MIRACLE ON THE CON-
co. by Ben Lucien Burman
John Day; $175).
Ben Lucien Burman has tenn
porarily forsaken his job of in
terpreting the Mississippi River
people to the world for another
and perhaps more important job
of the same sort. His Miracle
on the Congo is the story of the
Free French in Africa and Asia
Minor, and when the material of
the book was published in vari-
GUS American periodicals, it con-
stituted the first direct report on
the Free French movement by a
man not connected with the
newspaper world. The report
might seem more weighty if it
depended less on writing and
contained more statistics. But
then it would not be as readable,
Mr.. Burman rushed to Brazza-
vile in Africa when France
fell. He wanted to know about
the Free French movement, and
he found his knowledge by liv-
ing with it. His description of
the incredible difficulty of build
ing up an army on that steamy
coast is worth anybody's time.
His trip through the heart of
Africa to the Tchad, and later
through Egypt into Syria, is the
first wartime account of activi-
ties there, and equally worth
reading. And to be just, it must
be said that many of the details
that would build up the story
could scarcely be given in these
days without endangering men
already in peril enough.
There are conclusions, too.
Mr.. Burman had Petain's num-
Der" long before the ancient
soldier made his classic state
ment about walking hand in
hand with Pierre Laval. He
understood the technique by
which Vichy kept a hand on
some of her colonies-it was
simply to remove non-collabora-
tionists, and force the rank and
file to obey new, German-mind-
ed officers. And to allow Ger
many to pour tourists" and
technicians into the colonies
without limit.
Mr.. Burman was convinced
months ago that the Germans
had been given submarine bases
(among other things) on the
west coast of French Africa. He
met and admired the new Law
renee of Arabia, Club Pacha,
and watched "Blubb's Girls in
swift and fierce action-natives
so-called because of the wild
beauty of their uniforms, like
something out of military Zieg-
field FollieS.
And now Mr.. Burman is pas
sionately convinced that if we
do not transfer our sympathies
from Vichy to the Free French,
we shall pay dearly and quickly
for it. France has now moved
south.

ment.
1t has been repeatedly stoted
at FEC that order 70 was never
intended to have any oppIico-
ton TO stations TOW owned by
newspapers - that the order
would apply only to future op-
pIicotions from news popers
wanting radio outlets. A lot of
newspapers now owning rodio
stations fell for this boit.
Whot they hove overlooked,
however, is the Federal Conn.,
municotions oct Of 1884 which
specifically limits q federal ro-
do station license to three
years and provides that oppIi-
cations for the renewal shall
be governed by the same con-
siderotions which effect the
granting Of original licenses.
In other words, you cont in
terpret the law two woys-one
way for newspapers now hold
ing licenses and another way
for newspapers wanting q new
license. And FEC still has the
power to drag out order 10 and
try to enforce it in some not so
sweet bye and bye.

who will argue that the whole ous'-

critics will be second-guessing, SO they
will have plenty Of embarrassing mo-
teroI at their commend.
The Office of Price Administration
says firmly thot sugar stocks on hama
ore not as large as the public believes
that the sugar shipping situation may
not continue as favorable as in the
post few months. OPA, while making
two extra pounds of sugar ovo'oble
between July 10 and Aug. Il, still
maintains that it is not possible to as
sure permanent increases in the week.

The real dispute is between those
who believe sugar will continue COM
ina in at the present Poce--ond there
fore the public should be given tot
ter allowance = and those who tear
shipments may foil off soon, and or
que that stockpile must be built up
to insure against future shortage.
The original decision to ration su-
eor oppeored amply justifioble in view
Of the shipping stuotion ond our need
for moIosses from which to make olco-
hol for munitions.
However, instead Of 300, 900 tons
of sugar for munitions, we found it
necessary to use only 4OO, 600 tons. The
balance came from grain.
At the same time ships returning
from Hawaii we're able to bring back
more sugar than we had expected; and
ships from South America have been

are bullying its warehouses. A New Jer-
sey plant has shut down becouse Of too
much refined and too little raw sugar.
A congressman alleges thot we are
poying seven corporations for not pro-
ducing sugar.
If the government decides to in
