Food Parcel Profits
To the Editor OF The Star.

To the Editor of The Star
Recently you printed an article about profi-
teering on food or relief parcels by private
concerns The impression was created that
a ma ajority of the concerns who sell and ship
these parcels are swindlers who take the
American public 'for a ride"
Being connected with a local concern which
has shipped thousands Of these food parcels
not only to Germany but to almost all other
countries where there is need for food. wish
to point out that this food parcel business is
q legitimate business which naturally makes
q fair profit for the concerns handling them
just like any other merchandise bought In
stores.
While the purchaser buys these parcels for
relatives, friends or even strangers abroad, the
concerns selling the parcels are not charitable
institutions and anyone expecting a merchant
to sell food parcels without profit just because
the need Is great doesn't know about the over
head expenses connected with running busi-
ness today.
Even the CARE parcels are sold at retail
prices and in many cases private concerns are
able to deliver merchandise at q lower price.
CARE Is not q government agency ana carr
does make q profit which it has to, IKE any
other business, in order to meet expenses Aho
keep going. .,;. l..

Doc Mart Revival

The dog market at Fredericksburg is to
be revived this autumn. Plans already
have been made for the resumption of a
|, neighborhood custom dating back to 1898.
Descendants of the Pamunky Indians who
started the habit in Governor Andros'
reign are to take part in the renaissance
of it. A program including dog exhibitions
and trading, auctions, athletic competi-
tions, pageant and formal ball is being
arranged, and visitors are expected from
all portions of Virginia.
Perhaps the idea of such annual dog
marts originated in England. There is
a place on the Bethnal Green road in the
East End of London where CANNES of
every description are offered for sale on
Sunday mornings, and tradition aff1rms
that similar trading centerS were numer-
Gus throughout Britain in Shakespeare'S
time.
The early settlers OF Virginia brought
dogs with them, and the animals impressed
the Indians as nothing else possessed by
the colonists did. Old records set forth
that the natives we're $50 covetous" OF
hunting dogs especially that "a day was
designated each October" for trading
hounds and pointers for furs and other
articles. The market was continued until
the Revolutionary War and was re-estab-
lished at Fredericksburg in le27-to oper-
ate until World War II interrupted in 1941.
One of the features of the perennial
occasion always has been horn-blowing
contest. Conceivably, the whole affair is
blowing of Fredericksburg's horn more or
less; but in any case the dogs are to have
their day and it is safe bet that goodly
crowd OF humans will assemble to watch
them enjoy it.

Post Office improvements

Post Office Department employees who
submit practical suggestions for the i'm
provement of the service receive cash
prizes for their helpfulness. They also
are accorded constructive publicity in the
Postal Bulletin, official organ of "the
largest business organization in the world"
Further, the fact that they have been
thus recognized is noted on their per-
sonnel records for all time.
But not even the prospect of such de-
srable rewards has brought forth any
feasible proposal for the elimination of
red tape in the daily routine of the serv-
ice There still is too much duplication,
too much unnecessary detail involved in,
for example, the issuing of money order.
About twenty different operations are re-
quired by customer and clerk before the
transaction in each instance is completed.
The so-called postal notes" introduced
several years ago have not proved popular.
People still want the familiar blue-green
slips as a convenience of remittance. Yet
every man or woman who ever has stood
In line for ten or twenty minutes while all
the tedious minutiae Of the prevailing sys-
tenn were followed to a tedious conclusion
must wish that it could be simplifed.
Perhaps it would bring results If Post
master General Donaldson would offer a
special grand prize" for new money
order technique-a procedure that would
make it as easy to sell money order as
it now is to sell stamp.
The waste of time and effort repre-
sented in filling out the three standard
portions of collect on delivery" parcel
post tag is another pattern that cries
aloud for correction. At least five minutes
are needed by clerk dealing with such a
job Taking care of bulk mailings from
stores and factories Is a nerve-racking
task which symbolizes red tape at its
worst. Public appreciation of the ineffi-
cheney of repetitious forms has grown until
Evening star., 1948-08-11
demands for simplifcation now are daily

demands for simplifcation now are daily
phenomenon.
OF course, the customers OF the post
ofIice can contribute toward improvement
by their own attitude and performance.
More legible writing on money order appli-
cations and C. O. D. tags would help clerks
in their task of deciphering. 1t also would
be a good idea for people to make more
effective use of the earlier hours of the
day in postal business. They should not
delay until the last minute and then rush
in and expect to be waited on instantly.

Frances Financial Test

The new French cabinets demand upon
the National Assembly for emergency
powers to cope with the crucial problem
of finance offers what may be decisive
test of the governments ability to handle
this supremely important issue.
The problem is not new. 1t harassed the
political life of the Third Republic, and
thus far the Fourth Republic has shown
scant disposition to grapple boldly and
honestly with an issue which the late war
and it's aftermath have greatly intensified.
It is significant that the same doctor has
been called upon to prescribe for Frances
economic ills. He is Paul Reynaud, who,
just decade ago. proposed similar rem
edy. Now he is back again as Minister OF
Finance He is able to point to history In
Justification of his drastic proposals. But
he is faced with the same opposition and
pressures that baked his endeavor to shore
up Frances shaky financial structure on
the eve of World War H.
Unsound public finance has been histori-
callv characteristic of France, which pre-
sents the paradoxical contrast of wealthy
nation and a government chronically
threatened with insolvency. Reynaud Is
the lineal successor of the Swiss banker,
Necker, who vainly strove to remedy the
budgetary mess which did so much to de-
stroy the Old Regime in the great Revo-
luton of 1889. Now, as then the govern
ment cannot balance it's books And the
reasons are official extravaganza, ineff1-
cheney, faulty taxation, and the sinister in
fluence of powerful pressure groups. Rey-
naud's program of economic reforms
stresses a sharp reduction in Frances
sprawling bureaucracy, Tightening up OF
taxation with a breakdown on tax eva
sion, reorganization of nationalized and
and power to implement the whole pro-
gram by decree without specific legislative
authorization for such measures.
The economic soundness and urgency of
| this program are self-evident But 1t will
step on many toes The Socialists are up
! In arms because it will curb the privileges
| and favoritism now accorded the working
classes. Tax reform will anger the farm
ers, who are the most notorious tax evad-
ers, together with other groups. Also,
the entire bureaucracy will fight for its
redundant jobs. Lastly, the Communists
will seek to sabotage any measure for eco
nomic stability. Thus, Paul Reynaud faces
q dubious battle in the Chamber when his
program comes up for discussion and
adoption.
But Reynaud does not pull his punches.
He warns both the politicians and the pub
lie that France is today coasting along on
