About Relief
No matter how you look at it Gun
less you are 100 per cent "stew-in-
their-own-juicer") you have a sort
of vague feeling that we ought to do
what we can to help out people who
are starving or freezing no matter
where they are. I say that adj
visably and for proof turn to the
record.
One of the earliest memories of
my childhood is tagging up Main
Street on my mothers hand and see
ing dishpan in front of the "Silver
Dollar" (not the Originally filled with
dollar bills. My mother dropped in
quarter and hurried past the sim
lister abode. Passersby tossed in
their currency for the sufferers of
some Chinese famine or Italian
earthquake (perhaps Pompeii and
Herculaneum, I don't recalD.
America is always willing to go
down deep in its pockets for relief. :"
But it doesn't seem to like it if gov
eminent runs the show. Nobody on
Main Street knew how much of the
dishpan's contents reached the quak-
ing Italians or what-have-you and
how much never got past the "Silver
Dollars" back room, but nobody
cared.
On the other hand, even when the
money is triple-checked by the gov
eminent and investigated by the
opposition, if it is taken out of the
general kitty, Americans don't like
it. That's playing Santa Claus. When
they can shell out individually, it's
all right-which may be perfectly
logical from psychological view
point.
However this may be, your gov
eminent is going right ahead and
preparing a program for taking out
the wrinkles and concealing the ribs
of starving world just the same
it is also doing something more,
helping the starvers raise more of
their own food.
They are trying to organize the
job with the same business acumen

FAC Draws Up Plans for

Expanded Production, Increased Trade

Washington, d. G.
When the President introduced his
second bill Of rights into his State
of the Union message to congress
and skillfully linked the past and
future with it, he set up old argu-
ments among the elite of Washing
toms cracker-barrel set.
When "Old DR.. New Deal' was
set aside as the guardian of Amer
lean welfare, some folks hereabouts
insisted that he had plans for con-
siderably extending his practice lat
er-that his friend, Franklin D., was
planning on ''World New Deal"
Like all smoke, it signalizes fire
somewhere.
There is no doubt that even though
the realistic Mr.. Churchill and the
realistic Mr.. Stain didn't see eye to
eye on everything as they looked at
each other across the green table at
Teheran, we have reason to believe
that both are pretty well sold on
what they each think can be done
in the way of little International
"welfare work" which would raise
the decibels which measure the hum
of business in their respective coun-
tries.
The President presented to con-
gress the various human rights"
he visualized, as you recall, and
there will be more specific data con-
corning them which he will submit
to the legislators later, either just

FARM PRICES:
Supports Announced

Subject to congressional approval,
the War Food administration an
nounced support prices for "a prin-
cipal farm products, with the only
big decrease being the 81 per hum
dredweight for hogs effective Octo-
Der /.
Loans for corn and wheat would
be made at IS per cent of parity,
and for cotton, rice and tobacco at
80 per cent of parity. Potato sup
ports would be pegged at 80 per cent
of parity compared with 90 in 1913.
On a per bushel basis, support
prices would be higher on soybeans
by IA cents, faxseed 10 cents, bar
ley and grain sorghums 10 cents and
sweet potatoes 10 to 20 cents.
Peanut supports would be raised
by $40 ton, sugar beets $3.50 ton,
and sugar cane 80 cents a ton.

differences of opinion but Hambidge
puts it this way:
"Pa wants a certain kind Of en-
CINE. Ma has her eye on the up
holstery. Sis prefers a certain body
color. Junior-he's thinking about
the gadgets on the instrument panel.
But the main thing is-they all want
a car. They end up by getting one
that isn't quite what anybody ex-
pected-but one that's durable, and
a good buy, and gets them where
they want to 60.
SIN other words, they compromise.
Each one gives up his own pet ideas
to get car that will be serviceable
for the whole family.
"And that's what will happen, >"
says Hambidge, with the Food and
Agriculture organization. The In
term commission has been working
out a constitutional broad plan of
operation, showing what the organ
ization will do and how it will do it,
and a general budget, so we'll know
what the work will cost. Along about
March, probably, they will have
these plans ready to submit formally
to the 40-odd governments. If there's
quick approval - the organization
should be set up and ready to go
not too long after that"
Two things FAC is aiming at: ex-
banded production within the coun-
tries involved, and increased trade
between the countries involved.
Some countries, for instance, just
can't produce enough of the right
kinds of foods to feed their people
properly; others can produce GER
tain foods-like wheat, for instance
only at very great cost.
The FAC, it's members say, aims
to get away from the old isolationist
idea that prevailed almost every
where before the WARMTH every
country trying to meet all its own
needs which ended up with a smash
ing big depression and whopping
big war. What the FAC can do to
prevent such world catastrophes,
according to Hambidge, remains to
be seen.
That is what this very silent COM
mittee, or commission or whatever
you want to call it, is doing-making
an attempt at prophylaxis-an at
tempt to cure the disease instead of
the symptoms.

that business man would use on 1t.
Believe it or not, the men who are
figuring out free lunches and the
production programs to make them
unnecessary hereafter are doing it
scientifically, and even if you don't
like the word, on a "businesslike"
basis.
Little has been said of this per-
manent food organization of the
United Nations. You hear about
UNRRA, which is supposed to take
care of what might be called "stra-
tegic feeding"-that is, taking care
of the peoples in countries the Allies
reoccupy (hungry men and women
are no help to anyone). The motive
is less altruistic than military.
But you may not have heard of
the work of the FAO-that's an en-
tirely unofficial abbreviation of the
Food and Agriculture organization
which Cove Hambidge of the agri-
culture administration of the de-
partment of agriculture made up
himself. He was appointed one of
the secretaries of the commission
appointed at the conference in Hot
Springs last May.

CIVILIAN TIRES:
Less Predicted

Because chemical difficulties have
been encountered in processing oil
into synthetic rubber ingredients and
military requirements have in
creased, cutback in civilian tire
production from 30 to 20 million cas-
ings for 1914 doomed.
Production of heavy duty tires for
buses and trucks also was expected
to fall below expectations, since a
mixture of natural rubber is re-
quired for manufacture of these
castings and the natural rubber
stockpile has dropped to low level,
partly because of the failure of South
American growing programs to fully
develop.
The rubber pinch also has affect
ed recapping plans, with the govern
ment again specifying reclaimed
scrap for retreads.

RUSSIA:
Form, Trap

Fighting ragged on two widely sep
arated sectors of the 800-mile Rus
sian front, with the Reds tanning
out below Leningrad in the north,
and the Nazis communicating to
strengthen their position 80 miles
from the Rumanian border in the
south.
AS the Reds surged forward be-
low Leningrad, they chewed two big
holes in the Germans positions on
the northern and southern ends Of
this front, threatening to swing
toward each other and throw loop
around the enemy's rear.
Far to the south, the Germans
pushed slowly into Russian lines
above the Rumanian border, keep
ing massed Red armies off balance,
more than attempting any real
breakthrough. In Poland, Nazi re-
sistance stiffened.
Reject Mediation
The U. S. offer to mediate Russia's
claim to one-third Of prewar Poland
was rejected by the Reds, and the
situation became even more COM
plicated with Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden's declaration that
Great Britain could not recognize
any territorial changes made dur
ing the war without consent Of the
parties concerned.
Russia's rejection Of the U. S..
mediation bid emphasized Stalin's
disposition not to deal with the pres
ent Polish government in exile,
which he has accused Of strength
ening Germany by its requests that
an impartial commission inves-
tigate Nazi charges that the Reds
slew 10000 Polish officers near
Smolensk.

FEATHERS: The war has opened
a new market for a domestic prod
uct-chicken feathers. They are now
used for stuffing pillows and cush-
ions. Before the war, 80 per cent
of down feathers came from Europe
and China. These were mostly from
ducks and geese. New methods of
preparing chicken feathers make
them more sanitary, and softer than
formerly.

PETROLEUM WAKES:
Waterproofers

To help meet the military serv-
ices crying need for water and other
proofng, the petroleum industry pro-
duced 100000 tons of wakes in 1913,
a notable achievement since certain
crudes have a wax content of only
three-fourths of / per cent.
In 1914, emphasis will be placed
on production of micro-crystalline
wakes, which have proven especial
ly useful in packaging food rations
because thin coatings resist mois-
ture and the substance retains its
f1exibility in low temperatures.
Micro-crystallines are further useful
in proofing army shoes against mus
tard gases and protecting metal
parts from the elements.

To assure 1914 supplies, Nelson
said the War Production board was
seeking to secure sufficient molasses
and corn for distilleries, to persuade
the British to meet their own re-
quirements by processing molasses
from the Caribbean, and rushing new
grain alcohol plants to completion.
TELEPHONE RATES
Interstate telephone rates will be
reduced March l, by agreement be-
tween the Bell Telephone system and
the Federal Communications COM
mission. Subscribers will be saved
about eight million dollars a year,
it is estimated. Putting night long
distance telephone rates into effect
at 6 p. m. instead of Z p. m. will
account for most of the reduction,
or about 51s million dollars.
The remainder is accounted for by
a lowering of the overtime rate on
interstate teletypewriter service.

JAP ATROCITIES:
Death March

death March on Bataan"
In these four CHASTITY words, the
late Lieut.. Col William Dyess, who
led a party of officers and men in
escaping from Jap Imprisonment,
told still more CHASTITY story of hor-
ror and atrocity committed against
the heroic U. S. and Philippine de-
tenders of Bataan by the enemy.
On IS miles of road leading from
Bataan to San Fernando, Colonel
Dyess related in a war and navy
department release, U. S. and Fill
Pine troops plodded along from dawn
to dusk for six days, thirsting under
a piercing sun. Sick and delirious
were dragged from the struggling
columns and cruelty put to death. In
one instance, prisoners were forced
to bury three Americans and Fill
pinos alive at bayonet point.
Conditions in prison camps were
equally atrocious, the army and ma
wy report revealed. At one camp,
the death rate was 20 Americans and
$50 Filipinos day in the first week.
In the second week the rate jumped
to so Americans and 500 Filipinos
through starving and overwork.
Strike at Supplies
To make sure that there will not
be another Tarawa when doughboys
land in the Marshalls astride our
supply lines in the mid-Paciic, U. S.
bombers continued pounding defense
installations in the islands.
On New Britain, Allied bombers
struck hard at shipping in the port
of Rabaul, which feeds barges sup
plying Jap troops through coastal
depots.
With their bombers striking at en-
envy supply lines, U. S. troops drove
farther inland, both on New Guinea
and on Bougainville.
