Mayne hit something earlier
in the evening which has been
amusing to watch and that is: if
you are a Democrat and don't
like Roosevelt, where in heaven's
name do you stand at the ballot?
3Iayne's answer: traditional alle

youth's support.
If campus political groups or
ganize this winter into active
groups, it will be interesting to
see how many young politicians
subscribe to Mayne's forward-
looking ideas.

Nelson said : "This four reel
film was not censored by . the
Russian government, having
been developed only after the
return to America. It is not for
or against the experiment be
ing carried on in Russia, but
furnishes some material on
which to base judgments, and
helps to make one more at home
in his talking and thinking about
Russia, its government and
people."
