DIR. PARKER IS
CLUB SPEAKER
Tells Woman's Club Need
of Food Supply Factor
in World Unrest

. DIR. Willis Parker. for num-
Der of years professor of educa-
ton at Columbia university, New
York City, delivered one of the
most interesting lectures on IN
ternational relations before the
Woman's club Wednesday that
has been heard here for some
time.
DR.. Parker pointed out among
other things the density of popu-
lation existing among various
countries of the world and the
scarcity of an adequate food sup
ply. This. he said. is ono Of the
fundamental factors in the inter
national relations and one that
will constantly disturb WORLD
peace. He referred to a recent
statement by MuSSollni 10 the e.
feet that no country could have
Il democratic form Of government
unless it possessed an adequate
food supply. He further pointed
out that the present far eastern
situation was directly traccaDlc
to Japan'S inadequate food supply
for her teeming millions, and that
under these conditions many ma
tions lose sight of higher indivId-
ual aspirations and degenerate to
low levels.
DR.. Parker concluded his re-
marks by referring to the fact
that the distribution of popula-
ton, raw materials, and available
food supply was constantly dis
turbin" the relationship of ma
tionS.

.FRANCE.STEPS
Up FOOD YIELD
Colonial Project Is Making
Greatest Headway in
Caribbean
By PETER c. RHODES
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Feb. 4. (UP)--As part
Of Frances drive to make colonial
production suffice for all nation
al needs, the island Of Guadalupe
and the colony of French Guinea
now produce sufficient bananas
to fill home needs, it was reveal
ed by an official government
commission returning from the
Antilles.
Producers in the American col
onieS have drawn up a plan 10 IN
crease grapefruit and pineapple
production to fill the natlonai
needs as well.
The report stressed the great
progress made since the lorna
ton of producers co-operatiVe
for these two colonies, when
pooled interests and capital. rive
years ago, when the cooperative
was first formed, only 3 per cent
of French banana consumption
was filled by French coleman
plantations, the remaining re,
uuircments being largely filled
from Central America. Today, I'M
portation from non-French plan
tations has ceased completely.
TO USE OWN SHIPS
At a recent meeting OF the CO.
operative, attended by Gratien
Candace, Guadalupe deputy TO
the chamber on an official gov,
eminent mission, it was agreed
that the French Compagnle Cen
erale Transatlantique (Frencn
Line) should regulate its freight
calls to the island, thus elimlnat-
ing freighting in foreign vessels
A Government loan will be made
to provide proper storage taclii-
ties on the island, and credits eX-
tended to planters desiring to cul,
tivate new land for other troplcal
products required in France.
DEVELOPMENT of the Caribbean
colonies is only small part OF
the French plan to develop pro
excessively all colonies to PROVIDE
home requirements. Already IN,
do-China has largely fulfilled
Frances rice requirements, Al
peria and Morocco much of the
citrus fruit needs. Other AFRICAN
colonies are being studied with
view of swiftly developing food
and mineral production to meet
much of the mother country's re-
quirementS. ,,o
The ministry of colonies is in
tent on ending the epoch where
colonies were more of a drain on
| France than a commercial asset.
| Changes which began with the
world crisis, and the desire to
eliminate need for foreign devise
for purchases abroad are now
moving ahead swiftly.
Potential productive poSsioili-
ties for France are regarded so
highly that it is certain France
will resist any attempt to change
colonial territories. This is the
basis for the oft-repeated. argu-
ment that Germany was not aoic
to make it's colonise pay before
the war, that France has done so
now. and therefore the colonies
taken from Germany during the
war should not be returned TO-
day.
