SOVIET, u. S.
STEERING into
WHEAT SCRAP
Trouble Is Feared at July
Gathering of Nations
ENJOYS.
BY HERBERT MOORE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON. June 9.-The task Of
curbing the intense rivalry between
Soviet Russia and western countries
for domination Of the wheat market
will confront the permanent COM
mittee of wheat-exporting nations
at its first meeting here this month.
It is feared that a breakdown Of
the cordialty established at the
international wheat conference in
London in May would plunge the
exporting countries into disastrous
campaign Of underselling and
dumping"
The committee comprises one
member each from United States.
Argentina, Australia, Bulgaria. Can
ada, Hungary, India. Poland, Ru-
mania, Soviet Russia and Yugosla-
via.
Differ on Disposal
All the countries are agreed as to
the causes Of the present depres-
sion in the wheat market, but differ
widely on how to dispose of their
huge SURPRISES. Herein lies the chief
difficulty of preserving a solid front.
Soviet Russia, Poland, Rumania,
Hungary, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria
fought for the adoption of a quota
scheme and an international con-
troll agency to market SURPRISES, at
the London conference. They ac-
cepted the permanent committee
with reluctance, but pledged their
cooperation.
The United States delegation
took an emphatic stand against any
attempt to interfere with the free
dom Of the international market
Define Their Positions
Back of the Soviet and Danubian
attitude there was a clear-cut as
sertion of their determination to re-
gain their pre-war places in the
world wheat market.
To accomplish this, they must
displace the United States. Can
ada and Argentina, which have
dominated the market since the
World war.
The Soviets charged the United
States delegation with responsible
ity for the conferences failure to
achieve more positive results, point
ing out that the majority of the
exporting countries were inclined to
adopt an international agreement
for the regulating of the grain mar
ket.

Youthful Warriors

The claims of Ernest Sweeney of
HaverhilI Mass. and Chester Merit
man of Romney, w. Va, both of
whom enlisted in the American army
at the age of fourteen, to being the
youngest American soldiers in the
World war;" has brought out the fact
that there were other youthful Amer
lean warriors who served In France
even though it was under another
flag. L. S. M. Robinson, secretary of
department of the Navy League of
the United States, is the authority for
the following statement:
"Many very young American boys
enlisted in the Canadian army, where
regulations were less stringent than
those of American recruiting officers.
This department has in it's files no
less than 81 records of boys under
sixteen years Of age who Joined the
army, two of whom were killed in
battle when barely sixteen years old.
"Among them were l.. Goldstein.

Doughty, fifteen years all but three

James Prenevost, thirteen years old,
of whom the latter two were born in
Wisconsin and Minnesota and were
living in Canada at the time of their
enlistment.

A Sharp Affair

| No group of stories of the World
war can possibly be complete without
the gem which involves colored
American soldier, presumably of the
Ninety-second division, who took part
In an attack.
This man was about to step off In
his first engagement and he proposed
to be prepared for mortal and SAN
culinary combat. So, for a half hour
Or more before the forward movement
was to be launched he occupied him.

A brick which some German had left
behind made an excellent hone. BY
III" hour the colored man had his
|. Equalizer" sharpener to the finest
edge. Opening IT in his hand he went
forward with the rest of the troops.
One of the first places visited was
a huge dugout and, according to popu.
lar report, the place was occupied by
several of the enemy. One Of them
made dash for the razor-bearer as he
entered.
The colored man. veteran of levee
dances all along the Mississippi,
slashed just once with the fine-edged
razor as his enemy was about to Crap
pie with him.
"Hard luck, colored boy. You never
touched me- the German said In ex.
cellent English, but stopping suddenly
In his rush.
"You JUS think didn't touch you,"
replied the colored soldier, a wide
toothsome grin showing on his face
"You JUS thinks didn't touch you,"
he repeated. "But you JUS waits
white boy, till you tries to waggle
yo' head!"
