between Germany and Japan directed against tire Soviet Union. In return, 1." any such evidence is tortheoming, the institute will procied at onee to endeavor to ascertain what would bo tire attitude of the United States and Great Britain in the face of such a coalition. The utmost importance is being attached by -'ffi< ials of the institute to the participation this year of the Sovet Union in the session. Not only will this he the first time that the Soviet has elected to play a definite role in the deliberaions of the institute, hut it will constitute also their first step toward collaboration with the Pacific nations. While the Soviets, institute offi-ci.-ls point out. have been in direct contact with European nations tlraugh their membership in the League of Nations, this will Ire the first time they have been brought i ito collaboration with rho nations j bordering the PacifuThe importance which the institute is attaching to the presence of the Soviet delegates this year >s indicated by tbo fact that on the agenda there has been prepared a list of 50 questions or subjects, on which the Russian delegates will be asked to clari-
The institute will go into some detail with regard to the effect of the two five-year plans. One of the first [x-rtinent questions which the Soviet delegates will be asked to discuss will be what factors make for the interdependence of the Far Eastern district with the Union as a whole, or in other words, to ; what extent can the far eastern district be made self-sufficient The institute is prepared to ask whether the resources of the far eastern district are vital to the U. S. R. R. for elomestic economy, foreign trade and defense or not. The question is admitted to be two-sided, for if thr far eastern district is not necessary to Russia there might not lx too many objections to its occupation by Japan, while if its resources are such as to make it self-sufficient from every point of view it might became a menace to Japan. The institute has made it known that it will be particularly interested in what influence the Japanese invasion of Manchuria has h« I on Russian development of the far eastern district, such as the double-tracking of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Specifically. it wants to know whether the development of the Pacific por-
tion of tne Russian empire has been faster since the Japanese invasion of 1951 than purely econcmic r easons would have demanded. The Institute also will take up the nationality policy of the Soviets, which it is convinced will have a marked influence in the development of Russia toward the Pacific coast and in territories which "t the present time are not Russian. Russia, the institute points out. has hundreds of national minorities. As long as these accept the Soviet economic system they are allowed to retain their own language, laws and customs and education, and in fact th ar minority integrity. But what the institute realy wants to know from the Soviet delegates is what this influence this system of nationality policy is having on certain kinsmen of these minorities such as the inhabitants of Afghanistan, China and Manchuria, wb'ch are out1 Ale the present territorial limits of Soviet Russia. The real study of the institute as regards the future position of the Soviet as one of the Pacific nations wil! conic when it takes tip the problem of the international impi aliens involved in all of the national policies of the Soviet Union. In the first place, it will ask in what way the industrialization of the Soviet far cast, under its own peculiar state economic system, is likely to affect Soviet Pacific trade and whether a growing trade is likely to be established among the United States, China and Japan. In addition, the institute will endeavor to ascertain whether the industrialization of Siberia and the shift to the cast of the i c.onomic center of the Soviet Union »vill mean the appearance of the latter as a serious competitor for the markets of the Pacific.

CHAPTER II •XMIROUGH It all lie continued to ^ live a sort of hand-to-mouth existence that bad no future. In fact, curiously enough. It was this privation that actually kept him alive for 100.000.000 admirers today. At one time Fields somehow found himself elected secretary of die Orlando Social club. He didn't care much about the duties or the organization. but the job did give him a place to sleep. The club quarters were over a livery stable, a big, bare room that had a huge door opening onto nothing hot thin air. In the summer, with the door open. It was comfortable. In the winter it |
treated cold. While he was still secretary to the Orlando Social club. Fields got his first ami only real job not connected with (he theater. He had done odd Jobs here and there, but this was a real position. Ho becamo assistant to the driver of an Ice wagon. The pay was small but It was at least regular and Fields was happy, comparatively, except for one thing. The shrill, catastrophic ringing of an alarm clock sent him stumbling out of bed each morning at 4:30 o'clock. He had to report at the Ice factory at live.

From his first pay rhimU the management deducted $1 Mi commission. for being so kind as lo give him a job. lie hail spent sixty cent* daily in car fare going lo ami from the park. In short.

was freezing cold. Fields, without 1 blankets, managed to gel some warmth, lie stuffed burlap sacks with straw and nailed them to the door. At night he would remove the door from its hinges, spread it across two or more chairs, and sleep. Snow, sleet and rain (lurried In the doorway. In the mornings Fields would awaken, almost frozen, lie would stay lu the building until the sun — when it came out — had warmed the boards in the fence that surrounded the building. Then he would go downstairs, stand against the boards, and absorb this scant heat from the fence. Years later, In Germany, Fields was 111. He called In a doctor who examined him carefully and asked If the comedian ever had had tuberculosis Fields had no recollection of having had the disease. After days of questioning and Investigating. the disllngulshed physician—and he was an outstanding fuember of the medical profession — flnal'y solved the riddle. Fields actually had suffered from tuberculosis. Rut the cold, the Icy blasts he had encountered, and shrugged off as a matter of course in his early teens had kept him from succumbing to the disease. Privation had preserved Fields for posterity. Today tuberculosis patients frequently are |
Those early hours were the bane of his existence. Having acquired a bed. Fields was in no mood to abandon it at such early hours. Me had gone without hods so long that to really he able to sleep in one was an event. Carefully he studied the field. After examining all the various occupations he decided that only two professions were open to ambitious youngsters who liked to sleep late. These were banking and the theater. After covertly watching a few bankers at work. Fields hurriedly abandoned all Ideas of going to work in a financial institution. Bankers, It appeared, were too “nice." They had to he dressed up all the time, wore collars and ties and In other ways were harassed by many necessary evils. Thus there remained for our hero only the theater, and the theater, to Fields, meant just one thing— juggling. He had been practicing incessantly, lie had a few good routines and believed ho could handle a job. Ho was just 15 and he answered an ad. An amusement park at Norristown, just outside of Philadelphia, was lining up a new hill. Fields applied. showed his juggling act and was hired—for the munificent sum
