• WASHINGTON —If the t'nlted State* ii going to In l i«r
t . • :> !< rnutiorml politics, it la tlm* It learned to play hall withm
ir.'. r. country. This In aimpie Americana is the ^eneml opinion of
i five t'nlted State* asnators who have Junt returned fro.it an ofll-
i .id tniir of the war nans
"Thi ■ means." said Senator Ralph Brewster of Main* In talking
it the t #000-mile senatorial Journey, "that we have got to leurn
team work. More than this. we've got to copy the
Mlperb team-work of the British. Everywhere we
m _ went we found the British agencies pulling to-
get her in harmony for the 3riti*h. Naturally, tho
Britiah are piillirii; meanwhile for the United Na-
tlona. There Is no doubt about that Tliere ia also
no doubt that the Vni{fd States la scattering Its
ivftouree* and hiains. and forgetting. sometimes,
to which country it owes first ullegiance."
Indeed, some of the foreign golnga-on of the
United States are *r> harebrained that the people
whom thi* country moat want* to help are atsa-
pli-loua of our purpose. Thia la another conclusion
the visiting senators reached. Especially ia thm
true in Auatralia There, when Senator Brewster
and Senator James Mead held a press conference.
1' y I..i.l to.anawer thi# question, "Has the United States impeli.ilis-
i . intt-ritiona? lioea she wish, by chance, to acquire more territory
i . i h i'- ' It,ahe doesn't, why is .-he upending so much money out-
.1 e ut her own country ?'<
t >.tr h'.-r.eroai^jr, our determined Lady Bountiful attitude, ia ilia-
t.iti. the governments of our Allica. who, in aelf-defenae, some,
t - try to minimize the IT. S. aid, and to hint to their people that
Arn.nian* are ah unatable. changeable people.
A ye,it- ago. whan moat of the world waa terrified of the Japs and
N. /is, our Ailiea were happy to accept our aid. Now*, ao the touring
• (.u-Jatura report, many foreigners wish that we would proceed more
i 'ui:i(.iialy with our plana for relief and rehabilitation in occupied
war-ahocketl cohnVHea. #
Ore of the moat important officials of a country recently freed
fi fu Am> <ot;trul told the senators that he waa frightened at the
t ■ i .!'>• g iu.-h of the United States to move in with help where help
W needed.
The lai k of correct Information abroad about America's part in
tl" ' iir is further evidence that this country is not pitching pride,
t' ly in the big International league. Senator Brewster declares. "In
• i •.I ing. our embassy receives every morning from Renter's, tho
1.- ;«*i neus agency, a report that frequently overlooks tho im-
I •f.nce of some U. S. war effort. Three ir four days later, the
Ai ."tii ip. news agencies produce their report. But who wants to read
nr. M report? The situation got so had in Chungking that the Amcr.
i ir. embassy there protested to Anthony Eden about certain nrticlcr
f;.; ;-;uh1 by Renter's and published in Chlmse papers. These articles
v u extremely embarrassing to the United States and very favor-
utile to Britain. Eden said he was sorry but he couldn't interfere
v ith "the freedom of the press."
It dia is one country about which the American legislators have
m rv definite ideas. "l«eave India alone, " they say. "It's a hot potato.
K gland's hot potato, not ours."
'1 ■ • y wonder, too. how It happens that the OWI
lias one hundred agents In India selling the Indian
I ople on the American way of life. What right, asks
iritnr Brewster, have we to propagandize in India?
\ •• > 't ptetty mad when a recent Russian atnbas-
.• of piopagandlged In the United States?
Well, I have been trying to tell you some of the discoveries Sena-
t • Hie water. Russell, Lodge. Chandler and Mead made on their
\ ng It was a thrilling Journey. It must lie made u useful one.
1 hould like to have the American people know what the travelers
|r anted. It is.time indeed that we learned to pitch for America first
i tl.u country. It la not disloyal to the war effort to suggest this.
' ur is it disloyal to any to congtess, "You have the U. S ball In your
c n bands In the international game. It's up to you to clear up the
< :i Mon and lack of teamwork reported by th" representatives yc.it

CHAPTER ELEVEN
RUTH AND JACK then not Into
the car and drove off. When they
were moving up IJnville'R main
I street. Jark suggested Ice croam
l at the corner drug store.
I When they entered the drug
, store they saw Brenda Leigh sit-
i ting at the soda counter with the
editor of the Llnvllle Caactte.
' They were deep In conversation
and didn't see Ruth nnd .Jack as
they passed.
But when the editor left, Brenda
turned to look about Iter nnd finally
saw them at a table in the corner.
She drained her gla.«s of s-xla and
went over.
"Mind If I be the crowd for a
few moments?"
Jack sprang up and got a chair
for her. "Sit down, by all means."
he said. "I've something to say to
you anyway."
"You're not a crowd," said Ruth.
"Have an Ice cream?"
"No. thanks. I just had a soda
with ye editor." Brenda replied, and
took the chair Jack waa holding
for her.
"Which reminds me of what I
have to say to you," saiil Jack.
"What on earth Is it?" Brenda
asked. "You sound as If you had a
lecture all planned."
"I have." said Jack. He sat
down, smiling at Brenda. "You've
no business wasting your time In
here with that hard-boiled editor."
"Why not?"
"You're upsetting my plans, and
knocking my prayers sky hi^h."
"Your prayers?" said 'irenda,
puzzled. "What In the world are
you talking about?"
"It's like this," said Jack, as
Ruth sat and wished he would keep
quiet. "I've been praying that you'd
fall In love with Adam North and
marry him—and here I come Into
tho drug store and find you hob-
nobbing with ye editor, as you call
him."
Brenda laughed. "It was purely
business, Jack* He's going to let
me look through the old files of the
Gazette to get some historical data
for stories about Linville."
"Well, that's all right then. I for-
give you. Is that material for your
itorles you have with you?"
"No, this is the manuscript of
Peter Piatt's play. We had a meet-
ing tonight, and I've been asked to
•xo over it and polish it up Itcrc and
I there."
"You mean Mrs. Piatt's going to
put it on?" asked Ruth.

"Yes." Brenda replied. "And you
anil Jack will prulMbly be called
upon to play the two Juvenile
roles."
"As an actor, 1 make a good tool-
maker." said Jack.
"I love playing!" said Ruth. "But
everybody's so busy nowadays, I
don't see how we can spare the
time for rehearsals."
"You'll manage," said Brenda.
"Anyway, it's for the USO, and you
can't turn Mrs. Piatt down."
"But about those stories you
want to write about Llnvllle," said
Jack. "You should turn your at-
tention to Adam. He has more local
history on the tip of his tongue
than the Gazette luts In a dozen
files."
"So I've heard," said Brenda.
"But Adam is too busy at the fac-
tory to talk to me."
"He finds time to play illler-in
for absent husbands," said Jack,
"so he ought to have time for you."
"Don't lie silly. Jack," said Ruth.
"Honestly, sometimes you talk like
a matchmaker."
"I'<1 turn matchmaker for a
fact," he said, "if I thought 1 could
marry Brenda off to Adam. Now
there is the perfect match. Mr. and
Mrs. Adam North, living in the old
Leigh house. Mrs. North writing
swell Southern yarns, and Mr.
North running a factory and put-
tering around his garden. Say.
Brenda. did you know Adam Ukee
to garden?"
"No. I didn't." Brenda replied.
"And I'm not going to intrude any
longer. The idea, neglecting Ruth
nnd your own love affair while you
try to marry me off to Adam
North."
"Well, I still say It's a swell
idea!" saiil Jack. "And if you're
honest, you'll say you agree with
me."
"Adam's a fine man," Brenda
said. "I grant you that. But mod-
ern though I be, Jack, I'm still mid-
Victorian when It comes to pro-
posals. I still think that proposing
is the man's Job."
"I reckon you're light," Jack
agreed. Then, grinning, he added,
"You know, of course, that 'asking
Adam' is an old Linville custom."
"So I've heard," said Brenda.
•Then why don't you Join up and
do some asking?" Jack went on.
"Maybe Adam would like being
asked to marry, for a change. In-
stead of being asked to fill in at
dinner or a bridge party."
Brenda laughed. "I'll waste no
more time listening to your non-
sense." She got up and started to-
ward the door. "Good night, you
two—and pleasant dreams!"
"Same to you," Jack said, stand
ing and watching her go. He
sighed. "A darned fine gal If ever
there was one," he said when he
had reseated himself. "Adam North
must be blind as a bat not to see
iL"
Ru{h pushed back her chair and
got to her feet. "If you're through
trying to marry off people," she
said, "you can take me home."
"Sure," said Jack. Then, as they
went out into the street, he aaid,
"Well, I'll at least be able to make
love to you in the play, if we get
roles."
"How do you know you will?"
"We'll probably be cast as the
romantic interest—that's why."
"But suppose we are cast as
brother and sister?"
"Heaven forbid!" Jack ex-
claimed. "I'm getting pretty tired

During the next few days Brenda
Leigh discovered that there wax a
great deal more work to lie dime
on Peter IMatt's play than she hail
realized when consenting to under-
take the rewriting job. Hut she
stuck steadily at It. Kor one thing,
ahe was glad to have something to
keep her busy, so that she wouldn't
have so much time to think of Jack
Vinton's talk about her and Adam
North. That talk had depressed her
no end, and It still depressed her
whenever she let the memory of it
come to mind. To make it even
worse. It was hard to understand
just why she should feel depressed.
But when she recalled what Jack
had said about "Mrs. North" and
Mr. North" living out at the old
Leigh place, she found herself
wondering if she had made a mis-
take in going after a career. Think-
ing about how pleasant it could be
living at the Leigh plare with a
husband who loved and admired
her, and seeing all her friends mar-
ried, In homes of tlieir own, belong-
ing to each other, had made her
realise what a lonely thing a career
could really be.
She was thinking along those
lines now as she walked toward
Mm. Piatt's resilience, the rewrit-
ten version of the play under her
arm. All those who were to have
parts in the play had been notified,
and Mrs. Piatt had nsked her to
come and read the manuscript
aloud to the gathering. She wished
now that she had refused, for the
depression was heavier upon her
than It had ever been. Not only did
she keep remembering a lot of
things Jack had said, hut she also
remembered some of the things a
doctor had said to her up in New
York. His words came back to her
with remarkable clarity as she
slowly walked along the street.
It was almost as though she were
watching a sketch being played by
two people, with the setting the
office of a cosmopolitan doctor.
"Miss I^elgh," the doctor had
•aid to her after hearing her ex-
plain something of how she felt,
"what you need is a generous dose
of romance."
"What ?" she had exclaimed,
looking at him in utter mazement.
. . . Imagine going to a medical
practitioner to get a tonic for your
run-down, tlred-out feeling, and
having romance prescribed! "I cer-
tainly hope you know what you're
talking about," she had added.
"I most certainly do," the doctor
had said. "The trouble with you
modern women Is thet competition
with men in the business world haa
gone to your heads. It's taken
something out of you—the little
feminine charms, the helplessness,
and—"
"In other words," she cut in, "we
have ceased to be clinging vines."
"Exactly!" ho agreed. "And
what a pity! Men like women not
to be ao devilishly self-sufficient.
And another thing, men can attend
to their business and still find time
for romantic moments. But not you
women! Oh, no, you're so excited
over your new freedom, you've for-
gotten how to be human, forget-
ting sex is absolutely necessary If
you're to have any balance." He
paused and shook his head slowly.
"No matter what work or career a
woman takes up, her first duty al-
ways should be that of being a
woman."
