The ideal of "open cove
nants of peace, openly arrived
at" was expressed by Woodrow
Wilson during the first month
Of the Conference of Versailles
that met outside of Paris after
the First World War to arrange
the peace.
That was a splendid OBJ
jective-to let the people OF
the world know what the dip
lomats were up to. He was
frustrated in that. even as he
was frustrated later by the
United States Senate when
that body defeated the League
of Nations embodied in the
treaty Of Versailles. For We
learned gradually in the years
following Versailles about all
sorts OF secret treaties among
our allies, Britain, France and
Italy. rearranging the map OF
Europe.
During the interlude between
the First and Second World
Wars, idealists in our country
started sporadic movements
to let the people know about
foreign policy. Once again we
heard "open covenants, openly
arrived at" as the Wilson in
junction came to be boiled
down.
Then came the Second World
War, and with 1t various con-
ferences among us and our al
lies, some of them during the
war, as at Quebec and Cairo
and Teheran and Yalta, and
some after the war. Again the
curtain was discreetly lowered
and we have been learning in
the years since about this and
that secret agreement.
Then came the cold war with
Russia. The screen Of secrecy
not only was drawn over many
Of our dealings with our allies,
In order that Soviet Russia
should not know what we were
up TO; but Russia pulled down
across Middle Europe what
Winston Churchill called "thc

and The West, SO hat as little

Hand Washing,
Damp-Dry Ironing
For Corduroy

How should 1 wash and iron
corduroy?
Hand wash carefully, using warm
suds of mild soap and squeeze the
water gently through the fabric.
Maybe you'll need a second suds
wash, but be sure to rinse until the
water is clear.
Soaking, twisting, wringing or
crushing will crease or wrinkle the
fabric. If your new corduroy is
labeled machine washable, wash it
alone the first time with short
washing cycle and luke warm suds,
but no bleach. After this you can
wash the material with other cloth
ing, provided the corduroy doesn't
color the wash water.
Hang the corduroy garment on a
rust-proof hanger to dry. This will
allow the pile to return to its regu-I
lar position and eliminate wrink-
ling. Straighten the fabric by pull
ing gently in the direction of the
wales. Secure all fastenings, set
collars and cuffs in place and hang
away from sun and heat.
If the material is tumble dried,
use the cotton setting. Remove the
garment before it's fully dry and
use a clothes brush to remove
wrinkles and creases.
Drying corduroy by itself is best,
since the lint problems and color
bleeding are controlled. If corduroy
must be dried with light-colored
Iclothing, turn the fabric inside out
to minimize linting.
, Caution should be used when
drying corduroy with light colored
clothing. Although the corduroy
colors may be fast in wash and
rinse water temperatures, the wet
fabric in the hotter drier may cause
bleeding of color onto other gar
ments.
Many corduroy fabrics need little
or no ironing, but when necessary
do it while the cloth is lightly
damp. Put the corduroy face down
on the board an0 use steam iron,
holding it slightly above the fabric.
Move the iron back and forth in the
fabric rib direction. Then turn the
garment face Up and smooth gently
with clothes brush. A press cloth
can be used with an ordinary iron.
