War In Europe Now In Earnest

During the past week the war
n Europe has taken on d height
ened tempo and has involved
practically all of Europe. The
Nazis, in brief, have been TAX
ng about what they want anG
marching all over Europe, bomb
ing and blasting up the capitals
)f almost all of the small states.
The English and French have so
far did very little to stop them,
he English parliament has not
starred so far in the conflict
he head man of that body was
kicked out last week and a new
one installed. While the English
have been thus occupied with
internal disorders the Germans
have just went ahead and near
won the war. The English navy
has not shown any of the ola
spirit and the miniscule English
army has done better, but the
English have not yet realized
if they do not curb Hitler soon.
England is doomed.
The United States has awok,

mean and is going on the PROPOSE

100000 Shipment
OF Food 10 Poland
To Serve as Test
Close Watch Planned
To Determine Future
Of Lorqe-ScuIe Relief

An early 100000 food shipment
to German-occupied Poland will
serve as test case that may deter
mine the future Of large-scale relief
efforts by private American organi-
cations In that war-ravaged country.
The British government has
agreed to pass relief supplies
through its blockade Of Germany
only on condition that they actually
reach needy Polish civilians and
are not allowed to become of mill
tary value to the Nazis.
The initial big shipment will be
watched closely, it was said, as a
test of the effectiveness of a Ger
man agreement to permit distribu-
ton o. the supplies through Polish
civilian channels under supervision
Of American relief workers.
Maurice Pate, vice president of
the Commission for Polish Relief,
with which former President Hoover
is associated as member of the
Executive Board, said he antici-
pated regular, continuing operations
to follow the initial 100000 ship

Sure Agreement Will Be Kept.

maintain their agreement" Mr..
Pate said, land that as long as they
do the British will let our supplies

He said he would not describe the
first shipment as a test because
there was no reason to expect any
difficulties in proper distribution,
but 1t was said elsewhere that the
British do consider it test on which
future blockade policy in regard
to such shipments will be based.
Meanwhile, Chairman Norman H.
Davis of the American Red Cross
said the distribution of 10 carloads
of medicine and clothing by Red

WALLACE OPPOSES
NEW TRADE PLAN
Does Not Favor Proposal
To Make Nations AT War
Buy Farm Products

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-R-
A market basket" plan of forcing
nations at war to buy farm prod
ucts in the United States along
with purchases of munitions was
frowned upon by Secretary Wal
lace today because, he said, it might
bring retaliations from affected
countries after the war.
For instance, he told the senate
finance committee, an effort to
compel Great Britain to buy tobac-
co here undoubtedly would result
in livery deep resentment against
us and deep distrust of u.s." He
added that feelings of that sort
usually reflect themselves in an
economic way" -
The agriculture department head
was testifying in support of house
approved legislation to extend the
reciprocal trade program three
years beyond it's June - expira'
ton date.
Senator LaFollette (Prog-Wis)
had contended that American farm
ers were getting it in the neck
as the result Of policies of the bel
ligerent nations" He cited an
agreement under which Great Brit
ain had switched most of her to-
bacco purchases from the United
States to Turkey.
LaFollette expressed the view
that something could be done tt
offset secret trade agreements be
tween %belligerents and European
neutrals.
"Aren't we in a position to d.
something about the matter if WI
have the fortitude to do it," hi
demanded.
Wallace replied that the govern
ment had certain powers but HI
did not wish to discuss them fbl
the record.
The secretary said, under LaFol
%lette's questioning, that the mar
ket basket" plan had been men
toned off-hand in his department
along with a possible tax on mum
tons.
Under the market basket" plar
a belligerent who bought mum
tons would have to purchase

Feb. 27.-(Via Wireless)-President
Roosevelt said today that doubling
the present number of planes and

after he had completed a thorough

More Guns Needed
More planes and guns were need

better opportunity to discover any
attacking force-either from the air

been provided heretofore.
