Slow!.' but surely the
I’nited States, bleat Brit
ain and Russia seem to be
moving toward an under
standing o postwar affairs.
International polities are
always among the great
mysteries of the world, and
up to several months ago,
the relations between the
U. S. and Britain and Russia
were no exception.
But through all of the
diplomat ie jockeying, the
maneuvering fm advanta
ges by both sides, the situ
ation has begun to clear,
and from all appearances,
the three great United Na
tions powers are now in
agreement on the principles
for governing Europe after
the war.
To emphasize the closer rela
tions existing between the l.’. S.
(treat Britain a ml Russia, the
foreign ministers of the three
countries are scheduled to get
together in Moscow for conferen
ces looking toward the future of
Europe.
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull 's to represent the l . S. at
the Moscow meeting. Anthony
Eden will head th British dele
gation and V. Molotov will speak
for Russia. According to reports
Hull will he accompanied bv the
new 1'. . Ambassador to the So
Viet, W. Averill llarriman. ban
ker and business man.
The Moscow conference will
go down as a liistot ical event,,
and its decisions which must su
rely create a new older ill Ell
tope, may well have their effect
on the l’. S. and Britain.
During recent months. the
Russians have laid claims to the
Baltic states of Estonia. Latvia
and Lithuania and parts of Po
land. Rumania and Finland. Be
sides they have, revealed inten
tions of establishing a military
"protectorate over Czech* AMo
Vukia and the Balkans
As a further complication the
Russians have openly declared
that they will treat with a "free
Itlermany" that rids itself of Hit
ler and the .Nazi party. In tins
respect Russia would agree to
the maintenance of the Herman
•army, under Communist control.
|. Since Russia’s announced in
tentions fly in the face of the
1 Four Freedoms, the l-. S. and
I Britain are reported to have
, drawn an alternate proposal, un
der which they would join in
' guaranteeing the peace -of Eu
rope and thus remove Russia's
pretended need for annexing of
certin territories to guard against
possible future aggression.
In this respect the U.S. House
of Representatives passed the
Fullbright resolution. pledging
the 1’ S. to cooperate in the
maintenance of future world
peace by participating in any,
international machinery design
ed for the objective. Although
the Senate tabled the Fullbright
resolution it was to have written
one of its own, much along the
same lines.
In the writing of any resolu
tion, Senator Arthur Vanden
burg (Mich.) has insited that the
Senate incorporate a clause stat
ing that the U. S. maintain its
independence in deciding on
whether or not it should partici
pate in any particular measure
designed to preserve peace or
stabilize a situation. Such inde
pendence in international affairs
featured national Rehuhlicun
party's position as stated recent
ly at life celebrated Mackinac
meeting
But while the world awaits the
result of the Moscow conference
the I'nited States, (ireat Britain
and Russia already have set the
stage for cooperation in the Med
iterranean area of Europe.
Representatives of the three
powers were to sit down in algi
ers, .North Africa, to discuss all
military and political develop
moots leading out of the Medi
terranean war. Also participat
ing- in the conference will he the
"Free French' whom the Russi
ans have fully recognized as the
legitimate representatives of
Inclusion of the Russians on
the committee and their close
relations with the Free French
government. will tend to pro
mote the Reds' influence in Wes
tern Europe, 'where France and
England formerly hold sway.
While F. So British and Rus
sian relations are crystallizing,
however, this country is going
' ahead with preparations for its
part it ipation in the rehabilitation
and reconstruction of Europe.
Along with 4»real Britain, the
1 S. has taken the lead in pro
uniting a I'nited Nations reliel
and restoration program, based
on lines of the old League of Na
I lions. All of the 14 United Na
tions will have a voice ill the
program, hut actual operations

Overweight Oil makes
Old Cars Older—Fast
Note how Light a grade of oil can make good,
with your engine Winter OIL-PLATED
You can change to an oil-plated engine hv changing to
any grade of Conoco Nf/> motor oil — from lightest to
heaviest -and von can change to any grade of Conoco N'/i
at the same popular price. But. the lightest possible grade
of oil that's tit tor the Winter change your car needs now
will help to save your bat tery — your gasoline—your engine.
The more the oil is overweight, the greater the wear, and
when that makes you try st ill heavier oil you get still more
wear - still more oil and gasoline consumption—worse and
worse and worse. Short-circuit this ruinous process by
haying your engine oil-plated.
Oil-plating is distinct from the familiar liquid type of
high-strength oil tilm also provided by Conoco Nf/> oil.
But h oil tilm and oii.-plating are paired against wear every
mile. Kverv time your engine rests, however, any liquid
tilm drains down to t he crankcase. But. oil-plating doesn't
till drain down. It tends to stay wherever attached by
Conoco Nf/> oil's "magnet-like” action—achieved syn
thetically. Often now you don't, use your car for days. Yet.
when you start;, the oil-plated surfaces are still ready
lubricated . . taster than instantly.” That’s how the
Dread Engine Acid is
Fought by OIL-PLATING
Normal combustion alw ays
leaves acids inside of your
engine when it stops.
Formerly it seldom stood
idle long. Soon mileage and
speed heated your engine
enough to oust acids.
