cheese at his residence, Arden
feeding them one week and starv-
ing them the next by closing down

before they closed" he said.
The council agreed to have a con-
ference with Mr.. Wood as soon as

and they talked mainly about the

to report the conversation because
it was obviously private. 1t was in

chiefly for the reason that their ex-
change of views. based upon per-

parts of the world during the first
months of this year, ended in a dis
agreement over the question as TO
what part the United States would
play in another European war which
both feared was imminent

I'VE are pretty certain the allies
