ACHESON FLIES TO HISTORIC

MEETING

Washington, Aug. 1.

FTER the Battle of the con- quering Persians marvelled. says Herodotus, when their Greek captives told them that prizes in the Olympic Games were simple wreaths of olive. "What manner of men are these?" asked one astonished captain. "They do not contend for money! but for the glory of achieve- ment." We suspect that Herodotus, a Greek himself, had his tongue in his cheek when he wrote this story, for obviously the heathen Persian reeognised that ment. This spirit of pure endeavour is common to all races, as it has been. in one form or another, to all Agês. It still survives and with it has surged forth renewed vigour during the Helsinki Olympic Games. It would be vain to suppose that international sport can heal the world's wounds where international diple macy has falled.

BITTER FEUD

London, Aug, 1.

The House of Commons today approved the Allied peace contract with Western Germany in a debate that turned into a bitter argument between factions of the Labour Party.

The Commons approved the pact by a vote of 293 to 253 after defeating an official Labour Party motion to postpone action by a vote of 294 to 260. The House of Lords had approved the contract: on' Thursday night so that Britain becomes the second country to ratify it. The United States was the first.
