Forget Russia!
Let's Get on
With War

From the corner in which SIT

seem To me that II may be time
for the United States and England
10 take a different attitude toward
Russia.
! think We are striving too hard
to please Certainly Russia is do
ing magnificent job in this war.
And such parlor conversations on
How can We stop Russia sounds
childish TO me. Why should We
stop a winning AllyH
II would appear wiser TO me 10
stop all brooding on the subject Of
What are We going TO do about
Russia and instead to get on
with winning our part OF the war.
Butt do think Premier Stain IS
putting on a mighty long act.
We've applsuded his mystery role
for quite a while now. He isn't
going TO stop fighting because We
stop telling him he is a great,
strong wonderful elusive leader
II might be helpful II We ourselves
we're TO 20 elusive or the Soviet
Why not try it, Might make a
healthy change in international
brotherhood unity.

Her blue uniform with jacket
and pants showed Of the long
lines Of her body Her back hair
was done in the chic number Of not
too tight curls and her cap was
pulled slightly over the right eye
And her department? 1t was so
calm that the cool cucumber was
a central heating plant by COM
parison With such nonchalance
When an excited woman passen-
ger hurried toward the front exit,
the Lady Motorman said pleasantly,
Il wonder IL you would mind go
ing out the back door? There
seems TO be long line OF people
waiting az the next stop"
When a WAVE hurried forward
and cried. II lost the purse that
goes inside my pocketbook, the
Lady Motorman minded her foot
pedals and her hand throttles or
whatever the things are and eyes
straight ahead and intent on her
