No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Circumcision. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford

less poIent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal

Even If other remedies have failed.

Agriculture

Each winter a new crop of agri-
cultural ax-grinders appears in
congress. Not to aid this years
crop, but because the law requires
it, Secretary Henry A. Wallace's
farm experts have just released sa-
lient information on 1888 production.
Facts and figures, with background
from 1888:
Taking total farm production from
1928 to 1882 as 100 per cent, sue
ceeding years have seen the aggre-
gate slump to 1872 per cent during
1885 drouth and cotton-plowing;
drop again to 71.6 per cent in
parched 1884; zoom to 94.6 per cent
in 1895; sink to 1915 in 1885; sky
rocket to 113 in 1887. But in 1888,
though acreage was 3.5 per cent be-
low the 10-year acreage, lush Moth
er Nature came through with crop
of 104.8 per cent. Samples for 1888:

Thus, though the total went down,
wheat went up. Meanwhile prices
on everything went down and for
eign nations became more self
sufficient than ever. Three-fifths of
u. S. senators and congressman
know their farmer constituents have
an acute problem, as does Secre-
tary Wallace. But while congress

Secretary Wallace hopes congress
will give AAA another chance.
Critics of AAA maintain that re-
cent referenda on marketing quo

Mr.. Wallace's program a rebuff,
but the secretary thinks otherwise.
While rice and tobacco growers
turned thumbs down, cotton produc-
ers accepted what he calls "the

Last autumn Ch1na'S GeneralSSl-
mo Chang Kai-shek picked up his
coat tails and fled to the interior,
looking little more important than
one of his unframed, unkempt sol
diers. With Japan pressing him
hard, the smart, benevolent dictator
set up headquarters at Chungking.
Western democracies, watching ia
pan close China's "open door,"
thought Kai-shek was as futile
hope as their once-prosperous trade
with the Orient.
But during December both fhe
U. S. and Great Britain made a
surprising turnabout, granting Chi
ma huge loans to develop her west
ern provinces. At first it looked
like democracies were merely APP
plying clever squeeze play against
China, but late developments prove
that Chang Kai-shek-not the U. S.
or Britain-did the squeezing.
The well-confrmed report: That
Kai-shek called both U. S. Ambas-
sador Nelson T. johnson and Brit
ish Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr to his Chungking stronghold,
telling them bluntly that democra-
cies could choose between (D CIV

Periodically since the Munich

while parliament voted on a motion
of non-confidence. Each time he
has won, yet each time the opposi-

powerful enough to threaten Mr..
Chamberlain's personal position, his
foes have found two definite points
of vulnerability on which the prime

Mr.. Chamberlain has believed that

Spain


Last December 9, Rebel General
issimo Francisco Franco planned to
start a whirlwind offensive in the
Lerida area. Suddenly two sets of
plans were missing, one struggled
across to Loyalist officers by colo
mel. Later British vice consul
was found carrying more war plans
in his brief case, though he was ex-
onerated of responsibility. In the
end General Franco stopped his war
temporarily, arrested 300 plotters
and decided his position was not
so favorable as he might well de-
sire.
Chief reason for Rebel dissention
is the presence of Italian fighters
along Franco frontiers, but to re-
move Premier Mussolini's troops
would cost the army considerable
strength. Nor can the general blink
at huge espionage activities, which
mean that Rebel territory is heav-
lily populated with Loyalist sympa-
thiZers. Thus General Franco will
probably delay his long-awaited Of
fensive, to strengthen the moral po-
sition at home. Meanwhile, Loyal
list Spain will be able to relax and
recuperate, Strengthening it's own
forces through the delay.
This situation looms important in
the light of Great Britain's plan to
grant General Franco belligerent
rights. With Loyalist hopes much
brighter, it would be foolish for Lon
don to make this concession to win
the friendship of Italy. Moreover,
since the U. S. Red Cross plans to
distribute wheat freely to both sides
in the Spanish conflict, Great Brit
ain might thus find herself at
swords-ends with Washington.

cy. Either forgetting this stipula-
ton or hoping to scare the new con-
gress into immediate action, Acting
WPA Administrator Aubrey Will
liams now warns that WPA must
shut down February Z unless legis-
1ators gallop to the rescue with adj
ditional funds.
How fast congress will gallop is
another matter. Though President
Roosevelt predicted last July that a
$500, 1000, 900 deficiency appropriation
would carry WPA from March to
the end of this fiscal year (June 3O),
he has now announced through Sem
ate Majority Leader Alben w. Bark
ley that an additional $500, 100000
will be needed. The anticipated sit
uation: G.. o. P. and independent
Democrat legislators will fight for
a thorough investigation of WPA
''graft" and politics" and will
probably be reluctant to make a
new appropriation until their Curl
osity is satisfied. But whether this
reluctance will be displayed over
the $500, 100000 deficiency fund or
next years regular relief appropri-
alton is anybody's guess.
Loudest protest has come from
John L. Lewis, president of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations.
Demanding that congress appropri-
ate not 5000, 100000 but 81 ,000, 900, 900
for immediate deficiency needs, he
demands ''no cuts" in relief rolls
until private business can absorb the
unemployment slack. The Lewis
prognostication: "Unless action is
taken within the first week of Janu-
airy, 5000, 900 American workers and
at least 10000, 900 human beings who
depend on them will face disaster"

japanese government has invited the
United States, French and British
ambassadors to the foreign office to-
morrow to receive "an important
statement" It's nature was not known
but some quarters reported that For
eign Minister Arita would detail the
status of negotiations with Italy and
Germany toward Strengthening the
anti-comintern record.
Arita was expected to assure the
ENJOYS that any changes would not
affect the democracies, and that
Soviet Russia was the pivot of the
entire situation.
1t was understood that the foreign
minister would announce some re-
taxation of restrictions on foreign
trade in China. 1t was believed that
a general improvement of conditions
in China had made possible removal
of some structures, but the details
were not known.
The three powers have protested
against alleged discrimination against
them, and the Japanese have replied
that restrictive measures were mil
