u. 5. Is Not Swayed
By Refugee Views on
Leaders, Ber|e Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
This Government policy toward
refugee groups claiming to repre-
sent the countries from which they
come is based on determination to
let peoples choose their own leaders
when they can do so freely. Adolf A.
Berle, jr., Assistant Secretary of
State. said last night.
Replying to an inquiry of the
American Council on Public Affairs,
Mr.. Berle said in q letter made pub
lie by the State Department that
Europeans organized outside their
native countries could not be judged
merely on the basis of the political
names they call each other.
Conservatives who have consist
emily and vigorously fought Fas-
cism," he said, ARE often attacked
by groups who also are fighting
Fascism, but who are pleading for
particular reforms, and these in turn
are commonly accused of being re-
dictionary or even Fascist by the
more radical groups"
Reactionary Attitude Charged.
The Council of Public Affairs,
through its secretary, M. B. Schnap-
per, had inquired about assertions
it said were recently made that the
Department of State has pursued
a policy OF rebuffng and ignoring
exiled leaders who look to a demo-
cratic rehabilitation of Europe and
that, on the other hand, it has been
favorably disposed toward highly
conservative and reactionary persons
who are desirous of retaining the
evils of prewar Europe"
The council said that such charges
have been particularly emphatic of
late in connection with the depart
ment's policy with regard to Italy.
Mr. Schnapper said he did not be-
lieve them, but asked clarification.
In his reply, Mr.. Berle called such
charges amazing" and said that
refugees from Europe had been ad-
mitted to safety in this country
and had here stated their views
freely through American free speech
and press "to an extent not per-
mitted by any other country on
earth"
Leaders and groups of all shades
Of thought have sought here the
refuge which we have gladly Of
fered," he said. Many of them have
asked to be recognized or accepted
or dealt with as representing the
country from which they came.
Their claims " are often disputed
by other leaders and groups of the
same nationality. - = These claims
properly ought To be settled by the
people of their own country, not by
the State Department.
Decisions Rest With Peoples.
"The Government of the United
States has been glad to receive The
suggestions, the ideas, the plans, of
all these free movements and their
leaders, but decision upon their
claims rests not in the hands Of this
Government, but in the hands OF
their own people"
Mr.. Berle said that many wild
yarns, hardly worth the trouble of
denying" had apparently been cir
culated by some foreign political
personages-he did not name them
enjoying American hospitality.
One such, he said, was a rumor
that Italian Count Ciano was in the
United States: another, tha. a plan
for Catholic axis" was being
elaborated in Washington; a third,
that some kind of fascist federation
Of Eastern Europe was being aimed
against Soviet Russia.
They merit no attention" he
concluded.

Phys Give The
|. SOLOMON JAPS
EERIE NIGHTS
BY WILLIAM F. TRYEE

WITH u. s. FLEET IN THE
SOUTH PACIFIC Delayed Cup
The Japanese are beginning to
think all Americans are crazy.
Their feeling stems from the lat
est exploits Of our sturdy, efflcient
ply flying boats, which have been
placed high on the peeve list Of the
Japanese forces in the northern
Solomon islands. The Phys have
become the equivalent in nuisance
value Of the Japanese washing
Machine WILLIE" and they're prov
ing even more annoying.
When the Phys are out the jap
anese get no sleep.
They hear all kinds Of eerie
sounds in the night. with large and
small bombs bursting at frequent
intervals and flares casting an UNI
real glow over their camps. The
Phys dump anything they can carry
including beer bottles. Tumbling
through the air, the empty bottles
make a terrifying sound-like the
wall Of lost soul--as the wind
sweeps past their mouths. Each
revolution in the downward plunge
Of the bottle changes the pitch of
the sound.
Navy Flyers Enjoy It
The Japanese, climbing YEARLY
from their beds in the coconut
groves and jungles, find the beer
bottles all right, and they undoubt-
eddy know the explanation for the
nightly wailings and screenings,
but they get bombs and flares, too.
We can imagine them wondering
what those crazy Americans will do
next. and wasting little in the way
of kindly thought on us.
Lts~Com. D. s. Crowley Of Roam
oke, Va, and Kingsport, Tenn, tells
the story with a grin, because the
Navy flyers who do this type Of work
enjoy themselves immensely Crow
ley was out on one Of these harass-
ing missions recently over Munda on
New Georgia and watched American
warships lombard the airf1eld. The
Japanese already were awake and
firing frantically at the seemingly
empty skies when the naval units
opened up from offshore.
"You get sort Of pre-battle ten
sion before one of these missions"
Crowley said, "but then you settle
down to the Job and have some fun.
You can see the Japanese guns
flashing below, and sometimes the
tracers go by pretty close. However,
the Japanese shot up at lot Of am
munitionr without much chance OF
getting a hit"
The enemy can't see the Phys,
Crowley explained.
I'VE cruise back and forth over
the enemy positions for a couple OF
hours, dropping our little nuisance
packages. A big bomb will go down
with crash and the evenings fes-
tiyities are started. A handful Of
bottles will be thrown over, and
then, perhaps, o flare, Next will
ON the small augmentation
bombs. The Japanese resist with
ack-ack and the resulting contu-
sion Is gosh awful"
Somewhere in Japanese lingo,
the enemy must have found words
to describe the Ply. When they
hear the drone Of the engines IN
the night they probably regret the
time they started this little game.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-02-15

We can start with the fact that
Puerto Rico Is, on the whole, the
most poverty-ridden area under
the stars and Stripes. The nv-
ing standards Of the mass Of Its
population are almost indescrib-
ably low. What pass for disgrace
full slums In the larger continental
American cities would be pass
able residential sections down
here. What are called slurns here
would be dynamited as an emer-
gency health measure anywhere in
the States. Ell.
On an average income of
around 50 week the typical
Puerto Rican supports q family
that averages about five persons.
Some maintain nine or ten per-
sons on little more than that.
This is not because food and
clothing are cheaper here. The inn
portant foodstuffs have to be Inn
ported, and cost rather more than
In the States. For 50 week, a
continental American could buy
more for his family than a Puerto
Rican can buy. Clothing appears
to cost about the same.
You can imagine, then. the back
ground Of squalor against which
the economic program down here
must be judged.
Few NATURAL RESOURCES
There are two million persons on
two million acres, Of which only q
third is suitable for useful cultiva-
ton. There are so few natural re-
sources, and those so limited, that
the island cannot establish an in
dustrial economy with which to
earn the money to pay for food,
clothing and better housing.
There is now under way a pro-
gram sometimes called the Little
New Deal but generally known rs
"Tugwell's Program" to do some-
thing for the Puerto Ricans.
This program Is the basic reason
why Governor Tugwell Is being be-
labored both here and in Washing
ton as none Of his predecessors ever
