Help Needed To Solve
Ride Sharing Problem

In Rockville there is need for
further working out of share-the-
ride effort. 1t seems that two
cars now are obliged to go too
many sections Of Washington. An
additional car, it is thought,
which will carry all passengers
to the Pentagon Building will
leave the other two cars to take
those who desire to go down town.
Anyone interested in helping solve
the problem can contact Mrs.

President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill have met
their military chiefs and
mapped out the steps to be
taken in 1913 all the patriots
of the United Nations today
are more hopeful. We have
all reached the point where
there seems no question that we
will win this war. but announce
ment of the his
Roosevelt, tory making con-
Churchill ference in Africa
In Africa lends even a more
hopeful color to
the conviction.
To those who have steeled
themselves to accept bad news
and good news without too
much feeling and to seek some
underlying facts behind either,
there arise several points
which are not made clear in
the early announcements. Es-
pecially interesting is the alb
sence of Premier Stain or one
of his top men and Of Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek.
That Premier Stain is too
absorbed with the great Rus
sian offensive to be away can
be accepted as real But the
absence of the Chinese chief is
difficult to understand. The
attitude of both America and
Britain is one Of full apprecia-
ton of the situation in both
Russia and China and a desire
to do everything possible to
lend them aid. 1t is a 1913
example of the difficulties to be
faced in peace years by world
leaders in their attempt to map
out a program which will be
readily subscribed to by all
nations. Both China and Rus
STA have, to this date, Shout
dered the greatest burdens of
warding off the enemies. Each
country has contributed inn
measurably in men and time
toward holding the line and
gaining time for American
might to make itself a truly
offensive force. Yet neither
country was officially repre-
sented in the epochal confer
ence. 1t is to be hoped that
Stain and his associates will
recognize that in the North
African campaign rests part of
the success his great reserve
armies are having this winter.
And it should certainly be clear
to General Chang Kai-shek
that both Britain and America
are making every effort to re-
ieve the pressure on his
armies.
And we are led to wonder
whether or not the conference
should have been so spectacu-
larly carried through if it were
known in advance that neither
Russia nor China would be rep
resented. Accomplishments at
the conference no
Stain, doubt, reach out
Kai-shek much farther than
Not There the first announce
ments indicate.
Many details could not be made
public. Getting Generals De-
Gaulle and Giraud together to
agree upon a unified effort Of
all French in North Africa was
a great forward stroke of di-
plomacy in itself. But could
not that have been arranged
without the two leading states
men of the world exposing
themselves to the hazards Of
air travel and to the danger Of
the battle zones? Suppose there
had been an accident to our
Commander-in-chief? Would
not our own home front been
50 measurably effected that
complete recovery would be a
question? 1t was spectacular
and had great appeal to mil
lions Of people. As a display
Of official showmanship there is
probably no parallel in history.
But sober thought leads one to
the conclusion that the results
could have been accomplished
as officially through established
contacts.
