VILLARD RESIGNS
Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the "Nation" (New York) from 1917 to 1933 and a contributing editor since then, has resigned from the magazine 46J- years after his first contribution to it. "My retirement," he explained in his last article, "has been precipitated at this time by the editors' abandonment of the "Nation's" steadfast opposition to all preparations for war, to universal military service, to a great navy, and to all war."' Freda.Kirch.wey, present editor, wrote in reply, "It frightens me to read such articles. They represent, in my mind, a danger more present than Fascism. They represent a retreat from the grimmest reality that has confronted. our nation in many generations."
