ladies big evening just to remem-
Der us, even though we can't be

The letter instructed that the

added, Don't worry about escorts
or dates for them as they can have
good time and can imagine we are
along with them-as we certainly
shall be in spirit"
Only one thing slightly marred

whether one or more, or all of
the Axis powers will have been
Knocked out by the time Novem-
ber, 1914, has rolled around. The
supposition of most of the people
is that the conflict will not have
ended.
A Gallup poll has shown Presi-
dent Roosevelt running we'll
ahead of Gov. Thomas Dewey OF
New York, If the two should be
presidential nominees. A more
recent publication, the Fortune
poll, gives the President a big
lead. with 648 per cent of the
total, if the war is continuing at
election time. On the other hand,
If the war should be over, For
tunes poll indicates that the
President could not win a fourth
term. He would be opposed, this
poll says, by 5s.2 per cent of the
American people.
No one has yet suggested It
would be a good thing to delay
winning the war. Indeed, the
American people as a whole are
anxious to get on with the war
as speedily as possible.
Short -end Party Complain.
Most polls are money-making
affairs. The people who conduct
them are not in it merely for
their health Sometimes they
have been astonishingly correct
and again they have been very,
very wrong.
If the indicated results of a
poll run along with the hopes of
one political party, these results
are sure to be hailed by that
party as clear expose of public
sentiment. On the other hand,
the political party shown to be
losing, classes such a poll as pure
propaganda, or propaganda not
so pure.
1t looks now as though the
American people are to be treated
periodically to these political polls.
increasing as the day of the elec-
ton draws nearer. Polls have
been taken to show who leads in
the affections of the Republi-
cans for the 1914 presidential
election. 1t is more or less taken
for granted that the Democrats
want the denomination of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
A poll may be made either to
show the true sentiment of the
voters-or it may be made to in
f1uence public opinion. The poll
itself may be just as honestly con-
Quoted in either case. Just how
far public sentiment can be infu-
enced by the publication of a
poll is, after ALL merely conjec-
ture.
Those who believe the result of
a poll, as published, does affect
public opinion base their belief
on the old idea that if people are
told a political party is going to
win, they come to believe it, fight
less hard, and even decide to 20

COW, working on the problem of
getting our films, books and papers
to the Russians Only little while
ago our Ambassador in Moscow,
Admiral Standley, was complaining
bitterly that the Russians we're not
telling their people the story of
American aid to the Soviet Union
We do not seem to be exactly on
fire to tell it to them ourselves. We
are strangely bashful, for the coun-
try that invented press agentry.
And that is how one tells whether
relations are developing or not; by
homely signs of routine activity, far
better than by public speeches.
Wonders If U. S. Cares.
This is the Comintern question,
stood on its head. There has been
great excitement about Russian ac-
tivity in America. Is there any
comparable interest in American
activity in Russia? Apart from all
other considerations, Russia is a
large country, full Of factories, oil
wells, guns and people; 40 per cent
more people than we have. Does it
make any difference to us whether
these millions of people have one
idea about us or another, or none at
all? Or do we just not care?
In spite Of recent happier signs,
the bleakness and poverty of Amer
ican activity in Russia, contrasted
with the richness of Britains enter
prise, is perhaps the mirror of the
developing relationships among the
three countries.
The many British press officers In
Kuibyshev must be learning a great
deal about Russia; and Russia,
through them, must be learning a
great deal about England. Mr.
Parker points out, astutely, that
knowledge, of itself, is an important
factor in conducting foreign affairs
1t is always handy to know a few
things. 1t enriches the making OF
decisions.
There can be no Disgusting the
fact that, before the British could

set up such press ONCE, they had
to make one important decision.
They had to concede that Russia
really exists. and that she intends
to 60 on existing.
Through Dark Glass.
That is the decision which Amer
lea has, perhaps, not yet made.
That is why we are content to study
Russia through glass, darkly, as
shadowy something, far away, not
quite real, with which we conduct
a bleak and impoverished relation
ship.
The bleakness Of our approach
reflects the bleakness of our own
fears and indecisions. To set up an
elaborate installation In a foreign
country is little bit like consum-
mating a marriage; great deal of
joint daily life follows, with many
exchanges Of experience and in
crease OF familiarity; 1t is a plunge
into togetherness in small things.
Perhaps we feel that If we have
only one man in Moscow we can
keep the thing platonic and un-
complex, and can yank him, zut!,
like that, If the moment should ar
rive when we again might decide
that there really is no Russia, that
We Ian live in the world without her.
Moreover, an American press office
in Moscow would have to be an ONCE
Of War Information Office, and Con-
gress does not care greatly for the
Office of War Information; and per-
haps the bleak and suspicious face
which Congress turns on every man
Hesitation Of American propaganda
work is part OF the generally fear
full bleakness OF our approach to the
postwar world.
Plunge Is Avoided.
For If our press Office in Moscow
becomes real, Russia, to that degree,
becomes real, also, and this Is pre-
cisely the plunge we have been
avoiding.
But (as a child might say the
world really Is real Why can't we
be as candid as the English? They
have not given up one shred OF their
own ideas about how to live. They
have not become one particle less
English by deciding that Russia is
going to continue and that England
will get along with her. AS a mat
ter OF fact, England seems more
like England now that she has taken
the plunge, thrown of the sickly
fears Of the sos, and struck out
boldly among the rocks (and mead
ows, too Of reality.
That comes first; after that, the
treaties and the press Offices. One
cannot say what the future will be.
OF course; and one seeks a strong
future for America, naturally; but
one cannot discern it in these light
and tentative contacts, timid and
shy, one toe in and nine out.

postwar planning, but Russia's
problems in the world of tomor-
row are far less complicated than
are those Of the other Allies.
The Soviet's course is well set.
Her territorial aims have been
given to other countries In the
United Nations setup in no un-
certain terms. Recently they
have been somewhat sugar-coat-
ed because OF the necessity of al
laying suspicious OF some Allied
representatives, but they have
not been changed.
Must Meet Own Needs.
Russia Is not confronted with
any postwar social problems and
because she is primarily inter-
ested in the economic reconstruct
ton of the Soviet her contribu-
tions to the rehabilitation of
the world will come only from
whatever surplus may exist after
all the needs OF her 10000, 900
people have been satisfied fully.
The machinery for several flve-
year plans Is in existence. All
the Russian leaders have to do
when the war Is over Is to set in
motion these plans and start
working again for the prosperity
OF the USSR. The Russians are
certain Of Americas help during
the first period of reconstruction,
which experts on Russia believe
will be much briefer than in any
other war-ravaged country.
Hence, with her territorial aims
well defined and with her eco
nomic plans well established,
there is little that Stain can
offer to the Allies In the matter
OF postwar planning. Whatever
he can contribute can be dis
cussed after the war has been
won.
The lull in the Polish Russian
dispute and the dissolution of the
Comintern in Moscow have taken
care Of the only two outstanding
political matters which might
have formed the basis of an i'm
portant discussion between Pres
ldent Roosevelt and Stain.
AS far as the immediate mill
tary problems are concerned, no
discussion is required at present.
The question of an eventual CO.
operation in the Far East is so
remote that no heart t-to-heart
