The so-called "revelations" from Berlin, which allegedly disclose pro Allied activity on the part of Am bassador Kennedy, at London, and Ambassador Bullitt, at Paris, produc ed no excitement on this side of the Atlantic. There was some specula tion as to the motives behind the release of the documents, alleged to have been taken from Polish archives in Warsaw. The sentiments, attribu ted to the Ambassadors, were not, in the main, surprising. j The suspicion that Berlin set the "revelations" adrift as propaganda in the hope of influencing public opin ion in this country is strong. Appar ently, Berlin wished to feed some fuel to the flame of suspicion that burns around the idea that the Presi dent is trying to put the United States into the war on the side of Great Britain and France. Back of this, it seems, is the idea that if the American people can be persuaded to believe that everything this nation does is a step toward war, there will be an active opposition to any steps, even those "short of war" which tend to strengthen the forces arrayed against Germany. The establishment of the puppet Wang Government in Nanking sup ported by the Japanese Army may create serious questions for the Unit ed States. Heretofore, interference with American trade and other rights in the occupied areas have been ex plained by the Japanese on the grounds of military necessity. Tokyo, constantly reiterated that the incon veniences were temporary. Now, with a puppet-Chinese Government estab lished, there is the strong probabil ity that the same interference will continue but that it will be nominal ly the activity of the Wang Govern ment instead of the Japanese. Consequently, any American pro test to Tokyo will be met with bland assurance that the Japanese had noth ing whateevr tx> do with the matter : and Washington will be referred to (the Wang regime. Because this [country has not recognized and will not recognize that regime, there will be difficulty in negotiations. Even if an approach is made to the Wang Government, its answers to American protests will be based upon the ad vice of Tokyo, which will hide be hind the buffer state created. Thus we will have the situation of the United States, which has re fused to recognize Japanese terri torial gains in Manchukuo and North China, trying to protect its rights in an area dominated by Japan but running into a blank wall as Tokyo blandly refers protests to Nanking. In other words, the Japanese prin cipal will refuse to negotiate, ifefer Washington to its bayonet-supported agent and with both parties being fully conscious of the fact that the Nanking regime is unable to act in dependently or make any settlement of the issues involved. Apparently, this will place the United States in a delemma, involv ing the loss of its rights, unless it calls the bluff of Tokyo. This call cannot be based upon mere words but must be accomplished by a threat of force involving at least an eco nomic embargo if not tha use of the armed forces of this country. i , t . i THE ANSWERS 1.

'I STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: What is the best distance between hills and rows in setting tobacco plants? ANSWER: A distance of 24 in ches between hills with the rows four feet wide has proven to be most satisfactory under average condi tions. On the more fertile soil, even closer spacing on the row will be profitable. The plants should be of uniform size and free from disease. The first cultivation should be made about a week or ten days after trans planting followed by cultivations every week or ten days until just before topping. QUESTION: How can I preserve my surplus eggs for consumption next winter? | ANSWER: For general farm use, water-glass method is the most popu lar and cheapest method. This is prepared by using one quart of sodium silicate (water-glass) to nine quarts of water that has been j boiled and allowed to cool. This mixture is then placed in a five gal | Ion crock or jar and the eggs put in | the jar with the large ends up. This container will hold about 12 dozen eggs. If sufficient eggs are not avainable when the solution is first made, additional eggs may be added from time to time. Use only fresh, clean, infertile eggs and be sure that the solution is two inches above the eggs at all times. QUESTION: How can wilt be controlled on sweet potatoes? ANSWER: If the potatoes are to be planted on land that is known to harbor the Wilt or Stem Rot fungus, the root ends of the slips should be immersed in a Bordeaux Mixture solution made with one pound of Copper Sulphate (blue stone) and one pound of lime to two and one half gallons of water. A wooden tub or stone crock should be used. The plants should be drained and transplanted before the chemical dries on the roots. If the soil is dry, the plants should be watered at planting, REPLACEMENT Lespedeza is replacing soybeans as the favorite hay crop in Greene Coun ty, says J. W.
