The diver gence between history and actuality haa rarely been wider or funnier than the other day, when Benjamin V. Cohen landed In New York after a -vacation abroad. The New York Timea chronicled the event in the following faintly awe-Inspiring lan guage: 'Benjamin V. Cohen, one of the two young lawyera said to wield more Influence with President Roose velt than any other Americans, re turned from Europe on the liner Manhattan last night, surrounded by a system of secrecy and protection more elaborate than any remembered In the port of customs men and others who had met ships for the last generation. Mr. Cohen was met down the bay by his rejuited partner In power, Thomas Corcoran." The story, which was printed In equivalent versions all over the country, went on to tell of how Corcoran went down the bay early, on a special, private cutter bristling with secret service agents. It de scribed how the regular cutter, car rying customs men and Immigration officers, was delayed for half an hour while Corcoran went aboard the Manhattan. And It intimated that the commander of the Manhattan. Commodore A. B. Randall, had been ordered to let no one else board his ship until the sinister team of Co hen and Corcoran were finally re united. As It happens, the physical facts of the story are strictly accurate. Yet the story Itself la utterly untrue. It was not Benjamin V. Cohen who waa "surrounded by a system of secrecy and protection." It was a shipment of 10.000.000 ounces of silver from the Spanish loyalist gov ernment a mere droplet In the river of unwanted white metal pouring into the treasury under the strange provisions of tho silver purchase act. The precautions were so elaborate because the loyalist government's right to aell the silver was disputed by Franco's rebel forces.
