-BORAH's BAD ADVICE

From that time on, as you well
know. made clear by repeated
messages TO the American Con-
gress and by repeated statements
to the American people the dan
ger threatening from abroad-and
the need of rearmipg to meet il.
In July, 1899, / tried to obtain
repeal of the arms embargo pro-
visions in the neutrality law
which tied our hands against sell
ing arms to the European democ-
racies for defense against Hitler.
The late Senator Borah told a
group, which ! called together in
the White House, that his own
private information from abroad
was better than that of the state
department-and that there would
be no war in Europe.
And il was made plain to Mr..
Hull and me that, because of the
isolationiSt vote, we could not
possibly hope to attain the desired
revision of the neutrality law.
This fact was also made plain
to Adolf Hitler. A few weeks
later he brutally attacked Poland
and the second World War had
begun.
In 1871. this administration
proposed and the Congress passed,
in spite Of isolationist opposition,
the lend-leaSe lava practical
and dramatic notice To the world
that we intended to help those
nations resisting aggression.
These dayS--and | am now
speaking of October, 1944-I hear
voices on the air attacking me for
my failure" TO prepare this nation
for this war and TO warn the
American people of the approach

NO SLAVERY PLANNED

The German people are not 60
ing to be enslaved-because the
United Nations do not traffic in
human slavery. But il will be
necessary for them to earn their
way back into the fellowship of
peace-loving and law-abiding ma.
tons. And. in that they are not
encountered by having to carry
guns. They will be relieved OF
that burden--we hope, forever.
The task ahead of us will not
be easy. Indeed il will be as diff
ficult and complex as any task
which has ever faced an American
administration.
l will not say to you now. or
ever. that we of my party know
all the answers. ! am certain,
for myself, that I do not know
how all the unforsecable diff
culties can be met.

STRAND

Beverly Whitney shares singing honors with Dick Haynes in the film which also stars Monty Woolley and June Haver and current at the Strand thSSter.
 When she was IT, her mother took her to New York on trip. At the famous Rainbow Room she met John Roy and sang for him. He was impressed and offered her a job, giving Beverly tine opportunity of making her debut in the country'S $ Swankiest dinner club. Her en- gagement of Is weeks set a record.
 Among the throngs who saw and heard her was the inevitable Holly wood director-G Gregory Ratoff, it chanced-who sent the no less in- evitable talent scout around to sign her to a 20th Century-Fox cou- tract.
 Now she has her big chance. A daring speculation, some might call it, this casting of a girl the screen fans don't know, in a costly techni- color production. But Director Gre gory Ratoff doesn't think so, nor

justment would be easier for both husband and wife if the men were told what to expect their wives to be like. They should be cautioned just as carefully about how to deal with them.
 The wife hasn't faced danger and hardship as her husband has (though many of them have had their babies alone and seen their children through desperate ill., ness) but the war years haven't been easy years for her.
 Why not tell her husband what she will expect life to be like when he comes home. He will want peace and quiet, she is told. But shouldn't he know, too, that the wife who has led the life of widow will want to go places and do things. If he understood her need of some gaiety and social life, the husband, though he might not be willing to cooperate for 8 time, would not blame her for wanting to once again have man take her places.
 WORKS BOTH WAYS
 She is being told that her hus- band may want to be by himself much of the time. Shouldn't he know that If she follows him around too much it is because she has been so lonely without his daily homecoming to look for ward to?
 She is being told he may not want to talk much when he gets back. Shouldn't he know that she may need desperately to talk, feeling that the gap of time that stands between them must somehow be covered?
 She is being told he may be curt and gruff, having lived so long in . masculine world. Shouldn't he know how much she win need tenderness and under standing having 50 long filled

 Most authorities on baby care now advise that training in toilet is eight or ten months of age. By habits be postponed until the baby that. time he is old enough to aSso- ciate his feelings on the toilet chair, and will son learn to control his bowels until he is given this op- portunity.
 Bladder training is more diff cult, and will take longer than bowel training. It is better to for get about bladder training untily bowel training is accomplished.
 When you start training, put the child on thet oilet at the time he usually has a bowel movement. DON'T SCOLD CHILD
 Don't keep him there more than ten minutes. Continue each day to put him on the toilet at the usual time. If he succeeds in hav- ing his movement at that time praise him, but if not, don't Scold or show any concern about his failure. It is very important that the training be accomplished without emotional conflict. If the toilet time becomes 8 disagree able experience the child will rebel against it, and the training period will be unnecessarily pro- longed.
 Training child in toilet habits requires a great deal of patience and understanding. But if the mother persists in it consistently and conscientiously, remembering that responsibility for success rests on herself instead of on the child, it can usually be accomplished in from six weeks to two months.

 Best Friends, Seyerest Critics Can Save You White Elephants
BY ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

Best way to keep white elephants out of your closet-expensive mis- takes in clothes-is to enlist the help of a critical friend when you shop.
 George V. Denney, Jr.-chic wife of Americas Town Meeting of the Air" moderator-is a husband who is as concerned as you are about how you look, but whose judgment is a bit more objective.

day his statement to Commons on
this bizarre terror weapon, provok-
ing critical questions from restive

consider giving the German gov
ernment an. ultimatum that unless
their latest method OF terrorism
the robot planes, ceases within, say
48 hours. steps will be taken sys-
tematically and Immediately to de-
stroy undefended German towns?'
The question will be directed to
Mr.. Churchill later.

announced that Mr.. Churchill would
