Jones Locks
Cupboard Door

Food Administrator Jones knew
about what could actually be shipped
abroad and how much was needed
at home and he was able, with the
help Of the sweating tillers of the
soil, to conjure 1t out Of terra firma.
Then all Of a sudden things began
to happen, and the demands on I'm
Gle Sans larder began to swell in
such proportions that Jones said 1t
would be bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard IL all the hungry folk got
there before he locked the door.
''There just isn't that much food
In the world" one Of Jones' lieu
tenants told the newsmen.
There Is something about the busi-
ness of sowing and reaping, Of breed
ing and feeding, Of blowing, harrow
ing and thrashing that just can't
be hurried. Jones knows that. The
President knows Jones knows It and
SO he listened to Jones.
The edict went out, no more food
shipped to anybody anywhere, ex-
cept for the army and navy and the
Neutrality-suspicious. 1end-lease ship
ments, until 1t is approved by COM
mittee composed Of the agencies
who take the food and the one which
produces It. This committee is pre-
sided over by Leo Crowley, the Pres
ident's No. / trouble shooter. The
army, the navy, the shipping admin
istration and the food administrator
are members Of that committee.
Besides feeding its own mouths
the army has to feed the people in
the battle areas in which It lives.
You have to maintain the economy
of those areas If you live and fight
in them. The Germans had to do
it and that is why when they depart
ed (taking everything movable with
them) the liberated areas were
worse off as far as eating went than
they were before. As our army
moves forward more and more
areas must be fed.
Also as they move ahead and lose
interest in the economy OF the areas
farther back, or as countries be-
come completely liberated as
France, Belgium, and most of the
Balkans have been, food is essen
tial to keep the peace.
There is nothing so conducive to
revolution and civil strife generally
as an empty stomach. The function
Of alleviating the distress in these
countries falls to UNRRA which so
far has not been able to do much.
One reason for this, which applies
also to countries which don't need
borrowed food, but can buy it, is the

MIDNIGHT CURFEW:
NetU York in Line

Having enjoyed an extra hour Of
night frolicking for few days, New
York's milling merrymakers found
themselves out on the streets at mid
night again, following the amuse-
ment owners decision not to take
advantage of Mayor La Guardia's
one hour extension of the govern
ment's IL a. m. curfew, imposed to
conserve fuel and manpower.
First accepting La Guardia's one
hour reprieve in the face of wide
spread criticism, the amusement
owners own hands were forced
when both the army and navy or
dered their personnel to leave the
nighteries at midnight in obedience
to the government regulation.
Before the New Yorkers decided to
close their doors, War Mobilization
Director Byrnes said it was impos-
sible for the government to enforce
the midnight curfew, since it lacked
the police necessary.

Better Late Than Never

If the well-fed, well-housed people of De-
uoit particularly Christian people, knew
more about the conditions under which the
underprivileged families OF this city are
forced to liNe. we believe steps would be
promptly taken to improve the situation.

Detroit housing situation has been acute
for a long time. particularly for colored citi-
zens. Federal appropriations have been
made for the erection of additional housing
projects, but every site suggested has been
vciouSly opposed by whites who protested
against Negro housing projects being built
near then venitieS. and the Jeffries admin
istration has done nothing TO alleviate this
situation
At last however the Detroit daiies have
launched a vigorous crusade against the dis
graceful slum conditions under which so
many underprivileged families are forced to
live herded together They are endeavoring
to arouse public sentiment 10 the seriousness
