The American people are on
trial in the eyes of the world
today. representatives of so
women's organizations were
told yesterday.
Fine sounding words and
eloquent slogans. by themselves,
no longer are convincing" de-
clared Representative Florence
P. Dwyer, of New York, in a
speech prepared for delivery at
a luncheon session of the Ma
tional Women's Conference on
Intergroup Relations, at the
Shoreham Hotel.
In plain, old fashioned
language, the time is long
overdue when We, as a people,
should begin practicing what
we preach" she asserted.
A House vote prevented Re-
preventative Dwyer from APP
pearing and her speech was
read by Mrs. Julie B. Kirlin,
women's finance chairman of
the Republican National Com
mittee.
Representative Dwyer par
ticularly called for enactment
of civil rights legislation.
After all, the basic purpose of
law is to establish safeguards
for the perpetuation and pro-
lection of moral and spiritual
Standards she stated. And if
laws are enacted to protect
society from the wrongs of
killing and stealing, why
then" she asked, should we
say there should be no laws
to protect US from the wrongs
OF prejudice and intolerance?"
AT the same time, MEM
bers attending the conference,
sponsored by the B'nai Birth
Women'S Supreme Council in
cooperation with the Anti
Defamation League OF B'nai
Birth, were warned that the
United States as a world
leader must face the question
of discrimination.
Peace in the world depends
so largely on what We do"
declared former Connecticut
Representative Chase Going
Woodhouse.
Wherever you go in the
world, you as a representative
OF your country. are faced with
this question of racial dis
elimination. And I think We
ought to realize, too. that this
isn't the only problem-that
we practice Just as much men,
tai discrimination. particularly
when it comes to viewing other
peoples culture in the light of
our own"
Mrs. Woodhouse was one OF
five speakers addressing a
morning session of the con-
ference in which discussion
centered on how better in
tergroup relations may be
achieved through the four-way
approach of school, church,
family and community.
In anticipation Of a peak Job
application increase expected
in 1870. Miss Margaret Garrity
of the Presidents Committee
on Government Contracts, said
the only way to meet the an
ticipated crisis is for women's
groups to start now in reduce

elimination in employment.

, the canal and pipelines are agar
operational.
! Precisely how big the current
oil shortage is no one knows, be-
cause all figures are based or
guesseS of what the French
economy would be consuming
normally in 1857 and guesses as
to the annual delivery rate Of
the rescue operation. But here
are some rough round figures to
illustrate the deficit:
French sources estimate that
if 1857 were normal, the country
would import about 10 million
metric tons of oil through the
pipelines. IS million through the
Suez canal, 81 million from
across the Atlantic United
States and Venezuela and a few
odds and ends from other
sources, including Russia. France
would expect to produce about
13 million tons domestically
there are some good producing
wells near Bordeaux.
/ Total intake of oil then would
be around q million metric
tons.
/ The dislocation caused by the
canal and pipeline blockages
will reduce this total to an an
nual rate Of around 1914 million
tons.
France assumes it will get its
normal domestic and croSs-At-
lantic supplies plus an emer-
gency 10 million ton contrib
ution from the Americas plus

france normally would Wf1ne
and then export about SIS mil
lion tons. half of it to North
Africa and the rest to other Eu-
.ropean nations. The European
exports probably will be almost
entirely shut off, but the North
African commitments are too
rigid to be reduced significantly.
So we find that for strictly
domestic consumption. Frances
1857 annual rate will be reduced
from 2l.5 million tons to about
1854. To simplify m a alters
Frenchmen talk about a 5 mil
lion ton deficit.

the pipeline oil were not lost,
France would have no oil short

made up by the extra cross-At-
lantic oil and the reduction in
French exports to Europe.
There could even be a saving
Most canal oil went from Basra
or Abadan in the Persian Gulf
to French Atlantic ports, such
as lie Havre. That was a dis
lance of about $500 nautical
miles. That oil is being replaced
by Gulf of Mexico exports, which
travel only about 5000 nautical
miles from Galveston to LIE
Havre.
The $500 miles saved would
in effect increase available
tanker capacity and perhaps per-
NIT France to import from across
the Atlantic all she has lost
through the canal-thuS contin-
uing her money earning exports.
All this is academic in that
the pipelines are closed to
France. But it does point up
the fact that loss of the canal
alone could be overcome; it is
the shutdown of the pipes that
depriveS Frenchmen of their gas
oline and apartment heat.
What more could be done to
alleviate the shortage that does
exist?
In America, probably nothing.
The 10 million tons of extra oil
is not the maximum the Ameri-
cas- could produce for France in
this emergency, but it is believed
here to be all the worlds avail
able oil tankers could carry.
Believe U. S. Embargo Story
incidentally, the average
Frenchman still believes the
United States applied an en-
barge on oil shipments to France
and Britain between the time
the Suez attack was launched at
the end of October and the time
tin early December when the
two countries promised to obey
United Nations orders to get out
of Egypt. Recent American sta
tistics proving that oil shipments
increased sharply from the week
after the war started have not
been widely circulated here. The
now-diScredited stories coming
from America during November
that an embargo existed are still
believed.
1t is ssumed by the few
Frenchmen who are up on the
latest facts that American Gov

land with extra oil shipments
were so successful that the whole
world still believes the tale.
Coal No Solution
Can France shift to coal in
order to ease the oil shortage?
Probably not. Extra coal would
have to come from the United
States. which would not help.
Frances other big problem, the
growing dollar shortage. And
few oil burning factories could
shift effectively to coal before
the shortage ends.
How is the traditional French

then when the government an
'nounced a few days later that
estimates of minimum CONNER
cial needs totaled 140 per cent
of normal gasoline consumption
for this time of year.
The public got quite a chuckle
out of it and settled back to
watch the struggle for available
supplies.
But what the public did not
know was that the government
announced that 140 per cent
figure before most of the esti-
mates had been received and
before more than a handful had
been tabulated. The government
was merely outthinking the
commercial users. Anticipating
there would be exaggerationS,
the government tried to shame
the users into honesty by crying
foul in advance.
1t was a common opinion here,
however. that many commercial
users ultimately outfoxed the
government by deciding that if
140 per cent was the normal
exaggeration, they would raise
theirs to $50.
Officials Use System
But government ration Off
Gals are confident they have
had the last word. For they
assumed that only the lowest
estimates ultimately submitted
were honest. They threw away
the highest ones in each cate
CORY of commercial user and
averaged the lowest. The low
, average was then announced as
the standard ration for all users
in that category.
This little game illustrates the
difficulties France has had ad-
Justing to the shutdown of the
Suez Canal and Middle East oil
pipelines. The mechanical ad-
justment seems to have been
made successfully, however. AL
tentative sources of oil and
transportation routes have been
found. A closely controlled dis
tribution system allocateS the
petroleum.
The job, now. insofar as oil
is concerned, is to hold out until
spring when the canal and pipes
should be operating again.
Key Facts of Shortage
There are three key facts in
the current oil shortage:
First, it is little known, but
true, that the shortage has been
created not by the closing of the
canal. but by the blocking of
the pipelines running across the
Arabian peninsula.
Second, maximum rescue eff
forts. particularly in the Amer
icas, already have been made,

Of the American Way of Life"
This certainly indicates that
somewhere along the line Cap

lost some of those basic prin-
ciples that made us the great
nation that we are, and which,
if we do not find them again,
will lose US our place in the
sun.
One of these basic principles
that is already partially lost
is our free enterprise system
we witness our Federal Gov

over 700 businesses that are in
competition with free enter
prisers. The company which
Captain Rickenbacker heads,

ample of what can be accom-

but Of even more Importance,
it pays taxes-While, on the
other hand, the 700 govern

the aggregate, are operated at
a tremendous loss, requiring
tax-money to cover their
deficits.

1t is one that can not be shirked, leaving it
to chance if anything happens. If a COM

willing to work together without thought of

For in building a better town, every
citizen is, indeed, helping himself as we'll as

more opportunity than one going the other
way. No community stands still. 1t either
goes forward, or backwards And the action

Building of Pinellas Interna-

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
famous Ace of World War l,
now Chairman of the Board of

ITO create harmony among

"Re-discover them first,
practice them at home, and
then preach them TO all our

demonstrate these principles in
our daily lives, our country
will remain strong spiritually
as well as physically.

Guest Editorial
Jefferson Gazette

Last weekend couple of young busi-
nessmen looking for spot to establish an
enterprise came to Jefferson. They were
impressed by the fine homes, the shaded
lawns The school and Memorial Field looked
good to them and they were pleased to know
of the airport facilities, the abundance of
water, natural gas and cheap power.
"They marveled at the fact that two
financial institutions in town of 2200 had
assets of nearly nine million. Looking at the
business section along North Chestnut
Street, they only shook their heads with
misgivings.
''We tried to convince them that the
town was progressing and called attention
to the new store fronts on South Chestnut
Street. We don't know how successful we
were.
''To' many people, building a town is
done in a grand flourish They only think
of working for progress when something big
is afoot or when they have been given
jolt by loss of something they have felt was
secure
Building a community is a constant,
steady job. For only thru attention to the
small details caT those who would produce
the big ones be drawn into the town.
"Cleanliness and order are two most
apparent marks of a progressive community.
A clean, orderly town is always filled with
