 In his widely acclaimed book one World, Wen dell Wikie declares that this war in which Ameri- cans are fighting and dying is war of liberation
 It is. to him, a war of liberation which includes giving to all peoples freedom to govern themselves as soon as they are able and the economic freedom on which all lasting self-goyernnent inevitably rests
 MT. Wilkie may overestimate the oneness of this world and underestimate the deep-seated differences in ways of living and thinking that exist in various parts of this globe But there is no doubt that in these statements he expresses Americas finest aspir

Wlkie reports, have created. throughout the world an enormous fund of goodwill and admira- ton for America which is "the biggest political fact of our time" and unfying force" which 1t is our deep responsibility to preserve. a sA

The failure of MT. Staln to announce to worried world Russias specific aspirations with reference to Eastern Europe weighs the scales once more against the proclaimed purposes of leaders.

 About an hour later, he came scrambling back from the Jap lines. I asked him just where in thunder he had been.
 He said: I dropped letter from Ma out there that I hadn't had time to read. I had to go back and get it.

most of the traffic needs of the civilian population large portion of which is engaged in essential work providing for the needs of the armed forces Just what these needs are, in the way of civilian travel alone may be judged when it requires seventy five passenger trains to move the traffic each day over the Pennsylvania Railroad between New York and Washington
