Feed France,
Bullitt Urges
Press Women
Ex-Envoy Predicts
French Nation
Will Rise Again

Former Ambassador William c.
Bullitt asserted yesterday that it
would be playing into the hands of
the Germans" for the British to re-
fuse to allow food to be sent into
unoccupied France.
Declaring that 95 per cent of the
French want Great Britain to win
the war, he said the only thing that
could change that desire would be
starvation. 1t would be utter folly"
not to realize this, he commended.
The former Ambassador to France,
who addressed a luncheon meeting
of the Women'S National Press Club,
said he believed it was unreasonable
to argue that food sent to the
occupied regions would not be to the
advantage of the German Army. For
supplies to be sent to the occupied
region would mean that an equiv
alent amount would be taken out
by the Germans, he said
The line of demarcation between
occupied and unoccupied France is
a genuine line, however, he declared,
and expressed the belief that food
shipments to the unoccupied region
could be distributed under the con-
troll of some American organization.
Mr.. Bullitt said he believed that
shipments of medicines, milk and
essentials by the American Red
Cross, which were the first need,
should be increased enormously.
The need now is for bread, he as
serted, and he urged the shipment of
wheat.
Asked specifically if he favored
the Hoover plan for feeding Europe,
Mr.. Bullitt answered no"
Mr.. Bullitt declared that the char
Hcter of the French people. whom he
described as deeply civilized had
not changed since I'VE were all ad-
miring them so intensely last April
and May"
Their attitude. he continued, is
the absolute antithesis of the Nazis.
The former Ambassador also pre-
dicted that the essential French
character would come out again and
that the country would again
emerge as a strong nation devoted
to freedom.
Pointing out that the Vichy gov
eminent is obviously under tremen-
dous pressure, he continued to
champion Marshal Petain as an
honorable gentleman doing his best
for France"
He expressed the belief that Wey-
gand is working in close cooperation
with Petain and would set up an
independent government in Africa
should the Germans walk into I'M
occupied France.
Mrs. Helen ESsary, the club presi-
dent, presided at the luncheon,
which was held at the Willard Ho-
tel.

DEFENSE WORKERS
HEALTH PROGRAM
Estimated Cost of New
Projects Announced at
$7,1S1,356

Uncle Sam is going ahead rapid
ly on the job of helping those COM
munities whose normal facilities
have been Overtaxed by defense ac-
tivities. The program is being
carried out by the Federal Works
Agency.
Administrator John M. Carmody
announced that President Roosevelt
has approved 27 more such projects
to help protect the health, safety
and welfare of defense workers.
The total estimated cost of the
new projects is $7,1S1,356.
The projects include water sup
ply systems, sewage systems,
school buildings, hospital additions
and health centers and recreation
fields and buildings. In explaining
the purpose of this program Ad,
ministrator Carmody said:
"Since there have been indica-
tions that some communities hope
to obtain funds under this program
for public works and services
which are not related to the ma
tional defense, or, at best, only re-
motely related, | want to reiterate
that this is a defense program and
not a general improvement pro-
gram. There is no place in it for
fringe projects No project will
be approved for which national de-
fense need has not been clearly es-
tablished
"It is not the purpose of this
program to help communities to
meet their normal needs, but to
assist them in meeting extraordin-
ary demands upon them in conse-
quence of the defense effort. Lo-
cal communities must be ready to
do their part, in cooperation with
the Federal Government, to meas
ure up to the situation. The de-
fense program is a national pro-
gram that requires participation
on the part of every citizen and of
every local official of every COM
munity.''

". No Need of the Sun-the Glory

The great need of man in this
world is light. He rejoices in the
sun as it sheds its lifegiving rays
upon the earth. He does his work
and finds his healthful recreation in
the day. When darkness comes, he
must have illumination, that he may
read. study, work, or fellowship with
others. From the flickering pine
knot man went on to the candle, to
the lamp; and now in most places.
he floods his city and its homes
with the light of electricity. But
even so there is too much darkness
in the world, and the men who love
darkness rather than light (see John
3:19) are able to practice their evil
deeds.

all their glory to the One who is
