The article presents information on various political developments around the world. A more or less unadulterated version of the Ruml plan has been voted by the U.S. Senate and may well have receive the endorsement of the U.S. House soon. But the bill will still need the President's signature, and in a letter U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt has hinted strongly that this veto power will be exercised. Roosevelt makes it clear that he favors the withholding section of the bill, which provides for a much-needed improvement in the mechanism of tax collection. British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill's latest journey to Washington on the heels of the spectacular Tunisian victory has occasioned a welter of speculation regarding the possibilities of major offensive action in the Far East.
