until next spring, there will be vital
diplomatic matters to be settled this
fall and winter. The Russian and Brit
ish governments, which both realize
that We are now in the last lap of the
war In Europe, are most anxious to
discuss privately" with the President
Of the United States the future of
Europe and particularly that Of their
respective zones Of influence In the
west and the east.
Prime Minister Churchills nine-day
visit to Moscow can be described Ut best
as tnconclusive. Stain and Churchill
have been more friendly personally than
ever before, but they were unable to
reach any definite agreement in con-
nection with the many important ter
ritorial and influence" problems which
exist between their countries They have
agreed to await the result of the Amer
ican election and meet again with the
ofhcial representatives Of the United
States after November.
Mr. Churchill has said he hoped the
Big Three would meet again this year,
while unofncial word has come from
Moscow that Premier Stain is equally
anxious to get together with the men
who will be at the helm in America
next year.
Such q meeting is believed to be more
important than the Teheran gathering.
There the military problems, including
Russia's further participation in the war,
were settled and the general outlines of
the future map Of Europe were drafted.
At the next conference the military
problems will play a much lesser role.
But the map of Europe will receive its
final shape. And since there are wide
divergences of views between the British
and Soviet governments, particularly in
regard to Southeastern Europe and the
Middle East, the presence of the future
President Of the United States is con-
sidered as vitality important.
America has no territorial ambitions.
Hence the American President is con-
sidered as the best possible arbiter. The
Soviet and British governments regard
as must" the settlement of all these
problems before the final offensive
against the Germans can be launched
on all fronts

Letters to The Star
Readers Continue Their Debate
OF Political Issues.

TO the Editor Of The Evening Star:
II Gov. Dewey Is elected President,
it should be on his record. for that is
good, while his speeches are otherwise.
No great ingenuity or insight, only the
technique Of consummate prosecutor,
is required to exploit the notorious de-
fects in the administration record, and
1t Is hard to see why, with such an
abundance of good material, the Cover
nor should have gone out OF his way,
trying to confirm the teaching OF the
Nazi experts on mendacity, that falsifi-
cations are more successful when large
and often repeated.
The most serious defect in Mr.. Dcwey's
case, however, is the incompleteness of
his statement regarding the most critical
issue-jobs after the war. President
Roosevelt, with the benefit of much adj
vice, tried hard to conquer unemploy-
ment, and his imperfect success shows
that there are many leading men who
could not solve that problem. and that
there Is no one who understood it we'll
enough to get a satisfactory solution
accepted. Yet Mr.. Dewey talks as If he
were sure Of immediate success, so that
he can bring all the boys home into
jobs right off. What brilliant economic
discovery or invention he has found
enabling him thus to outguess the eco
nomic Sphinx he has not yet told in
any definite way. Hence his grand,
shining, impressive, hopeful design of
fog reminds us of the scene IN Shake
speare's Henry w, where Owen Glen
dover is boasting Of his supernatural
power: Il can call spirits from the
vastly deep" Hotspur replies: why,
SO can 1 or so can any man; but will
they come when you do call them?"
better accomplishment than Mr..
Roosevelt's is conceivable Gov. Dewey
