Canada and Britain do not require the oath of Americans. Japan and her Axis pals do. Note-The new law also provides that American parents of children born abroad must have resided in the U.

Low interest rates have cut the revenue of many endowed charities in half or worse. Public doles can never cover the area of need. Finally, no warmhearted American can ever feel quite satisfied with charity enforced, or to leave his humanitarian impulses to acts of congress. If there had been far more voluntary sharing through past years, there would be less regimented sharing today-with all the political evils that entails. The demands upon us all are great and the woes of the world will greatly increase them.

It was said in defense of the President's method of obtaining them, that if he had consulted congress, the deal would not have been permitted. Present evidences of popular approval of this result, as far as the bases are concerned, make this conclusion highly doubtful. Be that as it may, there is no doubt on earth that congress would ratify the result today with scarcely a dissenting vote. It should do so. It is of extreme importance.

None of us separately can judge relative needs. Few of us have the time or training to manage and regulate our giving. For these reasons, indiscriminate giving is always wasteful and sometimes far from fair. The Community Chest method cures all these faults and shortcomings in the best way. The tremendous sums of public money being expended for relief and charity greatly restrict the flow of gifts, for two reasons. The tax burdens necessary to support them reduce the incomes of potential givers. The billions spent by government make some people believe that there is no longer necessity for private giving. as Mr. or side, and Hull and Welles on the It took place at the White other.
