Important developments during th« past few days on the International and American Foreign1 Policy front are the following: (1) The announcement by the President that American troops have been sent to Iceland. k (2) Reports from a reliable source that an American Air Base is being constructed in Northern Ireland. (3) The introduction in Congress of a Presidential approved bill which seeks to remove the restriction on sending draftees overseas, and which seeks authority to keep selectees in the army for , an indefinite time or for the "duration." ' (4) Demands by the British N Premier Churchill that the American Navy be pooled with the British Navy. (6) Implications contained in a recent speech of the Secretary of the Navy that the Navy of the United States would soon be engaged in a shooting Tjfar. <6) The statements of General Sir Archibald P. Wavell and Lieut. General Sir Claude Auchinleck of the British Army that "another American Expeditionary Force will be necessary." These recent developments seem to indicate clearly that, despite the fact that eighty-five per cent of the American people are opposed to the entry of our nation into the war, in the very near future the United States will be an active participant. These recent disclosures indicate, too, that despite the opposition of the American public, the young men of our country will again be sent to die on foreign battlefields.

TN TOUR snap * you ever run trouble? That is, i Jects behind the subject tend to attract more attention than the real center of Interest? This, unfortunately, is true of many amateur snapshots. Too often many camera-hobbyists concentrate all tbeir attention on thi person they are picturing and for£«jt all about what lies beyond. The era, however, with its critical eye, aees all and records everything. There are, In general, two tjri oC backgrounds -- those that plain, and those that form a ci ponent part of the picture, the latter, commonly called "settings,' might be a flower garden, a winding road, or any scene t! add interest or appeal. There should he a relationship between the subject and the setting, and the picture should b > composed with this fiscally, the simpler or more neu- I tral the background, the better the I picture, and If you desire strict neutrality--use the sky. Place your to give enough elevation for a low angle shot. With no confusing ele* its t > distract the attention, all Interest is centered right where you want it In making the lllustrsp tion above, a medium yellow filter, commonly called a "K-2," slipped over the lens, darkening sky, and thereby separating light tones of the subject en the crest of a top of a high rock, or even a It any extraneous objects are behind the subject, eliminate them by either having the subject move, or by changing the position of your camera. Shooting from a higher or lower angle or moving one side may often be all that Is needed to remove unwanted material from the Held of view. Remember that the inclusion or the exclusion of background rial is just about as important as the person in the picture and should receive just as much attention. Pose your subjects against the sky, lawn, or other plain area and notice the in your next snapshots.
