STATE APPLE
SURPLUS CROP
Federal Commodities Corpora
tion Are Buying Del
aware Surplus
MARKET FOR GROWERS

The Federal Surplus Commod-
tiles Corporation, in cooperation
with the Delaware Apple Growers
Industry Committee and the Bu-
reau of Markets, inaugurated an
apple purchase program. This pro-
gram was designed to assist the
growers in the marketing of their
80 crop of late apples. Purchased
apples were distributed through re-
lief channels, therefore going into
immediate consumption. The pur-
pose of the method employed was
and is to dispose of the surplus,
thereby reducing the holdings to
the level of normal consumer de-
mand and to create marketing
situation such as will permit move
ment of the remaining portion of
the crop through the regular av-
enue. Weekly car allotments were
made as requested by the Delaware
Committee. Purchases were con-
sumated on a FOB. basis and
prices prevailed as established, at
the opening of operations. U. 5.
| No. Is, IL in. and up brought 70
cents per bushel. A total of 38313
bushels or 73 cars We're delivered
during the period beginning Octo-
Der 16 and ending November IL.
Kent county supplied 23097 and
Sussex 1926 bushels. The Bureau
of Markets provided Federal-State
shipping point inspection. This
work was performed by two in
spectors. An idea of the efforts
putforth by them, may be gained
from the fact that the allotment
for the first week was filled in
three days, which necessitated the
inspection of Is cars at six loading
points in two counties during one
day. The participating growers as
well as the members of the grow
ers' committee have expressed ap-
probation of the efforts as put
forth by the F.S.C.C. and are op-
tomistic as regards the future
price situation which promises to
show improvement, as a result OF
the corporations activities. A
meeting of the state committee
will be called early in December,
the purpose of which will be to re-
view the prevailing appl situation
and to consider the advisability of
making recommendations to the
F. S. C. C. regarding fture opera
tions.

5000 Income Reports Not Filed

A canvass to determine the
whereabouts of nearly 5000 tax
ables who failed to file 1888 income
tax returns will be started soon by
field men of the state tax Office.
The 3O-day period of grace grant
ed for filing the 1888 income tax
returns having ended, those who
failed to file are now liable to pen
alties. About $3.50 who were no
titled of their failure to file have
replied to the notices. Some of the
delinquents have moved out of the
State, some to new addresses in
Delaware and some have died.

Club, A.A.A., stated today.
THE favor with which these laws
are viewed" Mr.. Lewis continued,
''is evidenced by the adoption of
this type of legislation by three
more states, Idaho, Kansas, and
Washington, and the adoption by
North Dakota of a full law to re-
place her previous fragmentary
law; and is further borne out by
the results of recent survey to
gauge the effectiveness Of such
measures. Replies from officials of
the United States, Hawaii, and
Canada, indicated a general opinion
that where safety-responsibility
provisions are properly drawn and
properly administered, they can go
a long way toward compelling the
payment of judgments, while at
the same time exercising a strong
influence in providing a better
safety record.
| Three outstanding features of
safety-responsibility legislation, all
three of which are contained in the
majority of enacted statutes, are:
ID therequirement for proof of fin
ancial responsibility following con-
viction of violating certain motor
vehicle laws; ~ the requirement
for proof of financial responsibility
following the non-payment of mo-
tor vehicle accident judgments; and
90 the suspension of rights to op-
crate motor vehicles until such
judgments have been satisfied and
proof has beeen filed.
THE adoption of safety-resspon-
sibility laws, in this years legisla-
tive sessions, by three additional
states brings to thirty-three the
number of states that have writer
this type of legislation into theii
statute books Such laws are also
in force in Hawaii, and in eight OF
the nine provinces of Canada"

Graham Hutton Speaker
Before Academy of
World Economics

Destruction Of men and materials
IN the next world war will be so
great that the conflict probably will
not last for more than 18 months,
according to Graham Hutton, Eng
lish author and former associate
editor Of the Economist.
Mr.. Hutton, speaking last night
at the 17th general meeting of the
Academy of World Economics at
tended by about TOO persons at the
United States Chamber of Com
merce auditorium, predicted dras-
tic change in the economic life of
Western civilization whether or not
q general war breaks out.
4 If there is war, he declared, the
economic change will be brought
about in 10 months; If there is no
war the shift will occur in 10 years.
Panel Discussion.
In his panel discussion following
Mr.. Huttons speech, Senator G. M.
Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa asserted
that in the event of European war
1t will be difficult for the American
people to remain neutral, because

underdog." The United States should
take precautions to help its COM

and not become involved unless the
Nations welfare genuinely is en-
dangered.
Representative Hamilton Fish,
Republican, of New York main
tanned that the United States should
attend strictly to its own affairs,
that the country is being subjected
to inf1ammatory propaganda de-
signed to bring 1t into European
war. that Great Britain should
have paid its war debt to the United
Setats.
Msgr. Ryan Disagrees.
The Right Rev. Msgr. John A.
Ryan Of Catholic University dis
agreed with Mr.. Fish, in part. point
ing out that the United States
declined to accept payment of war
debts in British goods. AS for
propaganda advocating our partici-
patton in the war, Msgr. Ryan

ury Morgenthau, who, Mrs. Roose-
velt made clear, will come as a
neighbor and not as an official.
Mrs. Roosevelt admitted she didn't
know about the royal etiquette OH
picnics, but thought she would learn
by June II. A more serious prob
lem than royal etiquette, she felt,
was whether or not the water had
been turned on in the Presidents
cottage. When the Scandinavian
royal visitors were picnicked, Mrs
Roosevelt said, she nearly went crazy
because the water system didn't
work and water had to be hauled
to the picnic scene in milk cars
Although the King and Queen
probably will not have a chance to
consume American hot dogs at Hyde
Park, they will have extensive menus,
which include soft drinks, beer,
coffee, cold ham, cold turkey, sand
wiches, salads and strawberry short
cake, if any Strawberries are avail
able. The shortcake will be made
with baking powder biscuits instead
of cake, Mrs. Roosevelt said.
Questions about various details of
the White House visit brought out
this information:
The beverage that will be served
at the informal White House tea on
the afternoon of the visitors arrival
will be Chinese tea, which the Presi-
dents aunt, Mrs. Dora Delano
Forbes, has been receiving from the
Orient for many years. However, If
the King wishes his own blend Of
tea and brings 1t along with him,
he shall have 1t.
Two Toasts to Be Proposed.
Two walters will be on duty for
every eight people at the state din
ner on June 8. Mrs. Roosevelt fears
that If the walters the King is said
to have brought along with him
should be used for the dinner it
might be a little difficult. because
English and American serving hab-
its probably vary.
At the conclusion of the state din
ner two toasts will be proposed. The
President, according to custom, will
propose the first toast-to his guests
health. Then the King will respond

wine himself.
The question who will proceed who
