Americans haven't suffered much physical hard

to many that oil furnaces converted to cool can be
reconverted This obviously will spread our available
cool over smaller area and probably Danish those
days Of real discomfort that some househoIders ex-

1t may be hoped, however, that Secretary Ickes

cool supply when he first asked for conversion with
the implication that there would be plenty Of cool

All such news of the past

symptom of the same.
Note that this rash Of foreign
news, while it has an indirect
relation TO the war, is largely in
the field of international politics
and that it is concerned with
jockeying for postwar position.
So important has all this spot

ing are beginning to scream that
since Franco is now cut off
from Germany, here is the big
chance for American interfer-
ence to drive the Spanish dicta-
tor from power. Such an atti-
tude ignores completely the fact
that it took less effort to keep
Spain as technical neutral than
it would have taken to support
Franco if Franco had broken
with Germany.

putes by peaceful negotiation.
All these involved foreign sit

United Nations organization to
resolve them. There may be re-

German bullets put an end to

The funeral pyreS were built in
