Everybody around the airport
seemed to know it was Roosevelt's
dog. They were pretty mad about
it. and the ladies in the Red Cross
canteen, said they were going to do
something about it."

took off in another plane at 10

Plane Crash Made
Luzon Natives Rich
By FRANK SMITH,

NOrt0 American NchSpdpcI
DAGUPAN, Luzon, Jan. 20.-The
arrival of MacArthur's army of lib
Grafton and the consequent discred-
iting of the japanese occupation
army has been a sad blow to small
group of Filipinos who one day last
year became millionaires overnight.
A Jap plane crashed without burn
ing in the interior of Luzon prov
ince. When the. curious natives
gathered round to investigate, they
discovered it was loaded with boxes
of 1O-peso and 100-peso notes fresh
from the printing presses of the en-
pire.
Despite the exorbitant prices of
comforts under the inflated occu-
patton economy, these natives were
able to buy anything they wanted.
A checkup by the Japs identified the
series numbers on the bills, and Or
ders were issued that such were not
to be honored
However, this had little effect on
the circulation of the bills until the
Americans landed.

Soviet Grants UNRRA
Polish Relief Port,
Is Silent on visas
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

The Soviet Russian govern
ment has granted the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
ton Administration use of a
Black Sea port to send supplies
TO Poland and Czechoslovakia.
But Moscow, it was learned to-
day, has given UNRRA no reply
to its request for visas which
would enable UNRRA personnel
to pass through the Soviet to
reach these destitute areas.
Unless viSas are granted, OBJ
servers pointed out, the food and
clothing to be shipped to Poland
and Czechoslovakia will have to be
distributed either by Russians or
by nationals of the two recipient
countries.
Fight Recalled.
At the recent UNRRA conference
at Montreal, a behind the scenes
fight went on between the Russian
and Polish delegations over the sub
ject Of how relief supplies were to be
distributed. The Russian delega-
ton there opposed any plan which
would mean the entry into Poland
of foreigners displaying largesse
with food and clothing bearing the
UNRRA mark and obviously origin
ating in the United States or Great
Britain.
The announcement of Moscow's
action was made by Director Gener-
al Herbert H. Lehman of UNRRA.
1t said:
The authorities of the U. S. S. r.
have informed UNRRA of the avail
ability of Black Sea port reception
facilities and inland transport for
food, clothing, medical and other
relief goods to Poland and Czecho-
slovakia. This clears the way
for the first shipment of relief sup
plies from UNRRA to the two
liberated territories"
Request Ignored.
However UNRRA ignored In its
announcement the pending request
for visas for its personnel and it
was learned authoritatively that
they have not been granted or
promised.
Requests for viSas for a mission
OF nine UNRRA officials who were
to visit Poland and make arrange
ments for the distribution of sup
plies were filed with the Soviet gov
ernment last October.
Observers considered it signifi-
can't that Moscows assent to
UNRRA's request for port and
transport facilities came only a few
days after the Red Army had cap
tured Warsaw and begun its VIC
torious march through Poland. II
the Russian advance continues at
anything like its present pace the
Soviet will be in military control of
all of Poland when UNRRA sup
plies are distributed there.

Is History Repeating?

To the Editor Of The Star:
I was much interested in your ably
written editorial "All That Matters"
However, it seemed to me that the
writer was just barely limiting at what
I think should be shouted from the
housetops.
The editorial was critical of the mad
scramble to demobilize our Army and
Navy; but think it would have been
more suitable to the occasion If he had
been even more outspoken and forth
right about it.
One of our foremost radio commen-
tators Sunday evening said that while
there is such drive to force the mill
tary agencies to disband and break up
practically all our forces, Russia is hold
ing all her younger and tougher men
in the service, and Great Britain has
walked up in time to keep very large
portion of her armed forces in the
service.
Are not We-the vast majority Of the
American people-in very much the
same state OF mind now that we were
before Pearl Harbor? Are we not hid
ing under the bed, with quilt around
our heads, because we are afraid to
name the thing that is rattling the
doorknob? ALBERT D. RUST.

the United States of the most needed
supplies would cease almost entirely in
December and January 1t has been
estimated that the relief and rehabili-
tation work of UNRRA can be COM
pleted in Europe by the end of 1916 and
in the Far East, three months later.
This country and the other nations
are to be called on to make additional
contributions Of ! per cent Of their
estimated incomes for the same year,

ers must dig down in their jeans for

for UNRRA contributions from this

The Job UNRRA has been set up to
do has two aspects. First, 1t gives relief,
the essentials to keep needy people alive
II the organization were limited to that
work it would be in danger Of becoming
merely the source of a dole. 1t would
leave these people no better off at the
END of its operations than they were at
the commencement-or little better.
The second main job OF UNRRA.
therefore, is rehabilitation. These peo-
pie must be enabled to help themselves.
To help themselves, UNRRA is providing
these destitute people with seeds. ferti-
lizers, farm machinery, trucks, limited
amounts of raw materials, power plants,
textile and other machinery. So COM
pletely devastated have huge areas been,
by war and by the stripping the Ger
mans gave them, that unless such sup
plies are provided, the people haven't
a chance to stage a comeback.
Thus far UNRRA has gone into
Greece, Yugoslavia. Albania, Italy and
with limited programs, Poland and
Czechoslovakia. It is opening up in
China 1t is prepared to undertake an
enlarged program in Italy, assuming
that responsibility from the Military
and Allied Control Commission. 1t is
ready to take over in Austria, when re-
quested by the military. and to assume
responsibility for program in Korea,
and to carry on limited program in the
two Soviet Republics which were hit
with terrific force by the Nazis-the
Ukraine and Byelorussia.
The organization has met many diff
culties--but 1t is rolling now.
