Negro and Jew Fight for USA. Friday night under the groat klieg lights of Madison Square Harden two powerful fighting machines danced around on the canvas ring flicking lefts and rights at each other in one of the better boxing spectacles of the year. Friday nilit under the great flag of the United States two men a Negro and a Jew pounded each other with leather cushioned Mows demonstrating, perhaps, in the most down to earth fashion just what the man on the street means when he says, "I live in a democracy." From the crowd filled Garden came the raucous cheers and booes of 50,000 Americans, and from around the millions of radios in pool halls and country clubs, shacks and mansions, trailers and hotels, arose the cheers and booes of thousands of other Americans Scotch, Irish, English, Czech, Russian, Jew, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch and all the other nationalities composing the population of a country united under the stars and stripes. The cheers were for Private Joseph Harrow. The cheers were for Abraham Simon. Hoth are members of persecuted races in other parts of the world and, yes, there are those in the United States who would also persecute them. Hut if there can be such a thing as a haven for the dusky peoples and for the sons of Israel it is between the mountains ami broad plains extending from Maine to California. The Irishman in Indiana didn't lay his two bucks on Joe Louis because the man in the other corner was a Jew. The Pole in Nebraska didn't want Simon to have his right arm lifted in the fisticuffical manner of denoting the victor because Louis was a Negro. No. both f them chose their man like they would their particular brand of cigarettes because they thought he was the best. And when the first was all over, when Ale .Simon struggled to his feet too late, the referee instead of counting to ten might well have said, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States and for the republic for which it stands one nation, indivisable, with L1HEKTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Elliott's speech opened the World Student iservice Kund drive on this cam pus. Elliott has just returned from Europe where he talked with youth leaders from Switzerland, France, Belgium, Spain and Ger many. The conditions in Europe today are enough to cause fear in the hearts of all those in a position to Bee for the forces at work are un controlable and unpredictable. But the future is even more ter rorizing. If those forces go un tlvcked they will cause decay and anarchy. These are the ideas of leaders and men in positions to get information which Elliott brought back with him and against which ke warns. "Unless we can understand three words we cannot understand Europe and its masses of op press peoples,- he said. Every one to whom he talked had primary thought before they could speak or anyuiing else food. Hard to Get Rid ef Colds. Colds are very hard to get rid of and the mortality rate has in creased between 45 and 47 per cent The birth rate has decreased between 9 and 10 percent, which In some ways may be termed a blessing, said the speaker. The people with whom Elliott talked, young and old, wanted him to understand that they felt first a personal responsibility for the future to see that this war is not in vain as it was last time. Their second ferine of resis tance is not negative, but a "reas sertion' using the people's own word. This is a reas&ertion of spir itual vriih and Christian prin cipals.
