PAGE TWO The Week In Washington A Returns of Governmental Happenings in She National Capital Washington, D. C.. Nov. 3.?From what little information is released about it. the three-power conference in Russia seems to be doing a great deal toward cementing relations between Russia. Great Britain, and fhc United States. But there is little doubt that the Russians feel that the" have played the lead role in the war so far and will want the head place at the peace table unless we do considerably more than we have done so far. While the talks in Russia were proceeding. government officials he-re realized that Russians were following news from this country with greater interest than usual? and there was therefore considerable embarrassment here over the Senate's delay in agreeing to commit this nation to "join with free and sovereign rations in the establishment and in the maintenance of international authority, with power to prevent aggression." It was realized by all at the Russian conference that the statements of our conferees on postwar arrangements were rather meaningless until the senate had clearly stated how far Ihis country would go in sharing international responsibilities. It was also embarrassing to Washington officials and our conferees in Russia, when discussions of new fronts and increased supplies were being carried on, for the news in our country to be centered on newstrikes and threats of strikes in essential industries. Although the 350,000 railroad employees who are sc-eking higher wages are doing so in orderly fashion, the possibility of a paralysis of wartime transportation unless these deTREAT YOUR FAMILY to plenty of our wholesome Grade "A" PURE RAW MILK The Nation's Number 1 HEALTH FOOD j New River Dairy eg I Tl I Cash a | Bonds I Iniei Loans I 10 Ban I and] 1 nil m uiuci I Other I Tola | TO' flf ; ; '^5 I I Si E L. ?.

Even a short tie-up of the j 1 railroads could interrupt the steady j | flow of vital supplies to our soldiers j j at the front, it could stop production j I in thousands of war plants and it: ! nrntl/l cAfim.clt. ...S + V. *K~i lood supply of both soldiers and ci- j vilians in our own country. Almost .equally dangerous would be any further major interruption in the production of coal, which has been threatened ever since the government turned the mines back to private operators. Even without coal strikes there will be real shortage of coal this winter, but any further major stoppage in production would be a catastrophe. Thousands of tons of coal were lost to war production factories by the strikes in Alabama. Viewing this and other coal strikes as even more dangerous than the strikes last spring, Charles E. Wilson acting chairman of the War Production Board said: "Surely no American wants to see our steel plants close down for lack of coal, or wants to see our shipyards idle or wants to see munitions held up that are needed for the fighting men overseas. But that may well happen if the coal situation is not solved and solved promptly. It is a key problem that concerns every American right now." It is expected that both the coal situation and the railroad difficulties can only be settled by the government giving in and granting new wage increases.

The present anti-strike la' can be invoked only when the got eminent takes over the mines an operates them as government prof erty. But to do any permanent goo under this law, it would mean th; the government would have to tak over the mines for the duration. In stating that this is a problei which concerns every American ; this time, Mr. Wilson probably hope that the people will get stirred u enough over the situation to d< mond stronger legislation from the congressmen.

FOOD FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM IE you hear a loud "bang" some | time during the first part of November it will be the opening gun in the "Food Fights for Freedom" campaign. Newspapers, magazines, radio. motion pictures, and advertisers will cooperate with agricultural reppresentalives of all agencies to carry the message to every home in the United States. Food is as much a weapon of war g. as guns and tanks, as ships and planes. Everyone who produces ex- ont trn food and cooperates in food ratinning is a true soldier because food really fights. jurit The State College Extension Service is preparinc a SDecial bulletin. 1 ?

The publication outlines, lews hi j how food fights, what the food needs 1 ' are, and how North Carolina can ! J? best serve in the campaign. j on ? Thousands of leaders in every j walk of life will be needed to put the j ? food program over and North Caro- j i linians are asked to rally to the . cause. The need is so great and thej ' - demand for extra food is expanding I ? so rapidly that no matter how much! a food is produced there still will not! A be enougli to meet the demand.
