BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Whatever criticism may be
made Of the high strategy fol-
lowed by President Roosevelt, he
proved himself an extremely
shrewd and far-seeing statesman
when he avoided signing any
sort of political agreement-hke
the British Russian Treaty-dur-
ing the visit of Soviet Foreign
Commissar Molotov in WASH
ington.
M. Roosevelt and his diplo-
matte and political advisers have
full confidence in the willingness
OF the Moscow government to
stand by the other enemies Of
the Axis and see this war through
to common victory.
The President told the Russian
Foreign Commissar SO and as
sured him that this country will
not finch in giving her associates
all possible assistance in men
and materials so that victory can
be achieved at the earliest mo-
ment.
The accent, as far as United
States is concerned, is on victory
and nothing else. All the other
matters which will inevitably
crop up after the defeat of the
Axis are of utmost Importance.
but they still belong to a more
or less distant future.
Britain's Position Different.
1t would be useless to discuss
the fate of those nations under
the heavy boot of the Japs and
the Nazis before we can see the
defeat Of the Axis approaching.
Any departure from this prin-
ciple would bring only discomfort
and suspicion among the United
Nations themselves. 1t would
mean selling the bears skin be-
fore the bear is caught.
The position of Great Britain
is. of course, different. The
British are a European power.
They also have had in the past
political and territorial policies
which conf1icted with those of

'McCorrun Studies Raise

Taking notice of the difficulty
the Metropolitan Police Department
is having in keeping its ranks filled
during the war, Chairman McCar-
ran of the Senate District Commit
tee today was considering whether
it would be advisable to raise the
entrance age limit to make eligible
members of the Capitol police force
or men now serving as public build
ing guards.
The Senator was not committed
to the suggestion, and said If such
a move were made the men seeking
transfer to the city force would

This Changing World
Roosevelt Is Commended for Avoiding
Political Commitments During MoIotov 1olks

the USSR. Hence, 1t appeared
only natural to our diplomats
that these problems-some Of
which have been outstanding for
more than a century-should be
settled before the offensive
against the Axis is well under
way.
The situation is entirely diff
ferent with this country. We
have no territorial ambitions; we
are not looking toward any
secure frontiers on land. The
Atlantic Charter, which was
signed last August by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, is a clear-cut docu-
ment as far as the foundation
Of a future peace is concerned.
Departure from that charter
would cause serious trouble be-
tween our responsible political
leaders and Congress, which
traditionally dislikes foreign en-
tangiements after war has been
won.
Full Accord Reached.
In most Washington diplomatic
quarters it is fervently hoped that
the 20-year agreement which was
signed in London does not con-
tain separate secret clauses dis
posing arbitrarily of the fate Of
the small nations which have
been crushed by the Nazi and
Jap war machines.
The Russians are said to have
fully understood the American
point OF view. Mr.. Molotov and
the aides who accompanied him
to Washington left elated at the
definite assurances of present
and future close collaboration
they received from the President.
The Russians were particularly
encouraged when they realized
the efforts this country was max
ing and received the assurance OF
all those with whom they came
into contact that regardless of
what the enemy does we can win
the final victory. The postwar
world is in too dim a future to
enable our leaders to make any
definite commitments.

FIRE CUTS HOUSE BELOW CALHOUN
 AVE. SATURDAY

The home of MT and Mrs. s. J Villoria, below Calhoun Avenue and In the rear of the Totem Grocery was completely gutted by fire late Saturday night which destroyed practically eevrything in the struc- ture.
 The blaze started when a son, AL fred, his wife and James McNeil their friend, were in the house MT. and Mrs. Villoria were at the theatre. The fire apparently was caused from the electric stove which was left on.
 Alfred fired seven shots and called for help when the fire started and attempted to take McNeil, who had been drinking, from the house. AL fred was later found inside and was taken to safety.
 Members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department battled the blaze for an hour and 35 minutes, running hoses both from Calhoun and Will loughby avenues.
 Mrs. Villoria had owned the house since 1928. It had six bedrooms in the upstairs. She said that every thing in the house was lost.
