Declaring preparations are going

Grated peoples Immediately the
the war ends, Relief Director Her
bert H. Lehman said today that
1T well may be that the time is
running out for preparations for
the peace"
Mr.. Lehman, asserting United
States resources would be made
quate for this tremendous Job"
said there fortunately is a DISPOSE
ton among the United Nations to
meet the problem on a concerted
basis.
The job will be done, he added
in commencement speech at
SWarthmore College, with the least
possible burden on stocks that might
be short in the United States"
He reported that conversations
looking toward establishment of a
United Nations relief and rehabili-
tatlon organization have made very
great progress" and said he was
convinced that ultimately an ar
rangement can be agreed upon by
which the productive resources of
all the producer nations will be
brought to bear to meet the needs of
the millions who have been plum
dered. starved and despoiled."
If the free nations of the world
cannot collaborate to feed the Starv-
ing, clothe the naked and bind up
the wounds of the SICK" he said
what chance has the world for
political collaboration to prevent re-
currence of the worldwide conflicts
which twice within a generation
have brought all mankind to the
brink of catastrophe?'
Before we can talk of peace and
a permanent mechanism to secure
it," he said, I'VE must first make
certain that the nations and the
men, women and children who make
up the nations arc not driven by
starvation and desperation to en-
brace ideas as horrible as those of
the Axis which We are seeking to
eXtermlnate.
Estimating that some 540,OoO,OOO
persons are living under Nazi and
japanese domination, Mr.. Lehman
said that when the war ends most
OF these millions will be in need
OF assistance; to many of them as
slstance will mean the difference
between life and death, the differ
ence between right decisions and an
emblttered choice that might spell
chaos for entire future generation. ."

tons of bombs dropped on japanese
airdromes in the WeWak, New
Guinea, region Sunday, set off ex-
plosions that continued for 10 min
utes and started numerous fires in
fuel dumps and airpiane dispersal
areas.
The raid, against the Boram and
WeWak airdromes, was made by Fly

1t was the second heavy attack in
that area in three days. Last Friday
10 tons of explosives were loosed on
these same airdromes and on nearby
Dagua.
Both augmentation and incendi-
ary bombs were used in the Memorial
Day blow.
AN ammunition dump near the
airdrome was detonated, explosions
continuing for 10 minutes" today's
noon communique said. Fuel fires
were started and numerous other
blazes in dispersal areas indicated
burning aircraft"
Intense anti-aircraft fire was en-
countered at first but it was con-
siderably diminished the communi-
que said, by the 1,000-pound bombs
released by the Flying Fortresses.
Searchlight defense also was strong
but five were put out of action by
strafing, with at least three de-
stroyed.
Other bombers carried out small
scale raids against Cape Gloucester,
Talasea and GaSmata, New Britain
Kendari on Celebes Island, and in
the Admiralty Islands.
There were no further reports on
the movement of a small convoy
attacked off the north coast of New
