International

Since Russia was ignored at the
Munich conference last September,
the Soviet has withdrawn to its shell,
apparently content to fight internal
problems and let the rest Of the
world fight Adolf Hitler. This &C.
ton was justified. France, Britain,
Italy and Germany ignored Mos
COW in settling the Sudeten issue;
apparently Russia was not wanted
in Europe, and anyway Japan was
barking at her vulnerable Asiatic
door. n
But necessity sometimes makes
strange bedfellows. Though Conn
munisin looks far more like Nazi-
ism than Democracy, Russian-Ger-
man interests clash on two vital
points. {D Hitler wants the Russian
Ukraine, vast expanse Of rich and
fertile land which now gives Russia
most of its oil, wheat, meat and
mineral; (2) Germany's ally in the
vengeful anti-C Communist pact is Ja-
pan, and Japan is Russia's most an
cient and bitter enemy.
Hence Russia has emerged on the
international front once more as a
direct aftermath of Germany's
Czechoslovakian seizure. Huge,
mysterious, of unknown strength,
the laundering nation whose army
collapsed amidst its last European
venture during the World war. finds

Gardeners
Plant Seeds Carefully

WHEN vegetable and flower
W seeds purchased from repu-
table firms do not terminate as
they should, it is safe to assume
that conditions are not favorable
for growth, or that seeds were not
planted properly.
Therefore, it is of greatest inn

cred only lightly with soil, accord
ing to Harold N. Coulter, vegeta-
BILE expert.
The will to grow is strong in
seeds, but they have their irlita-
tons. To plant a tiny seed, like
the petunia, under an inch of soil
is like burying a man under a 20
story building and asking him to
push it away.
Heavier, larger seeds, of course,
may be planted deeper. Beans
and cucumbers may be covered
with three-quarters of an inch to
a full inch of soil. Peas and corn
sprout vigorously and may be
planted from an inch to an inch
and one-half deep.
Many successful home garden
ers actually cover peas and corn
with an extra haH-inch of soil aft
er they begin to push through.
This protects them from birds,
and also helps keep weeds down.

Strategic War Materials
That Must Be Developed

But with all of this hullabaloo, we
have not heard nor seen any plans
for development Of our national de-
posits of raw materials which are
used in the stock pile of war re-
sources. 1t might not be SO ilnper-
tant were it not a fact that score
or more of these materials have to
be imported. ] regret the necessity
for being SO bold, but it is proper
to say that our war and navy de-
partments have advanced not a sim
gle program, or even thought, as
to how this nation could gain GER
tain raw materials If we were to be
involved in a war that would cut off
importation of them.
The war department has prepared
a list of some of these strategic
war materials and it has listed
some of the most important, such
as nickel, tin, manganese, rubber,
etc. That is as far as it has gone.
1t is true, and the swivel chair
officers will stress the fact, that con-
gress passed law few years back
that was designed to encourage
American production Of these essen
tials. 1t was called, popularity, the
buy-Ameriean act. 1t even went SO
far as to afford authority for pay
ment of premiums, up to IS per
cent above foreign quotations. in or
der that American capital would 60
to work here on those essentials.
But has anything resulted from it?
The records answer, no.
A congressional committee also
lately has answered mo" by draft
ing another bill to encourage pro-
duction in the United States of these
war essentials. The house commit
tee on military affairs has reported
a bill which Chairman May hopes
win do the work, but even Chairman
May is doubtful of its success. He
is doubtful because, as he said, when
the bureaucrats in the executive
branch of the government do not
want to encourage domestic preduc-
ton, they simply sit in their chairs
and swing their feet back and forth.
