exporting nations of the wo crop curtailment.
 This is behind the recent Wal lace announcement for an ever- normal international granary for wheat. This means that Canada, Argentina, Australia, Hungary, Russia and Jugoslavia must be sold on the New Deal idea of stor- ing their wheat surpluses when they have them.
 Even more difficult, it means selling these six countries on the New Deal curtailment plan which U. s. farmers have known since 1883 and which economists of the world have watched with mixed amazement and doubt.
 The ceremonial granary and production control go hand in hand. No country can be expect ed to hold its surplus off the market if the next crop and the next after that continue to add to the surplus. There must be con- trol at the source or the whole thing breaks down.
 So Wallace is out to sell to the world the agricultural economy which in five years he has sold to the United States. does not expect all six customers to buy at the first offer. Ar gentina is not even present at the international wheat confer- ence in London today. She pulled out after export quotas were imposed in 1883, and has been sulking on the sidelines ever since. But there will be other conferences.
 Australia is likely to be Wal lace's first convert, with Russia and Canada following if Can- ada has the big crop now indi- cated. If Argentina does not get over her sulk, she may be brought in by the scruff of the neck. Great Britain. Argentinas best market, can make her behave.
 Wallace's most effective ally, however, will be Mother Nature. If she continues to lavish sun and rain upon the wheat fields of the world and turn out crops of four billion bushels, any joint &C., ton to stabilize prices will be welcome.
 Muss0lini and Hopkins
 Harry Hopkins attended din- nire party at the Italian embassy the other day, and when somebody asked a question about the relief problem in Italy, he said:
 "Everybody's on relief in Italy. They've got relief projects all over the place - roads, schools, everything. The government runs the show for fair"
 Then he added wryly, And the nice part about it is they don't ket kicked all over the lot for doing it."
 Immigrants Eenemy
 Among his colleagues on Capi- tol Hill, Senator Reynolds of North good nature and frank grand standing. But to some 4,500 aliens the debonair North Carolinian is a grim Nemesis.
 For four years he has waged a one-man filibuster against legis- lation that would relieve them and their American wives and Ameri- can-born children of the dread menace of deportation.
 These are the Immigration Bureaus so-called hardship" cases. That is, while deportabIe because of some technical viola ton of the strict entry laws, they are decent, law-abiding heads of families who would suffer if they were evicted. Of the 4,500 total, 1900 are Euro peans, 900 Canadians and the remainder from Mexico.
 The Labor Department has re- peatedly sought to amend the existing laws so as to strengthen it's hand to get rid of undesirable aliens who entered legally, and to give it discretion regarding those who entered illegally. The President has approved, other alien foes in Congress have been. won over, the House has passed a bill and the Senate Immigration com- mittee has okayed it. But Our Bob" has steadfastly blocked the way to its enactment into law.
 Reynolds frankly admits that 1t is matter of politics with him. Returning to the Senate after his 2-to-1 renomination victory early in June, he exuberantly coun- seled Senator Milford" Tydings, who faces a desperate fight in Maryland: "Lay off issues, Fillard, and talk about the alien within our gates. That's the stuff that gets them"

 But while Reynolds, in the clos ing hours of the recent session, again harpooned a House-passed
