problem is clearly outlined.
MIR. ALIENS THESIS, brief
ly is this: The United States has
emerged from the war as the
greatest imperialist power in the
world Great Britain has slipped
badly.) in both the economic and
military spheres. American pro-
ductive capacity is the greatest
in the world. American mon
opoly, which Mr.. Allen proves
with figures and facts controls
America, is ever pushing to ex-
pand the world economic position
of the United States. American
policy ON key economic and po-
litical issues is affected basically
by this tendency to expand. 1t be-
comes reactionary.
Counterposed against this are
inter-imperialist rivalries, as be-
tween us, and Britain; the fact
that one-sixth the globe is out
side reach of monopoly capital
and the fact that the new democ-
racies in Europe will also throw
off the yoke of monopoly capital.
Nevertheless, the great danger
to peace, says. Mr.. Allen is that
monopoly capitalism, which es-
pecially in the US. is subject to
violent fluctuations, will in crisis
produce an aggressor. But Mr..
Allen is no prophet of doom.

Oracle FIELDS, who at sew
en- worked in an English factory,
will probably go down in the
books as one of the greatest
comedians of our day. But al
though many regarded her dur
ing the war as Britain's best
equipped ambassador of good
will" she could scarcely qualify
for that job today.
In her dressing room at the
Chez Paree, swank upper crust"
nitery, Miss Fields chatted easily
and with charm. Her occasional
flashes of insight into Mr..
Churchill and others were null
fled by ancient prejudices.
Visitors came and went during
the interview. A young woman
brought her elderly English-born
mother backstage to meet the
famed Oracle Fields. "She's nev-
er been in a night club before
the daughter explained, but
she thinks you're the greatest
person in the world and said that
meeting you would be the high
point of her life"
A. n n
MISS FIELDS, her 40 years
resting lightly, took this matter
of-factly and a relaxed conversa-
ton followed ranging from the
IS canaries Miss Fields had be.
fore the war and the home she'd
bought on the Isle of Capri to
trailers.
Miss Fields, who used to
have a trailer in England,
where they call them "cara-
vans" had been plagued by the
wasps and bees that kept COM
ing in. But she agreed that the
American people should well
come trailers-after all, look at
Europe, where many live Gin
novels and holes"
The three ladies agreed mildly
that a third war is inevitable
that "the mines in the Atlantic
will not be cleared before new
ones are laid in Miss Fields
phrase.
u.
AS TO WHO the antagonists
of World War III would be they
were less certain. But the visitors
entreated the good will ambas
sadress to stay in this country,
where it is "safer."
The interviewer asked for an
observation on Mr.. Churchiils
turnabout.
'He needed help during the
war;" Miss Fields replied with
one of her rare flashes of insight,
but now that the war is over
and he's got what he wanted, the
Tory in him is coming OUT"

He said many 1T-year-olds are entering the service because they expect to be drafted anyway when they become IS. If the draft act expires, Hershey siad, the number of volunteers will drop sharply,
 eff you are not going to extend the draft, then congress should let the public know that, too, 60 these boys won't be misled," Hershey said.
 Hershey predicted that "it will not be necessary to return to the induction of fathers" He said such action would not meet with popular approval.
 Offers Recommendations
 He told the subcommittee that "if the following recommendations are adopted it is believed that 500, 900 additional men can be made avail able:
 "i. Immediate extension of the Gelective Service Act.
 a. Amend the selective service act to provide a definite period of service. Since congress has author ized enlistments for lS months this would seem to be an appropriate period.
 g. That the War and Navy De- partments lower the physical stand. ards and apply them so as to pro. duce the requiredl numbers of men.
 "4. That persons with substan- italy less than le months service be submitted for reinduction."
