Letters to the Editor
Tribute


To Mrs. Francis.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Except through channels of social
work in the Council of Social Agencies,
few Washingtonians know of the Gull
tural worth of many colored women.
Last week Mrs. Beatrice Francis, resid-
ing at 2109 Pennsylvania avenue, died
She was a member of the board of the
Phyllis Wheatley YWCA and of the
Childrens Protective Association.
Her largest contribution to the culture
OF Washington was the support she gave
to many beginning artists in the world
of music. Her home was frequently a
Mecca Of Washington music lovers. In
their early struggling days she sponsored
concerts at which Roland Hayes and
Marian Anderson sang. They stayed
at her home almost invariably when
they were in Washington.
Mrs. Francis, and her husband, a
prominent local physician, were frequent
visitors to England, France and Italy
Their cultural contacts have been of
much benefit to the community.
Washington has lost most valuable
citizen and the music world benefactor
in the death of this gracious woman.
E. B. HENDERSON.

Dangerous Days

These are great days." Mr..
Churchill said when he was here in
May. They are like the days in
Lord Chatham's time of which 1t
was said that you had to get up
very early in the morning not to miss
some news of victory"
But if the production effort moves
at home in inverse ratio to the good
news from abroad, these great days
are dangerous days. That is said
now to be the case. Men in Wash
ington are worried about the slow
downs in industry, the falling off in
volunteer civilian defense activities,
the general Stacking up all along
the line on the home front. They
associate these things with over
confidence, a foolish belief that the
war will soon be over.
Secretary Knox is so concerned
that he dedicated press conference
on Tuesday to talk about the dangers
of overoptimism and to emphasize
the fact that we still have a long,
tough row to hoe before this war
is over. Vice Admiral Frederick
Horne said that "one of our biggest
difficulties is the wave of optimism
that runs through the country
whenever we have slight success"
Charles E. Wilson, vice chairman of
the War Production Board, said that
while manpower and materials are
available, we are not turning out the
airplanes we should be turning out;
we were under par in May, in June
and will be under par in July. Sec
rotary Knox suggested that the
trouble lies in the "spirit-the diff
ference between complacency and
the will to produce"
In Cincinnati speech, Rear
Admiral Clark H. Woodward said
that while we can take defeat, have
we the will power to stand up to
good news as well as bad?" The
Germans are standing adversely
better than we are accepting success,
he said.
We are mercurial people, and
these waves of optimism usually fol-
low waves of pessimism. The same
condition existed in the Civil War
and was remarked on by visiting
Englishmen who detected the lack,
over here, of the stubborn steadi-
ness their own people, more grimly
experienced in war, would have
shown. The war is still long way
from home and we are preoccupied
with good many of the same
advertisements we enjoyed in peace
time. If it is true that present SLOW
downs in industry are the result of
misplaced optimism as to an early
ending of the war, they might be
cured by making an intensive drive
In those industries affected to con-
vince the workers how wrong they
are. But if the present situation is
merely another complaint over alb
senteeism, with optimism singled
out as convenient and inoffensive
explanation, there is not much hope
for improvement until, by the adop-
ton of legislation for compulsory
civilian service, comparable in its
concept to the Selective Service Act
for military service, we demonstrate
the truth of the parallel-ineffec-
lively talked about-between fight
ing the war at home and fighting it
abroad. We are not fighting very
hard at home, except among our
selves.

Mr.. Ickes' Estimate Of Wealth
Stirs Comment on Gold.

To the Editor Of The Star:
According to paragraph in recent
issue of The Star, Secretary Ickes states
that the average per capita wealth of
each man, woman and child in the
United States is $4,000.
According to horse and buggy arith-
metic, this amounts to total of l1,57O
billion dollars assuming that the
present population within our borders
is 130,0O0,000). This seems to be
startling figure, though perhaps, by
decree, the New Deal has repealed the
Gresham law, much as a legendary
legislator is said to have once demanded
that the ratio Of the length of the cir
conference of circle to its diameter
be fixed, by law, to be simply three
instead of 3.14l6.
If the honorable Secretary Is cor
rect, and how could he be otherwise,
why all this other regarding imitation?
History records that Henry VII re-
warded John Cabot with an amount of
gold. equivalent to f25 in modern English
sovereigns (gold and that John Cabot
bought very nice farm in Somerset
with the gold.
How much wiser our New Dealers are
than Henry VII! They conceived the
idea of "illegalizing" the private owner
ship of gold. buried it at Fort Knox,
and now we can all be happy in reckon
ing our per capita wealth in huge figures.

Classificatio Of Widows
As Single" Resented.

TO the Editor Of The Star:
Will you kindly explain to few thou
sand widows why they are classed and
taxed as single? Or perhaps Mr.. Nor
genthau would oblige.
I work with some young single girls
who draw the same salary that I do.
They live at home and pay small board
bills which also include their laundry.
The rest Of their earnings can be spent
for clothes and pleasure.
Out Of my salary I must pay rent,
electric bill, gas bill, telephone, IRE In
surance, laundry, food and all the other
expenses connected with the upkeep Of
. house, yet my tax deduction Is the
same as theirs-because am classed as
single.
