Donald M. Nelson, chairman of
the War Production Board:

Between the Russians and our
selves there is not only a sound
basis for good international rela-
tions but also the essential human
sympathies which make for per-
sonal friendship. Everywhere |
went in Russia | noticed strong
similarities to America in the at
titudes and emotional drive of the
people. Again and again | saw
examples of the grim determina-
tion and the high spirit of pio-
neering folk - like the American
pioneers of whom we are so proud
| sensed an independence OF
thought and a cold courage that
belong to the new world. rather
than to the old world. And | came
away convinced that once we have
come to know one another better
and have surmounted the barrier
OF language there will be found
no two peoples anywhere in the
world better qualified to win each
others respect and admiration
and friendship than the Russian:
and the Americans"

George M. Norris, former Senator
from Nebraska:

"The victory that will follow
this war would be of temporary
value only unless peace is estab-

lasting. Whether we like to or
not, we must do Our part in the
maintaining OF such a peace. The
peace should disarm completely
Germany, Italy and Japan, and it
should provide also for the neces,
sary measures, whatever they may
be, to make that peace permanent
and enduring. If those measures

Whatever they may be called all

Are you a working mother who

juvenile delinquency Is greatest
among children left neglected by
working parents. Mothers are
needed in the war plants, but
Johnny and Jimmy cannot shift for
themselves. Unless some provisions
are made for the care Of children
whose parents are employed, our
war effort may be seriously i'm
