FOR Insisted On InUasiOn
 Of Europe On West Front

New York, Sept. 18-(UP)-The late President Roosevelt was quoted today as saying that he insisted on invasion of Europe from the West instead of through the Balkans be- cause he could "see no reason for putting the lives of American sol- diers in jeopardy to protect real or fancied British interests in Europe" !"
 MT. Roosevelt's remark was made public by his son, Elliot, in an ar- ticle in Look Magazine, which also disclosed that the late president said after the Cairo and Teheran Big Three conferences that "the one thing that could upset the apple cart" after the war would be a division of the world into Soviet and anti-Soviet blocs.
 Roosevelt, who accompanied his father to both parleys, said that Winston Churchill tried to convince his Big Three partners that Europe should be invaded from the south rather than from the west because he wanted to keep the Red Army out of the Balkans. Roosevelt said his father and Soviet Premier Sta lin both wanted western invasion because they believed it was the quickest way to end the war.
 P. M. Thought of Future
 Trouble is," he quoted his father, "the P. M. (ChurchilD is thinking too much of the postwar period, and where England will be. He's scared of letting the Russians get too strong. Maybe the Russians will get strong in Europe Whether that's bad depends on whole lot of factors.
 "The one thing I'm sure of is this: If the way to save American lives, the way to win as short war as possible, Is from the west and from the west alone, then that's that. see no reason for putting the lives of American soldiers in jeopardy in order to protect real or fancied Brit ish interests in Europe"
 Elliott said his father told him regarding the conferences that "the biggest thing was in making clear to Sta1in that the United States and Great Britain were not aligned in one common bloc against the Soviet Union"
 Liked Stalin
 T think we've got rid of that idea, once and for an," the late president was quoted. T hope so. The one thing that could upset the applecart, after the war, is if the world is divided again, Russia against Eng land and us"
 Roosevelt reported bitter differ ences between Stalin and Churchill and quoted his father as saying "I'll have my work cut out for me, in be- tween those two. They're so differ ent"
 The late president nodded an amphatic affirmative when his son

 I'm sure we'll hit it off, Stalin and l." MT. Roosevelt was quoted.
 Opposed Marshall
 The article disclosed that Church. ill violently opposed appointment of Gen. George c. Marshall to head the European invasion, which subse- quently was led by Gen. Dwight D.. Eisenhower.
 If there's one American general Winston can't abide, it's General Marshall" the late president was quoted. And, needless to say, it's because Marshall is right. (On a western invasion). I hope, someday, everybody in America will realize what debt they owe to George Marshall"

Design For A
 Better Life
By Charles C. Garvin

This is the second and last in- stallment of this article. Last week I told of the purpose of life through preparation. The hope of eur race lies in our youth.
 
 Education is a derivative of the Latin word educo, which means to lead out. Whatever an individual does or learns from the beginning of his life is within. The instruc- tors are the people who cultivate us and in so doing our knowledge grows. As our thinking facul- ties develop we shape our lives to suit the condition of our time. Through all of our youthful years all of us look forward to the day when the going will be easy. 'Tis true all hope; but only those who prapare, as time develops their bodies and minds, receive these benefits which a we'll planned and well-trained indi- vidual can survive. This life is yours, take an active part. The time is come. Iris time to move. I admit that things are not as l they should be. I admit that we as Negroes are not as we are painted nor are we as a whole measuring up to certain require ments demanded of our society. Since there are two sides to all discussions we who have squan- dered so much of our time should force ourselves to get on the run ming side.
 By all means let us stay away of us suffer from whatever is done from the city courts every Mon day morning. Certain elements in our race make US feel very dis gusted. Stories in the white newspapers play us up in the worst manner and right on the heel of all we read we find many guilty ones are taken away from our society. If taking an indivi- dual out of a society was the end of the reflection, I am sure things would not seem so dark. But on the other hand have all by any MT. S. and S.. The world is large enough for all of us. No chain is stronger than it's weakest link.
 For a while I stop to think
 For a while my thoughts are free For a while my eyes may blink; But tomorrow let me be

By the time this issue hits the street, the Moonlight Sail sponsored by the Colored Mems Progressive Club and the Mohican Bellmen's 21st Annual Ball will have been held and over-most successfully, we hope.
 Following hard on the heels of these two stellar social events will be the Labor Day Barbecue, Picnic and Dance at the Little Rest Casino in Old Mystic, Conn.,, with William Buddy" Holloway, J.

Jimmy, I'm going to war" Just like that And he did-by volunteering and pushing his age up-and was on the battle fields of France, along with hardened mature men of that day, at a time when most kids are just greeting the feel of their first long trousers-That kid was Louis Sheldon. We'll, does the writer remember bidding him farewell through a small square hole, just large enough to admit an arm, at the Franklin Armory, Bronx, New York. It calls to mind Danny Small ST., who danced and sang his way from the sidewalks of New London to top booking in the worlds largest metropolises New York, London, Paris, Berlin. Danny was playing the old Cotton Club, 142nd and Lenox, back in 1928, when Duke Ellington, who was also engaged there at the time, was just making a serious bid for national recogni- tion and the Nicholas Brothers were kids in knee pants (also play ing there).

 Rev. z. A. Hart of the Little Zion Baptist church went to the book of Daniel for his subject, -'Knowledge". Daniel 12-4. Without knowledge man is helpless. The word of God requires the best of any race to deliver the truth to the followers. If a man knows the word of God he will do no wrong. His knowledge of right and wrong is what God expects him to live up to. Lack of knowledge keeps man from prospering through his many undertakings while trying to live. Waterbury
