LONDON (NANA) Il have been asked

Britain, America and Russia in the near
future. We are all doing that more or
less thoroughly, and most of use are
learning very great deal from our dis
cussions. Since am too valetudinarian

to have my library, study, Uranium and

tornado through which we are all trying
to steer.
have set down the impressions in
string of books which indeed repeat
one another, but always with an In
creased realization of implications that
were not plainly apparent some years
ago. I suppose that has to happen to
every one. We are all learning things
we didn't realize quite little while back.
I doubt If any one but blockhead or a
monomaniac can really be satisfied
with his convictions of 10 years ago. We
are all learning, and that applies just
as much to Franklin D. Roosevelt

politicians who fight so bitterly among
themselves, Lord Halifax, Goebbels, Mr.
Willkie and Mr.. Hoover, as to you and

be allowed certain liberty to change,
and when it is not simply unfair but
grossly stupid to pin him down to his
words and deeds of dozen years ago.

we still accept slogans for ideas. Has It
yet occurred to us as communities that
quite possibly world we have dominated
for more than q century may slip out Of
our control in decade? Or do we still
refuse to face that possibility? Great
masses of Americans still believe that
il only the Japanese will let them-they
may presently isolate themselves again
from the rest Of the world. But it is
not merely the Japanese: 1t Is the stars
in their courses that have brought
American isolationism to an end.
Here in Britain where we have had
the severest hammering Of any English
speaking community, it is interesting to
see how the understanding Of the COM
mon world problem spreads into mems
minds. The typical British have OBJ
stinate realistic minds that "wunt be
druv."
But do not know any one in my
pretty various circle of observation who
has not been moving mentally toward
the realization of the same realities
and necessities, which are modifying and
unifying the thought Of Russia and the
world at large, namely; the abolition Of
distance that demands an end to war
fare and common world control of the
economic life Of mankind: the conquest
of mechanical power which has super
seded human toll and with it any excuse
for social inequality; and finally the i'm
mense danger Of administrative tyranny
and stagnation through the destruction
OF initiative, which necessitates making
the rights of man the universal funda-
mental law throughout the earth.
These are the threefold aspects Of
the human situation, and to their re-
alization the human intelligence is NOV
ing everywhere. On that we converge.

the English-speaking peoples must

be very stupid, indeed, if we allow our
ideas and our possibly hasty acceptance
of facts about the Russia Of the recent

can have been put through such a men

the military point of view.
I will not complicate our problem by
bringing in China except to point out
how rapidly the factors in our problem
change. A score Of years ago China
seemed a hopelessly divided country,
an impotent confusion OF antiquated
thoughts and methods. Now, in mere

gaining control Of her great body and
her mind. China again is world re-

under German sway there has been
something like paralysis of thought.
The sufferings of the occupied countries
have been sufferings OF deprivation
rather than effort and stimulus. There
we have to consider the outlook Of de-
feated peoples who even now scarcely
dare to hope, who have not yet got that
touch of triumph which enables men to
realize the dawn Of a new and more
valiant world They have had to cling
with both hands to their old patriotic
ideas. Theirs is still the desperate men,

change as the Axis collapse goes on.
Nevertheless, these countries that have
