Youths Problems
Binns Relates

John II. Binns, state director OF
the NYA, Friday advised members
of the Tacoma Bar association the
problem of youth unemployment
was a matter with which the state
and community should attempt to
cope, rather than placing the en-
tire burden upon the shoulders Of
the federal government.
He said representatives from
both the state and community
should confer with private in
dustry in an effort to find employ
ment for those needing it. He
intimated that such a conference
is to be held in Tacoma during
April.
Approximately $1,000 young
people between the ages of Is and
% are now seeking work in the
state Of Washington, he said.
More than 5000 are finding partial
employment under the NYA BAN
ner, and an additional $500 are
being furnished jobs through the
CCC.
OF the many suggestions offered
to relieve the situation, Binns con-
sidered only five to be worthy Of
mention. They were shorter work.

Polish documents published yes
terday by the German foreign
office asserting that United States
diplomatic ENJOYS abroad shared
responsibility for the outbreak of
war in Europe.
Nazi organs in Berlin and other

the war.
Britons were skeptical of the
Polish documents, which were

Generally, the British interpreted
Russian Premier Molotov's speech

Neutrals Listen

was the Russian alliance.
That made a mockery of the
only thing they had left-pride in
their heroism when they traded
punches with the Communists in
defense of Adolf Hitler in the
very early days Of the movement,
when everybody was tough; be-

is hardest to laugh off, is the one
that makes the most sense:
