If I were to sum up what Amer
lean internationalists expect from
the Moscow conference, I would say
that their feeling about it is perhaps
too theoretical, too diffuse, too
general.
They want an understanding with
Russia. They have been telling each
other that America must live with
Russia, that the Russians are, after
all, very different from American
Communists, that Russia is really
(Which means not really leaving
Communism behind and becoming
capitalist and nationalist. So,
Americans are prepared for a broad,
theoretical agreement, general un-
derstanding to the effect that the
capitalist countries and Russia have
agreed to work together, to live and
let live
Americans are not prepared, I
think, to discover that Russia is
relatively unconcerned, at the mo-
ment, with these broader questions,
and is exclusively interested in the
opening of second front.
That will be a real shocker to
American opinion, should it turn out
to be the case. The best of Amer
lean opinion has, in very sincere
way, been concerned with liking
Russia more. 1t has not yet taken
up the corollary question of what we
must do to make Russia like us
That is new territory for US, wild,
unfamiliar and uneXplored Our first
view of it may be startling indeed.

Civic Organizations
Urged 10 Confer on
D. {. Suffrage Plan

j. j. Watson, president of the
Anacostia Citizens Association, last
night urged all organizations in the
District to get together and agree
on a pattern for reorganization of
the present District government
setup and then present their plan
to Congress.
The association voted that action
be taken to find a suitable building
in the area for use as boys club.
1t was said that juvenile delin-
quency was increasing because of
the lack of proper inside recrea-
tional facilities and that there was
an immediate need for such struc-
ture with cold weather on the way.
The prevalence of delinquency
among children as young as 10 aug
ments the need for such building, it
was stated.
Membership Drive.
Another resolution passed inaugu-
rated an association membership
drive. The organization will ask
assistance from high school stu
dents in soliciting funds from
new members. A third of the money
collected will 60 to the library
fund; another third to the high
school athletic fund, and the re-
mainder to the association.
A committee was appointed to
amend the bylaws, which revision
is to be presented at the next
meeting. Appointed were William
J. Tucker, chairman: Fred Fergu-
son, Frank Tew, Lorenzo Thompson
ana Robert Hellmuth.
All officers we're reelected except
the secretary, Frank P Kimmell,
who said he would be unable to
serve another term. Mrs. Francis
NJ Walters. jr., will serve tempo
rarily.
a report on the branch library
that opened in November, 1912,
showed a circulation of IS, $50 books
and registration of 4,212 persons.
Years Activities Reported.
In a final report which includes
a summation of the years activities,
Mr.. Watson said that the asSocia-
liou's long fight for an additional
reservoir for the southeast section
had at last become a reality, and
that construction on the reservoir
will get under way by December l.
He also stated that the associa-
ton would continue to work for the
construction of a new hospital in
southeast.
A resolution to contribute S25 to
the Community War Fund was
passed by the organization.
Seven applications for member
ship in the association were
accepted.
The meeting, held at the Ana
costa High School, was presided
over by the president.

This Changing World

Gen. de Gaulle have not changed.
He continues to regard the Amer
leans as selfish, uncouth and
greedy and does not attempt to
conceal his views. The British
do not stand much higher In his
estimation.
But now that the American
and British foreign secretaries
are in Moscow and word has
come from Russian headquar-
ters that some sort of general
agreement favorable to all con-
cerned might be reached the
propaganda services of the
Algiers Committee have sus-
pended their "anti-Anglo- Saxon"
activities until the end of the
conference.
In the meantime, however, the
American government continues
to speed the rearmament of the
French forces. Modern war ma
terial and equipment for about
10000 men has been rushed to
North African ports. Tanks,
planes and modern machine
guns are in the hands of the
French, who with the assistance
of American and British tech
nicians are training their soldiers
to weld them into a real up-to-
date army.
Still Months Away.
Although the bulk of the war
material already is in North
Africa it is not expected that the
new French divisions will be
ready for action-except in occa-
sional small raids-until next
March. What is left of the
French navy has been refitted in
the United States.
At one time the ships crews
were regarded as definitely hos
tile to Gen. de Gaulle. The Off
GERS regarded him and his fol-
lowers as upstarts and did not
wish to have anything to do with
him. This attitude also has
undergone transformation. The
officers, who play a more i'm
portant role with the crews in the
French navy than the army off,
GERS play with the ground forces,
are rapidly veering to Gen. de
Gaulle. They may not like him
personally, but they feel that he
will be the man who will become
the big noise" in France after
the Nazis have been defeated.
Consequently they are willing
to play ball with him and view
him in the same light as they
viewed so many other premiers
they did not approve of but who
did represent France for good or
bad.
From the practical viewpoint
the only other choice they have
is retirement, since there is no
other leader to whose banner
they can rally.

States. The fight over this bill Is
just beginning. State governors,
whose recent conferences have
opened new chapters in statesman-
ship. are coming to the support of
the bill. But we may expect a full
dress New Deal attack upon 1t. II
this succeeds, the door will be
opened to almost limitless invasion
of the States, not by authority Of
Congress but by bureaucratic manip-
ulation Of judge-made law. Be-
cause it is a back-door entry, 1t IL
high time to turn on the lights.
200 Companies Indicted.
Back in 1898, the Temporary Ma
tional Economic Committee, well
padded with New Deal staff lawyers,
made major attack upon life in
surance. The companies did we'll in
meeting this effort, but it was clear
that the next attack would be on
fire insurance. The war intervened,
however, and a less direct attack
began. The Justice Department, In
August, 1912, brought about the in
dictment of over 200 companies and
individuals in the Federal District
of Atlanta. The case made by the
Government was elaborate. 1t dis
played vast erudition. Its real OBJ
ject was quite obviously to bring
about legal revolution in the ira
ditional rights of States to regu-
late insurance.
The point was that if the Gov
ernment could get the courts to
reverse the law of rs years and to
declare insurance to be commerce,
they could, through criminal anti
trust proceedings, bring the control
of insurance under the Department
of Justice and throw State laws
into confusion. The effort would be
to make criminal certain actions OF
the business of insurance, which,
under State laws, were practically
compulsory.
Congress Last Hope.
Judge Underwood Of Atlanta
threw out the indictments, declaring
that THE Supreme Court decisions
must be followed by this court"
The case now must go to the new
Supreme Court, and, in light OF the
tone of that courts recent decisions,
there is good chance that the
sought-for legal revolution may be
declared there.
Only Congress can make sure that
the States can be saved from this
further loss of power. The Bailey
Van Nuys Bill is short and to the
point. Insurance, it declares, Is a
matter for State regulation. There
is no need for the displacement or
encumbrance" of the States by a
Federal bureau or otherwise. And,
since long experience has justified
State regulation, the Federal anti
trust laws shall not apply to the
business of insurance.
Here is a double-edge issue. Is
wartime proper moment to bring
about a legal revolution? And are
States, at a moment when Federal
bureaucracy is creaking in every
joint, to be further reduced in i'm.
portance? The answers lie with
Congress.

NEW YORK, May 13. = Whats Going On: Detroit fans are won- dering whether the $400 bargain will turn out to be better buy than the $52t00O beauty. Little telked-about Frank Overmire, southpaw pitcher, cost the Tigers the small amount; ballyhooed Dick Wakefield brought the five figure price
 Everyone continues strong on Wakefield, touted as terrific hit ter but still a bush-leaguer in fielding, and now the fans have al- so discovered Overmire and climbed on his bandwagon. Why? Because the youngster pitched Is scoreless innings in the spring exhibitions. Both Wakefield and Overmire played with Steve ONeill's Beau mont Texas league club last year.
 Somebody's Wrong Dept: Dixie Walker of the Dodgers gives his racial origin as Scotch Irish in this years National league Green Book while his brother Harry, of the Cardinals says he's English.

If that be- comes the case, the majors will nave to do some widespread re- cruiting from the kindergarten and the old folks home. Because, as of present date, there are no 17-year- olders in the majors and only nine greybeards past 38.
 Carl Hubben, Giants; Este Crab tree, Reds; Fred Fitzsimmons, John Cooney and Paul Waner, Dodgers. are the only past-38 National Leaguers. The junior circuit has Mike Ryba and Al Simmons of the Red Sox, Joe Heving, Indians, and John Niggeling, Browns.
