Mr.. Lehman's representatives-"yet !"
The request for vtsas was sent to Mos
COW last April and no answer has been
received so far in spite of Mr.. Lehman's
efforts to obtain them.
Marshal Tito was more outSpOken.
He informed the UNRRA head that
unless his own men were placed in
charge of relief distribution he did not
need help and indicated that all he
desired was number of ships to trans
port corn meal and other such essentials
from the Russian ports. The reports
OF observers on the spot however, told
of the distressing conditions among the
people who were deprived of all the
essentials of life. Similar reports were
received indirectly from Poland
Mr.. Lehman was confronted with the
question of either sticking to the letter
of the Atlantic City agreement on the
basis Of which Congress already had
appropriated more than half a billion
dollars or taking chance on placing
an important political weapon in the
hands of the two unofficial govern
ments",
He chose the latter. He suggested
that Marshal Tito meet him halfway,
with the supplies to be handled by
I1tos representatives under the gen.
eral supervision of an UNRRA dele
gate. This plan was accepted. Mr.
Lehman appointed an American, but
he was not acceptable to the Partisan
leader. Neither was the second ap-
pointee, British citizen.
Marshal Tito then suggested a Rus
sian representative. Although, strictly
speaking, Russia is not member in
good standing because it has not yet
paid the 81 300 900 for the 1914 adminis-
trative expenses of the UNRRA fund,
Mr.. Lehman approved the Tito choice
and Micheal Alexandroyitch Sergeychuk,
quartermaster of a Red division at
Teheran, was appointed general super
visor of distribution.
Thus in Yugoslavia the distribution
and administration of the relief supplies
will be handled by Tito's personal repre-
sentatives under the supervision of a
Russian general who has Titos political
interests foremost in mind. For the
time being no Russian official has yet
been appointed for liberated Poland,
principally because it is expected that
the Polish provisional government soon
will become the real government of
Po'a.id.

Policing the Coal Bin

Why is a policemans certificate,
fllled out on the premises, necessary
before a citizen can be assured of
getting coal? Would it not be simpler
merely to forbid the coal merchants
to deliver coal except to customers
who really need it?
The answers to these questions
are found in curiouSly panicky
state of the public mind, the same
state Of mind that makes merchants
fearful every time they see notice of
a possible shortage in the neWspa-
pers, and has brought about a local
emergency in coal deliveries which,
coupled with the railroad embargo,
can be dealt with satisfactorily only
by calling in the police.
There is large element of the
public that goes into a conniption
fit of hysterical buying on the slight
est suggestion that some commodity
may run short. The coal situation
is case in point. According to re-
liable coal merchants, there is
enough coal in Washington to meet
requirements. But for weeks their
customers have been Swamping coal
dealers with frantic orders for more
coal, although hundreds of deliv-
cries have been made to homes
where the bins are so full that orders
could not be stored away. The re-
suit is that the people who really do
need coal are unable to get it with
out long delays. They are penalized
for the greediness of others who
have plenty of coal. The situation
would have grown worse as the en-
barge on coal shipments became
effective.
The decision to call in the police,
requiring a personal inspection and
certif1cation by the officer that a
bin is empty, represents an attempt
to assure prompt delivery to the
people who must have coal imme-
diately. This method, it is believed,
will be the most effective, way to
screen" essential cases, clearing the
way for prompt delivery and in a
sense freeing the dealers, who lack
adequate means or personnel for
such inspection, to take care of the
needieSt cases. The dealers, with
out this help from the police. are
swamped.
1t is necessary, of course, to con-
serve coal here, as everywhere else.
But no such emergent measures as
calling in the Police Department
would be necessary if the scare
buying section of the public would
keep it's head and not try to stock
up in advance. This scare buying
of all sorts of goods is far more
Serious problem than actual short
ages. We could all get along very
well, in spite of rail embargoes and
Unsuitable military demands, if the
miserly frenzies of the hoarders
could be stopped. The use of police
is an excellent idea-if there are
enough police to go around.
