Russia and France did some nonintervening on the other side, but not enough to counter-balance that of the Fascist states. Now the nonintervention is on the other foot. Germany and Italy will begin to feel the impact of a policy which they themselves raised to the plane of diplomatic respectability in 1936. Unless and until a more candid policy becomes palatable to the nation generally, let us noninter- vene with vigor, and with due regard to the Allies’ needs.

It is| an auspicious date for making con- tracts of any sort. Good news re- garding some phase of business is presaged. Heart and Home: The stars seem to frown upon love affairs today. As a wedding date it is not auspi- cious, for there .is no is no sign of prosperity, There is' a promisng| aspect for informal association at| summer resorts where eligible young men will be interested today in| fishing instead of flirtation. Cau- tion will be apparent in the policy of suitors who will avoid wedding, dates, Women will find interest in learning the latest scientific meth- ods of housékeeping. Sanitation will assume special importance before the end of the summer. Business Affairs: Employment for college graduates will be offered in many lines of industry where trained minds and trained hands| will be needed. Television is to| develop rapidly and to engage| specialists east and west. Travel agencies will profit as persons of all classes spend money for vaca- tions, Politics will bring monetary returns to an extraordinary num- ber of writers and speakers. National Issues: Despite expds- ures, subversive agents will gain many supporters for termite efforts to undermine the United States Government and to prevent the spread of preparedness sentiment. Sabotage on a large scale is prog- nosticated with the Pacific Coast as a center of most extensive opera- tions. Foes will wear the masks of friends and will win the confidence of many young persons. International Affairs: Two con- junctions of Jupiter and Saturn this year are of great significance. Astrologers see beyond the hor- rors of war the dawning of a per- iod of permanent international un- derstanding. This will follow the inevitable fall of the dictators. Un- fortunately, there must be desper- ate conflict between the forces of democracy and progress and the massed power of tyrants who wear the title of Dictator, Out of the ruins of old governments will rise progressive self-ruling people Persons whose birthrate it s have the augury of a year of great prosperity, due to their own industry. They should make use of - all opportunities for advance- ment, Children born on this day prob- ably will be ambitious, self-reliant and enterprising.
