BY RUTH MILLETT

If the government really wants
Mrs. America to cut down on
the flour she uses to feed her fam
lily, it hasn't been very helpful
about telling her how.
Just saying 'cut down. isn't
enough. She ought to know how
to do it.
How many slices of bread a
day should each member of her
family get? How often-if YER
is she justified in making a pie
or a cake or cookies? What r the
best wheat substitutes-from the
standpoint of diet, cost, and plen-
tifulness of supply?
The average family can't save
money just by deciding to Scut
down on expenses. The only way
most families can save is by plan
ming in advance how much they
will live on and how much they
will put into savings.
The same i; true when it comes
to saving food. A family a save
a little if the housewife is careful
about using up stale bread instead

United States Organizations went into action ten months before Pearl Harbor It is still in action nearly six months after V-J Day and plans to keep going through the whole of l946 and 1947 At it's peaks it was serving million people day; it had more than 5000 clubs lounges and related activities it's camp shows were giving TOO performances day often close to the front lines to a recent total of more than ITO 900 000 service personnel it had 739000 volunteer workers it serving soldiers and sailors relatives and many industrial workers, including those in the atomic plants; it went everywhere and did about everything except in the expedonay and other fields in which by agreement, another great agency, the American Red Cross took
 There was still need for these services after victory need for them overseas where homesick troops were desperate to get back to Gods country need for them for troops in transit; need for them at separation centers and in hospitals; need for them as drafted men and volunteers went into uniform.

War Debts
Washington Post)

tWaShngtOn POSt)
 It was inevitable that with the start of the debate on the loan to Britain the old debts should be revived In this revival sight is lost of the fact that the war debts did not stand alone They were in- dissolubly linked with separations from Germany When reparations from Germany dried up, there net the slightest hope of collecting the debts. It is unfair forget this relation in talking about the sorry history of the debts of World War l.
 The link was acknowledged by the man who negotiated the funding of the war debts, Secretary Mellon On March Is, 1927, Secretary Mellon in a letter to President Hibben of Princeton University said Tt is obvious that your statement that the debt agreements which we have made impose tremendous burden of taxation for the next two generations on friendly countries is not accurate since the sums paid us will not come from taxation but will be more than met by the payments to be exacted from Ger many" However the funding commission steadfastly refused to insert in the funding agreements safeguard clause" waving payments in case of breakdown in reparations payments This was due to the fact that United States had washed it's hands of Europe except to the extent of insisting that it got it's money back
 Britain of course, could afford such luxury She also was a creditor debt account, though most Americans forget it. Before the United States entered the war she financed France and the other allies Unable to persuade the United States to join in wping the entire debt slate clean, the British carried out policy of not taking more from her own debtors and from Germany than was needed to pay the United States They gave assurance to the French that payments to Britain on debt account would be revised in case separations ceased When repara tions did cease pledges the United Otates had to give way before what William James would have called the irreducibe facts and debt payments ceased soon after. The analogy between the present loan and the old debts in short is false
