September of 1939? Mrs. Stoddard promptly replied, “Germany”. Despite that reply, Mrs. ‘Goddard thinks, as a vast majority of. Americans thinks, that the United States should watch the Russians and watch them closely. She added that she agrees with Eugene Lyons’ ; views about Russia and its people, and that the United States should not lapse into a state of inertia but, instead, should be prepared and be on tiptoe while pre- pared. It would be well if her views about Russia, and they are close-up views, for she traveled much.in that country, were knowe by call sAmericans.

The employer cannot free himself from his striking employees. If he is to operate his business, he must employ them, even against his will. It is an inverted form of slavery.” The Government has the right, according to the economist to set up a wotkable system. “If both employers and employees should move away from monopoly and to- ward free competition,’ Mr. Scoville de- clares, “we would have less unemploy- ment, greater output, a higher standard of living, avistrikes ay¢yma arbitration of labor disputes.” He added!p Tt’ is better to repeal a bad law' flan Buss Additional laws to obviate the defeats..of the first law, The Wagner Act should be repealed!

But this is the chief differences between the two peoples: were the Russian peasants left alone, they would be content to lead a life of peace, whereas the Germans, with minor exceptions, breathe or breathed the Junker spirit of conquest. That spirit was manifested among the German tribes when their country was divided into many states in the time of Caesar.

The genius of the Ger- man people not only to improve on inven- tions of other peoples but to produce them- selves in the fields of chemistry and ma- chines far exceeds that of the Russians. Mind won the last war, and mind will win the next war, if there is a “next”, and the mind of the United States transcends that of all other peoples in productive and inventive genius, and it is production and invention that win wars. Tolerance means giving to others the same freedom we ourselves crave. The. way. it. begins, to look is that labor and management are getting ready to take a shiéefroihtie geyéral, public’s ‘purse. WHAT'S A GENTLEMAN? (Raleigh News and Observer) “And thus he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman.” It is a “grand” old name” much abused and sometimes applied to those who lack its hall- There is no better way of commanding ! marks: Gentleness, Courtesy, Justice, Considera- respect from others than by rendering re- ! tion, and Noblesse Oblige. No man can bear the spect to others. What is capital but accumulated la- bor; so after all we are all capitalists, only some are bigger than others. The Red Cross will soon make its an- nuat appeal to the public; nobody has to contribute but we feel sure that most everybody in Key West will. Human nature is such that the more you do for an individual the more he will expect you to do and the quicker he will get mad if you deny a small request. When Life printed Covarrubias’ map of Florida, Key West complained because it showed only the shabby side of the island city, but Pensacola was ignored altogether. The Citizen agrees with Major Wicke that the.“work would have been much more appreciated by Floridians, and particular- ly Pensacolans, had not Pensacola, north- west-Florida’s largest city, been omitted.” tl grand name worthily who does not incarnate these five paramount virtues, of which courtesy is the first essential, the door so to speak for the others. The teyn is too often given to those who claim it by inheritance. but whose manners do not en- title them to it. a consideration of the term as found in all sections is in order. In his “Ameri- can Heroes and Hero Worship,” Gerald Johnson writes: The true Southern gentleman is now, and always was, a rarity; but he who does discover | one discovers one of the most admirable types of humanity that the continent ever produced. A Bostonian of the finest type is his equal in per- senal integrity; a Philadelphian of the old school can match him in courtesy; men of the West can emulate him in courage and surpass him in wit, but the Southern gentleman stands unrivaled in the elusive quality we call charm. The bulk of the men of the South are not and never were gentle- man of this sort; but one of the most creditable things about them is that they wish to be. It is a weakness, too, for when they find a man who seems to embody the tradition they follow him too uncritically. are like to did failings, because tomorrow she was leaving them and because everything here was explicable now; ugly and depressing, but not sinister, not frightening any longer. “And Mr. Fennel,” she thought. “Something prevented his coming. I know I'll ‘hear from him again.

She got up and went to the door, and, a little giddy. stooped to examine the car- pet. There was surely a faint stain there, as of something that could not be quite scrubbed clean. If Wren had come to her door, unknown to anyone else, the stain would not be faint like this.
