Concentrated in the hands of Joseph Stalin is more wartime authority, both political and military, than is wielded by any of his allies-President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill or Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek. As Premier, Defense Commissar and Secretary of the Communist Party, Stalin is shouldered with domestic and international responsibilities which grow with each German step into Russia. Last week Stalin sought someone to share his burdens. As First Deputy Defense Commissar he chose a man who, until two years ago, was an unknown quantity to a non-Russian world: General Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov...
Franklin Roosevelt had let his press conference believe that Willkie was, in effect, going on a Presidential mission (see above}. In his brief case Wendell Willkie will carry letters from Franklin Roosevelt to various officials including Joseph Stalin and Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek. But no one who knew the big lawyer thought he was going only as a Presidential errand boy. Willkie wants to see for himself. So he is going to China, which necessarily means a stop in India, the hottest spot of all. And the U.S. could be assured that Willkie would report to the people as well...
...last interview before returning to his "other home," Nehru told TIME Correspondent Theodore White what he might have explained in a U.S. broadcast.

They hope to see a bloc of Asiatic powers, freed, enlightened and working as partners with the Western powers in the suppression of wars and the rooting out of poverty. In the way of that goal is old-style Western imperialism-and Japan. China has felt the hell of Japanese armies; India may feel it at any moment. But the Chinese fight for their own destiny. Millions of Indians, despite promises...
First reports indicated that General Ma, whose clan holds the power of potentates among China's 15,000,000 Moslems, had submitted to banishment by Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek. Actually the "banishment" was a tribute to the Gissimo's policy of giving Moslem leaders authority with responsibility. For it was General Ma who in 1937-39 dismounted his cavalry and put them to building the Kansu-Sinkiang highway over which Russian supplies traveled to the Chinese army. Now, with Russia embattled and the Burma Road closed, General Ma was again being asked to do the impossible. Nearly cornered, China...
