will change. In short, he has been
exposed to the truth"
Much has been heard of the
alleged coddling and pampering of
German prisoners of war. Some of
these complaints have stemmed
from distortion or misinterpreta-
ton of phases of the orientation
program, which heretofore was q
hush-hush procedure. Gen. Bryan,
testifying recently before a House
Subcommittee on Military Affairs,
made the position of the War De-
partment clear when he said:
THE War Department is bound
by the Geneva Convention. We do
not coddle prisoners of war, but we
treat them firmly and fairly. To do
otherwise would be contrary to
American tradition and to one of
the principles for which our armies
in the field are fighting These same
cardinal principles of truth and
freedom are being learned, and
learned well, by Germany's captured
fighters in this Nation. 1t is a
significant start toward the en-
lightenment of those on home SOIL

Record Reviews
By ALICE EYERSMAN.

Last week we received a letter
from Sara Dunn of the press depart
ment of the Victor Co. She wrote:
Il don't want to alarm you unduly,
but you will truly receive bundle
from heaven very shortly.
This is the story. You will re-
ceive a batch of records from the
Victor Red Seal releases for July.
They will be flown to you on the
Pennsylvania Central Airlines,
dropped by parachute over Wash
ington and delivered to you person.

This is a stunt dreamed up by
the Pennsylvania Central Airlines
to prove the practicability of deliv-
ering fragile packages only to the
extent of furnishing the records;
out should the delivery carry through
without mishap, we do hope you
will enjoy your sneak preview' of

1t was rather prosaic, after such
an exciting announcement, to find
package of recordings in our Office

express man had delivered in the
past. Only the penciled words (not
even an official stamp being thought
necessary for this auspicious occa-

chosen.

Sugar Aplenty

This 100000 tons of sugar discovered in
Java's ports will help m let the world shortage
and may even make the lot Of sweet-toothed
Americans happier. Secretary Of Agriculture
Anderson, who announces finding the treas
ure, believes OUR share may run to 100000
Or 800, 600 tons. At any rate it will help short
en- the period OF rationing.
The find could not have been made at
better time, for the sugar will become avail
able when the domestic supply is at lowest
ebb. The ALLEGATION of civilian supply for the
last quarter of the year was % per cent
lower than in any previous 1915 quarter.
Maybe, as occupation of countries under
Japanese control expands, further supplies
will be discovered, to the delight of countries
in the United Nations pool and the speedier
conclusion of all rationing in this country. It
has been expected that with the single ex-
ception of sugar, rationing might be ended
by next January l. Another cache like this
one in Java probably would take sugar off
the list too, and the bugaboo of rationing be
removed ahead Of schedule It is worth hoping
for at least.

We Look To You, Mr.. Truman

When President Truman was called so sud-
should pursue the policies of President Roose-
welt. The world conflict was nearing its end
victory for the Allied nations was definitely
in sight. Any change in policy or strategy
at that stage could be tragic.
But when the war ended and President Tru.
man began to show signs of acting on his
own the American public at large welcomed
the belief that the country was at the begin
ming Of new administrative era and enter
tanned high hopes of reform which would Grad
icate the more vicious practices of the new
deal and usher in the return to true demo.
cratic government
This hope found encouragement in President
Humans quick death sentence to many bu-
reaucratic agencies and the placing of others
under constitutional departments. The people
believed they were to be restored to their
proper part in affairs and that government
was to be by, for and of them. To some ex.
tent this belief was fulfilled.
But in one respect it is not only unfulfilled
but contradicted, more empaaticauy with each
days passage. The fighting had barely been

into execution a program of strikes, obviously
long drafted, which by now has spread

object political power. The wage increases de.

troll OF government, are at the roots of the
movement Labor's leaders are out to rule
and are using the strike as their weapon
And MIR. Truman upon whom the rank and
file OF Americans had bestowed their trust
in whom they had full confidence, continues
to employ the policies of his predecessor who
enjoyed his political mastery through three
and into his fourth term with labors support

FOR FAITH

Lord, teach US to pray" In the
simple faith of childhood, may we
turn to Thee in all of ou- needs,
assured that Thou are our, Father,
and that nothing in our lives is
too small to command the interest
Of Thine competence, Trustfully
and lovingly, as we turn to our
earthly parents with our needs, we
come to Thee with this petition
for sincere faith in Thy Father
hood. We ask Thee for the daily
strength to none that ask denied;
and for hearts at leisure from
themselves, that we may plead the
cause of all who anywhere suffer;
and of all who serve our Country;
and of the whole world of human
ity, whose needs wait upon Thy
bounty and wisdom. Whatever we
do, wherever we 60, may we AL
ways be attended by the concious-
ness that Thou, our only refuge
and help, art prayer-hearing and
prayer-answering God. Amen -

Accommodation Loan

. What is known an accommodation loan
is a type OF credit that depends entirely on
bankers confidence in the borrower. After
the bank holiday which followed President
Roosevelts first Inauguration, and for long
time thereafter, accommodation loans were
discontinued. Banks wisely required endorse
ments on all notes, but when the people were
q little steadier on their financial feet, bank
ers again resorted to the old custom of &C.
commodating borrowers in whose integrity
they had faith.
I The point to emphasize is that accommoda-
lion loans are strictly dependent upon the
final analysis we know of no other transac.
tion, with the exception OF credit at the gro.
ery, in which the trustfulness of one man
in another is better exemplified To be able
to enter bank broke and depart with money
in the pocket, with nothing but a slip Of
paper left behind, is an example of human
faith not to be excelled.
But if the borrower visited banker, how.
ever well they were known to each other, and
demanded gift of the money he needed, he'd
get such a cold shoulder as he'd be long in
forgetting Banks are not in business as
charitable institutions. The money in thei1
possession is not theirs to give away. It be-
longs to their stock holders and depositors
and as it is their stock in trade their obliga
ton is to see that it is preserved and yields
profit.
In its emergency Great Britain has come
to the United States in much the same role
as tie bankers friend who asks gift Fo,
