the war has been greatly acceler-
ated, and the prospect for intelligent
and effective postwar cooperation
immensely enhanced.
No Mistakes or UNDERSTANDINGS.
When the separate points of the
Moscow agreement are surveyed, it
is difficult to see how much more
could have been achieved There
was ample opportunity at this con-
ference for mistakes and miSunder-
standings. They were all neglected
No mistakes were made and no mis-
understandings exist. Instead, the
former misunderstanding seem
largely cleared up; the basic essen
tlalS have all been accepted, the
cordialitV among the three nations
increased and general esteem
heightened.
1t does seem that Mr.. Hull has
treated his critics pretty shabbily.
1t is not surprising that they are
aggrieved. Senile? Feeble? Futile?
He just has not lived up to those
specifications. incidentally, they
were the same specifications that,
until recently, the same people used
to describe Mr. B. NJ Baruch
Senile. feeble. futile were the ad-
jectives employed in his case. too.
And he did not live up to them,
either. Just a couple of mean old
men who won't admit their critics
are right. It's Just too bad.

Russia. the left-wing assailants

fed as the most vociferously articu-
late of those who insist that an "ir-
reparable loss" has been suffered by

Hull could not 60 to the Moscow con-
ference because he was afraid to
travel by air; second, that he was
much too old to make the trip: third.
that he was too feeble and in too
bad health.
Then it was declared that he is
practically Senile and, anyhow, has
no conception of foreign policy and
no knowledge of foreign affairs. Also
that he was bitterly Russian
and that Premier Stain was bit
tcrly anti-Hull and that. under the
circumstances, for MI Hull to 90 to
Moscow would be to insult the Rus
slams and insure complete futility
for the conference before it con-
vened. The dreadful allegation was
also made that Mr.. Hull was not a

Critics Wrong on All Counts.
These were the counts made
against the Secretary before the
conference took shape. This is how
he replied to them:
First, he went to Moscow by air
and deeply enjoyed the trip. second.

strain as that of any other member

change In tone OF official diplo-
macy regarding the chances of
the war. Reading the interview
Of the British Ambassador, Lord
Halifax, one had the impression
that some major event must have
happened in Germany within
the past few days, for he ad-
mitted that the home front there
is beginning to crack. Actually
nothing has happened in Ger
many, which is not the approach
ing elimination Of developments
which have been going on for
many months, and which have
been described by those who en-
deavor to observe, unprejudiced
by phantoms of the German soul
and German nature. 1t is the
firm conviction of this column
that neither armies nor peoples
continue indefinitely to fight
wars that they know are hope
less, no matter what their his
tory, geography, mentality or
psychopathology may be.
What happened at Moscow is
the elimination for Germany
not anything inside Germany.
1t blasts the last hope. When
Russia joined the Analo-Amer-
ican powers in demanding un-
conditional surrender, and re-
affirmed that she would make no
separate peace, Notwithstanding
the overJures Of the German
Committee in Moscow, the last
gap in the political pincer-move-
ment is closed. Continuation of
a devastating war is therefore
tantamount to national suicide.
And suicide. as I have remarked
nature and the decision Of a
moment. 1t is never the occu-
patton of lifetime.
JapS Also Doomed.
The German high command
may have to fix quite number
of things before it hoists the
white flag But We may presume
that fixing up these preliminarieS
will be the main preoccupatiOu
of the high command from now
on. While getting out from under
will be the main preoccupatiOn
of those NaZis who see any
chance to DO so.
We may further presume that
the military situation itself has
affected the political decisions in
Moscow A Russia which sees
victory at hand is OBVIOUSLY her
self more willing to close gaps
than a Russia facing the bleak
prospect of a long and uncertain
struggle which has already cost
so frightfully in the destruction
of her peoples lives and wealth.
This fact will also be taken into
consideration by the Germans.
Finally, the great surprise OF
the Moscow conference is that it
changes the political situation III
Asia, too Although the Russians
have not indicated that they will
Join the war against Japan, they
have indicated that they are un-
concerned with what Japan may
think. and they have acSnOW.-
edged China as the leading Ash
attic nation in the Far East. That
is the meaning Of the Four Power
agreement.
Thus the political gap has also
been closed for Japan. The mill
tary defeat for Japan is still II
the distance. but the political
situation Of Japan and Germany
is parallel.

This Changing World

have been able to withdraw in
good order. 1t is true that in
the last few days there have
been indications that on certain
southern fronts the Withdrawals
have been more hasty than in
the past. For the first time in
many weeks the Red Armies
have announced the capture of
5000 soldiers on the Crimean
front.
Whether the prisoners were
Germans or troops from Axis
satellite countries is not yet clear.
But even If they were NaZiS their
number is not particularly i'm
pressive when we consider TIE
size of the forces engaged in TIE
gigantic battles in Russia.
The Moscow conference may
have a demoralizing effect on the
NaZis, if SO the result will be an
early increase in the number of
Germans surrendering or Ietus-
ing to fight. Should this be the
case we shall witness rout Of
the enemy instead of WELL
organized retreat.
In Italy the armies of Gen.
Clark and Gen. Montgomery IRE
advancing slowly. Here, 100, the
Nazis, who are now fighting only
defensive action of attrition.
have given no indication Of being
demoralized.
Advances Are Slow.
Reports from the battlefront
say the Germans are as tough as
ever and are disputing every inch
of territory, causing serious losses
to the Allied forces.
Although We have an over
whelming air superiority, progress
continues to be slow. The round
about reports from Stockholm
and other neutral capitals that
Nazi troops are being shifted
from Italy TO the eastern front
have not been confirmed from
any Official Allied source.
Quite the contrary. In the lest
few weeks the intelligence serv-
ices have identified an incre sing
number of divisions in Italy, with
at least three tank divisions COM
ing directly from the Russian
battle zone.
Our objective is said to be the
Campagna Plains north of Rome.
The advance is slow because the
terrain is not favorable for NOV
ing large forces which have to
be supplied from overseas with
everything from war material to
food.
Unless there is a serious let
down in the morale of the enemy
We probably shall be slugging our
way TO Rome the rest of the wear.
But the political unity which
is reported from Moscow will be
OF great assistance TO the formu-
lation Of new plans bringing a
more cohesive military action
against our enemey in Europe.

Food Subsidies Opposed

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Nov. 8
Opposition to Government food sub
sides was voiced yesterday at the
annual convention of the Alabama
Farm Bureau Federation by Edward
A. O'Neal, president Of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation.
Farmers are opposed to consumer
subsidies because they shift part Of
the burden from the consuming pub
lie to the taxpayers. and are there
fore wrong in principle" Mr.. O'Neal
said
They fear that if subsidies are
adopted now. when wages are high
that the people will demand even
larger subsidies in postwar days
when pay envelopes are not swelled
by overtime payments and when
wage rates will probably be consid-
erably lower than they are now"

He was started on his hobby by
want ad which appeared in the
Louisville Courier Journal in 1907:
Wanted-A cook. No washin',
no ironin', no milkin' nuthin'
but cookin', eatin', sleepin'."
That ad was quoted by big and
little papers all over this country

started me on my hunt for the
strange and curious items 1 have

ing. 1t became a fascinating hobby
which I pursued while on the Wall

Three Cities Are Best.
Mr. Barr claims that New Orleans,
Chicago and Detroit are the most
fruitful centerS for odd ads in this
country. He had a correspondent
in Manila who used to supply him
egularly-before the Japs came
with oddities from that part of the
world. OF course, the agony column
in the London Times is an inex-
haustible gold mine OF whimsy as
we'll as agony. One Of Mr.. Barr's
favoriteS is this:
"An exquisite COW for sale! Re-
f1nement vividly stamped on her

Also:

Mr.. Barr contends that Action

the want-ad columns for plot ideas,
as for example:
"Found-Lady's purse left in
