unpleasant indictment often

Our young men especially in
a peace Time army, must be
taught both to live and prac-

In serious summary. Unless
we indoctrinate our armed forces

enemy propagandiSts, including

to confuse our youth who arc
already badly confused as to

What is the basis of prejudice
anyhow" said an intelligent
woman to me not long ago. She
was attending a convention of
General Federation Of Women's
Clubs in New York City and
had been startled by the violent
changes of opinion which had
come over that convention with
regard to the Stratton Bill.
The Stratton Bill provides
that four hundred thousand Of
the European displaced per-
sons may be admitted to the
United States within the next
four years if they are admissible
on all other grounds than those

eminent by force and violence.
The Federation of Wolnens
Clubs has come a long way since
its early conventions when it
took little notice of public az
fairs and rarely passed resolu-
tons on any matter having to
do with political action. In the
days of the Convention
q resolution was introduced to
endorse the Stratton Bill and to
communicate with members OF
Congress to that effect. The

The reports Of numerous recent
visitors to Europe who have seen
the displaced persons" gave
testimony that some of the nm
est people in Europe are among
those who wish to come.
The following afternoon a
new resolution was introduced
at the Federation's meeting, en-
dorSing the Stratton Bill. and
it was passed with very little
debate. Persuasion and an APP
peal to reason rather than pref
udice, had been at work, and
the President expressed her APP
probation of the action of the
Federation, and added signih-
neatly that she was very proud
of the intelligence, stability, and
poise of the FIVE thousand ddele-

correct what they decided in a
cooler moment had been mis-

The first school in the New Han

Two other schools. she added,
have been approved for the plan
but it has not been placed into
operation by them. They are
Washington Catlett and William

Previously, a dinner plate in the
Lake Forest cafeteria cost 20
cents, plus six cents for milk.
Under the new program, made
possible through federal financial
assistance, a plate with n meat
and two vegetables and bread,
plus a bottle of milk, costs IS
cents. The federal government
will reimburse the school nine
cents to take care of a part of
the cost of the meal.
Through the new plan, all
menus are set up by the federal
agency, which ais. prohibits the
selling Of any other food or drinks
in the cafeteria, Mrs. Williams
said. When surplus commodities
become available, the lunch will
also include fruit and cake, it was
