Byrnes' command of the home
front war effort means that Mr..
Roosevelt has given him this sweep
ing authority in order to devote
more of his own time to the in
creasingly important problems of
global war strategy This does not
mean, however, that the president
has relinquished any of his wartime
powers; he merely has delegated
them to Byrnes, subject to the
chief executives final approval if
! necessary.
Many here believe that Prime
Minister Winston Churchill's recent
conferences with the president had
| an important effect on his decision
to make Byrnes war mobilization
director
Churchill, these semi official quar-
tiers said, frequently has expressed
amazement over the fact that the
president devoted so much of his
| time during war to purely domeS-
tic matters. Churchill leaves most
of these matters to Clement Atlee,
his deputy, and for practical pur-
poses, Mr.. Roosevelt appears to
have done the same sort of thing
with ByrneS.
Byrnes spoke as the full-f1edged
spokesman for the government.
The scope of his address and the
authoritative figures he offered to
back up his statements made this
point unmistakable.
Not only did the soft-spoken
South Carolinian paint an unusual
ly complete picture of the war pro-
duction program and discuss Allied
strategy for the future, but he
promised to put the civilian phase
of the governments war program
on the same basis of efficient coor-
dination that exists on the mill
tary fronts"
THE American people on the
farms, Gin the factories, and in the
mines, as we'll as at the battlefront,

report said it was ESTIMATED" that

It's all a matter of the Geneva
convention, to which all the war
ring nations except Japan are
Signatories. The convention pro-
vides that prisoners shall receive the
same rations as those served up to
the victors at the time OF their
capture.
Now that the prisoners are being
established in more permanent
camps, they are being fed in &C
cordance with the standards of their
respective armies and, as far as pos
sible, in the same goods. Thus the
