Letters to the Editor
Editor:
We wonder about this war for the preservation of democracy in practice, when one of our star trackmen is not sure he can run in the Big Six meet Saturday simply because he is a Negro. What is there about his being black which would make his running of less value than if he were white?
While we freely condemn Hitler's anti-Semitism, we ignore our own discriminatory practices. Let us start winning the war on our own campus by acting on our democratic ideals, and giving the same basis for these ideals to the Negro.
Sincerely yours,
Helen Martin

U S Expects To Send Russia More Food
Washington, (INS) — Lend-lease administrator Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., yesterday told congress that the food situation in Russia is growing "increasingly critical" and the United States expects to send more food to the Soviet this year than to Great Britain.
Urging continuance of the lend-lease program, in testimony before the senate foreign relations committee, Mr. Stettinius
emphasized that American alie has played an important role in the Russian victories against the Nazi armies.
"The assurance that the flow of these munitions and other vital supplies would continue at an accelerated rate has also been of importance." he added.
"The Soviet Union has been able to expend its equipment with the knowledge that replacements and help were coming and would continue to come."
Have Not Sent Enough
Russia, he said, will realize little immediate benefit from recapture of food-producing areas from the Nazi invasion.
While he reported that the U S has shipped lend-lease goods valued at $1,300,000,000 to Russia, he conceded that "We have not yet sent enough supplies to the Soviet people." Partially breaking down the list of goods, he said that in addition to planes, tanks, and trucks, the U S sent Russia more than 130,000 submachine guns; more than 88,000,000 pounds of TNT and tuluo; and more than 174,000,000 pounds of copper and brass, as well as other munitions, raw materials, and food.
Stettinius said that lend-lease is now an offensive instrument for the United States.
"The food situation in the Soviet Union is now critical," he said. "It will grow increasingly critical for some time to come. We expect to send more food to the Soviet Union this year than to Great Britain."
Promises Aid to China
He promised that every effort will be made to increase lend-lease supplies to China. The United States, he said, is supplying 10 per cent of British food imports.
The United States, he said, has received valuable lend-lease aid from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and other United Nations countries.
"The people of Great Britain are on a diet which is less adequate and varied than the diet which is anticipated for the people of this country under our rationing program," he said.
"Any falling off in food shipments to the United Kingdom would seriously imperil the United Nation's war effort."

US Soldiers Study While In England
American soldiers in Britain who have attended college in this country will find that the British have made provisions for their entertainment, both socially and intellectually, according to a recent British press announcement.
The American University Union has been established as a meeting place for both officers and enlisted men of university connections, and for their friends. It provides reading and writing room, a complete file of current catalogs from American and British universities, a lending library, and detailed information on educational opportunities in Great Britain and Ireland.
Special courses are being conducted at Oxford, Cambridge, and London Universities for American troops on leave. Faculty members of each university lecture on philosophy, psychology, religion, and the social sciences in general.
"Life" magazine recently featured pictorial reports of soldiers on leave at Oxford who were attending lectures.

Following the election, Harlan Shuyler, College sophomore, talked on "Anopheles Minimus on the Burma Road."
Americans who desire to read in the British museum, the public record office, or in other archives of the British Isles, may obtain readers' tickets from the American University Union which will enable them to gain admittance to the archives the day they apply for the privilege.
Phyllis Struble, College senior, was elected president of the University's Eutonomy club at the regular meeting of the organization at 4:30 Monday afternoon in Snow hall. Miss Struble succeeds Fred Truxal, College senior, who has been called to the armed forces.
Red Cross Sets Student Quota
The University quota for the Red Cross membership and war fund drive which started yesterday, is to average 50 cents for each student. Plans have been made for contacting the sailors although no quota for them has been set, Ruth Kelley, chairman of the collection group, reported today.
Dr. F. C. Allen, in charge of the University collection, decided that his community recreation class would be the most logical unit for student collection since one phase of such an undertaking is working with, and helping, the physically handicapped. Dr. Allen is reported to be very optimistic about the outcome of the campaign.
All of the organized houses will be contacted by mail and a representative will call to collect the money by Thursday, according to Miss Kelley, College senior. The community recreation class will meet tomorrow and then on Friday to check results.

Senate Will Vote On Labor Bill Soon
Topeka, (INS)—The new bill putting Kansas labor unions under strict state control was ready to go to the senate calendar this afternoon.
Senate leaders said they hoped to bring the controversial bill to final consideration in the upper house this week. If favorably acted upon by the senate, it will go to the house where a favorable vote is almost assured.
Today the house placed on its calendar the measure prepared by the state affairs committee to move up the Kansas primary date to the last Tuesday in April and provide for voters to express state presidential preference. Primaries are now held on the first Tuesday in August.
Kansas lawyers today were a step nearer enacting a law placing control of members of the bar under the state bar association. The house judiciary committee today recommended for passage the integrated bar bill already passed by the senate.
Also, the house judiciary committee reported and placed on the calendar without recommendation a proposal to amend the constitution to elect governors and lieutenant-governors for four years instead of two.

"Address the letters to the Axis radio at Tunis. You need not mail them . . . just pin them up in some conspicuous place when you retreat."
According to the latest reports from the Tunisian battle front disclosing the retreat of Axis forces, the American boys may soon be in Tunis where they can tell the enemy first hand what they think.
