Lights Up or Down?
Philadelphia Record)


 No country has so far found just the right de- fense against night bombing
 But we wish officials the Eastern seaboard would do little more experimenting with different types of backout, before enemy bombers arrive.
 A year ago a British air expert, Noel Pemberton- Billing suggested lights up" instead of backout with the idea binding aviators, the way motorists arc blinded by the lights of an approaching car at night Some experiments were made by U. S. Army Engin- eers at Cleveland and they reported successful
 Now comes word of a barrage of light tried by the Germans defending Warnemuende, near ruined Rostock. As many 50 powerful searchlights were played on British bombers, while at the time a curtain of light spread horizontally across the tar get.
 The British reported that this "blackout in re- verse forced their planes low 500 feet to get be- low the curtain of light While the bobers believe they hit their targets 19 aircraft lost at Warne- muende and other operations the same night.
 In spite of these experiments, our Eastern cities have been sticking to the standard form of blackou with the exception of a patchwork backout" tried in the New York
 Let's put our American inventiveness to work We find the solution.

 Now and again it is said that we must not talk of the peace and Of postwar problems All we must do now it is argued is to fight the war and win it., allowing no other aim divert energies. All this sounds very we'll -intentioned but it does not stand scrutiny There would be little point in making all the sacrifices this will entail if were fighting only for survival We ought to define and plan for the postwar settlement and the postwar adjustment here at home because that will give meaning to the effort and the sacrifices are making from day to day
 It is often said that we the last war and then lost the peace. This is not quite true. We helped immensely to win the last war and then in 1919 we did not lose the peace but threw it away. pretended isolation after the victory, unless now while the war is waged we build the public sentiment to support courageous, enlightened foreign policy.
 There can be enduring peace after the Fascist dctatorships are vangushed cn if the United States takes it's rightfu role of the leaders in the world community We do not seek world hegemony for the postwar epoch, but proper share in the orderly governance of the world so that it may be peaceful and increasingly prosperous.
 We must be thinking also of the postwar prob lems closer to home There is the task of quidating vast government enterprises needed in war but too closely akin to dictatorship for to permit in peace time We must be planning the transition from war production to the pursuits of peace so that we may escape the horrors of economic collapse.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY. JUNE 10

WEt1lNLkODhI JUNE lO
 This should be fairly forum ate day since Venus is in benefic aspect. Adverse planetary influ- ences may undermine confidence. The configuration is unfavorable to initiative.
 HEART AND HOME: Women today are subject to inspiring and stimulating influences. It is a date suspicious for girls who will receive adulation from patriotic young men but they should not accept flattery as truth. Under this con- figuration the inclination to dodge the truth may be strong and self deception prevalent As wedding day this should be most fortunate because love rules and mercenary considerations are absent.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Increase in operating costs will reduce prof it's in many corporations and stock holders will face reduced returns on substantial investments. The stock market will fluctuate sharply as commodities show the effects of war. Sudden recoveries and rapid declines will mark many securities as the barometer of the world con- | flict changes. For securities pre- viously profitable there is great promise in the future. Faith in United Nations victory will prevent 1 sacrifices.
 i NATIONAL ISSUES: The rela- | tion between age and efficiency among department heads in Wash ington will be widely discussed as changes in the Presidents Cabinet are advocated by persons who place little value upon experience. The stars seem to forecast several res 1 ignations after the fall elections but it is improbable that there will be any conspicuous retirement this summer, the seers declare. The fact that many senators and the entire list of members of the lower house must seek votes is significant.
 INTERNATIONAL AIRS: According to astrologers the failure of India to accept the peace terms offered by the British government last April was due partly to the disturbing transit of Mars last au- tumn which opposed Mahatma Gandhi's Sun, moving to his pro- 1 gressed Moon. The last quarter o1 this year, however, may bring about the much desired agreement be- tween India and the London states men. Danger to the life of Gandh is indicated.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the augury of year Of goot fortune. Happy love affairs art ! forecast. s
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be sensitive and talented keen in mind and fond of all tha l is beautiful. Many musicians be long to this sign.

EDR ON THE SPOT

Roosevelt was in a tough spot He could not enter into a secret deal regarding the boundaries of Europe without risking all sorts of politi- cal fireworks in the Senate. And yet he did not want to offend our most potent ally-Russia.
 So very firmly, but politely, he took the position that the United States could make no Coirmitments regarding Europe, that Europe was not cur bailiwick, and furthermore that it would only create dissension among the United Nations to begin any parcelling up of territory be- fore the peace conference.
 Russian diplomacy has a habit of pressing for every possible ad- vantage, if they see any sign of weakening on the part of the gov . ernment across the table But in this case there was no sign of Roosevelt weakening, and the Rus sians accepted the American posi- tion with good grace.
 Other questions discussed includ- ed a second front against Hitler by England and the United States; also second front against Japan from Siberia. Information regard ing this phase of the negotiations cannot be disclosed except to say that American conferees were high ly pleased with the results.
 Note:-- It probably was no CO., incidence that Japan's raid on Al aska was staged at time when closer cooperation between the U. s. and the USSR regarding Alaska seemed just around the corner.

RUssIA's FUTURE BOUNDARIES

The question of postwar boun- diaries was much harder. Actually. this question was raised about two months ago when Stalin sent pro- posal to London whereby the Brit ish were to agree to restore Rus sia's pre- World War boundaries to include Lithuania, Latvia, Es- tonia, part of Poland. and large slice of Rumania.
 The British, however, remembered the criticism heaped upon Lloyd George, Clemenceau and the Allies for pledging Italy certain territory under the Secret Agreement of 1915. So Churchill, stalling for time, sent the agreement to Wash ineton by Ambassador Winant 10 get our reaction.
 Our reaction was negative. We indicated to the Russians, as diplo- rnatically as possible, that such an agreement would be in violation Of the Atlantic Charter Whereupon the Ru ians came back with the reminder that these territories-Es- tonia. Latvia, Lithuania, part of Poland and Rumania-Were in Rus sian hands when the Atlantic Char ter was signed, so it did not apply 10 them.
 Here the matter rested until a couple of weeks ago, when a Rus sian emissary in London secured a British agreement that Russia's pre- 1914 borders would be reinstated. Roughly, the Soviet was to get:
