1t is becoming evident from utter
ances in Congress and elsewhere
that many isolationists are that
way only because President Roose-
welt is not.
1t might not be far from the truth
to state that if our Democratic
chief executive had taken the posi-
ion that the Nazi war was not our
concern, some of the Republicans
in the House and Senate who as
sumo that pose would have demand
ed total aid for Great Britain, and
been as vehement in their criticism
of the administration as they are
now.
The other day the President
wrote letter to Chairman Dough
ton, of the House Ways and Means
Committee, in support of three
and a half billion dollar defense tax
bill, which he insisted must con-
vince the country that national
defense program intended to pro-
tect our democracy is not going to
make the rich richer and the poor
poorer.
Minority spokesman in the House
protested. with much sarcasm and
some invective, that the President
! should have given them definite
suggestions of what taxes should
be imposed.
1t is not hard to remember that
when he sent in the Lend Lease
measure they were equally sarcas-
tic and resentful that he did go into
details, and inveighed against what
they termed making Congress a
rubber stamp" That familiar des,
ignatiOn has been yanked into every
debate since the first year of the
Roosevelt administration whenever
a Democratic majority went along
with legislation the President
recommended.
Concerning Rubber Stamps
Congressman Ham Fish. Of New
York, while the lend lease meas
ure was being discussed, stated
that it was a political scheme t
usurp the powers of Congress ant
the Supreme Court.
Congressman Rich, of Pennsyl
vania. told the House Of Represen
tatives: 81 wonder whether the
President of the United State:
since he has gotten control o
everything, since he can hand the
Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps
and the Air Corps over to Grea
Britain. is going to stay in tht
White House or whether he is go
ing to take up his abode in London
to direct the forces Of the world.

recalls wildly was the burying Of
soldiers in long trenches.

Fish Light On the Budget

Rising food prices continue to be vital news. Everybody eats and most people have to watch their budgets.
 Food purchases are considered so important in the family budget that New York City has q special Bur eau Of Consumers Service under the direction Of Mrs. Frances Foley Cannon as part of the Dept. Of Markets. This service has proven to be the means of saving consumers a great deal Of money by giving valu- able information gathered by its staff.
 The rich sources of fish supply in the waters surrounding the United States provide this country with one of the lowest costing substantial foods 1t has. Yet these resources have never been fully utilized be- cause the fish consumption in the U. s. is the lowest of any major maritime nation. Only l3 pounds of fish per person each year is eaten in this country while in other mari time nations the figure runs as high as 100 pounds of fish per person an- nually, according to The Fishery Council.
 In the first World War, fish was called upon to help in an emergency when Herbert Hoover, then food ad- ministrator, called for Tuesday Fish Day.. Tn the interest of the public, Commissioner William Eel loves Morgan, Jr. of the N. Y. C. Dept. of Markets has been advccat- ing Tuesday Fish Day" to save consumers money on their food pur- chases.
