the famous town of Cognac, known
for its brandy, would be training
center for Czech troops. Paris dis
patches reported that the Czech
legion would undergo about four
months Of intensive training and
then go into action.
The British government has made
1t known that one Of its war aims
Is to free the Czechs from German
rule and to reconsttiute the Czecho-
Slovak republic.
Along the same lines, Jules Luca-

foreign minister, signed an accord
at Paris September constituting a

PHILLIPS COMPANY EXPANDS
10 Packing Plants in Delaware and
en- Eastern Sho' in Group

Two new Eastern Shore counties
were added to the list of Maryland
and Delaware counties in which
canning operations are conducted
by the Phillips Packing Company
Of Cambridge, when this rapidly
growing company on Saturday ac-
quired the two large plants of the
Talbot county, and the other at
WiIloughby in Queen Anne's coun-
ty. These two plants were pur-
chased at public sale, increasing
the number of Phillips Packing
Company plants on the Dlmarva
Peninsula from seventeen to to-
tai Of nineteen. Colonel Aibanus
Phillips, President of the Company
announced Immediately after the
sale that steps would promptly be
taken to place both factories in
full operation this summer. De-
veloped over a period of nearly 25
years the two plants are equipped
with modern food packing machin-
cry and both are located in rich
and fertile agricultural areas cap
able Of producing practically un.
limited acreages of fresh vegetable
crops Of distinctive excellence.
The company now owns and oper'
ates eight plants in Cambridge
where the home offices of the or
ganization are located, and alsC
plants at Laurel, Newark and Oal
Grove, Delaware; Denton, Willis
ton and New Bridge, in Caroline
county, and Vienna, Church Creel

covery. The fact that the nation
al debt is becoming a continuous
colossal burden on the younger
generation, and is liable to bring
about the governments insolvency,
meant very little to Mr.. Hopkins.
He insisted that the government
must bring back prosperity by
spendign. There is only one thing
that will take effect on the people
of this country and on business.
That is the will to save. The Pres
ident must convince the public
that he understands he was wrong
and has really changed. There
must be teamwork between legis-
lature and executive. Congress is
willing if the President is.
HOUSE ACTION - The most
important issue taken up by the
House of Representatives lately is
the one dealing with larger War
Department appropriation. The
measure, appropriating a half bill
lion dollars to be spent chiefly on
new equipment for the Army-784
new combat planes, new anti-air-
craft guns, new semi-automatic
rifles and improvement of the sea-
coast defenses, was approved by
the House. Another appropriation
bill approved by the House was
the Treasury-Post Office supply
measure. This bill would give ST.
sos, 100000 to the two large de-
partments.
WAR REFERENDUM-A group
of twelve Senators are asking a
Constitutional amendment which
would not allow the u. S. to en-
gage in war overseas without
first getting the nations approval
by a popular vote. This referend-
UNI would not be used in a case
where the U. S. would be invaded.
Congress would retain war-making
powers in case the United States
or its territorial possessions were
invaded. The measure has been
introduced by Senator LaFollette
of Wisconsin. 1t is similar to the
Ludlow Referendum introduced
last session, but differs in that the
latter did not make an exception
for an attack by a European or
Asiatic power on one of the other
nations in this hemisphere.
