Fri, 5 Jan 1945

Overcast, low cloud. Colder E wind.

Window panes.

Col. came out noon & left 4pm.

Gimson gave lecture on Trade Unions & Social Legislation in British Colonies. Finney gave a suitable reply in which he said he hoped that before the year was far spent we should all be back on our jobs. ((Probably J Finnie or A H Finnie.)) My job seems likely to fizzle out.

Hitler’s N.Y. speech very enlightening & it gives us great hope for Germany’s early collapse.
