IriJo-tild 9h Review
This term saw the world’s attention shift from war to
thoughts of peace. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, meeting
-feke middle of February at Yalta in the Crimea, made decisions
which included plans for the joint occupation, with French as
sistance, of Germany; settlement of the Polish boundaries; vot
ing procedure in the world organization; and the calling of a
United Nations conference in San Francisco on April 25 to set
up the world organization.
In the United States, congress
has been fighting' over the “work
or-else” bill and the confirmation
of Henry Wallace as secretary of
commerce replacing Jesse Jones.
The senate received Wallace’s
nomination on January 22nd and
delayed action on it until the
George Bill which takes the PvFC
and other lending agencies from
the control of the commerce de
partment, was approved February
16. Confirmation of Wallace’s
appointment then followed on
March 1st.
February 1st the house passed
the “work-or-else” bill and sent
it to the senate where it was shut
tled in and out of committees un
dergoing a number of changes. The
compromise bill has been sent to
the floor of the senate but no ac
tion has been taken on it as yet.

the hemisphere opened February
