However, when he boasts that "the white flag has been hoisted on the bastions of world sanctlonism," he becomes a little excessive. Real sanctionism was not tried because of differences between the Powers.

In the last analysis the surrender of the world which Mussolini celebrates was the decision of Great Britain not to risk war. But it is always premature to discount the power of Great Britain. Mussolini should reread the history of a man named Napoleon and of the place called Waterloo. npHE American Federation has deferred action on the move to oust the 12 unions that have been backing John L.

The woman, spectators said, knocked down a loaded revolver from the hand of a stocky, full-faced man who aimed it at the King as he rode at the head of troops to Buckingham Palace. In a violent scuffle the weapon was precipitated into the roadway.

Police took the assassin into custody. The prisoner's name was given by police as George Andrew Mahon, described as a newspaperman. He was charged with intent to endanger the King's Ufa and with unlawful possession of a firearm. Authorities described him as middle-aged, slightly bald and seemingly club-footed. He limped to the dock in Bow St.

MAJOR EDWARD BOWES is always helpful. Yesterday he substituted for Jo Ranson, Eagle Radio editor, and wrote an Interesting column for the Radio Dial Log. Major Bowes has made the radio the Instrumentality for giving talented young people the thing they most crave and need. Opportunity. And he makes it all Interesting.

He has turned the old-fashioned Amateur Night, which was at best a sadistic affair, based on the delight caused by the suffering of the luckless, into something both entertaining and helpful. rE Bowes Amateur Hour Is the most successful program of its kind ever conceived but he has no monopoly and wants none. The Eagle is conducting a Radio Talent Poll just now which is proving to be as successful as its Tercentenary Personality Contest. But why should entertainers have all the opportunities offered amateurs or beginners? Why shouldn't there be more opportunity contests for young people who aspire to be something besides entertainers? Why shouldn't the crafts, all branches of learning, the arts, sciences and professions, do more to encourage novices who need help? JAMES H. POST Is giving a luncheon today at the St.
