HAS STALIN OUTSMARTED
US AGAIN IN CHINA?

All reports point to the recent con-
clusion Of a reciprocal economic treaty"
between China and Russia Only a few
days ago il was announced that China
premier, t Y. SOong, had returned to
China after Z conference with Stain at
Moscow. 1t now appears possible that
Stain was late arriving for the opening
Of the Big Three parley because he still
was comforting over and signing the
pact with China.
All Of which brings up the pertinent
question: what, if any, are the under
standings or treaties between theUnited
States and China?" If the state depart
rnent has concluded any economic or pO-
litical agreements with Chang Kai-shek,
nothing has been disclosed as to scope or
character.
1t is all the more important to give
serious attention to this, and other trade
and territorial pacts Russia has com
pIeted in Europe since the surrender Of
Germany in view Of the UNCIO treaty
The peace pact now before the fifty ma
tons for ratification provides for per
iodical reviews Of all treaties and pacts
entered into between members Of the
United Nations" But such reviews may
not be mandatory. Once made, review
would not be pressed unless actual war
dangers lurked in the pacts.
IL other words, Stain is displaying
wisdom and shrewdness in pushing to
conclusion his political and economical
treaties before the UNCIO treaty has
hppn ratified 50 far Russia has not
taken even the initial steps toward rat
ification while we have been demanding
approval forthwith.
Russia is not 4 direct ally with China
We are allied with China in the war N
the Pacific When that war IS ended
China viii be wide open for business
We will have spent q considerable sum III
helping her finance her part OF the war
Oh the Japs She should be our natural
market and almost without limitations
Size will be in our debt. Have we any
trade treaty binding her to using our
goods?
UnofficialIy Soong has announced the
trade treaty with Russia. In addition,
His announcement says that work is un-
der way on a railroad to connect Moscow
and Chungking by way Of the rich kansu
Provinces
Has it happened that while we have
been battling to save China by crushing
Japan that Stain has stepped in and
signed up for future trade?
That picture would tie in with Stains
staying out Of the war against Japan. He
fully intends to have Manchuria when
japan is defeated and he does not want
war-wrecked Manchura, either. His
declaration Of war on Japan Immediate
N would set off the long simmering pow
der keg in Manchuria. There the Japs
are entrenched There is where Russia
would have to strike.
When everything is cleared up it looks
now as if Russia would have about every
thing worthwhile tied up in the Orient.
Have we been asleep, or does it mat
ter whether we look to the Orient for de-
velopment Of trade?

A charm despoiler often over
looked is a pale border around
mouth which separates lip tissue
and face flesh, and which some
women never seem to be able to
keep covered.
A slick trick of blotting out this
pallid rim is the using of dark
lipstick shade for outline and a
bright color shocker inside, dis
covered by Peggy Badey, glamorous
model top-notcher, who passes it on.
Says Peggy: Use brush to draw
dark rouge for lip outline and also
to transfer the brighter filler-in to
your mouth. If you don't want to
invest in lot of lipstick pairs, see
that the two shades harmonic and
go with everything in your ward
robe"
Her choice, she says, is a dark
PariSienne-inspired shade for the
initial trimming; a shade as bright
as a red pencil for the makeup
effect.

With minks, sables, fancy foxes,

felt to defy the Nazis in all the

which were net only enormous but
on which they piled flowers, birds
and masses of yelling.
The liberation" collections, how

A stitch in time with nearest

yarn will mean more wearings from
your mesh hair nets, when they

Simply sew up the hole not

to keep your page boy bob from

your net, place the darned side
where it will be hidden underneath
your back-drop.
When the rubbery grip of the

you can take up the slack by pull

one spot and knotting it.

A business meeting followed by
short musical program was attended
Monday night by members of the
Music Teachers Association at the
Oria Kenah studio.
The program featured the first
movement of Beethoven's Concerto
in c, played by Roberta Tackett
with the second piano part by Mrs.
Charles Bartholomew. The musical
selection was an innovation to the
meetings and met with such ap-
proval the members decided to have
a short program at every meeting.
Zona North presided at the busi-
ness meeting which took up the first
part OF the evening. Reports were
made by Grayce Burt, secretary,
Oria Kenah, treasurer, and Eliza
beth Waterman, corresponding Sec
retary.
Mrs. Kenah also reported on the
plan for accrediting the music
teachers according to state educa-
ton standards. Tests to determine
those to be accredited will be held
later in the spring. Mrs. Waterman
gave report on publicity and ad-
vertising.
After the business meeting, Mrs
Kenah presented the musical pro-
gram and at its conclusion, she
served refreshments to the group.
Those present were zona North,

ways with high, draped crowns. In
fact, there is much intricate drap-
ing, either in the hat itself or in
the trimming. Large-sized feather
fantasy or ribbon trimmings are also
much in evidence. The outstanding
note is the use of color, either in
the hat itself or in the decorative
touches.
The all-black hat is not consid-
cred smart. Favorite colors are red,
many reddish browns and copper
shades, warm beiges and some
greens. Gray, always touched up
with dashing color, is also popular.
One general characteristic of all
hats is that they fit snugly to the
head. Lack of transportation is
largely responsible for this mode,
although weather conditions frCm
now on to the spring will make
many women abstain from using
their bicycles. But even travel by
subway is far from comfortable.
hence the continued vogue of tur-
bans as we'll as sncods and scarfs-
all of which provide some sort of
anchorage.
