Washi1ngton Merry-Go-Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN
WASHINGTON-In the headlines, lend-lease
aid to Britain is chiefly a story of planes, tanks,
ships, guns and munitions. But these dramatic
war supplies are only one part of the picture.
As equally vital, though little known,'phase of
this gigantic program is food.
Today, practically every ship leaving U.S.
shores for embattled England carries stocks of
food as part of its cargo. Also significant is the
fact that this steady flow of food shipments
differs markedly from those of World War days:
Then the foodstuffs were in bulk form-boat-
loads of grain and fresh meats. But now, with
British and Allied shipping suffering terrible
destruction, there aren't enough bottoms to
transport both bulky armaments and bulky food
across the hazardous Atlantic.
Since the cargo space for bulky armaments
cannot be reduced, and with the British food
situation becoming acute, food is being shipped
in concentrated and dehydrated form. Thus it
is carried in the same ships with arms and muni-
tions, making up relatively little space.
The extent of these shipments and what they
meant -to the American farmer is shown graphic-
ally by the following list of lend-lease food
purchases between June 1 and July 19:
American cheese, 20,483,175 pounds; corn
startch, 35,820,000 pounds; frozen eggs, 36,648,-
630 pounds; dried eggs, 4,458,650 pounds; canned
fish, 1,083,052 cases; dehydrated soup, 4,400,000
pounds; soy beans, 9,070,000 pounds; dried beans,
40,770,000 pounds; corn sugar, 5,596,000 pounds;
enzymes, 3,360 pounds; dried apricots, 9,986,000
pounds; honey, 3,557,300 pounds; enriched flour,
399,000 pounds; concentrated orange juice, 92,-
302 gallons; Vitamin A, 2,547,183 units; Vitamin
B1, 3,965 kilograms; peanut butter, 1,762,000
pounds; lard, 28,662,720 pounds.
Note-Management of the lend-lease food
program is under the Surplus Marketing Admin-
istration, aided by the U.S. Public Health Serv1q
ice, the British Ministry of Health and the
Anglo-American Food Purchasing Committee.
Winston Churchill Phones
It was hot in Washington. Everyone who could
possibly get out of town had left. This did not
apply, of course, to thousands of government
workers, nor to hundreds of big-top executives
sweating over the Defense program. Nor did it
apply, at the moment, to two ladies, the beautiful
Evie Roberts, wife of the ex-Democratic National
Secretary, and the gracious Mrs. Lionel Atwill,
ex- wife of General Douglas MacArthur, new
military potentate of *e Philippines.
Hot and a bit bored, Mrs. Robert and Mrs.
Atwill decided that Washington needed cheering
up. So one of them picked up the telephone,
called the White House.
'Is this the White House?" asked Mrs. Atwill
in a broad British accent. "This is the oversease
operator, London calling. Mr. Winston Churchill
would like to speak to Mr. Steve Early. And, oh
yes, Mr. Churchill asks Mr. Early to pay for the
call."
There was excitement at the other end of the
telephone for a moment, then:
"Ask Mr. Churchill to wait for a moment. Mr.
Early will take the call in the other room."
But all Mr. Early got was some amused
snickers.
Later Secretary of the Interior' Ickes got a
call from Winston Churchill, charges reversed.
But the economical Mr. Ickes refused to pay
for the call-even from the supposed Prime
Minister of England.
The Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles
also received a call, and while he was willing to
pay for it, he was the only one who kept Mr.
Churchill waiting. His secretary said Mr. Welles
was busy and that he could not speak to the
Prime Minister for at least ten minutes.
So passes the hot weather in Washington.
Freezing Chinese Funds
There was one unwritten chapter in the story
of American freezing of funds of those two
Oriental neighbors, Japan and China.
It was published that the funds of friendly
China were frozen as well as the funds of un-
friendly Japan. But unpublished was the fact
that China for four months had been asking the
State Department to freeze its funds, but the
State Department had refused.
China's request was quite unusual. for most
nations object strenuously to having their funds
frozen. ,For instance, Switzerland, hearing that
she would be included with Germany when
Hitler's funds were frozen, argued for weeks.
But in the case of China, many of her funds
are in the hands of big Chinese merchants and
bankers in Shanghai, who for business reasons
are playing in with the Japanese. And they
have been draining Chinese currency from the
country.
So Roosevelt's special Chinese emissary,
Lauchlin Currie, was requested by Chiang Kai-
shek to ask Secretary of State Hull to freeze,
Chinese funds. This would have hamstrung the
pro-Japanese Chinese.
However, Secretary Hull refused. Twice Chi-
ang Kai-shek made the request, but both times
it was refused. In fact the State Department
even denied that such a request was made, pre-
sumably on the ground that it came not through
diplomatic channels, but through Mr. Currie,
who is only a White House secretary.
Finally, however, when Japanese funds were
frozen, Chiang Kai-shek got his request fulfilled.
But it took Japanese aggression in the South
Pacific to do it.
STUPID Staff
By Terence
'Tort, Dick And Harry'
H ERE'S a must for anyone these
hot summer days: the Ginger
Rogers Tom, Dick and Harry bit be-
ing shown currently at the Michigan.
It's really a peach, and so is she,
and I haven't given you many bum
steers this year, have I?
No kidding, folks, it's about the
most entertaining movie I've seen
out of Hollywood in the last seven
or eight years, and being somewhat
on the cinemaddic side, I've picked
up quite a few in my roamings.
It's all about a young girl who
works for a telephone company. She
goes and gets herself engaged to
three fellows: one rich, one ambi-
tious, one poor and unambitious. And
therein lies a tale, and how.
I don't need to tell you what Gin-
ger Rogers is like. I've been follow-
ing her (never could quite seem to
catch up with her, darn it) since
way back in the days of Roberta and
Top Hat. And she gets better and
more gorgeous every year.
Anyway, like I started to say, Tom,
Dick and Harry is really swell .. .
and you're a bigger dope than I am
if you miss it.
Sidewalk Foremen
WHILE I'm on the subject of thea-
tres, thanks to the humane indi-
viduals who conceived the idea of
putting two glass panes in the fence
around the front of the new theatre
being constructed on State Street.I
Makes it a lot easier to see what's
going on inside, and if it wasn't
possible to see inside, you'd break
your neck trying to look over the
fence.
Looks like it's going to be a darn
pretty building, and probably dress
State Street up a bit, and it can
stand it. Quite anxious to see it
completed, and I hear it will have
comfortable chairs .
L.C.S. W.
LOOKS LIKE things are going to
be pretty bad for the ladies this
fall, with silk stocking shortages seen,
(ah, alliteration!), and more silk
needed for defense.
Been talking the emergency over
with ye managing ed., and we did
decide that what was needed was a
campaign: Silk For Defense. Sort
of like the aluminum drive, you know,
only no need troubling the Boy
Scouts again to go out and help col-
lect silk stockings and silk - - er,
other silk articles. Kessler and I
will do that ourselves, relying on
long years of experience . . . .
We'll call it the L.C.S.W.P.--
League For the Collection of Silk-
worm Products. We've even got a
motto for it: "As the worm turns so
goes the nation, unless you count
your chickens before they cross the
road."
Tsk! Tsk!
D ON'T KNOW whether you've been
noticing the letters of one Joseph
Andriola, social work student, re--
printed in this alleged newspaper,
re: not finding his name or the
name of other social work students
in the Summer Student Directory.
The fellow was quite griped . .
but now itcomes to light that his
name is in the Directory. On page
74, in the Faculty Section (I wonder
how it could have gotten there: all
the faculty cards are sent directly to
the shop from the Summer Session
offices, and are not even given a
chance to mix with students) you'll
find the name of one Joseph Phillip
Andriola, Grad. 321 E. Liberty, Ann
Arbor.
