STALIN DRINKS TO VICTORY
At the grand finale Moscow dinner which Josef Stalin
gave for Cordell Hull and Anthony Eden, a significant
event took place. Those present interrupted it as meaning
that Stalin would stick with the Allies through thick and
thin.
During the dinner, there was the usual round of toasts—
about twenty in all—lasting until arond 2 A. M. When it
came to the toast of Major General John R. Deane, Secre-
tary Hill’s chief adviser on military matters, he raised his
glass and said:
“I drink to the day when the British, American and
Russian armies meet in the streets of Berlin.”
Pandemonium broke loose. Everyone cheered. But the
Russians cheered loudest.
During the hubbub, Stalin suddenly left his place at the
head of the table, walked thirty feet to where General
Deane was standing, and clinked his glass.
It was the toast which Stalin seemed to .enjoy most.
CAPITAL CHAFF
While the United States, for reasons of policy, is with-
drawing from the Argentine market, John Bull is still plug-
ging his old slogan in Argentina—"Buy British.” This slogan
is featured in British magazine advertisements in Argen-
tina even in wartime . . . Ten days before the White House
announced that Japan would be shorn of its empire, news-
man J. Kingsbury Smith wrote for American Mercury, “The
American planners intend that she (Japan) shall give up
control over all of North China, including Manchuria; that
she shall withdraw from Korea and the island of Formosa.”
. . . The State Department frowns on Spanish Republicans
in Mexico who want to form a Committee of Free Spain.
That was one reason they kept the Loyalist Minister of
Education cooling his heels in Seattle for so long. He
wanted to cross the U. S. A. to Mexico.
“T. R.’s” GRANDSON
At the close of the Atlantic City Relief Conference, the
head of an important foreign delegation remarked: “This
is the first international conference in which the American
delegation was hard to get along with.”
Normally, U. S. delegates, especially when hosts of a
conference, make themselves readily available to foreign
delegates, especially to chief delegates.
This particular chief delegate of a powerful Latin Ameri-
can ally called the hotel room of U. S. Delegate Dean
Acheson, got young Kermit Roosevelt on the phone. Roose-
velt, grandson of “T. R.,” is an assistant in the State De-
partment.
“I would like an apponitment to see Mr. Acheson,” said
the delegate.
“What do you want to see him about?” asked Roosevelt.
“I felt like saying,” commented the Latin American dele-
gate, “ I want to see him about the weather’.”

Any Allied drive through Turk-
ey into the Balkans probably would
be accompanied by a thrust across
the Adriatic from newly-won bases
in southern Italy into Jugoslavia
for a pincers offensive.
A United Press dispatch from
Cairo, which passed the strict Bri-
tish censorship there, said the A-
rabic press was speculating broad-
ly on Turkey’s future role, though
Allied authorities . refused com-
ment on the situation.
Among the principal questions
discussed by the newspapers, the
dispatch said, were:
1. Opening of the Dardanelles to
Allied ships supplying Russia.
2. Russian influence in the Balk-
ans, particularly in Bulgaria, Gree-
ce and Jugoslavia.
3. Possible German reprisals a-
gainst Istanbul in the event Tur-
key entered fhe war.
4. Possible further Russian influ-
ence through the middle East to
ward Iran.

WASHINGTON.—Democratic leaders are trying to1 keep it
quiet, but there was a hot blow-up over the 1944 campaign
at a private Administration luncheon on the Senate side of
the Capitol the other day.
The principals were Democratic National Chairman Frank
Walker, Food Administrator Marvin Jones and Senator Guy
Gillette of Iowa, whom the President attempted to purge
in 1938.
Gillette showed up late for the luncheon and was prompt-
ly challenged by Walker and Jones.
“What’s this I hear about you not running for re-election
to the Senate in 1944?” asked Walker.
“That’s right,” replied Gillette. “I’ve announced that I
wouldn’t run again for the Senate, and I intend to stick
by it.”
“But how about your party?” countered Walker. “We
need men of your caliber to hold up the State tickets in
1944. Otherwise, we’re going to have a very tough time.”
“I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to say that,”
replied Gillette. “You gentlemen didn’t seem to think that
I belonged to, the Democratic party in 1938, when Tommy
Corcoran and other members of the White House guard were
trying to defeat me in the Iowa senatorial primary.”
. “How about in 1932?” countered Walker.
“Listen, Frank, don’t try to kid me about that campaign,”
responded Gillette. “I admit I rode in on the President’s
coat-tails like a lot of others.”
“And you still don’t agree that you owe something to the

tanks and infantry against the
Russian-held salient in an effort to
throw the Soviets back to the east
bank of the Dnieper beyond Kiev,
but Moscow reported that all at-
tacks had been halted.
Farther south, converging Rus-
sian armies plunged to within sev-
en. miles of the twin railway junc-
tions of Khirovka and Znamen-
ka, which control all the remain-
ing German-held railway lines in
the southern Ukraine east of Od-
essa.
Capture of the two junctions
would seal the railroad escape
routes for hundreds of thousands
of Nazi troops still holding out in
the Dnieper bend in the Krivoi
Rog and Nikopol sectors.
Other Russian forces tightened
their siege lines around the white
Russian railway town of Zhlobin
in a similar effort to prevent the
escape of the German garrison
that abandoned Gomel two weeks
ago. Nazi resistance was reported
stiffening in the key junction
town.
On the diplomatic front, hope
of an early peace for Finland fail-
ed as Moscow warned the Finns
that they must assume “ful respon-
sibility” with Germany for the
continued shelling of Leningrad
and Finnish President Rysto Rytl
declared flatly that his country
will not accept unconditional sur-
render.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s com-

Other forces slowly were win-

ators dropping 155 tons of bombs

progress up the New Guinea Huon

Rabaul itself was brought under

Geneva, Switzerland, is do-

great Christian president, has

America for their supply.

With that, the Iowa anti-New Dealer turned on his heel

“LOYALIST” VETERANS IN U. S. ARMY
Some time ago, this' column revealed the manner in
which American youngsters who had fought for the Span-
ish Loyalists during the civil war of 1936 39 were being
kicked around inside the U. S. Army. They were flunked
out of officer candidate schools even when they stood near
the top of their class, and many were refused combat duty.
Since then, thanks to liberal Assistant Secretary of War
Jack McCloy, this situation has changed. Spanish Loyalist
veterans have been given a chance to get into combat.
They have more than justified this reversal of discrimina-
tion. Here is the record of a few of them:
Sergeant Anthony Toney of Gloversville, N. Y., received
the Distinguished Flying Cross for air operations in the
Pacific; Sergeant Jerry Weinberg of Brooklyn was; bited for
the DFC for participating in the Ploesti air raid,, in which
he was forced down; Sergeant Robert Thompson of Long
Island City, N. Y., received the Distinguished Service Cross
for heroism in the South Pacific; Captain Herman Bottcher
