Healthy Red Blood Cells

It's shame that people who ought

a ferro-nutritional deficiency of the

big, enough, rich enough, healthy
enough to keep them feeling and look

Capt. William Easily, who owned l22
East Capitol street for many years was
a prominent pioneer resident Of WASH

between 1920 and 1854. He married

Their daughter, Wilhelmine Mary Easily,
married William Russell Smith, a Rep

the marriage were to be baptized with

bullets. This was contrary to all inter.
national law So was the work. Of
building barbed-wire fence around the
camp which the men were made to do.
But that was the only forced labor
exacted of them. And there were no
physical brutalities, except that when
an American air raid occurred, and any
prisoner violated the order to take cover
which the Japs said was issued for their
own protection, the captors would make
the violator stand in the open and look
up at the broiling sun for hours, exposed
to shrapnel from the sky. During the
army rule, the internees were forbidden
to make fires in the huts, ostensibly q
safety measure, but apparently inspired
by desire to make the women cook in
the sun, which in the hot season was a
cruel task.
Plenty of Work to Do
Fortunately for the camp morale there
was plenty of work to do always. 1t took
a long time to do simple tasks because
of the primitive facilities. The men
were required to do at least two hours
work a day, and most of them put in
five or more The internees governed
themselves. They had their own police
force, Jail and vigilante committees. For
such offenses as bringing in liquor. con-
sorting with japanese on the outside or
In any other way importing the camp,
penalties were dealt out. Summary
justice was dispensed without interven-
ton of their captors. The internees
knew that If things went wrong, the
whole camp, not those responsible, would
be punished.
They tried to live as normally as pos
sible. There were teachers in camp,
and SO school was held regularly for
William Burke, Sd, who was 7 when
their captivity started, and for the other
children. One of Billy's priced memen-
toes is a Santo Tomas report card.
Plenty of books reached the camp from
Manila libraries though reading matter
was censored. BY way of amusement,
there were baseball games and stage
shows.
Toward the last the men we're too
weak to work their allotted minimum,
even, and it took that much longer to
bury or burn the garbage, tend the
charcoal fires and do the other chores.
When the American Army came, a
lot OF magazines were sent to Santo

mischevious, but his temper Is gone"
All of the others said much the same
thing.
Postwar Plans
The big problems facing the program
now are the postwar future, the short
age of teachers and the lack of space.
They now are operating under a war
time plan, and whether or not they
continue after the war has yet to be
decided definitely. If they do, there is
the problem of whether they will be-
come a part of the public schools, or
be run separately, and whether they
will be open to all, or just to children
of working mothers as they now are.
The ideal teacher is person who
has had education and training in the
care of children. Because of the short
age, however, some of those in the
centers have had only one or the other
Many of them are wives of servicemen,
here only for short time, making a
constant turnover in staff. Because OF
this shortage, and the shortage of space
for the schools, it is impossible for the
program to take care of all children of
working mothers, and many centers has
a waiting list.
Program Must Continue
The program in each of the counties
and the District is planning for ex-
pansion in the near future, but space
for the schools is becoming increasingly
difficult to find. Besides having to meet
certain health requirements Of the 10
Gale in which they are situated Uust as
the children have to meet health re-
quirements before they can enteD the
schools must have play-yard space and
should be in a conveniently reached 10
cation.
The heads of the various programs
are still looking for solution to these
problems. The task is not easy, but
the directors agreed that the satisfac-
ton of seeing well adjusted children in
a country at war "is adequate compen-
sation for all the difficulties we meet"

means but the others kept community
fund, so that all were supplied alike.
But all this was changed when the
army took over. They We're no longer
allowed to send out for anything. There
was no doubt. Mr.. Burke pointed out,
that the military deliberately deprived
them of adequate food, because, when at
Thanksgiving and Christmas, 1914, the
Swiss and Swedes, neutrals, in Manila,
collected for them several truckloads Of
eggs, sugar, rice, peanut butter and
other desperately needed dietary items.
the soldiers turned back the trucks at
the gate.
The Japs" Mrs. Burke said bitterly,
pretended to be so fond of children.
Yet they were willing to see our chill
dren starve."
Managed to Survive
But, even with the meager rations of
the last year, the constant hunger, most
of the group managed to survive. There
were comparatively few deaths, con-
sidering the hardships. They kept es-
sential medicines, though they had to
smuggle them in, and they maintained
sanitary conditions rigidly.
Mr.. Burke built hut out of paving
blocks which the Spaniards had brought
in some 300 years ago, bamboo poles,
which had to be spliced, for flooring
and walls, and thatched roofing. That
was a job, too.~ Miss Dorothy Living
ston, young American artist, wanted
to sketch the house. Her price was 90
pesos-or one can of corned beef.
Mr.. and Mrs Burke talked 1t over
earnestly. Then they decided to deed
the can of corned beef. The artist
turned cut an ornamental picture.
News Grapevines
The people of the camp got no mail
or current magazines, but word of the
most important events got around.
Thus, when Macarthur landed on Leyte,
they heard of it. Later, Mr.. Burke said,
they learned that three internees, elec-
tricians, had made little radio, which
they kept hidden in can. They didn't
even tell the other inmates about the
radio. If the Japs had found it, the trio
would have been executed. And there
were known to be few informers in
camp. Among that many people, Of
various nationalities, there was bound
to be, under the law Of averages, a
handful of renegades. But the tech
nicians saw that outstanding news got
around, and it went to camp leaders
in such way they knew it was
authentic.

sailors who escaped, made them kneel
beside their graves and shot them in the

conference with administration officials
or visiting firemen who think Washing
ton can solve their problems.
The story has been bruited around
Washington that Snyder has only half
his heart in the Truman Roosevelt pro-
gram for social and economic reform
veracity when. Snyder failed to appear
as a witness in behalf of the adminis-
tration's bill to establish a minimum
wage of IS cents an hour. One of the
Washington pundits seized on this to
write column telling how Snyder had
sent a memorandum to the President
opposing the bill and asking that he be
excused from testifying before House
committee which was considering it.
Favors Bills Enactment
There wasn't any such memorandum,
and Snyder has made clear to members
uf Congress that he thinks the bill
should be enacted. 1t happened, how
ever, that this committee hearing came
close on the heels of several dealing with
reconVersion measures-the full employ
ment bill, the unemployment compensa-
tion bill, housing and others. Snyder
had spent good bit of his time on
Capitol Hill testifying in behalf of these
bills, and the work piled up at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue. He talked with
the committee chairman, who told him
the committee did not require his testi-
mony, and he offered to send written
statement supporting the BILL but was
told that even this was not necessary.
Snyders rise in national politics has
been quick jump from relative OBJ
scurlty to prominence. He had been
bank liquidator in st. Louis, after the
collapse Of 1882, and in 1897 Truman,
then Senator, got him the job as man
ager of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. branch in ST. Louis. Jesse Jones
liked his style and made him executive
vices president sof the Defense Plant
Corp, an RFC subsidiary.
He was vice president of the First
National Bank in st. Louis when Tru-
man telephoned from Chicago last year
to ask his advice about whether he
should aim at the vice presidential
nomination, which was within his grasp.
Snyder told him to go ahead. When
President Roosevelt died, and Truman
succeeded him, Snyder was in Mexico,

foreign trade problems. He flew to

aside there is no one present in the
House on the Tory side who is fit to tie
Church1lls shoelaces. Gambling with
nonent1t1es is not wise game for a.
party in state of alarm and despond-
ency.
Mosley Seeks Action.
Meanwhile. there is a good deal of
discussion about the effort of Sir Os-
wald Mosley and his followers to re-
organize the Fascist party. So far they
have not ventured on more than a pri-
Vate meeting. They are evidently anx-
lous to revenge themselves for their
suppression in wartime and it looks as
though they propose to revert to the
mlschievous tactics they used before
1910. They hardly conceal their anti
Semitism. They are considering WAYS
and means of publishing periodicals
and pamphlets.
But the public is not in a mood To
tolerate their disruptionism Masses of
angry protests are pouring in to mem
pers OF Parliament from the troops.
The rank and file in the House of
Commons is already pressing the Home
Secretary to take action to prevent re-
organization Of the Fascist party. It is
obvious that the feelings of the public
Tor Mosley are unrelentingly bitter. It
does not forget that it took six years of
grim war to destroy the enemies of de-
mocracy abroad; and men and women
who suffered from the war are not 60

The mood Of the nation is deeply
hostile to self-appointed saviors who
had been interned in wartime for the
safety OF the realm. He and his fellow

against the government. They stand

unfolded daily in the Nuremberg trial.

war Is shown by the very fact that they

now lar Americans are prepared seri-
ously to-. help the growth of interna-
tlonal trade by opening their home
market to foreign goods that we will
really see what use they propose to make
OF their immense economic power.
ChurchilPs Grip Weakens.
The real lesson, suspect, of the
two debates is the evidence it offers of
the disintegration of Churchill's hold
on the Tory party. His leadership is
accepted without conviction, even with
out grace. He could not prevent a large
number of his followers from curtly and
even angrily refusing to accept his
advise, and it was notable that those
who refused were members of the party.
Some belonged to a group so curiously
known as Tory "reformers," though they
have never made clear what it is they
propose to reform. Others, like Robert
Boothby, have been mostly eager ~ad-
mirers of Churchill until the general
elections. Most of them were quite
recently in the armed forces. Church.
HIS hold seems to be with his colleagues
OF the late coalition and with the older
members of the party who accept the
party's marching orders without asking
questions.
1t looks as though the dissatisfaction
with Churchill mounts daily; and it ap-
pears that it applies to Eden also. Eden
Is regarded as too interested in foreign
aHairs and he has not enough fury
against the Labor government to make
good Tory leader. I have the predic-
ton of a well-informed observer Of Tory
views that, having won the war, the
Tories will now be remembering less the
great services of Churchill to the nation
than the instability of his past record,
and that they want to be led by Tory
upon whom they can rely.
Tories Angry In Defeat.
1t may well be that the coming abb
sence of Churchill for the winter in
Florida will alter the situation. It NAV
teach his discontented followers that
they have no one in the front opposition
bench who remotely compares with him
in parliamentary stature and that the
rank and file of the country would
deeply resent an attempt to shoulder him
with heavy personal responsibility for
the Tory defeat last July. But 1t does
not seem to occur to his critics that
most of them had even heavier respon-
sibility for the long, disastrous periods
wherein they supported Chamberlain
and that. while Churchill was running
his scare campaign in the election, most
of them were delighted with what they
are now attacking.
The real truth is that the Tories are
angry beyond words about their defeat.
Opposition does not seem natural to
them and they cannot accustom them
selves to bepg overridden in the voting
