Even more startling is the success of Chaplin's The Great Dictator, which is currently being re-released to convulsed audiences in Europe. Interspersed scenes such as Hitler doing a balloon dance with a globe are obvious ridicule, with very doubtful historic basis. But the story focuses on a sort of polar struggle between the gestapo and "the ghetto," which seems incredibly funny even to Europeans...
Ever since Red China began baiting its bids for diplomatic recognition with the glittering prospect of trade, some Canadians have shown themselves surprisingly eager to swallow bait, hook and all. Most outspoken of the lot is Toronto's Globe and Mail, whose publisher. Oakley Dalgleish. recently returned from a tour of the Chinese mainland burbling with admiration for the Peking regime.

Eights, doubles, and sculls from all over the globe--America, the British Isles, the Empire (or as the up-to-date British call it, the Commonwealth), and even from behind the Iron Curtain--head for the Thames to complete for the ten different cups. Admission to this unique event is by invitation only--and royal invitation since Her Majesty the Queen is the patron of the regatta...
