over the American public. The short-wave radio reaching Fin land, reported that the people were angry at the Films.
 It was only then that the real truth leaked out regarding the toast to Japan which the Prime Minister of Finland had given on the anniversary of Pearl Har-, bOr. The State Department had
 known about it all the time, but : peatedIy denied It. Apparently
 the career boys didn't want the
 American public to know who
 their friends and who their enemies were.
 Meanwhile, the Office of War Information had authorized short wave broadcasts back to Finland regarding the incident so that the Finnish people would know how anti-American and pro-Jap- anese their Prime Minister was.
 The incident illustrates the gen- eral policy of the State Depart rnent to champion Russia,s neigh bors, even though they are at war with Russia. For some time the State Department baked at the declaration of war against Hun gary and Rumania, even when these countries had declared war against us. Today Russia again is demanding that we break with Finland, which explains the hush- hush policy of the career boys. They don't want their hand forced by American public opinion.

Fashion Note

Just by way of diversion from weight fer matters, let's take time off to consider Women'S SlackS from the gentlemanIS viewpoint. Everything said must be strict ly impersonal, and should not purport to represent any universal masculine attl- tllie toward womer'S SlackS Probably there is no universal attitude toward anything that concerns women. An ur1- determinable number of men cling 10 the archaic notion that women are more attractive when they look like women. There is nothing moraliStic in their at- titude. They are concerned only with the esthetic. Moreover, these men insist that thev are reasonable in their views-that obviously there are places where women should be forced to wear Slacks even though they would prefer dresses. Pro- duction plants, for example, where sate- ty is vital factor.
 Stacks are conceded to have functional virtues when there is snow to be brushed off the portch or the walks, a furnace to be wreStIed with, rooms to be vaccum- cleaned.
 Some. but not all of the proteStants ap- prove of Slacks on the beach, in camp, for hiking and other recreational occa- sions. A goodly number appreciates we'll cut slackS for informal wear about the home and even, perhaps, when enter taining close friends. If there is any con- serlsus about the criticism, it is of slacks worn on the street for shopping, stroll ing, attending gatherings outside the hone-slacks worn with high-heeled open-toed shoes and fur coats, itself an ir1congruous combination. Probably the matter is of no particular importance, but sometime when you have opportunl- ty. hide behind something and listen to what soldiers say when they get away from camp, looking for feminine com panionship, and find 1t dressed like a man.
 Every really good editorial viewing with alarm is supposed to offer con- structive suggestion. So here goes-and please keep the nearer exits clear for the moment:
 How about an order by the WIPE, the OPA. the WING, or somebody else in Washington, that every woman shall be required to wear SlackS for the duration?
 The cynic from whom this idea Is cribbed predicts that the resulting screams of indignation, from the slacks- wearers themselves, would make Lon don afraid alarm sound like the still, arnall voice of Adolf Hitler's conscience.
