Soviet Continues
'Siand-0ffish' to
Hiiler's Advances
By HENRY SHAPIRO

MOSCOW, Nov. 25. CUP)-For-
eign observers believed today that
the Soviet Union has made no
commitments to the Axis powers
and continues to stand on a policy
of neutrality entirely outside the
Axis.
This belief was based on several
developments which led diplomatic
sources to declare they had no
reason to believe that the attitude
of the Soviet Union toward the tri-
partite pact had changed since the
statement of position made by
FraVda, Sept. 30. shortly after an
nouncement of signing of the Berlin.
Rome. Tokyo pact.
On that occasian Pravda implied
that the alliance was directed pri-
marily against the United States
and added:
True TO its policy of peace the
neutraliy Of Soviet Union can con-
firm that insofar as this will de-
pend upon the Soviet Union this
policy remains and will remain un-
changed"
It was said that there was no
indicated that the visit of Premier
Foreign Commissar Viacheslav Mo-
lotov to Berlin had made any
change in this respect.
In support of this belief, dip
lomatic sources pointed to the Of
fetal denial made Friday through
lass. official news agency, that the
kremlin had prior knowledge of, or
had approved fully, Hungary's ad-
herence to the tri-partite alliance.
Foreign observers interpreted this
denial as clear emphasis that the
Soviet Union is not committed and
stands entirely outside the Axis.
However, it was believed that
the appointment of V. G. Dekanosov,
vice commissar for foreign affairs,
as Soviet Ambassador to Berlin
presaged an activisation of Soviet
German friendship pact and in pur-
suance Of he conversations which
Molotov had in Berlin.

BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 16.-Pro-
posed union of two large Protestant
denominations moved a step nearer
today as the Episcopal General Con-
vention advised its members to at
tend a Presbyterian church 'if the
miniStrations of this church are not
accessible"
The House of Bishops approved
resolution advising Episcopalians
living in communities without a
church of their faith to associate
themselves with a Presbyterian con-
gregation."
No Present Action.
Delegates emphasized, however,
that no attempt toward actual mer-
ger would be taken at the present
triennial convention.
The resolution, noting "the decla-
ration of purpose of this church
and the Presbyterian Church of the
United States of America to achieve
organic union" provided that an
Episcopal commission named at the
1887 convention to study the pro-
posal continue its work.
Bishop Frank E. Wilson of Eau
Claire, Wis, told the bishops that
at a meeting of the commission last
June only 6 of its 13 members
favored the merger.

States Department of Agriculture
in Washington last week at which
economists of the country gave
their opinions on the situations.
The 1941 outlook is for improved
domestic demand for farm products
higher general average of prices,
and larger total income from mar
ketings. Farm income, including
government payments, it is believ-
ed, may be the largest since 1929
1t is pointed out, however, that
increased costs of commodities
and services used in farm produc-
ton, such as higher wages, larger
machinery costs, increased costs
of living, ETC., will cancel a part
of the gain in farm income.
Mr.. Nystrom cautions farmers
that the prosperous conditions
which we seem to be facing for the
next year or two may be short
lived. Farmers should keep in
mind, he says, that after the per-
iod of defense expenditures and
war conditions are over there may
come tremendous let-down and
depressed conditions such as we
have not yet experienced.
Farmers in the best position as
to prices and income, in the opin-
ion of Mr. Nystrom, are those pro
ducing for the domestic market =
producers of dairy and poultry pro-
