joyed If we have peace and q
measure of stability for a substan-
italy period of years." the commit
tees report said.
But 1t warned that those posi-
bilities would depend greatly upon
orderly planning and efficient han
ding of foreign affairs.
Our foreign trade will depend
upon the policies we adopt with re-
spect to Lend-Lease and rehabilita-
tion,' the report said.
Those policies, 1t added, should
be determined as soon and as def
nitely as possible and every effort
should be made to reduce the cost
to our taxpayers to minimum"
The committee pointed out that
congress expressly had requested
and received assurances before the
Lend-Lease bill was passed that as
sistance would be extended only
where the recipient was using all
of its own resources.
Resources
Such resources, Of course, in
clude foreign-held American secur-
tiles and foreign-held securities
which control basic raw materials
abroad" the report said.
For example, If England cannot
pay us dollars for petroleum needed
by her and cannot, by reason of a
shipping shortage or other situation
procure petroleum she needs from
the petroleum resources she con-
trolls in Asia, South America and
the Dutch East Indies, consideration
should be given as to whether she
should not pay for the petroleum
obtained from us by transferring to
us her ownership of an equivalent
value of foreign petroleum reserves
or of the English-held securities of
the corporations having title to such
reserves"
AS for rubber, the report said the
United States had been supplying
1t to Britain, which did not build
an adequate stockpile and which,
through the English and Dutch
controlled international rubber reg
ulations committee, hindered Mr..
Jesse Jones in his efforts to obtain
a stock pile Of rubber" for the Unit
ed States.
Must Not Be "Victim"
We must never again be such a
victim, the committee said.
On domestic problems, the report
recommended that the government
begin now to convert some indus
tries from war production to essen
tial civilian goods or even peace
time supplies. 1t said that:
War contracts should be termi-
mated as soon as the joint chiefs of
stats decide that specific items will
not be needed to prosecute the war
Suggestions by Army officials that
soldiers will not be discharged until
they are assured OF jobs are beyond
the authority of the War depart
ment." Congress never authorized a
new "WPA by forcing soldiers and
sailors to remain in the Army OF
Navy, or permitting production fol
which there Is no use"

heard the news and offered to go on
in LOUIS place. BY now DR.. Kovener,
who once despaired OF Costello's
life, had reached the studio. He and
Abbott decided it would be best for
Costello to make his appearance.
Better than letting the poor guy
sit at home, with the little fellow
in the other room," Abbott ex-
planned.
At seven p. m. Costello's face was
white, his eyes swollen. He hardly
could see the script in his hand.
The red light fiickered, the band
blasted a fanfare in the interest Of
cigarette sales, and Costello rubbed
the back OF his hand across his
brow.
"Yak, yak, yak" he laughed.
"YOure all wet" said Abbott,
launching one OF the corny TRADES
that have brought the two old-time
burlesque comics fame and large
fortunes.

shirt, socks and underwear on, +"
screamed Costello in the high
pitched voice that is his trade
mark.
"Why?" Abbott demanded.
do you know of any better way
of getting your laundry done?" Co.'S
tello asked.
Then the band thumpety-thumped
and the father who'd spent the
morning buying a birthday teddy
bear for his son slid into his chair
on the stage. The studio audience
wondered why he looked so glum
Came the next cue. A smile, which
seemed to be glued on, appeared on
what Costello called his kisser.
Now the jokes were about his H.
ness and the insurance policy Alb
bolt wanted him to buy. Costello said
he'd brought insurance two years
ago.
What happenedP" asked Abbott
Nothing" replied Costello. That's
the trouble"
But wouldn't you like a life
term?" Abbott insisted.

The jokes, insofar as those wht
knew of the drowning were con-
cerned, went from bad to worse. Cos
tello carried on till the show wa!
over. He hat there with his deac
cigar while Abbott strobe to the mi
crophone and said:

section $50 which states specifical-
Iy that in the case of tie, such
special election shall be held only for
the two candidates.
Alderman Gerard Is thought Of as
one Of the most popular and widely
known of city officials, and it Is
pointed out that such an election
may prove to be landslide In his
favor. Speculation on this phase ex-
tended to the suggestions that Alder
man Kingston might protest that
such a special election was an un-
fair trial, inasmuch as one OF the
most ironical phases Of the situa-
ton is that both Democrats and Re-
publicans alike are entitled to vote
in this special polling.
The section relating to this elec-
ton also states that 1t must take
place within seven days after the Or
iginal election, which is next Tues
day, an angle that presents complex
difficulties.
The time element Is one of the
most prominent obstacles inasmuch
as the use of paper ballots means
the filing of candidates names by
the city clerk with the office Of the
Secretary of State. the printing and
issuance of the ballots by the latter

The Ickes-Lewis agreement pro-

The landing on Bougainville in {:
sense is the stepping stone method

that Rabaul is still the Japanese
stronghold in the southwest Pacific
and full possession of Bougainville
will permit more effective attacks

would be open for an Allied thrust

A precedent already has been set
for Turkey to grant bases TO the
Allies. Only last month, Portugal
turned over bases In the Azores TO
the Allies In augmentation OF an
ancient assistance pact.
Diplomatic sources doubted how
ever, that Turkey actually will enter
the war or that Eden even would
suggest such action. The Allies
stand TO gain almost as much from
use Of the Dardanalles and air
bases and this alone would represent
another major political and mill
tary shock TO Germany.
