Food Situation Remains
Critical In PHILIPPINES

|anese occupation currency.
Two incidents give a measure of
the critical situation still prevail
ing:
A Filipino carrying half a sack
OF rice along street half a mile
from the Santo Tomas internment
camp was attacked by 30 carving
boys They slashed open the sack
and forced the man to surrender
half the rice.
Ten men pursued a man push
ing cart containing two sacks of
rice. He fled onto bridge just as
a Japanese demolition charge ex-
ploded. Man, rice and cart were
blown up.
In the months just before the
American entry, food prices soar
ed to absurd heights. The price of
a 110-pound sack of rice skyrocket-
ed from eight to 10000 pesos; to-
bacco cost II pesos for a small
handful and sugar scared to $4,000
pesos sack. A Filipino imitation
of Scotch whisky brought $4,000
pesos. The last known price of a

ITALIAN FRONTIER
STILL UNDECIDED

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-tR-
Acting Secretary of State Grew
disclosed today that the Italian
armistice leaves open complete
ly the question of Italy's from
tiers and colonies.
The surrender instrument does
not contain any provisions with
respect to future settlements, -
Grew said.
He added that in view "of the
co-belligerency of Italy it has not
been necessary to apply the terms
as originally drawn up
The armistice terms were sign
ed in September 1913.
Grew reiterated Allied state
ments promising all possible aid
to Italy and applauding the Italian
war effort.
"Italy's economy is being de-
voted to the prosecution of the
war in the same sense as is that
of the other countries fighting
Germany he declared.
The Italian armistice terms
never have been made public, al
though later pacts with Hungary.
Romania, Bulgaria and Finland
were published Immediately.
Grew said he could not publish
the text of the surrender terms
now because of Overriding mill
tary considerations"

While comparisons inevitably are

them expertly and to the complete

preached in the Peoples Highland
Park Congregational Church at the
II a. m. service, while Rev. J. D.
Hoy, pastor of the Peoples High

a message full of hope for the real

more than was expected on such a

The young people of our church

ment agencies were contacted and
their cooperation sought, the Court

for the hearings. There were no
''incidents"-but, of course, the
directives have not been issued yet.
It's too early to "crOw."
Dec. 30-We accused the War
Department of Sitting on" the
recommendation from overseas for
suitable award to Corp. Waverly
Woodson, D-day hero.
On Jan. "a, the War Department
announced the award of the Legion
of Merit to Corp. WOOdsOn, which
will be presented in fitting cere-
monies during the celebration of
Negro Newspaper Week. w
Jan. 1--we reported Sen. R. A.
Taft, Republican leader in the
Senate, had become lukewarm about
FEPC legislation.
On Feb. 2, a delegation of Ohio
citizens came to Washington to see
r. A. Taft about his stand on FEPC.
He told them he was opposed to
an FEPC with teeth and gave them
a lecture on the rapidity of Negro
progress.
Jan. Cove urged contributions
to the National Council for a
Permanent FEPC, now entering the
toughest phase of its fight.
On Jan. %, the first $500 came
to them as result, and $1.0O, $500

UncOvering
WASHINGTON
By Harry S. McAlpin

|
This weeks column rounds out &
year of un-cOvering Washington. II
seemed like a good time for reminis
cence.
Far be it from US to attach tc
these writings any unique and mys,
ferrous powers of influence. We dc
like to feel, however, that they had
some part in stirring to action
those influential persons and organ
izations who may want to claim
credit for some of the things that
happened after this column talked
about them.
ChrOnOlOgically, let's run through
a few such incidents.
In our column of June 8, we criti-
cized the failure of the Farm Secur-
ity Administration to fill the race
relations post vacated by Sam
Greer's enlistment in the Armed
Services. We plugged-a little
for L. Herbert Henegan, even
though he wasn't the choice of GER
tain advisers in the Department of
Agriculture.
On Sept. 16, the FSA filled the
Job by appointment of Jerome
Robinson. When Robinson left in
November to join the overseas staff
of UNRRA, who got the jOb?-
Henegan!
June 1--we were very much
burned up about the way some war
workers, Senators and Congress-
men made a mockery of democracy
on D-day. We took healthy poke
at the dearth of news of Negro
participation in D-day activities.
On July II, the War Department
sent Maj. Homer Roberts overseas
to work out plans for improved
news cOverage of the participation
of Negroes in the war.
July 8-We took apart the Negro
planks in the Republican platform
''The FEPC plank is left dangling in
the air." we said. Negroes are in
terested not only in the four-letter
symbol 'FEPC,' but in what kind
of an agency it will be-"
On Feb. 2, Sen. Taft bore out
our prophecy that the plank was
weak. He told an Ohio delegation
that he never intended it to mean
an agency with compulsory powers,
He was chairman of the Resolutions
Committee.
Sept. 9-Peace time, compulsory
military training was our subject.
"Should it come, God forbid that it
should be jim-crow," we declared.
In January of this year, Pres.
Roosevelt wrote the NAACP and
limited" that peacetime military
training may not be on a jim-crOw
basis.
Sept. % - We attacked the
Army's plan to take the Theresa
and Pershing Hotels in New York
and Chicago as redistribution cen
tiers and label them "For Negro
Soldiers"
On Oct. 8, the War Department
announced abandonment of its jim
crow plans. The Theresa and
Pershing were left unmOlested to
help serve the stringent housing
needs in their respective cOmmuni-
ties.
Oct. 14-That now-famous ex-
preston of 1t. Gen. Brehon Somer-
veil, "I'd like to throw the coons
into the middle of the DESERT" was
exposed by US. He was speaking
of Negro soldiers.
The first part of November, the
general issued a memorandum to
all camp and post commanders out
lining a progressive procedure for
lettering race relations.
Dec. 9 and 1--we criticized the

a significant service.

Rev. Nelson will deliver the first
of a series of sermons on "Our
Stake in This War from Christian
Point of View" at the II a. m.
service on Sunday. Parents, wives
and other relatives of the members
of the church who are in the armed
forces are to be the special guests
at this service.
The choir will go to the Border
Church in Minneapolis Sunday
afternoon to practice with the
choir of that church for the ap-
pearance that these choirs will
make at Methodist Twin City
Victory Crusade Rally in the
