Petoin Expected to Quit
II Nozis Give UItimotum
By HELEN KIRKPATRICK.

Dy hEALlN nInhI n Nun,
chicaso Daily News Foreign Correspondent
LONDON, Dec. 28.-According to
the best information available in
London, and contrary to all reports
from Lisbon, the Petain government
has not received any ultimatum from
Germany and is still determined. in
event Of such an ultimatum, to resist.
In case of German ultimatum
requiring France to hand over her
ports and the French feet for action
against Britain, Marshal Petain
would resign and two leaders of
Frances armed forces-Navy Min
lister Admiral Jean Darlan and War
Minister Gen. Charles Huntziger-
would go to North Africa.
At the same time, the position of
Frances outlying possessions has
been clarified by conversations at
Vichy and elsewhere. Gen. Charles
de Gaulle has been recognized as de
facto governor of the territories he
has occupied. but is understood to
have given solemn undertaking
that at the end of the war he will
follow any decision regarding his
future which may be taken by the
French National Assembly.
Free Regime Seen for Syria.
It is possible that an independent
free French government will be set
up in Syria.
The French fleet and French ports
will never be handed over to Ger
many. Admiral Darlan and Gen.
Maxine Weygand, the latter now in
North Africa, both are anti-British,
but they are even more intensely
German. The passage Of
French ships through Gibraltar,
now bound for Dakar and Casa
blanca, at least makes certain they
will not fall into German or Italian
hands.
It can be stated categorically that
all Of French Africa is so bitterly
anti German that several attempts
by the Germans to send commits
sions and newspapermen down
there-notably after the De Gaulle
battle at Dakar-had to be called
of for fear all French Africa would
60 to De Gaulle Loyalty to the
vichy government and an anti-De
Gaulle stand was obtained in sew
eral places, again notably in Dakar,
by the promise of the Governors
that not a single German would be
allowed to set foot on French Afri-
can soil.
When Italy's position in Albania
became acute, German troops were
assembled on the frontier between
occupied and unoccupied France
German railwaymen were sent
southwark through the German
zone preparatory to transporting
German troops to Italy by way of
France. Broad hints were dropped
in Vichy and Paris as to the ad-
visibility of allowing German troops
to pass through unoccupied France
Marshal Petain fatty refused.
Laval Reinstatement Refused.
Then came the dismissal on
December 13 of Pierre Laval (as
vice premier and Foreign Minister)
who Is Britains greatest enemy
The Germans were very angry and
demanded his reinstatement. Mar
shal Petain refused and threatened
to publicize to the world Mr.. Laval's
actions.
NJ Laval is working determinedly
and by every tricky means of which
he is capable to assist the Germans
to defeat Britain, but he does not
want France to fight again. War
! curtails M. Laval's ability to make
money-reputedly his sole concern.
YHe has already taken over and sold
to the Germans three national
French organizations of which one

PRESS OPPOSE DISCRIMINATION

Association passed this significant resolution by unanim-
Gus vote Resolved that is the belief this Association
that retail merchandising which intimately touches the
pocketbooks OF wage and consumers generally
should be free from all unjust punitive and discriminatory
taxation, local. state and Federal in whatever form i'm

This Is not isolated instance-press associations

highly important fact. For Americas working news

full well that millions of families have an exceedingly

Cotton Trade

the 10 cotton producing states, un-
der leadership of Oscar Johnston,
president of the organization, to-
day Joined in the fight for Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull's reci-
procal trade agreements program.
In a statement launching activi-
ty in behalf of the trade agree
ments program by local commit
tees in 752 counties, Mr.. Johnston
declared that continuance of the
reciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram is our greatest Immediate
hope for solving cotton's all-im-
portant foreign trade problem"
The Cotton Belt, more than any
section of the United States, must
have foreign trade, Mr.. Johnston
pointed out "The economic life,

The Coolidge examiner., 1940-02-22

the total AREA Of the nation, de-
pends upon the development and
maintenance Of export markets for
cotton and cottonseed products.
"If foreign markets are to be
denied our cotton industry, 1t
necessarily follows that production
must be placed on a purely do
mestic basis. This would mean a
further curtailment of cotton acre
age, a disastrous displacement of
labor and a serious disturbance
Of our national agricultural econ
omy.
Our normal planting of 40
million acres already has been
curtailed to "a million. The cur
tailment has adversely affected
the economy of the Cotton Belt
and could not have been achived
without the expenditure of hun
dreds Of millions of dollars from
the Treasury of tie United States
as soil conservation payments,
cotton adjustment payments, and
cotton loans.
Notwithstanding these drastic
measures, the carryover in Am
erica amounted to 13,032,513 bales
on last August 1. We believe that
through the reciprocal trade agree
ments program 1t is possible to de
velop and maintain export markets
for our surplus cotton and cotton
seed products.

OF MICE AND A MORAL

For ten years Cornell Universi-
ty scientists have been conducting
diet experiments with white rats,
which in 700 days live the equival-
ent of a 70-year human life-span
Divided into three groups, all got
all essential vitamins, minerals
and proteins, but with different
calory intake. One group ate as
much as it pleased, one was put
on a diet in middle age, one kept
hungry from youth. Last week
Professor Leonard A. Maynard an
nounced.
The eat-as-they-please rats had
the shortest life-span. those that
went on a diet in middle age lived
longer. The oldest rat, which lived
1,4O0 days equivalent to 14O
years., never had square meal
in his life. Moral: keep thin to-
live long.

BETTER TIMES ON THE FARM

Better marketing for agriculture is not a selfish
goal, because it will help the producer and consumer
like" said L. j. Taber National Grange Master recently
The consuming population depends upon the farmer
for constant never-faing supply of high quality food
products. More orderly efficient marketing bet
ter and wider variety of foods for millions of homes This
has been thoroughly proven in those where agr
cultural marketing cooperation has been most highly de-
veoped.
On top of that, the farmer constitutes the lorgest
single market for the products of factories Clothing
machinery, automobiles, insurance policies, building
materials newspapers and magaznes-the farmer spends
hundreds of millions of dollars for such things each
Increased farm income thus means more jobs and more
opportunities for business and industrial workers.
Better times the farm means better times every
where.

Miss Walker, who came to Ari-
Zona from San Antonio, Tex, late
