ted 1874 through the season and .438
in the big series, we decided during
the train celebration that followed
to leave the baleful influence of Bill
Dickey and Joe Gordon and to look
up Strong Man Keller.
Keller finally compromised on a
bottle of cold milk. He admitted
milk was about the strongest drink
he had ever taken.

the squad-one of those willing to

taken to his heart. He was the type
OF athlete willing to sacrifice every

FREEZING CHINESE FUNDS

4 1LClC was OllG ullWIlItGl ClldpCeT
in the story of American freezing of
funds of those two Oriental neigh
bors, Japan and China.
1t was published that the funds
of friendly China were frozen as
well as the funds of unfriendly
Japan. But unpublished was the
fact that China for four months had
been asking the state department
to freeze it's funds, but the state de-
partment had refused.
Chlna's request was quite unusual,
for most nations object strenuously
to having their funds frozen. For
instance, Switzerland, hearing that
she would be included with Ger
many when Hitler's funds were fro
zen, argued for weeks.
But in the case of China, many
of her funds are in the hands of big
Chinese merchants and bankers in
Shanghai, who for business reasons
are playing with the Japanese. And
they have been draining Chinese
currency from the country.
So Roosevelt's special Chinese
emissary, Lauchlin Currie, was re-
quested by Chang Kai-shek to ask
Secretary of State Hull to freeze
Chinese funds. This would have ham
strung the prof. Japanese Chinese.
However, Secretary Hull refused.
Twice Chang Kai-shek made the re-
quest, but both times it was refused.
In fact the state department even
denied that such a request was
made, presumably on the ground
that it came not through diplomatic
channels, but through Mr.. Currie
who is only White House secre-
tary.
Finally, however, when Japanese
funds were frozen, Chang Kai-shek
got his request fulfilled. But it took
japanese aggression in the South
Pacific to do it.
BOOTLEG GASOLINE
The days of bootlegging from
Canada may be coming back again.
In this case, however, the bootleg
ging will be gasoline, not alcohol.
Canada has imposed ban on sale
OF gasoline between p. m. and 7
a. m. on weekdays, and all day Sum
day. But this restriction does not
apply to Americans.
Now comes the proposal of Oil
Administrator Ickes to impose
similar ban on gasoline sales in
eastern states. Result would be
that motorist would be unable to
buy gasoline in Buffalo or Detroit,
but could cross the river and buy it
in Canada.
MERRY-GO-ROUND
ADMINISTRATORS are quietly
throwing their weight behind the
candidacy of Francis Miller, mill
tant New Dealer, for the Virginia
legislature. Miller is being opposed
by the Old Guard machine led by
Sen. Harry Byrd.
To out-of-town friends who call on
him, President Roosevelt is present

Doyle. The President says he con-
siders the booklet the best summa-
ton of the American creed he has

FOOD FOR BRITAIN

In the headlines, lend-lease aid to
Britain is chiefly story of planes,
tanks, ships, guns and munitions.
But these dramatic war supplies are
only one part of the picture.
An equally vital, though little
known, phase of this gigantic pro-
gram is food.
Today, practically every ship
leaving U. S. shores for embattled
England carries stocks of food as
part of its cargo. Also significant
is the fact that this steady flow of
food shipments differs markedly
from those of World war days.
Then the foodstuffs were in bulk
form-boatloads of grain and fresh
meats. But now, with British and
Allied shipping suffering terrible de-
struction, there aren't enough bot
toms to transport both bulky arma-
ments and bulky food across the
hazardous Atlantic.
Since the cargo space for bulky
ornaments cannot be reduced, and
with the British food situation be-
coming acute, food is being shipped
in concentrated and dehydrated
form. Thus it is carried in the
same ships with arms and NUM-
tons, taking up relatively little
space.
The extent of these shipments and
what they meant to the American
farmer is shown graphically by the
following list Of lend-lease food pur-
chases in very recent seven-Week
period:
American cheese, 2O,483, It's
pounds; corn starch, 35,S2O,OOO
pounds; frozen eggs, $685. $50
pounds; dried eggs, 4,458,65O
pounds; canned fish, 1893, 052 cases;
dehydrated soup, 100000 pounds;
soy beans, 100000 pounds; dried
beans, 40,770,0O0 pounds; corn
sugar, 5,696,O00 pounds; engines,
1850 pounds; dried apricots, 1885,
600 pounds; honey, 1857, 300 pounds;
enriched flour, $4,000 pounds; con-
centrated orange juice, 92,3O2 gall
Ions; vitamin A, 2,547, 1873 units, vi
tamin B1, 1865 kilograms; peanut
butter, 1,762,000 pounds; lard, 49,
662,72 pounds.
Note-Management of the lend
lease food program is under the
Surplus Marketing administration,
aided by the U. S. public health
service, the British ministry of
health and the Anglo-American food
purchasing committee.

High celebration of New
Years in Tacoma was an
event staged with virtually
no illicit liquor trade as 194l
dawned.
Bootleg business suffered
knockout blow from state liquor
enforcement agents after
lengthy battle.
The new year found the city's
major bootleg joints along
"Guzzler's Gulch" locked tight
for the first time in years, insofar
as bootleg booze was concerned.
Court records showed the con-
slant hammering of a group of
three men. constituting the state
enforcement group here, respon-
sible for the cleanout.
Court records likewise show

liquor raids. The picture since has

and county justice courts showed
a record of almost constant viola
