*7Usiee' Meeting Q<uttemp.lcde& §oo*t New York, Jan. 20—At the coming Roosevelt-Stalin-Chur chill meeting, the most decisive conference of this war, Roose velt will be pitted against two strong leaders, both of whom mistrust the president’s ability to deliver senate approval of his plan for a world security organization, Business Week de Clares in its weeKly analysis ui “The War and Business Abroad.” “The president, anticipating the biggest foreign policy fight of his career, is preparing to use the bar gaining strength of this country’s enormous economic resources to a t tain some of the international polit ical ends he believes are necessary if world peace is to be maintained,” says the publication. “Objective at the pending meet ing will be to bribe and threaten on such a vast economic scale that Stalin and Churchill will be forced to make the political concessions necessary to sell the plan to the senate on his return. Roosevelt hopes to accomplish all this in time to call a United Nations conference, (probably at French Lick, Jnd.) not later than March. “There, following a minimum commitment from the senate (al ready hinted by Senator Vanden berg), the decisions reached at the Big Three conference would be translated into a specific United Nations program. “Moves already are under way to unify this country’s vast eco nomic powers into a diplomatic battering ram. Execution, for the immediate future at least, will be concentrated in the state depart ment, under William L. Clayton. “The foreign economic adminis tration will come under state's con trol as soon as FEA can divorce itself from any activities that might embarrass state. “Roosevelt’s most powerful bar gaining weapons, once their blows can be synchronized through the economic high command, include: “(1) Access to this country’s un paralleled financial resources, through the Bretton Woods banks and the enlarged export-import bank. “(2) Access to this country’s market (presumably with a greatly enlarged reciprocal trade pro gram). “(3) Access to this country's huge supplies of war surpluses, and to its vast capacity to produce new equipment of the most advanced design. (Britain is being tempted this week with a special offer to acquire an important portion of this country's surplus ships; Tur key, Sweden, and Spain already have been allowed to buy airplanes; France has been given high pri orities on locomotives and rolling stock; and Russia is getting every-: r ' thing from tire factories to steel mills.) “(4) Access to this country’s enormous reserves of technical spe cialists to help train foreign work ers and to help plan vast indus trialization programs. “(5) Ability of the U. S. to bar gain independent of formerly for eign-controlled supplies of key commodities (including silk, rub ber). “Incidentally, the* president is unimpressed with London threats to line up with Russia if the Brit ish fail to get a satisfactory offer from Washington. “Besides the economic conflicts between British capitalism and Russian collectivism, the two na tions already are competing for political dominance in the near and middle East, and may event ually clash in India and southern Asia.”- Business Week.

Yelled Robinson “That’s not the place where you’re shot!” Maybe that’s where he felt it the most. Homer, of the Iliad, tells us that Hector’s baby was afraid of his facer's plumes in his war helmet. “The Trojan Women” are looking for a little boy, (or little girl that looks like a boy—c’est le guerre) big enough to walk and small enough to be carried by Hecuba while she laments at the climax, who will not howl at the sight of warriors’ plumes. The said prodigy must also be able to stand still. Wonder what actor’s union will say!
