'jM^^BlB'BE A %VI9 ' Raises Question of Western Hemisphere Zone; Nasi Explana tion Disputed Washington, March 26.?An Amer ican answer to Germany^ extension of her sea blockade to the very bor der line of the Western Hemisphere, if not actually across it, was in pre paration tonight. Whether it would take the form of a warning to Germany or more de cisive measures to keep hostile op erations out of hemisphere waters, officials would not say until they had oorapleted a study of all as pects of the problem. Sumner Welles, acting Secretary of State, said the whole question was under consideration and ha probably would make a statement in a day or two. These possibilities were advanced unofficially; 1. A warning- w uennuy w &ccp submarines and other war vessels out of the Western Hemisphere. 2. An extension of the European combat zone to include Iceland, thus closing: the British-occupied Danish colony to - American ship ping. 3. An extension of the Pan-Ameri can neutrality zone to the east most limit of the Western Hemis phere. This would mean a widened patrol by American war vessels? a move which might at the same time relieve the British convoy problem by protecting: supply ships half-way across the Atlantic. Dispute Claim. German explanations that the blockade against British was ex tended to include Iceland because American ships had been unloading supplies there for transshipment to England were disputed by officials here. The Maritime Commission de clared that no American ships had been going to Iceland, Denmark's sister kingdom which was occupied by British troops last Summer soon after Germany occupied Denmark. The only ships plying between the United States and Iceland were raid to be six small vessels operating under the Icelandic flag and carry ing supplies for the island. The ships, it was stated, total 7,516 tons. One question raised by the new blockade move was its possible ef fect on shipment of food and other supplies from the United. States to Finland.; , Finnish boats which have been carrying substantial quantities at Bed Cross and other supplies to the port of Petsamo normally pass near Iceland through the area now de clared within the blockade zone. The American Export-Import Bank only last week granted a |7,000,000 loan to Finland, essentially for food ui nffa ? - - V. *? t I One source, in ?Tpbuniwg the I problem, said British navigators I permitted supplies to pass through I the British blockade to Finland I bat did not protect Finnish ships ? from German ?idaaerittos I 1J?1^ I The German move brought intx question the wnrt eastern limits ojI the Western Hnisphore and thJ traditional American policy of del fending that area of the world.

Eresi dent Roosevelt today froze ?U funds of Yugoslavfedn-the United States. ury shortly after YugoslaviajMgned the Rome-Beriin-Tokyo Axis pact. .1 No exptatatibn of the freezing was given, but it has been the poHey of the adnumstration -to- tie up the funds of any country coming under the domination of tha Axis powers.

Washington Notes BY LAW In urging United States Attorneys to be vigilant in prosecuting cases involving sabotage, espionage, draft evaders, etc., Attorney-General Jack son also insisted that prosecutors be on guard against those who insist that unconstitutional acts are neces sary in the nation's legal defense. He says that America will be best defended by law enforcement offi cials who respect government by law. SHIPS Survey of American shipping re sources show 1,150 ships available with 7,078,000 gross tons, exclusive of nine vessels of World War days. The merchant fleet includes 857 ships of 2,271,149 tons in international trade, 349 tankers of 2,578,000 gross tons and 386 ships in domestic trade, with about 1,857,800 tons. INQUIRY T1 s House recently tabled a reso lution proposing a special commit tee to investigate the progress of the defense program, by a vote of 252 to 112. Opposition came from regular committees who believed that the special committee would in fringe upon their perogativea and from labor leaders who frit tins Hie special committee might be unduly critical of labor activities.

' We call attention to tile National Gallery of Art because it repre sents, in the words of Paul Mot ion, son of the donor, a joint en terprise of the Government and of magnanimous citizens. This is very tree and the munificence of the gift to the public should be appreciated. It typifies a generous spirit which has repeatedly manifested itself in this country where many wealthy citizens have left valuable gifts for the benefit of the public generally. We think attention should be call-: ed to the modesty ofMr.fcdellon, who stipulated that the 'Gallery should not bear his name. His idea was that other wealthy Americans would add their collections to his and thus give the national capital ah unexr celled, collection of old masters. That this bjpe will ban fruit is seen in the gift of Mr. Kress and the' prom ised gift of Joseph E; Widener, -whore collection is very* valuable. The National Gallery of Art is a long, low structure facing Constitu tion Avenue. More than 800 carloads of Tennessee marble went into its erection. It is m the Jeffereonian manner, but the musty atmosphere associated with old museums is con spicuously absent. The exterio. marble shades from pink to white from the base upward. Visitors to the national capital are welcome to the Galleries bfeb they can also visit other exhibitions, not ably paintings at the .

According to my observation dar ing the short time that I have been in Faravflle* I can see a gnat possi bility and ooming need of a market to take care of those products which are gztdbaQy occupying part of our farm acreage due to the tobacco and cotton reduction* We are all beginning to wake up to the Carst that tike tobacco and cot ton farmers necessarily an going to have to turn to some other money crop to supplement their tohacco and cotton crop inoomn In other words, our farmers are going to be forced more or less to use, a combination of enterprises rather than just a spe cialized tobacco' crop. Therefore, while the farmer is going through this change is the time to begin this market an a ifTnnH scale so the farm er will not beoonm diitooursged'and dissatisfied while undergoing this change. ^ in-making plans for .a market, you shoulchfhiak !a terms of along time program and .oeep in mind that you will have to g radaaUy grow into it. iwm startup a m&rxet. - several things will have to be considered in order to gee one maximum enicieccy. 1.
