...first time since the present game of international power politics began in 1931 (when Japan seized Manchuria) the London-Washington Axis dealt the cards last week. With growing concern the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis watched them fall. The removal of the moral embargo against Russia (see p. 11) may have been only a nine-spot, but the missions of such men as Harry Hopkins, Wild Bill Donovan (see p. 21) and Wendell Willkie (see p. 16) might turn up jacks or better. The unprecedented welcome President Roosevelt gave Lord Halifax (see p. 11) was an ace with which the Lend...
...salt in his mouth. For Winston Churchill such a statement was a kind of concession. But it was one which he had to make. By last week the Army-especially the one right at home-was very much on the British mind. Defense against invasion was again the biggest concern...
...plot is about the return of the ghost of General Andrew Jackson to help an admirer.

Moral: the rest should never have been admitted into the Army. Last week Colonel Rowntree's assistants reported that 10% of volunteers taken into the U. S. Army in 1940 began to display psychiatric difficulties after...
...member stores sold $4,500,000,000 worth of goods more than 15% of all U. S. retail sales. President Frank McConnell Mayfield's keynote was grim. Said he: ". . . the waving of flags and singing of God Bless America will not solve the problem. . . . The principal concern of retailing as it faces a New Year is to further the progress of national rearmament...
