Harrison Stewart and two stags

Br GLADYS MILLS
.. It was our pleasure to witness
one of the greatest exhibition* of
'quick trigger thinking and rapid
fire oratory of our brief career in
the appearance of Stanley High at
Plymouth Congregational church
last Sunday night. Mr. High Is
Uist known as the author of "Black
Omens." a series of articles on the
present day Negro, which ran In
the “Saturday Evening Past" last
summer.
Contrary to our belief, that he
would talk along similar lines, he
rather cho*e to give terse, and In
some instances very humorous
thumb-nail portrait* of, fcistory
making men of today. The question
of color was not even remotely
touched .upon; either by Mr. High
or the persons who questioned him
during the Forum period.
The very representative group
present was not sensitive or radical
in its quizzing, but confined itself
wholly to world affairs and na
tional issues, for which we could
have kissed each personally; and
v e have the words from Mr. High's
own lips in an interview after the
lecture "that he was greatly sur
prised, having come prepared for a
good ’lambasting" and finding in
stead just a very intellectual gath
ering of American citizens inter
ested primarily in the salvation of
democracy.
Stanley High is able to give lit
tle known facts about outstanding
personalities, having interviewed
personally, most of them. He cited
Stalin, as being the most ruthless
and hard-boiled of the dictators;
“Mussolini” he says, “is the bad
boy of the trio, playing at being
hard-boiled to keep pace with Hit
ler and Stalin;” to Mr. High, Hit
[ ler is a religious phenomenon, and
a positive idol to his people, who
display his picture along with that
of Christ, the German nation looks
upon him as something holy.
He calls President Roosevelt the
most dramatic of the Democratic
leaders, except perhaps Nevii
Chamberlain, who he says is almost
forced against his will into a life of
diplomatic service. He further
thinks that Mr. Roosevelt will un
doubtedly run for office a third
time, chiefly because he loves the
Job of being President, contrary to
others who have found the running
of this country a great task. He
thinks President Roosevelt gets a
kick and recreation out of it and
will only reluctantly remove him
self from 1700 Pennsylvania ave
nue. Further, he thinks he will
be urged by certain very powerful
factions to run again.
All in all, Mr. High’s talk was
very enlightening. He certainly
has a wealth of knowledge of world
affairs and other things of great
general interest at his finger-tips.
