Curb Profiteers
Urges Check Of Wholesale
Prices Against Advertised
RetoiI Quototions

To prevent war proflteering, Mrs.
Franklin d. Roosevelt proposes in
the current issue of The Democratic
Digest that consumers boycott
articles for which the retail price is
"unreasonably" higher than the
wholesale price.
She advises consumers to check
wholesale prices and advertised re-
tail prices in their newspapers. If
unreasonable" differences are OBJ
served, she suggests that urban
housewives report the matter to the
Bureau Of Farms and Markets and
that rural community housewives
report to their county agents.
The Presidents wife recommends
also that housewives aid consumer
co-operatives In educational pro-
grams to reach women buyers
through newspapers and radio
broadcssts.

Differences Of opinion cut across
party lines. Mrs. Roosevelt contends,
and these differences should be
argued out in the open until a de-
cision has been reached which will
represent majority opinion In the
Country.
The best way that citizens can
help keep the United States out of
the war, Mrs Roosevelt asserts, is
to refuse to accept any informa ton

Means Of RAISING
$4,000 Episcopal
Budget Considered
Bishop Freemon and
Others Address MEETING
At Epiphany Church

The clergy and lay leaders of the
Washington diocese of the Episco-
pal Church today planned how best
to raise combined budget of $70,-
600 for local national and foreign
church work, with words of exhorta-
ton >from their bishop and other
church leaders, heard last night,
as their inspiration
The words came at a special mass
meeting called by the Right Rev.
James E Freeman. Bishop of Wash
ington, and held at Epiphany
Church.
Because of the current war. which
carries a threat to modern civiliza-
ton far greater than that carried
in 1918" the Episcopal Church must
redouble it's efforts to support Its
sector in dealing with the forces
of evil in the missionary way"
It was Bishop Freeman who en-
phasizea before at least 300 mem
bers of the diocesan clergy and
laity that the present state of world
affairs carries the worst threat yet
to what man holds good and worth
while.
Outlines Approach.
Bishop Freeman exhorted war;
dens, vestrymen. chairmen of the
Every Member Canvass, treasurers
and clergymen to bring to bear on
their fellow church-goers spiritual
arguments in favor of increased
financial support for missionary
work both at nome and abroad
rather than simply give begging
sermons"
In the opening speech of the eve
ming, the Rev Charles w. Sheerin,
vice president of the National
Council. presented reasons for pro-
viding the wherewithall to deal
with evil in the missionary way.
There are two ways of dealing
with evil, he said-one, to use force,
or to so influence evil and any
and all treading the paths of evil
that good is the eventual result
History has proved that this is the
only lasting way of besting evil
Force has failed repeatedly, he said
Appeals to Businessmen.
las practical businessmen you
need the church and the church
needs you,' DR.. Sheerin told his
audience You have built up such
efficiency and organization only to
find today that the trade routes are
shut through mems hatred and the
relationships upon which honest
businessmen can survive are dead
in war. You need purpose and the
challenge of Gods spirit to make a
meaning for your trade. The
church needs you, for it, too, is en-
gagged in the greatest of business
and this business must be organ
lied and useful. Come to Gods
business" he said.
The Rev. Clyde Brown, diocesan
missioner, outlined the various
phases of the work which is being
undertaken by the Washington
Diocese, all of which, he said, have
direct bearing on the troubles
which afiict the world today.
Bishop Freeman said that the
Washington diocese is one of the
most influential in the country and
is capable of exerting q telling in
f1uence on world affairs as well as
local problems.

Auxiliary of Argo Lodge of B'nai
Birth at the Willard Hotel yester-
day, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
said America can be kept out Of
war by preserving its democracy, and
she urged tolerance as the means to
that end.
Mrs Roosevelt said We must first
examine our democracy Ito see If it
Is a real one" and then correct the
causes bringing about certain re-
suits in other places" Referring to
the war in Europe, she added that
nothing of that kind should ever
happen here"

short talk followed a speech by

tional president,
Urges Banishing Of Fear.
Mrs. Roosevelt warned that there
are many in this country to whom
democracy means nothing and laid
the blame to lack of a broad point
of view and understanding and the
presence among them of fear.
I'VE must keep fear out of our
country" she said, and we can do
it by watching out for the rights of
all the people"
1t would be democracy's duty
when peace was restored to "have
something really good to offer" she
added.
Mr.. Monsky had previously
pledged B'nai Birth to the cause of
peace in America and declared it's

"isms" in order to preserve democ-
