France May Reorent
 Her Economic Policy
George Bidault Hints of Plan In Event Country Is Unable to Obtain American Fiscal Aid

fails to obtain an American loan Bidault said:
 "There is no doubt that failure to get the loan would have certain consequences. For example, 1t would result in severe disappointment to French public opinion and that in itself could not fail to have political consequences.
 Bidault said that this would not imply revision or reorientation of foreign policy on the diplomatic plane, but we would almost inevlt- ably be compelled to organize our economic policy In other directions" !"
 Bidault said that France was in full agreement with the United States with regard to the maximum possible freedom of world trade.
 "But tnis would be possible for us only if we have the means of buy ing abroad what we need most des- perately-tools and food for irn- mediate needs" he said. Defeat and devastation have left an indelible mark on our whole economy"
 He said France had only enough dollar and sterling balances to fl- nance imports for 8 few more months and that failure of the Leon Blum mission would retard, possibly for years, her economic recovery.
 Bidault said that France still was considering submitting the Spanish case to the United Nations Security Council regardless of American and British opposition.
 "The French Government" he said, "does not rule out in advance the possibility of acting alone in submitting the matter to the Se- curity Council. But we will use all our efforts so as not to be forced to-"
 Alliance Probably
 Bidault said he felt that if agree- rnent could be reached on the poli- tical severance of the Rhineland from Germany he believed that an Anglo French alliance could be ne- gotiated.
 "In general" he said, T should say that the prospects of an alli- ance are not bad. The German question is the only real obstacle" ,"

 The film starts in north-central North Dakota. The Souris River flows down into North Dakota from Saskatchewan and after making a 300 mile loop flows back into Man. itoba to join the ASsiniboine. In the days of the great buffalo herds this loop of the Souris River was one of the greatest waterfowl nest ing areas in the world. The buff falo hunters, and even the great hords of cattle which followed them, disturbed the birds compare lively little; but when the valley was drained and plowed for wheat at the time of the first World War the birds lost their nesting areas During the great drought of the early '30's the United States Gov ernment bought up a hundred farms along the river and fenced & hundred thousand acres for wa terfowl nesting areas.

 Paris, March 22-(UP)-Foreign Minister Georges Bidault today in- dicated that France may be forced to reorient her economic policy toward Russia if America fails to give her financial aid.
 In an exclusive interview with the United Press, Bidault frankly said that France must have economic assistance If her recovery is not de- layed for years. If aid can not be obtained in the United States, he said. France must turn elsewhere and he made plain that the direc- ton in which she would turn would be to Russia.
 Reds Offer Sidetracked
 Bidault did not mention Russia's offer to come to Frances assistance with 100000 tons of wheat or the possible diplomatic ssgnifcance Of this offer.

DONG THE oLp sOFT-sHOE

DOING THE OLD SOFT-SHOE The Iranian War Ministers de- nial of a statement about fight ing to the last man," with the claim that his interpreter had him ail wrong" recalls this bit of cherce verse (sliitable for framing in news paper offices):
 When Earth's last paper is finished
 and the type is scrambled and
 pied,
 When the roar of the press becomes
 fainter and sheets are
 folded and dried,
 We shall rest (and Faith, we shall
 need itD for the way has been
 weary and long,
 And oft have we heard that old
 chestnut, "Young man, you
 have quoted me wrong"
 Years ago when another double talking official told newsmen, T never said that" (although dozen reporters knew that he had) one editor ridiculed him by sending him the following note:
 "Sir: You may recollect we printed yesterday your denial of having retracted the contradiction of your original statement. Would you care to have Us say that you were misquoted in regard to it?" The conflicting stories from Iran recall quip that was popular with overseas newsboys during the war: It concerns the Ministry of Infor- nation carrier pigeon, leisurely flying to its destination, when it wus jjostled by a second pigeon that shouted: Get move on. I've got the denial!"
 A N. Y. editorial writer stated that Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr, cannot hope to be President be- cause he was born in Canada and a Chief-Exec must be a native born American.
 Overwhelming weight of legal opinion: Anyone who Is born of American parents in foreign coun- try and properly registered can be President {. Ho, hum. Any other questions?
 Another reason for our tense re- lations with Russia is that the Americans Russia respected (and trusted moSt) can no longer help Us Iran out differences: FDR, Harry Hopkins and Wendell Willkie.
 h,u@ RamnhHn.~ Saa,,n aan,,nasl ,,a oe being inconsistent because we rap the Russkys-although we lauded them during the war This re- porter doesn't believe in sacred cows-bears, lions or eagles |. There have been times when we criticized the American and Bri- tish governments. We praised Rus sia when 1t was battling Nazism- and we oppose Russian aggression today-juSt as we opposed 1t when Russia invaded Finland. Remem- Der?
 A N. Y. gazette revealed that during Churchill's address at the Waldorf his jabs at Russia were heavily applauded by the audience. But his friendly references to FDR were greeted with patty-cakes.
 I know. I was there and shud- dered.
 It happened at the Brooklyn inc come tax bureau last week Two men named Thomas McNally and Joseph Sweeney were having thelr tax forms filled out by an agent when they suddenly began speak ing to each other in Yiddish. ..

GALLOWAY TELLS
OF VETERAN NEED

Ray Galloway, executive direc'
tor Of Wilmington Post No. IT,,
American Legion, made a strong
appeal to members of the Elk
change club at their luncheon yes.
terday : to counsel and work with
the boys who have, and will, como
home from the war.
Problems of employment, hous-
ing, education, finance, discourage
ment confront these men who went
away as boys, and they are still
boys at heart" said Mr.. Galloway.
Only so per cent of these who en-.
tered the service have returned.
Fifty percent of the men entering
service never had a job before, be-
ing in school. But less than nine
percent are going back to school.
In addition only thirteen percent OF
the boys so far are returning 20
there is a deficiency of jobs being
is a big influx of veterans; yet
there is a Deficiency of jobs being
offered. To date only IL or IA, out
of 276 firms, are participating in
the government on-the-job train
ing, Mr.. Galloway said.
It's the community's job to make
citizens out of these veterans, not
the Federal Government. True, he
said, the government started TAX
ing these boys away five years ago
Many have returned better thar
when they left, many worse.
Hospital facilities for veterans
are overcrowded, and something
locally needs to be done to give
medical aid to many of these vet
Grams for whom the war is not owe;
yet, Galloway said.
The Veterans Administration il
Washington is doing what it can
but local responsibility must bridge
the gap caused by the tremendous
number of veterans being released
and seeking attention in this city
AS we know, many of these veter
ans married Wilmington girls ant
have taken this as their home
therefore, through your local agen
cies and Individual interest the G
rs problem becomes your Club!
and every citizens problem, Gallo
way added.

ficially conveyed has very little,
probably nothing at all, to do with
whether the secret-if there is any
is kept.
Moreover, it has not much to do
with whether the inspection" we
hear so much about is effective.
No government really interested in
atomic weapons is going to rely on
the official inspectors alone. All
interested governments, including
our own, will keep the inspectors
inspected by means of secret in
diligence.
There is no possible way of tell
ing what secret intelligence has
already uncovered. Yet that is the
really important secret in this
whole business. The japanese die
not know we had their secret
Therefore their secrecy deceived
only themselves; the more firmly
they believed their code was secret
when in fact it was not, the better
it was for us. For, relying upon {
secrecy that did not exist, they tolc
us everything we wanted to know
The moral, I believe, is that we
are in great danger in this bust

Avery Island, La, in 1892 placed
eight young snowy egrets inside
