"All men are equal in the sight
OF God ."
Thus spoke Father Bernard Burke
Of the Capuchin Fathers St. Bona

that during the darkest days OF
the depression men Of all races
and colors received aide from the
Capuchin Charity Guild. founded

the work OF feeding Gods poor"
And even as he spoke, aged and
helpless white and colored men fled
into the huge dining room to be
fed
Much has been written about the
Capuchin Fathers and the work
of their Charity Guild. but the
story that was never told came to
light last Saturday as reporters
learned, first from Sheriff Andrew
w. Baird. and then from Father
Burke, how the Guild fed Negroes
along with whites. with no ques-
ton asked as TO race or religion.
Negroes Share Responsibility
Sheriff Baird, secretary OF the
Capuchin Charity Guild, had in
vited reporters 10 the Monastery
to witness the presentation OF a
war bond TO Rev James Jones,
pastor of Triumph church.
Some time ago." Sheriff Baird
explained, I'VE started drive to
raise $4,000 TO purchase and in
stall refrigeration equipment for
the kitchen operated at the Monas-
terry by the Charity Guild. ! knew
that colored and white men alike
had benefited by the work OF the
Capuchin Fathers. and knew that
colored people would want to share
the responsibility for the operation
OF the kitchen.
IL called on Reverend Jones to
help us raise the funds 10 purchase
the refrigerators and when the
drive closed on Feb. 81, We found
that Reverend Jones was the largest
single contributor, 10 this worthy
cause. He made a personal con-
tribution OF $500 to the Capuchin
Fathers and we are presenting him
a war bond in recognition OF his
service"
Fed 1000 A Day
Established in 1923. there have
been times when the Capuchin Fa-

Competing Agencies

Since these agencies are com peting against each other for linn ited quantities, they tend to go before the hard boiled WIPE Re- quirements Committee with high CT demands than actually needed, so that they will still get what they need if their demands are cut.
 If the Navy, for instance, asks for a huge quantity of steel for warships, it has to back this up with a schedule showing when and how many ships are to be de- livered. If the quantity of steel is inflated, then the schedule of ships also has to be set higher

 Europe never did recover eco nomically from the last war, he said. and this must be considered in the peace aims following this conflict. he said. because the eco homie situation of al of Europe is reflected by that Of Germany.

 Ii is most important that the German nation be gwen opportun- ity for economic recovery and prosperity and not subjugation. Certain rearmament must be pre- vented. he said, but there must be no reparations like those fixed following the last war.

Forum Holds Meeting

A liberal, democratic attitude toward a defeated Germany upon the part of the United Nations at the peace table, was favored by Cpl. Philip Zimmerman at the second forum discussion on The Postwar World at the high school Monday night
 Cpl. Zimmerman, who spent most of his life in England, and was educated there, was the prin- cipal speaker on the topic. What Part Shall the Axis Powers Have in the Postwar World?n. His opin- ions dealt entirely with the status of Germany following the United Nations victory.
 A large number of persons at tending the gathering took part in the discussion at the close of the meeting, and many interesting ideas were advanced as to the treatment of the German nation when the Allies win.
 The speaker stressed two points during his talk, dwelling on them as most important in considering any peace moves.
 First, the United Nations must reach full agreement on all poli- cies of peace and following it up with direct, concerted action. Second, they must allow and even encourage. the defeated coun- tries to ,re-establish themselves economically, thereby aiding all nations in the world reconstruc- ton.
 The people of Alaska represent the pioneer spirit of early Amer ica, the speaker said. Further more. they are not swamped by the much and varied propaganda. But it is important, he said. that they, as much as. anyone, reach certain conclusions as to what they want to see in the postwar world

ence, it beats down the dollar value goal.
 For instance, 1000 105 nm guns might be scheduled at $15,0OO each. Once the guns are rolling off the production line, however, the cost drops to S11, 500. On the overall schedule, this would show up as a S3,500,O00 decrease although the quantity has been met fully.
 The difference between the of ficial schedules and the real need starts back where thei critical ma terials, such as steel, copper and aluminium, are divided among the various claimant agencies Army, Navy, Maritii1e Commission,

than needed.
 On top of this, Navy schedules are not meant to be realistic, but are purposely set high as an in centive for the shipyards. Lack of Realism While this lack of realism does not affect the material allocation, it adds to the inflated schedule and results in continuous failure 10 meet the goals.
 Aircraft schedules are another example of a goal never to be at ,ained. They are deliberately p;lt as much as Is per cent out of reach so the manufacturer will try to exceed the estimated ca pacity of his plant. Aircraft schedules have been revised" at least three times this year-down- wards.
 Schedules, therefore, are not hard-and-fast total that must be met. That isn't to say they can be ignored or that producing i'm possible numbers of war weapons wouldn't help shorten the war. If il were possible to turn out say 10000 Flying Fortresses .. month the war would be soon won: and the claimant agencies can usually whip up a good argument to jus tify their high demands.
 Some way of measuring our progress in war production is nec- essary and schedules work fairly well within their limitations. The main danger is their too-literal acceptance as the key to our home-front effort. The battlefield results are perhaps the best indi- cation of how good our produc- tion really is.
