SHORTWAVES
PPP PPPPPPPPLPe TRANGE is the vigour in a brave man’s soul, The strength of his spirit and his irresistible power, the greatness of his heart and the height of his condition, his mighty confidence and contempt of dangers, his true security and repose in himself, his liberty to dare and do, his alacrity in the midst of fears, his invincible temper, are advantages which make him master of fortune. His courage fits him for all attempts, makes him serviceable to God and man, and makes him the bulwark and defence of hig being and country.-Traherne. Ea * % ] HAVE led several people to the discovery of a wide range of literature by an open confession that Milton’s longer poems bore me stiff.-Dr, Temple, Archbishop of York. * * * yet us give thanks for the powerlessness of action to control thought — which is the ultimate victory of wise men over fools.-James Hilton. * * % ‘THE detective story is a kind of intellectual game, It is more-it is also a sporting event. And the author must play fair with the reader.-S: S. Van Dine. * * * TALIN is content to sit in the driver’s seat while Comrade Molotov plays barker, describing for all who will listen the new landscape of the Soviet foreign policy, doing as best he can to make Russian Imperialism and Marxist Utopia meet. — Robert Strausz-Hupé. * * * DALADIER has no interest in money: He lives on his salary, and has never been. touched by financial or other scandal. He likes good food and lots of it. He smokes moderately, mostly a pipe. He drinks as any normal Frenchman drinks. — John Gunther. * * * ERR HITLER’S purpose, when he makes a statement in a public speech, is completely different from the purpose that people like ourselves have, when we make a statement. When you or I make a statement, we do so in order to tell somebody something, and for us the most important thing about it is whether it is true or not. But Herr -Hitler’s purpose-his conscious and deliberate pur-pose-is not to tell people anything, but to make them do something.-W. A. Sinclair in "The Listener." ig -s ad
