All over the country people are talk

Could it be that our befuddlement
over big, full sized issues is due to
what almost amounts to a national
way of thinking in terms of belittle-
ment?
Individually (and while she is

Nobody ever goes out for round of
poker with "the men,. No, always he
goes out with "the boys", even though
they may be gray haired.
We talk of "the little house,. We
"little" almost everything. We even
talk about ''my little old pay check
And when we aren't talking that
way we are boasting that everything
around us is "the finest, "the best,
and "the biggest" especially "the
biggest" on earth.
We seem unable to think of anything
unless we think in terms of adjectives
Don't we get a distorted point Of
view, distorted way Of thinking, out
Of that national characteristic?
The chances are that we do.
And while we think in terms, either

reach further friendly understandings
in the public interest.
So far, the actions of the confer
ence were all to the good But these
actions did not go far enough.
For instance, the conference failed
to issue any declaration which could
be used as guide for the determina-
tion of the wage issue which is threat
ening to disrupt the nations recon-
version program.
Of course, there was little hope that
such an understanding could be arriv-
ed at in meeting of this nature.
Where the conference really fell down
was in it's failure to draft an accept
able definition of collective bargaining
methods by which wage problems and
other important issues could be set
tied around the table by employers
and the unions representing their
workers. Likewise the conferees were
unable to get together on the proper
method for eliminating jurisdictional
strikes and on a Qualification of man.

The unwillingness of minority of
employers to go along with more pro-
gressive industrial leaders hurt the

unfortunately, still exists in organized

inferior stature, dependent, although
generally it isn't so intended.

But all of this exaggeration, up or
down, is arrant nonsense. 1t is most
ly inaccurate. Thinking inaccurately
part Of the time surely doesn't make
for accuracy the rest of the time.
How about getting grown-up in our
thinking, shout little things as well
as about big things?
It could not fail to help us in as
sessing the larger issues Of life.
And the larger issues get larger an
the time.
Our foreign policy can lead to World
War 3Or sway from II.

Our planning and action about "la-
Dor troubles" can upset our whole
economy; or it can get it on the road
to stability and soundness.
To prevent the most CHASTITY
bungling this nation ever new,
we MUST think straight, SO that
we can act wisely.
Twaddle thinking won't get us to
first base. On the contrary, it will lead
us to cataclysmic disaster, unless we're
luclIier than we deserve to be.-CMW

the returning Congress.
If the record of past Con-

will be much jawing, a great
deal of oratory about the atomic

there will be very little action

will be a frantic rush to crowd
through a lot of important stuff

The whole list of things to be

Hiqh|iqhts from the Latest Books
Frederic Prokosch has written

Frederic Prokosch has written
a novel which will be remem.
bered even if it is not thorough
ly understood. Age of Thun-
der" (Harper: So 50), is fantastic,
dreamy, mystical, poetical prose.
Creative work of this sort-and
no one book which can be called
like it comes to mind-gives the
reader the privilege-or prob
lem-of making as much of it as
he can and will. In its almost
complete lack of reality, this
novel introduces you to a strange
plane on which imagination and
freedom of Interpretation can
play unrestrained.
The book begins with the SEM
blance of a down-to-earth and
fairly familiar plot in today's
fiction. Jean-Nicolas, the hero,
parachutes to earth in the Haute
Savoie district of then-occupied
France. He is to contact the
Underground, make his way to
Switzerland within four days,
and report what information he
can as to who in the organization
is betraying the cause. There
are the elements of spy story,
but once Jean-Nicolas contacts
his men and starts his strange
journey, any further resem-
blance fades and vanishes.
QUIVAR STANDS OUT
The party of eight includes
Quivar, memorable Negro
from Martinique, who has suf-
fered bitterly and personally at
Fascist hands. After one death
in an abandoned barn, Jean-Ni-
colas and Quivar proceed alone.
The latter waits outside the
town where Jean-Nicolas had
gone to school as a child, and in
sists on revisiting. Moving into
a dream now completely severed
from reality, he is discovered
for what he is, is called before
the Observation-Disclosures, who for
some quixotic reason frees him

HOME NURSE
BY Iona L. TROTT
Written for NEA ServiC

ALTHOUGH most physicians
advise breast feeding for the
baby if possible, there are many
babies who must be artificially
fed.
Evaporated milk is often used
for the feeding formula because
it has the same food value as
fresh milk, does not require boil
ing and is somewhat more con-
venient.
Each baby should have his
own feeding formula prescribed
by a physician, but the proce-
dure fer preparing the formula
is essentially the same for all
babies.
Wash your hands with soep
and water before assembling the
material, and be sure that the
mixing pan and spoon are
thoroughly clean. Measure the
required amount of sweetenins
and water into a saucepan, mix
it we'll, boil it five minutes and
remove it from the fire.
Clean the top of the evaporat-
ed milk can by holding it under
running water, then wiping it
with a clean cloth. Make one or
two holes in the top of the can
with a clean can opener. Meas
ure the required amount of milk
into the saucepan with the water
and sweetening, mix well and
pour ten mixture into bottles
that have been boiled. Cap with
sterile rubber caps and place in
the ice-box.
The feeding always must be
warmed before it is given to the
baby. The bottle may be set III
deep pan of warm water and
heated rapidly Shake the bottle
occasionally to be sure the milk
is warmed through.
In putting the nipple on the
bottle be careful not to touch the
end of it with your fingers. Test
the milk by allowing a few drops
to fall on the inside of your
wrist. It should feel warm, out
not hot.
Hold the baby in your arms
while he takes his feeding. so
that he will be in the natural
position for nursing. He should
be given short rest periods oc-
casionally, but should not be al
lowed to dawdle until the milk
gets cold. After he has finished
nursing he should be held up
over the shoulder and patted on
the back until he bubbles air.

THE LEkD-LEASE BARGAIN

Mo realistic person is likely to imagine thot Pres
;dent TrInnon's recent cotton in terminating Lend
Leose will mean the end Of the subject # it should
mean the end Of Lend-Leose it certainly won't mean
the end to it's headaches
II is to be expected thot political interests in
nonv notions will be critical and may protest the
termination Of the assistance thot has been gwen
through this medium They doubtless will do every
thine ey can TO obtain continuation Of the did they
have been receiving
Criticisms almost certainly will be heard - as
they already have been heard - on the home front
because Of the manner in which lendleose hos
been hondIed There will be controversies and prob
ably bitterness Of international scope when the time
comes to adjust the claims that orse out OF this de-
vice of trade No one need be surprised if the time
should come otter this as happened otter
World War | - when some beneficiories OF Uncle
Sans aid ossoiI him as "UncIe ShyIock.
Nor can any realistic person pretend thot Lend
Lease hos been perfect in its operation. Even its de-
siqners and most ardent supporters - including the
late Franklin b. Roosevelt = acknowledged frankly
that mistakes had been made. Aid in various in
stances went to those who did not deserve it. Others
unqestionob|y abused the opportunity Of assistance
from this source. Undoubtedly, in some cases, there
have been those who deliberately have 'poyed" Un-
Gle Sam for sucker.
But, with all its fouts, it is difficult to see how
anyone con deny that Lend-Leose has proved most
potent weapon in gaining the war victory which hos
been achieved at lost. Indeed, it is extremely doubt
full whether world democracy could have survived
without Lend-Leose.
Certainly. assistance supplied through LendLeose
enabled England to fight when. without thot aid, she
could have fought no longer. The same statement
doubtless can be made with equal truth to Russia
And when the time came for those nations to strike
back = particularly Russio - the aid supplied by
the United Stotes through Lend-Leose almost GER
toiny tipped the scoIes and represented the differ
ence between overwhelming victory and crushing de-
feot
True, LendLeose has cost greet deal in terms
Ct money! which is the least Of wars costs
But beyond honest question. it hos saved lives
= American lives as we'll as those Of our Allies It
enabled those Allies to survive and to fight while
America assembled and trained the resources which
brought the eventual victory.
So. regardless Of the cost Of Lend-Leose present
and future, believe most Americans agree that
was worth the price, many times over.

time, the night scenes, which
somehow linger - in particular
the spectacle of the destroyed

the book is darkness, a little

ness which bids that it can be
explored for what it yields.
Much of that is strange beauty.
Rosamond Lehman, author
of the forthcoming novel, THE
Ballad and the Source" soon to
be reviewed in this column, is
one of Britain's most distinguish
ed novelists. She has been writ
ing since childhood. Her earli-
est work - verse, drama and
short stories-never left the
family circle.
Two years after graduating
from Girton College, Cambridge
University, she began work on
her first novel, Dusty Answer
which was published in 1927. A
study Of youthful disillusion-
ment, this work was an instant
success. In the next five years
she wrote two novels, A Note in
Music" 1880, an impression of
middle-aged disillusion, and "In-
vitation to the Waltz" 1882, a
study of adolescence. Four years
later, her next novel, The Wea-
Their in the Streets" was publish
ed. Of the five novels which
Miss Lehman has written, four
have been book club selections
in the United States.
THE Ballad and the Source" is
the story Of an Edwardian lady,
Mrs. Sybil Jardine, an egotist
who marries middle-aged di-
plomat, wrecks his career an6
leaves him for young European
artist. She becomes in turn an
actress and novelist, acquiring a
great deal Of notoriety, and fin
ally marries an elderly British
gentleman who resorts to brandy
as an escape from her domina-
ton. The story of Mrs. Jardine's
career is told by an adolescent
girl, Rebecca, with a true subtle
ty of touch.
