BRISBANE THIS WEEK Hear the Noble Lord He Sees a New Germany = A Must for the U. S. A. V Strength Alone Protects An association called "The Anglo- I German Fellowship," a name which shows that men forget wars as eas- i ily as they do seasickness, gave a dinner in London in honor of the Duke and Duchess of Brunswick, who who are Germans, as was the British royal family originally. Among other speakers at the dinner. Lord Lothian talked about war, j the importance of doing something to satisfy Germany, now that Germany is strong enough to fight back. Lord Lothian has discovered that it is one thing to deal with dissatisfied populations when they are unarmed. and a very different thing to deal with the same dissatisfied populations when they are fully armed "Die British made that discovery for themselves long ago, before lord | Lothian was bom, in the process of building up their great empire. If 1 the Boers, Hindus, Zulus and some others had been as thoroughly armed as they were thoroughly dissatisfied, i F the British empire would be smaller, j K Americans who want to know what n Europeans, including the English, E art* thinking and planning, will be in- j li terested in the following statement ai by Lord Lothian concerning Get - ir m Q TIT* "f boo bo?w -1 I * ? < . Ab 1UM I/run OUg^COLCU UltlLl t'l England and France should pacify Germany by giving back some of the ? colonial properties taken from Germany at the end of the war. I<ord K Lothian is one of the numeroiis Eng- " liahmen who do not believe in "Riv- |j ing things baak." Said he: "Personally, I do not believe that the problem can be solved along the lines of the restoration to Germany Ti of the old German colonies. That , would not solve Germany's difficulties. and things have changed since 1014. Tlie question must be con- , sidered on much wider lines. All the um colonial nations must be willing to Tu make their contribution to a trans- Cai fer of territory. The new world as m<, well as the old must be willing once dri more to reopen its doors to trade and col migration." ] The statement of the noble lord tea that "the new world as well as the lio old MUST be willing," etc., has no 1 pleasant sound in American cars, iea The word "must." especially, is one 151 thai a wise Englishman could hard- 90 ly apply to the United States after 1 Lord L.

You no- J tide how differently Germany ap- Fo pears in the eyes of France and oth- in er nations surrounding her today, an i compared with the years after the onwar.

FORECAST '36 CORN CROP AS SHORTEST IN 5ft YEARS TIME Washington.?A corn ciOp rnm - i by the July heat to 1,439,135,000 bushels on the basis of its August 1 condition of 40.8 per cent of normal, as forecast by the crop reporting board of the department of agriculture, characterizes the 1936 drought as the most severe in the history of this product of the farm. There will be less corn than for any season in 50 years. There is in prospect the smallest potato crop in 20 years. Irrespective of weather conditions during the remainder of the season, the board warned, there will be a shortage of grain that will necessitate rather heavy marketings of grain-consuming livestock and a reduction of the grain ration of the livestock wintered. Drought conditions were admitted by officials here to bo worse than even they had anticipated. Crop prospects declined materially during July, and as a result there will probably be light supplies of a number of important food crops. The August 1 prospects indicated light crops of wheat, rye, buck-j wheat, beans, potatoes, several com-' ntercial truck crops and canning vegetables, and the principal fruits exceDt nears and citrus all direct.lv re lating to the federal relief problem. The President -will have much to think about when he visits the drought afflicted states. The Indicated production of all wheat in 1936 is now 632,745,000 bushels, compared with 638,399,000 bushels seen in prospect July 1, last, and 623,440,000 bushels last year, the five-year average 1928-82, being 863,564,000 bushels. may be kept off the streets and at the same time be instructed in healthful play. $1.50 PER YEAR ',v,~ - , ? > J RM PROJECT MAY BEfOMPLETED BY ENI?
