Washington Becomes Capital Of Nations Opposing Axis Presence of Leaders and Establishment Of War Organizations Attest to Supremacy By BLAIR BOLLES. ‘The United Nations have decided %o bolster the opponents of Japan in the Far East in & manner that will make a change in the A. B. C. D. tactics there manifestly possible, it was learned yesterday. Reach- ing this decision has provided the Allies with one of their most trying problems. Previous announcements by offi- elals in London and in Washington have made clear a strong desire to concentrate on the Axis in Europe and Africa. Strong arguments were advanced, however, to impress the fight-in-the-West proponents that & naval power like Japan must be halted and pushed back if it is to be kept from rendering positive assist- ance to the European Axis nations by naval sction in the Indian Ocean. The Netherlands Indies, Australia and China brought to Wi their urgent petitioning for a re- orientation of Allied thinking with regard to the Far East. was disposed to pull the other way. The final form of the decision makes piain what has been growing here more obvious daily, that Washing- ton, in the short time since the United States went to war, has be- ecome the capital of the anti-Axis ‘world. Decisions Reached Here. In Washington the decisions in grand strategy are recorded for the conduct of the war. Here, too, the future is planned for the world that 1s to come into being when the war s done. A member of the British Commonwealth like Australia looks - Washington rather than to| other England for support for its’ nt of view—an Eastern point of view—and for assistance in de- veloping its military plan. Washington has become, in a sense, the capital of the Axis world, too, because the people who are op- ' pressed by foreign invaders and hy,‘ domestic fascist governments look | to Washington for deliverance. | The paramount position of ‘Wash- | fngton as the great force in the‘v world is brought again and again | to the inescapable attention of the‘ newspapermen whose day-to-day as- signment is reporting the news he obtains from the men and women ‘who come here from abroad, as dip- l\omnu‘ refugees or simple visitors. These people regard ‘Washington | as the center of the universe, and they have great trust that Wash- ington will see to it for them that | their hopes for their belelguered‘ homelands will be expressed in ac- complishment. Only Russia remains | bevond the reach of ‘Washington, | and Russia is considerably depend- | ent on supplies from the United | Btates. [ Vast Wealth of Resources. | One reason for ‘Washington's ar- | rival at this imposing and respon- | sible place in the world is the vast wealth of our resources, natural and | {ndustrial, which have made us rich | beyond rivalry in peacetime and now | fit us to arm our friends beyond | rivalry in wartime. Another reason is the remoteness | of Washington from the pressing and distracting practical questions which beset the European or the | Asiatic who tries to contemplate the ‘1 rearrangements of governments, so- | ciety and mankind, We can take | decisions being made here. His presence integrates the London- Wi plan which, despite the England for which 8ir John speaks, has become a plan calling for vigor in the Far East. Supply Council Important. Mr. Churchill and Lord Beaver- brook, British supply minister, left behind in Washington another mon~ ument to this city’s primacy by giv- ing a new importance to the British Supply Council in North America, which arranges the assignment and shipment of the tools of war from the “arsenal of democracy” to British operation bases. ‘The Supply Council means mu¢h more today to Britain than it meant before we went to war. In time to come it is probable that the United States will provide England with more tools of war than England can provide herself. So the Supply Council in Washington is an organi- zation of <dmportance almost equal to that of a branch of government in London. Washington now is a city of many languages, spoken by many outside its diplomatic missions. It attracts refugees from foreign countries not only because this is a haven where they can live with a minimum of harassment, but because they feel they can find a response here to their ideas about how liberty may be rewon for the oppressed regions. The treatment accorded some of these refugees testifies to the flour- ishing condition of democracy, with its easy toleration, in wartime here. For instance, one of the most earnest seekers of American support for his post-war European recon- struction plans is Archduke Otto, the Hapsburg pretender, whose an- cestors sat for centuries on an all- powerful throne. He lives in Alexandria and calls frequently on the State Department. The United States Government has given him no encouragement, but he is allowed to press his cause before the public. Biddle's Alien Orders Exempt Three Groups Austrians, Austrian - Hungarians and Koreans—if officially registered as such—are exempt from the order requiring German, Itadan and Jap- anese nationals to apply for certifi- cates of identification. Announcing this yesterday, Attor- ney General Biddle said: “Austrians, Austrian-Hungarians | and Koreans who involuntarily or | mistakenly registered (under the 1940 Alien Registration Act) as Ger- mans, Italians or Japanese are re- quired to apply for certificates of identification, but they may state in their applications that they are Austrians, Austrian-Hungarians or Koreans. After they obtain their certificates of identification, they| will be given an opportunity to cor- | rect their alien registrations follow- | ing suitable investigation.” A recent order directed that alll German, Italian and Japanese na- | tionals 14 years of age or oldér must apply at post offices for certificates of identification.

U. the grand view of distant and eon- ‘Wins Acodemic AVOI‘d tinental problems without being dis- concerted by & confusion of detailed | secondary considerations. | A third reason is the influence | of Washington in Latin America. ‘When the war is done, Europe will require first of all economic resusci- tation. Elementary needs like food will be great. The new life-stirring will depend on a flow of vital, funda- | mental goods from abroad, from a | region whose own capacities for | production of goods have not been erased by bombs. That region is the New World, from Cape Horn to Hudson’s Bay. The course of events at Rio de Janeiro have proved to all that Washington does not dictate policies in the West- | ern Hemisphere. Rio, and previous events, have demonstrated, how- ever, that we are paramount in the | New World and in the best position | to lead the Americas in the organi- | zation of their economies for the | relief of Europe. | Moral Idealism. Yet a fourth reason for American supremacy is moral idealism. through hes of crusade with which the | United States invests the struggle it has joined. This elusive quality inspires and attracts the ‘other peo- | ples and raises high their faith in Washington. It was realization that Washing- ton is the world’s balance wheel that brought Winston Churchill here. The same realization spurred Huber- tus van Mook, lieutenant governor general of the Netherlands Indies, | to leave Java at this critical time and visit the city of the Potomac. It was realization that Washington | in time could be the world's%apital | that sent the King and Queen of | England here in 1939. The continued presence here of eertain great men and the establish- ment and enlargement of certain wartime organizations testify to the global supremacy of this city ss a capital. When Mr. Churchill went back to England, for instance, he left behind Field Marshal Sir John Dill as the lisison man between President Roosevelt and the Prime Minister on Downing Street. Pield Marshal Dill Norbert M. Phillips of Buffalo, N. Y., a fellow at Catholic Univer- | sity, today was announced winner of the Capt. Charles W. Brown Me-! morial Medal, given annually to the | sightless student studying on a scholarship from the American Foundation for the Blind whose academic record has been the highest. The foundation, which announced the ward in New York, said Mr.| Phillips had not let his blindness handicap him. During his summer | | vacation, it was said, he worked in | a grocery store, clerking, marketing | and arranging window displays. ! The medal is in memory of Capt. Brown, who was & former trustee of the foundation. Doeaded dayj/ Take off that Y MPM: E modern; use Midol.

The pound price of sausage may seem high off- hand, but when you consider that you get a pound of 100% edible meat for every pound you buy, it is truly economical.
