TRIPS OF POST OFFICE

Farley Denies Aides Visit to

penditure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A trip to Europe by two post office
officials has been assailed from capitol
hill as "junketing" and defended by
Postmaster General Farley as highly
worth while
Testimony released today by the
House Appropriation Committee on the
Post Office supply bill disclosed an at
tack by Representative Blanton, Demo-
crat, of Texas, upon the journey OF
Solicitor Karl A. Crowley and Post
Office Inspector Oliver B. Williamson
Francis Drake fraud case.
Blanton asserted the only thing he
had been able to find that Williamson
obtained on the European assignment
was two copies of book called Family
Heirs of Sir Francis Drake" which, he
said, could have been obtained in the
Library of Congress.
Crowley, said the Texan, had been
unable to tell him "one thing of value
additional to what Inspector William
son secured, that he obtained in Lon
don, or Paris. or Berlin"
Farley replied by letter that the travel
was performed at his direction in prep
aration for the mail fraud case against
Oscar M. HartZell involving the Drake
estate.
He enumerated various documents OBJ
tanned by the two officials which he
asserted contributed ''in no small meas
ure to the success of the prosecution
which resulted in Hartzell being SEN
fenced to serve 10 years in the United
States penitentiary."

I'VE we're hoping it (the 2-cent city

have received indicated that we have
not had that increase in volume" said
Senator O'Mahoney Democrat, Of Wyo-
ming. testifying before the House Ap-
propriations Committee in his former

The truth of the matter is that the

Jessie is another smart one. She's
broken three water bowls. trying to tell
me they we're empty. She's very de-

exactly three times and then, if some
thing isn't done about it. she carries
it into the living room and throws 1t

Frankly, some Representatives are

GRADING PRODUCTS

No farmer would expect to sell at a
good price barrel filled with onions,
cucumbers. turnips and potatoes all mixed
together. 1t is almost as foolish to expect
to get the best market price for barrel
of single product in which all sorts are
dumped without regard to sizes.color or
cleanliness. :
BY neglecting to properly grade their
produce. many farmers must sell it for
much less than might be obtained for the
same stuff by exercising a little care in
preparing it for the market. In discussing
this important phase of marketing an ex-
pert says:
Quality and uniformity in grains,
fruit, cotton, potatoes, dairy and poultry
products command a premium from the
buyer. A crate of large clean eggs of uni
form color will bring more in central
market than one in which small, dirty.
many colored eggs are included. Dirty
potatoes of mixed sizes sell poorly along
side of clean ones that have been graded.
The difference in price between
graded and ungraded products often means
the difference between profit and loss in
farming operations.

MUST RUSSIA FIGHT JAPAN?


busy weighing persistent reports that
Japan and Russia are preparing for war.
The next two months will bring the answer
to whether the impending conflict is to be
launched this spring. careful forecast
of the pros and cons of the situation has
been prepared by Miles w. Vaughn, for
many years newspaper correspondent in
Japan and Eastern Asia, who finds exactly
six pros and the same number of cons. The
logic of the situation, he sums up, points
away from war-"but,' he adds, "war it.
self is not logical and facts are not always
important"
At the present time, 600 Soviet air
planes are massed on the eastern frontier,
and across the frozen surface of the Amur
rival armies snarl at each other,-300, 900
Russians against $4,000 Japanese.
Will the spring thaw bring war?
Many think that it must. Mr.. Vaughn, who
has been following at first hand the in
tricacies of Oriental politics, gives his rea-
sons for somewhat opposite view in Col
Iier's Weekly:
why should the two greatest powers
in the Orient risk their very existence in a
bloody test which would leave both of them
crippled? There are plenty of reasons.
First is the Chinese Eastern Railway
Russia has fought to retain control of it in
the past. She may fight to regain it.
Second is the Amur River, where the
armies face each other.
u Third is the fundamental foreign
policy of each country which are
aimed at domination of Asia.
s'Fourth-and a very important rea-
son it is-Japan has not yet convinced the
world that her army is under the control Of
her government.
Fifth is the perennial quarrel be-
tween Muscovites and the descendants of
the tribesmen of Yamato for exploitation
of the rich fishing areas off Kamchatka.
Sixth isa broad conflict in civilization
lin fundamental beliefs"
But there are just as good reasons to
believe neither power wants, or will risk
a major struggle. They include:
First, the Emperor of japan.
Second, the General Staff of the I'M
perial Japanese Army, which has its hands
very full in Manchuria.
Third, the United States of America.
Fourth, the aggressive opinion of the
Japanese people
Fifth, the peculiar commercial posi-
ton of both nations.
Sixth, the fact that the time is not
ripe for either country to strike
Mr.. Vaughn adds that the question of
war or no-war depends to considerable
extent on the attitude of the japanese war
lords, who are to considerable extent in
dependent of Toxic.
