WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 —(—
Without any substantial prospects
of changing a word or inserting an
6 "A” a weeks debate on the Con-
“nally resolution has erected six
signposts for negotiators of the
peace treaty to read in gauging
the Senate’s attitude toward post
war policy.
These six major points all were
D supplied by members of a senate
foreign relations subcommittee
which produced the resolution as
the framers’ interpretations of the
Connally proposal, which would
pledge the United States to join
with "free and sovereign nations in
0 the establishment and maintenance
of international authority with
power to prevent aggression and to
preserve the peace of the world ’'
Debate will be resumed Monday
and additional interpretations may
a be brought out. Those made thus
* far sav that the resolution.
1. Does not envision the forma-
tion of a world super state in which
the United States would lose its
sovereign identity.
a 2. Invites all "free and sovereign
nations” to join in collaboration to
preserve future peace; but this does
not include France until she is
'liberated.'’ nor India in its present
status; and there is a question
about the participation of Cana-
Oda and New Zealand.

The Ides of November are more to
be feared in Germany for what they
bode for the future than for their
defeat memories of 25 years ago.
A year ago the Battle of Stalin-
grad was flaming to its height.
Axis troops stood upon the bank of
the Volga and Hitler was trumpet-
Ing that they never would leave.
Not many did leave there alive ex-
cept as Russian war prisoners. The
Germans are west of the Dnieper

for Lubbock to attend the 34th an-
nual session of the Northwest Tex-
as conference. Along with them will
go an equal number of lay delegates,
several retired pastors and other at-
taches. Dr. C. A Bickley, superint-
endent of the district, will head
the delegation.
Pastors who will report tor their
charges are: Abilene. First Church,
J. H. Hamblen: Fairmont. R. L.

Methodist University; Holland Hope,

J. A Scoggins, on sabbatical leave;
Doyle Morton, missionary to Brazil.
Dr C. A. Bickley, who is finish-
ing his sixth year on the district,
in accordance with Methodist pro-
cedure, be returned to the pastor-
ate. Dr. Bickley came to the Abi-
lene district from Big Spring, where
he served as pastor for four conse-
cutive years. Rumor has it that Dr.
Bickley is slated to become pastor
of First Church, Childress, after
Nov. 11. Usually a pastor serves
only four years, but there have been
exceptions in the last few years.
Those serving four-year pastorates
in Abilene are Dr. R. L. Butler,
Fairmont C church, and Rev. Aub-
rey F White. Grace Church. Dr
J. H. Hamlin, pastor of First Church.
Is a notable exception. He has serv-
ed that congregation for the last
seven years and hundreds of his
members say that so far as they are
concerned he can stay there another
seven years. All of which is to the
liking of Dr. Hamblen. His work
in that church has been pheno-
menal.
' The query is, who will succeed
Dr. Bickley as Superintendent. The
answer lies with Bishop Ivan Lee
Holt and so far as known he has
not intimated who he will be.
Despite a drouth,year finances
are reported better over the area
than for several years, due to the
troops, was starting a gigantic
squeeze. It has cleared all Africa
and nearly half of Italy now. It
points with deadly menace by land,
sea and air at southern France, at
Greece and the Balkans and at
Germany.
I A year ago in the Atlantic Nazi
U-boats were cutting horrifying
gaps in the Allied vital supply lines
to Britain and to-Russia. Since that
last November regained Allied dom-
ination of the sea has established
just across the channel from the
Nazi conquered continent the forces
for invasion from the west as Rus-
sian armies breaching the crumbling
Dnieper front are marching from
the east
In the Pacific a year ago Japan’s
grip upon the island outworks of
her allotted conquest zone was being
challenged only on Guadalcanal, in
the Solomons The first American
thrust to wrench that critical air
base from enemy hands still was
unconsolidated. Australia was in
dire perM.
Now all the Solomons and virtual-
ly all of the vital sectors of New
Guinea have been cleared of Nip-
ponese The final stroke that will
sweep him out of Rabaule is close
at hand. The Aleutians have been
retaken. There is every evidence
that American initiative soon will
fire the Central Pacific into a blaze
of action.
Further, Tokyo war-lords may
well wonder whether behind the
Moscow tri-partite conferences and
the crushing German defeats in the 1
west, may not be the day when a
victorious Russia will join the Unit-
ed Nation war fellowship in Asia
to complete Japanese encirclement
These are but the high lights of
the year that has gone by since
last November on the wsr fronts
Of even deeper significance at the
moment is the increasing evidence
of deepening gloom in Germany
over the war outlook, reflected even
by the chosen voice of Nazism. Herr
Goebbels.
He has had no German victory
to chronicle for a full year, only
defeats to explain and minimize
And how, as another November 11th
nears, he has set up the thesis that
Allied plans called for German ca-
pitulation by that 25th anniversary
of German surrender in World War
one.
1, Goebbels now says he sees no
sign of a German internal crackup.
But unquestionably something is
stirring in Germany under the
growing weight of military defeat
and the nerve' shattering bombing
| attacks Just what that' something
| is may be far clearer before anoth-
