clate receiving adv1ceS That the sic
uation has been corrected"
The memorandum was made
public without comment. No one in
of1cial quarters would admit that
relations between Britain and the
United States have become strain
ed. But the series Of irritating in.
cidents were said to be doing rela-
tons no good.
The conference between Berle
and Lothian took place only about
an hour before Britain made public
in London its reply to Hull's protest
Of December "a over British inter-
ference with American mails. The
government had been given the
text Of the British reply four days
earlier. Hull and his associates
were displeased with the British
stand in that controversy. The tone
Of the latest protest was believed to
have voiced some Of that displeas-
ure.
Attached to the aide memoire
was listing Of specific delays to
American vessels In the Mediter-
ranean area. Nine vessels, eight be-
longing to the American Export
Lines and one to Lykes Brothers
Steamship Company, which had en-
countered delays, were named.
No Cooperation Britain
London, Jan. az (UP)-British
government spokesman claimed to-
day that lack Of American coopera-
ton with British contraband control
officials was responsible for the
United States complaints that Amer
lean shipping was subjected to long
delays at Gibraltar.
The foreign ONCE said that the
trouble leading to the U. 8. protest
was "transitory and technical" and
that there was no discrimination
against American shipping. The de-
part,ment Of state charged in, an aide
memoire that American ships were
delayed three times as long as Ital-
ian vessels by the Gibraltar block
ade of1lcials.
Asserting in effect that the Ameri-
can ships should comply more fully
with the British desires, a Spokes-
man said that the detention OF Ital-
ian vessels was shortened by the fact
that many carry bulk cargoes like
oil or grain and are easier OF ex-
anime.
Garry Mixed Cargoes
The American ships, he pointed
out, carry large mixed cargoes with
as many as 800 items to be scruti-
nized and naturally It takes longer.
The spokesman also said that the
Italian lines seemed to be much more
ready to give "black diamond" or
hold-back guarantees which enable
the British authorities at Gibraltar
to allow their ships to proceed on
the condition that the cargo Is not
released to the consignees until the
British agree on the understanding
that otherwise the cargo will be
shipped back to the control base.
The Italians have introduced into
bills Of lading clause by which the
consignees accept this arrangement.
United States companies like the
American Export line are not nearly
as willing to give hold-back guaran-
tess, the spokesman said, and the
British have been receiving little adj
vance information regarding car
goes on American ships.

HOGS ARE HOGS

In one respect at least the farmer
has the edge on the manufacturer,
merchant or business man of the
city. Through marketing cooperative
organizations. farmers. by group
action, can dispose of their products
quickly and at a maximum price. A
single manufacturer, on the other
hand. must maintain his own sales
men, and they must he better sales
men than those of his competitor
next door. He must train them and
furnish them transportation, on the
gamble that they will sell enough
goods to reimburse all costs and
leave a little profit. He must always
be on guard against the possibility
OF competitor thinking up a new
model" that might overnight leave
him without a market for his pro-
duct.
Marketing cOOperatives are the
modern farmers statesmen" The
farmer does not have TO worry about
new models. Hogs are hogs. They
have not changed materially since
the days of King Tut. Neither have
cows and the milk they give.
iBM lthef job of ~seIIfng" Which Ahe
marketing cO-Ops do, is not simple
just because there are no new mod
els to contend with. Their business
is TO help the farmer maintain ready
market5 and stable distribution for
time-honOred necessities of life-nOt
automobiles. face cream and luxury
gargets. but the products of Ameri-
cas- farms.
