Mrs. Howard Strong, who will sketch

TALL silver-haired and handsome
Mrs. Strong has devoted consider
able time the past two and a hall
years to an original type of wal
work. She has contributed her tai
ents and time to sketching service
men at the USO lounge at Union
Station while they are passing
through Washington. Altogether
she has sketched 1912 soldiers, sail
ors and marines who have posed for
her during the brief period of 20
minutes which she requires to make
each sketch.
Working in light charcoal, the
artist has secured striking likenesses
OF her service models" to whom
she presents the drawing as a gift.
They all love to pose," she smiled,
"and the boys who watch over my
shoulder while I work seem to get
as much pleasure out of it as do"
Mrs. Strong has gained interesting
gllmpses into the lives and philoso-
PIXIES these young servicemen, chat

She told of young marine whose
face revealed lines entirely too seri-
GUS and hard for one she knew
must still be in his early eos.
Observing he wore no decorations
or chevrons, she thought he had
recently entered the service and
was perhaps en- route for overseas
duty.
You will make a tough fighter"
she joked as she sketched the lad.
Il am" he replied gravely. He
explained he had already been in
several battles in the Pacific and
had just returned home. He wore
no ribbons as he didn't care to,"l
Mrs. Strong explained.
She recalled a young petty officer

The boy then told his experiences
which included battles and ship
wreck from which he had escaped
with some injury but none serious.

Mrs. Strong had commented.
1T was miracle" he answered.
II was never religious before the
war, but I know now there is a
Power stronger than we who watches
over US"
Mrs. Strong told of another time
when she had worked far beyond
her usual closing hour and was put
ting away charcoal and paper when
a young boy asked urgently that
she sketch him.

Norwegian
Women Plan
Postwar Role
BY ADELAIDE KERR

THE war taught us women of
Norway-who were among the
most politically privileged women
il the world-that we did not use
Cur rights well enough"
That comment comes from Else
Margrete Roed Of the Norwegian
Information Service in New York
Miss Roed is qualified to speak
for Norwegian women. She is a
former editor Of Norway's lead
ing woman's magazine-We Our
selves and Our Home, a former
underground worker and now is in
American as an unofficial repre-
sentative of Norway's women.
Before the war" she said
gravely as she sat in her New
York office, Norwegian women
hao progressed Sc far in the mat
ter of women's rights that it was
ancient history for us. Since the
Viking days, Norwegian women
have been a vital force in the
country. The men went to sea
and the women remained at home
to assume responsibility for h e
home and the children. Norway

Chance For Lasting Peace

The two most pressing domestic problems
after the war will be jobs and taxes. And they
both hinge on the profitable operation of pri-
i vate industry. That raises the question, Where
will our industries find their markets?
In the future, with air transportation shrink
ing the globe to little more than 24-hour
trip to any point, our markets must be world
wide. Therefore, we must have foreign trade
policy that will enable us to sell, as well as
buy from our neighbors Recognizing this con-
dition, the statement of the newly organized
Committee on International and Economic Pol
icy OF which Winthrop W. Aldrich is chairman.
calls for a multilatera1 trade agreement for
the United Nations, creating an international
economic charter to define the rights of trad
ers and investors in foreign countries. It en-
dorses unconditional most favored nation
treatment, rejects regional preferential agree
ments and exchange restrictions and states
that if governments strengthen their policies
of production and restriction to achieve Sc
curity Tin contracting world economy =. :.
the end of that road is third world war"
On this statement of fundamentals, Harry D.
Gideonse, President Of Brooklyn college, says:
This is an excellent doctrine, elementary
free enterprise economics and sound political
thinking. The reputation of the trade agree
ments program at this juncture would be a
national tragedy After the war, there will be
a crying demand for Americas mass produc-
ton goods and farm products from every
country in the world. II we maintain liberal
policy regarding imports, this demand can
create thousands of postwar jobs in this coun-
try utilizing industrial and agricultural capa-
city which otherwise would be idle.
But to export we must be willing to i'm
port Hence the renewal of the trade agree
ments program is essential for maintenance Of
employment and business activity at high
level after the war. Moreover, in the Atlantic
Charter the United States is pledged to the
long-run principle that all nations, great and
small, should have access on equal terms to
the trade and raw materials of the world
Every country, therefore, If it wishes to
promote the expansion Of world trade which
is a fundamental condition for the establish
ment Of durable peace, must show greater
willingness to accept the goods Of other coun-
tries. In other words, the lowering of tariffs
under the leadership Of the great trading ma
tons, is all essential means Of realizing the
program Of economic and political cooperation
endorsed by the United Nations
