can afford to be fairly indifferent
toward our "expediencies" in North

This was the recent observation of veteran engineer

World War ii with production of increasing number OF
precision instruments for United Nations aircraft.

The local manufacturer ripped apart and reorganzed

100000 worth of machine tools moved in for the
new job.
&Now the automatic pilot is being produced at a cost
far below the previous price and the monthly output rate
is well into three figures.
Many of the parts and subassembies of these auto
matte pilots have oerances ranging from 003 to 0003 Of
an inch, while other parts allow for deviation from
absolute perfection!
An auomotive engineer recently described these fine
limits this way:
Take average human hair and slice 1t length
wise into 15 strands. One Of these Is strands would
about equal the amount of backlash allowed as the
tolerance between the sector and wheel on the
motor bracket assembly of this fine instrument.
"Paradoxicaly, in this particular part the demand
for minimum of backash is coupled with demand for
the maximum of freedom To attain such perfection we
have had to find operators who have both extraordinary
patience and an almost superhuman of touch"

China and the United States
were not included in the Leith-
Ross Committee, and any set-up
which counts out those two
countries simply won't count.
Also Leith-Ross Commit
tee has no authority to do
anything about production
of food or relief and reha-
bilitation-it merely collects sta
tistics on the need.
1t is in the execution Of any
United Nations program for
world relief and rehabilitation
that political danger lies. The
refugee governments seated in
London represent only people
who got out of Europe ahead of
the Nazis. 1t is entirely possible
that the people who had to stay
home and take it will have
something to say about their
government when this war is
over, and the refugee govern
ments may or may not in every
case be the ruling faction.
If, however, the food, the re-
lief and the rehabilitation of the
United States, or the United Ma
tons are dished out through
these refugee governments, their
mere action in disbursing relief
from outside sources will give
them power to save their own
interests.
The question is whether to in
sist that all American relief and
rehabilitation be ladled out by
American field service men in
postwar Europe where they
may have a voice in shaping the
future of those countries or whe-
Their this problem can be hand
led by international relief agen-
cies-- the first step, perhaps,
toward the creation of an inter-
national police force which
might maintain order in this
postwar world. Let the isola-
tionists chew on that one for j
while.

Background for stardom: In
Hollywood a few days ago a girl
mailed letter. A letter to some
one she doesn't even know, in
viting him TO be her personal
guest at the greatest event of her
marquee studded career.
The story starts years ago in
a homely community Of indus
trial Philadelphia when an g.
year-old, golden-haired little girl
made friends with a gracious
old man down the block. The
little old man owned a rare trea-
sure those days, a Victrola.
For many hours the girl and
the old man would sit and listen
to his wonderful records. And It
was to him she would confide
her aspirations to sing.
From her tiny footstool beside
the Victrola, the little girl would
rise to the magnificence of a
dramatic opera star.
"Some day you will sing in
opera for the Metropolitan" he
told her.
The girl, excited, answered.:
"And you will be there to ap-
plaud me-"
Well, that little golden-haired
8-year-old grew up to become
one of the worlds most renown-

feeding Eu,Dpe after this war is
a job for the United Nations as
a whole.
Although the United States
has set up an ambitious organi-
zation to distribute food in its
Office of Foreign Relief and Re-
Mobilization under ex-Gov. Her.
bert II. Lehman of New York,
the job of producing all this food
will require the combined re-
sources of all nations on earth,
and it is TO marshal these re-
sources that the Roosevelt ex-
ploratory conference will pre-
sumably be called.
First steps toward the forma-
ton of a United Nations relief
and rehabilitation distribution
program have already been taxi
en- through the u. S. Department

Before the United States got
into the war, the British and

overrun by the Nazis formed in
London an Inter-Allied Bureau
on Post War Requirements. Its
chairman is Sir Frederick Leith-
Ross and the organization has
become known as the Leith-Ross

President Roosevelt's indica-
ton that an exploratory United
Nations conference on postwar
food supplies might be held
some time this Spring points up
consideration of how this critical
problem of feeding Europe is to
he handled this time.
Relief for Europe cost the
United States S2.3 billion after
the last war. The $500 million
was private funds-Red Cross,
Quakers, Near East Relief and
the like. The So billion was gov
eminent money, and the u. s.
contribution represented APP
proximately IS per cent of all
the relief handed out, the re-
naming Is per cent coming from
Great Britain and other coun-
tries.
Theoretically, this So billion
worth of food relief was sold.
The x-enemy countries had to
pay cash and did buy about $500
million worth of surplus Amer
lean wheat for which farmers
had been paid So bushel by act
of Congress.
Liberated countries and the
allied nations that needed relief
got food on credit and that added
about STA billion to the war
debts which were never collect
ed, so in the long run that post
war relief was pretty much of a
gift.
