Six of the countrys leading social and welfare agencies will utilize their combined resources to combat undesirable in- fluences arising in army camps over the country. President Roosevelt has urged all Americans to support the movement which is known as U S O., United Service Organization for National Defense. A fund of $10,765,000 must be raised to carry out its program and the campaign Is already under way. Agencies participating in the work are the Young Mens Christian association, National Catholic Community service, Salvation Army, Young Women's Christian association, Jewish Welfare agency, and the National Their Travelers Aid association. aggregate experience in this kind of service is 317 years. The YMCA has been active in army and navy social and welfare work since 1861. Others since 1917. The program is being carried out from closely plans, approved by the government, which will prevent the overlapping of social club houses, supplies, entertainment, etcn common in the past when was lacking among the various agencies undertaking this work. Few new positions will be created as the agencies will draw heavily on their own carefully ... ... I see news here and there and it too, that Washington, D.

For instance, the 'yittintic' Oc&m Spanish soil now bears Nazi guns, and as the map above shows, the territory of Spain and Spanish Morocco form the jaws of a vise that can trap the British Mediterranean fleet or force them to flee towards the Suez, where a threatened drive by the Germans may bottle them up. The big Nazi planted guns awaited only the word of Hitler to loose a storm of steel into the rock fortress of Gibraltar. Concealed miles back and protected by the hard rock of the Benda range, other powerful Axis artillery would join the coastal guns in any action. Gibraltars guns are not heavy enough to hill batteries, even if they could be located. Without silence the long-rana land base from which their observation and bombed planes could operate, the chances of the English fleet remaining in the Mediterranean sea hourly grows less. ge Stamp Program Takes Up Slack In Loss of Foreign Food Markets & As the food stamp moves into the third year, farmers, housewives, public offand icials, welfare administrators chamber of commerce organizations carefully moisten and affix their own stamp of approval to the project This new method of administering a subsidy, so that the distribution system would serve broad social purposes and in general maintain princithe essential ple, was the brainchild of Milo Perkins, former manufacturer and now head of the Surplus Marketing administration in Washington.

Thomas E. Dewey trained personnel to insure the best in service. ' It was decided to weld the agencies into one huge unit, by the President, cabinet members, state governors and other officials because of requests from thousands of parents and because it was believed too big a project to be handled by any one agency. Woman Defense Workers. More than 350 clubhouses will be completed and staffed just outside army and navy bases. Military Influence wanes when soldiers are beyond military boundaries and one object of the program is to give the soldier and sailor respite from military discipline. And the opportunity to enjoy social activities in preparation for the stern duties that may lie ahead. Another feature of the U.S.O. will be the home hospitality, locally, where friendly family reception will be fostered. It will also cope with the living and welfare problems of women in defense industry. Business and government leaders are backing the program with enthusiasm and help. James A. Farley, former postmaster general, said: "Its our chance to show we are solidly behind our first line of defense. We cant afford to fail.

Lose Foreign Markets, When foreign markets for surplus products, principally food, faded away in 1930, and the country was faced with one of its most vexing problems, P. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) A G4SLESS proflt-and-lo- FuCer pat:t er WEA Gibraltar economy of abundance," the nations leaders cast about for a solution. People abtually faced starvation while living in the midst of plenty. Jobs and savings were gone and while foodstuffs rotted in the fields for want of market, crops were plowed under, acreage restricted and marginal land retired from cultivation, in a desperate attempt to set the wheels of industry rolling again. Scientific agriculture added to the countrys woes by increasing the quantity of farm products with less labor, thereby further building up the unemployment roster. Foreign trade agreements failed to save the country's $800,000,000 volume to them, because the purchas- ing nations were more interested then in making themselves and were eliminating all , possible imports. Search for Solution. Vice President Wallace, then secretary of agriculture, sums up the situation as it 'appeared then to authorities in the capitol: "First, we had to find a market for farm surpluses, and we knew that a surplus at one price might be a sell-oat another. Second, we didnt like the spectacle of people hungry from too little food while we were worrying over too much. Senator Vandenberg proposed to solve the first problem by sending our surpluses abroad and selling them at a lower price there, but some of us thought that if we were going in for e a system we'd better do it at home and let our own needy have the benefit Studies by nutritional experts revealed some startling facts. Working people were paying only between 1 and 12 cents per meal average while those millions on relief could only allot half of that amount for their food. The result of this was to continue to pile up foodstuffs in bins all over the country. Despite its shrinkage the major nt two-pric- hope was still that of the domestic market because our own people would continue to buy food regardless of the disappearance of the foreign markets due to the war. After other methods had been found un- satisfactory or inadequate, such as soup kitchens for the needy and to utilize surplus wheat, lunches for school children, direct distribution of hams and other meat to households and other schemes, the food stamp plan was created. It was first tried out in Rochester, N. Y., and is now well known and popular in the countrys largest metropolis. New York city. Approximately 350 areas are now benefiting by the plan while about 1,500 more have applied to Washington. Direct savmgs of $200,000 is shown by the statement of Commissioner William Hodson of the New York city department of welfare and the food stamp plan this year will cost only $77,000 as compared with the $277,000 cost direct distribution of goverpment-purchasesupplies pre- . .
