Message From France

The first issue of Tricolor, the Ameri-
can edition of La France Libre, has just
been published. 1t is one of five editions,
the others being printed in London,
Cairo, Agiers, and in Paris, where it is
circulated by the underground.
The very look of the magazine sets it
apart from the other expatrite publica-
tons of occupied countries. The formal
is distinctive and interesting. The pho
tographic Illustrations have been chosen
with imagination The sketches match a
great deal of the writing in bitter sar-
casm. Reading this Vol. l. No. l, there is
a feeling that here is truer picture OF
France under the NaziS than can be
found in ream of dispatches from
Algiers. Tricolor tells not only story
of struggle against oppression. There is
a biting memoir of Yvette Guilbert; five
hitherto untranslated letters of Marcel
Proust; profile of the aged painter
Pierre Bonnard and his life under the
Nazis.
There is much of the France that
Americans knew, even though the silent,
struggling France of today is more re-
mote from America as the magazine
points out-than at any time in this
nations history. The stories leave the
impression that, almost as bad as torture
and hunger and tyranny, must be the
maddening irritation of living under the
stupid regulations of the superior race"
There are accounts of the clumsy cajolery
with which the occupying forces try to
win over Frenchmen to collaboration, and
the effrontery of square-headed Prussions
debating taste" in their own arts.
And there are some interesting, if in
direct, comments on American foreign
policy as it affects France - practically
the first good words that have been said
for it, A few:
"The war of resistance is not cam
paign fought to elect one party or one
man. Our leaders are in France, and
there they must and will remain. -. The
men inside Europe will not show enthusl-
asm when those who lived in foreign
lands try to judge and direct internal
affairs" All of which suggests that our
policy of leaving General Eisenhower
free to deal with persons inside France,
once liberation has begun, will have
support.

now would be a great mistake, and
that to meet the sugar demands of

CONGRESS AND OIL
(Hartford Courant)


Senator Francis T. Maloney, Con-
necticut's senior member of the up
per chamber and chairman of the
special Committee on Petroleum
Policy, spoke an obvious truth, but
none the less a vitality important
one, when he warned that the
grave and far-reaching" effect of
oil on the future security of this
nation calls for candid and open
minded cooperation" of government
and industry. Early in May the
Committee will begin hearings from
which it hopes to secure informa-
ton on which to recommend a
petroleum policy designed to ssure
this country of an adequate post
war supply of gasoline and fuel oil.
The first witness will be the Sec
rotary of the Interior, Harold L..
Ickes, who will tell his story of the
proposed 1250-mile Saudi-Arabian
pipeline to be subsidized by a grant
of $150,000,000 from the Petroleum
Reserves Corporation over which
Mr.. Ickes also presides.
| In regard to that oil deal Ameri-
can and British diplomats are meet
ing in Washington this week to
work formula for an international
oil business embodying the princi-
pies of the Atlantic Charter. The
primary task before the conferees
is to reach an understanding con-
corning the intentions of the United
States in the Middle Eastern oil
fields. Since Mr.. Ickes announced
his plan on February 6, British Pc
troleum interests on the British
Government have made no attempt
to conceal their anxiety over the
invasion of the Mideast by the
United States. And very properly
there have been criticism and sus-
picion Of the project right here in
the United States. The secrecy with
which Mr.. Ickes had clothed his
actions was Of itself sufficient JUS
LITIGATION for the apprehension that
has prevailed at home and abroda.
But the danger OF the United
States being involved without the
consent of the people, in the bick-
erings, chickering's and quarrels of
the Mideast - the crossroads of the
wordsworth seem to be declining.
Senator Maloney, on behalf of his
Committee, has plainly announced
that Congress will write its own oil
policy rather than "formalize by
legislation a policy previously de-
termined by Others" Secretary OF
state Corden Hull has assured the
Committee that he and other heads
Of Departments will consult Con-
gress in advance of any final COM
mitments," including any to &c
ahead with the Saudi-Arabian pipe.

American History

A complete revision of American history
teaching methods in the schools and
colleges of the country was recommended
last week at conference of the Missis
sippi Valley Historical Association and
the National and Missouri Councils for
the Social Studies held in st. Louis. There
has been considerable agitation along
these lines of late years; longer and bet
ter courses in United States history have
been urged in many sections of the coun-
try among educators.
The plan presented last week would
entail revision of text books, obtain
better teachers, and present more mature
history programs in the schools. The
changing trends brought about by two
wars within thirty year period natural
" call for considerable change in history
courses. When and if the reviSionS are
outlined it will call for careful study and
work ia the formulation Of the program.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

Just as sure as there are death and
taxes, hell and birthstone, and war, so,
too, there are trees and birds. So the
governor of the state and other governors
have set aside May IL as Arbor and Bird
Day. AS Former Governor Cross said in
1933-"At this season when all nature is
awakening and buds are stirring and
birds are returning to our fields and
meadows" in similar vein Governor Bald
win says in his 1914 message: "As the
warm sun each day climbs to a higher
place in the Heavens and winter passes
into spring; the red in the lowland
naples and the purple in the birches on
the hills, the freshening green every
where, with the song of the robin at dawn
and at dusk, all remind us of the re-
awakening OF nature for another year OF
growth" These are pleasant things to
contemplate as the day set aside ap-
breaches.

Views Of The Press
NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY
(Hartford Times)


An anniversary of much signific-
ance occurred the other day of
which is would seem that this news
paper certainly should take note. It
was the Tooth of the establishment
of the Springfield Republican as a
daily paper, it was founded as a
weekly in 1924.
Because of the newsprint shortage

tice. 1t is pity that it could not
have done far more, and have given
Springfield an edition which its
hundred years of observation of the
city's life and events would have
made possible, besides an adequate
story of it's own career.
The Times has a right to be par
ticularly interested since the Repub-
lican owes its existence directly to
this newspaper. Samuel Bowles, who
found the weekly Republican in
1924, was one of the publishers of
The Hartford Times prior to that
time. Observing the success Of this
newspaper, which was dedicated to
Jacksonian and Jeffersonian prin-
ciples of government, a group Of
Springfield citizens feeling the need
for a similar journal in their COM
munity invited Mr.. Bowles to sur
vey the situation and make recon-
mendations. He did so, and decided
to accept their backing and estab-
ish the wanted paper himself.
Thus, the Republican was launch
ed upon its influential and import
ant career which is now going in5e
the second century Of daily publ
cation. The story is well known as
to how Mr.. Bowles put printing
press, type and his household goods
on a flat boat and had them poled
up the river to Springfield. That
method Of moving suggests the cru
dities Of newspaper publishing as
well as Of living in that day and
adds to the romance Of the Repub-
leans STORY
The Bowles family has continued
in the ownership of The Republican
ever since and The Times has al
ways had a friendly interest in 1t.

influence have been notable and i'm

Selected Poem
POND PROPHET

POND PROPHET
(After reading Thoreau)
(Adin Ballou in The Christian Science Monltor)
frog is springs wise scanner OF the weather;
He utters no vague guess wrong predictions.
Two frogs can put their brookside heads together,
And make the south wind follow their convictions.
A frogs part of earth and knows earths changes
His life relaxes with the thaWing ground;
He tunes his vocie and fluently arranges
The melting pitch Of April, by its sound.
In their home ponds, frogs know rise and falling;
They play quicksilver to the warming sun.
They never wait to hear the wood doves calling,
Before they count the rain drops, one by, one;
And by infections Of their cosmic croak,
Declare the best barometer a joke

visable only when the gangrene WILL
destroy SO much tissue that a non
functioning foot will be the OUT
come. Pain is no indication for am
putation.
The patient with Buerger's disease
should never sit with foot hanging
down, but always keep the leg hori-
zontal or, perhaps, elevated little
above hip level.
Injections of about ten fluid
ounces of hypertonic Is per cent?
solution of sodium CHLORIDE into the
veins every alternate day, is prob
ably the best way to supply a suf-
fcient amount of fluid to the tissues
affected. Or the fluid may be adj

patient believe I would too.
The blood calcium content was
below normal in all cases studied
by DR.. Harry J. Gray Med. Bull. Vet.
Admin, July, 'S4).
DR.. Buerger himself recommends
this exercise:
1.-The affected limb is elevated,
with the patient lying in bed, to
from sixty to ninety degrees
above horizontal, being allowed
to rest upon support for from
80 seconds to three minutes, the
period being the minimum time
necessary to produce blanching.
"As soon as blanching is es-
tablished, the patient allows the
fot to hang down over the edge
of the bed for from two to five
minutes, until reactionary n.y.
peremia or rubor (reddening) sets
in, the total period of time being
about one minute longer than
that necessary to establish good
red color :.
1.-THE limb is then placed in the
horizontal position for about
three to flvem inutes, during
which time an electric heating
pad or a hot water bag is APP
piled, care being taken to prevent
occurrence of a burn.
1.-THE placing Of the limb in
these three successive positions
constitutes a cycle, the duration
of which is usually from six to
ten minutes. These cycles are
repeated over period Of about
one hour"
A daily half hour Of medical di-
athermy, using a foot plate and
