Serves as Adviser
To Convention Committee.
AS Fourth District president, Mrs.
Watt Is serving as general adviser
of the Convention Committee for
the State meeting Of the Virginia
federation to be held May 6-8 at
Wardman Park Hotel.
In addition to these posts she is
chairman of the public welfare de-
partment of the Lyon Village Club
and was recently elected State dele
gate to the triennial session of the
General Federation, May 1926 in
Atlantic City.
Now firm believer in the saying
"In union there is strength" Mrs.
Watt recalled the tinid approach Of
women toward club activities nine
years ago.
"Often you couldn't get any one to
60 as a club delegate to fedora
ton meeting" she declared. Now
every one is anxious to CO."
In the Lyon Village Club there
is an ever-increasing importance
attached to welfare work and Mrs.
Watt has brought a personal inter-
est to her duties as welfare chair
man.
Red Cross knitting and sewing oc-
cupy many hours of members and
in recent months the women have
become interested in making good
cheer bags" for patients at the Blue
Ridge Sanitarium near Charlottes-
vile.
Remnants Are Used
In Good Cheer Bags"
Mrs. Watt cited the bags as an
example of what can be done with
scraps" Neatly made of colorful
cretonne. similar in design to a
fiat, half-sized laundry bag, the
cheer bags utilize remnants of ma
terials contributed to the club by
a local department store. They are
filled with cross word puzzles, pasted
on cardboard, amusing cartoon
strips cut from comic sections of
newspapers. pencil to work the
puzzles and the magazine section
OF a Sunday paper, containing
stories and articles.
The bags are distributed at the
sanitarium to bed patients, who,
because of weight restrictions, are
permitted only to 10 pages of
reading matter. They have proved
popular with the patients as well
as an interesting and inexpensive
diversion for club members, Mrs.
Watt said.
Considerable attention is given by
the welfare department to indi-
vidual cases of INDECENT members
Of the community, Mrs. Watt con-
tinued.
THE cases We care for are those
on relief, not because they can't
find jobs. but because they are in
capacitated physically" she ex-
planned. "Our members take care
of the delivery of surplus supplies
to some who are blind, or unable
to carry supplies to their homes -
she added.
Assisting in procurement of better
housing facilities for large families
on relief is also an activity of her
department, Mrs. Watt said.
In addition to welfare work, she
expressed considerable interest in

Soviets, after a war which lasted
three months, waged against Fin
land by a power SO times her size.
At the time of the war there was
not dry eye in the house.
The drama of Finnish recon-
structio1 is as moving as her
drama of the war, and it deserves
our attention for what it sug-
gests in social organization and
economic cooperation.
Finland still has a representa-
tive government. In a completely
orderly way, she has extended the
idea of cooperative society
further than it has gone anywhere
else on earth.
Now since the war every Fin
nish landowner who possesses
more than certain acreage has
had to relinquish portion of it
for the resettlement of his fellow
Firms from the lost territories. and
every ihfffsh fortune has been
taxed capital levy for the same
cause.
New farms, new homes, new
schools, new communities are be-
ing built by these democratic SPAR
tans who are lifting themselves up
again by theif-own bootstraps.
But they need food, they need
SS,000000 worth of it right now,
from the United States.
]
UNFORTUNATELY, they have
- not $4,000, 600. and seemingly
they have not any credit with us.
Why not? Did America ever have
a better debtor? If they had not
chosen to repay the S110,000,000
which they borrowed from us for
reconstruction after the last war,
they would probably have capital
assets here. But, as we all know.
they did repay. lquidating nearly
the entire amount with interest
before they were attacked by
Russia.
During the war we gave them
a credit of S30,000.0o0 which they
have used up. Another loan would
be repaid if Finland lives, and if
anything lives Finland win. And
there are no military, political,
.strategical or any other difficulties
attached 10 getting food to Fin
land. The British are willing to
grant navicerts Immediately for
Finnish food ships. The Firms have
ships and can carry their own food.
Finland is again an independent
country with her policies dictated
10 hers By no one. There are no
armies Of occupation in Finland.
Why not help her in peace as we
we're willing 10 encourage her in
war,

facing famine. that is asking
American food credits and that
does not present any political
problems. The British are willing
to cooperate. That is Finland,
our yesterdays hero. WHO is ap-
parently this years stepchild, and
one is inclined to ask: What price
valor. and what price fortitude,
and what price simple honesty?

l. HooVer's followers are devoting
a lot Of attention 10 the Sufferings
caused by the British blockade,
but are saying nothing at all on
the CONFERENCE.-The which is, of
course. as much Of this war as the
blockade BY the British.
Hitler is not oppose d 70 the
blockade as a weapon. He IS using
IL lust rs effectively as he possibly
can. And some advocates of Mr..
Hoover's plan wish 10 ioin in the
blockade of Britain by withdraw
ing all aid TO her.
Nor is any protest made by the
committee & ain 81 any OF the
measures taken by the Germans.
For instance. not a word IS said
about the fact that months after
an arInistice had been signed the
Nazis are still keeping two million
French soldiers in prison.
One reason for the growing food
shortage in France is the fact Of
these two million prisoners. A
large proportion of them are peas

A S THIS column has said before,
N the matter of feeding terri
tories occupied by Hitler is a mat
ter of major political policy This
country is committed since the
passage of the lend-lease bill to
helping Britain win the war. This
policy cannot be crossed by groups
Of private citizens.
Whatever we do must be decided
by the American government.
Henry Luce. who advocates feed
ing the occupied countries, sug-
gests in this weeks Life that the
effort should be undertaken by.
the government and he sets forth
seven conditions for feeding unoc-
cupied France, all of which seem
eTninently reasonable. The fact
that he considers II quite impor-
tant to attach such conditions is
significant
II should not escape attention
that many of those who are
strongly supporting the Hoover
feeding plan are men who are
openly hostile to the whole Ameri-
can foreign policy and are still
trying to circumvent it.
If there is anything that is GER
tain about how one should behave
in a very dangerous world, il is
that one should not have two or
three different policies pursued by
two or three different groups. for
two or three quite different aims.
