 Most, if not all of the self if-questoning and neighbory criticism to be noted in the United States has it's counterpart England that land of people like
 This is borne out strikingy in a recent issue of the National Newsletter publication of Hartfield House, Headley, Bordon Plants England As the entered it's fourth year the editor said We are not taking this sufficiently seriously. There is too much business -as-usual attitude. There are too many parts of the country where it is true to say, One would hardly know there is a war going on.
 That is familiar enough refrain in the United States. To most of us it will seem somewhat anus ing to hear it in England-an island so completely mobilized in the war effort that only now are we approaching her production of essential armaments, and land where the people long since have become reconciIed to deprivations which have scarcely contemplated as yet
 The editor of the National Newsletter likewise is worrying about the second front about master plan for the defeat of Hitler about positive aims and democratic answer to Hitler's New Order and about public lack of understanding that the is more than a series of military operations-it is a revolution, social economic and moral upheaval in Western civilization
 This self lf-questioning is a healthy portent, a beneficial mental ferment It often is irritating to hear some Americans, without full benefit of the seriously, don't know war is going on" Actu- ally the average American like the average English man, is very well aware that there is going on and is doing what he about it in his own way But perhaps, if this neighborly criticism and self questioning were to be replaced by bland and snug complacency would be in a much danger position.

PRfoRITrEs UNTANGLED

For months, various members of the War Production Board have tried to put across their ideas on how the most tangled question in the whole war -priorities should be administered. Popular Bill Bait, vice-chairrnan of WIPE, once made long speech on the subject. But priorities have con- tinued to get snarled up as badly as ever 4
 Contracts have been let when there was not the remotest chance for the contractor to get steel or copper, only to have him hound the offices of the WIPE, wasting his time and the governments try ing to get those materials. Finally, last week, Ferdinand Eberstadt, new head of priorities, | compliance, etc, had meeting of WIPE chiefs and explained how to {, handle the problem. He was brief and to the point. He spoke for only l5 minutes, illustrating with charts. His main thesis was--not to give a contract unless materials were on hand to execute it.
 i When he finished, he sat down For the first time WIPE chiefs un- derstood how priorities might be untangled.
 Many of the men present had been against Eberstadt before, re- sented his intrusion, felt that his appointment was the first step in gradual absorption of WIPE by the Army. However, Eberstadt has made friends. He is no miracle man. and too much ballyhoo may spoil him. But he has his eyes on the ball all the time.
 NOTE. Vice President Wallace sensitive to military encroachrnent sits in regular meetings with Eber- stadt, says: We need few more men like him"

Informal entertaining is under favorable direction of the stars and should be of special aid to young folk College life should be serious in it's aims with cur tailment of the many long-estab- lished recreations, although inter- est in sports will be keen.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Despite the patriotism of big business there will be competition for large profits on Government contracts among a few greedy organizations. War mill lionaires will be counted with sur prising results that cause unpleas- ant public reaction. Although high taxes will diminish great returns from war industries a few will en- joy great profits. This month is to be a turning point in the road to riches as stern laws govern in- comes large and small.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Lines drawn between American citizens of vary ing races and religions now must vanish, the seers declare, as true democracy is manifested in war service and sacrifice. Out of the chaos caused by world conflict will issue equality in fact as well as in the letter of the Constitution, astrologers forecast Through blood shed the nation is to be, purified of it's faults. Spiritual values will be recognized in the new order which will have paid the greatest price for liberty and equality for all people

WRITER CROSSED UP

Jean Potter of New York, who visited Alaska quite few months ago in quest of material for an article on Alaska for Fortune magazine felt that she had done such good job that she wasn't sats- fled with article. She wrote book and called it Alaska Under Arms, as fine report as any three-month expert could hope to turn tip
 But tough indeed on Miss Potter was the recent review in Time magazine which quoted her ineor- iecty as saying that Esknios and AIeuts are rarely seen south of the Arctic Circle.
 Said Miss Potter: T didn't make the mistake about the Aleuts in my book. But it would be hard convincing Alaskans that didn't because they expect writers about Alaska to make mistakes
 Long treated to fantastic misconceptions of their country, the Aaskans have kind of humorous They like to kid them and tell them tall stories like the about long, spaghetti-ke worms feed ing off the ice in the glaciers.
 T tried to keep any and all ice-worms out of my book-and now somehow of them has man. aged to crawl into Times review It's all very sad "
 She says further: Scientists and explorers have actually found minute worm-like forms of life in glacier But Alaskans don't believe this and if any of them should read this letter they will doubtless chucke and chalk up two against me-

in slightly better shape-but not much. Titular leader Wendell Will kie is becoming more and more in- dependent. Tom Dewey, who will demand and secure more and more leadership, is completely on the outs with Willkie And Willkie more than reciprocates.
 Chairman Joe Martin has been keeping the party machinery to- gether, but cash donations have been meager and the job is not easy.
 More difficult than anything else however, has been the problem o1 setting up an overall Republican policy which will satisfy the con- flicting views of 'isolationist" anc "interventioniSt" leaders. This ap- plies, too, to other matters. IT Kansas, for instance Ali Landor was all set to make a speech just before the election urging the re- turn of prohibition, and it was only last-minute wire-pulling by Airs close friends that persuaded him to forget it. They argued that a forecast of prohibition raised by a one-tine leader of the COZ would throw a lot of votes to Democrats.
 Result of all this conflict is the likelihood that even wider schisms will develop inside both Demo- cratic and Republican ranks. So it would surprise no one in the Capital to see partisan war ticket, vigorously opposed to iso- lation. fayoring some form of in- ternational peace machinery after the war, in the field in 1944. Be- hind that ticket undoubtedly would be Wiilkie and Roosevelt, both playing on the same team
