to Moscow, and when Beaverbrook heard Hartman was going with Churchill to Washington, he de- cided to come for the ride. Also, Beaverbrook especially wanted to visit his New York asthma spe- cialist, Dr. Al Barach, who has been treating him for three years and who has developed a helium treatment for the ailment. "Thc Beaver" has found that his asthma gets worse as result of nervous ness, but that when he keeps out of critical parliamentary debates he is relatively well,
 Another "mysterious" member of the Churchill party is Lord CherWell. His other name is Pro- lessor Frederick Lindemann, and he has done important researches on the quantum theory. But why did he come to Washington?
 The answer Is that His Lordship the Professor, by mathematical calculations once figured out means of getting a plane out of a tailspin, and when challenged that this was merely "theorctical" he hopped into a plane, put 1t into q spin, and got 1t out again by application of his "theory'. He is now an adviser to the Royal Air Force and came to Washington to help discuss plans for bombing Germany.
 Members of the Churchill party of 90 range widely in rank, but when they got to this country, every one, from titled gentleman to servant, displayed the common touch of good appetite. On the train from seaport to Washington they all ordered two types of food which are rarities in Britain rcd meat and ice cream.

 There Is much amazement eX- pressed over the fact that the Na2i legionS did not make q last ditch fight in Tunisla, but surrendered docilely long before their ammuni- ton and supplies were exhausted. There is further exclamation over the spectacle of Na2i generals Weep- ing or quarrellng over places in small boats which might provide escape. But these things should surprise no one, no more should they be taken as indications that the war fin Eurpoe will be over q week from Tuesday.
 In l040, when Germany ap- peared inylnciblo, w. r. Foerster, an anti-Na2i and -militarist Ger man exile published a book called Europe and the German Question, D which bears frequent re-examina- tion and should be required reading for the peacemakers. Tn 1t he men toned the fact of the Germans tendency to give up when victory appeared an impossibiiity. He also prophesicd that major disaster in the field would be followed by the incredibly fast collapse Of the Nazi regime. The Tunisia defeat cannot be counted major disaster for the Germans, hence the sequei will not be the liquidation of Hitlerism. But 1t is well to bear this prediction in mind, for the necessity of setting Up some kind of temporary order and devising a permanent order in Europe may be thrust upon us sooner than we expect. It is vital that we be prepared for the event. uality.

Over the Dam

The salmon yield this season is eXcep- tional. So we read frequently in reports from different salmon areas. All this is to the good. Shortages at this particular time mean a lot to the food program as it applies to the civilian and armed forces population.
 One very important fish story ieatur- ing salmon that means much to the nation is the announcement that the greatest fish runs in the country have been saved. These are at Bonneville and Coulee dams where engineers have con structed fish ladders which allow the big dishes" to go their way unhndered, over the dam. Previously to that scheme the Chinook salmon were blocked from their spawning grounds, and as a story in the current issue of "COronet' states, do not propagate when kept from their spawning territory in the mountains. The falls of the dams batter them about which leads to their destruction and SUD- sequent loss to the salmon industry.
 The new engineering erectlons as plan ned and executed by engineers. Ladders to help the fish over have been of valu- able assistance for the Chinook salmon runs, both the COulee and Bonneville dams obstructing and destructlng the salmon. Grand Coulee has the biggest dam ever constructed with fall of water at the dam, twice as high as Niagara, so it can be appreciated what the fish were up against here. All this seems to add up to the weeks biggest fish story.

 But the Prime Minister has much more than valet. He has a retinue of seven, including his personal physician, Lord Moran; his private secretary, MT. Rowan; his personal assistant. Command CT Thompson; a clerical officer, q valet, and two detectives.
 One of the detectives is none other than the famous Inspector W. H. Thompson, who, when Lon don police found a dead body in a trunk, solved the mystery and found the murderer.
 The Prime Minister and his rctinue of seven stayed at the White House. But the other 82 members of the party were farmcd out wherever hotel space could be found for them.

A Hopeful Sign
Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Cincinnati Enquirer
That part OF the report Of the Natural Resources
Planning Board which recommends changes in the
present tax structure to allow the building of cash
reserves by industry, such reserves to be used for
conversion to peacetme operation after the war ends
is a sensible proposition.
AS was pointed out by this newspaper some weeks
ago. many dangers of postwar economic recovery can
be avoided if industry is able to switch swiftly from
war production into production for peace. Large
expenditures will be necessary to make the change
over; under the present tax system it is impossible
for industries to build up adequate reserves against
this postwar emergency.
Under the best of conditions there will be a
period of unemployment during the weeks when
plants switch their machines and tools from war ma
terials to normal items of trade Unless industry
has stable cash reserves which operate these
periods of unemployment may be so long that dis
aster and depression will result
1t is hopeful to learn that Federal agency
among other agencies which so long have ham
strung industry is actually foreseeing the need
for reserves after the and is admitting the i'm
possibility of building such without changes
in present tax regulation.
