AFTER THE WAR
Though obscured by sensational
war developments, inner circles
are giving thought and time to
postwar economic plans. If the
President ca nhelp it, there will
be no postwar chaos and depres-
sion such as followed World War
No. /. Plans under consideration
are worldwide, not merely con-
fined to the United States. They
contemplate gigantic rehabilita-
ton and public works programs,
correlation of raw materials,
trade, financial systems.
U. S. AND ITALY
The Donovan Office is making
an effort, by short wave propa-
ganda, to drive a wedge between
The italian people and the Italian
government.
To this end Italy is included in
a series OF broadcasts to the
dominated" countries of Europe.
The radio message has a friendly
tone, far different from the "stab
in the back" note truck by
Roosevelt when Italy first went
into the war.
Here is direct quote from a
broadcast, as it went by Short
wave, in Italian:
Italy faces national bank
rurtcy and almost certain i'm
poverishment for many years to
come. Italy is confronted by
ever-grOwing demands for more
and more manp0wer for Ger
many. Italy is hungry despite
good harvests. Italians do not
eat as well as the people of
Germany, or the troops Of the
Occupier Of Italy. Yet the food
these enjoy belongs to Italy; has
been taken from Italy =.
"In America 1t is believed that
Italy is nation already con-
quered by Germany. The de-
feat Of Italy by the Nazis has
been done politically, rather
than by force of arms Co
operation between Italy and
Germany is farce. Cooperation
is not a one-way road. Ger
many cannot take everything,
give nothing but scorn, and yet
call 1t cooperation. That's what
America thinks"
CAPITAL CHAFF
A British newsman, Denys
Smith, found that his message to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-02-24

Coming from Bullitt, who
served as Ambassador to Russia
and who spent considerable time
there in the early days of the
Revolution in 1917, this means
lot. Bullitt has been vigorously
critical OF the Soviet regime in
recent years and probably would
lean over backwards against any
overly optimistic appraisal. How
ever, after his special tour of the
Near and Middle East on special
assignment from the President, he
reported that the Russians were
so irate against the Nazis that
there would be no surrender or
compromise.
Bullitt is not SO optimistic about
the Russian army. which he
thinks may fail badly when the
Germans are able to get their air
planes in the air again, which
they cannot do in sub-zero wealth
er and with snow on the air fields.
Politically, however, Bullitt is con-
vinced that Russia will stand with
the United Nations to the last
ditch
Against this, Bullitt goes fur
Their than anyone else around the
President regarding Allied losses.
Not only does he believe that ia
pan will take India, but he feels
that Australia will be lost to the
British Empire.
If he is right, this will be the
worst blow which the United
Nations can suffer. especially
inasmuch as American troops
are now stationed in Australia
and New Zealand.
NOTE: Not all war observers
agree with Bullitt ON this latter
point. They point out that Aus
tralia is chiefly desert country,
and it would take weeks and

Connecticut apiarists may come into

been slowly but surely becoming a thing
of the past. Each successive year saw
fewer bee-keepers registering with their
local town clerks Now the number is SO
small that every bee-keeper knows his
associates by their first name However,
sugar shortage is bound to create a de-
mand for honey and demand for honey
is bound to create a demand for bee

like maple sugar production, takes new

Selected Poem
PICTURE FROM A DREAM

(Sara Van Alstyne Allen in the Christian
Science Monitor)
Golden notes were flowing from the flute of Oogar,
And young fish eaped from the water,
A new river of brightness in the blue of the serene
air.
Rhythm was theirs, and the beauty Of movement.
The brown net enclosed them-the music was
constant.
And upon the hill stood Nashka,
Playing silver songs on pipe OF silver.
Wild geese flying northWard heard his songs
And down the air-Ways they flew,
Lost in the cold enchantment of Nashka's playing

While Oogar drew green music from the seas

him and she wasn't casting Off
No sir, she certainly wasn't.
For that very night the chief
went to George and made him
understand he had to marry the
girl. George shouted and blus-
tered darn nearly all night, but
when the old man started point
ing to the skull house and maxi
ing nasty signs across Georges
neck he gave in.
The chief let out yell and
Loomi galloped in as if she'd
been outside listening. They jab-
bered for a bit and then she fell
on Georges neck and darn near
foundered him.
Come night time the whole
village was lit with torches and
the vahines were dancing in be-
tween the huts with flowers all
over them and precious little else.
There was the mightiest feast
that island had ever known but
George wasn't interested in food.
He got himself near a bowl of
kava and kept at that.
The chief made speeches point
ing to George, and all the men
got up and danced around him.
They did a dance showing how
he swan out of the sea conveyed
by sharks. And an old man
George had never seen before
capered about the place with
headdrcss made of a shark head.
Then others danced other
dances and all those vahines
danced the dance of love and
marriage.
All night they danced and
sighed at George.
George got drunk.
When he woke he had an
awful head And what was worse
he had a wife he didn't want
She rolled him over on his mat
and fetched him a playful slap
that nearly stove him in.
"Ah cut it OUT he groaned
and tried to go TO sleep again.
But it was no use. She petted
him like a baby. And he felt
like one For she was strong as
a bullock and when she felt like
picking him up, by Crikey, she
did!
After week Of that poor
George had about as much spunk
as a dead mackerel. But he did
have one last bit Of spirit
He couldn't even leave the hut
by himself He couldn't go TO
the lake without Loomi following
him.
one day Loomi got playful.
George had sncaked out and was
walking through the palms. 1t
was a lovely afternoon. Bit hot
but there was a small breeze and
the fact that he was alone was a
blessed luxury. Then all OF
sudden Loomi bounced out from
behind a bush and grabbed him.
60 on home" he yelled.
Like you too much" she gig
gled
George wiggled out of her grip
and let her have a good smack
across the head.
Boy Was that a mistake
Her great. big eyes, handsome
they were too, flashed like side
lights and she hauled OFF and laid
George flat as founder.
Thcn she dropped beside him
and started rubbing his head and
moaning and crying like. mad.

way" lie was almost punch

pig and had that roasted with
sweet potatoes and cocoanut. He
taught them to fry those little
fish.
Why inside a couple months he
owned that island and had most
of the people savvying n bit of
his talk
One thing he never got used to
was Loomi rubbing his legs with
cocoanut oil. Every night she did
il and he felt her strong shapely
hands kneading his muscles and
wondered just how strong she
was, Besides, she always wanted
to rub noses with him. That was
their form of kissing. George
wouldn't have minded kissing
those other vahines, especially one
named Monai, but they all stood
clear while Loomi was around
and wouldn't even talk to him.
The vahines did lot of swim
ming in a little lake few miles
inland. George followed them
once and they swum around him
like mermaids. Monai would swim
close sometimes and put her cold
little nose against his cheek. He
liked that He taught her to call
him George.
But she told the others and
inside a few days all of them
would follow him shouting "Jojee"
every time he put his nose outside
his hut.
One fine morning George felt
grand. II was cool and the trade
wind ruffled the palms by the
sea. The waves were sparkling
and he had on a fresh lei of
flowers. But there was something
missing.
George was sick Of being a god.
He wanted TO be a man again,
and have sweetheart like other
men.
He went 20 the lake where the
vahines were swimming and maxi
ing flower leis and laughing and
chirping to each other.
But when they saw him they
all sang out like they were scared
TO death. swan TO the opposite
side OF the lake and ran through
the jungle like mice.
George went back TO the village

the chief outside his hut.
What's the idea ," he growled.
How come all them vahincs run
away from me- Why they no
hkcc me ."
"Tapu," said the chief. Plenty
too much tapu."
Then George sawed. For some
reason they'd put taboo on him.
That meant none Of those gals
would dare talk or go near him.
He was too sacred being a sort
OF pal OF the shark EOuS!
Then Loomi came out Of the
women's hut. She let out a
gurgle when she saw George and
ran at him like a quarterback.
Before ne could duck she had
him in a grip that would have
held a horse and was rubbing
noses with him.

way, according TO Miss Alden, is
