Dean Acbes0nUrges
Postwar Relief
CO-OberatiOn
By Gretchen Smith.

The necessity of United Nations
cooperation in postwar relief and
the rehabilitation of devastated Eu-
rope and parts of Asia was empha-
sized by Dean Acheson, Assistant
Secretary of State, in a luncheon
address before the Women's Ma
tional Democratic Club yesterday.
Mr.. Acheson, who presided as
chairman of the United Nations Re-
lief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton Council at the recent Atlantic
City conference, declared that ere
lief work must be done in Europe,
otherwise millions will die" With
out united relief lit would take two
generations to recover" he added.
Approximately 10000, 900 people in
Europe and 100000 900 in Asia have
been transferred from their homes
to work for the enemy. the speaker
pointed out. All food and materials
have been taken over by the enemy
also, he continued, and the stand
ards of living of the people have
been reduced to minimum. Even
this minimum now directed by the
enemy will collapse upon the termi-
nation of hostilities and the people
will have to begin anew, he COM
mented
Some one must be ready to bring
in goods, without which the people
will die," he emphasized.
Danger of Disease Great.
Danger of pestilences and disease
will be great, Mr.. Acheson asserted.
Millions Of persons will attempt to
return to former homes, carrying
with them nearly every known dis
ease" he said.
The work of UNRRA should be
looked upon merely as an emergency
to take care OF the period between
the time when fighting stops and
reconstruction begins, the speaker
declared. The work will be so great
it would be impossible for one ma
ton alone to carry the burden, but
with ! per cent of the annual in
come Of each Of the United Nations
as a contribution, the needed relief
and rehabilitation work can be car
ried forward, he added.
Checks Already Sent.
Several nations have already sent
checks for relief to Gov. Herbert
Lehman, director general of
UNRRA. Mr.. Acheson said, while
in this country members of Congress
have appeared entirely sympa-
thetic" toward a resolution now
under consideration authorizing
contribution from the United
States.
In reply to questions at the con-
clusion of his talk, Mr.. Acheson ex-
pressed approval of cooperation by
private agencies with the relief work
of UNRRA.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Henry Grady, chairman of
the Education Committee, who has
planned a series of programs at
which problems of UNRRA will be
studied and placed before members
OF the club. Prominent guests at
tending the luncheon included Mrs.
Henry Morgenthau, wife of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury; Miss Fran
ces Perkins, Secretary of Labor
Secretary OF Agriculture; Mrs. Wiley
Rutledge, Mrs. Paul McNutt, Mrs
Tom Connally, Mrs. Herbert Leh-
man, Mrs. Ellen Woodward and Mrs.
Dean Acheson, wife Of the speaker.

Grafton but the Widow Douglas
This is a email error, to be sure, but
1t is in a way a relevant one. For
DR.. Brogan has his facts right
enough, but, by about a compar-
ably small margin are they out of
focus, out of relation to one an
other. Looking at his synthesis of
our national life is much like look
ing at a photograph of oneself as
sembled from separately photo
graphed features. You recognize
your eyes, your nose, your arms,
feet and hair, but you don't quite
recognize the ensemble. Yet you
would not say, either, that it was
not good likeness.
Well, after going in this manner
over our puritanism, our go-getting-
ism, our provincialism, our hesitant
culture. our famous idealism and so
on. DR.. Brogan concludes that it is
only as Americans that Americans
can contribute to future world state
and calls on us to learn to know
other peoples. Both points seem
unexceptionally reasonable. As said,
the reviewer recommends the vol

Anac0stian Spends
Summer Workine
In Print SHOP
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By James A. Lemon, II,
Anacostia High School.

This past summer, I decided to
learn more about my hobby-print-
ing-and got job in print shop.
The first morning, I thought I'd
be the first one there, and I was
by two or three hours. When the
other employees finally arrived they
went about their various duties
without paying the slightest at
tention to me. I just stood around
wondering what to do. Then the
foreman came, and the next few
moments found me wearing an
apron, holding broom in one
hand and rag in the other, and
receiving instructions to sweep the
floor, wash the basin and empty
all the waste-baskets. That's learn
ing printing from the ground floor
up!
Besides these chores, I put towels
on the rack, counted finished print
ing jobs, stacked them for wrap
ping, punched holes in stationery,
moved and sorted stock, sorted leads
and slugs, and distributed and tied
type. That was as close as got
to learning the trade.
Then two other boys were hired.
The boss told me they were printers
and would give me some real COM
petition. So, to show him that /
could do as we'll as they, nearly
knocked myself out working twice
as fast as usual. only to ind that
one boy had never even seen Q
print shop, and the other had Just
worked in very small one.
However, If I had the whole sum.
mer to live over. and school were
just letting out, instead of begin
ming, would do 1t again.
