Joe's "Interview’ Inferesting
But Acts Reveal Soviet Policy
BY JAMES THRASHER
A first glance at Premier Stalin’s Pravda “in
terview?’ might have suggested that Mr. Stalin was
reading from the wrong script. Phrases like “policy
of aggression” and “policy of unleashing a new
war” are usually flung at his government, and with
apparent good reason. Now he was flinging them
back at the west, and a lot of people got excited
about it.
But he did more than toss phrases. He also
charged the American and British governments
with breaking agreements. One charge referred to
the arrangements made in Moscow on Aug. 30 for
lifting the Berlin blockade and at the same time
introducing the Soviei-zone mark as Berlin's only
legal currency. The other referred to, or rather
hinted at, a preliminary agreement on Berlin by
the UN Security Council members in Paris.
Both. these agreements, Mr. Stalin said, were de
clared “null and void” by the U. S. and Britain. He
said that the two governments repudiated their
representatives at the Moscow meetings in August
and violated the agreement because they had de
cided to refer the question to the Security Council.
He alsof implied that they welshed on the solution
reached in Paris. * o
Thoiu;q'! charges do not conform to the facts. .The
Moscow arrangement was subject to agreement by
the 'military governors in Berlin. Marshal
Sokolovsky, the Soviet commander, refused to live
up to Moscow’s end of the bargain outlined in the
August meetings. It was only after that that the
western governments announced their intention of
turning the Berlin problem over to the UN.
- Dri Juan Bramuglia of Argentina, acting presi
dent of the Security Council, said that there was
never any draft decision® which was agreed to by
the major powers and the six “neutral’” govern
ments which were trying to write a compromise
resolution.
~ Mr. Stalin probably knew, when he made those
charges, that they could and would be refuted. But
the réfutations would never be published in Rus
sia, of course. So it is reasonable to assume that the
wholé thing was whipped up for home consumption.
The reason why the usually aloof premier let go
with this blast may_ have been Mr. Vishinsky's
rather sorry showing at the veto session of the
'Baunail His excuses were lame, and hinged on
the L?éhnicalilies of precisely when the blockade
should be lifted. He gave no indication that his
gove¥nment really wanted an agreement or that
it intépded to pursue the matter further. It wasn’t
a ptigaz'nlance likely to impress anybody-—even
the Riissian people.
~ “That may be why the Soviet dictator cast*aside’
his xfe of “good old Joe® and spoke of the west as
he usually does for domestic audiences. About the
only difference this time was that handouts of his
quesfibn-and~answer session were given to rep
resentatives of the world's press assembled in Paris.
We doubt that the temperatyre of the cold war
is really much different as a result of his charges.
The hope of a German settlement is remote, just
as it was before. But unless the Kremlin's stategy
has been revised, any change in Russian policy will
probably manifest itself in actions, not in speeches.
A good grain mixture for chicken feed consists
of equal parts of corn, wheat and oats. This can
be varied with whatever is available locally. Corn
alone, with laying mash, is satisfactory.
Chromium is a hard metal but wears off easily
if serubbed with metal polish or any cleaning
powder. It needs washing in soapy water and
rinsing to keep it shining.

Eating A Mess Of Crow
Crow is not a very delicious food to
feast on, but sometimes men have to eat
it. We may have had oceasion sometimes
to eat crow, but never on such a scale as
that now being swallowed by the poll
sters. The cartoonist hit the nail squarely
on the head recently when he depicted
the broad smile on the face of the former
editor of the Literary Digest when he read
the results of the national election on Nov
ember 2nd. He just thought he would re
mind the pollsters that they had come
around to keep him company.
In the election of 1936 the polls taken
by the Literary Digest showed that Al
Landon would win in a sweeping victory
over Franklin D. Roosevelt. The result of
the election gave Landon only two states
in the Union, Maine and Vermont. The
Literary Digest couldnt’ take it and
folded up and went out of business.
Of course there is much jubilation
among the Democrats today, and Presi
dent Truman is naturally pleased.. But
very sensibly he is showing no dispasition
to crow over his defeated political oppo
nents. He is on the other hand calling on
them to rally around the government and
enable the United States to present a solic
front in the great world struggle for
peace and good government throughout
the world.
The pollsters and other political proph
ets were unanimous in their predictions oi
a Dewey landslide. They decided, how
ever, after the ballots haa been counted,
to give a big crow-eating banquet in honor
of President Truman at which the victo
rious candidate would be served turkey
and all the others would feast on crow.
Mr. Truman @eclined the invitation to
be the honor guest of the occasion, saying
that the pollsters had already suffered
enough and that he had no desire to crow
over them. There would have been mygrh
fun at such a banquet no doubt and it
would have called for chewwmg on a large
number of tough old crows, but the decis
ion of the President not to accept the in
vitation was a very wis2 one.
It is probable that it will be a long time
before the pollsters will crawl out on an
other limb only to have it sawed off be
low them. They have had their experience
and are no dount fully satisfied. They
have witnessed the application of scien
tific methods to the determination of how
the people of this country will cast their
votes in a presidential election. Science as
to the prediction of election returns can
now take a back seat for a considerable
length of time.
Their occupation is gone and while
they may not fold up as quickly and ef
fectively as the Literary Digest did in
1936 and while Dewey will go like Lan
don did into practical political obscurity.
they will not be as cocksure in future pre
dictions on any subject. Even George Gal
lup will begin to soft pedal. -
Serious Oversight
The United Mine Workers Journal says
that American organized labor, while nu
merically stronger than ever before, is
actually weaker than it was in 1932. It
lists, as the causes of this weakness, “in
ternal conflicts brought about by alleg
iance to political parties, city machine
politics, Commies boring from within and
employers’ almost unified opposition.”
Hey, wait a minute—the author forgot
something. How about that iniquitous,
perfidious slave labor bill, the Taft-Hart
lev Law? Isn’t that the source of ali
labor’s woes? Or can it be that the author
doesn’t read John L. Lewis’ speeches?
It is my earnest hope thal the day is
close by when every man and woman can
be judged upon proven abilities when
seeking a job.—Secretary of Labor Tobin,
criticizing those who discriminate against
job applicants who are physically handi
capped.
Your next administration will reject
the defeatist doctrine that our contry ig
fated to swing wildly from boom to bust.
—Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York.
America will cease te be America un
less we stop feeling sorrv for ourselves—
unless we stop blamine our troubles on
fate, or Communists, or the unions. or the
bosses—and get down to business.—Dr.

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND \
How Chancellor ;u:er Turned The Joke
On The Boys. ! mae!sZBRE),
BY T. w. keeD . :
In the earlier days of the Uni
versity of Georgia there was a
great tendency to elect Presbyte
rians as presidents of the institu
tion. From 1811 to 1859, a period
of forty-eight years that denomi
nation held was seemed to be a
vested right to the University
presidency. John Brown, Robert
Finley, Moses Waddell and Alon
zoo Church, all Presbyterian
preachers, directed the affairs of
the University in those days. The
other denominations fussed about
it, but couldn’t shake the.grip the
Presbyterians had on that office.
Then the Methodists took over
for fourteen years ‘under the
chancellorship of Andrew A.
Lipscomb. The Baptists were not
to be outdone, so in 1874, the new
president elected was Henry Hol
combe Tucker, eminent Baptist
preacher, succeeded four ' years
later by Chancellor Patrick H.
Mell, a great Baptist minister,
who served ten years ungil his
death in 1888, when the Presby
terians came back in 1888 with
the election of Ghancellor Willizam
E. Boggs, who served until 1898.
Up to that time the Chancel
lors and Presidents had been
preachers. The trustees decided
that they would quit electing
preachers, and went back to the
Methodists, selecting a great
Methodist lawyer, Walter B. Hill,
who served six years until his
death in 1905, followed by an
other great Methodist, who serv
ed nineteen years.
Since the coming of Chancellor
none of the Chancellors or pres
idents have been ministers of the
Gospel. Since the election of
Chancellor Barrow in 1906 all
have been chosen from the teach
ing profession, and since the
death of Chancellor Barrow all of
them, Charles M. Snelling, Stead
man V. Sanford and Harmon W.
Caldwell, prominent Baptist lay
men have filled the highest exe
cutive office in the University.
But I have strayed off from the
subject on which I intended to
write and must get back to it. It
was about Chancellor Tucker
that I started to write.
Chancellor Tucker served only
four years. He was a very able
man and one of combative nature.
He was a natural born fighter.
He soon tired of the position and
went back to preaching. In a
number of instances he did not
see eye to eye with the Trustees.
That is not to say that he failed
to do good work, for the Univer
sity prospered under his admin
istration.
In his day there was much op
position by the denominational!
colleges, Emory. and Mercer, and
though Chancellor Tucker was an’
ardent Baptist he never hesitated
in any of his lectures or ad
dAresses to take the hide off Mer
cer University as well as’Emoryl
College. |
Back there frequently the Chan
~ellor of the University would ad~
dress a joint session of the Geor
gia Senate and House of Repre
sentatives on the needs of the
University. -
Some of the Methodists and
Baptists had advised parents who
wanted to send their boys to hell,
to send them to the University of
Georgia where they would be
given advice as to how to reach
that hot climate. That made
“hancellor Tucker good and ma&
‘He was a master of the use o
Jirony in his addresses. So in an
}address to the legislature he ad
mitted that this charge was true.
‘His address and if he didn’t make
his brother Methodist and Bap
tist preachers ashamed of them
celves ,he at least convinced the
legislature.
’ He enumerated the eminent men
‘sent on their way to hell by the
University. He asserted that on
account of the training they re
ceived at the University'those
who had died were roasting in
the burning pit 01l fire and brim
tone and that the parents were
vesponsible for the fate. Among
‘hose who had been sent on their
way to hell were Bishop George
Toster Pierce, the great Methodist
Bishop and said he could expect
‘hat fiery punishment had his
narents kept him away from the
avil surroundings at the Universi
‘y. A like fate could have been
averted for e great Baptist,
Shaler G. Hillyer had be been
kept away from the University. He
‘went on to mention such men as
Alexander H. Stephens, Howell
Cobb, Tom Cobb, John LeConte,
Joseph LeConte, Benjamin M.
Palmer, William H. Felton, J. L.
M. Curry, Benjamin H. Hill, John
B. Gordon, Henry W. Grady and

scores of others who might have
escaped the tortures of the damn
'ed if their parents had had sense
enough to pick out the right col
lege for thern. So Chancellor
Tucker advised all parents to send
their boys to the University and
insure them a sound passport to
the kingdom of Satan.
But all of this has strayed from
a certain incident I wished to
write about. Chancellor - Tucker
had a great deal of fun in him as
well as a combative spirit and the
use of ridicule and irony. The boys
liked him when he cracked jokes
with them at their expense.
' One day he had written across
the blackboard this announcement:
} CHANCELLOR TUCKER WILL
'MEET HIS CLASSES AT ELEV
EN OCLOCK.
The boys filed into the room for
the usual early morning session
and saw that announcement on the
blackboard.
One of their number picked up
an eraser ahd rubbed out one let
ter so as to make the anngunce
ment read:
CHANCELLOR TUCKER WILL
MEET HIS LASSES AT ELEVEN
O'CLOCK.
When Chancellor Tuecker enter
ed the room and was about to
start his lecture, he saw the an
nouncement and realized that
some devilish students had chang
ed it. Now he couldn’t let it stand
uncorrected as there were no
“lassies” in the University and he
was not going to meet any of them
at eleven o’clock.
He never batted an eye; he
didn’t laugh at the joke he never
uttered a word about it. He sim
ply took up the eraser and rubbed
out one more letter so that the an
nouncement read:
CHANCELLOR TUCKER WILL
MEET HIS ASSES AT ELEVEN
O'CLOCK.
It is not recorded how much
braying resounded at the meeting
or how long were the ears that
sprouted on the heads of the bray
ing asses in his classroom when
he met them.
Those who are keeping a flock
of mongrels should dispose of the
whole lot and plani to get started
with good chicks in late winter
or early spring.
If you have a flock of layers
and are not able or willing to buy
iaying mash, you are wasting
your time and the feed you are
giving them.
