 When the President discussed this plan recently with several Senators, they asked him how we planned to handle the problem of policing Germany and other Oe- cupied enemy territory after the armistice. He replied that he hoped to do so by using men who have learned to like the Army, plus professional soldiers who were in the Army before the Selective Service program got under way.

 Not that the 90 or 100 calories cancelled by the use Of saccharin in place of sugar for swccteniEg coffee matters in my pursuit Of happiness. but by alternating periods of observation with and without this substitute for sugar I have concluded that this use Of saccharin improves my nutrition.
 Tt is not that refined white sugar or refined white flour and the many things good to cat made from them is in itself harmful in any way. The reason why our high per capita consumption of these manufactur- ed food products should worry every one concerned with national health and physical fitness and every one concerned about his own personal health and efficiency is frankly that they are cheat foods as we shall explain.

 Later, the President repeated tO some ol his Cabinet that he hadn't expected the question at his news conference. Explaining that he wanted to talk to Will- kie about postwar plans and foreign policy. not politics, he indicated that he would go ahead with his plans for the talk re- gai dless OI what had happened.
 The President was quite irEed that news about his lctetr to the former Presidential candidate had leaked out. Only a few people knew the letter existed. The carbon copy was not filed with his regular correspondence, and the first draft Of the letter had been written in his own hand writing for Grace Tully. his sec- retary, 10 copy. Only two people inside the White House were sup- posed to know about 1t.

A Wonderful Seizure
Of Opportunity

AT last it's here-the pipe-smok-
ing woman. The. scarcity Of cigar
cites has driven some of them to the
use of pipes. Probably before long
it will be a common sight to see
women up and down our streets and
in and out of our cafes, saloons and
other places of business with pipes
sticking out of their mouths. Now
only one thing is still lacking.
When we begin to see dainty cheeks
bullying over a chaw of tobacco and
red-hued lips squirting tobacco
juice then we will know her eman-
cipation is complete.
For years a constant battle was
waged to lift from the shoulders of
womankind the tyranny Of the
ages. and to gain for her The equal
rights" SO long denied her Final
ly she won the ballot and soon had
achieved the long-sought goal of
freedom from the restrictions i'm
posed on her from the beginning Of
time by the domineering male,
Equality in all things was at last
her possession. And We gods and
little fishes, what has it brought u.s..
What a wonderful advantage she
has taken of her emancipation"

A Reasonable
Program

The American Federation Of La
Dor, in convention in New Orleans
advocated a program for veterans
of the war that will undoubtedly
receive widespread support as a
sensible program. The A. F. of l..
would have the nation provide for
veterans:
GENERALIZATION pay to help in
adjustment to civilian life, hospital
ization, medical care and rehabili-
tation for the injured; effective
right to complete education and
training interrupted by war, or t.
retraining; special aid N finding
Jobs, interim placement benefits ef-
fective three months after demop-
ilizatlon and to continue for two
years after reentering the work
force"
That's program that would give
no more than their just dues to the
men who have borne the burden oil
the fight throughout the world
And the nation will unquestionably
see that the returning soldier is
amply taken care of.

Progressive
Leadership

The courage and initiative of the
individual American essence of
our victories on the battle 'front.'
are exemplified on the home front
by the words of X. T. Keller, pres
ident of Chrysler Corporation, raj
lying industry to the tremendous
task of reconverting to the peace
to come
He calls upon industry to strike
out bravely," to face squarely its
own problems" to take swift and
confident action, without reliance
upon government, without fear of
government or labor, or of stock
holders or of its critics"
Heads of American business know
better than anyone in government
what needs to be done to put their
plants back to work on peacetime
goods, Mr. Keller points out They
should make sure that everything
is done for which they themselves
are responsible" and cooperate with
government in "the things that are
the Joint responsibilities of both. "
This is industrial leadership at
its best-making its plans now for
the process of prosperity under
which all Of us in postwar can
earn more, buy more, have more.
II is American industry, with the
greatest productive capacity in all
hlstory-much Of it built for war
but capable Of being rebuilt for
peace-ready to meet its respon-
slbIlitles pledging itself to do its
part to assure, an economy of
abundance for all.

It's in the Cords

Roosevelt's election to a fourth
term as president has naturally
brought forth the question as to
whether he will seek a fifth term.
There are those who are saying that
Of course he will not; that this will
be his last four years in the White
House.
Which doesn't mean thing. And
please take note that when a re-
porter recently put the question
bluntly to the President as to
whether he would seek fifth term,
he parried the question and refused
to give direct answer.
Unless the war ends much sooner
than is expected, the nation will be
right in the midst of the difficult
task OF converting all our war ac-
tivities back to peace when anoth-
er campaign period arrives in l948.
That will provide another 1emer
gency" demanding the continued
services Of the indispensable man.
And it is foregone conclusion that
