she became executive secretary of the insu-
tute, which under her direction became an
agency independent of the YWCA, of which it
had originally been a branch, and developed
into one of the leading Institutions of its
type in the country. Present plans call for
establishment of the organization in a build
ing of it's own, marking realization of a long
time aim.
Organizations in which Mrs. Sickels has
been active during her residence in st. Paul

Mrs. T. E. Gillingham, the house guest of
her sister. Mrs. A. Y. Peterson of Duluth.

Big Three Will Maintain Peace

The Quebec Conference and the prelim- mary discussions in the campaign were all aimed in the same direction as the Dumbarton Oaks Conference. Strange as 1t may seem, most everyone appears to agree.
 For many months there has been Q tre- mendous lot of discussion as to whether the United States can trust Russia ana Great Britain to work together on a plan to end wars. Undoubtedly Russia and Britain have been just as inquisitive about this matter as we are. Now, all three countries seem to be agreed that the principal nations that win victories must stick together in common de- termination to maintain the peace of the world,
 A real pattern has been established and If 1t is carried out these three Big Boys will be the principal powers in World Council which may be enlarged by ad- mitting China, France, and possibly others Associated with this Council will be an Assembly made up of the small nations of the World.
 As time goes marching on, large and small groups of nations will take tneir place in the formation of World GOV ernment, backed by armed forces or the air, land and seas, charged With the outy of preventing the rearmament of coun. tries like Germany and Japan. or course there are a good many skeptics, even in our own country, Nevertheless, the above is the chart of the Big Three at the pres ent time,

Views Of The Press

highest returns from whole milk sales: butter demand is very much higher in formerly depressed areas In some sections of the South it has nearly doubled; and we know about the military and other oVer- seas requirements.
 Those arc the facts that must be arraycd against the usual stories we may now expect to hear multi- piled about millions of pounds be- Ing allowed to spoil In Government storage, about the Russians using lt for axle grease and so on. There may be Q certain amount of wastage and bungling but the nub of the matter is simply that demand Is out- running supply. One estimate of the deficiency Is 600 million poundsl
 The butter situation gives us an interesting illustration of the work ing of the wartime anti-inflation controls. without these controls and faced with the acute shortage, butter prices would probably rise to @ or more O pound, and only the Well-to-do could enjoy 1t. Under ra- tioning. tho supply will be more fair. ly divided and the cost of living will not get out of hand.
 Since this shortage may continue through the winter, the thoughts oi many will turn to using more mar garine. It is now more than ever hard to justify the discriminatory taxes and coloring regulations irn- posed against that product.

Where Legislation Ends

Congress has passed some good and necessary benefits for returning veterans, such as financial help and job guaran- tees for former workers, But Congress can do only so much, Many veterans are going to need and deserve other and less tangible assistance. Probaply tne owens Illinois Glass Company Is not the only company which merits commenda- ton for considering these veterans needs, but theirs Is the first outline to come to hand In the sales and junior executive departments, veterans already returned are working with unofficial tutors"
 Refresher courses are given to explain any changes In method or regulations, and efforts are made to make the e%- soldier feel that he has never been away Factory workers In service who are eligl- ble for reinstatement get personal let- ter from their plant manager before theif discharge. On their return they are met by veterans co-ordinators who explain any changes In procedure, and consult with veterans on new skills, or war acquired handicaps,
 Such activities cannot be legislated or made compulsory. But they should pc encouraged and made general. The added effort will certainly pay large diVldends in helping men through what one one Owens-illinois spokesman called the reverse shock" of returning to civilian life and work.

New Partnership A.Borning

When Earl Browder was Communist candidate for president he Spake as Com muniSt, But no more. He has packed the party in camphor for the duration, So when he made @ speech the other night in New York 1t sounded, in tone and spirit, like a lot of other campaign speeches this election year. It was on the wild and eXtravagant side, which is in the best political tradition. It predicted everything just short of the end of the world If MT. Dewey should be elected. MT. Providers logic was no more flattered by close examination than that of most campaigners. His thesis seemed to be that since MT, Dewey objects to Com. munism In America, his election would wreck all hope of world peace, and would invite every country In Europe to plunge into immediate civil war;
 But the thing that impressed us was that Mr. Providers thought, once the sulphurous smoke had drifted away, was baslcally similar to that of Harland H, Aliens booklet, "The BuSineSsman's Stake in America-SoViet Friendship"
 MT, Allen doesn't sound like Com munist. He is Q consulting economist with his own investment management business in Chicago, Ills main interest, judging from the booklet, Is in private enterprise and the interests of business men and investors. And for the sake of those interests he feels any postwar fric- ton with Russia might be ruinous, The wars end says MT. Allen, will find this country and Russia In possession of most of the worlds military and industrial power, He suggests the possibility of their fighting 1t out, as Rome and Car thAge did 2,000 years ago, or collaborat- inH, as the United States and Russia have in the matter of sea power during the past century. Mr. Allen makes other sound and obvious points: that Russia offers an excellent postwar market; that we aren't the only country she can trade with; that Russia has licked tough ene- mics like transportation bottlenecks, food shortages and industrial disruption, as well as the Nazis; that this took resource fulness and character that can work wonders in peace as well as war; that Anerican-Soviet harmony is about the best guarantee of world security.
 These may have been some of the things that MT. Browder was driving at, though certainly for different reasons. But the point Is that the considerations favoring good relations with Russia must be apparent to most thinking Americans including MT, Roosevelt, MT, Dewey, MT. Browder and the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers. We shall probably get along with the Russians and do bus mess with them so long as businessmen have enough voice to be heard in the White House, whoever is living there. What they say won't please MT. Browder, or speed the revolution. For what busi- ness will be urging is relationship which, oddly enough, should do a lot toward keeping American capitalism a health, prosperous, going concern.

Too Many People in Washington

Congress is supporting charges that there is an unreasonable surplus of Fed eral employees in Washington, Senator Byrd of Virginia, has repeated time and again on the floor that there should be an immediate reduction of 300,000 to 4O0,- 900 employees, which he says could be made without impairing the efficiency of the Government. He is being sup ported by Democrat and Republican colleagues who insist that the time has come when it is imperative to reduce this wasteful condition.
 The Government has nearly three mil lion fulltime civilian employees in this country-four hundred thousand more outside of the Continental United States. The indications are that one or two mil lion of these Federal Workers will be dropped after the war. The Federal pop ulatiUn in Washington has doubled. And if Congress has its way, something is go- ing to be done about it.
 While this has been burning issue for wears President Roosevelt didn't seem to be very much interested until the present month He has just ordered the Govern ment to prepare for peace, plan for the liQuidation of war agencies, to slash per sonnel, and to simplify the administrative structure to peace-time requirements.
 Tn letter to Harold D. Smith, Director of the Budget Bureau, the President ord cred fresh blueprintS of the postwar Government. But, in his letter to Smith he said: ''MoSt of the planning will have to wait for execution until the Japs have surrendered" He emphasized the belief: 'sThe plan should be ready"
 According to the Presidents letter there would be a gradual reconversion of the Government in future months. AS the war situation changes tflere will certainly De reorganization of agencies and lunc- tlons, irrespective of political conditions ~ things that may happen.

INSURANCE BAROMETER
(Hartford Courant)

(HafW0ru CoufnnU
 A chart on which are drawn two lines, one portraylng fluctuations of business activity over the years the other showing the ratio of loans on life insurance policies to total policy reserves, reveals an interesting phe. nomenon- namely that when one goes up the other goes down, When business is bad, in other words, families in emergency circumstances tend to fall back on the cushion provided by the loans available on their life insurance policies. Con- versely, when few persons exper. fence financial distress, they pay back their loans and do not con- tract new ones.
 It is a matter of considerable en- couragement, therefore, to learn from the Institute of Life Insurance that by last June 30 total policy loans had dropped to hardly more than 2 billions from the peak of S.e billions reached at the bottom of de- precision in 1892. At the same time the loan ratio had dropped to 0.1 per cent from 8 depression high of 2l.3 per cent. This ratio, moreover, is now at its lowest point since 1900.
 The sensitive barometer that life insurance offers, then, is one more sign of the present health of Amer ican economy under the stimulus of war production. It would be in- teresting to know what that barom- eter will show in the months and years to come. Some may fear with the New Dealers that, once war pro- duction is cut to peacetime size, we are in for dark period of unem- ployment and crisis. Others, who share with Goernor Dewey faith that under the stimulus of individu- al initiative our peacetime economy can be just as productive as our wartime economy, expect better things. Perhaps next months elec- ton will have some bearing on which way the barometer is going to turn.

Current Comment

Certainly both Dewey and Roose. welt will do their level best If called upon to serve. The first question to decide is one of equipment and ex- perience. Who can better provide for permanent peace and full em. ployment, Dewey or RooSeveltp Vice President Henry A. Wallace. We would never need to train l. 200, 900 youths who become 18 every year. The cost would be prohibitive. If one-sixth of that number would volunteer to take military training for two consecutive summers while they are in college. we would have plenty of trained men.
 Sen. Robert A. Taft (R) of Ohio.
 
 If at any time there are not suf- ficient jobs in private employment to go around, then government can and must create additional job op- portunities.
 Thomas E. Dewey.
 We have a vast number of men who want to stay in the Army, Navy, and Air Corps. There will be more than we can accommodate. We will have to make a selection and keep those best qualified. Sen. Elmer Thomas (D) of Okla homa, member subcommittees on Army and Navy appropriations.

WE LEAVE ALL PASSING THINGS tCullen Jones in The New York Times)

Some of the things we love shall never die: The good black earth big with Its autumn ylelu' The salty wind so gaily rushing by,
 The shambling blower singing In ms delo. And this We know: Another spring Will come Decking these hills with purple and with green; And laughter, too, and even tears to some For by these very tokens love has been And there will be the sunset and the wine Of morning, deeds of -staiwart men, the rain' A simple faith to make thSS world divine; And sympathy for failure win remain.
 Speak of the gods: We leave all Iassing things, All hope for endless dross to buy GUT wings.
