The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMa,or Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-When WP Boss Donald Nelson stood up in press conference and flatly denied there was any conflict between civilians and the Army over war production, he probably did not know that the Army had just issued a most in teresting brochure describing in de- tail the civilian-military conflict over war production.
 Donald Nelson, however, was not the only man who didn't know about it. Simultaneously, Secretary of War Stimson was asked at his press conference whether book let had been issued telling why the Army should run war produc- ton. MT. Stimson denied there was such a booklet.
 Moreover, Major Gen. Alexander Surles, his efficient press chief, leaned over his shoulder and rein- forced that denial. Undoubtedly they did not know about the book let
 Nevertheless it does exist. And it is a carefully prepared docu- ment of 9 pages, giving minute analysis as to why the Army should run war production.
 AS to why the Army should issue such a treatise without the know ledge of Army Press Relations, oI the Secretary of War, or particu- larly Elmer Davis Office of War Information, may require some ex- blaming. Under direct White House ruling, all public statements must clear through Elmer Davis The excuse in this case may be that the Armys booklet is intend ed for limited circulation-though it has found its way into the hands of a limited number of newspaper men.

Puerto Rico Puzzle MaySoon Be Solved;

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-It be- gins to look as if we may at last get the lowdown on Puerto Rico.
 There have been violent rum blings that all is not we'll with our island outpost in the Caribbean The political situation there has been and still is muddle and a mess, with more verbal violence than has taken place in any of cur states or cities for a good many years. Dr. Rexford Guy Tug well, governor of the island, has been called Rex, the Red" the reddish Don Quixote of the New Deal" and worse.
 There have been reports and charges that thousands of Puerto Rican natives are starving; that infant mortality is beyond de- scription;" that ships coming back from the island have been weight ed with ballast when they could have brought sugar; that the food stuffs sent them are things which they can't eat.
 When Tugwell appeared recent ly before the Puerto Rican legis- lature, 27 senators and representa- tives took a walk and left the session in an uproar.
 The situation has finally come to a head and the Senate, on a motion by Sen. Dennis Chavez (New Mexico DemocraD is going to look into the conditions there However, the Senate ordered its committee to confine itself to the food shortage and unemployment only.

some organized movement for our
economic welfare. But, none Of
these far-sighted gentlemen have
offered program, or their SER
vice to the masses Of people. Thus
their ideas have benefited nobody.
Since nothing has been offered
for the economic development Of
Arkansas Negro. am going to
make a suggestion:
Several years ago, about 1909,
the Cooperative Movement was
mentioned to the U. s. by Mr.. FL
line Of Baltimore. Since then the
white man has developed the idea
tao own an operate large coopera
tive enterprises. These enterprises
have created much wealth. employ
mcnt and savings for the poor
class Of whites than ever dreamed
of. They own Coop stores, refin-
cries. banks and other businesses.
The idea is simple and can be
easily put into practical operation.
Any s, Z or Q persons can organize
a coop. However, the first coop
should be Of an educational nature,
as that must proceed coop business.
To it would serve as the parent
body and sponsor local coops.
Discussion Of the type Of pro-
gram to be followed would be the
first consideration. Then from u
mong the group Of members elect
a board Of directors Of 8, S or 7 to
manage the business affairs. From
the beard Of directors elect a
president, vice president, secre-
tary and treasurere. As the men,
beship grows, committees can be
elected.
Now. there are about 482,57S
Negroes in Arkansas. A joining fee
of 25c from one-third of these
people would be about SA,021 ,25.
This could be set aside and used
for educational purposes.
Each member would then pay a
weekly fee Of l0c until SIS has been
paid in, which would be full re-
quirements for fees, This small
fee would produce about S16,0S5
weekly. In twenty four months
with the support Of orr press
schools and churches. a member
ship equal to one third of our
population could be enrolled
The educational coop would or
Iganize small groups in eommuni-
ties to operate the type OF bust
ness needed. The members would
set their fee to be paid into the
local treasury.
Supervision would be provided
by the educational coop to assure
sound operation. Too, loan, equal
to one-third of their assets could
be granted, with a small interest
rate to speer up their operation.
Each local could adopt whatever
plan to pay dividends decided up
on by the members. However, the
} patronage dividend plan seems to
} be the most practical for small
coops. Yet, some use the rev OIL
! wing plan.
The Cooperative Movement Of

"People may do without most
non-essential things Of life and

but man cannot live long or well
without sufficient bread, the staff

make the balcnce diet and build

Hence, there must be more pro-
duction of food il there are more
uses for it. more people to con-

one which will wait on mans time
or convenience. Should the "(no

it would then be too late to plant

the need is urgent.
