His three children—two | .girls and a boy, of college age —all work on the paper in the summertime. “They take to it | like ducks to water,” Woods says elatedly. p Rufus has a twin brother, Ralph, who is a lawyer in ‘Ta- | coma. . They are very close, and look terribly alike. One brother often goes to keep .the other brother's appointment, and thus get people thoroughly mixed up. They pulled that one on me (I'd never even heard. of Ralph : before) and I was completely befuddled. “One of their favorite stunts is for one to go into a restaurant eat his meal, and then slip out. The other brother quickly slips in, says. the food was no good and demands another meal. The poor, waitress is always so balled up she brings it. When: the brothers are together, they understand each other so closely that they actually speak only about .half their thoughts, and their conversation

to his ears, and

Rufus’ impetuosity leads him into occasional poor business deals, and a publisher's inevitable lawsuits. When things like that pile up he just takes a boat to Alaska, and when he gets back, calm twin-brother Ralph has it all smoothed over. Years ago, Rufus got interested in the Russian experiment. He has made three trips to Russia since then. He has been down into the Ukraine: twice, and was in Vienna during the Anschluss. He: speaks Some Cepman. He has seen Hitler, but never talked 0

It Seems to Me

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Everybody speaks of the coming debate in the Congress as a battle over American neutrality. This suggests that one bloc wishes America to take an attitude which will favor no nation now involved in conflict; while the: other. is desirous of a position distinctly helpful to one side or the other. This is not accurate. No potential measure yet has been mentioned which would be neutral. In fact, I do not see how such a system could possibly be devised. This is true of many other nations as well as the ‘United States. If neutrality could be achieved by .the stroke of a pen, the thrifty Dutch and Swiss and Danes would. hardly be standing under arms along their borders.

* Whatever America does will Help one.side and hurt

the other. But in this situation Hitler has one considerable advantage.: If the Congress chooses to adopt a_course .favorable .to the interests of the Reich and punishing to France and England, I take it that very féw fear that such action on our part may eventually drag’ us into/the war on the side of Germany "(or possibly Gefmany and Russia) sgainst ‘the Allies. °°

” ” »

A Logical Argument

# ‘on *the other ‘hand, there is a lively fear that if the Government ofthe United States does anything to displease- the Fuehrer that the Nazis may engage in some retaliatory action. Indeed, the German: press and radio frequently have suggested as much. This idea is strikingly expressed in an editorial in the New York Daily Mirror which says: “If the arms embargo were lifted, England and Frarce controlling thé seas, could buy from us. Our guns, our’ bullets, would be used to kill Germans. Germans

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Henry Ford says the present Neutrality Act is “foolproof” and that “if we change it one iota we take the first step toward getting the country into war.” I have driven ‘Mr. Ford's automobiles for years and I also have read over again the existing Neutrality Act. I am more ready te trust Mr. Ford's judgment about automobiles than about safeguards against becoming involved in war. Mr. Ford, like thousands of

others opposed to repeal of the arms embargo, seems blissfully

ignorant of the fact that at this"

moment there is no restriction -whatever on American = ships & carrying all kinds of supplies to a belligerents — everything except strictly defined. arms, amunition and implements of war. The Germans list oil as contraband. American ships can carry oil right through the submarine zones into belligerent ports, for all that this “foolproof” Neutrality Law can do to prévent them. The cash-and-carry provision expired last May. That traffic now is wide open—a glaring -door to danger which stands as a daily menace.

Catchwords Are Dangerous

Most of the uniformed propaganda against repeal completely ignores this danger, © And a good deal of the propaganda coming in here is inspired but uninformed. A week ago Sunday, for instance, priests in a number of Brooklyn, N. Y., churches, read as part - of their sermons passages which curiously resembled the line which Father Coughlin took in his broadcast a few hours later. The priests directed their parishjoners fo write their Senators and’ Represenisiives

Jefferson and the Pirates

For more than 200 years the Christian nations paid tribute to Tripoli for the protection of their commerce. Thomas Jefferson opposed this surrender of

our ‘rights while he was a member of Washington's!

Cabinet. But they were not ended until Jefferson himself became President more than a decade: later and sent Stephen Decatur to end the tribute. I suppose there is some record of the arguments; which’ Jefferson’ successfully employed dgainst the Borahs of his day, and certainly there is much in

to peace does not lie through appeasement. Germany much prefers the embargo to the cash and carry. plan. But the German press has also intimated that even the set-up” drranged by the American appeasémefit group is not wholly to its fancy. If we make concessions in the traditional practice of .neutrality in the hope of avoiding the ire of. the Reich ‘we have no guarantee that the Germans may not ask for more and more. * And that is where the war danger lies. Presently we might have nn more Sudetens to sacrifice. ‘I think Jefferson offers sounder counsel than Borah, .

opposing repeal of the embargo. Leaving mass that morning, Alfred E. Smith was indignant and told friends he had never seen such political misuse of the pulpit. = The menace of these organized drives is that they move on catchwords. They obscure, rather than clarify, the question at issue. Energetic and competent work will be required to get across to the country the fact that the new Neutrality Bill drafted in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is, despite its repeal of the arms embargo, a much lighter measure than the existing law. The new draft has a much more forcible cash-and: carry provision than the one which expired last May. In this draft, application of cash-and-carry safeguards is made mandatory. and is not left; as before, to the discretion of the President. Furthermore it must apply to all traffic, forbitiding American vessels to carry either passengers or any kind-of freight to belligerents. » ” 2

Publicity Further . Safeguard

Also a further safeguard empowers the President to

enter. Financial safeguards are tightened. Shortterm credits are limited to 90 days and may not: be renewed, thus closing a barn door in the existing law.

such credits. Powers of the Munitions Control Board are strengthened to require all exporters of arms, ammunitions and implements of war to submit the names of purchasers and terms of sale. Then ‘each six months the board is to report to Congress the names of exporters and purchasers and terms of sale. No law can of itself keep us out of war. But the new draft seems to throw the utmost safeguards around ourselves. It is more likely to be helpful in keeping: us out of war than the present loosely, drawn act. :

Stalin—World's Most

Powerful Man

By Willis Thornton

NEA Service Staff Correspondent

oo»

OSEPH VISSARIONOVICH DJUGASHVILI is probably at the moment the most powerful man in the world. He" is not even head of a state, but simply the secretary of a

party.

But Djugashvili is better known as Stalin; the state is Russia, and the party is the Communist Party of the Union

of Soviet Socialist Republics.

As general secretary of ‘that party, he is in prac-, tice its leader, and since it is the only legal party i in Russia, he is the political leader of 175,000,000 people in‘1l federated regions including one-seventh of the land area of the

world, stretching = across ‘two continents from the ‘North Pacific to the Gulf of Finland, and from the Arctic to the Black Sea.

control - over’ the “independent” Soviet Republic of Inner Mon.golia, and has just “placed under his protection” an unknown number of , people who formerly ‘were in Poland. Stalin has had less formal education, less acquaintance with European culture, music, or the “arts, than: any of his colleagues. Even today he speaks: no sEuro= pean language, and speaks ‘even Russian with a Pronounced Georgian accent. Yet in his patient way he outlasted such brilliant -men as Trot-. sky, Radek, Kamenev, Rakowski, Bukharin and Rykov, and became first ‘among them. When the time’ came when such old associates in the ‘cause were in his. way, .he had them shot without emotion.

NTALIN was born in Gori in 1879, son of a man who worked in the local boot factory. His father wanted him also to become a bootmaker, but his mother had higher ambitions. When.the family moved to ‘Tiflis, she entered the

boy, at 14, in the Greek Orthodox .

Seminary there, a usual preliminary to the priesthood. Five years later she removed him for reasons, as she said, of his health. ‘In any case,’ he did not appear to fit-into the life of the students, and went to work in the railroad "shops. Thete he came in contact

At Tiflis and Batum he organ‘ized ‘strikes and agitated for the revolution. It was .a hard life, for ‘the’ party paid small wages, and the secret police hounded him from town to town. Between 1902 and 1917 he was’ arrested at least eight times, and spent eight years either in prison ‘or in the: Crar’s concentration “camps. x? 8 x ®' HC € HAL already in exile in Siberia when the Social Democratic Party split into two groups. :One of these, under ‘the leadership of Lenin, later became the Bolsheviki. Each time he: was released or escaped from prison or. Siberian exile, Stalin returned. immediate--ly to revolutionary agitation. When the outbreak of the World War in 1914 temporarily paralyzed the revolutionar movement throughout Europe, he was in Siberia. -In March, 1917, the democratic revolution overthrew the Czar’s "tottering government and Stalin’ returned from ‘Siberia. His first wife, Katherine, was dead. The revolutionaries in charge . were not his brand of revolutionaries.

organized a local cheka or secret

police to establish order. Stalin was made president of the Workmen's and Peasants’ Inspection Office. He helped organ‘ize the Red Army, aided by Voroshilov and Budyeni. Here began the feud with Trotsky, Field Marshal of the [Civil War, which. ‘has continued td this day. The: manner: of Stalin's succession to’ Lenin’s, mantle is again a matter of acrid dispute between Communist. factions. In any event, after Lenin's death in 1924 Stalin became Bolshevik No. 1. From that moment Trotsky was doomed. He was exiled in 1927. From that moment, Stalin was the unchallenged mas. ter of Russia.
