Slowly the pattern of Americas
postwar plans are taking shape. but
only the pattern.
When congress returned, it was
evident that no matter how much
disagreement there might be as to
the details of the role the United
States will play in the postwar
world, the people have registered
one idea: they want to take part in
some kind of an International or
ganization to maintain peace.
The same opinion turned up in the
conversation of three members of
congress of widely differing political
sentiments with whom talked
shortly after they returned. Speaker
Sam Rayburn told me that the one
phrase which received the most ap-
plause in the speeches he made in
the Southwest was when he said that
the United States must do a mans
job for peace.
Two leading Republican senators
expressed the same idea, namely,
that 1.-The people seem to be of one
mind" that America must join in
some kind of international effort aft
er the war to maintain peace.
The disagreements in congress
are chiefly a difference in degree
and represent a discussion, for the
most part, over details that nobody
expects congress to decide in ad-
vance anyhow.
OF course, there are two things
which make for lack of harmony;
one is the natural desire of each
political party to criticize the other
in a campaign year; the other is
the effort of small groups to get
over their own particular ideas.
Secretary of State Hull, in his
speech of September IL, made it
plain that the administration was
in favor of an international organi-
cation which would agree to use
force to maintain peace-implying
that the United States would offer
its armed forces in collaboration
with other nations TO stop aggres-
sion. He went further on the SUBJ
ject than any official so far but there
has been a feeling on the part Of
many members of congress that the
people would support such a policy.
Pooling of Resources
Meanwhile, the public has gradu-
ally come to the realization that
Winston Churchill, as the kings first
minister with plenary powers, and
President Roosevelt, as commander
in-chief and, therefore, with similar
authority, have agreed that the
United States and Britain will pool
their military resources not only I'M
til the fighting ends, but until the
emergency is ended. They will do

The Associated Press recently questioned sixty
nine Democrats and Republicans from forty two states
seeking ascertain what the people told their solons
during their visit home while Congress on vaca-
ton.
The majority found their people pleased with the
Wars progress but Critical of domestic affairs with
most of the complaints mentioning restrictions and
ulatons"
This is about what one would expect. Some of the
people at home, at most small majority of the popu
aton would like to win the but they do not like
the restrictions and regulations which affect their con-
venence.
The only Government agency singled out by name
for criticism the OPA with eleven members, most
of them Democrats, mentioning it.
1t should not require poll of anonymous Congress-
to find out what the people of this country think
in regard to the
The vast majority of Americans for any re-
strction regulation sacrifice, that will support their
fighting men. The bulk of them have no sympathy for
chronic complaners who cannot be pleased in times OF
peace, much less in times of war.

His Mistake

A careless ppe-smoker has been fined 5000 in Jer-

several warnings from Coast Guardsmen.
The man evidently had the idea that the laws of

that he could do pleased The chances that he
now realizes his mistake.
