That's time enough for a German soldier to be saying Heil Hitler one minute and saying nothing the next minute and five seconds because he has a bullet hole in his head.

Premier Josef Stalin, blunt in some | respects and devious in others, is a master at ex- pressing his feelings through minor moves on the diplomatic chessboard It would be silly to Pressure suppose, therefore, that the shift in diplomats in Washington and London is entirely meaningless, and the absence of a Soviet representative at the Quebec conference (at least for | those sessions which pertain to the European rath than Asiatic theatre of war) is merely coincidence. But many observers have leaped to what seems to us to be the wrong conclusion the supposition that Stalin is maneuvering toward a separate peace with Germany On the ussian gestur contrary, we submit that the trend of es is for the quickest possible defeat of Germany.

Adverse influences are mildly active. HEART AND HOME: Women are restless and nervous under this configuration which én-| courdages them to look on the dark side of things. Practice of stern self-discipline is urged by the seers who advise safeguarding the mind \gainst fear and anxiety by engag- in work that requires concen- ystem. Girls need not romance under this sway look for Eligible men will be few and they {will be too cautious to assume do- mestic responsibilities, if they have been released from war service. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Men of vision will begin to prepare for post- war exigencies. Housing will be of concern when millions of men veturn from foreign service. In all parts of the country building should be started as early as Government permits can be obtained. After the first World War the Own-Your- Own-Home drive was made when a shortage of houses became ser- jous in every state. Novel ideas have been evolved for the employ- ment of synthetics, glass and other materials. NATIONAL ISSUES There is ja sign intérpreted as warning of dunr;ur.x due to congested centraliza- tion of the United States Govern- ment in Washington.

NEW METHODS They have seen what a stream- lined War Department can do with new, lightning methods which have revolutionized warfare. They have seen the navy perform miracles with armor plate, radar, and listening devices. They know that American genius and American efficiency are equal to anything They expect‘ that genius and that efficiency to be applied to winning the peace | just as effectively as they have applied it to winning the war. Some of the President’s best | friend tuding many inside his | Cabinet 1 his administration, feel that putting American foreign policy, and the State Department which administers it, on the same streamlined basis as the War De- partment, is the most important and neglec task facing him ‘When Thomas Jefferson, the first Secretary of State, moved into his headquarters in Philadelphia, he had a staff of four clerks, one French interpreter, three Ministers | and sixteen Consuls. His letters to Ministers were laboriously copied in | the American letter book, required; four to six weeks to reach their destination by Clipper ship, and sometimes were written in invisible ink with a notation on the outside: | “To be sunk in case of danger from the enemy | "The State Department has made great progress since then.
