AUXILIARY PRESIDENT
 TELLS OF ORIGIN OF
 MEMORIAL DAY POPPY
By Lenabelle Greene

l believe this is the fitting and oppOrtune time for us to talk about the Memorial Poppy. l hope it may call attention to our duty of assist ing in the sale of Topples on May 29, the Saturday preceding Memor- ial Day. During the war when or ders came to march into the face of the enemy, it was a hard ad- vance for our boys to make, but nevertheless they faced it. One sold fer said: 'I have but one life to lose and do not know when that will be-" Yes, they had their lives to lose in order that We at home might have ours to live.
 Twice in one generation our men have had to raise up arms to de- fend the people against a powerful and mad enemy. American blood has been shed all over the world from the So. Pacific to Burma, to the Aleutians and through France, Belgium and Holland. Every year on the Saturday before Memorial Day millions of Americans wear a little red poppy over their hearts in memory of those who lost their lives in the service of their coun- try.
 The Memorial Poppy came into being following World War l. In France and Belgium to the North Sea, the ground was trampled by the heavy ahOes of millions of fighting men. Into this area hun dreds of thousands of American soldiers marched in 19I7-1S. As the American soldiers struggled on through shattered villages and shen-torn fields, they saw only one touch of life and beauty In that region where death and des-

An Accord With Fronco?

There is great deal of sense in Senator
Chan Gurney's suggestion that there be
a complete re-establishment of all rela-
tions between Spain and the United States.
Although as Nation we seem to have
a positive genius for deluding ourselves,
we ought to be able to see things little
more clearly than we did two years ago.
At that time, spurred on by the phony
Russian claim that Franco Spain was a
threat to international peace, the United
Nations adopted resolution condemning
the Franco regime, and the United States,
with a number of other nations. withdrew
its ambassador.
That was thoroughly discreditable per-
formance, both on our own part and on
the part of the U. N. For the latter, after
an investigation, found that Spain was not
threat to peace. Nevertheless, appar-
emily to placate Mr.. Gromyko who was
demanding that they not wait until "the
cannons begin to speak," the U. N. went

on to interfere in Spain's internal affairs
by voting the resolution of censure, while
this country and Britain called upon the
Spanish people to get rid of Franco.
BY this time, however, it has become
pretty clear where the real threat to peace
lies. 1t is Russia, not Spain, who is today
before the bar of the United Nations And
as one looks at the situation now, there is
cause for qualification in the fact that the
Russians did not succeed in putting over
the Spanish deal at time when they were
proving to be quite adept at plucking out
our eye teeth.
If the solution of our difficulties with
Russia is to lie in recourse to arms, a pos
sibility which can no longer be ignored,
then Spain is going to be of considerable
military Importance to us. 1t is time that
we recognized this fact and set out to
patch up the differences which have been
Of our own making. 1t may be conceded
that Franco is dictator of a sort, and
that he helped the Axis during the recent
war. But these are not reasons why we
should now let the Russians manipulate
the Spanish question to our disadvantage.

De GuuIIe Speuks

The statements made by General Charles
de Gaulle in recent press interview at
least partially clarity the somewhat enig-
matte program and policies proposed by
the leader of the political movement known
at the Rally of the French People.
OF course, De Gaulle's basic attitude is
plain. His primary criticism is against
the existing French Constitution, which
he denounced from it's inception as per-
petuating the governmental weakness and
uncertainty that caused the downfall of
the Third Republic. Indeed, he resigned
the Provisional Presidency of liberated
France in protest against the adoption of
this Constitution. And events have gone
far to confirm his prediction of its un-
workability. This gives him an important
tactical advantage in his avowed attempt
to attain power
De Gaulle's pronouncement comes at
critical moment in Frances political life.
The present French Cabinet is obviously
makeShift affair, and it is faced with a
twofold crisis. On the one hand, the bulk
of organized labor is planning series of
crippling strikes for higher wages. But
this evokes counter-move by business
and industry to demand higher prices. If
the government yields, the inflationary
spiral will take another drastic upward
turn which will upset official efforts at
financial stabilization and jeopardize the
benefits OF the Marshall Plan. Parliament
has ducked responsibility by adjourning
until mid-November. Popular confidence
in the government and Parliament alike
Is at low ebb; yet the Assembly, domi-
mated by an unstable coalition of center
parties, refuses to call new elections which
would reflect the admittedly changed
temper of public opinion. 1t is this dan
gerous impasse to which De Gaulle re-
ferred when he stated: If the people are
not consulted and If the country drifts
into a state of collapse and illegitimacy,
reserve until then what is to follow"
The ominous implications of that last
phrase are obvious
For the world at large, De Gaulles state
ments on foreign affairs are perhaps even
more interesting. Outstanding is his criti-
cism of the Western European Alliance as
mot worth much" while he contends that
defense plans should center in France
rather than in Britain Since France is
not today militarily capable Of bearing the
brunt of Soviet aggression, this would
seem to imply drastic recasting OF West
ern strategy based on intensive French
rearmament by American aid. He like
wise reiterated his former criticism OF the
London agreement for West German
regime, though he agreed fully on firm
attitude toward Moscow in Berlin.
rh. 1oofca, deduction from all this is
that De Gaulle's advent to power would
entail far-reaching readjustments in the
relations of America and Britain with
their French partner. Although De
Gaullist regime does not appear to be
Immediately in the cards, the deterioration
of Frances situation is so rapid that it
should be considered as an eventuality
in the not-distant future. Thus. clari-
fication of De Gaulles position is to be
desired

Polar Archives

The papers found in whisky bottle at
Cape Sheridan on August may not De
very important in themselves. But the
discovery of the cache may stimulate IN
terest in a quest for other documentary
evidence of exploration of the Arctic. The
leaving of written messages has been
common practice among Polar pioneers
for at least century. Commander Robert
E. Peary simply followed standard pro-
cedure when he signed the "log" of Sep
tember 5, 1905, chronicling the arrival OF
his ship, the Roosevelt. In his statement
he acknowledged his abstraction OF Sir
George Mares record" from a cairn at
Floberg Beach, The 1875 testimony he
ordered copied and deposited with his own.
Such caches are scattered all over the
Arctic area As many as possible should
be retrieved and brought back for study.
Specifically, search ought to be made for
the metal cylinder which DR.. Frederick A.
Cook insisted to his dying day he left at
what he believed to be the North Pole
During the bitter controversy between the
two claimants to the honor of being first
to reach the top of the world both men
let it be understood that they had left
evidence OF their presence in the neigh
borhood In theory the ice of the vast
Arctic Ocean has drifted south in the past
four decades-and melted. Yet, there is
a chance that caches left at the Pole might
be rescued even now.
Many responsible men-Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley for example-were willing to
accept the stories of both men. 1t was
not infeasible that both had succeeded in
their efforts Their rivalry naturally
divided the public into two camps, each
group blindly partisan The echoes of the
quarrel never have died away. Mean
while, the find at Cape Sheridan suggests
a conceivable liquidation of the ancient
controversy. If latter-day explorers of the
polar region will be as quick to recognize
such caches and to salvage their contents
as Charles j. Hubbard of the Weather
Bureau was on August 3, a whole new
chapter in Arctic history may be written
or an old one rewritten.

Strike Talk

WAsHINGTON-strike talk is in the air
among telephone workers. Rival C1O and
independent unions are working hand-in-glove
to enlist public support for higher wages. II
nothing Is done by October is large bloc OF
telephone workers, members Of the Independent
Communications Workers Of America (CWA
and the CIO Telephone Workers Organizing
Committee, will have to decide whether to walk
out or to work without q pay increase for
another year.
The various Bell System presidents are re-
ported about to gather secretly in New York
or Boston, and the unions thinks they'll decide
to hold the line right up to the deadline. BY
then they will know which union divisions are
weak, which strong.

week for plant. employees, about $3.50 for hello

A Joint Committee Is Needed

The Commissioners are going through
the usual motions now of making up the
details of budget for the year that begins
next July-nine months hence.
The department heads have submitted
estimates of what they will need The cost
of meeting these needs exceeds the rev.
enue from present taxes by more than
$13 900. The Commissioners will cut
these down and send the result to the
Budget Bureau. There it will be incor-
porated in the national budget and sent to
the new Congress as soon as it is Or
ganized.
All these preliminary steps are necessary
as working basis. But the real budget
making for the District Is done by Con-
gress, which usually gets around to the
District in March or April, finishing up
early in June.
This year the local budget requires ex-
traordinary consideration that should not
be left to established routine. And the
best and most workmanlike departure
from established routine would be for the
new Congress to set up joint committee
to handle the city's financial problem.
One decision that must be made in the
next session is whether to extend to mu-
nicipal employees the same salary increases
voted for their brethren in the Federal
service last June. They are entitled to it
and 1t will be unfair to withhold 1t. But
that decision depends on what sort of tax
legislation Congress will approve. For
without additional revenue, higher salaries
cannot be paid. Ordinarily, these two de-
cisions would be made by the District
legislative committees.
The other decision relates to the budget
itself; how much money the District will
have to spend and for what purposes.
That decision rests with the Appropria-
tions Committees, which work independ-
emily of the legislative committees. This
year, In addition, serious consideration
must be given to borrowing for certain
improvements, such as schools. But while
the Appropriations Committees would de-
eide on the expenditure of borrowed
money, the decision on borrowing would
rest with the legislative committees.
The sensible procedure would be estab-
hshment of Joint committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. It would handle tax
legislation and take care of the budget at
the same time. The two belong together
and it is impossible, in the government of
a municipality, to obtain any intelligent
budgeting by divorcing them. The joint
committee has been suggested many times.
The Districts tangled financial problem
would fare better this next session if the
sensible step of establishing a ioint COM
mittee were taken
