THE NEW D e a l.
IN WASHIN On
by RODNEY BUTCHER.

The present program calls for
administration OF the conserva-
tion-domestic allotment law to be
turned over to the states in 1898,
along with added authority for
regulation of production and
maintenance of farm income.
However. it's not unlikely that
Congress will be asked to amend
the law to keep administration
of the act in Washington and con-
fer those added powers on AAA.
CONGRESS must decide wheth-
~ er the crop insurance plan
worked out by Wallace's expects
is to be applied at first only to
wheat, or should also be applied
at once to two or three other
crops. such as corn and cotton.
In years of surplus. this plan
proposes. farmers would pay their
premiums in the form of crop sur
plus. Indemnities for loss through
drouth or other weather factors
would be paid to the insured
farmer in his bad crop years, Ell
ther in cash or in quantities of
the stored surplus.
This will be an administration
answer to the triple problem Of
low prices in bumper crop years,
periodic distress when crops are
destroyed by weather factors, and
the shortage of farm supplies
sometimes caused by drouth.
THE committee probably will
recommend a modified version
of the Bankhead-Jones farm ten
ancy act, which once passed the
Senate, providing Individual owns.

term annuities, renting from the

operatives.
The new program is expected to
stress more experimentation, va
rious forms of leases, and state
action to improve tenant-owner
relationships by such devices as
guaranteeing tenants compensa.
tions for improvements made on
land. 1t may even call for nd
eral financial inducements to
states passing special legislation.

A man I am interested in and

who was without work and look

"He fell out with his boss,' she

Yes, yes. :,

take more nonsense every day OF
his customers than his stiff-necked

in sninety days off him, he too
would be out of a job.

1T is FOLLY TO ASSUME THAT WAR
is INEVITABLE
(By BRUCE CATT0N)

II you believe the prophets, war In Eu-
rope is just the same as nevitable-prob-
ably in 1887, almost certain by 1888.
The prophecies look almost foolproof.
Some nations insist on getting for them
selves things which can be won and held
only by force the nations from which they
plan to. get them are equally insistent that
they will not give them up; every army
and navy is being increased, and the ten
sion is growing so great that the merest
incident can set off the explosion.
But as we go into the new year and
pause to take stock of the situation, we do
not need to strain our eyes to find at least
a few indications that this inevitable"
war about which We have been hearing so
much may fail to materialize, after all.
A good case in point can be examined
in the record of 1885,
The year opened with the Italians thrust
ing deep into Ethiopia. We were assured
from all sides that this made clash be-
tween England and Italy almost certain.
Italy was trespassing on British preserve; |;
she was menacing the life of the empire,
she was tugging at'the lions tail in way
the lion would never tolerate. There was
just bound to be trouble.
But somehow there wasn't. Italy today
is pretty solidly established in Ethiopia
but the British empire seems as firm as
ever, the British preserve in north Africa
lis getting along all right, and relations be-
tween London and Rome actually are bet
ter than they were year ago. Foreign
dispatches now are talking of rap
prochement" between England and Italy
IA high-toned diplomatic word meaning
that the powers involved are going to stop
.quarreling and play ball with each other.
Then there was Spain. With the Com
munist bloc supporting one faction and the
Fascist bloc supporting the other, here was
!another starting point for that inevitable"
war. German and Italian planes flew over
Madrid, Russian ships brought Russian
munitions to the Spanish government, and
we got situation from which general
European war could develop overnight
Now the danger IN that spot isn't over
Syet, by any means; and yet there is at
aeast fair reason to hope that Europe will
get peace out of it, and not war. A show
hown is coming, and from it Europe may
Vet obtain a more secure base for peace
than it has had in a long time.
And the point of all this is that things
do have a way of working out solution
when, logically, they shouldn't. We aren't
koomed to chaos and destruction, in spite
Of the gloomy prophets. And we could
hardly commit greater folly than to as
sumo that war is inevitable when, as a
matter of fact, it is nothing Of the kind.

CULINARY Arr
SHOWN HERE
IN PLAY
BY JEAN GREEN

What might be a page from the
culinary diary Of a young bride is
dramatized in glorious fashion this
week at the Capitol Theater In a
technicolor short.
Prudence Penny, popular home
economics director Of the Los
Angeles Examiner, is the featured
player.
The story is about the Difficult
ties Of young wife who finds she
is forced to prepare dinner for her
husbands boss.
She is overanxious and ineXperi-
enced, and you will laugh at the
young lady as she goes through
one calamity after another. When
things look blacklist, she gets an
Inspiration. She calls Prudence
Penny.
Prudence to Rescue
Prudence responds and what
she does to a few vegetables and
meat is a revelation. She pre-
pares the meal in amazingly short
time and gives all sorts of hints
on new and clever ways to do
things. She demonstrates how to
make tomato part with its skin,
and how to make a glorious ice
cream dessert toasted golden
brown. But the rest you will
want TO- be sure to see for your
self.
You will find the attractive
kitchen a thing to envy and the
appearance Of the dinner as it
is finally served really will make
your mouth water.
The young housewife gains your
sympathy even as you laugh at
some Of her crazy ideas. When
she takes possession Of the kitchen
after the cook has walked out,
even the life Of the dog is in
danger.
She plans an elaborate dinner.
As she struggles to make the bis
cults, the roast chars black. Not
daunted, she dashes to the auto
