The Round Table Discussion, in which Tessim zor-

would not only be retarded but become regress in

W.P.A. EDUCATION PRO-
GRAM HELPS COMBAT
ILLITERACY

New York, April, (CNA)-The far
reaching social usefulness of the WPA
was highly praised this week when the
New York City Board of Education
declared the Education program of the
Federal Work Relief Agency a major
factor in combating illiteracy in the
city. 1t was reported that there has
been a steady public demand for the
facilities provided, and that the num-
Der of persons now receiving free
instructions totals 10000, an all-time
record.
The WPA Adult Education pro-
gram, according to Gustav A. Stumpf,
project administrator, not only helps to
combat illiteracy among adults, but al
so furnishes cultural courses for those
who wish to widen their educational
horizons. Among those receiving aid
in a variety of courses are persons of
all races, native and foreign-born. 1t is
reported that a growing number of
Negroes is taking advantage of the op-
portunities offered.
The main detectives of the program
are to reduce and perhaps abolish illit-
eracy in the New York area, and to
supply opportunities to those who are
denied the usual privileges Of public
education.

Britain Will Send
Millions of Men
To War If Needed
BY WEBB MILLER

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. % CUP)-(Passed by
field censor) - Great Britain has
determined to send an army run
ming into the millions TO France
if necessary, it was indicated today.
Thousands of troops continue TO
pour into France through base
ports, along with immense amounts
of supplies and munitions. 1t was
increasingly obvious in the British
area that the original British force
is only a framework for huge
army to come.
Conversations I have held with
officers and men of every branch
of the service shows that none of
them expects a short war or, for
a long time at least, the political
or economic collapse of Germany.
They are under no illusion that
victory will be easy.
Talks with French soldiers. bus
mess men and peasants fails to
show the slightest sign that Ger
man propaganda intended to sep
arate France from Great Britain
is having effect.

missing.
The Sea Venture was sunk by
enemy action off the north coast
of Scotland. The Whitemantle went
down in the North Sea as the re-
suit of an explosion.
Five survivors from the White
mantle, who were landed at an
English east coast port, were taken
to hospitals.
The Whitemantle was registered
out of London and the Sea Ven

sia would make no bid for bases
on the Finnish mainland or for a
mutual assistance" pact but would
b content with the ceSsion of three
small islands off the Kronstadt
naval base-islands which 1T is be-
lieved. Finland may be willing to
cede as of no value to her but OF
great value 10 Russia.
Russia was believed also to de-
sire an agreement that the Aaland
islands at the mouth of the Gulf oi
Bothnia between Finland and Swe-
den. should remain in their present
unfortified state.
Political quarters suggested that
Russia might attach considerable
weight to the interest shown in
Finland by the United States and
the Scandinavian countries.
Also. as regards demands on Fin
land. Russia now, through the con-
cessions exacted from other Baltic
republics, has made its position
much stronger.
Both Finnish and Russian Off
eial quarters remained tight-lipped
regarding the nature of RuSsia's
demands But it had been indicated
that Finland regarded the Russian
proposals as sufficiently moderate
to permit discussion.
It was forecast that Premier-For-
eign CommisSar Viacheslav Molo-
toy and Josef Stain would proceed
promptly to negotiations, and that
the Finnish delegates would leave
for home soon-possibly to seek in
structions from their government
before final agreement.

Foster Mother Of Race.
The healthy COW has been called
the foster mother" of the human
race. Milk is not only our most
nearly perfect food, but one Of our
most vital foods. And yet it may,
under certain conditions, be dam

The heart of the problem Of safe
milk supply is the healthy COW.
Cows are subject to certain dis

may make their milk products un-

There are many other contribu-

treatment of hookWorm in man, now
used to the extent of millions Of
doses annually, was discovered by
veterinarians experimenting in the
treatment of the same parasite in

virus of this disease reached this
country in smallpox vaccine led to
its eradication.
Anthrax Under Control.
Anthrax, a disease as old as Greek
civilization, also has been brought
under control. 1t Is spread by con-
taminated hides, wool from affected
sheep and by other means.
There have been other broad
human results from veterinary re-
search. The study of malnutrition
and its treatment in livestock and
fowls has proved helpful in dealing
with metaboic diseases in man.
Also progress in the knowledge of
animal feeding has created new pos
sibilities for better nutrition in man.
