District OPA Director L. M. A.
Wass this week announced that all
persons desiring to secure any sugar
for home canning this year must
make application to the local War
Price and Rationing Board by Sat

Wass stated, no applications will be
accepted or acted upon.
The District OPA Director point
ed out that the final date for home
canning sugar applications was set
early in August in order that OPA
might determine the exact amount
of sugar issued for home canning,
and in turn determine how much, If
any, sugar still remained available
for distribution. Thus, if any adj
ditional sugar is available, it can
be issued in time for the canning
of fruits which ripen during the
latter part of August and Septem-
Der. If this sugar is available it will
be distributed fairly by each local
board to those persons who have
shown a genuine need for more
sugar that it was possible to issue
under the former limited allotment

might be the correct type needed
for a person of a different race"
What we are is usually due 10 our

are the only race TO have the health
problem properly cared for and
there Is three times as much spent
IN schools for the whites in this
country. as for the blacks. The only
solution for the race problem, the
doctor said. is TO inform ourselves

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The temperamental Gen. de Gaulle
may be digging his own political grave
by his present attitude in the Levant
conflict. That Of course, is his own busi-
ness. But in doing so he is seriously
handicapping Frances chances to re-
cover her position as a world power
This cannot be done without the effec-
tive assistance of the United States and
Great Britain.
What Britains attitude toward the
French Is going to be in the near future
Is a matter which concerns the London
government alone. But the American
Government is so deeply disappointed
in the unreasonable actions of the
French leader and his group of jingo-
1stic advisers who form the so-called
"Rue Saint Dominique" clique that it is
seriously considering shutting off much
OF the assistance promised to the French.
Ever since the Germans surrendered,
the American Government has been
looking to France as the likely country
to attract to her sphere of influence the
remnants of Germany west of the
Rhine. This Government was prepared
to help whatever stable government
might be established in France in it's
reconstruction work. This was not
planned In an emotional way but was
the result of serious consideration.
France, in spite of her military defeats
and difficult internal situation, still has
great deal of influence throughout
Europe. A military defeat such as she
suffered cannot terminate centuries of
political and intellectual prestige.
X \
The American forces cannot be main
tanned indefinitely as the policemen of
Europe. The intention of the adminis-
tration was to gradually hand over to
France the policing of the American zone
in Germany. 1t was hoped that repub-
lies such as Bavaria, Wuertenberg and
Baden would eventually emerge as indi-
vidual states. History shows that the
population Of these countries has been
able in the past to get along with the
French without difficulty. AS soon as
the economic and political rehabilita-
ton of France was ccomplished-and
Washington believed this should not
take long If we gave helping hand-it
was hoped some sort of confederation
with Paris as the political center could
be formed.
Now the whole plan, which was not
much talked about publicly. seems to
be in jeopardy.
Ambassador Jefferson Caffery called
on Gen. de Gaulle several times in the
last three weeks urging him not to pre-
cipitate a crisis In the Levant He
pointed out that while we were not pre-
pared to discuss the merits and de-

There Is Another Side

Entirely aside from the merits of
the criticism of the Washington
Housing Association as expressed in
the report adopted by the Federation
of Citizens Associations on Saturday
evening, there are these things to
be kept in mind:
First, any donor to the Community
War Fund, in which Community
Chest funds are temporarily in
cluded, who is antagonistic to or
does not approve of the activities of
any member agency, may stipulate
that none of his contribution is to
be distributed to that agency.
Second, the Community Chest Of
flcials concerned with the orderly
collection and distribution of Chest
funds know very we'll that exclusion
of an agency such as the Washington
Housing Association might mean
the loss Of more Chest contributors
than its continued retention. As far
as the housing association is con-
cerned, 1t probably would receive
more funds, as the result of sep
arate appeal, than it does by reason
OF its membership in the Chest. To
expel it from the Chest would be to
repudiate the theory underlying a
united appeal, which led originally
to organization of the Chest.
Third, each agency of the Chest
undergoes annual inspection before
being included in the Chest appeal,
the steps being as follows: Exam
ination by the Council of Social
Agencies as to the legitimacy, from
a social point of view, of its activi-
ties; examination by the Budget
Committee as to its compliance with
fiscal policies; examination by the
Executive Committee of the Chest as
to other policies involved and,
finally, a vote by the trustees of the
Chest as to the admissibility or non
admissibility.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations has adopted its report before
the housing association has been
included in the War Fund appeal for
this year. It's spokesmen have re-
course, therefore, to established pro-
cedure in presenting the fedora
tion's objections, the validity of
which may be weighed on the basis
of evidence, pro and con.
1t is assumed that the federation
will follow this course, and seek
opportunities for public exchange
of views on matter which affects
the continued efficient functioning
OF the Chest in Washington. In
fairness, the basis of the fedora
tion's criticism should be submitted
to the test of critical examination by
the other side. AS so we'll developed
in the constructive debate on this
subject last summer before the
directors of the Community War
Fund, there is another side.
