want us to do that.”
Josephine Schain, only official U. S.
woman delegate to the food conference,
was Mrs. Roosevelt's guest when she met
the press yesterday. What inspressed her
most at Hot Springs, she said, was the way
all the countrics worked together, without
bickering or bitterness.
Some down-to-earth reporters asked Mrs,
Roosevelt about Americans, on Capitol Nill
and elsewhere, who grow suspicions about
our “feeding the workl” and even about
rationing here. °
“There'll always be le wha don't sce
beyond their noses.” Mrs. Roosevelt said,
“Wo have to educate them and show them
why.”
A Correction
PM regrets that, in listing persons
praised as “sterling Americans” in the
pro-Nazi publication, The O. s, it in-
dicated that Gen. George Van Horm
Moscley was among the 33 indicted for
seditious conspiracy. He was not indicted.
