What Is Important

1t has been stated before. but it
well may be repeated that the emer-
gency Red Cross campaign now in
progress deserves the support of all
residents of Metropolitan Washington
without regard to any other homes
they may have. The quota stipulated
for the Nations Capital was figured
on the basis of its present popula-
tion-the number of people who.
whether in Government or private
employment. earn their living in or
near the District of Columbia. No
other principle would have been
reasonable 1t therefore simply is
not fair for individuals to reply to
appeals to help with the excuse: We
are here only temporarily"
The war, too, 1t sincerely NAV be
hoped, also Is merely a temporary
matter Meanwhile, minute by min
ute the need for the Red Cross is
growing. Never before in its history
has it been subject to so many and
such compelling demands. 1t is
sorely needed in the Solomons. in
TuniSia, in Australia, in Iceland. in
no less than sixty other far-fung
outpostS where the American flag
flies as the symbol of mankinds S hope
for decent and tolerable world it
likewise is wanted in Britain. Russia
and China. But mercy, in common
with other precious values. costs
money. The materials and at least
some Of the services which the Red
Cross Is called upon to give must be
paid for, and they cannot be paid for
except as citizens on the home front
volunteer to contribute. It Is the
American custom to finance human
kindness without coercion-and that,
1t should be remembered, represents
one Of the aspects OF civilization for
which the United Nations are con-
tending with the regimented Axis
powers.
Approximately 43 per cent of the
total campaign objective has been
raised. The amount still sought Is
s87S,014, and Temporary residents"
especially are asked to do their share
toward triumphant success-gladly
and generously and with the same
sort OF zeal that the combat forces
bravely demonstrate Whether ones
home is In Washington or in Paducah
Is not very important at this critical
moment. What is vital to everybody
everywhere is the winning Of the war
and the saving Of as many lives as
possible in the winning.

We watched one the other day by An
althea bush at the corner of the garage
There was nothing about the bare

He kept rushing at the base then leap

To the Editor Of The Sta


The report of the National Resources
Planning Board was good, but it doesn't
go far enough-not nearly as far as men
who have gone before.
For example, Isaiah promised 1000
years Of peace, St John on the Isle of
Patmos enviSiored a Gay when there
VIII be no more night. Thomas More
gave us conception of Utopia that no
New Dealer has ever topped
We admire these beautiful dreams, but
we turn to Amos. that hard bitten sheep
herder of Tekoah. for comfort. He
cried: let justice roll down like water
ard righteousness as a mighty stream!"
But none has needed him, even in this
enlightened age
Oh yes, YOU can find men who will
make plans even without benefit Of
Congress, but who has ever made
greater plan than the one this Nation
has followed to make it the greatest
in the world?
If the other nations-e e. England
Russia, etc.-are so much better than us
and furnish us with so many patterns,
why aren't they keeping US up instead
of our having to contribute to them?
All Of the learned economists of the
New Deal cannot dispute that we had
the greatest nation on earth long before
they ever heard the words cradle to
the grave" IRA JONES.
