in this fight together"
British treasury experts sand the
new move would mean less food
and clothing for their countrymen.
They said Britain would buy only
what she can afford" and would
hold down her buying from coun-
tries which would not accept
sterling.
She still will pay Canada for food
partly in dollars to help that do

that came to be the usual practice
but there are 1,400 real estate

But that doesn't mean there's

A real estate man who testified
yesterday said he believed the inves-

Antitrust Violation Sought.
r. A. Humphries, jr., said the JUS

Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF

ton Of which was used for lobbying
purposes. He Is interested in legis-

Mr.. Sifton reported that he re-
ceives n salary Of $4,000 a year

sues which are under consideration.
Some observers Of the Washing
ton scene are Of the opinion that
one means Of partially remedying
this situation would be 20 move
the national offices Of the NAACP
from New York to Washington so
that officers Of the association
could devote more time and Rtten-
ton to what Is taking place here.
Washington is the logical place for
such offices, II is the nerve center
Of the world. and certainly what
happens here affects more colored
people than do incidents which take
place elsewhere.
Whether that IL done OF not, Il
appears that stronger representa-
ton and adequate research stats
are necessary II the views Of eolOred
people are to be brought intelh-
gently and foreefully to the atten-
ton Of members Of Congress.
