This world had been wandering around in words, stretching them, redefining them, for a decade up to this war. Streams of words poured from various energetic people. We had such things as "technocracy" to ponder. A man wrote a book about how we deceive ourselves with words, only he wrote it from the standpoint of how other people could be deceived with words. It was Stuart Chase, the New Deal economist, and he dug out of obscurity a new word for his idea "semantics." lie warned his fellow radicals against calling sucb things as the scheme of the New Deal by any right name, and I think he origi nally devised the philosophically false and realistically unprovable phrase "social security," which, like most other things, we have in name only. I am not trying to be a philosopher, only to tell you the difficulty confronting me in attempting to transfer to you the news behind the news. Here is the Dutch minister who says he will not take dominaWe all tion by greater powers. know he always has. ly altitudinous, and just as far off base, saying the "sovereignty" of Holland would be kept pure. If these same words were piled 10,000 miles higher, the average intelligent man in the street would still know the Netherlands is a small country, Great Britain is an empire of greater bulk and authority, that the United States is a rich and powerful nation, that Russia is a rising influence which will probThe ably dominate Europe. words we read in the news, therefore, merely deceive us from the fact that we already know, that cannot be changed. So also with Spain, the French Committee of Liberation, the Russian situation, or whatever else there is in the news of either international or domestic consequence. A columnist makes a speech in New York to the French emigres demanding that De Gaulle be recognized as the government of France. Is De Gaulle the government of France? HE IS A POLITICIAN He is a politician who escaped to London, failed at numerous belligerent enterprises, fought the French political elements we freed in North Africa, made a private alliance with Russia, and then announces himself as the government of France. Anyone can see that. He is only a French politician who has succeeded in mastering the other French politicians, all of them in exile and away from their people. To recognize him as a government would, in justice and simple common honesty, be an act of cheating the people of France who cannot yet express themselves. With Spai..? Our people have been deluded into believing the Spanish civil war was a cause of democracy against Fascism, and that Fascism won. Anyone can see it was a war of Communism against Fascism, one dictatorship against another, neither of which we want, all far from democracy. In domestic politics, we also delude ourselves with words. "Leftist" covers everything from revolutionary communism to liberal idealism, which are opposites. Communism means dictatorship, ruthless direction of the individual, while liberalism means freedom of the individual. The only way we are going to solve any of our difficulties is to get out of words into facts. Pressure groups can deceive us, but only Truth is an obstinate, inevitable leveler. It will insist on being dominant in the end, no matter how many words are heaped upon it. tern-poraril- The G. I. Bill of Rights has been passed allowing up to 52 weeks within two years of unemployment con pensation at $20 a week, so that veterans could lay around for that length of time, although, of course, the problem is to get people back to work. Only If the nation is working and producing can It hope to survive, because, after all the talk aboul gold, inflation, etc., work is the only constructive economic factor which can generate a successful country.

Dr. Janeway believes that this record may prove one thing that the more primitive the circumstances, the better a woman thrives. "They take hardships in a spirit of fun," Major Janeway said.

Excellent food is credited to a large extent for the splendid health record of the WACs overseas. mer cruise especially since most of the women hadn't ever been to sea before. They landed at Oran on January 13, and took a train for Algiers. They discovered their quarters to be an old French convent with no heat and no water. They used their helmets for carrying water from an old well in the courtyard and for wash basins. It was bitterly cold. Major Janeway said: "It was May before we thawed out, and it was May before we could good night's get an occasional sleep." The women slept 12 in a room on straw mattresses placed on double-deckbunks, wore all their woolen clothes and wrapped themselves in three blankets when they went to bed. Those on the night shift were envied because they slept during the daytime when there were no air raids. On Duty 12 Hours Daily. Such were the conditions of their employment. The wages of WAC privates are the same as those of G. I. Joes $50 a month plus 10 per cent of the base pay for overseas duty. The hours were 12 a day, seven days a week. Since curfew was at 7 p. m., and the Algerian shops were closed at that time, there was no point in time off. During this whole period, despite or what most of us hardships would consider hardships there were no serious illnesses and very little jitters, Major Janeway said. A three-be-d dispensary had been set up in what was described as "a large closet" in the convent. This was used only as an isolation ward for those with colds and as a room for an occasional rest of 24 hours for the very weary. Major Janeway said that after such treatment most of them were ready to go back to their jobs. Despite all the dire warnings, not one WAC contracted any of the diseases they had been told very carefully to guard against. When more WACs arrived in Algiers in May, the entire WAC colony took over an apartment house which more and comforts, provided much more warmth. The number of beds in the dispensary was increased to 11.
