Queen Elizabeth Bowls A "Fast One" The Queen, touring Scotland, bowled a fast one at a miners' welfare centre and earned this tribute from the lawn bowls club president : "You threw a real good wood." A miner's wife had asked: "Will your Majesty throw a bowl?" While the King smiled and look- ed on, tlir Queen sped the jack up. Her Majesty followed with a bowl stopped within a yard of ths jack. Press pictures showed the Queen to be a regular lawn-bowl- ing stylist, both knees slightly bent and the right arm stretched out as the bowl sped down the Record Shows Crow Lived Forty Years The Massachusetts Audubon So- elety recently published some in- teresting material in connection with the life span of birds. Mi- grating bird* are, of course, sub- jected to more hazards than those that remain in one place, although some of the former have attained long life. A white pelican, bonded In Yellowstone Park in 1932, died in Montana in 1940, but a jrannet, banded in Quebec in 1922, lived until 1939. In British Columbia, naturalists banded a glaucous-winged Kull in 1926. It was found dend in the same province in 1936. The Arctic tem, which covers more miles in migration than any other bird, was recorded as having a ten-year life span; and the much- maligned crow, hunted, dynamited u it In constantly, was found in ons oase to have lived for four- Wen yean. But the one for the record book is the partially-albino crow which was found dead at Arnold Arbo- retum, Boston, last year after a recorded existence of forty year*.

THE WAR - WEEK Commentary on Current Events Britain, the United States, Russia Pledge Co-ordinated War Effort 'NIB scratch of diplomats' pent for IMP brief epace of a day sound- ed more loudly last week over th warring world than the bursting of bomb* and the roar of mechan- ised weapons, writes the New York Times. Tiie United Statei, Britain and Russia bad affixed their signatures to documents of far-reaching import. A mutual as- sistance pact between London and Moscow, a maiter lease-lend con- tract for supplies from tat American arsenal to tfce Red Army and understandings In regard to a second European front through such Instruments the torse might- iest members of tbe United Na- tions pledged their peoples and resources to a coordinated eflfort for the duration and In the pesos to come. Almost tnrse years after Britain picked up the gag* e? battle, almost a year alter Russia's soil was Invaded and half a year after the United States was struck at Pearl Harbor, the pros- pect appeared of an Allied bhis- print to set against the aggres- sors' plans for new orders. Atlantic Charter Ai Basis The dramatic ocean rendezvous, in August of 1941, between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Obuii iiili laid the political found- ation. The Atlantic Charter Hated the principles of non-aggression, self - determination, reciprocal trade, freedom of the seas, aocial security and freedom from "fe&r and want" as the basis for "a better future for the world." The charter was accepted In the Dec- laration of the United Nations at the itart of 1942. It still stands as the cornerstone on which the Allies Intend to reconstruct post- war society. A global military strategy ihe toughest field of all U slowly emerging from a long round of staff talke spread from Chung- king through Moscow and London to Washington. It appears to be based on the acceptance of Hitler- ite Germany as the most danger- ous of the aggressors, and there- fore the one to be struck first and hardest by a synchronized of- fensive, by ihe Soviet ou the first front, by the British and Ameri- cans on a second front. The agree- ments disclosed last week touch ou all iin-1 ! factors and represent the culmination of the drive for an efficiently coordinated United Nations. Mr. Brown Last week It was disclosed that Mr. Molototf had flown to London and Wahingtou In a Soviet bomb- Ing plane manned by Soviet filers. Official Britain and America wel- comed the representative of their ally warmly but with no clicking heels, rattling BworjU, blaring bands; he was called r -Mr. Brown to keep his identity secret until he had returned to his own coun- try. Mr. Brown he spoke no Eng- lish, was accompanied by a Rus- sian interpreter rode a suburban train from the airfield Into Lon- don and not a commuter recogniz- ed him. He strolled the White M. .in... lawn in sight of thousands of office workers and went unrec- ognized. Pact With Britain Back in Moscow last week Mr. Molotoff reported to hie govern- ment that Mr. Brown bad been a very busy man on his trip. In ad- dition to the sightseeing, there had been long hours of hard work. He had three greitt achievements to report. They were: (1) The signing of a twenty- year niutunl assistance pact with Hi. in Britain. There were two priiicipul points In the part. The first: "In virtue of the alliance estab- lished between the United King- dom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the nigh con- tracting parties mutually under- take to afford one another mili- tary and other assistance against Germany and all those States which are associated with her In acts of aggression in Europe." The second: "The high contracting parties declare their desire to unite with Other likeminded State in adopt- ing proposals for common action to preserve peace and resist ag- gression in tfce post-war period." Lease-Lend With U. (I) The signing of a master lease-lend agreement with the United States, which was describ- ed by the United States State De- rtment ai an "additional link the chain of solidarity being ferged by the United Nations in their twofold task of prosecuting th war against aggression to a etMoesstul conclusion and of cre- ating a new and better world." (I) Agreement with both Ameri- can and British leaders ou "the Vigent tasks of or eating a lecond front in Durope in 1942." War Production Program In order to complete the organ- isation needed for the most effec- tive use of the combined resourc- es of the United State and the United Kingdom for the prosecu- tion of the war, there to hereby established a Combined Produc- tion and Resources Board. from the White Houee last week eame these words to harness the gj eat industrial machines of Great Britain and the United States into one fighting team. They came backed by the authority of Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minis- ter Chun-hill. The war produc- tion program of the two nations will not only be made as one but that program will b adjusted to continually meet changing mili- tary requirements. At the same time a Combined Food Board was charged with Insuring ample food lor the fighting men and civilians of all the United Nations. Second Front In Europe Ttie orders meant that Qreat Britain and the United State* are tripping for battles to come. They meant that factories in Sheffield, England, and Detroit. U.S.A., will work together build- ing tanks wlu ii tanks are needed, invasion barges when Invasion (barges are needed, that raw ma- terials will be routed to the plants that can use them fastest, that hells made in Birmingham will fit guns made in Pittsburgh. Some of the plans under consideration are that ships returning from Eug- land would soon be carrying battle scrap for reworking into new guns, that America's aircraft factories may specialize in bomtoere while Britain turns out the fighters. The committee links toRether the war effort of 132.000,000 Amer- icans, 42,000,000 Britons, 11,000,- 000 Canadians, great industrial machines in tiie British Midlands and throughout Canada and the United States. Together they con- trol more than 48 per ct-nt of the world's coal, 41 per cent of the world's Iron ore, 61 per cent of the world's petroleum. Britain's big- gest asset, her empire, spread over almost one-fourth of the world's habitable land, containing 600,- 000,000 people und vast sources of the stuffs of war, Is open to the committee through the connec- tions of its various parts with the mother country. The material of war were being produced, assembled, given into the hands of the troops again Ht the day when the United Nations can grant Russia's request ami open the second front in Kurone.
