The treaty as i now stands pro-

amount may be reduced. Objections
to the treaty have arisen in pre-

have held conferences concerning
approval of the measure.
John r. Ritter, engineer with the

AID TO ARMY DOCTORS

DR.. Phair pointed out that this
knowledge would greatly simplify
problems Of army doctors handling
large groups of men. The use of
sulfadiazinc now does not require
the tremendous job of singing out
one or two persons in a camp of
several thousanC' men, or among a
group of soldier, on troopship, for
example.
Instead, he said, doctors can SIM
ply administer four tablets of sulf-
adiazine to each member of the
group with assurance that any DO
tential epidemic will thereby be
fully checked.
The current rate of fatalities
from meningitis is only about three
or four per cent of those who be-
come ill with the disease approx
mately One-tenth OF what it was
during the first world war.

The Next Congress

" It is obvious that whoever is elected presi-
dent next November will not have party
Congress There will be a republican majority
8in the house and a democratic majority in
the senate.
81 After so many years of White House domi
nation of Congress, because of it's one-party
complexion, this is bound to be a blessing
whether MI. Roosevelt is reelected or Mr..
Dewey succeeds him. But the blessing will be
limited by the extent to which the majority in
either branch sets aside partisan viewpoints
and acts for the benefit of the greatest num-
Der of citizens or places party above duty to
the public.
The next administration at Washington must
guide the country through its gravest period.
The world will be trying to establish lasting
peace and at the same time seeking to re-
established financial economic and trade Sc
curity.
d The United States will have leading part
In these undertakings. In addition to its place
at the peace table and in the councils of it's
Allies, it must also safeguard it's national in
lterests and the interests of it's people in the
inevitable scramble for advantages that will
follow the war. 1t can do SO with greater
chances Of success if bipartisan Congress
exercises it's Constitutional responsibilities in
tatesmanlike manner, without bias or preju-
dice, free from dictation by individual or
group.
To a greater extent than many persons
realize, the ability of the United States to
emerge from this war and take its proper
place in the world of the future depends upon
the conduct of the Congress. If the conduct
OF Congress is to be up to par it cannot start
too soon to reacquire it's Constitutional rights

Finlands attitude at present is not easily
appraised, chiefly, we may suppose, because
news of what goes on there is contradictory
tinctured by the sentiment existing at the
source.
For example, Stockholm dispatch says
that while only those nearest to President Carl
Gustav Mannerheim know whether a peace
contact has been established with Russia, a
decisive STEP was thought to have been re-
Gently taken and that Finland was on the
verge of important developments
Almost at the same time Moscow dispatch
says: 1.-The visit of Field Marshal Wilhelm
Keitel, Chief of the German High Command,
to Helsinki and the acceptance by Finnish
President Baron Mannerheim of a new high
decoration from Hitler is regarded here as
proof that Finland's ruling clique is determin-
ed. despite everything to carry on the war on
Hitler's side"
1t might not be far from the truth to believe
that only the people of Finland can bring about
settlement of their nations troubles This
would involve revolution, and it is not pleas
ant to think that nation which has suffered

were putting up new fight in the defensive
war they have been reduced to. Their losses
have been heavy, both in men and material,
but enough of both have been left in every
case to impose new obstacles in the way of
advancing Allied troops.
This being demonstrated so Often it is OBJ
vious that Germany will continue its war OF
retreat, as long as there men to fight and
guns to fire This is made doubly clear by the
fact that the Army and the Nazi party, we
may be certain, fully understand that the Al
lies mean to impose unconditional surrender
and that in so doing the end of both will
be complete.
Amidst the smiles and shouting that come
with the improving situation in Europe. we
must not take a quick victory too much for
granted That could come only if the morale
in Germany and in the Army collapsed to-
gether and there is no sign that this is at
hand.

Then Huxley does an amusing
and delightful thing. He inserts
Sebastian into typical Somerset
Vaughan situation. He lives with
a heartlessly dull English family
in which the daughter, not so dull.
is mad about the 17-year-old boy.
Sebastian's father is an iceberg.
and Socialist fanatic, completely
uninterested in his son. His moth
er is dead, having disgraced her
self, or not, as you will. And then
Sebastian goes to Italy to visit his
sybaritic uncle, and a catastrophe
remakes him.
But all the characters have that
wonderful spicy flavor that Maugh-

bonbons dipped in the bitter, SUBJ

ire. The lot of them mean some
