Canada Hopes to Create
New Potato Varieties

FREDERICTON, N. B.-Disease-
free potatoes which would mean the
saving Of millions Of dollars in Can
ada are believed not to be far dis
tant, several promising strains hav-
ing been developed at the Dominion
experimental station here.
1.-THE present year will see further
expansion in the development of
potatoes resistant to mosaic and
other Diseases" said c. F. Bailey,
superintendent Of the station.
Promising seedlings have been de-
veloped and we hope to have enough
seed to send out to experimental sta
tons in other parts of Canada"
The new varieties of potatoes
which have been developed by the
Dominion plant pathological labora-
tory, working in conjunction with
the experimental station, will be
tested exclusively before there is
any distribution.
1t was said that it will be two or
three years before 1t is possible to
complete tests and development and
recommend variety to Canadian
growers.

DANGER AHEAD

Munitions trade or no munitions trade there are
serious days ahead for American businessmen and
this nation At first thought, the prospect of in
creased trade because of Europes war promises only
more jobs for our workers and greater profits for
American business They, in turn, seem to spell
wave OF prosperity. That is the rosy point of view
With chief competitors for world trade tenn
porarily eliminated by war, the United States GER
tainly has new and greatly broadened opportunities
However there are serious pitfalls to be avoided in
accepting them.
In the first place, our munitions trade if it is to
expand at all, can have only temporary growth.
Various experts have estimated that makers
now are producing only enough munitions to supply
this country's comparatively paltry demand New
plants, more employees and machinery will be needed
to supply other countries. That means boom, but
one which necessarily will end with the war; Over
expansion in this field inevitably will cause shock
to our entire industrial set-up at the wars end
Further, any sembance of "cash and carry"
basis for foreign trade likely to bring about
crisis If the war is to be long, drawnout affair.
Sooner or later the nations now able to buy from
will feel the pinch of the wars COST If credit then
is not offered them, what is to happen to our boom
ing industry?
Even the bright hope for capturing Latin Ameri-
can trade is somewhat concluded Many Central and
South American countries rely for funds upon their
export trade with Europe. For example, Argentina
shipped much of her beef to Germany and England,
and Ches nitrates have been sold to both the war
ring factions Those markets, to great extent, now
shut off. Thus our Southern neighbors may have
trouble paying for imports from this country.
That our industry is well aware of the dangers
of overeKpansion and the uncertainty of any pros
pectve boom is shown by the cautious statements of
these organizations realize that this is not merely
grand opportunity for profit grabbing They are
planning already against postwar business defla-
ton The people, too must realize that prosperity
still is "around the corner and that we may meet
many perils trying to round that curve during the
coming months.

SAFETY WEEK

AS announced on the news pages Of this issue of
this paper next week is to be dedicated to cam
paign of safety streets and highways throughout
Maryland. committee organized by Governor
OConor and other State officials has been studying
for weeks the problem of how to reduce the appalling
number of traffic fatalities Maryland roads.
The first act of that committee was to ask that
the first days of October be observed Traffic
Safety Week, and the Governor made the request
official by proclamation. Purpose of the observance
is to make the entire State safety conscious"
October was chosen because that month has proven
to be the worst of the year with respect to traffic
Deaths In October, 1885, 43 persons lost their lives
State roads,
This discovery is doubly significant in view of the
fact that October is the first full school month Then
than must drivers be alert to avoid young
sters running into the streets in chase of rolling
ball weaving back and forth across the highways
bicycles. These things happen despite the traffic
education programs Of schools and the audable
efforts of schoolboy patrols.
The cooperation and vigilance of every motorist
and pedestrian, young and DID, is needed to put
any safety campaign The Safety Committee and its
county organizations deserve such cooperation Get
into the habit of giving it to them next week and it
should be easy to keep that habit. Then Maryland's
traffic deaths will surely decline.

Unseen Factors InUolUed
Is Our Present Concern

But while the discussion on the
so-called neutrality question is inn
portant, although the question in my
opinion is simply whether we will
open the gates for the export Of
anything we can sell. I am quite
convinced our concern should be
about the underlying and, at pres
ent, unseen factors now involved. It
Is said that we are extending pas
sive aid to Hitler by refusing to al
low the British and the French to
come here for thousands of planes
and millions Of odds and ends disable
in war. It is said, too, that unless
we extend help to the British and
the French, our nation eventually
must face the onrushing tide of to-
talitarism and dictatorship. 1t can
be, and is being, said that unless
the arms embargo Is lifted, we will
have to 60 in ourselves sooner than
otherwise would happen.
All Of these things can be said
and are being said with reference

Divorce Pleads
With Governor to
Decide Her Name
Wants to Marry Again and
Finds Two Names Are
Embarrassing.

HOLLYWOOD.-Nancy Pierson
Brooks Macy Brill, who says she is
known by two names in two states
and finds it ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the help of Governor gilbert L. Oh
son to settle things so she can marry
again.
For two years she said she has
been known in California as Mrs.
Macy and as Mrs. Brill in Nevada
and elsewhere. So she is asking
Governor Olson for help in deter
mining to whom she is married and
what her legal name is. She has
petitioned for action on an appeal
from the annulment which William
Hunsaker Brill III, wealthy young
sportsman, obtained of their Yuma
marriage nearly two years ago. The
appeal has been in the courts for
more than IS months.
She Got a Divorce.
Mrs. Brill in 1884 married Henry
Macy III, scion of the New York
department store family. The fol-
lowing year she went to Reno, New,
established residence and obtained
q divorce from Macy who did not
contest the decree, but who had an
attorney present to insure its valid
ity.
In March, 1887, after a whirlwind
courtship, Mrs. Brill married Brill.
Shortly after the marriage Brill
fled suit for annulment of the mar
riage on the dual grounds that he
was intoxicated at the time the
ceremony was performed and that
Mrs. BrilPs divorce from her pre-
vious husband was invalid.
Judge Edward Henderson, after
having the case under advisement
for several months, granted Brill the
annulment on the grounds that Mrs.
Brill had not been a bona f1de resi-
dent Of Nevada at the time she di-
vorced Macy.
Court Takes No Action.
Mrs. Brill said her attorneys then
fled an appeal with the state su-
preme court challenging the right of
q California Judge to rule on the
validity Of her Reno divorce. Mrs.
Brill continued:
There has been no action on my
case since then, and ] want to
know who am.
1T is very embarrassing and hui
initiating not to know my own name.
Some people call me Mrs. Macy and
others call me Mrs. Brill and don't
know which name to use or how
% get out Of this difficulty."

WASHINGTON. = With congress
reassembled in special session for
discussion Of, and action on, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request for modi-
fication Of our so-called neutrality
policy, the time appears to have
come when citizens Of the United
States must examine the facts Of the
international situation. Whether we
like 1t or not, we can hardly ignore
those facts any longer. 1t IS Eu-
ropes mess, but that mess is hav-
ing an influence here and will have
more influence on our national view
point. A decision must be taken,
soon. 1t may thus be that the pres
ent extraordinary session Of con-
gress will turn out to be an his
toric meeting.
Mr.. Roosevelt has requested re-
peal Of the section of the present
law that prohibits export Of arms,
airplanes and some other imple-
ments of war to all nations engaged
in declared hostilities. 1t will be
remembered that he made the same
request in the last session, but the
senate committee on foreign rela-
tions said, by its action few days
before adjournment, that it would
have none Of the plan. Conditions
have changed since that time, how
ever, and the President is now in
sisting upon repeal of the contro-
versial section and the substitution;
in its place he is asking for legis-
lation that will permit any and all
foreigners to come here and buy the
enlarged war munitions If they
pay cash for them and take them
away in their own ships.
That, succinctly, is the crux Of
the modification which Mr.. Roose-
welt seeks. He has plenty of support
for his theory. And there is plenty
Of opposition, too. Some of the iso-
lationists-men who fought Woodrow
Wilson and his League of Nations
plan-men like Senator Borah Of
Idaho and Senator Johnson Of Cali
fornia-are still in the senate. Their
numbers have been augmented by
fighters Of the type of Senator Ben
nett Clark Of Missouri, and Senator
Nye Of North Dakota, and Senator
Vandenberg Of Michigan. I think
the vote will not be taken at once,
in view of the promised discussion.
And 1t probably is well that there
will be much debate, for the country
will learn more about the two sides
to the question.

War Really Between Two Groups

Time Has Come When Citizens of United States Mus
Examine Facts of International Situation; Debates
In Congress Should Be EnGghtening.

to both sides of the line of fire in
Europe, but none of the argument
has changed my conclusion which
has been reached after talking with
scores Of people who are in a posi-
ton to know the facts abroad. My
conclusion remains, and is going to
continue to be, that it is Europe's
war. I add to that the further
thought that our energies should be
directed to maintaining peace in
North and South America, south Of
the Canadian boundary.
Now, there are those who say
and they are numerous-that repeal
of the arms embargo will result in
revival of business in the United
States, as, indeed, it already has
started. A business revival would
be swell. Nobody doubts that. But
the things like planes and powder
that go abroad have to leave our
shores. 1t strikes me that sale of
anything, whether planes or powder
or wheat or cotton and corn, is
likely to bring the war much closer
to our shores. 1t makes me believe
that we would be better off if we
sold nothing at all. That is, why not
modify the policy by placing an
embargo on everything that goes to
the warning nations and let them
fight it out.

Boldest Propaganda NoD
Is Flooding the Country

In the meantime and as the fight
ing progresses in Europe, we in
America are being flooded with the
boldest and the baldest propaganda
that can be conceived. From Ber-
lin and other points under Hitler
domination, we are being fed So
called news that is as putrid as
politics used to be under Fender
CAST in Kansas City or Penrose in
Pennsylvania. 1t is amazing that
any one believes it.
From British and French sources,
and from their sympathizers in
this country, comes news" that is
censored and controlled and in
spired. 1t tells only the things that
the French and the British would
have us believe. We know just as
little about the real underlying facts
of the controversy from them as we
do from the Germans. 1t is well to
remember that we never have
known what kind of an agreement
was reached at the Munich confer
ence in September of last year. We
have absolutely no knowledge of
what kind of sellout was arranged
between Hitler and Stain. Nor do
we know what has happened in
solar as Mussolini is concerned.
More important than any of these
things, however, are conditions
within the United States. I would
like to see our congress use some
brains and take action that will get
us out Of the depths of nine-year
depression. It Is quite evident that
all Of the theories that have been
tried still remain theories. l am
among those who fear that entry
into another world war will mark
the end Of our form Of govern.
ment here unless our home condi.
tons are far better than at present.
It seems to me to be more inpor.
tant to solve our troubles rather
than those of Europe.

Utterly Selfish Notifies
Behind the War in Europe

To begin with, there is no moral
issue in this war. No one ought to
let themselves be kidded about that.
The war in Europe right now is a
battle between two groups of people
with utterly selfish motives. Hitler
and his gang have determined to
regain that which the British took
away from the German people in
the World war of 1914-1918, and the
British and the French are deter.
mined not to let him accomplish it.
Hitler calls it justice; Chamberlain
and Daladier call it brigandage.
Back in 1919, when the Treaty Of
Versailles was written, the Germans
shouted brigands and other epithets
as the French and the British over
ruled Woodrow Wilson and took
what they wanted. Not only did the
winners in that war, excepting the
United States, take what they want
ed, but they parceled out other parts
Of the German empire.
Where did the United States finish
in that war? 1t helped win a war
to make the world safe for democ-
racy, which turned out to be a
sham. And it was left holding the
bag. 1t still is holding the bag, be-
cause little of the eleven billion dol
lars loaned to the allied powers ever
has been repaid. Only little Fin
land has kept her promise to pay
back the loans.
Stripped Of all of its jungle Of
words, therefore, the question thus
seems to shape itself. We have
nothing to gain, so why not make
over our neutrality into the policy
Of an isolationist? Why not stay
out by keeping our stuff here at
home? know / will be rebuked by
those who say we cannot afford to
close down factories and let cotton
and wheat and corn remain unsold.
Notwithstanding all Of this, there
surely Is ground for belief that 1t
would be cheaper in the end, cheaper
In money, If you want to deal only
in the materialistic side and cheaper
in blood, because it may come to
that.

~cean Patrol Called ~
Some a Dangerous Step

There are a good many people
who believe that the President has
taken potentially dangerous step
in ordering what is called an ocean
patrol while hostilities are on. He
has placed ships of the American
navy as far as 200 miles at sea,
as he explained, that they may OBJ
tain information as to what is going
on out there. The patrol looks like
an invitation to some German u
boat to take shot at one of our
ships. OF course, they would not do
so deliberately; they would mis-
take" United States ship for one
Of the enemy, or that would be their
excuse. And would we be in a
ditherl There would be cries for
a declaration of war that would
rock the dome Of the Capitol
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the patrol
program amounted to a steel warn
ing to the belligerents to stay on
their side of the railroad tracks, or
words to that effect. Those who
dislike the plan say, however, that
we, as a nation, cannot lay claim
to the sea as our very own beyond
q minimum distance from tide fall.
To get back to the neutrality pol
icy, as it is called, I have found
many persons who have difficulty in
reconciling Mr.. Roosevelt's present
request of congress with his action
respecting enforcement of the provi-
sions in the three-year-old war Of
the Japanese in China. The law
gives the President discretionary
power in proclaiming its operation,
except that it becomes effective al
most automatically where there has
been declaration of war by for
eign power.

lot of people in this area wondered if prices of
food throughout the country during the last few

"yes." survey of widespread, representative locali
ties showed average boosts of 1872 cents per 10
pounds of sugar. 81 cents per "a pounds of flour and

However, grocers questioned blamed most of the
