Turkey as Intermediary
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Tl1rkev is strategically the most important of the Balkan countries. Her geographic position as custo- dian of the Dardanees the gateway to the Black sea, to Russia Rumania and Bulgaria. makes her valu- able ally to any power. Hence her reported decision to sign mutual assistance pact with Russia brings Turkey to the forefront in the game of power politics
 Early in his regime the late Renal Pasha recog- nzed the advsabiity of friendly relations with his powerful northern neighbor At the same time the rulers in Ankara realized that they could not defn- itely commit themselves to any power or group of powers Hence, they took steps to strengthen their relations with Britain and France. German help was not rejected although the Turks careful not to let German influence become preponderant. At the crossroads of the continents Turkey was in an en- viabe position to play both sides and profit by It.
 President Inonu Kemals able successor, has con- tinued this policy He has been under heavy Nazi pressure to throw in his lot with Berlin. He has mutua-assisance pacts with Britain and France and Turkey is of the nations whose independence has been guaranteed by Britain. It is certain that at this critical stage in European affairs Turkey is not going to toss overheard a policy which has worked to her advantage for years In light of this the forthcoming agreement with Russia may furnish key to Russia ultimate intentions in the European conflict
 Turkey would not be so short-sighted to align herself with nation whose policy might ultimately get her in trouble with the First of all, Turkey is a Mediterranean power and her rulers know full well that the middle is BritainS province, despite the big talk of Mussolini Secondly, Turkeys leaders are too realistic to place themselves III an exposed position in regard to Italy, in the hope that Britain might sometime eXtricate her. Ankara it may be taken for granted has assured herself of Iays posi- tion before undertaking negotiations with Moscow.
 It can be deduced from these circumstances that Russia is not going the whole hog with Germany She placed herself through the seizure of Polish ter ritory and through the reported alliance with Turkey in dominant position in the Balkans. And it would be against all the rules of power politics for her to surrender this position to Germany despite their surface friendship. Turkey, her Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu anticipates, may be the medium of bringing about an understanding between Moscow and the west

RUSSIA IN WORLD AFFAIRS

The secret mind of Moscow remains unfathomable to the watching governments of the rest of the world As real bombs crash on the war front and as sem- blance of peace has settled Poland the diplomatic bombshes continue to explode most of them in Mos cow But in the long weeks since the sensation caused by the Nazi-Sovet pact the motives and intentions behind the switch of the Soviet Government have become no clearer Nor it is evident has any mutual trust developed between the two regimes that repudiat- ed all their propaganda to starte the world by an appearance of agreement.
 The ambiguity concerning Russian German rea- tions becomes greater rather than less events fold It is entirely possible that under the guise of an understanding ii not an alliance the two countries are working toward mutually antagonistic goals The actual boundary line drawn between the German and Russian armies of occupation in Poland emphasizes this possibility Though Germany did all the fighting, it has had to allow Russia to occupy more than half of Poland For the establishment of the "defntive military demarcation ne' the German forces have retreated 100 miles from territory - they had conquered at much cost to themselves. In the process they have turned of the richest oil wells in Poland to the Russians. Moreover Ger many has failed to gain common frontier with Ru- mania even though the oil pipe line which was to have been extended from Rumania to Germany was considered of the first importance to her
 Partition of Rumania between Russia and Ger many remains possibility but though Stalin doubt less covets the Bessarabian section of Rumania he can hardly, any than Turkey, want to see Ger many on the Black It is obvious at the very least that Hitler has paid stiff price for the neutraliza- tion' of Russia, and it remains to be seen how real this naturalization will prove to be. It is unlikely that Stalin will make a single move deliberately in- tended to help the Western democraces had he wished to do SO and stop Hitler without he would have made a prompt and unequvocal pact with England and France in the first place But in playing his own treacherous game-Which seems to involve the en- couragement and prolongation of the war between England, France and Germany-he may effectively frustrate some of Hitlers most cherished ambitions.
 But if Stalns policy actually involves giving eco- homie help to Germany in the contest how effective is such help likely to be? Can it nullify British blockade? A recent issue of The London Economist discusses a number of aspects of the matter which suggest that with goodwill, Russian help is not necessarily assured In the first place Russia in gen. eral produces barely enough foodstuffs for her own people even though their standard of living is still relatively low It is true that she exports wheat in

CANNED SALMON NOW PACKED BY
 LATEST METHOD

Alaska's canned sa1mon which has won worldwide fame for it's tasti- ness and nutritional values is today product of a mechanical industry which contrasts sharply with the operation which produced the first commercially canned Alaska fish Sixty-one years ago at Klawock on Prince of Wales Island.
 During that summer of 1878, AL aska's two operating salmon can neries produced about 5000 cases of canned salmon. Virtually the en- tire operation was performed by hand.
 The fish heads, tails and fins were removed by hand labor. The fish were opened and cleaned by hand. They were cut into the pro- per lengths to fill the cans which had been previously cut out, rolled, and soldered by hand work. The tops were fastened to the cans and they were placed in the cooker.
 Machinery Does Work
 Today, high speed machinery does most of this work. The capacity of the canneries to produce the finish ed product has been greatly in creased. But more important, the quality of canned salmon offered to the consumer has been immeasur- ably improved because of the speed and care with which the salmon is now progressed from the fishing boat through to the cooking retorts.
 The first major improvement in the salmon canning industry was the introduction of the Iron Chink" in 1903. This machine, which won it's name because it performed the labor formerly done by Chinese hand labor, prepared and cleaned the salmon before canning.
 Operation Starts
 The salmon, fresh from the sea goes into this machine which cuts off the head, tail, fins, slits the fish open, and removes the viscera. This machine has stepped up the speed with which the salmon could be handled. It not only introduced a cleaner, more sanitary method o1 canning, but it improved the quality of the finished product by cuttine down the length of time required for canning.
 Next step to add to the speed and efficiency of the industry il supplying a high quality product t, the consumer was the introduction of the reformed or collapsed can These cans, now manufactured a the rate of over 300 a minute. re placed the hand made cans whicl were so tediously produced. The

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Il

This is a day of mixed planetary aspects and after the early morning likely to be confusing and perpleX- ing. Before breakfast the program for business or professional actiyi- ties should be carefully made out, since then there is sign encourag- ing to clear thought and wise judg- ment. Through the forenoon there may be obstacles and interruptions, but plans that have been made should be resolutely worked out
 Heart and Home: Although this is a lucky day for making new &C., quaintances, it is not stimulating to romance. Practical initiative is well directed There may be acci- tents in the operation of the domes- lie machinery; caution is enjoined lest cuts and burns be sustained This is a promising sway for woman who are interested in buying and selling. Heads of business inter- orises should profit. The stars en- courage the exercise of authority in home and shop.
 Business Affairs: This should be a sairly fortunate date for launching new enterprise or for expanding what is already well started. Mer- ;hants and manufacturers will pro- it through the next few months. Bankers will meet many problems md will find much to test their fore tight in the granting of loans.
 National Issues: Third term dis ,ussion will have an unfavorable fleet on the stock market, owing o an undiplomatic move by an ar lent supporter of the President of he United States. A boom will eX- Jand for prominent Democrat who will present a program for our re- ations with the Orient. A Republi- an statesman will gain in popular ty, but he is not likely to make much progress toward nomination or the presidency
 International Affairs: Astrologers gree that the reign of world dicta- DTS will be limited, but they fore ell that the end of ruthless power will not be accomplished until there as been a disaster of major pro- jortionS Fears which will be preVa- ent in Great Britain should not be accepted by residents of the United 5tates. The peril here is from Euro )ean emissaries sent to undermine UT national institutions, but aware ess of danger is now working to ,vercome subversive influences.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have he augury of year of uncertain ies. Quarrels and disagreementS hould be avoided for they are es- 2ecially ill-omened for these sub iects of Libra.
 Children born on this day prob ibly will be gifted though inclined .oward selfishness. They may be n- ditive and industrious, but their .uccess may inspire enmities and ealousies.

contributed to establishing the in- dustry on a basis where it could utilize more fully the fishery re- source
 Vacuum Machine Used
 More recently the vacuum ma chine replaced the steam box meth cd of obtaining a vacuum in the cans. This machine added speed to the canning operations, and also reduced the cannery space required.
 Latest development to step up the speed of the canning process has been the high speed filler machine. This modern machine fills 160 cans per minute, four times the speed of older methods, and the workman ship of the filters is greatly im- proved
 Speed in getting the salmon from the sea into the can has been the keynote of the mechanical changes in the industry through its sixty one years. To deliver to consumers everywhere a high grade product that will win repeat customers, qual- ity is necessary, and speed in can- ming means quality. Machinery has also enabled can neries to produce an absolutely sani- tary food product.
 Today's canned salmon from AL aska canneries shows almost as great an improvement from it's counter part of 1878 as does the process by which the canned salmon is pro- duced.

Bargain Counter Legal Advice
Tried Out by Lawyers Guild

The proximity of the neighborhood
Office to the client, Mr.. Abrahams
added, is designed to dispel a feeling
by some that legal service is beyond
their reach and to create something
akin to the neighborliness enjoyed
by the country practitioner.
MIR. Abrahams said the final test
of the plan will be whether it at
tracts new clients or merely takes
old ones from other lawyers.
Eight Offices have been set up in
typical" neighborhoods, manned by
young lawyers in partnerships of
two to six. They work part-time
and earn only what the Office
produces. They are pledged to
adhere to the following fee scale
For a half-hour consultation, ST.;
for a simple will disposing of social
security benefits, ST.; other wills,
deeds, mortgages, small family set
Elements, 81 and up; letters, notices,
proofs of claim in bankruptcy, ST.;

tanned independently and operate
