The ability of racial groups to
work harmoniously toward COM
mon objective has been proved by
the cooperative spirit which has
characterized American and Phil

Romulo. member of President Que
IONS war cabinet, declared last

senior secretary of the Ministry OF
Economic Affairs of the Chinese
government, speaking on Prob
lens in Foreign Relationship
United States, China and the Phil
lippines."
Col. Romulo said, America and
the Philippines have shown that
two peoples of different races can
rise above the walls of prejudice
and hatred and shoulder to shoul-
der work together to achieve COM
mon goal. 1t is not an easy road
1t demands an unqualified respect
for the dignity of the human soul
1t exacts recognition of freedom as
every nations legitimate goal"
Speaking on postwar reconstruc-
ton of China, DR.. WI said, 1--WE
shall need a great deal of help from
friendly nations, particularly the

fields, technical skill and capital
goods"
He suggested four ways in which
foreign nations, particularly the
United States and Great Britain
can assist in procuring capita
goods:
First, the industrialized countrie.
can lend us some Of the war plant.
they have built during the war ant
which they will find difficult tt
operate at full capacity In time o

dustrialists will make direct invest

on large scale in Canada, SoutE
America and Europe. Thirdly
American capital may participat,
with local capital in establishin,
jointly owned and operated indus

Welfare Board
Needs Help

The un-met needs of the individ-
ual children are no more serious III
war-torn Europe than in Mont
gomery County, Mrs. Dorothy M.
Kurtz, Executive Secretary of the
Montgomery County Welfare Board
declared yesterday. Wherever
there are children without ade-
quate food, shelter, clothing and
parental care, this situation is a
sad commentary on the humanity
of our civilization.
Since May first, the shortage
of staff in the Children's Division
of the Welfare Board has made it
necessary for that agency to re-
fuse TO accept additional children
for foster care. Members of the
community have been shocked by
the fact that children desperately
in need of care cannot be accepted.
Ample money is available to pro-
vide foster care, Mrs. Kurtz ex-
planned, but lack of staff makes it
almost impossible to complete stu
dies of foster homes, or to super
wise new children when foster
homes are available.
1t will become necessary to cur
tail further the agency's services
to children, unless a full staff can
be secured before Sept. Is.
Part-time positions in the Child
ren's Division are available for ex,
perienced social workers and the
agency can now accept responsible
lity for in-service training of col
lege graduates who have had no
actual social work experience.
Mrs. Kurtz expressed the hope
that college graduates interested
in the welfare of children in Mont
gomery County will avail them
selves of this opportunity to make
a real contribution TO the future
by calling her at Rockville 327.
