For the Record

The Senate last week heard Georgia's Richard Brevard Russell, one of the five globe-girdling Senators, repeat in public what he had told the Senate in private (TIME, Oct. 18). Main news for the galleries :

> "The men who are actually fighting this war are thinking about postwar problems. . . . Any idea that the men are only thinking about the end of the war and getting home would be disabused by a visit to any overseas station."

> "If our nation has a definite policy which extends longer than six months after the conclusion of the war . . . I was unable to find anyone among our officers abroad who could define it."

> "We should be more careful in the distribution of the products of American industry financed by American taxpayers."

> "Not a word of my statement was intended as an attack on Great Britain. . . . I must say, in all candor, that our British allies have become unduly sensitive if an American citizen and Senator cannot discuss the operations and policies of his own government without raising a storm of furor and resentment. . . . Any lasting world peace must have as its keystone a complete understanding between the United States and the British Empire. But this cooperation and understanding cannot be had except upon a basis of equality and frank and fair dealings. . . . Frank discussion will always dissipate the clouds of suspicion."
