THE SHORT CUT

The Senate bill to require Federal
licensing of corporations is in favor
with the Administration, as a sub
stitute for more monopoly laws that
are hard to contrive, and hard to
pass. So the President suggests to
Congress that it should speed up the
licensing law.
Big business will walk the crack
when this law goes through. and its
rules and regulations are made by
left-wing officials.

fall out, giving the foliage ragged
appearance. The fruit on the diseas-

and falls soon after the leaf symp-
toms appear. In other cases, where
the fruit does remain on The bran

INSURANCE HEAD PROTESTS
USE OF ROCK ISLAND LINE
BY DELEGATES

CHICAGO, Jan. 10 (ANP)-In a
letter sent last week to C. l..
Townes, secretary of the National
Negro Insurance association, re-
garding the annual insurance con-
vention to be held next summer in
Los Angeles, Harry H. Pace, presi-
dent of the Supreme Liberty Life
Insurance company, advis d
against the use of the Rock Island
railroad by any person expecting
to attend the convention.
In his communication Mr.. Pace
says, II think it is important that
we. do not use the Rock Island
Lines in any way whatsoever and
that we let the Rock Island people
know the reason why we do not
use them. You will recall that it
was the Rock Island railroad that
jim-crowed Congressman Mitchell
on his way to Hot Springs from
Chicago, and they fought this case
very bitterly before the Interstate
Commerce commission, resulting in
the handing down of a decision
which establishes the principle of
jim-crow on railroads."

Soviet Union Insists
On Baltic Guarantees

MOSCOW, June 8 R.-Soviet
Russia received with intense inter-
est last night Britain's decision to
send special envoy to Moscow for
direct mutual aid pact negotiations,
but held to the view that Britain
and France should guarantee the
Baltic states whether those coun-
tries like it or not.
In the absence of official COM
ment, foreign observers speculated
on how the Soviet government
would receive Britains decision to
send civil servant here as a con-
cession to Soviet prestige.
The point has been made fire.
quently in the Soviet press in past
months that Prime Minister Cham
berlain himself did not hesitate to
go to Godesberg, Berchtesgaden and
Munich when direct negotiations
with Chancellor Hitler seemed vital.
The attitude here is that Moscow
is just as important as Berchtes-
gaden.
The Soviet view also is that Mr..
Chamberlain has been attaching too
much importance to reluctance of
the Baltic states-Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia-to accept guarantees
such as the Western powers have
made to Poland, Rumania, Turkey
and Greece.
1t is pointed out that under long
standing guarantees Britain would
resist any threat to Belgian inde-
pendence whether Belgium liked it
or not.
