SUNDAY SCHOOL SKATES Talent, March 27 An enioy- able afternoon was spent Satur day at the Medford Ice Arena by 25 members of the Talent Friends Sunday school, as part of the weekly recreation pro gram curried on by the church. MAIL TRIBUNC Tuesday. Mwch VI. 1S4S Editorial Correspondence Palm Springs, March 23: That "Old Timer" may win this weather debate yet. Here is another storm which Is No. 5 in less than three weeks. And this is a honey the day of the "Big Wind" as far as this season is concerned. Swept the old boys off the golf course like dead leaves before a Sou-Easter, And it takes SOME wind to do that! Palm Springs, however, is In a little cup of hills and moun tains protected on three sides. One can only imagine what the storm must be like out on the open desert! According to the telephone gal here, all motorists are being warned at Indio to hole in there and venture neither east nor west until the storm blows over. (And the sun shone this morn ing!) The last of a series of public forums was held at tha Frances Stevens school auditorium here last night, the subject being "Are We Winning the War?" . . Sounds like a silly question. And it is NOW. But it wasn't so silly when the series started. Dr. Rufus B. von Kleinsmid, president of the University of Southern California was advertised as the speaker and having often heard of the energetic educator and promoter, and never having seen him, we decided to attend. The speaker, however, was not Dr. Kleinsmid, but a Dr. Camp bell also from U. S. C, substituting because of the former's ill ness. Apparently this fact had gotten around a bit for there were only 63 people in the auditorium (by actual count) and three of them were Boy Scouts, acting as ushers! a a a e However, we were glad we attended. For it was very un usual talk, not so much for what the speaker said, as the implica tions of his remarks. His subject was "Russia's place in the post-war world." And Dr. Campbell having travelled in Russia extensively and being a student of international relationships and geo-politics with a doctor's degree in psychology proved to be a very fluent, pleasing and Informing speaker. But what he said and the implications really added up in plain English to Just this: Stalin today is in almost precisely the same position POLITICALLY-SPEAKING that Hitler occupied at the outbreak of the present war; and is being cajoled and APPEASED, precisely as "Der Fuehrer" was in 1938 and '39. And for the same reason because the rest of the nations fear him and do not wish directlv at least to oppose him! Of course there is this obvious war now, and the war had not started at the time of Munich and "Berchtesgaten And of course For until the war is OVER and Germany has been beaten, no one would advoeate ANY action that might threaten allied solidarity. But Dr. Campbell was also the war in Europe at least will And as HE sees it Comrade will do very much as he darn pleases, and for the same reason Hitler did as he darned pleased, in the three or four years, that preceeded the present conflict, namely: Because no one no nation that is wishes to FORCUFULLY oppose him. Why? Because Stalin is practically impregnable. He has the men, he has the guns, he has a country that is absolutely self sustaining; and while one might say it is hard for him to get at ma rem oi me worm, u is equally rest of the world to get at HIM! So, it proved to be a very undersigned was concerned, though the questions that followed the forum were as is often the case not really questions at all but little impromptu (perhaps not so impromptu) speeches by the niicgtu JlelUllUfejWEUrS. Dr. Campbell, however, did very DEFINITELY that Stalin is no angel, no New Dealer, no philanthropist, nationally or internationally, but a very realistic ruthless, and unscrupulous DICTATOR! And he stated this was reallv will never be satisfied until he has not only an open port on the ?aciS..(y.!2dlvostock ta not): but also one n Atlantic and ha MEANT the ATLANTIC, not tha Baltic, the Adriatic or the Mediterranean Constantinople, for example. If Dr. Campbell Is correct we if he is then what does all this mean? Alt this means that Stalin will ALL the world from the North aennng aea tne pacific the greatest empire continuous geo graphically, this world has ever seenl Does Dr. Campbell of USC know what he is talking about? We DON'T KNOW. We do know he is not a man of anv nntlnnnl nrnmliunn is President von Kleinsmid. But philosophy in good standing, and has made a special study of world conditions and international politics. He has also been a visitor in Russia four or five times, and has made a careful study of that country: And while he is realistic regarding the Soviet regime and Comrade Stalin; he is also, we should say, definitely pro-Russian in his sympathies and outlook. Well anyway, it is not for us meeting as it took place, and quote Dr. Campbell's remarks as they were given. But, as above stated, the evening was well spent as far as we were concerned. For whether Professor Campbell is right or wrong, there is no question that he touched upon war world. And this is also interesting. Dr. Campbell admitted that, point, there is no real difference between a communistic dictator ship in Russia, and a Nazi dictatorship in Germany or looking backward a Fascist dictatorship in Italy. Their characters po litically speaking were the same. The political problem in the iuiure, as lar as Russia is concerned, will also be the same. We doubt if this lecture is papers here the "Desert Sun" and But, as before stated, not so much as to the implications of same, here was presented in rather start ling clarity, one of the major problems of the post-war world. . Quick-Frozen Foods Will Revolutionize Standard of World Gloucester, Mnss., March 27 (U.R) Quick-frozen foods will revolutionize world living stand ards after the war,' Inventor Clarence Birdseye predicted to day.
