Baron Ginsburgh, built he trans-Siberian railroad for the Jzar of Russia. 4The Colonel is a Vest Point graduate and field ar- illery officer who has served both Republicans and Democrats with 'qual brilliangy.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22 Good and adverse planetary in- fluences are active today, but ben- efic aspects appear to dominate. In the early hours the mind may be disturbed and the judgment warped, owing to too much holi- day celebration, but later there is a good sign for businessmen. Heart and Home: Women are un- der the most stimulating and promising planetary direction to- day. It is especially favorable to foresight which enables wise de- cisions.

RUSSIA'S COTTON Inside word from abroad is that American cotton purchased by Rus- ia is not all being used by the Soviets. When Russia re-entered the American market recently, assuranc- *s were given the State Department ‘hat the coton was needed for the expanding Soviet textile industry. and there would be no reselling. But confidential reports from U. S. Consular officials indicate that the cotton is being passed on—and at fancy prices. Russia bought at 10 cents a pound, is getting as high as 20 cents a pound from eager European and Balkan buyers. In many cases the selling is by barter, the U. S. cotton be- ing traded for other goods. Heav- iest buyers—or swappers—are Ger- |many, Switzerland, Jugo - Slavia, | Hungary, Denmark. g One Consul reported that a Jugo- merce. It is true that an economic war is forecast and a snarl in in- ternational finance, but for the sound organization, mercantile or manufacturing, the future is bright. While the old days of sudden for- tunes and great profits may have vanished, there will be firm foun- dations for American trade and slav trade mission was departing for Moscow to negotiate for a large quantity of cotton. Another that Nazi-ruled Denmark was signing a new trade treaty with Russia un- der which cotton would be obtained. In the end, of course, the Nazis will get it. Hungary, now largely in thg Axis orbit, was reported to have made a similar deal, while an- other consul reported large Swiss cotton purchases from Russia. After the outbreak of the war last vear, Russian cotton exports to Germany stopped. But these ship- ments have been secretly resumed and Germany has obtained several hundred thousand bales from its Soviet friend.
