This article focuses on political and economic issues affecting the world. The spreading strike of the U.S. construction workers on War Progress Administration projects against the cut in their hourly wage rates is the logical culmination of an unrealistic relief policy. The strike may be doomed to failure or the U.S. Congress may see fit to restore the prevailing wage provision in the relief law. But in neither case will the basic difficulty be eliminated. As the Anglo-Russian conversations drag on and a waiting world is kept in uneasy suspense by unusually laconic governments, rumors run wild. These negotiations were started when Great Britain realized after the occupation of Czechoslovakia that Nazism is the streamlined rebirth of German imperialism.
