work Of great significance and re-
sponsibility cut out for him.
In an interview at the State De-
partment today the tall, angular
featured economist and friend OF
President Roosevelt set forth these
reasons for his belief:
First" he said, Canada is at
war, and her position as a belliger-
ent will give rise to many problems.
Second, she is our neighbor TO
the North, and our relations with
her under the Neutrality Act will
call for constant study.
Third, Canada is becoming q
great manufacturing depot for the
British Empire during the war.
This is especially true in aviation.
Fourth. Canada is our second

The issue between Mr.. Hull and
the Republicans was simply repet-

members of the committee who en-
gagged in debate with Mr.. Hull, after
he finished reading a long statement

protective principles of the Smoot-

of State argued that a good many of
the economic ailments of depression
time came from that vary tariff.
Mr. Treadway granted that he
would admit the merit of the trade
agreements if Mr.. HuAs should be
elected President in November. Ap-
parently, he meant that the Secre-
tary of States election would prove
that the country wanted the low
tariff program as presented by the
trade agreements. AS for himself
he told the committee and Mr.. Hull
that if he wanted to be reelected

WITH THE FINNISH ARCTIC
ARMY, Jan. 12.-The Russian Army,
put to rout on the Central Finnish
front, is making a gigantic effort to
cut path southwark from the Salla
and Petsamo fronts in the Arctic.
The Soviets started twin attack
Wednesday after bringing up of
artillery. The fighting continued
today.
An undisclosed village in the Salla
sector is the only northern position
which the Soviets have been able to
fortify strongly. however. A Finnish
victory there would re-establish the
frontier clear of any enemy forces
southwark to below Suomussalmi in
the "waistline."
Although the Russians have large
forces III the Petsamo district, the
Firms relied upon the intensely cold
weather, with temperatures 25 de-
grees below zero. to prevent de-
cisive encounter before spring.
Guerrilla warfare has prevailed in
the Petsamo area thus far, with
sniping engagements between isolat-
ed units.
Strategy Proves Success.
An 800-mile tour southwark from
the Arctic Circle across Finland at
the coast "bottleneck" to below
Suomussalmi and back to the Arctic
general headquarters provided ample
indication that the strategy of the
Finnish woodsman had proved sue

Where the Russians are endeavor-

plies to their men, the Firms are
using light sledges. Nearly 200
sledges in a single column laden
with food and ammunition headed
toward the front after the Suomus-

skis, the soldiers were visible only

'Unfriend|y Gesture

In Guam Proposal
Moral Threat Is Linked

~ 'AAe nocoSidtCu AeSes
TOXIC, Jan. 12.-Looking with
suspicion on the renewed United
States Navy proposal to improve
harbor facilities at Guam, the jap
anese saw it today as another link
in a chain Of "unfriendly gestures"
toward their Asiatic aspirations.
Japanese naval officers, who con-
slider Guam as an extremely vulner-
able American base, nevertheless

increasingly important to Japan be-
cause of the United States strength
ened policy in the Pacific during the
past year.
They admit privately that Japan
had counted on having virtually a
free hand in the Western Pacific
after 1916, the date now set for Phil
ippine independence.
In their view, the l80th meridian,
the international date line, is the
natural boundary for the United
States naval sphere Of action.
Last year, when the Guam look
out post" was a hot issue in the
United States Congress, Admiral
Mitsumasa Yonai, then minister of
the Navy and now member of the
Japanese war council, said Japan
was not strategically very deeply
concerned.

Aliens, who have been in this
country as Of August 81, 1910, must
be registered and fingerprinted by
December 26th, Of this year, or
face a penalty of $1,000 fine, six
months in jail, or both.
There are still many aliens or

either ignorant Of the law, negli-

After the final date for registra-

any other criminal, and must
suffer the penalty. The government
does not wish to inflict the penalty
upon aliens however, and is maxi

without trouble.
Aliens must register at the post
office, where they will be given
every aid and all assistance neces-
sary to complete registration
Aliens may feel free to call there

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

When should q tenant purchase
q farm?
Land values are higher now than
in the past and conditions are diff
ferent. It Is well to be conservative.
The tenant should wait until he
finds community in which he
would care to live. It should have
suitable public services, organiza-
tions, and social life at reasonable
tax cost. He should have proved
his definite interest in active farm
ing. He should have demonstrated
his ability in farming by accumu-
lating a substantial amount of CAPT
tai from farming operations in ex-
cess of investment in livestock and
equipment. When he has capital
which would be more useful to him
and safer investment in a farm,
then he is ready to purchase. A
tenant should not purchase a farm
because he cannot make a living by
farming as a tenant.-D. G. Dvor-
acek, extension economist.
What Is the relative value of the
different grades of hybrid seed
corn? Are flat kernels more desir-
able from the standpoint Of the
grower than round?
Probably there is little difference
in yielding ability between the flat
and round kernels when both are
planted in such way that equally
good stands are obtained by the
grower. The chief difference, then,
between comparable flat and round
kernels relates to the ease Of plant
ing and the stand that will be OBJ
tanned under normal farm condi-
tions. There is no satisfactory
answer can be made to the question
as it relates to the problem Of the
individual grower. It Is question
of the relative cost and ability of
the grower to obtain equally good
stands with different grades Of seed.
