Germans Seek
Barter With
u. S. Farmers

Washington, Feb. 13.-(AP)-Ger-
man sources said today negotiations
were under way for extensive barter
deals between Germany and mid
west organizations of farmers and
packers.
Under such deals, which official
American sources said could be hand
led by on-governmental agencies
without any special permit, the farm
ers and packers might exchange their
agricultural goods for German manu-
facturered articles. The negotiations
began, German sources said, when
representatives of cooperative farm
organizations asked the German COM
mercial attache in Chicago whether
q pure barter arrangement could be
effected.
Shortly thereafter the cooperative
representatives. were said to have
come to Washington to see DR.. Will
helm Tannenberg, first secretary of
the German Embassy. Tannenberg
and the attache in Chicago told
them, it was said Germany would be
glad to enter into barter arrange
ments for lard and wheat, taking sew

London, Feb 49, (AP) Prime
Minister Chamberlain limited TODAY
before the House of Commons at early
British and French recognition of the
lnsurgent regime in Spain, but said no
decision had been made yet.
The prime minister said that with
the situation changing rapidly it was.
impossible for him to give assurance
the British government did not con-
template recognizing insurgent au-
thoritles' as the de facto or de jure
government of Spain. A de facto gov
eminent is one actually functioning,
although not set up permanently or
not yet recognized. A de jure govern
ment is legal regime.
II may say, however" Chamber
lain added, "that His Majesty's gov
eminent, who are in close touch with
the French government, have taken
no decision as yet in the matter"
Arthur Henderson, a Laborite, had
asked assurance that recognition was
not contemplated.
1T would obviously be impossible
for me to give such assurance in a
situation which is changing very
rapidly" Chamberlain said.
Answering another question by Hen
derson, whether Commons would be
consulted before any such funda-
mental change in policy is taken" the
prime minister said, amid ministerial
cheers, "the government must take
the responsibility"

State Would Ship

Counties In State
ABC Board Would
Saturate Sections OPP
posed to Lieu or
Stores, Under Bill
Ready for Legisla-
ture; Huge Revenue
Return Is Expected

Raleigh, Feb. 13.-(AP)-A Bill to
provide for mail order shipments of
liquor into dry counties by the State
Board of Alcoholic Control will be
introduced in the Senate tonight, SEN
ator Umstead, of Orange, said today.
Senator Umstead had the measure
preparing a few pages and said he
expected several other members of
the upper division to join him in
sponsoring it.
This is control BILL" said the
senator, land I mean that. We have
statistics based on federal records,
which show that hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars worth of legal liquor
is being shipped to bootleggers in dry
counties. This bill provides up to ten
percent of the States profit for use
in Statewide enforcement of dry laws.
We plan real enforcement in counties
that vote dry but have big boot eg
sales. We also want enforcement in
the counties that will not vote on it.
The present ABC law provides only
for enforcement in the counties with
liquor stores"
The State ABC board would be en-
powered to operate warehouses Tor
the shipment of liquor. No person
under 81 years of age could buy any,
and ali would have to be ordered by
mail and delivered by common car
rier. Blanks for the orders would be
supplied by the State ABC board
and the applicant would be required
under law to state that he or she is
over 81 years of age, and has not re-
ceived AS much as a gallon of whis-
ky during the month in which the
order is fl ed. All shipments would
be one gallon or less.
During discussion of the bill by
group of legislators, estim ates of the
revenue it would give the State va
ried all the way from $1,000,O00 to
100000 a, year, based on belief that
the State cou sell by mail order
where bootleggers get the business
now.
