PACIFIC BASES:
For Peace Insurance

Victory over Japan in the Pacific
would not solve the problem Of fu-
ture aggression. Some other insur-
ance was needed. And it became
increasingly clear that such insur-
ance must be the acquisition and
maintenance by the United States of
a chain of air and naval bases across
the Pacific.
Immediate steps to implement
this movement were taken when

DEFERRED DRAFTEES
Face Early Summons

AS plans moved forward swiftly
for enIarging the size Of Uncle
Sans fighting forces, selective serv-
ice made public estimates that
1000, 900 single men Of draft age
are now deferred on occupational
grounds. This number would be suf-
ficient to fill more than one-fourth
of the requirements Of the armed
services for the remainder OF the
year if they are physically fit.
That many Of these men would
soon land in the army or navy
was indicated by instructions to To-
cal boards to review deferments
within six months after granting
them and eliminate unnecessary
ones so that their industrial places
could be taken by women or other
men.
OF the draft age deferees, $40, 600
are in class IA which covers &C.
cupants of essential civilian jobs;
$4,000 are in class 2-B covering
those holding essential industrial
jobs; and 100000 are in class &c,

For three years now Mrs.
George Bassett Williams has
been vice chairman of surgical
dressings. in charge of the war
relief stitched dressing produc-
ton for the District Chapter of
the Red Cross. For a year prior
to her being vice chairman she
worked for the same unit, which
meets at Walsh House. When
she first began working in surgi-
cal dressings, she lived in WASH
ington proper, so the transporta-
ton problem wasn't such a great
one, but now that she and her
husband have moved to Arling-
ton, to live, it's a little more
difficult But don't think for
a minute that this interferes
with energetic Mrs. Williams.
Rain or shine, hot or cold, she

those days from 9 to S o'clock.
Mrs. Williams hasn't had a
vacation for three years. She
finds her relaxation working in
her beautiful rose garden in
Virginia. Her hobbies, she says,
are her parakeets and a nightin-
gale and a canary-and the two
champion whippets which she
and her husband adore. With
her husband she has travelled eX-
tensively in Europe, where their
two children (the daughter is
now Mrs. Thomas Covel, and
the son, Robert Williams, is with
American Air Lines were both
educated. The family lived in
Berlin for six years until Hitler
was made chancellor and it be-
came increasingly difficult for
American businessmen to do
business there. In that time,
Mrs. Williams picked up enough
of the German language to get
along. Kitchen German" she
calls it, and in her various other
travels she managed to get a
thorough knowledge of French,
which she speaks we'll. She is a
native Of Illinois and a graduate
Of Smith College, where she took
her masters degree and did a
thesis on history.
Most of all she wants people to
know more about the Red Cross
and to tell the women who still
have some time on their hands
that volunteers are so badly
needed to make these surgical
dressings. These stitched dress
ings are the permanent ones. you
know, that can be used over and
over again. Made of heavier and
better gauze, they are designed
especially for war use Making
surgical dressings may not be one
of the most exciting jobs OF the
war, but it certainly is one of the
most important.

into different factories manufacture
ing war products" he explained.
The committee investigates the
construction Of these defense fac
tories with the idea that they can be

'Fulbright Urges
Junior Leaguers to
Study Politics
BY Frances Lide,

Members of the Junior League of
Washington were urged by the au-
thor of the Fulbright resolution yes
terday to concern themselves with
politics as a means toward supply
ing the leadership necessary to sue
cessful peace efforts.
Representative Fulbright, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas addressed the Or
ganization at its annual fall lunch
con at the Sulgrave Club.
THE more I contemplate the va
rious plans and blueprints for the
creation of an agency to keep the
peace" he declared, "the more I am
convinced that all of these are of
minor importance compared to the
necessity for inducing into the serv-
ice of our Government the best
brains and characters of our
Nation.
Since it is obvious, I believe, that
if any real progress is to be made in
creating an orderly world, this Ma
ton must take the leadership" he
continued, then your duty and the
duty of every citizen in these United
Stats is to provide the proper lead
ership for this Nation.
Interest in Politics Urged.
ITO do this" he asserted, means
that you must concern yourself with
that rather esoteric activity known
as politics. In a democratic coun-
try, it is only through the machin-
cry of politics that good men may
be brought into your Government. u
Representative Fulbright pointed
out that opponents of cooperative
action proclaim that we can't feed
the world, that we can't afford an
International WPA.
But relief and rehabilitation
have little to do with the formula
tion of foreign policy or the crea-
ton of machinery to keep the
peace. 1t is brains and leadership
that We must supply and not merely
gifts of bread and milk and money
and oil.
"As matter of fact, If these saw
age wars can be prevented for a
reasonable length of time, most of
the peoples of the world probably
can work out their own economic
and political salvation"
Warriors Win Plaudits.
In discussing womens RESPONSE
bility in public affairs. the speaker
pointed out that there is a tradi-
tional inclination on the part of
men to pay greater honor to sue
cessful warriors than to the peace
makers or to those who strive for
peace.
Men feel certain excitement
and eXhilaration about war he
explained. Women. however, who
have never benefited by war, who
see their boys slaughtered or their
children starved, do not have this
love of war.
This, among other reasons. is why
the women of this country must
concentrate their efforts upon the
election to Office of men qualified
and determined to substitute law
and order for war as the means
of solving international disputes"
Mr.. Fulbright warned, however
that Government service must be
made attractive in order to attract
capable men. 80 long as We be-
stow our greatest respect and honor
upon the successful industrialist,
scientist and professional man.
those are the careers our bright
young people will follow" he de-
clared
