time in the near future.
Four other actions will be taken
soon to support shoe rationing and
assure civilians of adequate foot
wear:
l. WPB will issue an order
eliminating wasteful shoe practices
unnecessary styles and colors. On
The prohibited list will be formal
evening slippers, mems patent
leather shoes, hard-soled slippers,
mems s;ndali and many sport
shoes. That order will make posi-
bic the production of an esti-
mated 100000 additional pairs
Of essential shoes.
2. WPB will prohibit manufac-
turers from increasing production
OF higher priced shoes at the eX-
pense of low and medium priced
lines. That will protect persons
with low incomes.
3. WPB and OPA will ask man

1929. However, hardships may face
families with two or more growing
children who wear out more than
three pairs of shoes a year.
Byrnes announced that in 1912
Americans bought more shoes than
ever before 450,000,000 pairs. That
reflected the fact that civilians had
more money to spend than ever
before and also probably reflected
considerable boarding by persons
who suspected that shoe rationing
was on the horizon. At a recent
shoe sale in Washington, women
waited for hours in q line that -
tended half the length of the
block.
Byrnes said that rationing was
ordered by the war production

at the school here, the pupils have had
the wool pulled over their eyes, for the
Army instructors have been strictly OBJ
jective in their discussion of political,
economic or philosophic theories and
have stuck pretty closely to their knit
ting in military problems. And it would
be rather difficult to persuade the busi-
nessmen that it was to their advantage
for the Army to take away their own
bread and butter.
There have already been some tangi-
bic, and perhaps unexpected, results Of
turer became intensely interested in
packing Army rations, and went back
to his Office after graduating from the
school and devised new packaged ra-
ton. In the present class it was inter-
esting to note that the discussion of
night problem revealed the presence in
the classroom of the man who is manu-
featuring flares to be dropped by para
chute from planes, and sitting in the
same room was the man who is manu-
featuring the parachutes. Neither had
ever met or heard of the other and
when last seen they were busily engaged
in a discussion of their respective sides
of the picture, with new idea Of the
conditions under which their products
are being used in the field. And the
Army, of course, is developing the nu-
cleus of a group of citizens who may,
some day, form an organization with
objectives comparable to those of the
Navy League, in keeping alive interest
in the Nations fighting machine Evil
dence of this possible development has
been noted in the "class reunions" held
in at least one city, with plans afoot for
others.
Among the pupils themselves, there
are two schools Of thought on the end
results of the course. One maintains
that the graduates will represent the
ultimate in the field of armchair STRAIT
egy, that their ensuing lectures before
luncheon clubs and other groups will be
masterpieces of strategic and tactical
analysis of the current situation, ade-

Mr.. Smith rises again. He looks hurt
I'VE didn't think 1t would be necessary
to include the grease" Mr.. Smith ex-
plains. I, that is we, thought the We
hicles had been creased"
The five students who share Mr.
Smiths apartment and his homework
regard him with approval. The in
structor grants that the failure to include
the grease was not inexcusable. Mr.
Smith takes his seat, looking belligerent-
ly around him. If anybody wants to
make an issue of the grease, he indicates,
he will see him after class.
Now, Mr. Brown the instructor con-
tinues, how much gasoline did you esti-
mate for cooking the meals of the in
fantry division last night?"
Three hundred sixty-eight tons" Mr..
Brown replies in loud and authoritative
voice
A distressed hum, like that of angry
bees deprived of their honey, rises from
the class. -:
Mr.. Brown looks baff1ed He mis-
placed his decimal point,"a a charitable
fellow explains and the instructor mods.
Yes he says, "the amount would be
1863 tons. Better allow a." Mr.. Brown
looks more baff1ed than ever, but does
not reopen the subject.
The class is questioned in similar vein
on such matters as the average number
OF battle casualties to be expected on
day of severe fighting by an infantry
regiment, the number of field ambulances
required to remove them and the time
involved; the weight of various types of
ammunition and classes of rations, the
supplies that must be maintained for
10 infantry and one armored division in
the communications area under orders
issued by the theater commander. :.
Some of the answers may be wrong.
But most of them are surprisingly cor
rect. The remarkable thing is that Mr..
Smith and his classmates are able to
answer them at all. For, a week ago
they were winding up their affairs in
their own offices back home, about to
leave for months course in the Army
orientation course of the Command and
General Staff School. And here is NE

great that many of them, including Un-
dersecretary of State Sumner Welles,
have been urging that co-ordinated
United Nations planning for postwar
procedure begin now. Conferences with
the British have begun.
There's a general recognition that a
large proportion of mankinds Ills are
rooted in unequal distribution of the
worlds wealth.
For years Secretary of State Cordell
Hull has been plugging for lowered trade
barriers to stimulate the international
commerce which helps distribute that
wealth.
To simplify what this means: If the
48 States of America can achieve pros
perity through mutual trade, why, this
argument goes, can't all the nations of
the world do so by throwing open their
doors to international trade?
This does not mean, of course, pro-
ponents of the idea say, that IL barriers
should come down at once and thus in
vite an international dogfght of eco
nop1ic competition. ~
But how to- Danish gradually the eX-
listing protective trade barriers and
change just as gradually to a system of
free commercial Intercourse is prob

ever aeed by nsp,
'asfe are na pfher .questions-for
Instance, the different political con-
cepts which will have TO work with each
other. Take Russia :and the United
States, for example; How may their
points of view be brought together?
Many observers believe it must be
done, and Vice President Henry Wallace
warns that a third World War can
result if it isn't :.
One idea has been advanced which
perhaps simplifies this problem This is
