only nation which cOnscripts it's
 women, and has 90 per cent of
 all single women between Is
 and 40 at work, with 80 per cent
 of all married women also at
 work if they have no dependent
 children.
 In fact some British factories manned almost entirely by women, one plant making big guns i5 staifed 70 per cent by women, while one shipyard employs Wo- men only. British education also has been disrupted by the war. Out of every boy and girl between IA and F years old, three-fourths arc at work instead of in school. BRITISH RATIONING

 CAREER DIPLOMATS RULE
 Even before Joe Grew was sworn in as undersceretary of state, his hand was seen operating true to the way it did when he favored the career clique as undersecre- tary of state during the Coolidge administration.
 At that time, Grew was chair man of the personnel board which handles promotions and appoint ments inside the State Depart ment. One of the men Grew brought to Washington to help him was close friend Leland Har- rison, assistant secretary of state.
 Later. when Grew faced sev-

 ing his pain, he got himself ap-
