BUSINESS AFFAIRS (New York Times) At a time when acute food shortages prevail in Europe and scarcities at home are becoming more { important, it is reported that in Oklahoma wheat is ! being dumped in the fields b se there are not umugh freight cars available to ship it to terminal markets. Thus, while an appeal is made for people to hvlp with the harvesting, we learn that some of the | products harvested may not be transported to the market. Here is another illustration of the need for better eoordination in our food program. This situation has not developed suddeniy men, farmers and State officials have been warning Federal agencies for several months that transporta- tion facilities would be inadequate. Why has it not been possible to have a sufficient number of freight | cars to meet these needs when they were known so ilong in advance? Certainly, freight cars are being used to transport many items less essential than wheat. Moreover, it seems strange that enough freight ars have not been available, particularly inasmuch | | as the needs of a one-front war would appear to be | smaller than those of a two-front war. Who is to | blame for the reduction in food supplies which may | take place because of the failure to act earlier? To what extent will available supplies of wheat fail to reach the market? How soon can we expect a cor- ! rection of any mistakes that have developed? With large-scale harvesting soon to start in Kansas, the to these questions are of urgent national | Ul | answer interest. | It is easy to identify a publicity hound.

Tons and tons of paper are scat- tered in every direction. Search- ing through them is like hunting a needle in a haysiack, EXIT MISS PERKINS Next to Secretary of the Interior Ickes, the Roosevelt Cabinet mem- ber who has held office longest stepped out of the Cabinet last week-end. Several days before she stepped out, Miss Perkins called up her friend Attorney General Biddle, who left the Cabinet simul- taneously. “How do you feel?” “Fine,” replied Biddle. “Well,” said the lady been Secretary of Labor leng and tumultous years, go out and celebrate.” This column has sometimes been critical of Miss Perkins during her long tenure of office. But as we look back over the years, some- thing should be said to balance the criticism. In the first place, no pericd in the entire history of the nation has been more difficult from the point of view of labor. Labor was in the throes of growing pains. It was an era which Per- kins inherited, not one which she personally brought about And while there may be cause to debate the wisdom of appoint- ing a ‘woman to such a difficuit post during such a difficult era, yet when we look back on Miss Perkins' sterile and hidebound pre- decessors, the William Nuckless Doaks and the Puddler Jim Davises of yesteryear, it must be admitted that the lady shone in comparison NOTE—Like some other members of the Cabinet, Miss Perkins re tires almost penniless. he has ex- hausted her private savings and as Jim Farley so often said, it is most impossible to live on a Cab- fnet salary. Four years ago, Miss Perkins had a chance to become President of a New England lege for women, but FDR her to remain on she asked who has for “let’s al- col- asked SICK MAN OF EUROPE There have been two important back-stage developments in the dynamite-laden row between Tur- key arjd Russia—a row which may test out the United Nations ability to prevent war almost before Lhe and integrity.” ! | | 12! | which | Balkan states.
