Apparently referring to the We'll

French Factions Join
For Talks on Food
See No Significance
In Combining for PorIey
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representation Of France by q
joint De Gaulle -Giraud delegation
at the United Nations Food Confer
ence was described in French quar-
ters here today as an isolated in
stance Of practical collaboration
without particular significance.
A spokesman Of Gen. Charles De
Gaulle's Fighting French organiza-
ton said the fact that both t,1e
rival French leaders were represent
ed on the same delegation at Hot
Springs, Va, did not mean progress
toward solution of their differ
enceS.
He said that when the confere- "e
was called, Gen. de Gualle, f.
London, proposed to Gen. &c, /
Giraud, high commissioner in Frercl
North Africa, that they send a joint
delegation. He suggested that Herve
Alphand, young commercial expert
with De Gualle's French committee,
serve as chairman of the delegation.
Gen. Giraud accepted the proposal,
it was said, and named two Of his
civilian aides, Andre Mayer and
Pierre Berthault, as the other men,
bers of the delegation.
Chairman Alphand was described
as the son OF French diplomat and
himself was financial attache to the
Vichy- French Embassy here before
the American occupation of North
Africa.

advertently, information which If
published would aid the enemy.
The answer is that if the delegates
talk with the newspapermen in the
Casino they might also reveal just
as much information as if they
talked with them in the hotel.
Furthermore, there is strict CEN
sorship in this country, which pre-
vents publication of news or infor-
nation which might aid the enemy.
Both Mr.. Jones and Michael j.
McDermott, chief of the division of
current information in the State
Department and press officer of the

Argentine Newspaper
Asks Food Talks Role
Says Country Should
Join in Conferences
BY the Associated Press,

by Inc Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, May 18.-The
newspaper Critica, in an editorial
yesterday, deplored Argentina's ex-
clusion from United Nations con-
ferences dealing with postwar food
and monetary problems.
argentina should not be absent
from conferences called to face the
eventual consequences of the con-
f1ict," the pro-democratic newspa-
per declared.
I'm provisioning continent raw
ished by ruin, destruction and hun
ger, Argentina must be present with
it's agricultural and livestock pro-
duction capacity and its enormous
resources of raw materials for all
kinds of labor"
Critica termed both the food and
monetary problems vital questions
for U.s." It urged Congress to deal
with the question of Argentina's re-
lation to the postwar world.
THE Chamber of Deputies, which
last year voted to break relations
with the Axis, has an obligation, as
the popular organ interpreting the
anxiety of the country, to assume
the task of studying all these prob
lems," the editorial went on.
'It is very possible that during
the next few months the destiny of
the nations at war will be decided
as well as those which one way or
another associated themselves with
the gigantic effort being made Our
destiny cannot be left to drift, nor
is the idea of an isolated Argentina
conceivable"

The difficulties Of the press, be-
cause of the restriction imposed
against correspondents entering the
hotel, were emphasized with the ar
rival of the delegates late yester-
day. It took hours for some re-
porters to get in contact with men,
bers of various delegations. And
when, late at night, the delegates
agreed to see newspaper interview
ers, they preferred to remain on the
porch Of the hotel rather than go
to the casino.
The ridiculous situation is created
by the stubbornness of Washington,
which has so far refused to lift the
ban on entrance of newspapermen
into the hotel. An administration
spokesman has explained it might
not be polite for the delegates to
talk with newspapermen freely in

International Office Suggested.
Out of the last will come the
recommendations of the confer
ence. The first concrete suggestion
was made by the head of the British
delegation, Richard K. Law. He
has suggested the formation of an
international agricultural Office
for fact finding largely-similar to
the International Labor Office
which has been in existence since
the last war.
The agenda for the conference,
set forth by the State Department
after consultation with the gov
ernments invited to send delega-
tions, will be formally approved.
Committees will be set up to deal
with the various items in this
agenda, and the conference will get
down to work in earnest.
The delegates to the conference
andtheir technical advisers, nearly
500 in number, have arrived and
are installed in the Homestead
Hotel. Today they are getting
acquainted and planning for work.
This afternoon they will be guests
at a reception in the hotel.
Press Still Barred.
The only visible reminder that
this conference is being held in
the midst of war is found in a
military guard which has been
thrown about the Homestead Hotel.
and the fact that free access to
the hotel and to the delegates by
the press is so far banned.
Newsmen had comfortable press
room in a dancing casino near
the hotel and their relations with
the delegates looked to the naked
eye very much like the relations be-
tween tourist passengers on a lux
ury liner with first-class passengers
on the same ship.
The reporters had the privilege of
sending word up to any delegate
and asking him to come down the
hill to talk. They could gaze up
hill toward the big hotel verandas,
as toward the upper deck, and
watch the facial expressions of
strolling delegates through their
binoculars.
Looking the other way they could
enjoy the sight Of broad lawns,
lovely trees, babbling brooks-and
wait for the next press conference.
1t has been emphasized that the
actions of the conference will not
undertake to bind this or any other
nation to specific course. It's pur-
pose is to lay plans for gathering
information and to make recon-
mendations that may be adopted
later.
The temporary president of the
conference will be named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. That this will be

God only knew what was best,
He called him home to rest, so
father has just passed to his re-
ward. We all know where to
find him safe at home in heaven
where sorrow. sickness and death
never comes. How we miss our
dear loved one in our home each
day, but angels came and called
him to that Heavenly home to
stay. How often our thoughts
wander to that grave not far
away. Some may think we have
forgotten him when sometimes
they see us smile, but little do
they know our heartaches all the
while.
Dear father up in heaven, with
Jesus around the throne, His dear
hands are reckoning loved ones
to come on home. Flowers they
placed on his grave may wither
and decay, but he will never be
forgotten, never shall his memo
ry fade. Sweetest thoughts will
ever linger, around the grave
where he is laid.
