Roosevelt Views
Columbia Basin
AsFarmerH Home

WASHINGTON IF Preside
Roosevelt believes the Columbia
river basin of the Pacific North
west may provide new and per-
mament home for migratory farm
ers such as John Steinbeck depict
ed in his best-selling novel, THE
Grapes of Wrath"
Roosevelt advanced the sugges-
ton Friday night in depressing
from the text of speech before
the White House conference on
children in a democracy.
Roosevelt said the Columbia
basin would offer a suitable haven
for half a million workers, who
now drift from community to COM
munity, constantly in search of a
few days work.
II have read a book" Roosevelt
told the conference. 1T is called
The Grapes of Wrath and there
are 500, 900 Americans that live in
the covers of that book. I would
like to see the Columbia basin de-
voted to the care of 100000 men,
bers of The Grapes of Wrath"

 CONFERENCE
Two Axis Chiefs Discuss
 Situation in Curtain Drawn Coach

Fascist admissions that the war may last a long time.
 Ideas Exchanged
 At the end of a three hour meet ing between Hitler and Mussolinl l ccmmunique was issued declaring within the framework of al or dinary exchange of ideas, Il Duce and the Fuehrer met iH a cordial ~eunicn. conducted within then sphere, and the two Axis chiefs ex- amined all problems confronting the two countries" s
 Beyond this cryptic announce ment there is no immediate offic- ial disclosure of what the Axis Di- rectorate talked about.
 Editor Gayda declares that Hit Ter and Mussolini are so confident of ultimate victory, they can now start drafting great constructive lines of their new aEurepean-Afri- can ediffcen fteE fta flsst'" i'~
 The Fascist Editor also declared that new points decided at Bren- ner Pass are destined to effect deeply the course of the war, po- litical and economic evolution of the continents into which the Axis more directly cuts" Q" t4N "f''- tP .sieft U. s. Discussed e
 Other Italian sources said it is possible that Hitler and Mussolini, conferring behind drawn blinds on Mussolini's armored train discussed relations of the Rome Berlin Axis towards the United States. # { These same sources assert the talks did not concern Russia, Spain, or peace moves.
 Authorized sources in Berlin, commenting on the meeting declar- ed "Remember when both states men met last July two enemy pow CTS were in bad shape Events have a way of casting their shadows be- fore them" s ''st''
 att British Viewpoint
 British commentators in Lcndon took another view, the Govern- ment controlled British 'broadcasting Corporation declared that "appar- ently the Dictators are having diff faculties trying to find some way out. It seems that if each of the Axis partners want to get help from the other and both want to discuss ways and means of keeping the United States out of their fight with Great Britain, both Axis chiefs admitting the United States is yet he big world power" :" s
