t è Thurmlay, July 21, 193K WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON À w t K J EW YORK—Several years be- A ’ fore Rain a in Holland finished •’Jeun Christophe," Leo Tolstoi called him the wurden of the con science of Europe. R o lla n d In his quarter C o m ti Hom e century exile In Switzerland, he To D ir has r e m a i n e d "above the battle," warning of war, decrying hatred, pleading for peace and understanding. His has been a voice crying in the wilderness. His exile ended, he returns to Frunce, "an old man, broken and despair ing,” as the news dispatches report. The world seems to have little heed ed his impassioned appeals. He wants to die in Clamecy, the vil lage where he was borh. The greatest novel of a cen tury, possibly of many cen turies, "Jean Christophe" has been called by great critics and multitudes of lesser lights. It was published In 1913. This w riter has found few young per sons, even those majoring in literature, who have read It. He has found others who have nev er heard of Komain Holland, the Nobel peace prize winner exiled from his country, while Carl von Ossietsky, German Nobel peace prize winner, was impoverished, jailed and harried to his death in the same “years between." There is in this age swift obsolescence in the spiritual heritage as well os In machines. But another, even greater teach er, looking sadly down on the multi tude from a hill in Teachings Jerusalem, was a ls o u nh eed ed : W ill Be "How often would Rem em bered I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would notl” But neither He nor His teaching was al together forgotten.. There will also be those who w ill remember Ro- m ain Rolland. When he was exiled from France, vast sums of money were offered him if he would go to America, to write and lerture. Publicity, or any form of self-ex ploitation, Is to him profoundly distasteful, lie withdrew to a se cluded villa near Zurich, Switz erland. There is one definite attitude in all these post-war writings. He had no faith in "move / / • K nrui ments,” in "idolo- gies,” right or left. Righteous C an Be C ru el He repulsed Henri B a r b u s s e , h is clarte group and the various "united fronts," as he did the emissaries of bloody reaction from the right. He knew that the righteous can be as cruel as the wicked, once they find reliance on force. Like the great German Fich te, whom be esteemed, he be lieved only in the "inner light" —never in organization or force. But he was not a "political ag nostic." He fought, and suf fered. to arouse the world con science, as the dying Tolstoi had enjoined him. He is a tall, spare, pallid old man, with thinning hair and sad, deep- set eyes as he returns to France at the age of seventy-two. Educated in music, at the Ecole Normale, he became a devotee of Wagner, whose genius inspirited his l i f e - then of Tolstoi and Shakespeare. He has written many times in the last few years that he sees little hope that the world w ill escape a last devastating war. • • • I T WAS reported that Sir John * Reith, director general of the British Broadcasting corporation, was badly licked in that interna tional A r a b i c Sir John crooning contest a while back. Virtu Beaten in ally all observers R ad io D u el gave the decision to Italy. It so, it probably was the only time he ever lost a contest. The tall, bald, grim Scotsman Is upped to the job of running the Im perial Airways, as a civil arm of rearmament, with a sizeable hike in salary. It is now $50,000 a year, instead of $35,000. He is an engineer, and in 1916 was here with 600 technicians checking on war m aterial contracts. He didn’t like America or Americans but eased up on us later on. Run ning British radio, he has been ex ecrated as a tyrant, but he has held to his line and confounded all his adversaries. His views on radio programs were outlined by him as follows: "To set out to give the public what it wants, as the saying is, is a dangerous and fallacious policy.” O The Gold Hill New», Gold Hill, Oregon THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE Clean Comics That Will Amuse Both Old and Young Solved T H E FEATHERH EADS W IL L , F A N «/ — w i T h S oha B women vou cant SfcT A VtoBO IN EtXrE W IÍB ------- 13 N O T that T y p Ê ----- _ ■we H A V E OUR. « patì ano l e t IT 6 0 A T __ / THAT WHAT WOMEN SAY C A uief MORE TROUBLÉ T han WHAT OH NEAH MStJ TWWK- By C.
