The agreement, signed in January, provided for United States assistance in the purchase of equipment and pro ession« al aid for the mobilization of educational methods in Chile. Almost as soon as news of the agreement got around, there was a bitter campaign of opposition. The hostility was brought to a head when university students paraded the streets, approaching the U.S. Embassy residence with shouts of “Down with the United States!” Thereupon, Claude G. Bowers, our Ambassador, reminded the government that the agreement resuited from a Chilean request but that, since it must be based on “good faith with popu- lar support,” which seemed to be lacking in view of the growing violence of the op- position campaign, it.shoyld be terminat- ed.

A BILLION SUNS A leading astronomer estimates that there are about a billion suns in the uni- verse, and that each has a family of plane ets circling around it. Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, of the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago, says it would be “very strange” if life on these distant planets “should be at’ ail similar to life as we know it here’ on earth.” This may be a correct assumption but others may assert that it would be ‘very strange” if no life whatever existed . on the dark little worlds that, like our own earth, travel around many of these distany planets. Incidentally, the sun that gives life to those who breathe on this earth is a tre- mendous objéct, even if something of a junior among the greater star-suns.’ -It would take more than a million globes’ the size of this earth te fill the interior of our sun, If one contemplates the. vast and.va- cant spaces that are between the billions of solar. systems, the immensity of the universé is somewhat overwhelming.: Que can hardly presume that it exists merely to give us the pretty sky that attracts us or that, after all, the earth and its people are all that count in the universal scheme. eas ee - chiefs of staff certified ‘that “sufficient air strength will be available to: control the air over Western Europe to the degieé necessary. to assure the safety and ‘effee- tiveness of such ground | troops.” » This went down 64-24, with only 24 Republi- cans voting for it. The constitutional issue involved. in the effort of _Congress;to acquite some control over matters of foreign policy; atid even questions of military safety, illas- ‘rates the gaping hole in provisions of; ous Constitution. While the Presidént is Com- mander-in-Chief and in charge of foreign policy, the Congress, possessed ofthe sole ; authority to provide funds, can.” assert, power by withholding necessary .appro- priations. Most of our Presidents have suc- cessfully resisted any encroachinent upon their constitutional powers but, in the long run, if Congress persists, the chances are that the withholding of funds will eventually bring a President to terms. While we realize the danger of one- man control of foreign affairs, the demo- cracies of the world face a greater danger if they make their foreign polity and the dispatch of their fighting forees subject to Congressional or Parliamentary deter- mination.

In the fields of art and literature, its purpose was to destroy, to mock, to per- vert all forms of painting, phil- osophy, music, poetry, etc. At a typical Dadaistic meeting, some pdet would recite non- sensical words as verse, a piano would bang out discordant sounds, w philosopher would spout any- thing that crossed his mind, and} cther people would shout and sing: All of these activities were earried out simultaneously and invariably a riot would end the méeting. Probably escape the insane asylum, Dadaism gradually died out: améng its adherents and in its. place, SURREALISTIC ART was substituted. i-That’s the so-called art that you look at and probably see Twenty different eyes sticking out.of: a guy’s forehead. The kind that’ makes you shudder to imagine. that such horrible pic- tires: can be maintained in a! hiiman mind, much less be given expression by a painter’s hand. Salvador Dali is a prime example of surrealistic art. If you con- sidef- ‘his pictures bad, ard re- member, he‘is a master draughts- man, you should see some of the inexcusable imitations of self- Styléd artists here in Key West. Surrealism ,of course, extends toother fields of art, such as lit- érature, etc. Perhaps that ex- plains some of the local writers. Marquis de Sadi, who gave us the word “Sadism,” is claimed by the surrealist as an early ex- ample. In its early days, surrealism also claimed that it was a rep- resentative of Communism in art. A claim that must have given any self-respecting Com- munist palpitations of the heart. They promptly and vigorously denied the claim. The only sen- Russian making. Outside of Key West, this form of art quite often creates amuse- They exclaim, “How beauti- ful!” and “How well-written!”— The Hippocrites! They don’t even know what they are looking at ‘or reading.
