American Fleet to Maneuver in North Pacific ? Discord in World Power Conference. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C WeiterD N?wapa.p*r Union. U UNDREDS of thousands of *? 1 Nazis, attending the party con vention in Nuremburg, were roused to great enthusiasm by a proclama fuehrer Hitler to the effect that Ger many, naving re armed and scrapped most of the Ver sailles treaty, was ready to press its demand for restora tion of its pre-war colonies. This, he asserted, was nec Mflnm 4n fViA VA. . , .. caaaij ww Hitler nomic independence of Germany and would be achieved within the next four years. Said the chancellor: "It is regrettable that the rest of the world fails to understand the na ture and greatness of our task. If a certain British politician declares Germany needs no colonies as she may buy her raw materials, then this remark is about as bright as that of the Bourbon princess who, when she saw a mob crying for bread, wondered why ? if the people had no bread? they did not eat cake. "If Germany had not, for fifteen years, been squeezed dry and cheat ed of her entire international sav ings; if she had not lost her entire foreign holdings; if, above all, she still possessed her colonies, we could much more easily master the difficulties." Then, addressing the convention directly, the fuehrer launched a new campaign against bolshevism and the Jews. "Bolshevism seeks to exterminate governments based on a community of race and blood and replace them by non- Aryan Jewish element of no race," Hitler warned. "Sooner or later sovietistic authority states will end in anarchy, since Jewish ele ment* possess only despotic facul ties, never organizing reconstruc tive ones. "The rock of foundation of the state is an authoritarian will. Un limited individual liberty leads to anarchy. All states have experi enced the destructive effects of de mocracy." C OLLOWING closely upon the via 1 it to France of Gen. Rydz-Smigly of Poland, France and Poland signed a military treaty of friend ship. It was reported, too, that France had agreed to lend 600,000, 000 francs for completion of Po land's new railroad linking the Si lesian coal fields with the port of Gdynia, rival of the Free City of Danzig. Josef Beck, Polish foreign min ister, told Berlin the Franco-Polish accord would have no effect oa friendly relations with Germany; but nevertheless there was consid erable anxiety in Warsaw concern ing Germany's reaction. DACK at his desk after an illness " of six months, Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swansor, im mediately made an announcement 4V??* carill Ka nf Hoan interest to Japan. The annual fleet maneuvers, which last M r y were shifted to the Canal Zone as a concilia tory gesture to Ja pan, will be held next year th North Pacific and Hawai ian waters, and pruDCDiy ine iokio _ _ press will yelp See. Swanson again. With the announcement Sec. Swanson asserted Japanese plans to retain overage submarines and de stroyers involve a "violation" of the London and Washington naval trea ties, which are to expire December 31 by Japanese abrogation. He fol lowed up his charge with the state ment that the United States has completed plans for two new battle ships and is prepared to begin con struction "at a moment's notice." The fleet maneuvers, officially designated as "fleet proolem No. 18," will be held during late May and early June. The area a t opera tions, it was indicated, will be the triangle between the Aleutian Is lands, Hawaii, and Seattle, where the fleet problem of 1935 was con ducted. Vessels and planes prob ably will work as far west as the Wake Islands. Armament of the new battleship* u> at present limited to 14 inch guns, tut Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, said frankly that if Japan does not agree to this limitation by next April, "the sky is the limit." A MERICAN dairymen are pro testing vainly to Secretary of State Hull against the reciprocal trade treaty with Brazil which, they assert, is seriously Injuring the in dustry by encouragement of the manufacture of imitatio ? butter. Under the treaty, Brazilian babassu oil, unknown in United States mar kets prior to 1935, now is being used at the rate of more than a million pounds a month for manufacture of a butter substitute. Mr. Hull referred the protests to Assistant Secretary Sayre, who pointed out that the provision for free importation of the nut and oil was authorized by congress in the trade agreement act of 1934. He added that the success of the pro gram was of vital interest to the American dairy farmer, "who has more to gain from the re-establish ment of prosperous domestic mar kets for his products through the restoration of an abundant foreign trade than by b policy of excluding even the most remotely competitive products." THERE was glee in government circles when it was announced that the United States treasury of fering of $914,000,000 in 20 to 23 year two and three fourths per cent bonds dated September 15 was oversubscribed nine times. Of course those who are informed know that the reason is the banks, in surance companies and other in vestment institutions are glutted with money for which they have been seeking profitable employment. Of the treasury's latest offering $400,000,000 of bonds is to raise new cash and $514,000,000 is to provide for the exchange of 1.5 per cent notes maturing September 15. HUNDREDS of delegates, from many nations, were present when the third World Power con ference opened in Washington, with ^resident juiius Dorpmueller in the chair. Prospects were good for a use ful discussion of the problems connected with the industry, but discord crept in early in the pro ceedings. At a round table debate on pub lic regulation and ownersrup 01 uuii Julius ties, M. P. David Dorpmneller son, representing Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York, said the only way to reduce electric rates is by threatening pub lic ownership. Three prominent pri vate utility men promptly "took a walk," and John C. Dal ton, man ager of the County of London Elec tric Supply, criticized Davidson's talk as a "tirade." The discussion started m connec tion with a paper by John E. Zim merman, president of the United Gas Improvement compan), who held that power "yardsticks" such as the TVA and Boulder Dam can not be compared with private utili ties unless operating conditions are similar. Such yardsticks, ? ; said, will lead to competitive methods already proved "wasteful and un satisfactory." In papers taking the opposite view. Prof. William E. Mosher of Syracuse university, and James C. Bonright of the New York State Power Authority, held that public competition with private companies is "indisputable evidence" of de clining faith in regulation. ACCORDING to the New York Times, whose dispatcher from Washington are usually most reli able, President Roosevelt is consid ering for submission to congress, in event of his re-election, a far-reach ing plan of governmental reorgani zation. The plan possibly would in volve, the Times stated, the con solidation or abolition of some of the major departments and bu reaus. "Whatever the President finally proposes," the Time* said, "on* may hear in informed quarters now that the regular cabinet posts might be decreased ..." A possibility, the Times stated, would be consolidation of the army, navy and air corps is a department of national defense. pIERCE attacks by the Spanish 1 rebels resulted in the capture of Irun, on the French border, and the defenders were mercilessly slaughtered save for those Who were able to take refuge in France. The town was reduced to smoking ruins, and the victors promptly started an advance westward against San Sebastian, their main objective in the north. Recognizing the fact that this large resort city could not long be defended, the government administration there offered to sur render the place if full amnesty were promised; but declared if this were refused the city would be burned to the ground and the 625 fascist prisoners held there would be shot. There was great discord among the defenders, the anarch ists insisting on destroying the city anyhow. Then the Basque nationals took a hand, assuming control of the city and sending a lot of the an archists to Bilbao. This move re sulted in a virtual armistice while negotiations for surrender of the city went forward. Later it was reported that the rebel forces had rejected the terras of surrender, and shelling of the city began. The civilian inhabitants were fleeing in panic. South of Madrid the government forces were said to have made progress and there were claims that Talavera had been taken and that the Alcazar in Toledo was practical ly battered to pieces by loyalist artillery. The Madrid government was re organized and Francisco Largo Ca ballero, left wing Socialist, was made premier. French workers in Paris in a great demonstration insisted that the government abandon its non intervention policy and give active aid to the Spanish government. Premier Blum, while not conceal ing his sympathy with the Madrid crowd, declared that if France dropped neutrality, Italy and Ger many would be able to give the Spanish rebels much speedier and more effective aid than the French could give to the loyalists. Representatives of twenty- four powers were scheduled to confer in London on plans for the establish ment of a nonintervention control committee. Portugal, however, was still holding out. /"^REWS of two Portuguese war dships mutinied and decided to teice the vessels to the aid of the Spanish government forces at Mal aga or Valencia. As the ships started to leave their buoys the shore batteries opened fire. Twelve of the mutineers were killed and twenty wounded, and the others speedily gave in. The Lisbon gov ernment said the men were under the influence of communist propa ganda. SENATOR GEORGE W. NORRIS of Nebraska, Republican, who said he wished to retire from public life, is a candidate for re-election ir spite of himself. A petition plac ing him on the ticket was filed by more than forty thousand of his friends, and only one thousand sig natures were necessary. Mr. Norris it seventy-five years old. Chairman Farley of the Democratic party said the filing of the Norris petition made him "very happy." Gov. Eugene Talmcdge of Geor gia, severe critic of the Nev* Deal, was defeated for nomination as United States senator by the pres ent incumbent, Richard B. Russell. Ir Washington state Gov. Clarence D. Martin was renominated b) the Democrats and former Gov. R. H. Hartley was named by the Repub licans. Gov. Eci C. Johnson o Colo rado captured the Democratic nom ination for senator and will be op posed by R. L. Sauter, Republican. Arizona Democrats refused renomi nation to Gov. B. B. Moeur, select ing instead R. C. Stanford of Phoenix. In Connecticut the Re publicans nominated Arthur M. Brown for governor. U EROIC actions and dramatic * ?* rescues marked the collision of the excursion steamer Romance and the steamship New York in a dense fog ten miles oft Boston, Mass. The Romance sank in twen ty minutes, but every passenger and member of the crew was taken safely aboard the New York. The rescued numbered 268, most t>f the passengers being women and chil dren from Greater Boston. The New York then turned back into Boston harbor with a twelve foot bole in her bow. There was no panic aboard the Romance, ana the officers and crews of both vessels displayed discipline and bravery that elicited high praise.

BURGESS - THE ANGRX TRAPPER TERRY MUSKRAT had about de "J cided that Farmer Brown's Boy wasn't coming back when he heard footsteps and a moment later Farm er Brown's Boy appeared coming down the Laughing Brook toward the Smiling Pool. Jerry remained hidden where he could not be seen, but where he himself could see all that went on around the Smiling Pool. In one hand Farmer Brown's Boy carried a bunch of things that clanked #*.h*.?'*Jked. Jerry knew ? ? ? The Top of the Stick Was Split and in This He Slipped a Piece of Paper. what they were. He would know those things as far as he could see them. They were steel traps. Jer ry scowled as he saw them. The sound of them hitting together sent little cold shivers over him. They were dreadful things, even more dreadful than terrible guns.

But these dreadful traps were left hidden in the very places where a fellow had the right to feel safest, ready to seize him in cruel steel jaws and hold him to suffer pain and dreadful fright for hours and hours, sometimes for days. Jerry could think of nothing so dread- j ful as those steel traps, and so he shivered at the sight of them. Farmer Brown's Boy threw the traps down on the bank of the Smil ing Pool. His usually sunny face was clouded. From his pocket he took a piece of paper and a pencil. Then he sat down and began to write. When he had finished he went over to Jerry's favorite log and thrust a stick in the bank Just above it. The top of the stick wai> split, and in this he slipped the piece of paper. Then he went back, gath ered up the traps, slung them over his shoulder and tramped off in the direction of home. All the rest of that day Jerry kept an eye on that piece of paper at the end of his favorite old .og. It puzzled him. He didn't go near it. He didn't dare to. He was suspi cious of it. It might be some new kind of trap. Jerry was very un happy. Early the next morning Jerry heard some one coming down the Laughing Brook. He promptly hid where he could watch. In a few minutes the stranger whom he had one time thought his friend ap peared, and it was plain to be seen that he was very angry. He was muttering as he strode along. Al most at once he saw the piece of paper left by Farmer Brown's Boy. He strode over to it, picked it up, and read it. This is what was on it: "No trapping or hunting is al lowed on this property. You, who ever you are, can get your traps at Farmer Brown's house." The trapper turned and shook his fist in the direction of Farmer Brown's. Then, still muttering, he walked away hurriedly, but not in the direction of Farmer Brown's. Jerry didn't understand it at all, but for some unknown reason he i felt better. ? T. W. Burma.?

MOMS COOK BOOK CULINARY THOUGHTS IT IS Just a matter of taste, of 1 course, the kinds of foods we like; tomatoes we all admit are one of our choice vegetables, rich in vitamins and adding attractiveness to any dish by their rich color, but are we not overdoing the tomato sauce business? 11 is served over all kinds of meat. Ash and fowl, as spanish rice, pilaf. Creole sauce goulash, hungarian, and otherwise, until the sight of tomato on spaghet ti, macaroni and noodles makes us wish we could get back for a while at least to the days of our grand mothers when the tomato was sim ply an ornament and considered poisonous to eat. We have too many mixtures in our diets. A sliced ripe tomato served fresh and natural is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but when we put it into ail sorts of mix tures they become a mess. A few such dishes once in a great while 61DUGAGP n J ? - ? l "Most women think life is a Marry-ro-roud," says Reno RitxJ, "and the ram* la to see how many rings they can snatch." ? Ball SradMau.?

There were visions of brown juicy meat with the accompanying brown gra vy, but when it appeared there were large cubes of beef floating ir rivers of tomato sauce; imagine a stew called old-fashioned, served thus. When we disguise the dish we are serving by any sauce too highly seasoned or flavored, we are guilty of a grave dietary error. When we I PITY THE POOR Bj DOUGLAS MALLOCH Pity the poor ?
