larly entliusla.slic writer SuRf10Sl9'l that Her Majesty should visit Fraiicc ”at least once a year."

Relations between Britain and France have never been more corti- lal than they arc at the presciil 1101"- 1'l1i.s fact. no doubt. f'0ntriliuteri 1-1 the warnilli with which the QUC0" and her hiishaiirl were received by all classes of 1-'renr'hineii. Another rr-iitiibutiii: factor was the ',tuecn'.s nepggnai cliarni As one writer put it. "majesty is stamped on her face." Rut the main reason probably E005 deeper than either of these circum- stances. Although France is a Re- public. French people in general are ox-trnnir-ly romantic by nature. inucli more so than the British people as 3 whole. And. while Rcpuhlit'aIiiSIlI may be an efficient and very demo- cratic form of government, there. is little in it to appeal to roman”? fanriris. llloiiarchy, on the other hand. is steeped in roiiiance. That perhaps is its greatest sti'Nlf!lll-

it isn't iikply that the French inoiiarcliy will ever be restored. Rut it is not entirely fanciful to surinisc that perhaps a Rritisli-Frencli union might come about in clue course. that what F-Inszlish sovereigns of the past were unable to perpetuate lw inrrv of arms and intrigue inigltl iery well he acliieverl by a common an-anon in an idea which has never been serioiisly damaged in Britain and which. eveii after more than a cciitury of netllcet. is VNIV much alivp across the channel.

ft would be wrong to say that this could never be. A union of the fun roiinlries. with 1-Ilizabetli lhc Inl'r!rPit;t1 lieacl of both anti with each r'.'-irrying on its own ciistomary parliamentary system. could easily be r"lex'i.sNi. ii'ho knows? llistnry nficn works in devious and unev- iiected ways.

The Battle Of Books

it is often said that the "cold war" that is being waged between the Soviet Union and the Free World is a battle for men's minds. How. then, is the battle shaping up? Well. a report issued by the l.'nitecl Na- tions Educatioiial. Scientific and Cul- tural Organizatinii is, to say the least. far from reassuring to free men. It states. first of all. that the Bible is no longer the most widely circulated book. From 1948 to 193-"! it was published in 887 translations: and in 19.33. the last year covered by the report, there were fill trans- latinns. These figures were exceeded in the 2 year period by the writings of the Russian Revolutionary Lenin. which went through 968 translations. R71 tr:m.slations took place ill the year 19.33.

As if this were not bad enough. third. fourth and fifth places were taken by Russian writers. Stalin's it orks VP('PlVf',fli' 689 translations since 1948 and 200 in 1933. in fourth and fifth places were the novelists Tols- toy and ('.orki. I

Nor is the picture my more en- cvturairin: with P059991 '0 "limb" of books published. In 1933. 5 billion books of one kind and another came on the world's presses. Of these. Russian titles accounted for more than 1 trillion. thus faking first place with 54.000 titles. Japan came sec- and with 21.0fXt titles, the United Klnulom third with 20.000. West C-erinnriy fourth with 16.000. Sur- prisingly the United States produced

I Inetc 121!!! titles. p Ii must not be supposed that all

iifiitl,

the Middii East. In all. 157 titles were published in languages not spoken anywhere in the soviet bloc.

There is some suspicion abroad that UNESCO is unduly influenced by Soviet propagandists. if that is so, the figures given in the repoit may have been stretched a little in favor of the Russians. Even so. and allowing for an exaggeratioii here and there. the figures certainly do not justify Western complacency in this highly important field.

A Fable

('ii't-iinislances alter cases. Sonic months ago the Lutheran Church of West Germany---the Republic's larc- rwt was invited to hold its annual cmiiciitiori in Communist F.:ist (Ler- iiiaiw. This was seen by (lliurt-li leudcr- as a conciliatory gesture; and after discussing it from all angles they decided to accept tlie iiwilatioii. After all, they probably rm-oiicrl. the Communists liaye souls just as other people do. and it would

do them no harm to see 310 or 10 lllilllxnlifl Christians (these many u-u..Ilx attend Lutheran coiiicniioiisl mat-c :i corporate witness of lilllll.

as plans were being completed. not-i came from the puppet governincnt that several officials of the regime would expect to attend the cniwcii- lion and speak on ”socialism'' in the assernbled delegates. Moreover. cou- xention leaders would have to pro- fills" heforeliaiitl to do nnlliiiii: ”in support of N.-iT0's "anti - pP;1t'P' policies."

In refusing the demands. (thurch leaders pointed out that the conven- tion they had in mind was of a re- ligious rather than a political nature and that. in any case. they knew enough ali-curly at-oiit East (ierninn ”sociaIisni" and weren't aiiyioiis to learn anything more.

It reminds one of the old fable '

about the fox and the rabbits. Rey- n:trd inviterl all the rabbits of thc nciglihornood to slipper. Rut Wiictl they arriied there was no banquet prepared for them. as they had ex- pected. They were merrily given the Drlyilrllv of wutcliing lhc fm feast on one of their fellows who had been lucklcss enough to fall into his hands!
