TRADE WITH RUSSIA
The Moscow agreements, the
Connally Resolution and Premier
Stalin’s speech on the October
Revolution anniversary have
helped diminish the fear of
“What Russia is going to do” that
has perturbed a good many
Americans. And a further cause
to breathe easy is found in a
speech made on the occasion of
the anniversary by Ernest C.
Roper, Russian specialist in the
Department of Commerce.
Mr. Roper made a plausible and
encouraging prediction of in
creased trade between the United
States and the Soviet Union aft
er hostilities cease—or perh?,-''
even before. The prospects of
suph a trade augur good nations.
For it should be borne in mind
that, w^iile Russia’s military suc
cesses will command respect and
deference at the peace table, Rus
sia will also need our help in the
early days of peace, and will
doubtless try to avoid any dif
ference serious enough to imperil
that help.
* * *
Much of Russia’s best land,
much of her industry and many
of her important cities have been
devastated. Property in uncount
ed millions of dollars has been
destroyed- Much must be replac
ed as quickly as possible before
normal and ordinary life can re
sume.
Mr. Roper mentions such items
as machine tools, equipment for
oil wells and refineries, electri
cal installations, and manufac
turing plants of all kinds. He also
puts forth the possibility that
Russia might modify a long
standing policy and begin im
porting consumers’ as well as
producers' goods—such things as
American automobiles, refriger
ators and vacuum cleaners.
■ * * *
Russia will naturally trade
with other countries, too, and
that trade will be welcomed and
r
cultivated. But it is a known fact
that the United States stands in
highest favor with the Soviets
among the nations that have
helped them toward industrial
modernization. Russian industry
is modeled on American lines.
American engineers, chemists and
other experts have made friends
with the Russians and have won
their respect.
All this is important in a na
tion where the government runs I
TTTTTTTTTTTTT’TTTTTTTTTTTl
business as well as foreign af
fairs. It tends to clear the at
, mosphere of fear of the “Red
menace”. — (Anchorage Times).
JUST A SONG
BY THE FIRE
When friends have gathered
before a fireplace and the logs
have burned from crackle to em
i bers, there comes a time in the
evening when some one starts a
song. It may be a recent hit
fresh from the ether or a school
song they all know. If they are
| old friends the chances are more
; in favor of “Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot” or ‘‘I’ve Been Working
on the Railroad.” If they arc
very old friends then each knows
the other’s favorites and their al
lotted place in the informal se
quence. When the singing ends
and the guests have gone, host
i and hostess sit before the last of
the fire and reflect that the world
is worth saving after all.
Quite unconsciously it has ta
ken years of song to make one of
those evenings possible. A haunt
ing melody heard at a college in
augural may have been stored
away in grateful recollection. A
familiar hymn may have been
thundered forth at the Sunday
evening service of an. old New
England school. A blue-rabed fe
male choir may have sung at a
memorial service in a New York
auditorium. Wherever the sing
ing occurred it lifted the spirit
and built into the memory a tune
to be shared with friends some
future evening before a fire.
With thermostats low this com
ing winter there should be many
such evenings, if wood is avail
able.—(New Yojrk Herald-Trib
une.)

•‘The Complete Works of Shake
speare,” in three volumes (Mod
ern Library; each $.95).
For a long time this country
has needed another ‘‘complete
Shakespeare.” There are a good
many of these m existence, but
they mostly have one or another
: of two bad faults—they are
! either too expensive, or they are
too cheap in all senses of the
term.
This year the eager gentelmen
| who run the Modern Library on,
Fifty-Second street, far from
Publishers’ Row in New York,
have outdone themselves. It
' seems to me that the publication
of their three-volume Shake
speare i‘s a publishing event of
importance, and a pretty compe
tent service to the general pub
lic. It comes, too, at a good
time because the woods are full
of a great many useless books
these days in spite of the paper
shortage and the seriousness of
the world situation.
In order to present the vast
sweep of Shakespeare’s genius
they have eliminated a number
of possible publications — only
so much paper was available.
♦
But somehow, enough paper was
found, and by good luck it is not
such thin paper that the print
ing on the other side is visible
in reverse. It does show through
a bit, but I did not find reading
difficult, and the type is large
enough for the average eye to
follow it comfortably.
The division is most logical.
In one volume the 14 comedies
are segregated; in another the
13 tragedies, and in the third
are the seven histories and the
delicious oddments. Each vol
ume is annotated and furnished
with.a glossary—it seems a little
strange to me that there is no
indication in the books of the
source of the notes, but they are
scholarly enough for average
use and not so copious as to be
a distraction.
Minor details are happily
worked out. The margins are
wide enough so that the pages
look comfortable, for one thing.
The scenes are not jammed too
closely together, although to be
truthful, there is no great
amount of white space wasted.
And the books themselves are
chunky, but surprisingly light.
The three volumes might make
a considerable weight in a sol
dier’s pack, but one volume
could be managed without too
much trouble.
I suspect this is the book bar
gain of the year.
The Nugget. $16.00 per year.
