HAMoNY STRESSED

There are many who insist that
the British cabinet cannot come
out with a flat statement about
war or peace aims at this time be-
cause it would be likely 10 destroy
the present harmony existing be-
tween Conservative Labor and
Liberal elements in the govern
ment. in Parliament and in the
country. In particular they as
sert il might cause trouble within
the powerful Labor Party. There
may be some basis of fact for
these contentious. but they prob
ably are exaggerated.
Premier Churchill has forecast
publicly. that the war will last for
a. least three full years, perhaps
longer.
But whatever doubt there
exists about the duration Of the
conflict there certainly is no
doubr in me official British mind
that il can only end with British
victory. and that II will not be a
Sialemated war. Harry Hopkins
and Wendell Willkie left England
with this predominant impression.
and they were shown more than
am other foreigners have been

NEW YORK. March 31.-Britain
finds II a little difficult to under
stand current American anxiety
about British war and peace aims.
The average correspondent who
seeks an answer TO these two
questions comes up against an
attitude of surprise that they
should be asked at a time when
100000 Britishers are fighting
for their existence.
To the broad question of war
aims, the general answer is given.
in public and private. that the aim
of Britain in this conflict is 10 win
the war. as quickly and as COM
pletely as possible. Premier Win
ston Churchill himself frequently
has expressed irritation that any
effort should be made 10 get him
TO enlarge on this broad state
ment.
And as for peace aims, the gen.
eral answer has been and will be
that Britain cannot discuss condi-
tons Of peace before she knows
what circumstances will exist when

HARMONY STRESSED

Both were told that the imme-
date and paramount problem. as
far as Britain is concerned. Is the
winning OF the war, that nothing
else matters.
The writer has talked with
scores of leading British and
Allied personalities in London
about war and peace aims. BY
and large. he has obtained the
predominant impression that If
such aims do exist in the minds
OF Britain's leaders. they are in
an extremely fluid state, liable TO
be altered according to the prog
ress Of the war and the circum-
stances Of the peace
And there are many thinking
people. and certain bold news
papers, who have asserted in pub
lie and private that democracy's
answer 10 Hitler's new order can
not merely be democracy, that this
overworked word needs redefining
in the widest possible terns-now.
Whether the new postwar
Europe will be based on blocs. the
much-mooted federation, the rele-
cation of Germany into its old
component states, or any one of
the other half dozen schemes
which from time 70 time are dis
cussed in private or public, is any
body's guess.
Perhaps when Britain has fought
off the present threat 10 her At
lantic lifeline. has attained parity
or superiority over Germany in the
air. and has SurTnOUHted several
other difficulties which at present
confront her at This stage of World
War II. the world will find Brit
aims leaders a little more loqua-
cious in the matter of war and
peace aims.
Until that time comes. they may
be expected to fight shy of any
expression of detailed intentions.

Blu, there is scarcely a Belgian
possessing a set who listens 10 the
Nazi broadcasts. Everybody tunes

The Nazis have been talking a
lot about the invasion Of Britain
by the sea. They talk of IT far

THEATER CLOSED

Another instance of the feelings
of the population is this story: At
the "Metropole." one of the largest
picture houses in Brussels. a Ger
man film on the 1914-191S war was
being shown. In one scene one
sees British troops marching along
road and singing "Tippetary."
When the spectators heard the
familiar tune they all started sing
ing or whistling the old war song.
As a punishment. the Nazi au-
thorities ordered the closing of
the cinema for week. but the
story became known throughout
Belgium. thanks 10 a clandestine
anti-Nazi paper which, like in

In line with the gravity of the
times, FL Centre women are eager
to do their bit towards Red Cross
work and British War Relief, de-
voting many of their spare hours
to these activities rather than to
the usual bridge and other amuse-
mentS.
Tuesday the Ten Thousand club
house was a busy place as many
women, in response to the call sent
out by Mrs. P. N. Van Slyck, club
Red Cross chairman, and her COM
mittee, assembled to work on lay
cites, these layettes to be sent by
the national Red Cross to Great
Britain.
In no time at all 72 yards of out
ing flannel were cut up into tiny
garments, dresses, kimonas, and al
so into blankets. These will be made
up by the various women, some of
whom finished complete layette
Tuesday afternoon. Bits of hand
work are to be added and when
all are completed, early in Febru-
ary, the committee is planning a
tea at which time the garments will
be displayed and then packed at
tractively for shipment, so that
when the mothers receive these
much-needed garments they will
find them as pretty as they could
possibly wish for their children.
More Available
Mrs. Van Slyck has announced
that more material is available and
that if Others wish to make layettes,
she will deliver them, all cut out,
if she is notified. Mrs. Van Slyck's S
telephone number is 500.
Methodist Womens society men,
bers are also at work making lay
cites and the high school sewing
classes are to complete 25 dresses.

Mr.. E. l.. Carter, pastor of the
State Street Christian church, talk
ed on recreation, its Importance
and the best means of aiding the
project started in the city.
After this mock wedding took
place, perhaps inspired by the sev-
eral weddings this year among the
Wilson faculty. Bill Raaka made a
fetching bride, and the faculty
members in the most amusing cos
tunes acted as ushers, attendants
guests, with James B. Fisher doub-
ling as organist and soloist. The
bridegroom LEO DeCelles) delayed
! in appearing but finally was rushed
to the altar by Mrs. Fannie Nc

After the wedding was concluded
