Show shifon 61 MW deftest lean aged mountaineer distrust secretary hulls determination and sincerity during visit to moscow broke barriers of suspicion russia now real ally by BAUKHAGE news analyst ins and commentator service union trust building washington 0 0 the flag is flying over the white house again a real symbol no longer a ruse de guerre after the past few weeks it Is a relief to know it really eally means that the president Is fh there tere not an attempt to hide bide his absence from the enemy already the nervous bulletins announcing noun cing the forbidden truths or the invented canards canaras as to the whereabouts of the allied leaders are forgotten in the more instant interest la in the happenings on the battle fronts front on the home front washington has had time to ponder on americas new leadership in world affairs perhaps that toast offered by premier stalin to american war production without which he said cald the war could not have been won by the allies brought the truth home america is emerging out of this holocaust as the worlds greatest power and for the first time in history the worlds greatest power Is the a nation whose people are least prepared p ared least experienced i least anxious for world leadership there to la a chance that we may let it go by ae delux default washington has assayed pretty well frell by this time the fruits of the moscow conference the cairo con terence with chiang kai shek attending the teheran meeting the meeting with turkeys president dussias Rus sias new role the achievement first and foremost unless we read all the signs wrong a is that russia emerges in a new role As secretary hull firmly believes the fate of the world depends now on russia and the united states until the moscow conference with the teheran meeting to put its seal upon it russia was still an international enigma she was fighting the same enemy that we were in europe but she was in no sense an ally today she is still fighting the same enemy in europe but is allied with Us those are the main fruits of the moscow and teheran conferences we are not a nation of dip diplomats diplo lorts england has the wisdom of the ages inherited from an intimacy with the chancelleries chancell eries of europe since the flays days of metternich today she has at the head of her government one of the greatest leaders the empire has produced but not even english ruile or graciousness her wile or tier er wisdom accomplished what one lean and aged mountaineer achieved in the kremlin when cordell hull went to moscow he went as a knight on a cru lade not for personal glory not for gain but because he felt that was the duty the lord had laid upon him he told himself before he went despite the timorous restraint of physicians in whose care he had been despite the concern of the wife he loves so well that he would go on this mission if it took him by land or sea or air to the ends of the earth and when he arose at that first ine eting and addressed the represent atiles of the three powers he said frankly that what he was about to propose was in the interest of hl his own country he hoped he could show that it would be in the interest of at all ur mr hulls terms and he said that what he would lay gay would be frank and forthright nd ind what he expected would be said to lo him would likewise be frank and forthright truths minted in the same coin and mr hull was met I 1 squarely on the terms he laid down jan to christian amu smuts ts now mellowed melts to wed perhaps with a flavor of british diplomatic acumen Is fundamentally a person who sees beyond his own mn borders he envisioned an as atlon of nations before the league was proposed to in the last avar after the last of the conferences he be declared that no such gatherings for the last hundred years had been a as s important as these I 1 do not pretend to say that secretary hull was solely responsible for or the success of these meetings in fact only time will tell how lasting their success will be but it Is the firm conviction of even the skeptical in washington that it was the the royal air force home stations are encouraged to grow their own vegetables the mint has embarked on a no na tion lion wide drive to draw small coins especially pennies out of hiding and into the hands of merchants as a means ol of reducing metal consuming demands for or coinage and to increase supplies of nt change oneness of purpose the sincerity the unwavering determination of this hardy son of tennessee that broke down the barriers of suspicion and distrust and found a common way for russia to march shoulder to shoulder with britain and andauer amer ica in this war and to give promise that the three would peace afterward with the nearest thing to international altruism that this weary world can expect moscow paved the way teheran sealed the covenants it killed once and for all the controversy over the second front and struck the cadence that brought the allies marching in step tov toward bard victory how was this accomplished by convincing russia that it was not the plot of the ca capitalistic nations to let her bleed white on the battlefields so that she could cou id be throttled in the postwar world about chiang kal kai shek we cannot omit from any discussion of these meetings what america achieved when she brought chiang kai shek into the picture the chinese believe in america they think we have decent ideals but they assayed us as a still more or less kindly indifferent people who without much thought would dance to the british tune and britain they distrusted they know now that america had the breadth of view and the acumen to use that word again in its best sense to bring china into the higher councils of the allies it was hull who insisted that china become a signatory cosignatory co of 0 the tour four nation agreement at moscow it was america hull roos roosevelt evelt whomever you wish to credit tor for the act who brought chiang into the cairo conference strangely enough america nearer to europe by the racial ties of a great part of its citizenry is even closer to Eu ropes culture than the residents of the tight little british isles themselves yet americas ignorance of Eu ropes real needs and thoughts is vast compared to that of En glands statesmen but america does seem to understand the far east can sympathize with it and once america assumes the to which her mighty power gives her the right she can be the real interpreter ter preter between the east and the west and lacking an interpreter the east can only become a great potential enemy protagonist of racial hatreds and racial wars america won her spurs at moscow and teheran all we can ask is the support ot of the people so that she can wear them with the honor she loves with the power she has hail ts food production and world needs A detailed analysis ot of the worlds food fiber and tobacco needs and the part the united states must play in supplying them now and in the postwar period has been made public by the national planning association if the united states were to adopt a minimum diet and direct its present food producing resources resources and agricultural labor accordingly says gays the national planning ass association ocla a nongovernmental governmental non organization there would be enough food left over to teed feed another one hundred and thirty million people the report world needs for U S food and fiber was prepared by dr john D black of harvard dr black is also a member of 0 the food and nutrition board of the national research council and on the economic panel which is advising the united nations interim commission on food and agriculture home production must and can be expanded to meet the needs of the united nations the armed forces ova our own civilians and to aid starving countries the report contends but even with greatly expanded production it holds out little hope for an end to all rationing for a year or even two years after the war A highly efficient low cost balanced human diet can be compounded from whole wheat potatoes pe peas as and beans whole milk vegetable oils and carrots and tomatoes says dr black but at the same time any reasonable statement of food ne needs eds must recognize not only the difficulty ity of changing food habits quickly but also th
