did. in their recent utterances,
when he remarked, about the
same time that the admiral and
Henry were expressing them
selves. that the United States will
have approximately 100000 sol
diers abroad, in 1914, which he
appears 10 consider the likeliest
end.of.the war year.
STANDBY. as our Moscow am
bassador, complained that Marsh
al-Premier josef Stain has hushed
up news. to his countrymen, rel
alive to the help we are giving
them in their campaign against
the Nazis. He did not so much
as hint at a reprisal against sta
lin. however. He simply appeal
ed to Stain 10 be more commun-
icative
Wallace warned the United
States. not the Muscoyites, OF the
dangerous situation that Will de
velop If We doublecross them at
the wars end
This crack made patriotic
Americans far madden than Am
bassador Standley's observation.
The ambassador. after all, was
finding fault only with the Rus
sian premier. Henry Wallace as
sumed possibility that We will
be guilty of subsequent double
crossing
The English press takes a diff
terent attitude.
1t wants United Nation cohe-
sion right now. but the threat of
friction later gives it the shivers.
Naturally, John Bull will be right
under the postwar international
gun. His policy, obviously, IS
Beware of the future as per
Henry Wallace's formula. Ad-
miral Standley's discussion re-
lated to the immediate present,
There are two PHILOSOPHERS:
! Lick the enemy-regardless.
That is Admiral Standley's rea-
soning.
.. Lick the enemy, to be sure
but do everything imaginable to
guarantee a civilized world later.
That is Henry Wallace's program.
Otherwise, according to Henry,
we'll have to fight World War Ill
Henry's demand is for an inter
national accord. Britain agrees.
The question is. though Don't
We and the. British propose to
dominate it? Germany does not
matter She will be crushed and
will not signify.
But. asks Henry Wallace:
How far into eternity?
Are the Russians, finally, dem
ocratic? They say they are.
Henry Wallace seems to think 1t
possible. The English press
seems TO think so.
Russia had a spell OF bugs

The thing has developed into
a kind Of system. Kropotkin did

ment whatever, but an antigov-
eminent Just what IT is now,
there is no telling.
It's NO government and yet
it's all kinds OF it.
1t is just popular opinion.
What we want Is a general
war council as our requirement.
We are too mixed in our YER
dict.
The muss, obviously. Is going to
be in the postwar period.
Well, at that stage OF the game.
we will have 100000 soldiers on
the job TO say something impera-
tive.
At least. that is the intimation
that some Of the foreign press is
trying to edit into War Undersec-
rotary Patterson's observation.
Pat may have intended nothing
OF the kind.
Still. ii was coincidence that

and Wallace were speaking for
