Armour Ideas Make the Most of Meat
Lamb Curry! A Big Meal for 6
Even with rationing you can serve a
big, hearty meat dinner that’s so fill
ing, so substantial... it fills the bill
as well as any pre-war meal you ever
had! For a delicious casserole of
Lamb Curry takes only IV2 points if
you use lamb breast, only 6 points if
you use lamb shoulder!
Either way, you’ll ha’'e enough for
5 or 6 man-sized meat servings. If you
use Armour’s Star Lamb, you’ll be
sure of rich flavor and high nutrition,
regardless of the cut you choose!
Have n/2 lbs. of Star Lamb (breast
or shoulder) cut into 1-inch cubes and
brown lightly with V2 cup chopped
onion. When light brown, add 3 cups
hot water, 2 tsps. salt, M tsp. thyme
and simmer IV2 hours over very low
heat. When done, add 2 tbsps. flour
mixed with V2 tsp. curry powder and
enough cold water to make thin paste.
Meanwhile, cook % cup rice in 4 cups
salted water until tender (about 25
minutes). Rinse in hot water. Line
casserole with thick layer of rice,
packing well. Pour in curry mixture
and serve at once.

CHAPTER 23
Moscow was a buyers’ market
in the autumn of 1942. The Soviets
were selling the second front 1942,
preferred. So when Wendell Will
kie came as personal representa
tive of President Roosevelt, seek
ing precisely second-front stock,
locked doors flew open, frozen
faces melted into smiles, and the
Kremlin gave him the warmest
welcome it had extended to a for
eigner in many a moon.
In contrast *to Prime Minister
Churchill’s visit, Willkie’s was one
of back-slapping goodfellowship
and closed in complete accord.
But Churchill was the one who
directed the destinies of one of
Russia’s great allies, while Willkie
was only a leader of the opposi
tion in the other.
Willkie’s visit to Russia, in Sep
tember, could have no immediate,
specific effect on the conduct of
the war, since he was not in a
position to make any official de
cisions, but it formed a remark
able chapter in the history of that
period. It showed the Soviet de
sire for understanding and friend
ship, and it opened a new period
of public pressure on the Allies
to create a second front.
On his second day in Moscow
I was invited to dinner with Will
kie. I obtained a clear impres
sion that Willkie was in Moscow
to get ammunition for a political
battle, in case there should be
any isolationist or fifth-columnist
movement in America for peace
before both Germany and Japan
were completely defeated. He
wanted the United States to stay,
in the war until the victorioi* end.
He also wanted to promote sup
port for a western European of
fensive, by killing any suspicion
that Russia would lie down and
leave us alone, once we were en
gaged with the Germans.
Stalin and Willkie got along fa
mously For one reason, they
were of the same mind on the
most important subject of the day
—the second front. For another,
although they spoke different lan
guages, Russian and English, they
talked them in the same way,
frankly. Stalin liked Willkie per
sonally, and Willkie admired Sta
lin.
They were together for two
hours and fifteen minutes, a long
time for a Kremlin talk. Molotov
and an interpreter were present.
Willkie handed a written message
from President Roosevelt to Stalin,
and received a verbal reply. They
talked of Soviet and American in
dustrial production, of Russian de
sire for more active Allied aid, of
victory and a peace where each
nation would live according to its
likes. Willkie went away, sold on
the need for a second front.
He went immediately to the
‘first front.’ Stopping at the guest
house only long enough for a hasty
supper, he drove west that same
night, under a pale Russian moon,
to the Red army zone near Rzhev.
This trip was the routine one
which the Soviets had long since
organized. It gave Willkie a
chance, however, to talk to some
soldiers and peasants. It also gave
him a second sleepless night, for
after dusk he started the drive
back to Moscow.
On his last day in Moscow, he
came to a cocktail party, given
by the correspondents in the As
sociated Press room at the Hotel
Metropole, and handed out a state
ment, summing up his visit.
‘I am now convinced we can
best help Russia by establishing
a real second front in Europe
with Great Britain at the earliest
possible moment our military lead
ers will . approve,’ he said, ‘and
perhaps some of them need some
public prodding. Next summer
might be too late.’
That rather ominous statement
reflected the Kremlin view. But
before Willkie left, on his last
night in Moscow, the most reveal
ing light on the Soviet attitude
was cast during his dinner at the
Kremlin.
That dinner was the most inti
mate of any offered to an imor
tant visitor. Twenty-eight persons
attended. At 8 p.m., they walked
through the Supreme Soviet coun
cil chamber of the Great Palace,
their steps echoing through the

vast, empty hall, and entered the
St. Alexander room.
Stalin placed Willkie on his right
and Admiral Standley on his left,
with an interpreter beside each
of them. It started out as a merry
meal. It became merrier in the
course of 27 toasts. Stalin ro-p
posed a toast to his guest of honor,
Willkie. Willkie replied with a
toast to Stalin and Churchill. Mol
otov toasted Roosevelt. That took
care of formalities. Then the fun
began.
Stalin chided the interpreters I
for translating in dull, flat voices,
without emotion. Willkie promptly
toasted the interpreters, ‘the only
ones who are working here to
night.’ Stalin drank to their health
and remarked that, when they
Joseph Barnes proposed a toast
drinking to Barnes as a corre
spondent who had been fair and
just in Moscow. Gardner Cowles,
Jr., who was also with Willkie’s
party, brought them to their feet
with a roar to drink to the aver
age Russian soldier. Then mat
ters took a serious turn.
Commander Paul Phil, Willkie s
naval aide, suggested a toast to
air pilots, which were duly drunk.
Stalin turned the conversation
immediately to Red air force pi
lots who he saicj were fighting well,
although they knew the Toma
hawks they were flying were not
so good as Airacobras, and the
Hurricanes they were flying were
not so good as Spitfires. His tone
was severe. He carried it even
farther, by asserting 152 Airaco
bras, which were to be delivered
to Russia, had been intercepted
en route and diverted to the Brit
ish.
Willkie tried to liven the tone
by remarking that Stalin certainly
kept his ‘eye on the ball.’ That
took some explanation, through the
interpreters, about golf and base
ball, before Stalin got the point.
CONSTIPATED!
Don’t Force! Don’t Strain!
Thus Risking Hemorrhoids!
Here’s one right and proper way to
moisten hard dry passages and secure
more gentle "easy” movements. 15
minutes before breakfast, drink a glass
of hot water to which one teaspoonful
of Kruschen Salts has been added.
While you are eating breakfast the hot
water and Kruschen will be feeding
moisture to those hard, dry passages.
They become soft, moist, easier to ex
pel. No need to strain apd thus risk
painful rectal irritation. Usually with
in 30 minutes wastes are expelled
smoothly and gently. You feel glorious
ly fresh again.
Take only as directed. Try Kruschen
for 5 days for you can so regulate the
dose as to bring about that "easy”
movement such as you have long de
sired. Don’t delay—you can get Krus
chen Salts at any drug store.

Then he agreed, he did keep his
eye on the ball.
But a serious charge had been
made, even though presented cas
ually. Clark Kerr, the only British
guest, had to reply. He said he
had long studied Stalin’s charac
ter, even before coming to Russia
from China, and he had admired
him, especially for his bluntness.
That quality, he said, called for
bluntness in reply. The Soviet Un
ion, Great Britain, and the United
States were united in a common
cause, he pointed out, and if any
planes were diverted from Rus
sia, it would only be to further
the cause of all three. If such a
thing had happened, he conclud
ed, he was sure Stalin knew about
it in advance and knew it was
for the best. That was the final
speech.
‘Nothing the British ambassador
has said will be taken amiss,’
Stalin said, and the guests ad
journed to the throne room of St.
Andrew where the fun was re
sumed.
Wearily, but happily, the guests
wended their ways home in the
early morning hours. Just before
noon of September 27, Willkie flew
off for Kuibyshev and Chungking.
There was a serious aftermath
to the Willkie visit. He had come
as President Roosevelt’s repre
sentative, to study the Russian
people and Red army, and to pro
mote friendship between the Rus
