Wt‘l'(‘ birth n r new tf’-nclung was accepted immed- iately, the tribes acknowledged God as their deity, and a few days later cut down the sacred oak. Members of the tribes then took a soil-mn oath never again to offer a human sacrifice to the retreating sun. A As the big oak fell, it left, unin- jurcd. a. little fir tree, although all the other near-by trees \vere bruised or crushed. When this new religion nad secured a. nrm hold on the people, Wynfrith bade the tribes- urch. Once every year, so it is said, the members of that church met and then marched to the little nr tree, around which they sang, danced and feasred. So in time his fli- ix-canle men cut logs and build a, ch accepted as the Yule tree, whose roots had never been stained by the blood of human sacrifice. Thus. cordlng to legend, the Christmas tree came into being.

The an- nouncement was made in London 'recently that an English company had sold more than $4,000,000 of tlnplafe for use in canning opera- tions in Canada.

This would win the peasaniry to the Soviet regime and everybody would be happy ever afterward. Formidable and perfectly logical -on paper-the Plan hasn'; work- ed. Not, at least, on schedule. Somewhere between items four and six in the Five Year Plan as given above the thing broke in two. The Russian peasants did not take easily to being collectivized and extermlnaied. Thereupon terror was applied f/o them. Thereupon the piasants began to kill oft their live stock on a vast scale; they killed off fifty per oent. of the horses in the country. After they had been mobilized into the col- lective farms they look their own time about planting and harvesting. The result was a shortage of food. So the Five Yea" Plan is bogged. At the time set off for its official achievement thc fnnlons project is not much more than 50 per cent. completed, and it has brought in its wake an acute - food shortage threatening the dimensions of a famine. Perhaps a recent increase in the pay of tht Red Army was not without significance. Comrade Stalin is eminently practical. All of this does not argue that the Five Year Plan has definitely collapsed, or that it won't survive. What it does argue is that there is no short cut, to Utopia: that mere change is not necessarily progress? and that in economics, as in all other spheres of life. ix thousand human traits and things rise up to baffle any card-indexed plan no matter how logical in theory. vorlfe Scott or Dickens, the poetry of Keats, or the essays of "Elia”- these are more suitable company than the volumes that demand a certain amount of culture and men- tai alertness fo: their proper appre- clation. I-low delightful if one could drop to sleep, night after night, with poetry chlmlng on one’s fading consciousness!
