CHILDREN IN WARTIME
ASSURANCE OF POLISH INDEPENDENCE
(New York Times)

Childhood everywhere is hurt by this global war. In the devastated regions, in subjugated countries, even in our own land far from the battle fronts, children suffer. Some of the i'll effects in this city are brought to clear light in the nine ty-first annual report of the Chil- dren's Aid Society. These revela- tions challenge the attention of all who hope for the l-being of the home front.
 The war, while increasing the birth rate, reduces the chances of newborn children to receive proper care. It weakens family ties and disturbs family unity. Thousands of mothers are drawn away from their homes into war work. Tholis- ands of adolescents go out to work before their time. Fathers and big brothers, and big sisters too. are absent either in the armed forces or in war jobs. It all results in the lowering of the protection that childhood should have.
 More foster-home care must be found; more care for little convales- cents; more care for healthy chil- dren in after-school hours and in the idle weeks of the summer va- cation. If juvenile delinquency is growing. it is partly because the community is unaware. or negligent, Of the new needs that wartime thrusts upon childhood. The Chil- dren's Aid Society. at l05 East Twenty ty-second Street. strives to meet these needs. It has increased all phases of it's work since last year, some phases by as much as 68 per cent. It merits a proportion ate increase of support. An ensign in the Mediterranean. one of the s0ciety's 1853 New York boys at war. writes: T am sure that # more Of us could SC what can happen to children-and you don't have to go all the way to Italy to see tive would all dig deeper into our pock. eth00ks."

Labor and the Press


 cured for labor on the part of service men is matter of digging deep to find a culprit in the case, even if very dead one. Yet, recently, prominent c. l. O. leader did just that in reply to criticisms leveled against unions by the crew of the USS Coos Bay.
 We frankly believe that, in many ln- stances, the case against labor 1n the minds of most servicemen is exaggerated, for labor'S records, as a whole, in this war is magnificent one. For example, here in Connecticut and Waterbury we find war production achievements eX- ceeding all expectations of authorities; few states, comparatively speaking, can boast of as many Army-Navy "E" awards for excellence of production. True, this is as much the result of arrangements part in this program as it is labor'S, but the facts are there.
 Yet there have been blunderS made by certain labor leaders just as there have been blunders by leaders of management and government And to swing out and come up with that old canard of blaming the "press" as an inciter of ill-will, is a blunder that could have been born only of the hot-headed, impetuous outburst of
  against the wall.
 Labor leaders have clearly defined responsibility and no one questions the fact that the capable leaders are well aware of such a fact. Yet there have been instances during the production battle of this war when minority groups of workers have endangered the welfare of the nation by assuming that their own 1.;Sr actions that have caused work stoppages and production impedimentS.
 It is these latter groups that have in- cured the wrath and disgust of men in Ehe service and the majority of civilians. Such men should not be pampered or treated with indulgences by the unions following the committing of such acts; rather, there should be, at least in these times, a definite association ruling within the bylaws of any union whereby such violatorS of wartime agreements are severely punished by the union.
 A strict adherence to the enforcement of any such ruling could have but one positive reSult-a high respect by service men, civilians and all, for such union and its honest consistency Then too, there would be no possibility, as already unfortunately has become reality, of the misguided censoring of the majority of honest workers for the selfish faults of a few.
 The "press" has not labeled these few as "slackerS" or "deSerterS''. They have been labeled as such by highly respected military and government leaders. The press has merely repeated the utterances of such men-because it was the duty of the press. Likewise the press" has not reported the occurrences of "work stop pages" or strikes" simply to publicize such matters; they have reported them because here again was case of dutiful responsibility. Labor's magnificent pro- duction job during this war has received a great deal more publicity through the "press" than have any of the minority dir ty spots. We know that the records prove this, and it is regrettable that few hot heads remain in responsible posts to throw their dirty linen on such clean record.

SPURIOUS NERVOUS EXHAUSTION

For years I have been teaching, with insignificant success, that Q diagnosis of nervous exhaustion, nervous weakness, nervous fatigue or neurasthenia is a trick diagnosis and that if the patient, not the pa- tients relatives and friends, is the victim of the deception he or she ought to know better. For years l have been getting retorts like this:
 If my trouble isn't neurasthenia, then what is 1t? The best doctors specialists etc, etc., etc.
 We'll, that stops me. For all my bombast I'm not much good as Q long distance diagnostician.
 All I can say is what l say here.
 The discerning reader may get some idea from the interesting comment in a chapter on mild pel- lagra in McLester's Nutrition and Diet in Health and Disease, (Saun- ders, 390:
 "The disabilities of these pa- tients include anorexia tlack of appetite), diarrhea, easy exhaus- ton, nervous instability or mild mental depression, and peripher- red glossitis (sore tongue) sometimes little more than anorexia, loss of weight and change of personality. This was emprasized by J. B. McLester, who made the significant observa- tion"-
 Now, listen, if some eminent spec ialist has kidded you along with the trick diagnosis of neurasthenia
 ". the significant observation that an appreciable number of pellagrins in the Hillman Hospi- tai, of Birmingham (Alabama,) gave a history of having been ad- mitted in previous years with a diagnosis of neurastheria.'
 Oh, well, Dr. J. M. McLester was just @ young feller when he made that observation. Probably the em- inent physicians who sent the pel- lagrins to the hospital for "neuras- thenia" would dismiss his observa- tion as that of an inexperienced youngster.
 Mortality statistics indicate that there are perhaps two thousand deaths ascribed to pellagra in 8 year in southern state. If pella- gra is entered on the death certiti- cate in that many instances, we may safely assume that several thousand deaths due primarily to pellagra are certified as due to heart failure, pneumonia, exhaus- tion etc., and if so many people die of pellagra in one state 1t is safe to assume that hundreds of thous- sands of people have mild pellagra, whether it is SO diagnosed or not
 This does not mean that. pellagra is what really ails every one who purports to have neurasthenia.

NEEDING

Christian Science Monitor
 We disagree with our Victory Gar- den neighbor who said the other day that raising carrots. beans. and other vegetables indeed would be a pleasure were 1t not for the weed- ing to be done. Now when you come right down to earth, what is wrong with wedding? Certainly 1t entails no more stepping than does planting the seed or Eeaping the harvest. And is there any more satisfaction than to see a garden free from Weeds2
 Viewed from the proper perspec- tive, wedding can be relaxation from more strenuous garden chores. In wedding carrots, for instance, the practical procedure is to stFaddle the row with your knees, using either hand alternately to pick out the little spears of grass or chick weed that slip in between the tiny plants. The row may be long; but

FARM SAFETY
Boston Post)

Every farm wroker and agency should cooperate in the observance of National Farm Safety Week next month. They can do this best by starting now. even though the off, ciai campaign. established by Pres ident Roosevelt. does not take place until the week of July g. Death and injuries in farming accidents have climbed under the stress of the wartime food programme. Many of the workers are Inexperienced and, therefore, more likely to have mis- hapS. Like industrial and highway safety programmes, the farm safety campaign should be year-round affair, for death takes no holiday.

 We are only interested in the future peace of Europe" Stalin said, land in not having PO-
 land used as a doOrmat over which an aggressOr nation can walk to assail our country"
 Tn this connection, he made a pledge considered most significant to Polish American leaders namely, that the Union of Po- fish Patriots would not be used to form the basis for a new Polish government. The Union of Po- fish Patriots is the organization of Poles formed inside Ruscsia and working closely with the Soviet. It has always been Sus- pected that the Soviet planned to construct a new Polish govern ment, perhaps with communist leanings, using the Polish Patri- ots as a nucleus. But through out his interviews, Stalin gave assurances that he was not in- ertested in a communistic Poland, but that he was very much in- ertesed in a friendly Poland.

Selected Poem
BOY IN TEE RAIN lFlorenee Marie Taylor in Tine New York Ttmes)

(FIorence Marie Taylor in The New York Times) The rain is invitation to the boy
 Almost as much as golden sum- 1t seems. Cool water splashing on his upturned face, The way it stands in pools, the way t geams silver bright upon white clover heads
 Where sky and water now appear as one. The slantlng Talndrops pelt his fishing hole And eToppies bite and minn0ws skip and run, The long, dEenehed branches of the willow are Like trailing fingers through his hair and deep Along the wagon lane the water there Is cold and sudden on his bare, brown feet The twinkng air is soft and sweet again, Cleansing the boy who fr0lics in the rain

 Present at the interview were Foreign Commissar Molotov and Secretary Pavlov of the Foreign Office.
 It is considered significant that Polish Premier Mikolajcyk, dur ing his recent visit in this coun- try, spent considerable time with Professor Lange, who had recently returned from his talk with Stalin. It is believed that hte Lange-Mik- olajcyk conferences in Chciago, together with those of Polish pre- mier had with President Roosevelt Washington, have had much to do with the reported favorable trend of Polish Russian relations re- gently.
 However, Stalin did not talk only about Poland. At one point he was asked about the danger of Anglo Soviet American harmony breaking up. His reply was that he was not worried.
 This alliance is not built merely on an agreement between three men," Stalin said. "It is the result of a deep and compell- ing fundamental community of historical interests. It is as- sured by the fact that We all need each other. As one of your American statesman once said, If we do not all hang together, we will hang separately So I am confident that, despite minor disturbances and occasional irri- tatiOns, our friendship will con- tinue ana will assure peace to the postwar world.
 SOCIALISTIC GER
 MANY UNLIKELY
 Stalin was also asked about the chances of Germany becoming so- cialistc after the war. He replied that he did not believe that likely.
 Foreign Commissar Molotov, however, expressed disagreement, pointing out that 5,000,0O0 anti Nazi votes were cast in the last free election before Hitler came into power.
 But Stalin argued back: "The cadres (meaning cells) of the rank and file of the German Ia- bOr movement have been conn pleteIy destroyed by fascism. The comeback of the German labor movement is a matter of one or two generations. Mean while, we can take no chances with Germany"
 When the subject of Hitler and the German atrocities came up, Stalin became emotional. He told how the Germans had burned villages, slaughtered children, de- stroyed everything they saw.
 How can you expect a peO- pie who have induIged in such sadistic brutal atrocities to be socialists or communists? They are murderOus barbarians. Hu- man beings never could do such ruthless, savage things"
 During his conversations, Stalin frequently referred to Lenin, lead CT of the Bolsheyik revolution. "I am only following in the path path laid down for us by Lenin, laid down for us by LeniD," he once remarked.
 NO AMG FOR POLAND
 Referring to Polish problems, the main subject in which both Professor Lange and Father OF- lemanski were interested. stalin stated categorically that there would be no AMd for Poland in the wake of Red Army advances.
 NOTE-AMG, or Allied Mili- tary government, is the service largely trained at the University of Virginia, under the U. s. Army to take over occupied areas after the advance Of Allied armies.)
 Stalln expressed deep distrust Of the Polish officers trained by AMd in the United States, Eng land and Cairo to re-egtablish Polish rule in re-Oecupited Polish territory. He described these men as bitterly anti-soyiet and almost
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-05

"There will be no AMGOT rule in Poland" Stalin said, calling AMG by the name which was originally used but which was changed when the Allies dis covered that 'amgOC was the Turkish word for horse manure and carried an unfortunate con- notation.
 "The Poles must form their own government" Stalin con- tinued. '"Che Polish govern ment must emerge from Poland itSelf."
 ASSURANCE OF POLISH INDEPENDENCE
 He was told that many of the Polish people in Russia are now more radical than citizens of the Soviet. He said that this did not surprise him. The political feel ing of the Poles, he said, ap- proximated that of the Russians at the time of their revolution.
 He said that, if the Polish peo- pie want to nationalize their in- dustries and introduce substantial lgrarian reforms, 1t would be a good thing. He added, however, that Russia had no intention of telling them what kind of gov-
