Decaying vegetation fell Into black water to be compressed and hardened and later to become cool. Eventually the aea dried up, and out of the north came the cold wind to change the tropical climate of Illinois. Crowing glaciers moved southward, crunching and grinding, until there was a sheet of ice covering all but a small ip of the state. Birds and animals retreated before It, or died. And then came a day when Illinois lay in the sun again, wet and muddy and smooth. Plants reappeared. Crass grew luxuriantly, new kinds of trees sprang up. Lakes were changed to marshes, Into transformed and marshes prairies. By and by, men came to live along the rivers and bury their dead in mounds. Known as mound dwellers, they were followed by others whom we know as Indians. In those days, herds of bison roamed the lush prairies and drank from the mud holes. In 1671, La Salle crossed the portage from the Chicago to the Illinois river probably the first white man to visit Illinois. He later fortified a camp near the present site of Peoria, which he called Fort Creve-coeu- r. VI Ip lip National Union and State Sovereignty to 1809, however, the state we know as Illinois was a part of Indiana territory! It was then organized as the territory of Illinois, the seat of government being at Kaskaskia. The first territorial legislature convened in 1812, and Illinois was admitted to the Union in 1818. Shadrach Bond was the first governor. Serious Indian troubles beset those who ventured early into Illinois. The Sacs and Foxes were eventually moved across the Mississippi river in 1823, and Black Hawk was defeated in 1832. Settlement then proceeded rapidly. Families poured into the state from the south, from New England, and from many foreign lands. Chicago, the state's greatest city and second in size of all American cities, was almost left out of Illinois.

However, reactions are coming in now, as the ICD conducts many secret radio polls employing the methods of polltakera in this country. The surveys which I saw indicated that, on the whole, the programs are popular with the Germans with certain reservations. Take factual world news, for example. Germans are anxious to hear this, but they dont alFor 12 ways understand it. years they have been taught to be suspicious of all news. And yet. In spite of this skepticism, they are so saturated with the propaganda Idea that In some cases they dont like facts. This came out In a conference with teenagers who said they preferred the Russian broadcasts to ours. Asked why, they said there was too much propaganda in ours. I went over this answer with one of the psychological experts. He explained it this way: straight news without comment forces the listener to think for himself. This disturbs the German teenager, and he blames the program, calling it propaganda. English grammar lessons far outrun American music as radio favorites in Germany. All Germans want to learn English. This desire seems e to stem from the hope that some day Americas gates will be open, and from the opportunistic feeling that the conquered can get along better with the conqueror if they're both talking the same language. and use it for a curtain rod, towel rack, or a stick to remove hot clothes from the wash boiler.

This struggle was intensified when, long before World War I, the Germans started their drang nach Osten and the British heightened their efforts to placate the Arabs in order s to protect their empires and to prevent a spread of a disaffection to the Moslems of India. Now Russia steps into the picture. Reports from Baghdad tell us of the spread of communistic sympathies throughout the Middle East. And the Jews of Palestine find their troubles increasing. The announcement of Britains granting of independence to Trans-Jordanheightened Zionist resenta is a part ment, for of Greater Palestine and was supposed to be included in the territory allotted to the National Jewish home. The Zionists claim the British action is part of a scheme to prevent the United Nations from creating a trusteeship of Greater Palestine which would include as the old League of Nations mandate did. They also make the to charge that the purpose is thwart Jewish rights by bolstering forces. The Zionists feel too that Russia is playing a similar game. They point out the inconsistency of making friends with the Arabs, whose party leader in Palestine, Jamal Husseini, is calling for the reinstatement of the Grand Mufti, a Hitler collaborator. In his testimony before the Inquiry committee Husseini said: "Germany was not our enemy and therefore we had no Interest in the war, adding: Ive read somewhere that it was a Jewish war. The Zionists believe they have discovered an additional reason for Russian animosity toward their efforts in Palestine. Like most of the causes of racial and other ructions, it is fear. They say that the Soviets are afraid that if the Palestine colony becomes a success it will prove an entering wedge for western capitalism in the Near East. There is really nothing in common between the feudalist, Arab world and the economic and social principles represented by the Soviet system. The Arabs cant do the Soviets any harm but they could be used, the Zionists say, to hamstring what might become a live and Jewish nation Mmbued with capitalistic ideas, operating too close for communistic comfort.
