BERLIN, Nov. Germany is
in bad straits from its cutoff of
shipping trade but food shortage
is not Immediately threatened in
Germany as the Nazis have piled
up a tremendous reserve in food
stuffs, which may last them
years.
Fifty percent of its foreign
trade has been lost because of the
English blockade. This includes
both imports and exports. Many
German factories have been shut
down because Germany's balance
of trade is thus shut off. Again,
there are about 100000 factory
workers who are now in the army.
Domestic German retail trade is
off so percent.
Its food reserves are very high
and may keep the nation going
for months and years.
Important fats which Germany
needs are shut off to her. Her
whaling fleet. which operates in
Arctic waters, is afraid to go out
because of the blockade. One
hundred thousand tons of whale
meat is annually brought in by
this fleet.

House Administration represen-

to pass the revised neutrality bill
calling for arms embargo repeal.
Isolationists are still making a
fight for their aims.
The revised bill, which has al
ready been prepared in the form
of a joint resolution by both hous-
es, may not pass the House if
present motions go through.
Isolationists are calling for va
rious motions and amendments
which would save the arms en-
barge or part of it, One motion
would have an embargo kept on
arms and ammunition but none
on other means of warfare, which
would permit shipments of badly
wanted airplanes to English and
French governments. Another
amendment would not permit the
U. S. government to lend any
money to the Allied governments.
Speaker of the House William
B. Bankhead will make a rare
talk today. Mr.. Bankhead rarely
addresses the house except in
cases of importance.

MOSQUITOES MUST CO. sLo.
GAN AS BOTH AGENCIES
PLAN TO PUSH PROJECTS
IN CITY

Members of the Monroe County
Planning Council are creating a
great deal of interest in the Mos
quito Control project and feel
that they will be able to accom-
plish much in the eradication OF

1t is planned by the council TO
have captains in every section of
the city who will point out and
assist in many ways in getting
rid of the countless receptacleS
now evident everywhere and
which are breeding places for the
mosquitoes.
Council members are certain
that when the movement has
gotten underway and people of
the city are awakened to the
realization of what the complete
eradication means to the city
and those who dwell here and
those who are to come for the
winter. there will be evidences of
the willingness of citizens to
heartily join with the W.P.A-
Then the breeding places will
soon be abolished.
It was called TO the attention
of The Citizen that the first act
sponsored by the Monroe County
Planning Council was a mosquito
eradication project, which was
put into effect some years ago
and which was successful to the
greatest degree. Hundreds of
citizens took part in the move
ment and when it ended not one
receptacle could be found nor
were there any mosquitoes in
evidence.
Members of the council are DR..
Harry c. Galley, chairman; Melvin
E. Russell, superintendent of pub
lie instruction; Carl Bervaldi,
chairman of county commission;
