Question: How can 1 keep my black
walnuts after they are harvested?
Answer: The nuts should be gather
cd as soon as they fall from the trees
and the hull taken off as soon as it
begins to turn dark. Never let the
bulls dry hard on the walnuts. After
they are hulled the nuts should.s' be
dried in the sun for not less than ten
days. They should then be stored in
a dry place where air can circulate
through them. Be sure that the nuts
are not stored close to any kind Of
oil, grease, or kerosene. Walnuts that
are properly handled and cared for
will keep indefinitely.

Chang and the Russians joined

Chang never liked the Russians too

had their uses, but not too many. So
he quarreled with the Russians after
they had helped him to victory. The

Now, in Canton Chang owed a debt

Militant Plan for Defense of Lands
Adopted bv Mexican Farm Federation

President Cardenas, said his secre-
tary, is determined to check counter
revolutionary movements with force,
and will continue to give the farmers
the arms necessary for their security
and legitimate defense. It will not be
necessary, said Rodriguez to employ
the military forces of the nation to
combat the subversive elements. for
the farmers, appropriately armed,
should be able to protect themselves
against their enemies.
Turning to less militant affairs, he
commended the progress which the
agrarian groups had made in develop
ment of lands allotted to them and
in their growing sense of responsibility.
The latter is indicated, he said, by the
number Of requests being made for
small land holdings and in the re-
cent necessity of reinforcing the Ma
tional Farm Credit Bank with 10000
600 pesos additional capital for financ-
ing the farmers on new lands.
Continuing in the name of Presi-
dent Cardenas, Rodriguez urged all
the farmers to take part in sports,
and to use their influence to erect
in every community O small school
and to defend rural school teachers,
who are frequently. he said, made the
victims of opposition interests.
1t is important. he said, for agra
rians to maintain close contact with
the officers Of the National Farm
Credit Bank, to take an active part
in the political life Of the communities
and to be completely armed. "Rifies
are the strongest arguments which
agrarians can have to protect their
rights and their land" he added.

away from Marking He has fought
against former friends and allies. He
has fought Chinese Communists.
But Chang has never fought Japan,
because that would have been foolish.
When Chang fights Chinese Com
munists and drives them into the hills
he usually stops the war and saves
ammunition. He expects them to
starve in the hills.
Avoids Fight With Japan.
But he knows that fighting Japan
would not be like that. 1t would be
a swift defeat, unless Soviet Russia.
Great Britain and the United States
intervened. And if they intervened-
which is really not likely-most of
the fighting would be on Chinese soil
These great powers might defeat
Japan-but when they were through
there would be nothing left of China
and perhaps less of Chang Kai-shek.
So he does not fight Japan. He only
negotiates with the japanese.
Chang is quick-tempered. but slow
to make up his mind. Once that
happens, he is as stolid as a blue
nosed mule.
He can be ruthless, yet he is good
to his friends and has spent kings
ransom improving his native village
of Fenghua. He can view the wiping
out of thousands of young Com
munists without batting an eye, but
he grows sentimental about the young
officers of his army and organizes the

N N EAlCO CII4.-A mll1CdnL
M program for the defense Of
their lands was adopted by
the Confederation of Mexican
Farmers at its recent annual conven-
ton here
Luis Rodriguez, President Lazaro
Cardenas' private secretary, opened
the convention with an exhortation
to the farmers to defend their lands
from the forces of reaction" which
are attempting to impede the division
of lands now being carried out under
the supervision of Cardenas.
Recent outbreaks against the agra
rians have taken place in the states
Of Queretaro, Guanajuato, Jalisco and
Zacatecas In these outbreaks there
have been fires, bandit raids, killings
and diSflgurements of victims. Such
uprisings are caused. says the admin
istration, by large land holders and
religious fanatics who oppose the re-
form program of the Cardenas govern
ment.
To stop the attacks upon the agra
riarss. the government has planned
the militarization of the farmers into
q home guard, and has literally dis
tributed arms among them. 1t is es-
timated that within recent months
$1,000 rifles with the necessary am
munition have been given to agrarians
throughout the republic. The farmers
were urged during the convention to
Use arms, not for MISUNDERSTANDING
among themselves, but to protect the
lands which had been given to them
recently.

Greatest Menace to German Security

panic. Hitler is doing his utmost to
defeat non-intervention as he de-
feated disarmament and to engulf
Europe in the Spanish volcano.
The feeling strengthens among the
closest students Of German policy that
it is not the menace without but the
menace within Germany that explains
what is happening and that Hitler is
heading for war not because of his
fanatical obSession about bolshev-
ism, but because NaziSm Il fall

other tyrants, he is coquetting with
foreign adventure to escape from in

tartan state. the material of explosion

taking for a more efficient system of
espionage in the homes. In future
these 'cells" are to be extended to
private houses, and "cell" leaders will
be responsible for contact" with the
residents in single house or a small
group of houses. Nominally, this is
intended to keep the government in
formed Of grievances; actually, of
course, it is vast network of espion-
age operating through terror Of
exposure.
1t is the natural corollary of the
internal policy which is reducing
Germany to the condition of a self
four-year plan. the nation Is to be
made self-sufflcing in regard to raw
materials. Meanwhile, the people are
to tighten their belts and to live
mainly on potatoes and other vege.
tables which can be grown at home.
while avoiding meat and fats which
have to be largely imported from
abroad and paid for with cash.
Germany, in fact. is being put on a
war diet in order that she may build
up q triumphant war machine from
her own internal resources. And in
order to make this palatable, she is
presented with a nightmare picture

ACHIEVEMENTS OFPARLEY
AT BUENOS AIRES LISTED
Definite Machinery for Consultation
Should Prove of Great Value,
Observer States.

ference. but that does not mean their
exclusion rendered meaningless and
void everything that was agreed on at
Buenos Aires.
Most Of the criticism of futility is
directed against the pledge of con-
sultation in the event of war or threat
of war, which was the basis of the four
major instruments signed at Buenos
Aires. It is argued that consultation
is nothing new; that. always. govern
ments were ready to consult and in
many cases had actually consulted one
another for the sake of international
peace. It is further charged that con-
sultation is vague and empirical
term, and that the Buenos Aires con-
ventions fail to set down the lines and
the scope Of such consultation.
Holds Allegations Mistaken.
Both allegations are mistaken. The
pledge of joint consultation for the
maintenance of peace in the Americas
did not exist before. Governments
might have consulted one another in
order to restore peace between their
neighbors and then again they might
not, and in many instances they did
not. for fear of alternating the good
will of one Of the parties or provoking
charges Of interference. Now, for the
first time, there is written obligation
to consult jointly whenever the peace
of the continent is endangered, and at
the request of any one of the signatory
parties whether involved or not in the
controversy.
Even more serious, and more unfair,
is the other reproach. The compro-
mise of consultation is neither vague
nor simply theoretical. Those who
make the imputation must have seen
only the first convention, which is
short and drafted in more or less gen.
eral terms, but not the main one,
which in eight long articles provides
the aims, the means and the rules
of such consultation, intended, pre-
ciSely, to coordinate and make ef-
fective the various instruments which
have failed to preserve peace in the
past.
The language Of article I provides
specifically that the joint consulta-
ton should be for the definite pur-
pose Of assisting ''in the fulf1llment
by the American republics Of existing
obligations of pacific settlement" and
it takes great pain in describing one
by one what such obligations are.

IT IS pity that the greatest news
story of the century" should have
reached its climax at time when
L the representatives Of the 81
American republics were earnestly
endeavoring, at Buenos Aires, to i'm
prove the peace machinery of the
New World. Perhaps if the events
leading to the abdication Of King Ed
ward had not monopolized for an
entire month the front pages and
editorial columns of the press. there
might be today a better and more
accurate appreciation of the achieve
ments of the Buenos Aires Confer
ence.
The word achievements" is used
here purposely. The criticisms of ex-
tremists-both extreme optimists, who
naively expected the conference would
solve all the ills and problems of Pam
Americanisms, and extreme skeptics
who still refuse to see the facts-were
answered in previous articles. It re-
mains now to throw some light upon
the concrete results of the Buenos
Aires parley. for even these seem to
have fallen the victims of that lack
of proper information.
Even those who admit that it was
childish to expect too much of this
one conference and that the psyche
logical benefit derived from it is, in
itself, a sufficient gain, are prone to
minimize its practical results. They
claim that the conventions signed at
Buenos Aires were merely innocuous
declarations, exchanges of diplomatic
platitudes. but total failure from
the point Of view of the actual i'm
provement Of the peace machinery.
In their opinion things stand today, as
far as the instrumentalities for peace
are concerned, just where they stood
before the conference started.
Text of Conventions.
Now, whoever expresses that view
either has not read carefully the def
mite text of the several conventions
concluded at Buenos Aires-which,
unfortunately, the papers have not
published in full-or else has been un-
duly Influenced by the rather exag-
gerated reports of 'obstructionist tao
tics" which succeeded in eliminating
certain features Of the original
projects.

r ONDON.-Not the least mis-
chievous consequence of die
II tatorship is the suppression of
the freedom of the press. The
evil is illustrated by the case of Ger
many today. Within the wall Of
silence, all is rumor, secrecy, fear OF
the unknown. Without, all is suspi-
cion, distrust, expectation Of the
worst. Europe is like family
assembled around the bedside of a
patient in high fever. and fearful
from hour to hour that the delirium
may turn to violence. That the fever
grows progressively worse unfortu-
nately is beyond question. BY COM
parison with the Spring Of last year,
when Hitler was putting forward the
basis for a Western pact and when
I was still hoping that the Anglo
German naval understanding might
pave the way to a scheme for demili-
tarizing the air, the symptoms are
alarmingly more ominous.
They are ominous even when they
are farcical, as in the. case of the
storms-in-a-teacup which rage on
trivial matters affecting German dig
nifty and amour propere. No sooner
has the preposterous quarrel with
Norway, because the Nobel Prize for
peace had been awarded to Herr Won
Ossietzky, died down than the spoon
fed press of Germany is lashed into
a frenzy because the swastika and
the German anthem have not been
duly honored in connection with the
royal wedding in Holland. Europe
laughs at these follies, but 1t laughs
with apprehension.
For such grotesque agitation over
trifies is evidence either of an unbal-
anced mind, or Of nation in state
of acute fear that sees enemies behind
every bush, or Of a policy that delib-
erately aims at catastrophe and is
engaged in flogging its nation into
the temper of a beleaguered people
who must fight for their existence
against q hostile world. It was the
last impression that was created by
the extraordinary Christmas message
which Hitler delivered through his
deputy, Hess. No one could listen to
that address without receiving q
nightmare picture Of Germany sur

mics leagued together In . vast con-
spi1acy b destroy u. And yet. side
