Britain Needs Relief, Too
Cincinnati Enquirer


 In the early and middle stages of World War II, the British people tremendous inspiration to the democratic world. The way in which they squared their shoulders against impossible odds endured the worst that came their way without flinching and worked victory to the limit of their endurance, really gave the American people something to live up to.
 And even yet the way the British people are enduring the austery of the postwar period is some thing very remarkable, and very inspiring.
 We have the word of competent newspaper cor respondents for it that England off relatively than the continent Evidently it is notably worse off than most parts of Germany where lavish relief and rehabilitation efforts centering.
 UNRRA-the United Nations Relief and Rehab- tation Administration maintains headquarters in London, and from there directs widespread and rather wastefu relief program in Europe. Yet there is no relief dispensed in England that has come to our attention On the contrary, the British people are sharing their meager food stocks in order to help feed the hungry people the continent The British diet has been unhealthfully substandard for years yet it still is being accepted as necessity to help the sua tion elsewhere in Europe Typical of what has been done with Brtain's very limited agricultural produc- ton is the fact that 260O0000 bushels of cereals and products have been sent to Europe during the last year and half at the expense Of home con- sumption.
 UNRRA officials and other visitors to London can claim ration coupons to outfit themselves, but the British citizens still covered by clothing raoning extremely stringent that tfreadDare clOhng IS te rule This in contrast to the reports of GIs that in some parts of Germany they found lavish clothes and comforts
 One correspondent who visited both Berlin and London said that England might well have lost the war judging by comparative conditions There are swank clothes and fashion shows in Germany; British women can buy dress year, and their stockings such they are, look like cotton bags. Nyons? They don't joke about them.
 Germany and the occupied lands enjoyed period of relative prosperity of course, during the bitter years that England stood alone. And until near the last Germany fattened and clothed the loot of the continent; England meanwhile had eaten up and her resources It will take great while for her to regain adequate industrial and agricultural production sufficient to resume reasonable standard of living And right much of England's produc tion--tweeds for eXanple-cant be sold at home but must be exported because of the nations desperate economic plight
 We're spending uncounted millions to salve the hurts of in erstwe enemy lands Let's not forget valiant ally that spent her strength in the common fight. and now needs help as much as any of them.

STONE THE PUPIL

Justice Holmes, of course, was to Stone, what Stone was to Jus tice Douglas and scores of other Justice Douglas and scores of other young men-a great inspiration and teacher. At one time, Stone asked Holmes what guiding principle he had worked out during his 90-odd years.
 Young man" said Holmes to his 61-year-old friend, about 75 years ago I learned that I was not God. And so, when the people of the various states want to do some thing I can't find anything in the Constitution expressly forbidding them to do, say, whether I like it or not. 'Goddamit, let 'em do it ]! !"
 Undoubtedly those words were in Stones mind when, in his fa- nous dissent in the Triple-A case, he said:

HEART AND HOME


 The stars are friendly to the az ed and the physically handicapped. Love affairs should flourish and the time is ideal for proposals, wed- dings and home planning. BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Shelves long empty, or nearly SO, will soon be filled with products for which consumers have been waiting since early in the war. Pro- duction will be stepped up rapidly through the next few months. A new era of prosperity is just around the corner.
 NATIONAL ISSUES A variety of legislation seeking to give substantial aid to the na- ticn's small business enterprises will be aired before long, Small business is no longer the neglected stepchild. It has many able champions who are diligently look ing after the interests of group whose voice was formerly drown ed out by the lusty shouts of the larger organizations.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Increasing evidence that Russia will cooperate with, but will not open her borders to, the rest of the world is seen. Indications are that Russia desires peace, but it is not the nature of her people or her government to reciprocate the man ifest friendliness of this and other nations.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of new intellectual interests which will lead to a revision of many old and out-dated ideas and con- victions.
 Children born today will have ev- cry chance to make a name for themselves in their chosen vocation. They will be kindly, generous and honest. Copyright. i946)

 Under this configuration, com munity projects are assured of suc- cess, whether in the planning or execution stage. The blind and the crippled are under favorable in fluences and are minded that their own thinking largely determines the harmony of their lives.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many training schools will be set up by industry to help returned Servicemen and women to make the adjustment to new jobs or prepare them for the first jobs they have held. By this means many now idle will be given employment at which they can earn while learning.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The question of air space control will be debated with renewed vigor within the next year or two as the oir lanes begin to carry many pri- vately owned planes in addition to those operated by commercial lines and the military.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Foreign military services are amazed, confused and amused at the current debate between O. Is and the Army concerning the dis tinction between G.

 And he proved-as Douglas Mac Arthur also demonstrated by stand ing first in his class at West Point that a boys start in college sets the pace for what comes after. Stone served for three years as president of his class, attained Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, managed the Amherst Student, played a star game of football, and was voted by his classmates the member who would become most famous
 Perhaps Calvin Coolidge, who was one class behind Stone, remember ed that record when Coolidge-sud- denly catapulated from the Vice Presidency into the White House looked around for a new Attorney General and finally selected his old college-nate who had worked so hard and done so well at Amherst.

The TrujiiIIo
Staying

The most surprising thing about
the Trujillo murder is that it took
SO long to happen. Incidents of
this kind have been happening for
long time but never have they
involved anything as serious as
murder. 1t was not uncommon
for an important foreigner, whoes
complexion happened to be a little
darker than native American
whites, to be refused service at a
fashionable hotel or restaurant,
in the north as well as the south.
But these affairs were usually
hushed up quickly and since moth
ing more sacred than a mans
self respect was involved, moth
ing came Of them. Now, a mans
most precious possession, life it
self, has been sacrificed to south
ern tradition - and the whole
world knows about it.
Perhaps even more important
than a mans life is the effect
I Trujillo's death will have on race
relations within the United States
and on relations between preju-
diced United States and it's liberal
foreign neighbors.
The United Nations is currently
examining the plight of minority
groups throughout the world.
America is almost certain to come
in for good deal of discussion.
1t seems very likely, with the
Dominican Republic sitting in on
these discussions as a member of
the United Nations, that the Tru-
jillo affair will be examined under
strong light. This light is GER
tain to remove some of the shad-
ows surrounding United States
race relations which the vested
interests in this country have
striven so long to build up.
Although the United Nations
cannot take any direct action, this
airing in public of Uncle Sans
dirty linen will certainly have an
effect on the position Of democra-
tic world leadership which this
country has assumed. tt has al
ready been criticized abroad for
the fascism it allows to exist in
the south. With such definite
and sharp thing as the Trujil1o

PROFITABLE CURB MARKET
ESTABLISHED BY All YOUTH

gave Clarence a new estimate of
$40. He was still $40 short even
if he cashed in his bond, but he
did have two calves which he
planned to raise. Perhaps he
could sell them.
A week later, Clarence had hold
mis- calves and enough vegetables
off his crude table to PUNK down
the $40 without touching his bond.
By the middle of July is market
was finished and he had made
arrangements to buy fruits, vege-
tables, chickens, and eggs from
neighboring farmers and resell
them at his market. Clarence
calls his market the "4-H Club
Roadside Market, and he permits
all Alters to sell on it who wish
to do so.
Last summer, a year after the
All market had opened, Clarence
was crossing as much as $40 per
day during the peak season, and
his books showed that he had
done slightly over $4,000 in gross
volume during the year.
In order to raise more of his
own produce for market, Clarence
began sharecropping 200 acres
with his high school principal
| this year. He put five acres in
sweet corn, three acres in sweet
potatoes, two acres in watermel-
ons, an acre in cabbage, an acre
in tomatoes, and a fourth of an
acre in lima beans, and several
rows of string beans, cucumbers,
| beets, and carrots. Also, he plant
ed 800 acres to cotton, 80 acres to
corn and left about 100 acres of
pasture land for his brood stock
of Is calves which he bought this
year. Clarence hired most of the
chopping and picking of his cotton
but did all the blowing himself
with a tractor.
1t is Clarence's plan to go to
college and learn all ne can about
livestock and dairying Thirteen
miles from Memphis is good
! location for a dairy" he says.
This, of course, will be in addi-
ton to his profitable curb market.

have already worked out some
kind of plan which would keep a
visiting Latin American away
from its jim crow skeleton in the
closet.
But do these good will ambas-
sailors realize that all one of these
dark skinned emissaries has to do
is to pull frax pas on a street
car or in restaurant in order
to be subject to the same kind of
brutality that young Trujillo huff
fered?
Probably the relization of this
threat to local business and to the
United States position as world
leader will do more to end racial
discrimination than any action
ever taken by native American
groups.

church and, therefore, null and
void because two-thirds of the
annual conferences did not vote
to approve an extra session of
the General Conference, which is
required by the Discipline, the
complaint declares.
The call is also in violation of
the church laws which require
preachers in charge of circuits and
stations to be notified of the ex-
ira session of the General Con-
ference in writing, it is asserted.
No such notice was given, the
complaint says.
The call also is in violation of
the church, laws because two
thirds of the churches of the de-
nomination did not vote their con-
sent nor approve of this extra
session. it is alleged.
Another defect in the call is
that it fails to set forth specifi-
cally the purposes and business
proposed to be transacted at this
extra session, it is stated. Such
language as matters referred to
in a communication" or "well
known matters within the twelfth
episcopal district" or "to so regu-
late the Council of Bishops as to
make it more effective" the COM
plant states, is too general to
meet the requirements of the
church laws.
The Baltimore Annual Confer
ence as the plaintiff in the suit
alleges that as one of the con-
ferences and subdivisions of the
church, it must bear proportion
ate part of the expenses of this
illegally called extra session OF
the General Conference, if it is
held, unless reliever of these bur-
densome expenses by the court.
1t also alleges that it may suf-
fer irreparable damages in that
this extra session, in all prababil-
ity, will pass laws which would be
of great detriment to it.
The plaintiff states that it has
exhausted all celestial remedies
which might be invoked to avoid
threatened irreparable injury.
