...carefully ignores the Finnish question, except to say that America should avoid it. There is no support of Russia's invasion, no condemnation of Finnish "attacks." All the emphasis in this manifesto is upon the dangers of American involvement, the very real imminence of an anti-Soviet crusade. Even though this emphasis may in this case spring from a blind attachment to the Kremlin, the facts assembled are impressive, and serve to show that American idealism, and American big business are following conflicting paths. If the YCL can soft-pedal Finnish "aggression," there may be some hope left for unity...

Russians trying to advance over the ice toward Koivisto were blasted by the Finnish guns of that fortress. Tanks plunged through the shell-shattered ice. So fierce was the shelling that the Finns' gun-bores wore...
Pinocchio (Disney-RKO) is the world's third full-length cartoon movie.* It is Disney's second, and in every respect except its score his best. In craftsmanship and delicacy of drawing and coloring, in the articulation of its dozens of characters, in the greater variety and depth of its photographic effects, it tops the high standard Snow White set. The charm, humor and loving care with which it treats its inanimate characters puts it in a class by itself...
