To Aid Soldiers

The mission of the Division
will be to provide all possible
information and assistance on
personal affairs to all Army
personnel and their dependents, in
cluding former members of the
Army and their dependents, within
their respective and adjacent ei-
villain communities.
1t has been noted by the Ninth
Service Command, as well as by
this headquarters, that soldiers and
their dependents frequently have
suffered from lack of knowledge of
Army assistance for which they
were eligible. The function OF the
newly formed Division will be to
clarity all phases of the Army's per-
sonal aid program and to make
available to individual soldiers all
of the benefits which belonging to
the Army affords.
Categorical Aids Listed
The a-b-c's of the new Personal
Affairs Division were outlined by
the Post Commander who pointed
out that some of the things about
which most soldiers are in q con-
slant quandry include: pensions.
last wills and testaments, govern
ment life insurance and claims, fl
nancial matters such as pay, ar
rears in pay, relief to dependents
and survivors of deceased soldiers
and power of attorney.
Soldiers have been loathe to take
these matters up with their chap
lains and they have not been suffi-
GENTLY clarified through their or
ganization headquarters.
The formation of the new Divi-
sion is aimed to put an end to that
situation
Women Aides Needed
Services of civilian women on the
Post with free time to devote to
serving on the Volunteer Women's
Committee is solicited. Their names
may be turned in at the Post Chap
lain's office and they will be able
to assist along with such members

More About Food

Fruit and vegetable buyers in the New York City area are threatening new kind of blow against the black market They have notified produce receivers that if illegal practices don't stop by January IS, they will apply what they call "blitz boycott" This will be a concerted agree ment to refrain from buying scarce or desirable item if receivers are asking above-ceiling prices or forcing the tle-ln purchase of unwanted produce with the sale. The buyers will select one item at a time that is too perishable to reship elsewhere The produce will rot, and the receiver will take dead loss It's as simple as that.
 Overcharges and tie-in sales have been going on for more than year. It has been spreading evil, and the OPA hasn't had enough inspectors to stop it. Buyers have chosen to put up with it rather than ieopardize their sources of scarce supply. Protection for both retailers and cons1m- CTS from such gouging is long overdue: And it looks as if the 'blitz boycott" migh provide it.
 Perhaps if buyers in other city mar kets would take tip from their New York brethren, the interchangeable black market at least might be consider ably curtailed.

KNOW THY NEIGHBOR
(New York Herald-Tribune)

The emergence of Russia as a major world power, an essential ally both in war and in peace. has thrown into embarrassing relief our pathetic ignorance of the Soviet Union. Elsewhere on this page Jo- seph Barnes, foreign editor of this newspaper, inaugurates brief series of authoritative articles which discuss the handicaps under which we labor through lack of trained personnel in this field and the means by which they. can be elim- mated. Our handicaps will con- tinue, in diplomacy and in con- merce and in the less tangible but vital sector of cultural understand ing, until a sound tradition Of American scholarship in Slavic studies has been developed. Where Germany had stolen the lead and Britain had set out 10 overtake her, we were caught far from the start ing linc, unaware that the race had begun. The problem is not simply a matter of language courses, al- though they will prove difficult enough in all conscience. but of broad and accurate knowledge, so that the language becomes a tool sharpened by genuine comprehen- sion. The immediate and growing need for suct a program is a chal- longing opportunity for American higher education.

Whole Hog or Nothing

The type of thinking dominant in many government agencies marked a recent speech of the Secretary of Agriculture, when he said: "We must look upon the furnishing of electricity to rural patrons as an opportunity for service rather than as means for making profit" He then revealed that the Rural Identification Administration proposes the expenditure of nearly siX-hundred-million dollars of the taxpayers money over three-year period in the construction of transmits sion lines and the purchase of such ex- isting private utility systems as the REA may desire, rural and urban alike.
 Commenting upon the speech, the Oklahoma City Times says: He care fully omitted saying that when the Fed eral government takes over a city power plant the property immediately goes off the tax rolls, except for a minor token payment, and the taxpayer has to make up the difference This, at the same time, produces unfair competition against pri- vate enterprise, which must continue paying taxes.
 :. \. For every farmer in an isolated district who may be temporarily bene- fitted by this socialistic expedient of furn- ishing a commodity at less than cost, at the taxpayers expense there will be hun- dreds who will eventually suffer, because it will mean being pushed around more than ever by the socialistic and central ized government at Washington"
 If ''the opportunity for service is to be the controlling factor in electrifying farms, the same principle should apply to the produce that comes off the farm. Ger tainly the opportunity for service" is much greater where food is concerned than in the case of electricity If we are to abandon the profit system in the United States, we should abandon it whole hog and not just piecemeal,

When Will They Learn

In liberating France from the social ism of Hitler, it now appears that the Allies have cleared the way for more of the same medicine, only administered by different political doctors. In other words, government dictation over the industries and people of France may be continued. This is the opinion of a re- Sponsible spokesman of the American oil industry now visiting the European war; fronts.
 After pointing out that the threat of socialism may delay rehabilitation Of French industry because foreign irl- vestors, principally American and British, will hesitate to risk savings in country where the whims and exigencies of poli- tics may wipe them out, the same spokes- man warns: 'The average oil man and the average American has considered that he and his domestic business were so remote from foreign affairs that he need not pay attention to them.
 "But here in France decision is go- ing to be made that can soon, perhaps, be cited against the American oil mans own business If the various dominant French groups pursue their present trend and place stricter and more complete control over the oil industry in France with the knowledge and even the acqul- essence of the U. s. government, then how soon will the American oil man be told by various people in his own gov ernment, of the alleged beauties Of French ownership or operation of the oil industry?"
 How much longer, with the tragedy and devastation of autocratic govern ment spread mutely at their feet, will the people of the world continue to look to such government for leadership?
