LITVINOFF . . . Russian visitor
Maxim Litvinoff, the Foreign Mil
ister of the Soviet government, w?
has come to America at Presidei
Roosevelt's invitation to talk over tl
recognition of Russia, the Russia
debts to America and other thing
is one of the world's remarkaoie.
Polish Jew (his name used to be Fu
klestein) he lived for years in Edi
land, employed as a traveling sale;
man. and married an English gu
Ivy Ix>w, daughter of a leading LjOI
don lawyer.
He was one of the earliest leadei
of the Russian Revolution. He speafc
four languages, is afraid of nobody
and has made a great impression i
every international conference he ha
attended.
Ldtvinoff plays the game of dlpl(
mack frankly and in the open. He ha
no use for diplomats who bear aboi
the bush and wait for instruction
from home hexV.ie 'hey agree to an>
.
I have a 'hat this vf&rtu
from Russia and President Koosevei
will hit it off together.
TOBACCO ... as money
In the essay Coionial days tobac.e
was money in Virginia and Marylanc
It was the chief commodity exporter
to England, as beaver skins were Ne*
England's principal item of foreign
trade; and like beaver skins, tubac
co was the measure of all value?
There was no gold cr silver, no otto
er easily concentrated transroismbl
form of wealth
The Colony of Maryland built i
State House at St. Mary's City u
1634 and paid Tor it, ot course, wit!
tobacco. It took 300,000 pounds o
51 to out up the structure 259 year:
ago. Now the State cf Maryland :
going to rebuild the olcl State Hbusi
fnim the nriirinn! nlono
? -?- ? <.ug uiu miu-J
big has vanished but plans and drawings
of it remain. It will cost JUS,WIU
And that works out at only tUB.ttt2-3
pounds of tobacco at the curren
price for the Maryland crop, of I!
cents a pound.
If Maryland had remained on Lhi
tobacco standard everybody would r
sayinc- that money was too high ani
there would be a demand lor infla
tton of the currency!

FAIR . . . again next year
It is gcod news that the Century
of Progress Exposition hi Ctiicagi
is to be reopened in the spring foi
smother season. It has been the great
est success ever achieved by any
World's Fair. More people have en
tered its gates than ever paid ail
mission to anything before.
That is really amazing, and prooi
that everybody i3 not quite an hart
up as one. might imagine merely iron
reading the newspaper accounts o;
distress and suffering. And wit:
times getting better, another 20,000,
000 Americans ought to go to Chica
go next year and see what they
missed in 1933.
I know several persons who havt
told me they intended to go ngau
and take their families. I have nt
doubt that next year's attendance v/11
exceed this year's. For 1 hove ye:
lo meet anyone who saw the Cen
tury of Progress this year who die
not praise it.

Commercialized _ entertainment ha.
given most of the "young people toda;
a false idea of what to do with teis
ure time. Going to the movies or driv
ing around in automobiles are ta
principal means of amusement amonj
a large percentage.
They do not understand how any
one can spend their leisure time hap
pily without also spending money
Yet the happiest people I know ar
those who spend their leisure in thing
that cost them nothing.
I know one boy who has spent nl
spare time for more than p. year l
the American Museum of Nature
History; another who devotes ever;
spare daylight hour and some night
to finding out all he can about th
animals, birds, trees and plants with
in a mile of his home.
The happiest man I know 13 s
interested in his job that he spend
all of his own time trying to lear
about the business in which he is em
ployed. It takes mast of us a ion
time, though, to learn that napp:
ncss can't be bought. It has to B
nnrsued
ENTHUSIASM . . . and dollars
It is the easiest thing in the wori
to get everybody all stirred up em<
tionally over almost any new thinj
It is the hardest thing in the worl
to get them to hack up their cntni
siasm with their dollars.
1 have seen a dozen national movi
ments started with a great hurra;
but the only ones I recall that wet
over with a bank were when wt wei
being stirred up to go to war. Pri
hibition?and its repeal?took yea;
of education and underground poll
