Charges Americans
Are Establishing
Paris Contacts
LONDON (UP) — The Lon-
don Daily Mail charges that Al-
lied supreme headquarters is al-
lowing American businessmen to
go to Paris and establish valu-
able contacts—although British
merchants are not granted the
same privilege.
The paper charges that many
of these Americans are flown to
France—wearing American mili-
tary uniforms. It tells of one
representative of a financial
corporation who landed in Fran-
ce in the uniform of a Red Cross
officer. Within IX hours after
the Allied entry into Paris — he
had changed into civilian cloth-
es and was busy with his clients.
This charge has brought a
quick denial from Harvey Gib-
son, the director of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in the European
Theatre. Gibson told the United
Press that there is no foundation
of fact whatever is the charge.
Gibson says he's the only Red
Cross official he knows of who
could be described as a represen-
tative of a big financial corpora-
tion. And he adds, he's been to
Paris four or five times, but nev-
er in uniform, and his business
has always been with the Red
Cross.
The London Daily Mail arti-
cle is signed by Colin Bednall,
and carries an editor's note that
the newspaper knows it will be
I assailed both in Britain and Arn-
! erica for printing it. But the
Mail adds: "We feel that only
f<ood can he done by bringing in-
to the open a subject which al-
ready has caused serious damage
to Anglo-American relations."
Bednall claims that, he learn
ed. from one source that the Brit-
ish chamber of commerce was
one of the first British organiza-
tions to ask permission to re-
turn to their Paris office. Per-
mission, says Bednall, was de-
nied by Supreme Haedquarters.
Bedn'ai. adds that the Supre-
me Headquarters organization is
such thai the question of per-
mits to enter France rests al-
most entirely on the decision and
good will of American officers.
In the same article, Bednall
charges that America's diver-
sion of resources and manpower
to war purposes is far less than
Britain's in proportion
resources.
writes: "Almost every
week the world is told in the
form of official United States
propaganda of some new Ameri-
can product which is being pre-
pared now for commercial pro-
fit after the war."

IT'S THE TELEPHONE RUSH. Every night
thousands of service men and women dash to
the nearest telephones to talk with families and
friends at home. Most of the Long Distance calls
from camps and naval stations are crowded into
a few short hours.

crowded
time, and it helps a lot when you keep the lines
clear from 7 to 10 for the service men and women.
That's about the best time for most of them to call.
