Argues for Continuing Publicity
Found to Be Useful.
To the Editor OF The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
AS a professional man, I am not di-
rectly involved in the campaign against
Federal Government publicity now be-
ing waged by Senator Tydings and his
associates, but am interested indirectly.
The establishment of OWI-Elmer Davis,
director-certainly ought to result in a
much more discriminating policy than
that apparently being developed in the
Senate.
Publicity can be an efficient and low
cost method of making available to the
public either the fruits of research and
investigation or the problems and actions
of administrative government. Indeed,
if used correctly, publicity by govern
ment-Federal. State or local-should
assist in the democratic process.
I should like to inquire just what it is
that certain Senators wish done. Shall
program agencies, like OPA and the
Social Security Board, formulate their
administrative regulations secretly or in
the open? Shall basic-data agencies,
like the Bureau of Labor Statistics or
the Census Bureau, collect and dissemi-
nate useful information or collect it and
hide it?
Surely. the criticism against publicity
is partially justified. Witness the ex-
treme examples cited in Senator Tydings'
own press release. Nes, apparently
there was press release about the evils
of press releaSesD But it is the un-
necessary and noninformative kind OF
publicity that should be eliminated, not
the kind that tells people what their
Government is doing.
Another thing: The newspaper is not
the only publicity outlet. Many Federal
agencies find that the professional jour-
nails offer the most desirable media for
keeping the key people informed. Prob
ably the critical Senators never thought
about that. l.. B. S.

'Conquerors' Of Egypt

Lord Palmerston more or less COM
monty is remembered as having been
wrong about a number of things. In
a famous speech delivered in 1851 he
referred to the creation of the Suez
Canal in these words: 1T cannot be
made, it shall not be made, it will
not be made; but if it were made
there would be war between France
and England for the possession of
Egypt"
Now, certainly, the opinion thus
expressed was an error of Judgment.
Yet, in fairness, it should be con-
ceded that the expectation of conflict
for control of the short route to India
has been shown to have been in
evitable. PalmerSton, in part at
least, is justified today. 1t simply
happens that Britain's rival in the
struggle is Germany and not another
country.
But Egypt is difficult to conquer.
Persians, AssyrianS, mysterious Hyk-
SOS or shepherd kings, EthiopianS,
Greeks, Alexander the Great and his
Macedonians, julius Caesar, Octavi-
anus, Zenobia of Palmyra, Aurelian,
the second Chosroes, Saracens,
Turks, the first Napoleon-all OF
these and many other forces at
tempted the subsection of the Valley
of the Nile. Some proSpered tempo
rarily. Most were themselves at
tackled by the "beleaguering sands"
The desert had their bones.
So may it be again. Bonaparte
defeated the MamelukeS and occu-
pied both Alexandria and Cairo In
a campaign which lasted only three
weeks. How ephemeral was his per-
formance was demonstrated by the
fact that his soldiers dared not stir
beyond their camps. Hundreds OF
them died Of the heat and thirst.
Additional losses were caused by
epidemic fevers. The native popula-
ton was fanatical in it's attitude
toward the invaders. General Kleber,
Napoleon's lieutenant, was only one
of the "infidels", to be murdered.
Bonaparte himself, quick to realize
the fruitless character of his achieve
ment, quietly abandoned his troops,
August %, 1899. Only very few of
the veterans of his Egyptian adven-
ture ever reached home. Such Of
them as did never ceased to curse
the scene in which they had suffered
@the torments of hell"
OF course, Marshal Erwin Rommel
knows all about Palmerston and
Bonaparte and the rest of those who
have burnt their fingers in the fires

Discusses Problems Of Nursing
In Their Relation to the War.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Medical nursing is one OF the most
important jobs necessary to the phy-
sical we'll being Of mankind; but over
worked nurses cannot do justice to the
noble profession, nor can they prac-
tice nursing with strict observance OF
ALL the rules learned during three years
of rigid training.
Hospital nursing is a complex matter,
a lob which must be carried on day ana
night.
A nurse who. single handed, must
minister to the routine requirements and
special treatments of more than four
bed patients in a morning cannot 40
full Justice to those patients.
Nurses who are assigned to duty on
so-called twilight hours'-ie.. from
pm. to II pm.-should not have to care
for more than 10 patients at the most.
No nurse should ever be left alone with
more than 10 patients at night except
during the midnight supper" period.
Universal group hospital nursing
would 60 long way toward solving the
problem of keeping suthcient nurses for
general duty.
Since the Army and Navy have with
drawn thousands of nurses for war serv-
ice. now is the time to make fair bid"
to the young women Of our country to
fill in the depleted ranks of civilian hos
pital nurses.
The health and well-being Of the
nurse is essential since it is transmitted
to the patient in the form OF efdcient
and cheerful care. The patient recovers
quicker and again becomes strong link
in the chain of what is needed most
today, viz, a Nation of healthy and
morally strong Americans.

Opposes Immediate Statement
OF Plans for Peace.
To the Editor Of tn

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is very important right now for all
the people to have patience. There are
among us and among the populations
of the world minute number of people
whose sympathies for true world de-
mocracy are causing them to demand
that peace aims be stated now.
But to any member Of the United
Nations, an expression of peace goals
Immediately would be premature, If not
harmful to the organization of a true
peace.
The element of surprise is still power
full throughout the world. 1t would be
safer to announce the peace plan after
the war and after statesmen have had
a chance to work 1t out to the satisfac-
ton Of all nations Surprise can be q
powerful instrument for good as well
- for evil FREDERICK q. FROST.

of similar cheese from a newly-arrived freighter. Cheese is a favorite
