Anyway, he did get his

THESE DAYS

velt insists on having them
around. but they are annoyed
no end and the annoyance be-
comes more articulate as the
war in Europe reaches its
close.
The disclosure of the presence
of Communists in our armed
forces does not heighten morale.
However, the European war
is so near its close that soon
many of the problems which are
now regarded as part of the war
will be restored to a civilian
status and will be dealt with
as such.
The Asiatic 2 war will be
fought out in altogether a diff
ferent atmosphere even though
it must be fought TO a finish.
There will be far less fear OF
the shadow Of Stain.

But he was finally forced TO

~ men will soon gather in San
Francisco TO make fateful de-
cisions for the future of the
world. We hope they have
learned that tyrants grow strong
enough to incite wars by feed
ing on the intellectual hypocrisy
and apathy Of peace-loving ma
tions.
The following story is an ex-
ample of the type OF sordid
thinking which could be fatal
to plans for globai peace:
When Stanley Baldwin was
the British prime minister. he
informed a reporter:

DEAR V. s.:
YOU are withering on the
vine. without friends or ad-
mirers. because you neglect 10
put forth intelligent. well-or-
ganized efforts TO make a place
for yourself in the life of your
community.
You seem to have the idea
that husband-hunting begins
and ends on the dance floor.
You say. Il can't go 10 q
dance by myself" AS If that ex-
planned your figuratively dead
and-buried existence.
Your best bet is 10 take part
in social activities where the
emphasis is on good works, not
personal pleasure seeking.
To illustrate what l mean:
Doing nurses aid work
Backing the ague Of
Women Voters. or similar po-
litical action groups, through
active membership. Ia k in G
part. as member. in church
affairs. Lending a hand 10 the
Red Cross. rolling bandages,
etc.
Ii is important 10 widen your
horizons in such ways.
Thus you will start with COM
mon ground for developing
friendships naturally-with the
added advantage, at that future
time. Of having some idea how
10 fraternize with other human
beings.

After the war I want to do

THE other day was the worst
yet-and the most aggravst-

all set with a batch Of red-hot
questions as 10 how FDR felt
about Mayor LaGuardia seced-
ing from the union over the
curfew issue.
In fact we really had some
honeyS 10 heave at him. One
fellow was set TO ask whether
there seemed any likelihood of
restoring treaty relationships
with New York. while another
was prepared TO suggest an
exchange of ambassadors.

We usually work it is this:
The guys who are going 20

because there are always more
than 100 of us Sardined in the
small room. They wait until the
President comes 10 a full stop

then pop their querieS,-

strange folk ways in staying UP

where he could stare FDR in

This, of course, is one of the
drawbacks TO being president.

Mr.. Andrews asked FDR how
he felt about LaGuardia's de-
fiance of the curfew order.
There is a rule against quoting
the President but nevertheless
this is what I think he said:

Reporters are supposed 10
take note on what the President
says. They went crazy trying TO
figure out what FDR had re-
piled. No two could agree on
anything.
We went on 10 other topics.

ports of the conference.

not a morale builder.
Moscow. Teheran, Yalta, Mex
leo City and Quebec, Dunbar
ton Oaks and Breton Woods,
and prospective San Francisco
are altogether too confusing,
too involved for most people TO
understand.
Perhaps no one, not even the
most expert, can. grasp what
happens at each of these con-
ferences and why so many need
be held.
The Breton Woods discus
sion is particularly trying be-
cause il has never been made

money.
Nobody can quite grasp why
the debtors should tell the
creditor how he shall run his
economy.
Aud furthermore, nobody can
quite understand how the credi-
tor who put up real cash is to
be paid in deprecated curren-
cieS which may have no value
at all.
Admittedly. something should
and must be done TO stabilize
currency if there is to be any
foreign trade at all
But the Breton Woods for
mulae evade logic and sound
practices and create the SuS-
picion of something being put
over.

Yalta was wrong, including the
site of the conference.
