It woiked in Union Trust Building, C. Washington, the past days, WashingThrough ton has been anxiously watching a very trying, very delicate and difthe attempt to ficult operation break in a stubborn thr e horse team which has never pulled together before, Ttie difficult journey toward on understanding to be reached by personal conversations arrois the table between Britain, the United Stales and Russia has begun. Following WM Service, I. perhaps secret tripartite conferences between representatives of the thiee nations Is the planned meeting of the heads of the three foreign offices. Questions frankly discussed with unsolved problems left open (if plans don't go amiss) will then be taken up between Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill personally. It is a tremendous undertaking. This three-horsteam has never run in harness together before. America has never been harnessed at all; Soviet Russia has had only one slant and violent xpenei.ee that With Geimany wh.ch ended in disaster; and as for Hr, tain, she is accuse ; theretomed to being fore, a lot of patience will be needed to hitch all three abreast. There is a whole library of documentation to piove that an all one agreement among these three nations is impossible. Rut it must be remembered that there were 111 powerful reasons once why a United States f America was lead-horse- for-on- fur-al- l ton llli) The present goal is not the formation f a triple alliance. The present problem is simj !v to get a common sense agi cement between thiee nasituations without which a post-wa- r tion is hound to arise which Prime Minister Churchill described as "confusion. And when he used that word, be made a new high for Eng-lisundi rstatement. Few doubt that he meant war. Arguments Against As I said, there aie plenty of reasons which can be cited why the United States luul Britain and sia cannot possibly agree but there are other reasons why they can. There are two things which stand out in most people's minds ns evidences that Stalin is not playing ball cow and doesnt want to. One is the recurrent complaint in the official Russian press and earlier statements by Stalin himself to the etlect that Russia is decidedly displeased with the Allies for not having built a second front by invading Europe from the British Isles. The other is the Moscow sponsorship of a Free Germany committee which appears to hold out better terms to Germany than unconditional surrender winch the Allies demand. Recently, I talked with a military man who suggested that perhaps the call for a second front after the invasion of Italy was part of an agreement with the Allies to confuse Germany. Churchill has said that he was assured by Stalin, when the Russian drive began this summer, that the Russians were confident Unit they could withstand German attack. As things have turned out, the Germans have not been able to counterattack. They have ordered a general retreat. It was admitted by military experts at first that this is a planned and orderly retreat. After the invasion of Italy, the Germans admitted that it was a general rt treat. Now it looks like a rout. In other wolds, the creation of the "th, rd front" in the Meditet ranean has forced the Geimans to give up the Kira of attempting a But since the slender hope of II. tier lies m dissension among the United Nations, why should Russia let him know that sh was satisfied with n Allied action? Rus- countrr-otlYmiv- c Free Germany Committee As to the Fite Germany committee. Russia itself has not made any dicit official statement concerning it, has not officially hacked up its pr. gram. It is composed of German prisoners in Russia who demand of their fellow country men that Germany pet nd of her present rulers That in itself is and surrender something everyone wants to see. How much short of unconditional surrender that is. certainly is open to friendly discussion. We know that regard to the Italian surrender terms. Now. what are the main propositions which Britain, America and Russia do not see eye to eye? In the first place, there is the question of "spheres of influence the Balkans, the Middle East, the Mediterranean. I have been told by persons presuming to speak with authority, that Russia suggested the ci cation of the Mediterranean commission, a body made up of representatives fiorn Moscow, London and Washington, meeting on equal terms. That commission, whoever thought it up, was agreed upon. Historically, Britain has always refused Russia any hand in Mediterranean allairs. That would seem to be a step foruuid and even before the commission could start functioning, Russia was allowed to have her say concerning the terms of the Italian sin rentier. Agi cement was reached as to the terms. That would si cm to md.cate that a conciliatory atino; j here has been created m advance. Unltss lUissia is ubsolutiiy unwilling to make we tan expect icciproca-tiuwhen the qumt.nns of the Balkans and the Middle Fast aitse, where theie have always been similar conflict of mteic'ts. The Baltic States Another very sensitive question is the difference of opm.i.n as to the tuatmelit of the small r.ulnms winch fie on Russias western frontiers, notably the Baltic stales. It is saiJ that Russia feels that as soon as tile Gem an armies ate dnven back into the Iieuh, these hinder states, especially Lithuania and Estonia, a p.ut of Roland and perhaps a part of Rumania two leave the others aside tor the moment, including Finland) are an integral pint of Russia The United States, on the other hand, has always stood for the rights of small nations, for Of course, Russia argues that plebiscites which indicate a desire to join the Soviet Rejmhl.es have already been taken m juirt of the territory and if they were taken again, they would show the same results. That they express the will of the Nationals is denied by representatives of these countries in record m.ide by Victory gardeners this season 20 million gardens, four million acres under ai.d a total yield of about eight million tens of food culti-vauo- Five peoj le would have n $190 war hands (at the price ot $75 to pay for the g;iM l.i e used on the 1.000 F'lv.ng Form-.-t.od over tl e Khmciand. to bay theu-ai.- d tranUinl) Great Britain leans toward an acceptance of Russias views however. The point lias yet to be settled with the United States. An additional p out. which is really the one which has always caused suspicion mi the part of Britain and America, is the question of communist propaganda spiead by Russia for the janpuse of ovci throw mg all capitalist governments. This is balanced by the fear on the part of Russia that capitalist governments are bent on destroying her as a communist state. This is a tough one admittedly but not beyond the solution by honest men. Nor do honest men despair of its settlement. Post-Wa- Russia r From a purely cynical and material standpoint, it can be argued that post-waRussians will not attempt any move against Britain or America, either from within by propaganda and intrigue or from without by military attack because they will be an exhausted nation when the war is over. Competent observers believe it will take several generations fur Russia to recover. Therefore, Russias chief advantage will be gained with other nations by rather than by threats of aggtession. To some degico, that also applies to Britain. Unquestionably, the United States will emoige from the war the greatest md.tary j'ower in the uiild Only a combination of I'owers could defeat her.

Briefly they explain each part of the program: Produce and Conserve. American farmers have done a remarkable job this year in again breaking food production records, and they plan to continue the good work in 1944 with the planting of 380 million acres. Helping them plant and harvest is something other civilians can do on the production line. Home gardens also aid in making more food, as does work in processing plants during the rush season. Farmers themselves can help prevent waste of food before it goes to market, along with transportation compan.es and other handlers. The homcm.ifers job is to save food in the kitchen, and to can and 'reserve as much as possible.

Presentation of the citations for outstanding effort will be made during Thanksgiving week, with similar awards being given to food processing plants which made good records. Designed by the army's heraldic division, the "A" banner compares "E pennants with the army-navawarded industrial plants. It will carry a blue "A" surrounded by a wieath composed of a head of wheat and half a gear wheel, all on a green field.

The final ners will bo chosen by the War F'ood administration from these nominations. Allocations of the banners among the 48 states will be made on tne basis of the relative farm population of inch state. Some states will receive several county awards, due to the large number of farmers within their boundaries.
