ARE the boys in the service receiving the treat
ment that is nghtfuly theirs from wives, relatives
and friends? They are absorbed in frequent
thoughts of home and all that home means Often
those thoughts are gloomy - too many peo-

spending money to be bothered with letter

Girl friends and relatives who cried the hardest
when their boys left the ones who find little
time to write. Some day those boys are coming
back - not all of them, of course - but the ones
that do will have excellent memories They will
remember the lonely days when Mail Call

Being patriotic doesn't mean only doing your

There Is reason TO believe that
this mo vote attitude of a number
of the Soviet leaders who opposed
what many have considered too
deep ENHANCEMENT in international
affairs, which has been in evidence
for long time. finally wrecked the
Foreign Ministers conference.
As early as the time Of the San
Frsncisco meeting there were hints
Of a growing 'isolationist" opposi-
ton inside Russia. Word reached
certain members Of the conference
by a roundabout way, but from a
thoroughly reliable source, concern
ing the status Of former Foreign
Minister Litvinov. Russia's crack
diplomat, who negotiated the re.
sumption Of relations with the Unit
ed States after the long hiatus fol-
lowing World War I. At one time it
was reported that Litvirov had been
purged. This was not so. But what
had happened was that the russia
objects element had managed to
shslve him because Of HIS more lib
eral views.
This apparently was the beginning
OF what many called palace revo-

What's happening inside Russia?
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Vehement deniafs of the death OF
Marshal Stain were followed final
ly by admission that the man who
had more power than any car could
boast Of was weary. That he was
we'll but that he was shedding some
Of his responsibilities.
1t is interesting to note the reac-
ton in this country. The wishful
thinking of those who first an
nouneed the death rumor over the
air and in print was not reflected in
official Washington.
The very day before the first story
appeared high government official
expressed the opinion in my hearing
that the hope for understanding be-
tween the United States and Russia
depended largely on Stain, This was
after the long series of disagree
ments beginning with the breakup
of the Foreign Ministers meeting in
London, the refusal of Russia to take
active part in the United Nations
Food organization meeting in Que
bee, the objections to various moves
made by the members of the United
Nations Executive Council. Every
where Russia objects seemed to
be the one answer which Russias
representative had to offer to the
suggestions made by the American
and other governments.
When the real history of the in
ternational conferences, beginning
with the Moscow conference which
Secretary of State Hull attended,
through Yalta and Potsdam, is writ
ten, I think it can be shown that
Stain, frequently against the advice
of his councillors, was the one who
broke the deadlocks and proposed or
accepted compromises which were
made necessary by his own col
leagues stubbornness.
1t will be recalled that when the
invitations to the meeting at San
Francisco went out it was announced
that Russia would not send her for
eign minister as head of the delega-
ton, but would leave that post to
Ambassador Gromyko in Washing
ton. This made a bad impression,
for 1t looked as If Stain were damn
ing the affair with faint support.
However, after the American news
papers sounded of on the subject.
Stain had change of heart-or per-
haps the death of Roosevelt which
occurred in the interim, affected his
course. Molotov was duly assigned
to the Job.
Molotov proved no simple prim-
rose and more than once, it is re-
ported, Stalin's intervention had to
be sought to grease the wheels.
There was another occasion--just
which one is not revealed-when the
work was completely stymied and
finally the President made direct
appeal to Stain to accept the sugr
gestions Of the majority on point
that appeared to have hopeless1y
deadlocked the meeting. This time,
against the counsel of his advisors
who were holding out Stain put his
OK. on the request.

to assume that 1t Is true. In brief.
there was a split in the all-powerful
"Poht-Bureau" of the Soviets. The
Political Bureau is small body
chosen from the central committee
of the Communist party. which is the
governments policy-forming entity.
This body is composed of powerful
Soviet leaders and II exerts a great
deal OF influence.
According to the reports touching
on Litvinov's position, the Polit-Bu-
reau was sharply divided into "isola-
tionists" and those who looked upon
the rest of the world with a less
jaundiced view. At that time Stain
was said to be walking tight-rope
between the two and choosing care
FUZZY toward which side he would
lean. LitvinoV, who believed that
Russia could not live by herself and
who had always encouraged a SYM
pathetic attitude toward the outside
world, had been completely shelved
for his ideas.
Little more was heard of these
rumblings until after the end of the
war, when the Red army became
the symbol of Russian salvation.
Then it appeared that the isolation

Red Army
Strong Factor

The assumption on the part OF
some observers Is that with the as
cendancy of the Red army element,
not emily the isolationists, but the
Communist party as a whole. lost
influence. There has always been
jealousy between the two, though, OF
course, their membership overlaps
in many cases. You will recall that
at the beginning Of the war civilian
commissars were attached to army
units and they censored all orders
issued by the officers. This proved
to be not only highly unpopular
with the military, but also impracti-
cal. The civilian c0nmissars were
then withdrawn and only those with
military training were appointed.
Their authority. in effect at least,
became merged with that Of the
military.
Now the high army officers are
recognized as occupying virtually
the same plane as the high party
officials.
Just where Stain stands as a re-
suit Of this change in the fabric of
Russian national policy 1t is irnpos-
sible to say. II has been rumored
that he has relinquished his function
as communicative 1t has also
been rumored that he Is ready to
drop out Of the picture completely
and choose a successor. In that con-
nection it was limited that General
Zhukov, Russia's Eisenhower. was
afflicted with diplomatic illness"
when he suddenly gave up a widely
advertised trip to the United States.
which ii was said he had looked for
ward to with considerable zest.
This might have been signal that
Russia was drawing further within
herself.
Some believe thai, 1T indicated tt1at
Zhukov was the chosen successor Of
Stain and that, until new regime
was firmly established. the Soviets
would maintain negative policy in
foreign relations.
IN any case, 1t Is clear that the
Russia objects" policy was haugI-
rated for some reason and naturally.
since In the past Stain had always
been the one who was able to play
ball with the Allies, at least to the
point where progress seemed to be
made toward working agreements,
Washington Is by no means apxious
to see him fade from the picture.
Meanwhile, the one hopeful view
which is being taken Of the Russian
situation is that 1t may be that there
is some kind Of change taking
place within Russia and that the
present policy Of stalling means
nothing worse than a necessary
marking time on the part Of the So
Wet leaders until the outcome Is
settled.
And then there Is always another
reason which pops up as an explana.
ton Of almost anything these days

knowledge of
Conditions Vital

Geography is important because 1t
is study of the world in which we
live. 1t is study Of the peoples who
live in the world-of our very near,
thanks to jet propulsion and atomic
energy, if not always very dear
neighbors. Geography is also the
study of the pursuits, the indus
tries of the people Of the world. It's
grasp is essential If we are to bring
intelligent thought to judgment Of
events and the conditions at home
and abroad and their effect upon
each other and upon us.
And yet, geography was never
taught to our people," Mr.. Studebak-
er says. I'VE stop teaching 1t at the
eighth grade. The younger children.
from three to eight, are taught by
teachers who themselves never had
more than eighth grade instruction
In the subject"
And his second example Of one
Of our educational products which
must be strengthened, economics,
belongs still less to the people"
Only per cent Of the high school
pupils ever studied economics, he in
formed me, and only S per cent Of
these ever learned anything about
international trade.
How can we possibly meet the
problems arising now II we do not
understand this subject? How can
we possibly maintain free enterprise
II we cannot pass considered judg-
ment on the questions that the pa.
pers are full OF every day? How can
q person say whether a wage in
crease is fair il he has never studied
the simplest theories Of supply and
demand, or the more complicated
relations of wages, costs, profits?"
And in the international field. he
continued, how could a person who
had never learned the fundamentals
of international trade know whether
tariff was justified. whether car
tel was dangerous, whether certain
foreign business activities benefited
the people as a whole, whether free
competition or government subsidy
was a better policy? How could
they advise their congressman to
vote on the Breton Woods agree
ment, or the policy Of foreign loans7
Just as geography suffers because
its teaching ends before maturity Is
reached tmaturity in this sense Is
the 1915 year group, roughly high
schsol age), economics is begun too
late. 1t is offered as a one-yeaY,
high school course and boiled down
into such a concentrated potion that
not only are vital elements omitted
(such as international trade) but II
becomes a dry and highly abstruse
subject. Furthermore, since 1t Is
often an elective "a subject III touch
on in later article). it may be omit
ted entirely because 1t is hard"
These two subjects are only two
examples of those which should, In
Mr.. Studebaker's opinion. make up
