KITCHEN REVOLUTION

(ChrlStlan Science MOnltOr)
The food shortages and the rationing
may combine to make American con-
SumerS feel they are on wartime basis,
but this is only partially true To be
fully cooperative in helping the farmer
save the world from famine, American
housewives will have to learn there are
foods expensive in terms OF labor, no
less than in money.
For many years the American house
wife has been urged to find many of her
food values in dairy products, meats.
eggs. and vegetables that require many
man-hOurs to produce and handle. The
switch must now be made to find these
nutritonal factors IN easily grown Ger
eals and potatoes, with miXed-in pro
teins from field vegetables, such as soy
bean flour
Well-balanced meals, replete with es-
sential values, can be prepared from
foods cheaper in terms of labor. The
stringencies Of rationing will doubtless
turn the thoughts Of housewives in these
directions.
The government. the newspapers, and
other agencies must cooperate in pre-
senting accurate information on this sub
iect, for il actually means a revolution
in most of the kitchens Of America. Many
of tEa eating habits and favored recipes
of A generation must be set aside
Special care and thought might we'll
be given 10 kitchen suggestions that will
retain for American women much of the
freedom from long hours over sink and
range that they have gained in recent
years Already some are learning that
many fruits and vegetables require little
or no cooking or preparation before going
on the table.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
IS NOW UNDERWAY

Most of us have been lethargic insofar
as thinking in very great detail about thc
terms of the peace which is to follow the
war
This tendency to lag behind diplomatic

opposite tendency with regard to local
and national issues On these, the public
often has been far ahead of the states

the smart politicians and possibly be-
cause local issues root in the soil at our
very feet But when il comes to think
ing ahead as to the basis upon which TINS
war is to be settled, that Is something else
again.
Just about everybody has believed we
should win the war first and do the set
Ting afterwards. Somehow, we have telt
that bothering about the last chapter oil
the book before we finish the initial pages
is getting the cart before the horse. Now.
however. are we becoming fully aware
that this reasoning is faulty, beginning
to realize that fighting the war and writ
ing the peace are things that must go side
by side instead of in tandem.
When wars are over, nations usually
want things. We learned this to our sor-
row following the last war. Because we
didn't define objectives until AFTER
the 1918 armiStce, we failed to achieve
our detectives and were branded Uncle
Shylock. while our Allies wrote the peace.
Lest history repeat, it is therefore i'm
perative that we define our targets now
while we are in a dominating position to
stick UP for our own concepts. After all,
the writing of peace Is more question
of issues between the allied VlctorS, than
between victorS and VanquShed.

PREPAREDNESS FOR PEACE

The League of Nations failed because
we were not mentally large enough 10
master such mountainous problems. Now,

with the times and be sufficiently pre-
pared to say with highest intelligence.
This is right" or This is unwise."
1t is to be greatly desired that this
time, unlike a quarter century ago, we
the people be permitted to witness and
study the development of these concepts
side by side with the statesmen and
leaders. the economists and diplomats.
\ good plan must not fail because of our
lack of understanding; q poor plan
should not be accepted through faulty
reason.

What Do Our Allies Want?

Our allies are group of world powers
of different status. divergent types OF
government. and widely distributed local
ity on the globe Each is fighting dit
ferent kind Of war; each is contributing
in varied means and measure. As these
things differ, SO may wants and desires
differ and hence we had best agree upon
our purposes now; otherwise there may
never be any agreement at all.
What does Russia want? Does she
want Poland the Baltic states, the right
to communize Germany, to dictate all
terms regardless of our opinion? What
does England want? What does China
want?
These are things we want to know, but
we must tread lightly for fear OF split
ting the Allied nations asunder in the
midst of conflict. But know them we
must. lest later on we learn we battled
for pig in poke and got the poke.
The very danger of internal riffs with
in the Allied ranks, however, explains
the slow and cautious nature of the ef-
fort itself But the effort is there and has
been ever since the beginning. From the
Atlantic meeting of Roosevelt and Chur-
chill, on through countless diplomatic
stages down to the present visit OF bril-
liant Anthony Eden to Washington, the
peace conference is actually underway
1t may more and more emerge into the
open as time goes along. If Chinese and
Russians unite in the Washington ses-
sions, the Big Four will literally be grad
uating into a fairly advanced stage. 1t
is to be desired that this come about. and
that considerable public frankness at
tend such progress.
Realization that such discussions are
doubtless fairly well advanced, makes
US wonder what our statesmen are set
ting forth as this country's desires and
nhiectiVeS

In a later interlude, the playwright

out OF respect to the mans worth

The second act of "The Patriots"

In it is recounted the struggle, a
thing of amazing cleverness, in
which Hamilton undertakes to de-
stroy the Jefferson ideal of govern

two great minds, and Jefferson's
bad moment in it is when he re-
