MOVE IS ESSENTIAL
FOR WINNING OF WAR
Roosevelt Says Millions Of
Americans Not Yet
in This War

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.--A five
point program, headed by enactment
OF a National Service Law. was today
recommended by President Franklin
D. Roosevelt in q message to Con-
gress.
The President proposes National
Service Act for the duration to pre-
vent strikes and with some excep-
tions make available for war pro-
duction or any other essential serv-
ices, every able-bodied adult In this
nation"
Four Recommendation
The other four points in the Presi-
dents recommendations include the
following
"A realistic tax law.
Continuation Of the law per-
hitting Of renegotiation Of war
contracts.
Cost Of food law.
"Reenactment Of the Economic
Sterilization Act which expires
next June 80"
National Service Necessary
President Roosevelt In his message
said he is convinced the lsa.lu4l.4i
Service Act is necessary and de-
clared. Although / am convinced
we and our Allies can win the war
without such a measure, am GER
tain nothing less than a total mob
ilization Of manpower, capital and
resources guarantee an earlier vic
tory"
Supporting hts argument for a
National Service Act, the President
said there are millions Of Americans
who are mot In this war at all"
The act, the President further
says. will be the means by which
every man and woman could make
the fullest contribution to victory.
Realistic Tax Law"
President Roosevelt described the
Realistic Tax Law" as the first
point on his legislative list, as one
which will tax all unreasonable
profits, both individual and cor
porate and reduce the ultimate cost
OF the war. The Revenue Bill now
before Congress. the President said,
which will yield only about one-fifth
of what the Administration seeks,
does not start to meet this test.

LONDON, Jan. ia clear warn
ing that the Russians will not yield
the Ukrainian White Russian ter
ritories incorporated into the Soviet
Union in 1889 came from the Soviet
government, which, at the same time
reaffirmed the desire for strong
independent Poland to be rebuilt in
the areas wrested from Germany
and assuring her an outlet to the
Baltic Sea.
In an official declaration broad
cast ON the Moscow radio, the Rus
slams offered the "Curzon Line" OF
1919 as a possible basis of a new
Russian Polish border. This would
leave the Soviet Union in possession
of all but $500 square miles of the
Polish territory the Red Army occu-
pied under the 1899 Soviet German
partition of Poland.
The Soviet declaration asserting
that Russia is striving towards the
establishment of friendship between
the Soviet Union and Poland on the
basis of solid, good neighborly rela-
tions and mutual respect" also sug-
gested that Poland could join the
Soviet Union and Czechoslovakla in
a bulwark against the Germans by
becoming a party to the Soviet
Czech mutual assistance pact re-
Gently signed at Moscow.

guage in referring to the Polish Gov
eminent in Exile in London. assert
ing the "emigre Polish government

fishing friendly relations with the

There is wide but unconfirmed
belief that the Moscow declaration

The W ashington
Merry Co Round
BY DREW PEARSON
(nsjor Robert .. Allen ON active duty.)

WASHINGTON-The question OF
food for Russia has caused many
dramatic scene in the offices OF the
Food Distribution Administration.
Officials work in complete harmony
but not always in complete under
standing
One thing U. s. officials could not
understand was why the Russians
wanted lump sugar A request came
through from Moscow for 100000
tons of sugar, and U. S. officials
began to figure where they could
get it. It was quite job, but IL
nally they decided they could I'LL
the order.
Then they ran into the odd angle
that the Soviets wanted 80 percent
of the total to be lump or cube
sugar.
"Oh, come now" said U. S. Of
ficials to Russian representatives
in Washington I'VE have found
the British to be choosey now and
then, with their requests for pork
in certain loin cuts of certain
weight, but this is worse than the
British. Why lump sugar?'
The Russians said, 1T is for the
Red Army"
YES, but isn't graduated sugar
just as good?"
TT is a cable from Moscow said
the Russians, and that was that.
We'll do what we can" said Food
Distribution, and promptly sent a
cable to the U. S. Embassy in Mos

Russian soldiers needed lump sugar.
