ing last night in the Y. w. c. A.
Action on both issues was withheld

by Harry N. Stull, representing the

Jesse C. Suter, also of the Dis

being done by the Outdoor Cleanli-

a similar campaign be undertaken
in the nearby counties Of Maryland

Amendments to the articles OF
the conference were read and ap-
proved in order to include Fairfax

Reports of the five federations
affiliated with the conference were
presented by Mr.. Stull of the Dis

Fairfax County. Stephen James of

which Pierre Laval has to contend
at Vichy and in Northern Africa as
he tries to carry out the policy OF
cooperation with Adolf Hitler
where he chose to see the only path
to Frances salvation. To this day
what is the progress achieved by
Nazi diplomacy?
No doubt is entertained any longer
that the negotiation with Russia,
which eliminated in the journey of
Premier-Foreign Commissar Vyach-
eslaff Molotoff to Berlin, was under
taken, in the middle of October, for
the main purpose of enlisting the
help of the Kremlin to Wrest Turkey
from her association with Great
Britain and neutralize her in the
forthcoming struggle, where the
Syrian territory may loom large in
deed.
Until two days ago the Soviet
Union had not taken any step what
ever in Ankara, and, according to
diplomatic sources, the Turkish
government, elated by the defeat
that the British and Greeks have
inflicted upon Italy, didn't show
any disposition to swerve from the
line of conduct it had long set
itself TO follow: To intervene in
the struggle if ever the Thracian
districts. east of Salonika, were in
vaded by italians or Bulgars. 1t
is even said that Russia s military
pressure would be found of no avail
to make the Turks change their
mind. If that Interpretation is
correct, the practical result of that
Hitler Molotoff meeting would
amount to little.
Plans Hinge on Nazi Victory.
It may be that the National So
cialist and Soviet rulers have par
titiOned half the world between
them, as suggested in so many
cables from Berlin and Rome. But
all those wonderful plans cannot
lastinglv take shape unless German
arms triumph, and it is to secure
this that RusSias cooperation was
so eagerly asked for-that co-opera-
ton which. so far. has not become
visible We must therefore sus-
pend Judgment
AS to Germany's effort to induce
the Vichy government to place naval
and air bases in French Northern
Africa at the disposal of the totali-
tartan powers, it has not yet fully
succeeded for the time being, al
though reports are occasionally
coming in from Berlin that head
way is being made. The German
and italian claims concerning the
oversee possessions of France were
temporarily left aside last June,
because, if they were pressed for
ward, they might induce the popu-
lations concerned to turn toward
England. Nonetheless. it is a we'll

because no opinion is rendered, just
what prompted the justices to deny
