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. Lilian prosaniy meant | vk
that the United States "ought," not on<
it "MUST," once more reopen '
Jloiioorst to trade and migration. off
The United States, it is to be 1
hoped, will decide for itself about am
reopening its doors to trade and ini- hai
migration. This country needo more 1
of the immigration that made it what ori
it 1b?it is NOT a redskin country, om
its people came from Europe, and It .
need* many millions more of the em
? ' same kind. It also needs, and the rot
majority of its people intend to keep, 1
American jobs, American wages and tio
American money for the people wfio da;
live and work in the United States, of
? tie
There is nothing like being strong Hi
and prepared for trouble. 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.
Hear Lord Lothian on that sub- '
ject: an
'"Germany now has both equality da
and strength. Reparations have 1
gone. Part V of the Treaty of Ver- dr
, sallies has gone. The demilitariza- on
tion of the Rhineland has gone, and
the sooner that recovery of Ii?i natu- nei

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.
