RATIoNING VS.. BOARDING

The sugar stamps or coupons now
promised by Washington will come too
late to nip the hoorders who have made
it necessary for some Americans to go
without sugar lately. The folks who
have been soItine away sugar may
have some Of it left otter the rotioning
plan gets storted. If they have thot
kind Of consciences, they may for q
time enjoy their surplus while neigh
bors get along on their coupons. But if
rotionine is severe they are likely soon
to get no pleasure out Of Boosting Of
boarding. IF it is mild, they will not op-
peer very smart. even to themselves.
For some time Washington esti-
mated that there would be less than q
10 per cent shortage over the year.
Fortune Magazine, in an Illuminating
study of sugar supplies, figures that
Americans will get about IS pounds of
sugar year per person as against q
normal consumption Of 100 pounds.
This would leave more than q pound
and q half per week for every Ameri-
can, if all of it we're available for ro-
tions. But about one-fourth Of the con-
sumption is in the form Of candy, can
ned foods and soft drinks. Hotels and
bakeries oIso take sugar which the
housewife never sees.
The ration most frequently men,
toned for Americans is q pound q
week. This is nearly double the British
ration and no American is likely to
suffer particularly from lack Of sugar.
The ration could be increased by
using more grain instead Of molosses
for making alcohol.
Unofficial rotionine by retailers
foiIed to stop the hoorders. An official
system may be nuisance but it should
be foirer, for it will depend on the
actual number Of persons in q family.
not on how often somebody goes shop
ping Hoorders ore now operating on
some other commodities, and WASH
ineton should profit by the experience
with sugar to get ahead of them. If
there ore real shortages, the Govern
ment should institute rotonne before
talking about Shortages. If supplies
are adequate it should give out con-
vincing figures which will make hoard
ing foolish.

BY JAMES E. HILBERT

NOW that we are considerably
more than on speaking terms
with Red Russia, many Ameri-
cans are seeking a better knowl-
edge of that land which hogs
most of the space in maps of Eu-
rope, is the scene of the most
far-reaching revolution of his
tory and now Is battering at the
armies of Adolf Hitler.
In Outlines of Russian Gull
ture" university of Pennsylva:
MIA Press: So, Paul Miliukov
shapes up clear account of re-
ligion, literature, architecture,
painting and music as practiced
both in the days of the cars and
since the Communists came to
power. The translators did a
good job of rendering the three
thin volumes into readable and
seldom dull English.
Considered by many as the
dean of Russian historians, Mil
iukov was foreign minister in
the Kerensky government. For
that reason, neither hidebound
imperialists nor Marx bound
leftists will agree with all his
conclusions, but few will dis
pute the wide range of his in
formation. For that reason his
work is valuable to those who
want to know something about
the background of Russia.
His history of the church in
Russia stands as particularly sig
Eificant now that the religious
attitude of our Red ally is often
discussed. AS do most historians,
Miliukov agrees that the estab-
lished Orthodox Church of Rus
STA failed in many ways to car
ry out the teachings of Christ
and was often used by the state,
of which il, was an important
part, to keep the people subjus-
gated. But he finds worse the
official attitude of many Com
munist leaders toward religion
that it is "the opiate of the peo-
Pile"
Russian literature to most OF
us remains something by Tolls
toy which Greta Carlo brought
to the screen. but Tolstoy also

As for present-day Russia a:

cars, Miliukov holds, under

more centralized, but still Rus

Of moteriols not being chan

Administration Of priorities
now comes under the divisions
of industry operations Of WPB.
Within the priorities organize

and the requisitioning system
which together have the re-

job, however, is done in the
5O-odd priorities field offices
scattered throughout tn e

and obtain q Geese and desist

have been made to the gov
eminent, fines up to $4,000
and imprisonment up to 10
years may be imposed.
More direct is the issuance
of q priorities IS" order-on
order "suspendino" q COM
pony from dealing in or using
any materials in which it hos
violated q priorities regulation.
To dote. only II suspen-
sion orders have been issued.
One was for violation on brass
and copper, one on cotton
Iinters, three on silk and royon,
one on washing machines and
six on aluminium. The COM
ponies involved in each cose
sold or manufactured mo-
terioIs or products over their
quotas. The action in each
case was simply to prohibit the
firm from dealing in its COM
modify for periods up to six
months.
ALUMINIUM POLICE
The aluminium S-orders
we're all issued as the result
Of q thorough Job Of inventory
policing organized by the pri-
critics section. A hundred or
more inspectors of the Labor
Departments wage and hour
division we're brought into the
old OPM lost October and Civ

Being trained auditors and
business investigators, these
men we're sent out to the hum
dreds of small aluminium foun-
dries throughout the country
and with prepared forms
checked up on observance of
priorities ALLEGATIONS. These
reports we're turned in to the
compliance section, which
then issued it's S-orders oooinst
vioIotors.
Two similar surveys have
been made by Federal Trode
Commissioner examiners Loan
ed to WPB. One checkup COW
ers the 90 primary fobricotors
Of copper, the other some 80
principal iron and steel COM
ponies and some 200 smaller
iron and steel fobricotors. Ac-
tion under these Investigations
has not been completed.
Use Of federal requisition-
ing authority, made possible
under new legislation and
presidential orders Of only
three months ago, hos thus
far been confined to seizure Of
materials held in warehouses
or aboard ship for foreign pur-
chosers. Enormous stocks Of
steel, rubber, copper, tin, steel
roll, hemp, lockwood and other
supplies, including q complete
INT plant, have been taken
for war production under this
drastic cotton.

government for all such Sci

for negotiating q foir price

PArER PATTERNS

One can synpothize with woman
who wrote letter to on editor pro-
TESTING over-use of the word potter"

she compIoind, is q "pottern" of one
sort or another. Everybody everywhere
is busy establishing pottern." You
don't save junk any more - you "es-
tobIish pattern to salvage waste mo-
terioIs." You don't make plan to put
idle hands to work; you Establish q
potten for voluntary labor ossoeIo-
ton"
Various professions and trodes
have long had vocabulary all their
own. Sometimes it is more Of q potter
or joreon than bona fide technical
language, which, Of course, hos its
uses. Some professional social workers
con hardly converse or write without
mentioning "eose-Iood." or under
privileged" or soeioIoeists without
stressine "envronmentoI footors."
Educators have grossly overworked
"orientotion" and "ehoIIenee." The

An up-Stote New York school su-
perintendent has the sense Of hunor

this was an innovation, the hen was
simply hen. BY 1910 this hen was
