Eats "Death Powder To Destroy Hoodoo
A
UNIFORMS
MAN'S tailor told a reporter the other day that it is months since he' has had an order for a new suit of evening clothes. One would have expected this, for in a time of severe economy evening dress is one of the luxuries most easily dis- pensed with, as are those large parties at which men in the black-and- white of evening dress look so much more agree- able than in the clothes they wore at lunch.
Apart from this, even- ing dress is the uniform of pleasure in a world rich in superfluities or, at least, in a society rich in superfluities, and is, there- fore, symbolic of some- thing at variance with the spirit of the hour.
I hope, however, that the disappearance of even- ing dress is only tempor- ary, that it will return with the return of peace, and that our children will live

To have sport at its best you must have uniforms. I remember some years ago going to a football match in Galway in which one of the players played in his bare feet. Even this small de- clension from the regulation costume of the game made one feel that this was not football up to the Charies Buchan standard.
The genius of golf, it is said, has survived the dis- appearance of the scariet coats that used to make it so lovely a game among the sandhills; but I cannot help thinking that golf would have evolved into still greater per- fection if the red coats had not been allowed to vanish.
If, then, uniform is so im- portant in work and in sport, is it not reasonable to believe that it is equally important in social life? Consider the part that evening dress plays in the theatre, for example. How gay is. the scene in the stalls as even the ugliest man in a white shirt treads on women's toes on the way to his sent!

For one thing, I like uniforms. I like clergymen to look like clergymen. Highlanders to looke Highlanders, and butchers in blue aprons to look like butchers very nice but- chers.
What a commanding figure is the policeman in his uniform: out of it he is only human-no longer one's superior, but one's equal. Hospital nurses in the costume of their pro- fession inspire double con-- fidence in their Samaritan skill and selflessness. I have always thought that the modern attack on the housemaid's cap and apron, though well meant, was deplorable, since, if it succeeded it would result in the disapearance of one

Opera at Covent Garden could scarcely have survived unless many people have been willing-to-pay-large-sums-of money, not to listen to music, but for the pleasure of seeing a crowd of men and women in evening dress.
I confess my heart sinks when I enter one of those Continental theatros Lo

which men and women go merely to see the play and where nobody has taken the trouble to change from day to evening dress. How shabby the drama seems without of white shirts to brighten it from the audi- torium! That, no doubt, is what the late George Alex- ander felt when he made an order about evening dress in the St James's Theatre, which resulted in Mr Bernard Shaw's being refused admis- sion to the stalls on one occa- nion on account of the

To wear evening dress o some occasions, however, is not only a duty but a pleasure. After a hard day's work, to change one's clothes is like beginning day over again. It is an escape from the drab- ness of toil into the uniform of leisure, and one's spirits rise accordingly. One is ready to face cheerfully even the ordeal of a long dinner at a party.

Who says that? Mr Vietor - Gollancz,

The assertion I have quoted is taken from "The Betrayal of the Left, a 9s book
and edited, partly-written published by Mr Gollancz.
This book makes mince- ment of the Communists and their self-righteous claim to be the workers' only friends. Indual, it suggests that they are no friends of the worker at all.
Out of the mouths and manife tos of its leading spokesmen it conviels them of an indefensible betrayal of the anti-Nazi cause.
Change Of Face
In September, 1939, in a pamphlet called "How to Win the War," Harry Pollitt said: "To stand, aside from this conflict, to contribute only re- volutionary-sounding phrases while the Farcist beasts ride rough shod Over Europe, would be a betrayal of every-
forehears thing our

Ile also said: "The Communist Party supports the war, believing it to by a just war, which should Le supported by the whole work- ing class and all friends of De- mocracy in Britain,"
About the same time
a C.P. manifesto was ined stating: "We are. In support of all necessary measures to secure the victory of Democracy over Facelsm."
