allowances to this purpose. Germany,
although making no budget public, Is
believed to have applied similar pro-
portions.
France TUNED some thirty per cent
Of its funds to national defense, while
Great Britain and the Soviet Union
allotted twenty per cent each to mill
tary and naval needs. For the same
period, the United States earmarked
slightly under one billion dollars, or
about twelve per cent of the total budget,
for national defense. =
Sadly, it is noted that all of these
proportions have increased rapidly in
the past five years after a period of
exhaustion and thorough revulsion
against war during the l92O's.
One saving grace, inadequate though
it may be, may be found in increased
armament expenditures, namely, the
stimulation which such activity neces-
sarily brings to the heavy industries
and the consequent increased employ
ment. Many economists believe that the
measure of better economic conditions
in Europe as compared to those in
America bears direct relationship to the
vastly greater armaments activity al
ready under way on that continent.
Ironically an extended naval building
program here may be the pump printing
device which will halt the current slack
ening in industry: blessing, even If q
costly one.

Hospital patients because property val

reopening.
As Methodist should like to inquire
the date in the history of the Methodist
Church that property values" have
taken precedence over humanitarian

Tips FOR FUR BUYERS

Fair Trade Practice Rules for the
fur industry have recently been
promulgated by the Federal Trade
Commission, reports the Consumers
Guide, publication of the Consumers
Counsel Division of AAA.
Designed in the public interest
originally to protect fur dealers from
the unfair trade practices of other
fur dealers, these rules as finally
formulated are a big step toward a
Be = Fair : to : Fur-C Consumers move
ment," says the Guide.
Striking first at the shabbiest of
unfair practices, the rules forbid the
misrepresentation of the grade, quail
ity o. kind of fur, by advertisements
or labels. But misrepresentation can
be achieved through an omission of
a relevant statement as well as by
a downright lie. The commission
forbids both kinds of receptions.
Branding a fur with some coined
name without explaining at the same
time just what kind of fur it actual
ly is, is forbidden.
Making up a fur name, like
'sealine,' and then advertising it as
the skin of a 'sealine' is forbidden.
No fur, the commission says, may be
advertised as the skin of a nom
existent animal.
"Romanticizing the fur of a do
nestle animal by calling it the fur
of a foreign animal is not permitted,
nor may dealers misrepresent the
geographic origin of their furs. Few
people have the economic strength
even to ask to look at a genuine i'm
ported Russian sable, but if they do,
then the fur which the dealer brings
out to show them must actually be
a sable trapped in the Soviet Union.
eff furs are tipped, blended, point
ed, or dyed, this fact must be dis
closed in the advertisements and on
the labels. If a fur is made of pieces,
tails, paws, and fur odds and ends,
this fact must be disclosed on the
label. And finally, if the fur is made
from secondhand, worn, or used
furs, or if the garment is second
hand, worn, or used, the advertise
ments and label must tell consumers
so.
Nor do the rules permit lip serv-
ice to ethical practices or sleight-of-
hand evasion. Everyone at some
time or other has seen advertise
ments which announced a sale on
Northern Seal coats in letters large
enough to have proclaimed the
Armistice, with an asterisk referring
to a line in fine print at the bottom
of the page reading Dyed Rabbit
Under rule IL of the Fur Trade Prac-
tice Rules this is forbidden.
Correctly labeled furs under
these provisions must contain the
true name of the fur and if it is
Montana labor news., 1938-12-22

dyed, or blended, this fact too. For
example, a rabbit which is dyed to
resemble seal must be labeled, Seal
dyed Rabbit Hudson seal coats to-
day under the same order must be
labeled 'Seal-dyed Muskrat' which
means, of course, that muskrat has
been dyed to simulate seal. 'Coney,'
meaning rabbit, may possibly be
used if the seller can and will sell
it without deceiving or misleading
the purchaser.
Genuine, as a descriptive word in
an advertisement or on a label, has
its place, the commission believes,
but not to describe an imitation fur,
even though the imitation fur is cor
rectly named. For example, Mink
dyed Marmot is the skin of a Eura-
sion prairie dog dyed to simulate
mink. Called Mink-dyed Marmot'
it is correctly named. But, the COM
mission says, it is an unfair trade
practice to put genuine in front of
the name to make it read Genuine
Mink-dyed Marmot.' To unwary
consumers, the commission reasons,
this use of genuine is misleading.
az can get it for you wholesale,
often has been a come-on to I'M
informed consumers. The commits
sion has put a prohibiting foot down
on retail furriers who falsely pur-
port to sell wholesale, on retailers
who pretend to be but r not manu-
featuring furriers, and, in fact, on
any dealer in furs who says that he
is something he is not.
Federal Trade Commission
frowns, under the regulations, are
also reserved for dealers who adj
vertise free repairs or storage with
a garment, when actually the cost
of this service is included in the
price. Fake sale of samples of
showroom models, n OF hollywood
models, and bankruptcy sales come
under the ETC ban. Finally, among
the bans that protect consumers,
there is the one which forbids mark
ing down fur garments from ficti-
tious prices. When fur dealers adj
vertise fur coats in the future as
markdowns from $3.50, they must
actually be markdowns from $780,"
How meticulously these rules will
be observed cannot be told in adj
vance. "a good practice for fur
purchasers who want to be on the
safe side is to buy from reputable
merchants who play the game fair"

Germany Notifies Britain She Will Bring Sea
 Power 10 Parity

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-Germany's news agency declared today that the hope for improved relations be- tween the United States and Ger many lacks every foundation" so long as the Washington State De- - partment defends" Secretary Har- old L. Ickes.
 The statement issued by the news agency, considered in some quar- ters at Hitler's answer to Washing ton, asserted:
 The Reply
 Minister of the Interior for the United States, Harold L. Ickes, de- livered a speech before the Zionist Society in Cleveland shortly before Christmas in which, in com sction with thrusts at the Third 3eich, he attacked its leadership in an unwarrantable manner. The Ger man Charge d'Affaires in Wash ington presented the sharpest pro- test on account of these attacks. The American Vice Foreign Minis ter and the American Foreign of flee however did not, as is self evident follow the procedure ac- cepted in matters of this kind in international relations, dissociate itself from utterances of the Am erican Minister of the Interior, but tried to defend them. It must there fore ,ye stated that as long as such procedure, which obviously serves the Jewish interests and leaves out of account the real German American interests, continues in the conduct of relations between Germany and the United States, Germany hope expressed to the American Foreign office for i'm provament in mutual relationships l lac every foundation"
 Notification to British Germany today also notified Great Britain of her intention to carry cut certain rights" granted her under naval pacts by which German sea power is limited in pro- portion with that of the British Empire. Officials declined to state just what action the Nazi regime proposes to take regarding ita navy.
 It is understood that Germany intends to build up to parity with Great Britain its submarines. Rep resentatives of the British Admir- alty said the 1885 British German naval treaty recognizes Germany's right to partly but Germany agreed not to exceed forty-five percent of Britain's submarine tonnage.

PARIS, Dec. 30.-Conflict between Syrian agitation for immediate in dependence and French determine tion to retain her naval and mill- tary foothold in Syria has added to Frances colonial difficulties.
 Reports reaching Paris said the syrian Independent Nationalist Party had sent an ultimatum to the Syrian Premier demanding immed- fate freedom of French rule.

MAY ADD LOCAL COLOR

Joe may insert few knowing re- marks on what he will ask the goy- ernment to do about codling moths, and then shove the whole thing into the Congressional Record where it will be labeled as a speech made by him in the House. Actually no part of it ever is spoken in the House. But when it is thus printed he can have extra copies made and sent without cost to a large number of his constituents.
 For more earnest congressman who like to do their own research, the library will send over a stack of books and pamphlets. But a lot of congressional energy is wasted by personal research when a staff of experts in the library would take over the task at a nod. Gloofus will learn about that.
 On Washington's birthday his constituents may discover their new representative has made con- plete study of Washington's opposi- tion to foreign entanglements.
 Or he may speak learnedly or women's rights and what the state legislatures have done for veter- ans. At the wink of an eye he car become an expert on anything from termite damage in Federal building
