Where, if at all. lies the link between
the two potential conflagrations which
threaten the continents of Europe, Asia
and Africa?
The peace OF Europe and Africa
trembles at the growl of the British
Lion as he sees his supremacy threaten
ed in the Mediterranean, where Pre-
nier Benito Mussolini of Italy believes
his country should be supreme. The
stolid British move to action at last,
stepping outside the limits of the 1890
London naval limitations treaty to lead
the world IN a naval armament race.
The voluble Italians watch and go on
with their program of military expan-
sion. Italy has Ethiopia, Britain re
tains the Sudan, and the Mediterranean
is the bone of contention over which the
dogs of war snarl. It IS the waterway
to power.
To the east, Japan sends men and
guns into northern China-So many
men and guns that she will no longer
reveal their numbers. Japan must have
more territory, and she evidently in
tends to take it. Dormant China makes
no resistance World powers, with con-
cessons at stake, frOwn upon the Jap
anese program, but make no move to
hinder it. Only Soviet Russia offers
any real definite threat to stop the Jap
anese expansion.
An alliance between Britain and
Russia in the event of war with Italy
is almost certain If Russia we're suck
ed into European war, would Japan
leap at the opportunity to entrench her
self in Asia, along the border of Soviet
Siberia? Could Russia allow such en-
trenchment? 1t is not inconceivable
that Japan might attack Russia. in the
event of European war. Would that
mean alliance between Japan and Italy?
After all, Japan might cast longing eyes
even al India. where the British Lion
rules.
Huge, sprawling Russia holds the
key to many diplomatic problems in
the three continents.

Imperial Valley boys, members of
the Future Farmers of America organ
ization, won high honors in the annual
Chaffey contest at Ontario recently.
These boys are not the type which in
spired such sentimental outpourings as
that about the famous barefoot boy.
They are young men growing up to be
business men of a high calibre When
the control of agriculture rests in their
hands, it viii not be in the hands of
men who plow and plant, then trust to
luck for crop. 1t will be in the hands
of agricultural experts, who know what
to do and why they are doing it.
Agriculture has been one of the most
backward Of industries. The belief was
too prevalent that this man or that was
born to the soil" and needed nothing
but his birth to make him a good farmer.
Research, study and application are
just as. necessary in agriculture as IN
any other endeavor. The Future Farm
ers of today are learning that lesson
and they will be better farmers for it.

Maurice Chevalier is reported
gazing toward America again with

from Hollywood he was in pique.
And felt that to be an idol of the
boulevards again was as much as
one could ask. But Paris is a
tickle jade and when the initial
enthusiasm jelled, Chevalier felt the
lack of the old esprit. Indeed there
was easily detected frigidity
about his audiences once so warm

The farm act authorizes the secretary to
use one-third Of the nations customs revenues
for diversion Of surplus crops into relief chan
nels or for subsidy OF exports. Wallace was
reluctant TO go in for export bountles, agreeing
with the economists Of the eXport-import sec
ton and others that:
Export bounties would lead to endless dis
sipation of public funds dumping OF farm prod
ucts in nations which don't want them, retalla-
tion against the United States by counterVal-
ing duties and cumming up Of commercial rela-
tions
The idea doesn't work because you cam
dump on a country which won't take it. 1t
a flank attack upon the State Departments S
trade agreement program, chief aim OF which
is to stimulate export of American farm prod
ucts -,
But special groups of producers liked the
idea of exporting while the government made
up the loss and they were backed by men like
George Peek, Administrator Davis, Chairman
Marvin Jones of the House Agriculture Com
mittee and Congressman Harry Coffee Of Ne
braska.
Practically the whole AAA lent its usual
cooperation to these groups when they came for
ward with plans for using a balance of S35-

Laws in 80 States.
Turning from unemployment COM
pensation to public assistance, Winant
noted that 80 States already have
passed laws providing aid to aged, the
blind and orphaned or otherwise de-
pendent children complying with
provisions Of the Federal act.
Winant reported that considerable
progress had been made to further the
old-age benefit program under the
act. which is not yet in force. He
said he regarded this feature as the
most significant measure in the entire
social security program, because it
established a system of old-age an
nuity benefits. not on a basis Of need
but as an earned right"
BY an insurance-like system, workers
in industries covered by the social Sc
curity act will lay aside sums out of
present earnings, out Of which old-age
annuities will be paid to workers
reaching IS years of age. The first
old-age retirement annuities would be
paid in 1912.
Winant pointed out that these an
nuities should not be confused with
public assistance grants such as are
now paid to the needy aged In q
majority of the States.
