An Expert
Appraises
The War
By j. W. r. MASON
United Press War Expert


Extension OF the British block
ade TO Portugal and Spain is
Great Britain's reply to agitations
among pro-Nazi spaniards for an
attack against Gibraltar. Essen
tisl Spanish supplies now are
locked out of the country, espe-
cislly oil. without which a con-
tinuous offensive against Gibraltar
would be difficult with slight hope
Of success.
Great Britain, however. has
agreed to allow Spain TO import
enough wheat for present con-
sumption. This concession i'm
plies that the Spanish government
has no considerable quantity of
grain in storage, which is another
reason why Spaip can i'll afford
TO become a belligerent.
The wheat supply, granted by
Britain, would be cut off If Gen.
eral Franco succumbed to the
extremists who want to assault
Gibraltar, and the Spanish people
would go hungry from the firing
of the first gun.
The German and Italian propa-
gsnda services recently have
ceased to discuss impending at
tscks on Gibraltar, as though there
were little present hope that Spain
could be induced to risk such an
adventure.
The whole Atlantic and North
sea coast OF Europe is now under
British blockade. constituting
Britain's frightened squeeze against
Germany. Important evidence of
the increasing effect of the block
ade is contained in the announce
ment that Danish cattle are being
slaughtered for food under German
orders because there is not enough
fodder to keep the animals as
productive supplies for milk and
butter.
Denmark has not enough graz
ing land for her great dairy farms
and has been accustomed to i'm
port cattle fodder to sustain her
herds. Germany. likewise, has in
sufficient grass for cattle and two
years before the war began the
German government was forced to
limit fodder.
The British blockade, cutting off
Danish supplies, has made the
occupation of Denmark of no more
than temporary use to Germany,
as far as food is concerned.
Cattle can be killed only once.
But II they could be maintained
alive in Denmark, Germany would
have continuous supply of butter
and milk, which are among the
essential needs of the German
people. Germany probably can OBJ
tain enough grain this coming
winter by confiscating harvest in
conquered territories. But hence
forth milk, butter, and fats are
certain to be depleted seriously,
with danger TO the general health
Of the German people.
The power Of the British block
ade is destined to reveal itself
with more intensive vigor as the
summer passes into autumn and
winter, while the reverse will hap
pen to the German blockade of
the British Isles. The rough
autumn and winter weather in the
air and at sea increases the diff
culties Of submarines and aircraft
operations, anys only
blockading weapons.
Attacks on British food ships
hence will give Germany more
trouble. beginning with September,
when the calm summer weather
off Great Britain begins TO change.
The British patrol ships. on block
ade duty, for their part will have
less difficulty evading German
submarines and air bombing. due
to adverse weather hampering
enemy attacks.

SARDINERS NEGOTIATE


Sardine-buyers and the United
Fishermen's union (CIO) are con-
tinuing protracted negotiations re-
garding price. and both factions
said Friday there appears little
hope" for an early settlement.
About 1000 Pacific Coast sardine
fishermen are affected.
Fishermen are asking s11 a ton
equal to last years price, but
buyers firmly declare 80 ton is
their best offer in view of the
European war which has ruined
the market.
Meanwhile, the dispute over the
price of Alaska herring had been
settled Friday and about 500 boats
have left for the fisheries. A
price Of seven cents barrel was
obtained by the fishermen.

Nazi Press Launches
Attacks Upon Sweden

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-R-The Ger
man press launched a concentrate I
attack today on the Swedish gov
eminent and press, charging thai
certain newspapers in Sweden de-
%liberately insult Germany.
Adolf Hitier:s newspaper Voelk.
ischer Beobachter headed the pro.
cession by finding fault with the
Swedish government for reprimand-
ing one paper which asserted that
the British occupation forces in Ice
land had resorted to terrorism, but
failing to reprimand another which
charged that terrorism was used in
Germany.
The B erliner Boersenzeitung
found the Swedish press unneutral
in permitting criticism of Hitler's
Sportspalast speech of Sept. 4 fore
casting intensified air assaults on
England.
The Danzig Vorposten, official
Nazi organ in the former Free City,
was n of the most outspoken. 1t
said Germany simply can not stand
for an unfriendly press policy in a
neighbor country.

SPINSTER STAYS
LIFELONG FRIEND
Miss Mary Jones Held In
Brutal Clubbing OF
Miss Lottie Booth

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., N. Y,
Sept. Observation-Disclosures attempt
ed today to draw from the incoher-
emit u~tterances of a socially promi.
nent spinster the details of a furi.
GUS Sunday morning fight in which
her lifelong friend, a woman attor-
ney, was dubbed to death.
The victim was Miss Lottie Wash
ington Booth, so, law graduate OF
New York university and once a
specialist in patent litigation in New
York. Police held on a charge OF
homicide Miss Mary E. B. Jones,
A. They had lived together for ten
years in Miss Booths 100000 West
chester county home in which the
death struggle occurred.
When Patrolnlan Frank McCaff
rey, answering neighbors' summons,
arrived at the estate he said he
found Miss Jones still vigorously
raining blows on her victim.
On the basis of stories supplied
by neighbors and tradesmen, police
thought the pair might have quar-
relied over money.
Shattered and bloodstained furni-
ture and furnishings throughout the
home indicated the women ha6
fought through many rooms.
Miss Booths battered body was
found between the kitchen and di
nette, said Police Chief John J.. Dun
nigan, who added:
"As nearly as we car learn, Miss
Jones finally caught up with Mis-:
Booth and felled her with an ole
Windsor chair. The chair broke ani
parts of it we're used owe Mis-:
Booths head"
Miss Jones was taken to the psy
chopathic ward of nearby Grass
lands hospital. DR.. Frank Harnder
Of Pittsfield, Mass, brother-in-lav
said the woman had been committed
to a Long Island sanitarium some
years ago and had remained there
less than a year.

In Washington
BY u CATION

WASHINGTON, Although a lot
of government economists don't
quite believe it, the best don't
quote-me guess of experts close
to the defense picture is that the
defense program should open up
something like $500, 900 new jobs
before the end of 1871.
That guess is based on estimates
not yet formally tabulated-of
the number of new workers that
will be needed if the nations in
dustrial machine is to turn out the
kinds and quantities of things re-
quired in the rearmament drive.
Nor is that all. When a number
of men go from idleness to steady
Jobs, a somewhat smaller addition
al number of men get jobs in bust
nesses able to expand because the
original group is getting pay
checks regularly again. Opinions
differ as to the ration between
these two groups; but the same
statisticians who are figuring on a
unemployment of 1850, 900 in the
defense industries are estimating
this unemployment will mean jobs
for better than 5000, 900 others.
All of which, if it comes true,
would be likely to have a profound
effect on the whole unemployment
and-relief picture.
The government does not know
exactly how many jobless people
there are. The U. S. Employment
Service has $500, 900 unemployed
workers on its rolls; probably that
doesn't cover all of them, but opin-
ious differ as to the number it
leaves out. It is pretty generally
agreed, however, that a 1000, 900
rise in the number of jobs would
just about take care of all of the
employable persons now unemploy-
ed.
In other words, the country
would be within reasonable dis
lance of that tabled, long-ago era
in which it could honestly be said
that any ablebodied nan who
really wanted a job could get one.
Apparently, however, there is a
catch in it.
MOST UNEMPLOYED
ARE UNSKILLED
The reservoir of unemployed con
sists mainly of unskilled workers.
Only 900, 900 of those listed with
the Employment Service, for in
books as skilled workers." Many
more are doubtless semi-skilled;
but it is figured that half or more
of the jobless are men whose sole
qualifications are muscle and will
ingness.
Something is being done to
remedy that situation. The indus
try-training program now under
way figures to fit 900, 900 men for
skilled jobs within a year. That
won't take care of all the unskilled,
however, and the current belief is
that IF all of this unemployment
does take place, a huge number OF
the men who go back to work will
have to acquire their new skills on
the job. This is perhaps modified
by the calculation that a number
Of the anticipated new jobs won't
require high degrees Of skill.
NO AFFECT
ON WPA
Oddly enough, though, WPA rolls
might not shrink hand-in-hand with
the unemployment.
If most of the unemployed are
unskilled, that is even more true
of the people on WPA, of whom
