Washington Polish Woman
Has 4 Brothers in War
Mrs. WesoIowski
Recalls Flight in
Lost Conflict
BY JOHN d. LEONARD,

Stephenie WeSolowski takes q few
extra stitches on her busy sewing
machine these days.
1t helps the 42-year-old seam
stress to keep her mind of her four
brothers and II cousins who are
fighting for the integrity of their
Polish homeland.
"The Matuszyks are a very patri-
otto family, you know" she empha-
sizes, land Poland must not be
lost"
Sometimes Mrs Wesolowski pauses
from her work to gaze out her win
dow across to the chancery of the
Spanish Embassy.
She knows that Krakow has been
bombed and her home in The little
village of Gdow lies nearby. She
wonders If there have been any cas-
ualities in her family's little army,
or if her 71-year-old father is still
alive.
No Word in Month.
A month has gone by since she
last heard from home. A ster
wrote that even then the Poles felt
that seriods trouble was 1rewing.
Hence Mrs. Wesolowski and her
husband get all their information
from the newspapers and a little
radio which rests in corner of the
living room, cluttered with dress
patterns, models, and mementos of
Mrs. Wesolowski's youth in Poland.
Often she picks up a worn picture
album filled with pictures of strong
looking men in uniform. There are
photographs of the four Stanislaws

Josephs, three Walters, two Frames,
one Antony and one Julian Ma
tuszyk. They were young men
when the pictures were taken. Now
they are in their 40s. Some wore
medals, tokens of honor for services
in the last war-on the side of the
Central powers.
But Mrs. Wesolowski is happy
that her family is serving under the
Polish colors.
The Polish people are great
fighters" she said proudly. They

Wallace Appoints
Advisory Council 10
Draft Policies
Group Will Seek Ways
To Offset War Effects
On U. S. Agriculture
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Wallace yesterday ap-
pointed an Advisory Council Of
farmers and business men to help
draft policies to Offset any adverse
effects of the European war on
American agricultural economy.
The 14-member council included
several men who have been critical
of the departments policies, a fact
that aroused particular interest in
view of President Roosevelt's plea
Sunday night for national unity in
meeting problems arising from the
conflict abroad.
Those asked to be on the council
included w. L. Clayton, Houston
(TexD cotton merchant who has
opposed some Of the department
cotton policies; John Vesecky. presi-
dent of the Farmers Union and
advocate of the domestic allotment
plan which Secretary Wallace op-
poses; L. j. Taber, master of the
National Grange, and Thomas E.
Wilson of the Chicago meat packing
family.
The first meeting of the council
was called for September 10.
Secretary Wallace said the effects
Of the war probably would be felt
first in the marketing of products
which this country normally ex-
ports, but that there also might be
repercussions affecting the move
ment of products produced primarily
for domestic consumption.
There are now abundant food
and fiber supplies in our country"
he said. "By working together,
farmers, business men and Govern
ment can make these supplies avail
able at prices fair to consumers and
producers alike. We are much bet
ter prepared to do this than we were
at the outbreak of the World War.
And it also will be much easier to
make the adjustments necessary to
preserve peace"
He asserted, too, that the problems
could be solved without resort to
the methods of the dictators."
Others appointed to the Advisory
Council included Barry Bingham,
publisher, Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal; j. H. Burruss, president Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute; Herman
Fakler, Washington, vice president
of the Millers' National Federation;
Clifford Gregory, associate publisher,
Wallace's Farmer, Des Moines;

dent, National Cotton Council; Hec-

American Politics
Will Be Swayed by
Wars Developments
Presidents Supporters
Vision End Of Partisan
Biekering in Congress
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The European war is developing
new and powerful factors in the
American political situation. It II
regarded here as almost certain te
have vital effect on the 1910 presi.
dental campaign.
If the conflict continues, United
States foreign policy undoubtedly
will be the most important topic be-
fore the coming congressional ses-
sion, and thus tend to push con-
troversial domestic issues into the
background.
Although Congress refused to act
at the last session on President
Roosevelt's neutrality recommends
tions and torpedoed other major ad-
ministration legislation, the Chief
Executives supporters feel he has q
right to expect the cooperation OF
Congress In handling future foreign
policy.
Obstacle to Partisanship.
They believe the pressure of war
abroad will eliminate much of the
partisan pickering which helped to
establish an effective anti-adminis-
tration coalition of Republicans and
dissident Democrats.
Specifically, they think q desire
for national unity will rule out the
tactics of filibuster and delay which
otherwise might be employed in a
fight against administration neu-
trality proposals.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself appealed in
his radio address Sunday night for
an adjournment of 'partisanship
and selfishness" and suggested that
national unity should be "the
thought that underlies all others"
If the President were able to re-
gain greater support in Congress,
many politicians believe increasing
attention would be given to the
question of whether he will seek a
third term.
Slogan Aided Wilson.
The slogan He Kept Us Out of
War" helped President Wilson OBJ
tain second term Likewise, if this
country stays out of a continuing
European conflict, Mr.. Roosevelt's
supporters might seek to use the
same argument in urging his nom
ination for an unprecedented third
term.
If Mr.. Roosevelt decided not to
run again, the continuance of peace
in the United States still might op-
crate to give him a strong voice in
selection of the next Democratic
national ticket
The European war also could
have a major effect on selection of
a Republican presidential nominee,
because the foreign policy views of
the various contenders might out
weigh the records they have written
on domestic issues.

British Propaganda
Leaflets Follow Up
World War Success
Messages Tell German
People Of Desire to
Restore Peace

Great Britain in her first air
plane invasion Of Germany in the
present conflict proceeded on the
theory that "the pen is mighter
than the sword"
In dropping printed messages
over the line in her first air in
vasion of German territory, the
British followed a plan adopted first
by the Germans during the World
War and which later was adopted
by the Allies, reputedly with telling
effect.
The leaflets dropped recently by
the British assured the Germans
that the British bore no hatred
against the German people, that
the British had tried every way
possible to keep from having to
fight them and would gladly make
peace with any trustworthy, peace
loving German territory. The
pamphlets bore, in effect, the fur
ther message that the German
people had been plunged needlessly
into war by Hitler and that the way
to peace would be to get new gov
ernmental heads.
German Propaganda Failed.
Early in the World War the Ger
mans, it is related by historians.
dropped messages behind the Allies
lines, endeavering to show allied
forces the uselessness of fighting
against Germany, which was pointed
to as the ultimate winner. Some
of the propaganda. however, was
so extreme as to have the opposite
effect.
Slowly, events of the World War
led the Allies to appreciate the
value of propaganda and messages,
it is pointed out by a historian.
Accordingly, in February, 1918, the
ministry of information was set up
under the direction of Lord Beaver
brook. The ministry was largely
for emphasizing the business of the
allied cause among the allied and
neutral countries, it is pointed out.
simultaneously, however. with the
establishment of the ministry, a de-
partment was established under
Viscount Northcliffe to undertake
propaganda in the enemy countries.
AS far back as october, 1914, his
torian relates, Northcliffe had pre-
pared some pamphlets for distribu-
ton behind the German lines.
Showed Line Broken.
In many cases, it Is said, the ef-
feet of information spread among
the enemy was devastating to them
Among the leaflets dropped be-
hind the German lines during the
World War and said to have had
great effect in lowering the Ger
man soldiers morale. was one show
ing the breaking of the famous Hin
denburg Line.
Violent attacks were made by the
German high command upon the
World War British Enemy Propa-
ganda Department. A historian
says: TT was accused, rightly, of
being responsible for the nervous
ness of the German nation and for
its waning confidence in its lead
ers." The propaganda, 1t is further
pointed out, had the effect Of
spreading "rumors" among the Ger
mans-rumors that caused nervous
ness and provided the Germans
with the thought that they, after
alA might lose the war.
Many Of the World War messages
were sent over enemy lines, tied to
small balloons.

10 Nations Struggle
With New Cotton
Problems Here
Wallace Tells PorIey
War Adds to Surplus
Difficulties
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Despite the war in Europe, dele
gates from the United States and
nine other countries today began
to explore the possibility Of stabil-
izing the world cotton trade. Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace, in
opening the conference at the de-
partmental auditorium, remarked:
Some may think 1t strange at this
time of world turmoil that a meet
ing should be held to consider inter-
national collaboration In economic
affairs. Actually there is nothing
strange about it, either from the
point Of view Of the particular COM
modify situation with which we
have to deal or from the point Of
view Of the broad principles of in
ternational cooperation.
Problem Held Growing.
$50 far as the immediate cotton
situation Is concerned the events
of the last few days cannot be inter-
preted optimistically. The posi-
bilities of utilizing in the immediate
future the burdensome supplies OF
cotton have become poorer rather
than better. 1t seems likely that
any increased use of cotton for
military purposes in the combatant
countries will be mush more than
offset by decreased use for ordinary
purposes"
The delegates made Harry L.
Brown, Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture, their chairman for the con.
ference, which will continue through
the week. The countries represented
are India, Egypt, Brazil, the British
cotton-exporting colonies, the U. S.
S. R., the French cotton
colonies, Peru, Mexico and the Su-
dan. Jose Garibaldi Dantas, the
chief Brazilian delegate, nominated
Mr.. Brown for the chairmanship.
World cotton producers this sea-
son are faced with one of the most
critical situations in the history Of
the commodity" an Agriculture De-
partment report especially prepared
for the conference stated. Huge
stocks Of old-crop cotton have been
carried into the 1939-40 marketing
season, and prospective supplies con-
tinue far in excess of world REQUIRE
mentS.'
Export Quota Prelude.
Secretary Wallace planned the
conference as prelude to a divi-
sion Of the world into export quota
areas SO that costly competition for
the various export markets might
be reduced.
AS lever to induce international
cooperation with his quota idea,
Mr.. Wallace in July began a pro-
gram of subsidizing cotton exports
abroad. He suggested today that he
would end the subsidy If the quota
system were adopted
The authority of the conferees Is
limited to reporting to their gov.I
ernments on the feasibility Of CALI
ing another conference at which
quotas would be agreed upon.
