This is the really dangerous money, out of circulation if prices are to be kept stable. The success of the Seventh War Loan drive can best be gauged by its success in meeting the E hond quota. It was a recognition of this fact, no doubt, which led the Treasury'to undertake an advance drive for subscriptions to E bonds through payroll savings.

WORLD SECURITY The San Francisco debates over Poland, Argentina and the frame- work for preventing future war & all-important. But while these s are progressing, bickering continues backstage over the very tangoble problem effecting diapers, shirts and cotton dresses. In the end, these . may tinge international friendships almost as much as de- bates over Poland At present a controversy is raging over cotton shipments to France. The row is with French textile manufacturers who won't produce cotton duck for U.'S. Army tents and other militarv purposes, even though we send them the raw cotton via Lend-Lease. We are try- ing to producé more military duck in France in order to use textile mills in this country for women’s dresses, diapers, children’s clothes and overalls. And under the Lend-Lease agree- | ment, France is supposed to use all the raw cotton we send her ex- | clusively for military purposes. However, Col. Robert Stevens of the U. S. Quartermaster Corps, former president of the large New York textile firm of J. P. Stevens, has just come back from France with a report that not one yard of badly needed duck has been woven by French manufacturers. As a re- sult, the Army wants to cut off further Lend-Lease cotton ship- ments to France French textile mill operators claim they have five years of lost production to make up, and are determined to concentrate on turn- ing out fine goods for civilian use. They claim also they are weaving quantities of other textiles for military use, but these quantities are small The Allied Armies are actually getting more military cloth from the much smaller Belgian and Dutch textile plants, than from France. In Washington, it is re- ported by British sources that the British-owned. Note-Civilian Requirements Chief N. Y. Elliott, opposes any shut-otf of cotton to France because he feels that if the French mills are idle we will have to ship already manufactured cloth, of which there is already a major shortage for our own civilian use. “DIMINUTIVE BOMBINGS” HOLLYWOOD MINIATURES — Michael Luddy, Los Angeles lawyer representing the IATSE (Interna- tio! Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) in a hearing on | the Hollywood studio strike, was telling the National Labor Rela- tions Board about the work done in Hollywood, by miniature artists. He explained the miniatures are used for sea battles, mountain scenes and many other thrilling sets flashed on the screen. “For instance, in ‘Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, they used a minia- ture City of Tokyo,” Luddy ex- | plained. “This was prepared by highly skilled craftsmen, and every ,umu a bomb dropped they repro- {duced its’s effect in miniature. didn't really see Tokyo actually being bombed.” | Dignified NLRB Chairman Harry Millis interrupted. “If that’s the case,” he boomed, “I want my money back.” After the laughter subsided, Luddy retorted, “Hollywood wijl be in a bad way, Doctor, if many people get the same idea.” WATCHING WASHINGTON FROM WEST The direct telephone wire from the, State Department’s Washington Office to its temporary San Fran- cisco switchboard opens at 9 a. m., Washington time.
