Halifax Sees Tasks
After War Eased bv
Trade Cooperation
Tells Junior Boord
Thot British Won't Favor
Cutthroot Competition

British Ambassador Lord Halifax
yesterday told luncheon meeting
Of the Junior Board of Commerce
that there was need in the postwar
world for close partnership of the
large powers and stressed the need
for cooperation between the Brit
ish and American people.
Lord Halifax declared there was
mo solution to be found by follow
ing the path of rigid economic
nationalism,' and warned that the
democratic nations would have a
great responsibility" in the post
war world Ito further and to take
care of the living standards and
contentment of their and other peo-
pies"
Using the phrase good world cit
izen," Lord Halifax spoke of the
need for citizens to reach out and
make national citizenship "a vehicle
of wider service" to the whole of
mankind, upon which, he said, the
future peace and happiness of the
world depends.
Il do not say" he added, that we
can solve all our problems by Coop
Grafton, but there are few that we
cannot solve"
Trade Expansion Possible.
Speaking Of his own people, Lord
Halifax said they did not want to
see cutthroat competition for export
markets, although such markets
were essential to their standard of
living. He predicted that if trade
were handled right and with imag-
ination it was capable of immense
expansion"
There is need and opportunity
for frank and open discussion" the
British Ambassador declared, be-
tween the British and American
Governments and the businessmen
OF both countries. He predicted
thai there would be many differ
ences of opinion between the two
countries, but said that when
added up they are but dust in the
balance" compared with close part
nership OF the big powers.
Lord Halifax said it was one of
! the laws of life" both for indi-
viduals and for nations. that great
power means responsibility. He
listed among the promising point
ers" of the future trend the At
lantlc Charter, mutual aid agree
ments among the United Nations.
renewal of the trade agreements act,
discussions on international none
tary problems and the recent food
conference at Hot Springs, Va.
Cites Axis Mistake"
In presenting the trade difficulties
OF his country during the war, Lord
Halifax said that lease lend had
gone long way toward helping to
solve the British foreign exchange
problem. Following the attack on
Pearl Harbor, which he termed the
biggest mistake" of the Axis, Lord
Halifax said that lease-lend became
no longer one-way traffic"
The Junior Board presented a
War Bond to Cadet Capt. Howard
Surface. jr.. of Company L of West
ern High School as winner in cadet
competitions. James H. Mann. who
served for the past year as chairman
OF the Luncheon Program Com
mittee, introduced Lord Halifax at
the luncheon, held at the Annapolis
Hotel.

Coal, Milk, Clothing
And Power Rationinq
Listed as Possible
OPA Seeks Funds for
Programs Thot Might Be
Necessary Within Year
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Coal, milk, clothing and elec-
tricity head the list of possible
new rationing programs-though
perhaps none may ever come to
life-officials said today.
Speculation on new programs was
heightened by publication of testi-
mony on the ONCE of Price Admin
istration budget, in which funds
were asked against the contingency
Of six more rationing programs that
might be necessary during the fiscal
year starting July l.
Ofiicials said positively, however,
that neither these nor any other
new rationing programs has been
ordered or is expected to be or
dered. OPA's fund request was de-
scribed as a normal budgetary pre-
caution.
Other Remote Possibilities.
Besides milk. 1t was understood, a
few other foods or beverages were
considered remote possibilities. An
other possibility was still embry-
onic plan of controlling restaurant
and other institutional food users
separately from the general food
ration plan in which they are now
included.
The above list was described as
unofficial. and OPA refused to give
even the House Appropriations
Committee any specific information,
claiming that any official statement
on a rationing possibility might
merely cause boarding. buying
sprees or uneconomical use of a
commodity or service, and that the
repercussions might be particularly
embarrassing If it developed that
no rationing was necessary.
The coal strike and transportation
difficulties lie behind the remote
possibility of coal and electricity
rationing. officials said. If either
occurs. it might be on a local rather
than national basis.
Milk Problem Complicated.
The milk problem is complicated
by such things as lease-lend needs
shortage of feed for dairy animals,
lack of manpower and greatly in
creased consumption both by civil
ians and servicemen.
The threat of clothes rationing
was eased considerably recently by
improvement in wool supplies, but
labor shortages are still factor to
be considered.
Two things that officials reiter-
ated are not on the possibility list
are liquors and cigarettes. Oficials
want to avoid handling items that a
portion of the population regards
as non-essential.
Meanwhile. H. A. Gray. deputy
solid fuels administrator, said Fed
eral officials do not know whether
we are going to get" the 800 900 900
tons of coal the Nation needs next
winter.
Mr.. Gray attributed a probable
loss of 25,000, 900 tons of coal produc-
ton to "the disturbances, previous
to the strike, slowing down the
mines," and the coal strike itself. He
told a Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, in testimony published yes
terday, that his Office was working
on a plan of allocating anthracite so
each community will get its share,
and we are trying to avoid the ra-
tioning coupon system If we can"
He agreed with Senator Hayden,
Democrat, Of Arizona that rationing
would be matter for OPA and
would cost the Treasury a lot OF
| money"

Fuel Oil Applicants
To GET 0PA Blanks
By Mail Shortly
Consumers Are Assured
Of Some Allotment us
Allowed Lost Year

Application blanks for renewal Of
fuel oil rations for the coming win
ter will be mailed this month to all
those who used fuel oil last year,
the District ONCE of Price Admin
istration announced today.
The OPA assured consumers that
no one will suffer a cut from last
years allotment unless a reduction
in rations is specifically requested by
the applicant. Persons who have
saved oil from last year will not be
required to report the amount of
fuel they have on hand.
With some minor exceptions, ra-
tioning procedure will follow the
same lines as those used last year
in the District and 80 States. Con-
sumers. however, will not be re-
quired to repeat the process of meas
uring floor area and reporting pre-
vious years consumption. Instead
they will merely fill out the simple
form sent to them by their ration
ing board and return 1t promptly to
the board.
Some May Get More.
Additional rations will be granted
to some persons occupying very
small houses in an effort to reduce
the severe cuts made in last year :,
allotments. Families in which
babies have been born since last
year will be allowed to apply later
in the summer for an additional rs
gallons of oil for the season, unless
they already have been granted this
allowance for other children under
the age of 4. Likewise, additional
rations will be granted to houses
in which there are more adult occu-
pants If additional space Is. to be
| heated.
Wherever consumers want addi-
tional rations, the OPA said. appli-
cations for these additions must be
made later in the summer. Mean
while. these consumers are asked
to file the applications mailed to
them for the same amount of oil
they we're granted last year.
The OPA pointed out that rations
for the coming heating season are
being granted now to enable con-
sumers to fill up their tanks during
the summer months and thus ale
viate the distribution burden on
Evening star., 1943-06-18

the oil companies when the heating
season begins next fall. Persons
who have discovered that the oil
allotted to them last year was more
than adequate have been asked tc
indicate they will accept a reduc-
ton for next season. 1t was empha
sized. however, that no cuts will be
imposed unless asked for.
Shortage Still Exists.
The applications will be mailed tc
the address found on the records
from last season. If the house has
new occupants, application must be
made by the persons now in the
place. but the application also must
carry the name of the person who
applied for rations last year.
The OPA explained that it is
necessary to continue rationing OF
oil because there is not enough oil
to go all around for our fighting
front and our home front without
reducing consumption
Direct military needs" the OPA
stated. "off shore and on shore, have
increased even more than our enor-
nous expansion of pipeline facili-
ties can provide for"
1t was also pointed out that early
registration of fuel oil users will en-
able the Government and the oil
companies to plan for the types and
quantities of oil required in each
area long in advance This informa-
ton was not available last year un-
til well after the heating season be-
gan. Consequently deliveries were
unreliable throughout the season
and it was not until this spring that
most companies were able to ar
range their delivery system on an
efficient basis
Although there will not be an
actual increase in the amount of oil
allotted to the District, the supply
will be steadier next winter as a re-
suit of the new six-inch pipeline
which is now bringing fuel oil di-
rectly into the District from Phila-
delphia refneries. The line is op-
Grated by the Sinclair Refining Co.,
but the facilities will be available to
other companies.

Here Since Year Ago;
23.4% Jump Since 1910

District living costs rose per cent
in contrast with national increase
Of 0.8 per cent, between April Is
and May Is, Secretary of Labor
Perkins estimated today.
The gain in the cost of living here
from that of year ago was re-
ported to be II per cent, compared
with a Nation wide increase of 7.8
per cent. Since June. 1910, the de-
partment reported living costs in
Washington have jumped 234 per
cent.
Greatest increases. in the District
as we'll as in the country as a whole,
were again recorded in food prices.
In the past year the price of food
in Washington has jumped 1871 per
cent; since June, 1910, the increase
has been 46 per cent.
Percentage Increases.
Percentage increases OF individual
foods in the District during the past
month included the following:
Sweet potatoes, 1901; potatoes, 3l4;
onions, 343; lettuce, 298; apples,
67.5; oranges, lo.7; bacon. 70; leg of

Among these were corn flakes,
which dropped 6.s per cent; green
beans, which declined 486 per cent.
and hamburger and veal outlets,
both of which dropped about 6.5 per
cent.
Principal factors in the increase
in miscellaneous items were higher
prices for barber and beauty shop
services, laundry soap. hospital
rooms, toilet paper and prescrip-
tions.
Clothing Costs Decline.
Clothing costs in the District de-
clined 0.2 per cent during the month
and house furnishings OIL per cent.
while costs of fuel, electricity and
ice advanced fractionally.
The Secretary's figures indicated
that the national cost of living on
May IS was 81 per cent above Sep
tember Is. 1912, the level to which
Price Administrator Brown seeks a
''rollback" in prices through subsi-
dies and other measures.
Miss Perkins also pointed out that
price changes have varied widely
from community to community, and
the index showed only a national
average. Thus, she said, national
food prices on May IS we're II per
cent higher than year ago. while
in an unidentified New England city
the increase was "a per cent and in
a certain Southern city there was a
decline of 81 per cent.
