A Broader View
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 There have been many indications of late that America is broadening her horizons that interna- tional responsibilities, particularly in postwar plan ming, generally recognized throughout the nation
 One straw, which pointed the way of the wind, the apparent ease with which Secretary Hull has prepared the way for renewal-for period of three years-of his reciprocal trade agreements. These contracts with 27 outside countries may extend into the postwar area Still with the exception of blasts from few members of Congress on whom the mark of isolatonism yet stands it looks as if Republicans and Democrats alike will support the renewal request
 Another indicator has been series of an- nouncements from the headquarters of Clarence Streits Union Now in Washington, telling of more and more support for his proposed federation of democratic nations as a bulwark against future war and aggression
 But of all the pointers, probably the most inn portant the sales chart in the office of Simon and Schuster publishers of Mir Wendell Willkies One world" The former Republican presidential candi- dates book is outselling any edition within the mem ory of United States publishers. Gone With the Wind" has been left in it's own dust, as have other best-seers One World" is being hustled out of bookstores by an anxious public at the rate of 900 copies day --er- '.' ' .'a
 Few persons interested enough to buy his book fail to understand Mr. Willke's opposition to the so latonist theory. His support of international CO., operation, as a political and economic theory, has been thundered up and down the land
 The tremendous popularity of his book dealing with these ideals is certain proof that the United States although slowly has moved far from the days when it spurned Woodrow Wilson's World Court and all the things the court stood for.

 Hopkins, Hartman and Bait had flown to Moscow to assure Russia of lend-lease support and to ascertain just what materials were needed. One of the things Stalin especially requested was aluminium called in the trade piano wire" and used to reinforce the wings and struts of airplanes.
