is safe prediction, however,
that this country will make huge
strides toward winning the war
during the next IL months.
Politically, the potentialities of
the New Year are great. Al
though the elections which are
to be held in 1943 are few and far
between, their results will be
scanned closely for indications
of what may be expected when
the people go to the polls in the
national election of 1914 to Sc
lect a President. Mississippi and
New Jersey will elect Governors.
A considerable number of cities
will hold their municipal cleo
lions. New Jersey has a Demo-
cratic Governor, and Democrats
have held that Office continuous
ly for long time.
Despite the fact that the presi-
Dental nominations will not be
made until midyear 1914, a great
amount of spade work will be
done during the coming year.
The expectation now of many
Republican as well as Democratic
leads is that President Roosevelt
will be nominated to succeed
himself-especially if the war is
still on. The smashing of the
third-term tradition in 1910 has
opened the way to a fourth
term candidacy. President Roose-
welt has given no inkling of his
future political plans. He did not

Well Stocked Comn1issories
Of Army Open to Officers Here
Privilege Of SpeeipI Card Is Limited;
Shelves Still Have Scarce Foods

Several hundred of the Army ON
GERS on duty in the Washington area,
the War Department revealed to-
day, have been given the special
privilege of shopping in the we'll
stocked Commissaries at the War
College and Fort Myer. There they
will find certain scarce articles no
longer on the shelves Of the corner
grocer, such as canned salmon, i'm
ported sardines, stick cinnamon and
baked beans.
This privilege, however, is re-
stricted. A "commissary" card is
sued by the War Department, and
not a uniform, is the ticket OF ad-
mission. And these cards are DIM
cult to get. One officer said it took
two months to move his application
for card from the long waiting
list.
The Army commissaries, it was
said, have in stock nearly every
thing that could be found before
the war in a modern grocery store
beef, ham, bacon and brands of
canned goods with the old familiar
labels. The prices? A chain store
could not match them and stay out
of the red.
The reason. according to the War
Department. is that the Army itself
supplies the commissaries with the
same foods it buys for men in the
camps and on the battlefields, and
it believes in the old adage that a
soldier Lives on his stomach"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1942-12-31

No one is supposed to shop at
commissary except the men and
their families living on the post
which it serves. But the bars were
let down in Washington, it was
said, because the large number of
Army men on duty here have been
draining heavily on civilian sup
plies.
Although the commissaries now
have more Of variety of food
stuffs than the average grocery
store, no attempts, it was pointed
out, have been made to raid" the
stocks of commodities scarce on the
civilian market. The principal rea-
son for this, it was said, is that men
who deal at Army stores know there
always will be an adequate supply
of everything they may need as
long as 1t is available.
Moreover, at the suggestion OF the
War Department, clerks in the COM
missaries have put a rationing pro-
gram into effect on products now
scarce in the civilian world. For
instance, soldier who tries to get
out of an Army store with two
pounds of butter leaves with one
pound. Two cans of salmon is the
limit for any customer, buck private
or general. Coffee and sugar! That
is rationed just like it is for civil
ians.
And the same will be true. the War
Department said, when the Gov
eminent rations civilian supplies Of
canned and frozen goods and dried
fruits. In other words, there will
be coupon or no food.

facilitate in the least his already
difficult task. He is said to have
made the quip that the Germans
were shooting at him with bombs
from the air while the radio sta
tons from America, Akkra and
Brazzaville were shooting across
the air with words.
An insignificant but typical
incident occurred December II
when the story Of the banquet
given at the Japanese Legation
in Helsinki. Finland, in honor
Of Finnish Premier Rangell and
his foreign secretary was broad
cast from the United States.
Besides giving the Finnish
people the inside story of what
had occurred, the broadcaster
added that this news created
wave Of indignation throughout
the United States. The Finnish
government became concerned
about it and ordered it's repre-
sentative in Washington to make
a full report. The report dis
closed that not single American
newspaper or national broad
casting chain had ever mentioned
the matter.
Diplomatic Considerations.
1t appears that the State De-
partment had given the informa-
ton on the reception to the Owl
the day after it occurred, but no
one in the department knew
what the Owl had told the
Firms. There seems to be no
doubt, however, that the State
Department, for diplomatic con-
siderations, was not anxious that
the story should be played up in
America. But had it been con-
suited, the text of the broadcast
would have been different so as
not to give the Firms chance
to say that our short-Wave broad
casts are imaginative"
But even the broadcast in ques-
ton would not have been known
to the State Department had its
attention not been drawn to 1t
by the Finnish officials in WASH
ington, who asked where the re-
ported wave of indignation could
be found.
Other similar situations are
occurring frequently. A board
meets daily with representatives
of the Owl and other inter
ested" departments. Views are
exchanged and various matters
discussed, but on the whole the
representatives of the War, Navy
and State Departments are mere
consultants whose views seldom
prevail.
The fact that no texts Of the
broadcasts are available to the
State Department unless a spe-
cial request is made to the White
House is the greatest fly in the
ointment today 1t Is burden
some for the Secretary of State to
have to continue to ask the ex-
tremely busy executive offices for
information the State Depart
ment should receive automati-
cally.
Therefore, in order to avoid un-
pleasant argument and difficulty,
the establishment of a monitoring
station has been seriously sug-
gested by some officers In the
department.

wood, assisted by his two New
York representatives, James War

well-known newspaperman with
experience abroad. To this
branch is intrusted the delicate
mission of telling the people
abroad in their own language all
about the United States war
effort and conceivably our aims of
world settlement after the war.
Necessarily these broadcasts
contain promises and admonition
to friends, neutrals and enemies.
But the State Department, which
still considers itself as the prin-
cipal foreign policy framing
agency, has no idea what the
broadcasters are saying and fears
that in some instances they are
telling the other countries things
which are not In keeping with
the departments policies.
Unfortunately none of the de-
partment's policy-framers from
Secretary Hull on down can OBJ

organization, was created by an
executive order from the White

partment, wants to know what is
being told to the hundreds of
millions Of people abroad and
asks for copies Of speeches made
by Owl specialists, they are
politely turned down on the
ground that OWL, being re-

cannot permit other Government
departments access to its files.
