OltGWN Fill US MR SOCJIAIIOI Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry Alois Knapp, the nation'! No, I nudist, has come out lor nude United Notions. He argues the way lor the world to think alike. Is to look alike, viz: un dress. This is not a very bright idea, and, besides, people just won't do it. The secretary of agriculture predicts food produc tion will Increase, and "hunger banished from the earth." If both ideas work, America will be the fattest, nakedest country of them all. The Road to Peace Certainly no one would deny appeasement is wrong in theory, for it is the sacrifice of principle to expediency. And the recent war surely demonstrated it wrong in practice, for few things are clearer now than that had Hitler NOT been appeased, World War II would probably never have occurred. And yet there are people, many of them, who not only approve continued appeasement of Russia, but accuse those who oppose such a policy of being Fascist and war-mongers. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, appeasement is the road to war; truth telling and firmness, the only road to peace. THE report of Senator Vandenberg to the U. S. Senate, following his return from the recent meeting of the UNO in London, emphasizes the truth of these statements. We quote : "It would be entirely futile to blink the fact that two great rival Ideologies democracy in the West and communism in the East, find themselves face to face with the desperate need for mutual understanding in finding common ground upon which to strive for peace. It is my belief Russia and the United States can live In reasonable harmony if the United States speaks as plainly upon all occasions as Russia does if we abandon the miserable fiction, often encouraged by our 'fellow-travelers' that we somehow Jeopardize the peace if our candor is as firm as Russia's always is, and if we as sume a moral leadership which we have too frequently al lowed to lapse. The situation cans tor pai.c.. ..B. will but not for vacillation. We need but one rule: What is right, where is Justice? Then let America take her stand. Along with that there is a line beyond which compromise can not go. But how can we expect our alien '"ends to know where that line is. unless we re-establish the habit of saying only what we mean, and meaning everything we say. ' eee.ee EXCELLENT advice!

Hitler Germany vs Stalin Russia vja hava hoan nskpd what is the difference be' tween appeasement of Germany before the war, and appeasement of Kussia, alter. -. . Tn nno spnsp. there is no difference. The basic cause of appeasement in both cases was, arid is a de- aixo ounM trnuhln avoid war. If Russia were a weak, pacifist nation there would be no thought today of appeasement. But Russia is the largest country in the world and as far as land forces are concerned tar and away uiemu fnl This fact, taken with the fact that war psychology still endures, explains why Russia's pre- i;.. r.e "naanofni nnnmipst" is not more vieor- ously opposed.

THL LARNY X NEVER SWEATS (Eugene Register-Guard) "They tell us In Washnlg ton, when our grub gets scarce, Just to tighten our belts an other notch, but let them try that and cut logs, work In a sawmill, or on a farm. They ean probably talk all day on a cup of coffee and a sand wich." (From a letter) March arrived today, like a lamb and on time. The month has no holidays requiring the banks to close, and the tonsorial parlors to wish they had. . Kurt Singer, who operated underground papers in conquer ed lands, to the great disgust of the Nazis, believes Herr Hitler Is alive, and getting along all right In the late "good neighbor" nation, Argentine. Singer so stat ed on a recent visit to San Fran cisco, but gave no details or rea sons for his belief. "Wanted: Small girl to work In small store, small pay, hard work, References." (Want Ad Ogden, Utah, Standard) Admir able candor. After a ait-down strike, nurses In a Delaware hospital were per mitted to use rouge while on duty. The doctor In charge, how ever, cautioned them against us ing the supply on hand, at one daubing. a One of the minor objections to the Administration appointee as assistant secretary of the navy, is his v ealth, he being a multimillionaire. He now re fuses to withdraw, his character Is "vindicated " No prejudice should exist, because he has an over-supply ot cash, and "passed the hat" vigorously for the Nev Deal, in at least two campaigns. This caused the late Secy. Ickes to have a Hidden tantrum of righteousness, recently that tore him loose from a cabinet post The average nmerlcan feels, the appointee can keep his millions as long as thry haven t got them. They further feel there are more Interes'lng ways of getting rid of some of It, than being whitewashed by a senate committee. "When Secietary Lee Perry announced that the total mem bership was now approximately 200, everyone gasped at the very thought, "Whtt If every grange member shou'd decide to come to grange? Where would they sit?" (New Ph e Creek News) There's always the floor, and a lew vacant laps. j ing her. DUT there fortunately the similarity ends. The " motives behind appeasement are the same, but Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany are not the same, far from it. The Hitlerites were really bent on forceful con Quest of Eurone and the world. And impartial history will probably record the remarkable feature of this national paranoia was, how close it came to success. Soviet Russia, we believe, suffers from no such ambition, no such delusions of grandeur. No doubt Stalin would LIKE to see a non-capitalistic world, and the time may come when the Kremlin s ettorts lor world revolution will be resumed. But not by armed conquest from without. Rather the ott-mentinned termite boring irom witnm. And here there is, as a practical matter, a vast difference, as far as international reactions are con cerned. For Russia's policy while it may ultimately cause war does not as did Hitler's policy, NLCLbbllAlt, war. C0VIET RUSSIA, we are firmly convinced, does not WANT to conquer the world bv force. She has all the territory now she can successfully develop, and the first requirement in such development, is peace. But she does want security. A.nd judging the future by the past, she honestly believes, no doubt, the only way to have security, is to have a huge "cor don sanitaire" along her tremendous borders from the North Cape to Vladivostok, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, a "cordon sanitaire" under her control, ' j r . i i i f i . i l - . l inNit'aa oi me control oi ner uu'mugicai enema's. And that in general terms, is the basis of her present foreign policy. It is, we believe, an unfortunate policy, and poten tially a dangerous one; but it does not necessitate, as '.he German Nazi policy did, another world war!

Ailclng Queries from clients: Q. My wife wants to plan to have our next child born under Libra. Please name some noted per sons born under that sien. A Three presidents and one first lady were Libra-born. The presl dents were Chester Arthur, Zach- ary Taylor and R 'therford Hayes. The first lady is Eleanor noosevelt. Admiral Lord Nelson was a Libra. So was Nietzsche. There Is a strong possibility that a female child bom under Libra may become an actress. Some of the many actresses born under this sign are: Eleanora Duse, Sarah Bernhardt, Helen Hayes, Greer Garson, Janet Gaynor, Miram Hopkins, Carole Lombard and Constance Bennett. Was Evar Thus New Yorker complains he often gets no return when he puts a penny In the subway slot machines which' dispense chew ing gum and chocolate. That sad situation has existed for years. When a kid I often received no return from a subway slot ma chine for my hard-earned penny, And I mean hard-earned as I was then working as an office boy for four bucks a week remember once I was giving a slot machine a terrific shaking to get some results from the penny I had put in when a cop came up, gave me a bawling out and threatened to an est me for trying to rob the machine. That was the unklndest cut of all. Yes, sir, my memories of those subway slot machines are mostly outer ones. Forgotten People A Bostonian says everybody remembers the sex.ette in Floradora," but nobody seems to recall who played tl.e princi pal parts in Ihe show. "After all," says he, "the sextette was Just made up of chorus girls and chorus men." He challenges me to name tven one featured player of the original New York production of "Floradora" pre sented at the Casino theater. I'll name Edna Wallace Hopper. But that s only from hearsay. "Flora dora" opened on Broadway be fore my time as a musical show patron. Passing By Anita Loos. Pint-sized literary lady. She is about four feet nine inches tall and weighs around 84 pounds. In 1900 she wrote the scenario for one of Mary Plckford's first films, "The New York Hat." Ever since she has been turning out innumerable scenarios, essayj, books and plays. Right now she Is work ing on a play In which Helen Hayes is scheduled to appear. . . Jimmy Grippo. Broadwayite. His is a curious combination of oc cupations. He is a mind reader, hynotlst and manager of boxers. Is said to be especially clever In planting ideas in the minds of others by the power of sugges tion. Mike Jacobs should hire him for the Conn-Louis fight. Then Grippo could plant the idea In the Brown Bomber's mind that Conn is hard to beat. This might ll'SUIl 111 UUU IMKIMK live to knock Conn out instead of two. This would make the films of the fiRht more va'.iable. Blonde Sixty-nine Have heard from many sub scribers who say they are "dish water blondes." This, according to our Horses & Women files is No. 69 in order of preference on the list of the different types or Diondes. However, the dish water blondes we hear from don't seem de wnhearted. They appear to be unusually, intelli gent young women with a good sense of humor. These are the characteristics, which do much to make a marriage; a success. Keep 11 in mind, young fellow. The next time you meet a dishwater blonde, give her your careful attention. She might make a won derful wife for you. Sidelights Now I have a reader named; Prudence. But so far none I named Abigail. . . Diama scribe refers to "Oklahoma" as "the1 greatest box office hit In musical show history." No doubt this show will rate that description some day. But it doesn't now. It has yet to earn as much as that delightful musical comedy "Rose Marie". . . Am asked when the song "I'd Leave My Happy Home For You was in troduced and by whom. That's a real old timer. A Gay Nineties ditty I believe. Can't say who in troduced it. Horses A Los Angeles subscriber asks: Is there a city -where the bookmakers do not liimt their pay-offs to 15-to-l but pay full track odds on longshots?" As I have never been a patron of off-track bookmakers I cannot expert on this query. But from what I have heard about these extremely cautious fellows one who pays full track odds on all winners is extremely rare. How-j ever, I understand that In Re:io and Las Vegas, Nev., where the! bookies are legalized, there are: some who pay full track odds on j longshots.
