MR. REMINGTON TELLS UNIVERSITY CLUBHIS EXPERIENCES WITH THE FASCIST REGIME

The versatility of the membership of the University Club was wellexemplified at the meeting last Saturday night. Scientists, clergymen,educators, lawyers, et al., listened with rapt attention to Mr. Franklin

Remington, retired head of an American en-gineering firm, who described his experienceswith the Fascist regime in Rome back in 1922,Mr. Remington whetted the appetities of hisaudience at the outset by stating that the inter-national situation last year before the fall ofRome precluded his telling his story before. Asan added precaution in avoiding any variationof the details, Mr. Remington read from manu-script.

In seeking the contract for the reconstructionof the Port of Naples, Mr. Remington's firm hadbeen obliged, according to Italian law, to organ-ize an Italian company, the head of which wascarefully selected because of his influence andprestige. After a year of negotiation Mr. Rem-

Mr. Franklin Remington higton's American agent in Rome sent back toNew York a signed contract for only one-fourth of the project—a reduc-tion that would seriously affect the value of a contract involving thetransportation of heavy equipment across the Atlantic.

Mr. Remington went at once to Rome seeking to be relieved of thecontract and thereupon discoveredthat the head of this Italian com-pany had prepared a list of a score

DR. POWELL SPRING DISCUSSES THESPIRIT AND MISSION OF LITERATURE

Dr. Powell Spring gave a lecture on "The Spirit and Mission of Lit-erature" at the Woman's Club last Monday under the auspices of theRollins College Adult Education program. :He briefly reviewed the qual-itative aspects of literature in the successive cul-lures coming down through history and endedwith an appraisal of the national literatures ofour own day. In doing so he differentiated be-tween the pre-Christian cultures and the post-Christian civilizations showing how the incisiveinfluence of the Christ-event at the beginningof our time-reckoning influenced the characterof literary expression. He showed how Easternliterature was interested primarily in the wel-fare of the soul whereas Western literature hasbecome more and more interested in physicalcomforts and the development of the reasoningmind. Eastern and Western literatures werecontrasted by means of many apt quotations.

Dr. Spring showed how the present cleavagebetween Religion and Science can only be healed -p. p_,,,_,iiby Art, and that chief among the arts is the Ut- l m v e l ]

Literary Art, and showed how the East and the West must come toknow one another through the study of their respective literatures ifthe present ideological chasm is to be bridged and world peace is to

become a reality.The contention was made that

If you, dear reader, still have time to get to the Annie Russell ,Theatre this morning by 10:30, or even a little later, you will wantto be there. This morning' some of the best minds we have in thiscommunity will discuss the most important subject today for youand your family—HOW; TO PREVENT WAE,1 There should bestreams of people trying to get into the little Annie RussellTheatre, and the meeting should have to be adjourned to theAuditorium.

Most of us have in hand the "Reader's Digest" for Februarywith the first article, "What the Dumbarton Oaks Peace PlanMeans," by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., our Secretary of State. Readhis words: "Our young men are giving their lives daily because weand other peace-loving nations did not succeed after the last warin organizing and maintaining peace. It is up to us to see thattheir sons—and ours—are not forced to give their lives in anothergreat war 25 years from now."

The experts formed a plan at Dumbarton Oaks. Here in WinterPark this morning we as citizens have a chance to discuss andlearn about it so that we can take action and not leave it alone tothe politicians. If we stay at home and do not enter into thisproblem we can only expect a repetition of the past.

or more of Italian officials, all ofwhom were to be paid variousamounts by Mr. Remington fortheir help in securing the contract.On Mr. Remington's refusal tonteet this demand the Italian execu-tive attempted to discredit himwith the American embassy andotherwise threatened him. His re-fusal to pay what seemed to himnothing legs than bribes did nothelp any in getting released fromthe contract on which his firm hadposted a substantial cash forfeit.

Mr. Remington further ran intonew difficulties when he tried tosecure from Roman banks the1100,000 bond called for in the con-tract. Italian engineering firmswho had been competing with hisfirm for the contract had used theirinfluence with the banks to pre-vent his obtaining the bond,although lie had ample financialsecurity for the purpose. As a lastresort, Mr. Remington cabled tothe American-Italian banker Gian-nini in San Francisco, who was atthat time one of the leading fig-ures in the financial world, and the*bond was at once secured at Gian-nini's banking house in Rome—justa few hours ahead of the deadline,which would have brought a severeblow to the prestige of Mr. Rem-ington's firm had he been unsuc-cessful.

Subsequently Mr. R e m i n g t o nfound that he could negotiate withthe leading Italian engineering firmwhich, frankly admitted its previ-ous efforts to block him in everymanner. The contract was turnedover and Mr. Remington left forNew York.

As an interesting aftermath hewas officially informed that theItalian government felt that his

MR. AND MRS. CARLOIN OPENING RECITAL

The violin and piano music ofAlphonse and Katherine Carlo isone of the most enjoyable musicalfeatures of the season. WinterPark is g'lad to have these two fineartists bade after a year's absence.Their recital, opening the .FacultySeries at the Annie Russell Thea-tre, set a high standard for soundmusicianship as well as the moreobvious qualities of tonal beautyand excellent technique.

In presenting such substantialworks as the Vivaldi Sonata in Dmajor, and the Kreutzer Sonata ofBeethoven, Mr. and Mrs. Carlo paida tribute to, the appreciation oftheir Winter Park audience. Thenew Sonata by the Brazilian Villa-Lobos, "Desesperance" proved in-teresting' as well as novel in itsideas and certainly fared well inits performance by such conscien-tious artists.

In his last group Mr. Carlo wasmost enjoyable, the delicacy of afine singing tone and a rare skillfor creating tonal atmosphere be-ing especially effective in suchpieces as Debussy's "En Bateau"and the infrequently heard "Chantde Roxane" by Szymauowski.

(Oontimiod from page t)must be brought into central focusif only to counteract the banefulinfluence of castiron dogma andideological indoctrination which Dr.Spring called both an insult to hu-man intelligence and the chief re-tarding factor in the progress ofhuman evolution.

The world today is dying- of self-ish power politics relying upon in-doctrination to gain public support.The study of Human Science alonewill make such indoctrination im-possible because once the intendedroad of human evolution becomesclear the futility of revolutionaryupheavals is recognized. Liter-ature, which includes religion, isour only key U> the understandingof man's mission on this planet. .

Human Science today enables us,said Dr. Spring, to study all philos-ophies in the light of the over-allpicture of human evolution, andthat nothing1 but a profound studyof man himself will ever provideus with a safe method for siftingthe conflicting evidence with whichwe are confronted today. The keyto the union of Eastern wisdomand Western insight into the lawsof nature, is provided by the exam-ple of parables as we find them inthe New Testament in which thespiritual and physical aspects ofhuman life are seen together.

Announcement has been madethat an expanded version of thislecture will appear in book formwithin the next three months, andcan be obtained at both bookstoresin Winter Park.

WINTER PARK TOPICS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1945

Often regarded as the home of"Prussianism," the training groundof Junker brutality, as a matter offact, in East Prussia, great estatesare rather less predominant thanelsewhere and far from giving to"Prussianism" its blood and ironcontent, about all it gave in thatdirection was the name of Prussia.

East Prussia is the relic of a cru-sading order, of the Teutonicknights, who at one time carvedout a great Christian kingdom westof the Vistula. Finally defeated,in 1410, these knights, who weremonks (fighting, not p r a y i n gmonks), were driven by the Polesback into East Prussia.

Not being agriculturists, theysent for Germans to come in andcultivate the soil. It is these agri-culturists who have dominated thethought and politics of East Prus-sia and curiously enough, they havebeen liberals! For example, in theeighteen sixties these rural groupsfought the blood and iron policiesof Bismarck.

The author of this article isA. J. P. Taylor, who declares theloss of East Prussia would not in-jure the Junker class much andthe military class not at all. Theindustrial loss would be negligible,

the principle industry being mill-ing. The agricultural.loss would besubstantial but not grievous.

These facts may be interestingas East Prussia, taken from theSlavs 600 years ago, may play apart in the Polish settlement. Itcontains about three million Ger-mans.

Thus does Mr. Taylor explodethe myth that Prussianism will belargely knocked out with the sur-render of East Prussia to Poland.

EXPLODING THE MYTHABOUT EAST PRUSSIA

On the principle that the peopleof the United States should hurryup to learn everything possibleabout foreign affairs, that is, sloughoff their prodigious ignorance ofthe same, an article in the Man-chester Guardian may be of inter-est. It is entitled "The Myth of'Junker' East Prussia, and statesthat "militarist, aggressive Ger-many presents to the statesman thegxeatest problem , of the. time; inthis problem East Prussia has as-sumed an altogether mythical im-portance, Interlachen Avenue, Winter Park
