F1attering tribute was paid by

to women journalists who he de-
clared were sometimes more Ell
cient than men journalists, having
an eye to detail which frequently
men overlook. These little details, y
he added, "often enhance story
and make 1t more interesting"
The Ambassador remarks were
apropos Of his first observation that
when he came to Washington
some time ago, there were few
women journalists.
II have been interviewed by wom-
en- journalists around the world,
even in the cities Of my own coun-
try" he said. TT is sign of prog
ress that women are taking part in
the field of journalism. It Is field
in which understanding and good
will between the nations can be
promoted to a degree"

introduction in fiawless English,

London Visit0r
Tells Of Food
Shortage Abr0ad
By Elizabeth MaeNirs

~
Miss Emily Fowler Of London,
who has many friends in Washing
ton and was oncs personal secretary
to the late Lord Lothian, Is in
washington for . ttree-day visit,
staying with friends in Takoma
Park. She landed In Norfolk last
Friday, having come by boat after
her plane was Cancelled because Of
the weather.
Rain and hail storms have
swept England all summer, Miss
Fowler stated, which Is a seri-
Gus thing for the crops just now
when the food situation Is so bad.
The rationing In homes is severe,
but according to Miss Fowler eating
In restaurants is worse. When she
dined out with a friend in London
recently q meal consisting Of a
two-inch piece of transparent red
roast beef, several string beans too
tough to eat, potato with a bit Of
parsley on top, and q tiny tart
trimmed with four wizened cherries,
cost her $3.50.
No one in England has minded
the bread rationing, it seems, be-
cause the bread Is SO poor no one
would eat much Of it anyway. Food
parcels from America are most
welcome, Miss Fowler maintains, not
only because they take away from
the deadly monotony Of the diet
over there, but also because the
parcels are a sign that someone
cares and appreciates what they
are going through at the present
time.
Fear is being felt for the ap-
preaching winter, Miss Fowler add
ed, because Of the housing situation.
Building materials are issued only
for new houses, and those which
have been left standing through
the war are so badly shaken they
are very much in need Of repair.
Draughts get into the space be-
tween the wood work and brick
work, which no longer meet, and
curtains are hung everywhere in
an effort to keep out the cold. To
heat these houses just small bags
Of coal are allotted month.
The people expected to save coal
during the summer months but un-
fortunately the coal did not come
in, and they are starting out the
winter with empty bins. For this
reason the government, in order to
keep the people warm, will have to
cut down on fuel going to factories.
The distribution Of what food
there is In England seems to be on
q fair basis. with very little going
to the black market. In France the
black market charges exhorbitant
prices that are within reach of only
the very rich, while in Belgium,
dealing with the black market is
done quite openly. Whatever one
has points for can be bought at
the regular price In Belgium, but If
points are lacking, anything can
be bought on the black market
at a price.
