 Obviously, the last thing Mus sOll1i wants is war with Britain, and he knows that nothing is more liable to fan British opinion to white heat than tainpering with a vessel flying the Union Jack.
 Probably, therefore, British vessels carrying munitions to Ethiopia under the lifted league embargo, will be able to land their cargoes at the terminus of the Djihouti-Addis Ahaba rail. way without hlndrance.
 What Musgolinh is counting on is catching the munitions after they leave Djjbouti and begin their hazardous three.day trip on Q narrow gauge line across the Ethiopian plateau.
 Ambassador DOdd
 The state department is saying nothing about 1t, but the German foreign office has made some gun-rosa complaints about the political activity of Martha Dodd, daughter of the American afn- bagsador fin Berlin.
 Cause of complaint was some articles contributed by Miss Dodd under her own name to the cofr- munist paper, New Masses" Anything savoring of this ism is anathema to the Nazt govern- fnent.
 On one occasion Propaganda Minister 0oebbels made Q public reference to the fact that Miss Dodd publicly exhibited sym pathy for persecuted Jews. German Armament
 American embassy dispatches from Berlin indicate that the Germans are rubbing their hands in great glee over the league quarrel with Italy. It ali plays into Hitler's hands.

 one military development in Germany has been the establish- ment of large numbers of under ground airdromes safe from bombardnent by enemy planes in war time.

 "BORAH." 30,OOO,OO0 Housewives At last the Roosevelt adminis- tration is beginning to get con- ner-conscious. That is the chief inside reason behind the extreme lack of enthusiasm upon the part of Henry Wallace and his AAA cohorts to put across potato crop control.
 Thirty million housewives are more than Horny-H Handed Henry cares to face.
 There was . day, not long ago. when not merely Henry Wallace. but General Johnson and other recovery administrators trod rough-shod over the rights of consumers, spurned the consutn- ers' councils theoretically estab- lished to protect them.
 Worried
 But now the administration Is worried. The possibility of c housewife-consume revolt is no idle threat.
 Wallace and his lieutenants rec member only too vividly the re- cent food -strikers in various cit- ies and the delegation of angry Detroit women who Stormed Washington.
 Also, from labor department the consumers no l0nger are an un0rghnized mass. A recent survey by the department dis- closed inst there are close to 1000 consumer cO0peratives m the United states with their number and membership in- creasing weekly by leaps and bounds.
 spuds are produced in more than 30 states. with the number of growers, according to census bureau figrues, approximately B. 100000. Of this total. however, less than 100000 are so-called commercial growers. Tn Maine, practically all the commercial growing is done in one county-- ArooBtOck.
