as Americans ardently hope, the policies and interests of the United States. Britain and Russia must be brought into harmony; otherwise the political and economic rivalries are only too likply to pave the way for terrible conflicts later. National aspirations easiest to Mttjfy are those of the United Stares. The fundamental reason is that the United States entered the war in the European theater to put an end to the aggressions by which Hitler plunged Europe into conflict for the second time in a generation. mm P.ack of the determination to get rid of Hitler lay the long standing historic American desire to end for good all Europe's periodic conflicts which ao often have threatened the peace of this country.

By our military and naval intervention and our lend-lease we've already saved Britain and Russia from defeat. Now the ultimate destruction of Hitler seems certain, although It is likely still to cost us a great effort and heavy casualties. One thing the citizens of this country are fighting for is the application of the American idea of a square deal for all. The task of harmonizing British interests in a practical program of peace for Europe should not be difficult. Britain, which never desired a foot of European territory, probably desires it now less than ever.

The Mediterranean and the Near East is England's most ardent desire for the preservation of the status quo. Since Queen Victoria, Britain has been losing ground in relation to other world powers in the struggle for military and industrial might. Her birth rate is decreasing, and the empire is no longer animated by the urge to expand. The greatest threat to a world internationally organized for peace and justice is lusty, young Russia. The Russians can not be blamed for this.

The greatest threat their national grou offers a stable world lies in a biological fact which is beyond the control of the people. They are at the height of one of the greatest periods of expansion ever chronicled in the world's history. Expansion of states and nations is a well recognized feature of his New Invasion NEW DELHI.
