The Denver Post made statement not
long ago which points out how much
newspapers, the radio and motion pic
lures, do in any great effort, particularly
at this time, any war effort. That paper
says: 1.-The public is accurately aware
that only two other important factors,
the newspapers and the radio, have
equalled the motion picture industry in
giving endless and effective support to
the governments every war effort"
The effort in question at the moment
is the Red Cross War Fund Drive which
has appreciated generous response. 1t
is true that these three factors give time
and space to important endeavors. 1t Is
expected of them, and while these eff
forts are for the most part appreciated
the American public is little inclined
to take these gratuitouS helps as matter
of course.
We hear now and then that the motion
picture actors and legitimate stage
actors, also radio performers, get plenty
of publicity through their services. Per-
haps they do. We have also heard 1t said
that there are numberlesS professionals,
stage and screen, who are constantly CIV
ing to some worthy cause, but with the
understanding that their names and deeds
are not made public.
It is natural to regard them, the act
ing profession, as extraordinarily well
paid. They are; but they give gener-
ously OF their time for good cause. The
same may be said about radio performers.
And lost but not least the newspapers
give plenty of free space to good cause,
and we venture to say their services are
the least appreciated of the three. Which
brings us to the same conclusion on be-
half Of worthy cause - give to the Red
Cross War Fund Drive!

MIR. EDEN ON KEEPING FAITH

Anthony Eden did what he could
In his speech at Annapolis yesterday
to lay the ghost Of q private boun-
dairy agreement between Britain
and Russia. He wished, he said.
"once again to make plan that we
have no secret engagements with
any country" This Is simple Ian
guage from an onorahle man and
should be accepted as such. The
postwar problem Is good deal
bigger thQn boundaries. II Is q mat
ter OF cooperation and OF keeping
faith. Britain, as Mr.. Eden said,
kept faith with Greece, and the re-
sulting defeat twas not O failure Of
which we shall everfeelashamed."
We kept faith with Britain when,
as Mr.. Eden also said, we sent her
more than a million ROLES, gugnS,
machine guns and other weapons"
to arm her home guard In the black
months after Dunkerque. And the
United Nations keep faith with
something greater than any one ma
ton when lend-lease grows into O
pooling Of "upplies, when the far
away Burma Road concerns Britain
and America not as O highway for
Imperialism but as an avenue Of
liberty, when we ct at last In the
bitterly gained knowledge that I'VE
cannot have prosperity In one coun-
try and misery In Its neighbor,
peace In one hemisphere and war In
the other"

Red Cross officials agreed and
the visit went off without any
fanfare. Mrs. Roosevelt merely
took her place In line with other
blood donors, rolled up her sleeves,
had q pint drawn from her arm,
and went on about her business.
Some weeks later, Red Cross Of
flcials were astounded TO have
Mrs. Roosevelt appear at the blood
bank again. This time she had
not telephoned, but they felt their
pledge OF no publicity still held
good. Once again, the First Lady
took her place with other blood
donors, and scarcely anyone knew
she had been there.
Red Cross officials wished they
could have publiciEed the inch

WASTE IN SHIP REPAIRS
A lot Of waste Is unavoidable IN
the haste Of war time. However,
better headwork and planning GER
tainly should be able to elimin-
ate some Of the Nays ship.con.
version errors which are costing
the taxpayers a mint Of money.
Take, for instance, the case
Of . twln.scrcw passenger ship
built In Newport News In 1882.
Last August when plans were
being completed for the North
African landing, the Navy asked
the War shipping Administration
for this ship, together with five
others, TO be converted for COM
bat purposes. This one was TO
DO made q combat loader, which
required the installation OF heavy
hosting equipment on the deck
to hoist landing barges; also the
construction OF steel deck houses.
The ship was put into the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and q crew
Of men immediately went 10
work with blow torches, dis
mantllng the super.structure.
After only few days. however,
the Navy decided they did not
want the ship, that her stability
was inadequate for the installation
