LTERE is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every
—1 day. It is a numerical puzzle designed to spell out your fortune.
Count the letters in your first name. If the number of letters is 6 or
more, subtract 4. If the number is less than 6, add 3. The result is
your key number. Start at the upper left-hand corner of the rec-
tangle and check every one of your key numbers, left to right. Then
read the message the letters under the checked figures give you.

WASHINGTON— (NEA)—Now that the Berlin meeting of the
" Big Four Foreign Ministers is under way after months of .
note swapping and negotiation, there is considerable concern ver
how the conference can be brought to an end.
I That may sound like a contradiction, but it isn’t. How to end
lany diplomatic, meeting where the participants' aren’t in complete
agreement, or when they haven’t settled anything, is always a
problem. Nobody wants to take the responsibility for ending a
peace conference.
It is recalled that at one of the wartime conferences, when
America, Britain, China and Russia constituted the Big Four, the
foreign ministers sat around for two days, doing nothing, because
no one would take responsibility for a motion to adjourn. Finally
the Americans and British ganged up on the Chinese and told
their delegation they would have to end it on .the day when it was
China’s turn to hold the rotating chairmanship.
There was another unhappy ending to the Foreign Ministers*
meeting in London in 1947. Gen. George Marshall was U. S.
Secretary of State then, and after three weeks of meeting without
accomplishment, he took the responsibility for. ending the thing
1 abruptly.
( NEXT day, when the American delegation was preparing to leave
its hotel for the London airport to fly back to America, Rus-*
sian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov called up to say that he had.
I just heard from Moscow. The Kremlin didn’t like the communique.
Stalin wanted the conference reconvened to change it. Molotov
I begged. Secretary Marshall refused to have any part of it. .
• Marshall blasted the Russians for refusing to come to terms on
an Austrian peace treaty, German boundaries and reparations.
I Molotov was heard to say, “This is awful.” It has been awful ever
since.
b All four of the foreign ministers at Berlin are old-timers at this
business. U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles attended
fou of the postwar Council of Foreign Ministers’ meetings as an
adviser to his predecessors. Anthony Eden was Churchill’s Foreign
‘Office head all through the war and since the Conservatives’ re-
turn to political power. Georges Bidault of France was foreign
mninister during the resistance days and in several postwar cabinets.
AS a matter of fact, Foreign Minister Bidault was the center of
interest at the 1947 CFM meeting in Moscow. The French
were doing a big job of wooing the Russians then. Bidault had
hiS arm around Molotov’s shoulders all the time at the start of this
session.
Everything went lovely for France until the question of the Saar
came up. France insisted that she have political and economic
control over this important industrial basin. But Molotov resisted
France here, hoping perhaps to get Russian reparations out of it. ।
‘Somehow, Molotov managed to insult Bidault, and infuriated,
the Frenchman almost broke up the conference. He was persuaded
to stick it out only by Marshall and Bevin.
► Personalities and trivialities of this kind play an important part
inthese, conferences, to a degree not generally known. Today,
Bidault is considered a much more mature statesman, and less of
a politician than he was seven years ago. But in one sense, the
Berlin conference is a repetition of that 1947 Moscow affair.

Any farmer or soil conservationist
