HOIlC1l1y EGiyluGnGE Will WCIk IlO hardship on the finances of the Marketing Association, nor will l it in any way dep1et9 their working capital. It is very simple. All merchandise is sold for cash and the provis ons Of the offer to sell require that a porti ion of the cash receipts rapras onting cost of tho mer- cnandiso sold be turned over to the Corporation each month
 in liquidation of the debt. To carry the exp1anat ion to it's simplest terms let Us use this
 iIlustrat ion: Suppose the
 Trading Post as bus mess in
 stitution bought on credit ten
 cans of milk at cost or 5Oe. Suppose these ten cans of milk
 Were sold for S1.OO cash and
 50c of this amount used to pay
 for the milk purchased, leev-
 ing 50g in cash as [ profit on
 the sale. Can it be said by any stretch or imagination that this transa ion has hurt the
 Trading Post or dop1eted their
 finances? The exact essentials of the above illustrated transac tion are what it is proposed shall be done in connec ion with merchandise valued at $50, 100000 instead of 5oq. The only monies which ould be paid out of the working capital
 would be the amount of $l67.38 per month. Tn connection with the terms offered for sale Of the mer- chandise inventory; consider this situation, the exact sales for 1858 were 3l69, ,339.37 the cost Of this merchandise Was $l32, 768. 30. If you divide

Miami or Key West have been
made, that the p. and O. Co. de-
cided to ship number of old
members of the crew of the yes
sells to Miami and sail the Flo

Long before the hour of leav-

to assemble at the office of the
Florida Motor Lines on Southland

engagements had been completed
by Agent John Costar of the COM

Germany's Foreign Minis
ter Arrives In Moscow
To Sign Non-AggressiOn
Pact With Soviets
my associated Prs.sl

lily associated Pressb
LONDON. Aug. 23.-Britain
today took strong action in the
European war-scare situation and
transmitted through the regular
diplomatic channels a forceful
warning to Adolf Hitler that
force would be resisted with
force" should he see fit to carry
out threats of military invasion
of Poland.
This action is an exact anti
thesis of the appeasement policy
followed by Prime Minister
Chamberlain last year in treat
ment of the Czecho-Slovakia crisis
when parleys were called
Munich.
The message to Hitler also con-
tanned strong admissions to settle
the Polish question in a peaceful
and satisfactory manner to both
sides.
Foreign Minister Won Ribben-
trop of Germany, meanwhile, has
arrived in Moscow to sign the
non-aggression pact with Soviet
officials.
All resources of England are
held at emergency attention as
the democratic nations await
further developments in the in
ternational scene. Extraordinary
sessions of cabinets in London
and Paris are being neld and
conjecture runs high as to the
steps to be taken in answer to the
new alliance between Germany
and Russia.
Dominions of the British En-
pire are falling into line, one by
one, in support of the mother
country. Australia and New Zea-
land this morning pledged all re-
sources to England in case of war.
Leaves of absence for the whole
British army, scattered in far
corners of the world, have been
cancelled, and full strength of the
army and navy will be effected
by tomorrow as soldiers and
sailors report back to stations.
War scares of present moment
are causing huge bookings on
liners about to depart for the
United States. A number of the
most magnificent liners are on
the high seas at present-bound
for Europe. Reports indicate that
speed will be reduced to await
near-future developments before
docking.
Foreign newspaper authorities,
following minute study of devel-
opments of the last two days, are
united in opinion that the crisis
will result in showdown this
weekend. Any one of four situa-
tons may take place-England
may back down, Hitler may back
down, Poland may back down or
a general war will start.
Various interpretations on the
Russia-Germany pact have been
made, however, which implies a
wide difference of opinion held
by diplomats of the various ma
tons. Some authorities still in
sist that the original triple alli-
ance between England, France
and Russia is not impossible of
fuIfillment.
A new situation in the picture
is the continued support of Eng
land by Turkey. This is import
ant in that Poland would be am
ply backed 'sin the rear" should
pressure become too great along
the German frontier. Turkish in
fluence will have much bearing
on the attitude of other Balkan
states should . definite crisis
arise.

party stated that the German
treaty with Russia came as a
complete surprise to the Presi-
dent. 1t will be recalled that
Roosevelt made no declaration
when he boarded the Tuscaloosa,
such as he made in Key West at

Houston, when he declared that
"the situation in Europe may
cause my return to Washington
