©. WASHINGTON, June 14.—Rumors that Great Britain might make peace shortly appears to be com‘pletely answered now insofar as any public pledge can answer then. x A pledge to fight until victory is achieved was od ~ adopted in London this week on i behalf of the British Government, the Dominions, and exiled leaders of the occupied countries of the continent. This declaration seems quite ¢ complete. - It states that there can © be no lasting peace so long as free peoples are coerced by Germany or so long as they are under threat of such coercion. That last phrase pears to shut out all possibility of a negotiated peace on Hitler's terms, because any such peace 2 . would leave Britain and other _ peoples under threat of German might. At least three purposes are served by this declaration. It wards off in advance the impact upon the English People of any possible Axis peace offer. It gives hope : Yo the occupied peoples that if the fight can be pro- . longed they may recover their freedom. It reassures the United States, now in the midst of a most exten- . 6ive'aid program, that Britain is not preparing to quit. All of this only reinforces the position of Churchill, which is to continue the war in face of whatever

' Teverses may come, so long as there is anything \with Which ‘to fight. : : 8

i WPeace Far Away

The meaning of this to the United States is that the war is likely to go on indefinitely. It means that the utmost production of which we are capable will be needed on the other side. Of that we may be certain, regardless of whether we are to play any part in the-active fighting. All preparations here are for a long continuation of war and a long continuation of our war-production program. ws Most officials here are confident: that if Britain can hold St youn the summer,. our production will really begin count. The speed-up of that is - now thé main job. It needs all the prodding and goading that can be laid on it.

It is not disparaging the gigantic amount of work already done to emphasize the need of more speed. American industry has done wonders. Yet the May airplane figures showed a drop of 55 planes below the April output. The long Memorial Day weeksend had something to do with that. Perhaps shortages of materials had something to do with it also, Yet plants are being built ‘which, once in’ production, will turn out planes at a rate which our experts believe will exceed anything Germany has heen. akle’ to do.

means a most drastic readjustment of our daily life. Donald Nelson, Director of Procurement for OPM, is advocating that we double the present defense outlay. He has President Roosevelt's approval for a. program under which industry would curtail many varieties of sonsumer goods, such as blankets and radio sets, and concentrate ‘on a few standard types. When Mr. Nelson talks of an 80-billion-dollar defense program, he is saying in effect that the country must go almost completely into a war-production economy. How will it end? It is almost futile to try to think about that. We are creating an enormous industry, with vastly enlarged communities completely dependent upon defense activity. A vested interest in continuation ‘of this: work has developed. To stop it would be to throw the country into fhe deepest economic difficulty. We are now ‘in e same position that other countries are in. No solution for unemployment has yet been found except war or preparation for war. France is worse off under peace than Britain is at war. There may be no peace in the old sense, with a formal conference and everybody shaking hands and] going back to the plow. The war might even rage intermittently for years, with slow attrition deciding, and all major powers remaining under war conditions indefinitely.

At any rate, it seems more in keeping with the circumstances. to think in those terms than to expect that by some miraculous stroke the dove of peace will flutter down to restore a world that has been smashed beyond restoration to the shape it once knew. 4

Inside Indianapolis And “Our Town”)

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Caroline McMath Goodwin, tireless civic leader, capable legislative lobbyist, busy housewife and one of the few women in Indianapolis with an M. D. degree. One of the most active women in town, she has just retired from the presidency’ of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters, and now heads its personnel committee. Besides the League, she’s a member of enough other organizations to kéep her busy every moment of every day. Among them are the Maternal Health League, the The- - tas and the Second Presbyterian Church, and even a sewing club. "About 40, she is 5 feet 5 inches tall, and ‘doesn’t worry about her figure. She doesn’t have to—eats what she wants without taking on : too much weight. Her dark brown hair is graying. She never bothers with a permanent. Her cheeks are pink, her eyes friendly and intelligent. When. she smiles, which is often, her eyes seem to dance. She frequently wears sport clothing, and wears it with an air. i hay - * Born in Indianapolis, she was in the first class to graduate after four full years at Tech. She was graduated in medicine at Indiana University in the early Twenties and did her interneship at Boston Women’s Hospital. Then, before she had time to hang out her shingle, she married John K. Goodwin, now president of the Indiana Veneer & Lumber Co., and gave up her medical career. They have three children, a son, 15, and daughters, 13 and 11.

You Can't Unnerve Her

CAROLINE GOODWIN is an all-round good scout. People find it fun to be around her; everyone has a good time at her home. She seems to radiate health and energy. Her sincerity and lack of pretense or affection are among her outstanding characteristics. She never worries about anything, d apparently nothing upsets her, not even her own and the neighbors’ children holding a skating party on her front porch, or her yellow pup, Daisy, chewing up her favorite hat. : : * ‘Not long ago she was entertaining about a dozen

week-end guests at her home in Golden Hills. Someone phoned her of a minor crisis in" League affairs.

She slipped out the back way, drove downtown and |

had the crisis solved and was back home almost before the guests were aware of her absence. She thinks nothing of winding up a board meeting at 12, and dashing home to entertain maybe 30 women at lunch. One of the. secrets, of course, is that she has been able to keep the same cook, Ozzie; for the last 13 years.. As a result, things run like clockwork around the Goodwin home. : Mrs. Goodwin’s principal hobby right now, aside from her family and civi¢ work, is early Indiana history. She became interested in the subject a few years ago and now she has a splendid histerical library, with some rare volumes in it. She likes to browse through second-hand boukstores looking for historical treasures. She reads voluminously, quite often while lying in bed. The walls of her bedroom are lined with bookshelves. -

Handy With the Scissors

SHE GOES TO 'THE movies often, mostly to* take the children; seldom misses a symphony concert, and { is an enthusiastic. baseball -fan. On the radio, she particularly enjoyssthe problems of the Aldrich Family. The Goodwin's have a badminton court in the back yard and she enjoys playing with the children. She is a good swimmer and she used to play a good

gathe of tennis. She is an exceptionally good bridge|

player. : She’s: continually clipping things out of magazines and newspapers, and has filled numerous scrapbooks on such subjects as history, civic affairs, and even on Legislative goings-on. The latter come in handy in her work as: a lobbyist for the League. She makes a good presiding officer—insists on freedom of speech, but makes the speakers stay on the subject at hand. As a speaker, she’s rather informal, and her meetings always are informal and intimate. She drives a car a lot and is a pretty good driver. Her friends describe her as extremely careful. Probably the only criticism ever heard of her driving comes from her children. Their complaint is that she doesn’t drive. fast enough. = And -her-idea of a good meal is steak and all the trimmings—topped off with strawberry shortcake. Oh, Doctor! :

License Sales Up

There are two licenses issued to Hoosiers—the combination license that is good for fishing. hunting and trapping during the year, issued at a fee of $1.50, and the special license for women; good for fishing only during the year, is issued at a fee of 50 cents. According to local sporting goods * stores where licenses can be purchased (as well as county clerk offices) the sale of licenses and equipment is slightly better than it was last year. As in every June when fishin’ time rolls ‘round, store windows and counters have broken out in a rash of bottled baits, colored plugs. and exquisite little flys, ‘hand tied to suit the most particular trout. It has never been determined . just how much each angler spends on equipment each year, but it is a long standing . fishermen'’s

custom to buy at least one or two

new gadgets every season. Most fishermen, when asked how much each fish they catch has cost’ them in the price of equipment, are prompted to dismiss the matter, with a casual “Oh not much.” Dealers, however, think

that for each fish caught the .

angler has spent “about 75 cents or so.” ; Indiana is sometimes thought . of as a state without many lakes. A study of the Conservation Department’s list of fishing spots soon dispels any such slander— they list 10 lakes ‘in Marion County alone. Here they are: . Blue Water, Capitol City, Gray, Indian, Kernel, Raymond, Shannom, Shore, West, and West Side akes. :

Shannon Lake, according to:

. the Department,. is one mile west

of Glenns Valley, is 10 acres large, 6 to 8 feet deep and has a mud bottom. Cottages line its shores, boats are available, camping is allowed and it is well stocked with largemouth bass, rock bass, bluegills and crappies.
