&C {. Praised for Aid
To Veterans Welfare

The Civilian Conservation Corps
"has materially contributed to the
welfare of war veterans" by pro-
viding them with jobs and job
training opportunities in special
camps, according to a Veterans Ad-
minStration report made public
today.
The veterans-l0,974 were enrolled
during the 1910 fiscal year-are
stationed in 1876 barrack camps
under the same regulations as
Junior C. C. c. enrolleeS. They are
selected. however. by the Veterans
Administration. Ten per cent of the
C. c. C. authorized enrolment is
made up of unemployed war
veterans, under laws establishing the
agency.
Since 1888 about $4,000 enroll
mentS have been made in the
veterans division of the C. C. c.. the
report states. and approximately a
half million persons-veterans and
their dependents-have received
direct monetary benefits under the
program.
There is direct relationship
between unemployment among vet
Grams and the number of appli-
cations received for domiciliary care
in the Veterans Administration
Facilities" the report asserted.
Veterans prefer EMPLOYMENT, when
available, TO such care"

without trying to secure some coun-
ter-advantage. and there lies the
Importance of next Tuesdays dis
cussions. Not only does Germany
expect that Russia will put up with
the new Balkan order; but she
wants her to neutralize Turkey, to
prevent her from ever reacting to
the developments brought about by
the italian onslaught on Greece
and even, if necessary according
to some reports) to provoke a
change of regime in Ankara.
From the above it is clear that
the present German-Russian nego-
tiation has been initiated on Ger
manys demand. Before long we
shall know to what extent she has
won her point. If, from the Molo-
toff -Ribbentrop meeting, nothing
comes forth but fresh economic
agreements after the barter pat
tern and assurances of mutual good
will or general cooperation, the re-
lations of the Nazi and of the
Soviet empires will bid fair to con-
tinue practically on the same lines
as formerly. On the contrary, were
territorial arrangements to be con-
cluded and, above all, published, it
ought to be feared lest the Russian
power, impressed by Germany's
military might, has not shown itself
unwilling to dishearten and hold
back the Turks.

restraint against certain of his ad-
visors. Many of the latter are thln-
skinned. They want sort Of child
ish revenge now for all criticism
ever leveled against them. They
apparently mean to keep up their
misguided fight against critics, nttle
realizing that it is a mark of char
acter not to be thin but
to confound critics by removing the
lust basis of their criticism and let
ting the people take care OF the
unjust criticisms. For critics nave
constituencies, too, and must depend
on the support of thinking followers
to be sustained.
It is, therefore, somewhat dlScon-
certing to see an administrator
Spokesman, Harold Ickes, go unre-
buked in resuming his fight against
the press as an institution. Nobody
objects to a debate on public issues,
but the inference that the press
must now face some sort OF public
consideration" is rather an unfor-
tunate issue to inject at this time,
when so many editors genuinely tear
that the entry of the United States
into the war will be utilized by rad
icals in Washington to accomplish
what every totalitarian state has
found necessary to achieve its aims
the restriction of press freedom
and speech freedom.
If these fears are empty it is up
to the majority party promptly to
dispel them by emitting any act or
word which seems to justify those
fears. And it is even more neces-
sary that these non-radical indie

By PERTINAX.

Vyacheslaff Molotoff, Soviet Pre-
mier and Foreign Commissar, is ex-
pected soon to sign German-RuS-
sian agreement which will bring up
to date the arrangements arrived at
in the Soviet capital on September
90, 1899, when Joachim Won Ribben-
trop, German Foreign Minister, Wis
tied it for the second time.
1t will be remembered that, more
than once toward the end Of 1899
and in the first week of 1910, 1t was
announced from Berlin that M.
Molotoff would soon return the calls
paid by the German foreign minister.
On every occasion, stern denlals
were issued on the Russian side.
Obviously, the Soviet rulers did not
wish to commit themselves more
deeply than they had done on the
eve and at the beginning of the
European war. Have M. Stain and
his advisers, by now, made up their
minds to take an additional step
forward? Here is at any rate
partial answer to that question.
To understand what is at stake
TODAY between Germany and Soviet
Russia. it is necessary to go back to
the middle of October About 10
DAYS before, German troops had
been rushed into Rumania and
Soviet diplomacy kept on bitterly
complaining that such a move over
stepped the limits of the German
Russian understanding of Septem-
Der %, 1899, and moreover, that Ger
many had failed to give previous
notice to Moscow of what she in
tended to dc. In fact, Russia was
confronted with an accomplished
fact.
Territorial Concessions Offered.
The German ambassador, Count
Won Schulenburg, was instructed to
declare formally to M. Molotoff:
l. That his government did not
dispute that the military occupation
of several Rumanian districts went
beyond the limits of the arrange
mentS in force with Russia. but, at
the same time. maintained that 1t

the Soviet before military action
around the lower Danube had real
" begun to take shape.
.. That it was willing to grant
adequate territorial compensationS.
Between Berlin and Moscow eX-
changes of views have been in prog
ress during the last three or four
weeks and it is learned from diplo-
matte sources that definite offers
have been submitted TO Soviet Rus
STA. They provide for revision Of
the southern frontier of Bessarabia
of which the result would be to place
under full Russian sovereignty the
northern part of the Danube delta
and for Russia'S complete freedom
of movement in Iran. Besides, 1t
is believed that Germany contem-
plates to set up an international
commission to control the OAR
danelles and that while she would
appoint a chairman of her own,
vested with the executive authority,
she would formally invite Russia to
send a special representative on the
board. OF course, that commission
can be regarded only as a piece OF
window dressing, since the Germans,
having seized Constanta, are sure
to dominate the Black Sea, but win
dow dressing may be found useful
to soothe the feelings of the Russian
rulers.
However, Hitlerian diplomacy is
hardly likely to give away so much

The sensible procedure is to de-

Then, with rare exceptions, to
spend that much time on yourself.
Generally speaking, half an
hour before dinner or just before
going to bed should be ample for
bathing, hair-brushing, face and

Bon-Bon dish in the shape of a
dahlia. Top cor prize for checkers,
a wall plaque, was given to Mrs.
G. V. Cooling, while Mrs. Harvey
Boney was given a glass bud vas
for low cor The honorees, Mes
danes Hoffler and Gavin, were also
given guest prizes.
During the games the hostess, as
sisted by Mrs. Groom and Misses
Sara Pickett and Doris Brock of
Kenansville also Miss Hilda Mallard
of Rosehill, served a delicious fruit
drink. At the close of the games
they served an ice course consist
ing of individual molds of ice cream
in the shape of dahlias in pastel
shades accompanied with dainty par
ty cakes decorated in pastel shades
of flowers. Each guest received a
miniature corsage as a souvenir of
the evening.
