of Rumanian resources at Germany

Of Rumanian resources at Germany 3
disposition.
Rumania. with the help of Ger
man experts, created 10-year
economic development plan of her
own and committed herself to deliver
large quantities of materials to the
Reich.
The agreement, covering agricul-
ture, trade, finance, transport and
industry, was officially described as
taking into account "the new
political relations between the two
states"
German capital and German
technicians are to be employed in
Rumania. To insure delivery of
products, large-scale development
of Rumanian transportation facil-
tiles is an essential part of the To-
year plan.
With an eye to war needs, Ger
many stipulated specifically that
petroleum lines be built and ex-
tended.
The sums to be employed over the
10-year period and the specific
nature of developments contemplate
ed were not disclosed, but obviously
large amounts are involved.
Germans stressed the Importance
of the agreement, declaring, "Ru-
mania now takes its ordered place
in the economic scheme of the new
Europe" and, 1.-THE struggle with
Britain for access to Balkan products
ends in another German triumph"
The Germans maintained, how
ever, that the significance of the
step transcribed the needs of war,
saying that the basis for post-wa,
trade thus was being established.

Better Bulgarian Relations
Hailed by Ankoro Press

ANKARA, Dec. 5 (P).-In an edi-
torial published in today's issue, the
semi official paper illus praised re-
cent improvement in Turkish-Bul-
garian relations and added:
1--WE have always appreciated the
fact that there are certain injustices
to Bulgaria which should be
amended"
Presumably this referred to Bull
garian territorial claims involving
Thrace and Macedonia, through
which Bulgaria wants an outlet to
the AEGEAN Sea. Macedonia is part
of Greece, while the ancient land
of Thrace is partly in Greece and
partly in Turkey)
I'VE never have lost the belief
that these adjustments could be
made by peaceful means and with a
spirit of reconciliation" the illus
editorial said.

New Turkish Accord
Is Blow 10 Hitler,
British Declare
Called Wedge Against
Nuzi Efforts to Add
To Axis Orbit
By TIE Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-Britons today
termed a new financial agreement
with Turkey, second step in
Britain's recently intensified dip
lomatic activity, a wedge against
German efforts to draw the guardian
of the Dardanelles into the eco
nomic orbit of the axis.
The Financial Times said the
agreement, signed yesterday, was
an especially bitter blow to Hitler
because there is reason to believe
the Germans were about to put
forward tempting proposals to the
Turks"
Diplomatic circles viewed the
treaty as an important commercial
move and vigorous political stroke
as well and declared it to be a
direct challenge to economic
domination in the Balkans" by
Germany as represented by yester-
days signing of a 10-year Ru-
manian-German trade and eco
nomic pact.
Move to Speed up Deliveries.
Uniformed circles in Bucharest
predicted increased railroad,
highway and pipeline construc-
ton to speed up the delivery of
oil to Germany would result from
the pact Lack of adequate
transportation facilities has
been the principal bottleneck in
the delivery of Rumanian oil to
the Reich, it was said. The
development of Rumania as an
agriculture adjunct to the Ger
man industrial machine also
was foreseen)
Details of the BritiSh-Turkish
agreement, which followed closely
a commercial accord between Spain
and Britain, were not made public
but it was understood generally
that the United Kingdom Com
mercial Corp. set up last April would
play a big part in arranging sales
and purchases.
At the same time, experts ex-
pected purchases under the agree
ment would run into millions Of
pounds sterling, with Turkey send
ing Britain mainly agricultural prod
ucts in exchange for woolens, cotton
locomotives, wagons and munitions
Free to Develop Economy.
"Under the new arrangement" the
Times declared, Turkey will be free
to develop her economy in CO. opera
ton with the British Empire On
our side we now effectively challenge
the great German share of the
Turkish market"
The accord, which the Foreign
Office announced both governments
hoped would bring about consid-
cradle increase in their trade" pro-
vides that payments between Turkey
and nations of the sterling area be
made at the existing rate of eX-
change between the Turkish lire
and the pound sterling.
1t compliments trade and pay
ments pact signed between Britain
and her acknowledgement ally in the
Near East last February and also
stipulates that special accounts" be
created to facilitate commercial and
other payments between Turkey and
the British Empire.

WHAT NEXT

Out in Merced, California, two hus-
bands got tired of turning ice cream
freezers by hand every time their
families wanted the homemade des-
sert. They put their heads together
and wondered why "churner thing"
could not be incorporated into electric
refrigerators to provide the necessary
agitation and cold to freeze ice cream.
After month of experimentation, the
two husbands filed an application for
patent on device they designed.
AS worked out now, it is made so
that it can be built into the freezing
compartment of an electric refrigera-
tor and operated by an auxiliary mo-
tor which powers a churn to agitate
the contents. The ice cream is frozen
by the same coils now used in electric
refrigerators. After freezing the ice
cream to desired consistency, the
machine is geared automatically to
stop churning of the mixture. Re-
suit? Husbands can stay in their
easy chairs.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

color press, in itself an innovation in
daily newspaper publishing.
There are no headlines, no date
lines and no comics. The paper sells
for nickel.
The big innovation, of course, is the
fact that the newspaper industry has
been introduced to a daily newspaper
publishing three editions per day, and
which will depend for its revenue sole
ly upon street sales and subscrip-
tions. While officials of the paper
are reticent about their operating
costs, those in position to know say
that the paper will make profit for
it's owners when it passes its 300,000th
subscription.
In many other ways, the paper is a
journalistic innovation. The news
dispatches, even from the press SER
vices, have no usual leads in the strict
newspaper sense. The news is inter-
preted, explained and editorialized
The policy of the paper seems to ex-
press liberality and social conscious
ness not usually found part of the
policy of the average daily newspa-
per in New York or elsewhere.
The first days edition ran about
80 pages, stapled in the manner OF
magazine. To all outward appear
ance it is a magazine, a daily news
magazine.
To some informed observers, Pm
is blazing a new path in Americas
journalism, although cutting the new
path may be hard job. Perhaps ter
years from now, all of the nations
press will resemble PM in form ano
makeup After all there has to bt
a beginning. 1t is anybody's guess
but as always the newspaper reader
will have the final say because with
out readers there can be no paper.

FRIDAY, JUNE %, 1910.
TRAINING WITH A PURPOSE

Labor is interested in the compul-
sorry youth service plan outlined by
the President at one of his semi
weekly press conferences. Generally
speaking, the President said the plan
envisaged some form of compulsory
military service for the youth of the
land.
Age limits of 19 to 21, for both men
and women are spoken of as the de-
sirable minimum and maximum, al
though much of the rest of the plan
is still vague except that the one
year compulsory government service
would not be strictly military, in the
sense that drilling, military tactics,
and the use of firearms would not be
stressed.
In modern war, technicians and
skilled workers behind the lines are
as important as the tank drivers and
airplane pilots and generals. If the
draftees are to be taught trades, la
bar has a more than direct interest
in the proposed conscription because
heretofore in many skills, teaching
new men and women certain kinds of
trades, simply added to the unem-
ployed in seasonable and idle indus
tries, or tended to depress the wage
levels in others by the simple law
of supply and demand.
If the government will make sure
that what these boys and girls learn
in their one year service will stand
them in hand in peace time and not
add to the ranks of the unemployed,
all will be well. Or if it teaches them
skills useful only to the military
branches of the government, every
thing will still be all right. However
if the training given usurps regulated
apprenticeship programs, then organ
lied labor is more than Interested.

Machine VS.. Man Study
Now Underway Here

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Leg-
islation directing the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics of the Department of
Labor to study labor and production
costs in manufacturing mining, trans
portation, distribution and other in
dustries, is now law following recent
presidential signature.
Between 100000 and 100000
men were unemployed because of la
bor-saving devices put into use since
1929, the labor statistics bureau said
in making ready for the study on
productivity and labor costs. The
House Labor Committee which au-
thorized the law said it needs the in
formation produced from the study
to prevent chronological unemploy-
ment."

MINIMUM WAGE
LAWS BROADENED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) .-Exten-
sion of the Connecticut minimum
wage law to men as well as women,
and the issuance of 20 new orders un-
der existing State minimum-wage
legislation, setting minimum rates for
women workers in certain industries,
were among the significant develop
ments in State minimum-wage legis-
lation during the past year, states the
Women's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor.
GAS a result of the 20 new orders
issued during the past year, the bene-
fits of State minimumwage legisla
tion have been extended to an addi
tional 10000 women" Miss Mary
Anderson, Director of the Bureau,
pointed out. at is significant that al
most two-thirds of these recent wage
orders apply to service for -intra-
State industries not covered by the
Fair Labor Standards Act"
Two new laws passed in 1889 in
clude one for Maine limited in scope
to the fish-packing industry and a
general law enacted for women work
ers in Alaska, bringing altogether now
about 100000 women under State
minimum-wage laws in 26 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
Alaska.
Twenty-Five states do not have this
type of legislation.
Local Difficulties Settled
Referring to the several State mini
mum wage laws that have been in
volved in court cases during recent
years, due to the administrative pro-
cedure followed by some state labor
departments, the Women's Bureau ex.
planned that most of these local diff
culties had been satisfactorily settled

Public Housing Rentals
Are Below Average

Washington, D. c. (ILNS). Rent
ais in public housing projects con-
structed thus far average 1925 per
month less than present rentals for
slum habitations in the same COM
munities, according to report just
released by the United States Housing
Authority. The report covers the
first 49 public housing projects for
which rents have been approved.
The average monthly shelter rental
is $13.38 per home in the 40 projects
which are located in 33 communities
in 13 states. 15,943 low-income fam
lilies, or about $1,000 persons will oc-
cupy the newly completed homes.
Tenants for all USHA-aided public
housing projects are selected entirely
by the local housing authorities, Off
cials explain. The local authorities,
operating under local laws are COM
posed of representative local men and
women, who plan, build, own, manage
and select the tenants for all of their
housing projects.
The estimated average income of
the families to be rehoused in the
first 49 USHA projects will be about
$782 year, or approximately $65 a
month, the lowest average income be-
ing around $470 for tenants in Day
tona Beach, Florida. The highest
average is $1,110 for project in

We see by the papers that Cover
nor Lehman of New York has ordered
the State Planning Council to begin
Immediately an inventory of the
States industrial resources as related
to the national defense program. Ac-
cording to the story, the order was
issued after conference with the
chairman of the Council.
After that body has made it's re-
port, public hearings will be held to
which leaders of labor and industry
are to be invited.
The chairman of the State Plan
ming Council has expressed some con-
Germ over an alleged migration of
industry from the State within the
past two years. In the same breath
he indicated that he was anxious to
determine whether or not some in
dustries might leave the State because
of its proximity to the Eastern sea-
board and its position on the Can
adian border
The industrial resources inventory
will parallel similar survey now
under way by Freda S. Miller, State
Industrial Commissioner so that all
the facts will be known. Miss Miller
is using as the basis of her study the

STATES BOOST
OLD AGE GRANTS

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Four
states Illinois, Kentucky, Mississip-
pi and Virginia, have increased their
old age pension maximums as a re-
suit of action of their 1910 legisla-
lures.
Topped by Illinois, which raised
"pension" maximums from $50 to $40
person per month, Kentucky and
Mississippi increased maximum grants
from $15 to $50, while Virginia
struck out a provision in it's old age
assistance act which had included any
and all income of the person aided in
the $2O-a-month maximum grant.
A $30-a-month maximum in 26
states is the common provision. Four
other states allow $50 a month to
needy aged individuals, but provide
$45 to $50 for married couples. Ala
bama, another $30-state, allows a
maxamum of $50 month to needy
aged veterans. A number of the
states include in their maximums any
private income of the individual.
Colorado Leads
Six states and the District of Co.
lumbia set no statutory limit on old
age assistance. The states are Ar
kansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana,
| New Mexico and New York. This
does not mean, however, that the aid
actually given is limitless; in fact,
one of these states makes the lowest
actual average grants in the country.
The highest grant of state old age
assistance to individuals is specified
by Colorado, which with Alaska, sets
a maximum of $45 month Prior
to the Illinois increase, California,
New Jersey and Wisconsin provided
for maximum grants of $40 in 1889
amendments anticipating the increase
of federal contributions to $40 per
person. Wyoming, specifying aid
sufficient for decency and health
estimated at about $30-in a 1889
amendment, provided also that "any
increase in federal grants may be fol-
lowed by an increase in the amount of
assistance"
