eSted in joining the fund basic in
formation necessary to give fair
consideration to all groups applying.
In addition to Identifying infor-
nation, according to General Chair

tionnaire incorporates queries on
such matters as length of time or
ganized, names of acting officers
and their governing bodies. Other
matters to be covered include

The war fund also will seek flnan-
cial reports, including information

ing the last year, the amount of
money raised in Washington dur

raising this money, and the appro-
priation to be requested from the
war fund.
Application Simplified.
1--WE are making the method of
application as clear and simple as
possible" Mr.. Flather said, since
our purpose is to include, not ex-
clude, as manyt as possible of the
valid local and national campaigns
for funds.
The requirements listed" he
he added, ARE based on good cam
paigning principles, the co-ordina-
ton of thinking of the Finance Com
mittee, the Admissions Committee
and the Executive Committee Of the
newly organized Community War
Fund; the experience in other cities,
and the original resolution adopted
by the Washington citizens mass
meeting when the war fund was
established"
Herbert L. Willett. jr., executive
director of the fund, said that
questionnaires already are being
mailed to organizations which have
shown interest in the war fund and
will be sent promptly to others
whose officers request them.

has backed more wrong men than anybody in the national picture today Al Smith for nomination and election, and Governor Ritchie for the nomination against Roose- welt, to mention only two)
 In spite of the fact that he has been identified with Wall Street most of his life, he probably fought longer and harder than any one man to take the profit out of war. For 20 years or so, he battled for agricultural reforms and his farm plan, with considerable variations, was the basis for the New Deal agricultural aid program.
 Out of his World War activities as chief of the War Industries Board and later investigations came the M-Day industrial mobili- zation plans which were forerunners of our present conversion to all- out war and incidentally the basis for Nazi war naturalization.
 He has been a vigorous proponent of overall price, rent and wage con- trols and has frequently expressed his dissatisfaction with the half way measures of our present anti imitation program.
