Washington, D. C. BRITISH-INDIA PROBLEM It will probably be denied, but the inside fact is that U. S. Ambassador Bill Phillips came back from India with a blunt, in spots bitter, report against the British. He felt that the United States should do something about the fes tering Indian political situation, that the Indian army and people could not be a force in the war until the question was cleaned up. Also he was straight-from-the-shoulder in his criticism of Field Marshal Wavell whom he feels is not suited for the job and should be removed. Phillips not only gave this report to the President but he also had a conference with Winston Churchill. Ambassador Phillips' report is most significant, because he has been pro-British, served as minister to Canada, has been a consistent believer that our policy must go hand-in-hand with the British. Phil lips is mild, not addicted to cru sading, but a thorough, conscien tious diplomat, reporting what he V-i: a- I at M i. I UCUCVC9 IU UC IIIC IdtlS. 1 Among other things, Phillips re ported that mediation between dif ferent Indian factions and the Brit ish government was possible now; also desirable. He feels that if some such move is not undertaken now, he should not go back to India, nor should any other U. S. ambassador, since the presence of an American envoy would be taken as the stamp of U. S. approval for British policy. What the President said to Church ill on the Indian problem is his secret. But it is known that Roose velt has hoped for a year that the British would do something about India. However, he also feels very strongly that the United States should not interfere in Britain's colo nial problems. Meanwhile, the British, with an army large enough to handle any problem inside India, seem content merely to sit on the lid?despite American pleas that the Burma road must be reopened and despite the fact that Indian troops will not fight the Japs wholeheartedly unless they have a small investment in the Four Freedoms for which they are sup posed to fight. ? ? ? WOMAN WATCHES ARMY COOKS Miss Mary I. Barber, Washing ton's first dollar-a-year woman, has now begun to bring long-needed thrift to army mess kitchens. If Miss Barber has her way, the army's 250,000 cooks will be per suaded to make soup out of the left overs and cut down the quota for the garbage pails. In fact, her save-left-overs idea has already gone so far that certain pig farmers near army camps are complaining that they don't get enough garbage these days. Miss Barber was borrowed by the quartermaster corps from the Kel logg company at Battle Creek to teach tough mess sergeants, among other things, that a camp menu does not have to be arranged one week in advance, and stuck to religiously. If, for instance, a camp mess has several hundred chickens left over from Sunday dinner, they can be used on Monday, not thrown into the garbage pail. Unfortunately, a lot of mess ser geants had been doing that, partly because the menu for Monday was already arranged. Also it is against the law for the army to sell food, nor can it be given away. It must be thrown away. This has been done in the past via garbage trucks to the highest bidding hog dealers. Now, however, Miss Barber is helping to arrange master mentis, which though they specify soup, do not name the variety. This gives UIC tw* au U^UUU IU IU?AC ?uup UUl of whatever his left-overs permit. This all sounds simple to the aver age housewife, but believe it or not, it has not always been done by the army. Another trick is to save all drip ping fata from bacon or sausage, and use them in a cream sauce for cauliflower, or other vegetables. ? ? ? WHITE HOUSE BLACK MARKET The White House is having its troubles with the Black Market The White House architect called up the Georgetown Electric company re cently to buy No. 12 copper wire for rewiring a part of the Executive Mansion. But there eras no copper wire to be had. "Where can we get itf" the archi tect asked. "Baltimore, on the Black Market ?only it will cost you 20 cents a foot instead of seven cents." "Well, we can't have anything to do with the Black Market," was the White House reply, and the archi tect went shopping elsewhere." ? ? ?

Unl ' I *HE American league seems to * be in the midst of one of the greatest flag races in its history. At the time this is being written, only six games separate the league lead ers from the tail end club. President Ed Barrow and Man ager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees recognize that the war has done an excellent Job of leveling off talent and that they are going to flght a harder battle than any Yankee outfit has had since the time of Miller Hoggins when they nosed out the Browns by one length in 19S2. The 1943 pennant race may be even more exciting to watch than in 1940, when the Tigers beat the In dians by a game and the Yankees were right on top of Cleveland. Ed Barrow is often the forgotten man in speaking of the* highly suc cessful Yankees. To McCarthy and the big names on the team roster goes much of the credit. And nat ED BARROW urally so. But President Barrow de serves whatever plaudits may be awarded him. No. 1 Yankee Barrow has been with the Yan kees since 1921, the year ot their first flag. And by this time he is more of a Yankee than any other man. He has been president of the elnb since January, 1939, following the reorganization after the death of Col. Jacob Ruppert. Barrow is a big man physically. He has a tremendous capacity for enjoying life. Prior to his joining the Yankees, he had a varied and interesting career. He was presi dent of two minor leagues and man ager of seven teams, including Wheeling, Patterson, Indianapolis, Toronto, Montreal, the Detroit Ti gers and the Boston Red Sox. ' His first year in organized base ball bronght him nnusnal success. He was managing Wheeling in 1895. The team finished first in the split season of the Iron and Oil league, then shifted its franchise to the In terstate league and wound up in the top spot of that circuit. Incidental ly, Zane Grey, later to become fa mous as a novelist, was one of Barrow's outfielders that year. He was still in his teens when he organized and ran his first team, a semi-pro outfit in Des Moines. He first pitched, then moved to the out field. The Big Scramble The Yankees haven't won the pen nant yet?and they know it as well as the seven other teams of the cir cuit. But they know, too, that they are going to make it as tough for competition as they possibly can. McCarthy is quite happy over the mound situation, .and tie is extreme ly proud of one Ernie Bonham, whom McCarthy has named as a 25 game winner this season. Bonham almost reached that figure last year with a record of 21 victories and 5 defeats. McCarthy isn't the only one who Is sold on Ernie. Almost any hitter In- the league will name Mm or Tex Hughsea of the Bed Sox as the best pitcher in the league. Both have their supporters and there's little to choose from either way. In speaking of Bonham during spring camp, McCarthy said: "Look at his record for last sea son. He wound up with 21 victories and 5 defeats. Two of the defeats he suffered were by 1 to 0 scores, and both were in late innings. Then take a look at his earned run av erage, 2.27. That shows we didn't have to get many runs for him to win. Well, this year we'll have to get even less runs for him. Many of the good hitters have gone into serv ice. The percentage favors him."

FOCR 'PARTNERS' OF PRODUCTION PRODUCTION, including raw ma terials, transportation, processing and marketing, is the result of co operation of four partners, each es sential and each receiving as a divi dend a portion of the revenue of production. One of these partners is capital, and its part is to provide the ground, buildings and tools needed to make production on the American scale possible. As its dividend, capital receives 4 per cent of the revenue derived from production. A second partner is labor. Labor uses the tools capital has provided and without which we would revert to the conditions of the days when each individual or each family had to produce the essentials of exist ence. As a general average, labor receives as its dividend 65 per cent of the revenue derived from produc tion. Another partner is management? the boss on the job, and that part of the ~ combination which plans it all, which brings capital and labor together. Management is the chem ist of production, whether it be of the farm, the mine, the forest or factory. One-half of 1 per cent of the revenue of production goes to management as its -dividend. The fourth partner in production is government. " Its function is that of providing for orderly operation and protecting the rights of the oth er three partners. It is the umpire, presumably fair and unprejudiced. The portion of the revenues of pro duction demanded by government? local, state and federal?is 30 per cent. Today 99% per cent of the total revenues of production is being di vided between the four partners. There is left but one-half of 1 per cent to provide for emergencies or for growth and expansion. That is not enough to cover the cost of con version from wartime to peace time production. When the happy and hoped-for day arrives that ships, planes, tanks and guns are no long er needed, and when people again want automobiles, refrigerators, washing machines, farm imple ments and all the countless things to which we have been accustomed and which production provided, the money for the tools necessary to meet these new conditions must be provided by either one or both of two partners?capital or govern ment. If government provides the new tools, it will take over the in terest of capital in American pro duction and the American system of free enterprise will be gone. ? ? ? RAILROAD POLICY MANY YEARS AGO THE POL ICY of the American railroads was "all the tariff the traffic will bear." The railroads paid for that with reg ulatory legislation. In recent years their policy has been "all the serv ice it is possible to render." I saw in a lounge car recently a sign that would indicate one railroad has for _?44 iU. 1 _ .1 iL - a. mi 4 gufckcu uie icaauiiB ui uie pasi. mat sign notified passengers that seats in the lounge car were now purchas able and if sold, other passengers could not occupy them. The sign said the ruling was due to the war emergency. To me it looks as though the railroad management saw an opportunity to collect some extra dollars. The railroads cannot again afford a policy of that kind. Better to take the lounge cars off until the war is over. That might be meeting an emergency. ? ? ? GOVERNMENT AND SMALL BUSINESS WE EXERCISE our keenest di plomacy and employ large numbers of commercial representatives abroad tbat we may retain our ex port business, which amounts to ap proximately 10 per cent of our pro duction. What the government con siders small businesses?those em ploying less than 100 people?repre sent 45 per cent of the jobs of the nation and they do 34 per cent of our total volume of business. There is no evidence that the govern ment is making any special effort to maintain those business organiza tions which are so much a part of our American life. ? ? ? AGRICULTURAL POLICY WHEN THOMAS JEFFERSON and Alexander Hamilton were com peting for supremacy of their ideas of government, Jefferson said: "Were we directed from Wash ington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want bread." Wonder what his comment would be on the agricultural policies of the government of today? ? ? ? LOYAL RURAL PRESS THE RURAL PRESS has been more than generous with its co operation in every war effort, and will continue to co-operate. All rural editors are patriotic, but they can not be bought, and they would turn on anyone, or any organization, at tempting to {urchase their influence with people of their communities. ? ? ?
