IT'S Time TO MAIL
CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

The Army and Navy postal serv-
ices emphasize the necessity for
packing all Christmas gifts for serv-
ice men and women overseas in
boxes of metal, wood, solid fiber
board or strong double-faced CORFU
gated fiberboard. The boxes should
be tied with strong twine. The
Christmas packages mailing period
for overseas is September Is to Oc-
tober Is.
The services said that it is highly
desirable that all fiberboard boxes
be securely wrapped in heavy paper,
if available, as experience has
show nthat boxes without an outer
wrapper often become crushed or
split, thus allowing the contents to
escape.
Contents of the package should be
packed tightly, in order that articles
may not become loosened in transit,
damaging the contents or the cover
ing of the parcels.

he put on a pair of red trou-

Goal of the forthcoming
Washington conversations be-
tween President Roosevelt and
Gen. Charles de Gaulle may
perhaps best be expressed as
the desire to establish a basis
for an understanding as salts
factory as now exists between
General Eisenhower and the
Dutch, the Norwegians, and the
Belgians. Arrangements for set
ting up military and civil gov
eminent during the invasion
and liberation of these three
countries were concluded with
practically no difficulty at all.
Only with the French has there
been delay and pickering. An
agreement was announced as
having been reached in London
on June z, it was repudiated by
General De Gaulle after the in
vasion and at this writing still
remains unsettled.
Full terms of the agreements
with the Dutch, the Morse and
the Belgian governments have
never been made public because
of the military clauses. The ne
gotiations were conducted in
both London and Washington,
and were announced simultan-
eously in both capitals last May.
The terms were approved by
General Eisenhower as COM
mander in chief for the Euro
pean theater of operations.
Such parts Of the agreements
as were made public give Cen
eral Eisenhower supreme re-
sponsibility and authority over
civil administration as may be
required by the military situa-

take any and all measures nee

1t is presumed that this period
of operations will be as short as
possible, but while it lasts there
are no qualifications whatever.
AS soon as this first phase OF
the liberation is ended, it is pro-
vided that General Eisenhower
will inform the Netherlands
government to take over COM
plete responsibility for civil adj
ministration. Even then, how
ever it is understood that such

HOPE FOR THE OPPRESSED

The Presidents most direct appeal was to Ger
mans and all others under Noz rule to conceal the
prosecuted and help them to escope
It was an appeal to decency and humanity which
will certainly be needed, although its fufllment is
beset with difficulty and danger.
The difficulty is particularly great in the eose

The danger is clear to every compassionate per-
son in Noz-domnoted countries - that in saving
hunted mans life, he is putting his own in jeoP-
ordy But this has not kept many humane and cour-
oeeous people from aiding fuetves.
There must be many others who have acted
against their conscience through fear. Now, Porticu-

with decency even though the danger has increased.
Hungary, for example, has had repressive reeu-
otons for several years. But though the government
oped the statutes Of the Third Reich, neither its Of
ficers its citizens went to the fonotcoly cruel
lengths Of the Germans. There and in the Balkans,
as Mr. Roosevelt pointed out, hundreds Of thousands
of Jews have at least found haven from death.
The new puppet government in Hungary has just
passed stricter onti-Jewsh laws But each day the
Red army approaches nearer. Now men Of good will
in Hungary and the Balkans may dare to follow the
impulses of decency. Those who hesitate may heed
the Presidents righteous warning that "oll who
knowingly toke port in the deportation Of Jews to
their death in Poland or Noweeons and French to
