The Cold War Reaches Zero
By Daniel Bishop, St. Louis Star-Times

Russian News
Stalin brands the United States and other Western Powers as "inspirers of an aggressive policy toward the U.S.S.R." His remarks were reported by an able newspaperman, Eddie Gilmore, chief of the Associated Press bureau in the Soviet Union.
American readers should be cautious before accepting Stalin's word as gospel. It should be placed in its proper light as an attempt to boost Henry Wallace. Wallace, of course, followed the party line in his campaign, after receiving the blessing of Stalin earlier in the year.
More reason to doubt the accuracy and sincerity of the pronouncement lies in the fact that Gilmore's release was transmitted after censorship by the Soviet government. Recently, H. E. Crondkite, who was United Press bureau chief in Moscow for two years, returned to this country. He indicated that foreign correspondents have no control over transmission of stories from inside Russia.
All dispatches, he explained, are given to censors in triplicate by foreign newspaper writers. The originators of the stories never see their work after this time. Consequently, they have no knowledge of how the stories are changed by Russian censors before being put on the wire. In addition, Crondkite said, it is a common practice for the Russians to change a meaning by the mere deletion of a word, phrase, or sentence. It is his belief that no release from Moscow can be judged accurate, notwithstanding the high reputation of the reporter who handled the original story. —Fred Kiewit.
- Letters To The Editor -
Lawyer's Canes
To the Kansan:
You raise the question of the origin of the senior lawyers' most honorable and exalted custom of carrying canes. I believe I can tell you of the origin of this tradition for I think it dates from the "Ise-Age"—the senior law class of 1911.
I remember it well. On the day the boys first brought their emblems of dignity to class, they dropped them too often. Dr. Burdick finally suggested that men who carried canes were usually lame either in the legs or in the head.
I was the only one who had an alibi.
John Ise Law, 1911

Idealists
Dear Editor:
I have read several articles in the Daily Kansan, the Dove, and other campus periodicals which show a liberal loading of idealism regarding world affairs and world peace. Idealism is a good thing. We strive to make life better by it. But it isn't a good thing when it forces us to live under monstrous illusions.
Why don't you starry-eyed peace dreamers, One Worldists, Wallaceites, Socialists and Isolationists take a good course like "Fundamentals of National Power" and find out what is really going on in the world?

English Buy Rare Books;
Fear Pound May Lose Value
Los Angeles-(UP)-In England, many people are investing in rare books because they feel that the pound may be devalued, report Miss Ellen Shaffer, whose business is lecturing on rare volumes for the University of California's extension here.
Although many hard-to-get editions were lost or damaged by the air raids, London is still the world's rare book center, Miss Shaffer says.
Annual weeds cause a greater loss in reduced crop yields each year than perennial weeds.
