ment of agriculture first sponsored
the program because that depart
ment controlled the surplus food
then used for these programs. When
it got going and had proved it's value
to children, the Office of Education
began trying to get control of the
school lunch program, stating that
it was the logical agency. Strong
lobbies presented the case to con-
gress and for awhile it looked as
if the office of education would win
out. But agriculture was the even
tual victor, and now school lunches
are continued. But, under the new
rulings, there must be more COOP

er Negroes may participate than
before. The need for this program
has been proved, but the interest of
Negro sponsors has been lacking.
Few Negro organizations have
availed themselves of the opportun-
ity to sponsor these programs, al
though they have taken part in 9th
er efforts. There are large fraternal
organization qualified to sponsor
school lunch programs which have
turned deaf ears to almost direct
appeals.
One of the most difficult prob
lens in education is to teach chill
dren on empty stomachs. All of the
scholarships in the world are use
less unless food foundation is first
laid.
These Negro organizations with
bulletins reaching hundreds of pro-
fessional personages have ignored
the possibilities of spreading the
doctrine of school lunches.
The former stigma of "relief"
had much to do with this, but under
new regulations, this has been abol-
ished. While it is true that in places
where the school lunch operates, no
child can be denied a lunch because
he can't pay for it, that child re-
ceives all the protection in the
world and no other children can
taunt him with the fact that he is
unable to pay for the lunch.
The government agencies have
been striving to control the pro-
gram, which disagreement certainly
has not been of help. The depart

FEDERAL SCHOOL LUNCH Bill
TO AID NEGROES If
ORGANIZATIONS HELP

WASHINGTON, July ZS (ANP)
Provision for the poor rela-
tives" in the sisterhood of states
was made by understanding sena-
tors from those states when the
School Lunch bill, permanent, was
passed.
Under the provision of the bill,
$100,000,00O was appropriated for
this purpose. This is 100 percent in
crease over former bills but the
catch is that the states must match
the money appropriated by the gov
ernment for that state on a pro-
gressive scale.
The first year, the state must put
up S1.50 for each dollar the federal
government appropriates. This rises
to So after a period of time, but
provision is made that the states
whose income does not match that
of other states will not be required
to put up as much money, yet will
receive the same consideration as
do other states.
Negroes have benefited by
these programs where they were
administered but there has been an
attempt to make individual groups
responsible for conducting lunch
programs rather han school
boards. In this manner, fewer Ne
groes have participated in recent
years than formerly when the gov
ernment ran the whole show.
At one time, more than one mil
lion Negro children, largely in the
south, benefited by the program.
Under new regulations and set-ups,
the number has decreased.
Under the present program, few

for Negroes to set up their own

 Regrets; Three Teachers Also Resign

Resignation of Education Com- missioner Joseph A. DeLuca, who will move to Naugatuck at the end of this month, was accepted with regret" by the Board of Education at it's meeting last night.
 Mayor John s. Monagan, presid- ing at the session, remarked that the board members would miss the commissioner, and wished him hap piness and success.

The remarks were in- corporated into the minutes of the meeting.
 Teachers Resign
 Designations of three teachers were accepted. Names of the teach- CTS, Lillian A. Bronson of Slocum school, Margaret A. Delaney oi Duggan school, and Julie A. Suli- van of Driggs school. will be placed on the city pension list. The teach- CTS will retire at the close of the present school year

 Who are the beneficiaries of this school transportation tax?" MT. OConnor asks. Primarily it is the child and secondarily it is the state that is actually benefited. It direct ly aids the child in getting an edu- cation; 1t also helps that State by producing or tending to produce a more enlightened and useful citi- gen."

 Four hundred Polish priests have been deported in the first three months of this year. Most of them have been religious from monster ies, priests not in daily contact with the people and so not likely to be missed as readily as the parish priests with whom the Government has on the whole been cautious.

Breton Woods Plans Imperfect, Inadequate
Congressman Voorhis of California Gives Frank Ap=
 praisal of Agreement; Questions Gold Currency

For anyone to say that Breton Woods is perfect would be foolish, !" according to the Hon. Jerry Voor- his, representative from California in the current issue of Tomorrow magazine. ITO indicate that it will be in any degree adequate would be positively dangerous. What can be said is that it will for the first time in history take the control over international monetary problems and over international lending out of the hands of the international banking interests ard place it in the hands of the governments Of nations where 1t belongs
 The most serious objection to Breton Woods, he believes is the requirement. that the currencies of nations be originally valued in terms of gold. It would have been better to have required that the par value of curre'acies be expressed not in terms of gold but in terms of their purchasing power in selected group of basic commodl' ties. Then any future action re- quired by the agreement to main tain stability of exchange ratio would almost certainly have beer
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-15

the same action required for the maintenance of stable price levels within the nations.
 National Income
 "The one thing that would be of even greater importance to the other nations of the world than the acceptance of Breton Woods by the United States would be to maintain a high level of national income in the United States and to keep the total buying power of the American people equal to their total capacity to produce goods and services.
 There would thus exist in the United States for the purchase of imports an amount of purchasing power equivalent to the value ot the commodities exported. No longer would the American people be afraid of imports. No longer could imports be regarded as g cause of unemployment. And therefore, no longer would America attempt by devious and unsoune methods to protect her domestis economy against the inflow of good produced abroad, which after al is the only way in which foreigI countries can pay us for the ex ports they receive from us.
 More important than Brettor Woods is the erasing from Amer ican thought of the false idea that an excess of exports over imports is desirable condition. Could any, thing be more false than the no- tion that by working hard to pro- duce valuable goods, shipping those goods out of the country and re- ceiving in exchange nothing ot greater usefulness than a lot ot gold, can make this country rich? The only solution to the dilemma created by such procedure is ultimately to give the gold away and start the whole process over again.
 "The only answer to the problem of international trade is to zeal the buying power of our people al home to ther own powers of pro. duction. We have to create the money necessary to accomplish thi. without increasing the nationa debt. For is it not far more sensible to create and distribute purchasing power at home in order to afford a full market for our own and for eign goods than it is virtually t. give goods away and receive bacl only uncollectible debts?
 Building Hope
 These considerations of the Bret ton Woods agreement are part an< parcel of the problem of building hope in the hearts of the peopl of foreign nations. For the Amer ican market is probably now tn best and most important marke in the world. We cannot open tn American market on the basis o absolutely free trade to all tn goods of all the nations. To do s' in a few short months or year would lead to disastrous economi dislocations. We can, however, worl in the direction of building througl reciprocal trade agreements and b other means an increased volume o mutually advantageous trade be tween the U. s. and other nations.
