made its iAugust Issue, Icftiefly historical,
reviewing the founding o'fl $ie association in
Saratoga Springs in i 187 f and tracing its
history through threeuattjers of a century.
Pictures of; men! who! have (jserved as presU
dent of the association frt shown, and
distinguished gallery theyare, though many
names are 5ost to jcurrentsme. Names still
illustrious iare Joseph H.fChoate Alton B.

: The Bar Association is nflfa simple organi
zation any more, lit has Jsiawned a lot of
f atellites, which j reflects 1 the extent of
fpecialization in jthel rpractfcf of this profes
sion. Besides the AssemTl and the more
limited House of delegates! there are sections
on Admini$trative Law, Judicial Administra
tion, and jsuchi Ipecialtiisf as corporation
law, insurance lawj crimfrld law, interna
tional law etc.! Then thjefe are affiliated
bodies such as the American Judicature
Society arid various! national conferences.
They all hold their sessiohjs around the same
time as the association soJ $oston is a veri
table seven ring circus tjjiif week.
One of the speakers tbj rear was Justice
Robert H. ; Jackson of thielSupreme Court.
In his address Monday nght he warned
against the; sacrifice jof liberty asd individual
freedom in j the names of the ftate or for some
fancied increase in securifyfagainst external
foes or internal betrayersf "fhe real question
posed by Pie totalitarian! fnovements, said
Jackson, is whether tbdayliberty is regarded
by the masises of men as thfir most precious
possession. - i ' -I
Well, ths answer is tht everyone claims
to prize liberty, but therefjif great argument
over what j liberty consist? jbf or just what
liberties one should -en jo-. Jackson's infer
ence. is correct that the people are suffering
from an erosion of theil freedoms in the
name of national or personal "security." The
Instincts far liberty are sil vital however;
and we are confident thef dll assert them
selves in due course. 1 1
And the; free bar f is a fgfeat bulwark for
constitutional liberty. j I
Farmirigas Big Business "
Some three million forms which are S5.6
per cent of the total classified by the census
bureau as commercial farms produced 95.3
per cent of the farm production of the United
i States in 1949. In other words the business
of farming is becoming big business. A tabu
lation made by the American Farm, Bureau
shows thaf only 1.9 per cent of ajl farms
produced 26 per cent of total farm produc
. tion. Their. average per farm was $56,000.
The first three classes, including all farms
with production of $10,000 and over, or 22.4
of the total number of farms accounted for
73.5 per cent of total production.
Not that the production of the 'little fel
lows" was insignificant. A millon and a hall
farms listed as commercial produced over
$5 billion worth of farm stuff.. Then there
are many part time farms or f residential"
farms which swell the number of producers
but they turn out only two and a half per
cent of all farm production. ;
Power machinery has stimulated the
growth of big farms, and the high cost of
farm operations calls for larger sums in
working capital. The point is, that in talking
about farms and farming there is a definite
break between the farmers who make a busi
ness out of farming and those who just make
a living out of it, if they can.

expected to do the leftists and

WORLD WRITING . . Third
Mentor Selection, edited by
Arabel J. Porter (New Amer
ica library; 5ft cents).
The PhiUips-Rahv collection
of a good dozen fiction pieces
from the "Partisan Review
joins a growing list of ' paper
bo u n d off erings of writing
from people to whom writing is
not just a job but a solemn call
ing. These are hard times for
writers, . and they're, lucky to
get the support f Avon, as of
New American library and a
couple of other houses that sell
their books for two to four bits.
. But it works both ways Avon
is lucky to get these writers . . .
Ayme, Cocteau, Trilling, Bel
low, Rosenf eld. The subjects
are sex, disillusion, sex, social
tension, sex. What the, editors
or publishers mean specifically
by "modern manner" can best
be defined negatively; while
there's no new literary form, '
these are neither slick nor su
perficial. The size of the audience -to
which this fine writing appeals
is shown in NAL's printing of
400,000 copies of its first two
selections. Assembled on a wid
er base than the Avon, this
t&lrd number, contains fiction,
poetry, articles from nearly 40
writers, Moravia alone being in
both of them. John Howard
Griffin's short story, one of the
' best, seems to attest to bis tal
ent better than did his long nov
el "The Devil Rides Outside.
Other 'fiction is by Hollis Sum
mers, Peggy Bennett, Louis An

they didnt forget sex; the lead .
article is Margaret Mead's "Sex

turn to it first And nobody can

Molotov Should Sign
Moscow has announced the signing of a
pact with East Germany and hailed it as a
triumph of Communist diplomacy. No word
comes whether Molotov signed for the USSR.
If the irony of fate holds he should be the
one, for he signed the last previous pact with
the Germans, the one with Ribbenrop which
cleared the way for Hitler tq attack Poland
and for Russia then to come in for its share
of the kill.
By all means Molotov, again foreign
minister, should sign for Russia, This time
of course the pact means that 'Russia has
swallowed up both Poland and -embraced
East Germany within its orbit That should
make the charred bones of Der Fuhrer glow
with fresh, hatred. To such an end did he lead
his country.

German High Command in the
Caucasus. Indeed, reports from
secret sources showed that he
was planning a general rising
against the Allied occupation
forces . . "
The job assigned to Maclean
was to kidnap Zahedi and to do
so .without creating a disturb
ance. The general had his head
quarters at Isfahan. Maclean
went there, conferred with the
British consul, and laid this plan
to capture Zahedi. The plan
worked. The general was seized
in his home in broad daylight
rushed out into the deser) where
a plane was waiting to whisk
him out of the country. The coup
was reported in the world press
at the time, and it effectively
blunted the schemes of Nazi
agents in Iran.
One gets a more intimate pic
ture of the new boss of Iran in
another paragraph in Maclean's
book. After turning Zahedi over
to a British contingent Mac
lean returned to , Isfahan and
with the now subservient chief
of staff to the departed general
visited Zahedi's house to con
duct a search. Says Maclean:
- "In the general's bedroom I
found a collection of automatic
weapons of German manufac
ture, a good deal of silk under
wear, some opium, anuillustrated
register of the prostitutes of
Isfahan and a large number of
letters and papers.
The letters proved that Za
hedi had .been an accomplice of
the Germans, and Maclean ob
serves there was no doubt "the
General's arrest had not come
a moment too soon."
The British adventurer adds
that he was "amused" to read
in a newspaper "not long ago"
(his book was published in
1950) that Zahedi had returned
to Persia "and once again been
placed in command of the South
Persian-military district"
Imagine how surprised, if not
amused Maclean, must be now
(he is back again in the British
Parliament which he left for
war duty) to read that his one
time captive is now the strong
man of Iran. And what does
No. 10 Downing street think of
the chance that Zahedi will in
vite the British back to run the
oil refinery at Adaban? He
might take his captive as part
of the fortunes of war, but
surely his pride was sorely
pricked when Maclean told
about his call list
