US Asks Statement Of Russia's War Aims
Washington, (INS) — Unofficial Washington is fairly well convinced today that President Roosevelt is shrewdly maneuvering for a public understanding with Premier Stalin on Russia's plans for peace and the postwar world.
The President's advisers maintain that the United Nations have agreed on principles with Stalin but thus far, Russia's
a complete mystery not only to the peoples of the world but to many governments. Some high government officials in this country and members of congress frankly confess they know no more about the part Russia intends to play in the postwar world than the average citizen learns by reading his daily newspaper.
Wallace Warns of Third War
It is recalled that Vice President Wallace has warned that unless there is a definite understanding between the United States, Britain and Russia, the seeds of a third world war will be sown. Hence, unofficial Washington believes that Admiral William H. Standley—the President's personal choice as ambassador to Moscow—bluntly questioned Stalin's gratitude over Lend-Lease aid as a step toward clarifying Russia's place in the postwar world. If Standley's act achieves such a goal, he will be well repaid for the rebukes administered to him by the state department and administration spokesmen in congress.
Stalin Is a Lone Wolf
It is pointed out that Stalin has played a lone hand in the war to date. He aroused some concern in other United Nations when he declined to attend the Roosevelt-Churchill conference in North Africa—pleading he was too busy fighting the war to leave Moscow. And again, two weeks ago, he told the Russian people that "the Red army alone is bearing the whole weight of the war"—just 10 weeks after the Anglo-American invasion of North Africa.
On two other recent occasions, Stalin created worry in high places by announcements that Russia was fighting only to clear her soil of the German invaders. This purpose was not exactly in keeping with the war aims of the other United Nations. Must Re Mean Realistic
Must Be More Realistic
Under these circumstances, it would surprise no one in Washington if Mr. Roosevelt were trying to get a clear-cut and definite agreement with Stalin concerning postwar plans. There is some support for this belief in the recent declaration of Undersecretary of State Welles that "the time has come when we must translate into practical reality the principles on which we have all agreed."
It is considered significant that Admiral Standley's statement that the Russian people were not informed of United Nations aid had an immediate effect in Moscow. Last night, the Moscow radio broadcast in full the recent report of Lend-Lease Administrator Edward R. Stettinius on the amount of Lend-Lease aid already dispatched to Russia.
Book Breaks Records
William Saroyan's "The Human Comedy" has broken all advance sales records of the Book-Of-The-Month Club. The advance -342,000 copies—indicates a possible total sale of more than 1,000,000.
British Ignore Standley Attack
London, (INS)—The British government yesterday adopted an aloof attitude towards the controversy stirred up by Admiral William H. Standley's charge that the Soviet government had not fully informed the Russian people about the extent of Allied aid.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden refused to be drawn into discussion of the subject in the House of Commons. He said it was a matter that concerned the United States and Soviet governments. Earlier Brendan Bracken, minister of information, also declined to comment.
He said that the British government had received "fullest cooperation from the Soviet government, and that the sale of the British newspaper "British Ally" in Russia was increasing daily.
Eden said the British government would welcome discussions with the United States and other Allied Nations on post-war economic questions. A number of informal conversations already held with Allied representatives in London, he said, will be continued.
He said the proposed meeting in Ottawa between American and British representatives on post-war problems was welcomed by the British government.
WHERE TO GO---street or in some joint downtown but nine times out of ten, the girl are about sixteen or the kind you don't want to meet."
"We are ready to meet representatives of the United States at any mutually convenient place, and we hope the conference will have the widest scope," Eden declared.

"You're lucky, even if you don't know it. I've seen you around with some nice girl. But me, I don't know anybody so I just go around with the fellows. And they're just like me. Heck, we're pretty nice guys back home. Here we have nothing to do and no place to go on liberty."
I knew that for a fact, too.
"Occasionally some of us are asked to a party somewhere, but even that's not so hot. Half the time you feel they're just doing it because they think its their patrotic duty, not because they want to. Cripes, you feel so darned awkward, like a guy on exhibition!" Mae savagely inhaled on his cigarette.
Oh, sure, but it's darned boring to go to a show by yourself all the time. Besides that, a man in uniform only gets a few cents reduction on his ticket. Back East if you didn't get in free, you at least got a half comp."
"Yes, I know," I agreed.
"Well, can't you go to the show?"
USA Aid to Russia Rapidly Increased
I knew that for a fact, too.
"Some people seem to think that we are a bunch of rubes or wolves," he continued. "Heck, if we had the
Washington, (INS) — Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., lend-lease administrator, reported to Congress today on the second anniversary of passage of lend lease legislation that the United States had shipped 9 billion 632 million dollars worth of aid—including 1 billion 400 million dollars worth of airplanes—to the allies in the last two years.
Most significant chapter of the report was the notation that aid to Russia is being sharply increased.
ADDITIONAL SOCIETY--opportunity we could show the people that the majority of us are decent guys like anyone else. Sure some whistle and make remarks to the girls, but we're OK underneath."
Total aid to Russia was 1 billion 826 million dollars.
Of the amount furnished, Stettinius declared 7 billion 831 million represented munitions, food and other supplies and 1 billion 801 million dollars represented services rendered to the United Nations cause.

. Bill Hindman, traveling secretary from the Grand chapter at Richmond, left Tuesday for the Alpha chapter at Missouri University after spending a week here.
"What are you going to do this weekend?" I asked.
"I don't know. Do you have any ideas?" He turned to me as if hoping I had an answer.
All I could do was slap him on the back and say, "Maybe something will turn up, maybe the people here will try and do something to help you out."

In addition to the community recreation class, much of the collection has been done by the Jay Janes, women's pep club. Today and tomorrow the Jay Janes and the recreation class members will have tables in the library and in the Memorial Union building, Ruth Kelley, committee chairman reported today.
Dr. Allen observed that "the women gave more freely than the men students, the reason probably being that the women felt this was one way in which they could help the cause in view of the fact that so many of the men were giving their lives."
The proceeds of the mid-week last night added another $15 to the drive according to Newell Jenkins, chairman of the Student Union Activities board.
