Refreshingly sweet was the Allied Control Council's unanimity on sugar taxation for Germany last week. Treacly sweet was the notation that: "British and American representatives associated themselves with an expression of congratulation by General Koenig to Marshal Sokolovsky on his elevation to the high rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union. Representatives of the U.S., the Soviet Union and Great Britain also congratulated General Koenig on his promotion to the rank of Army General." Such sugar-coating could not hide the fact that the four powers had not agreed where it mattered most: coordinated control of Germany...

Two miles of sign-swinging Princeton men, paced by 32 military bands, wound in & out of the campus to University Field. At their head was orange-bereted Marshal Melville Dickenson, portlier now than when he captained Princeton's undefeated 1922 football team. Round University Field the alumni marched in review-past President Harold Dodds and a handful of pre-1896 Tigers (their joints no longer limber enough for P-rading.) Then everybody sang Old Nassau, and settled down...
