That would be a grand way to
dampen American war ardor-this

side of red Russia. Anything n
elaborate and devious as this would
be right on Baron Won Killinger's
target. With his genius for duplicity
and complicated intrigue he would
be a marvellous advance agent for
just such a grand razzle-dazzle as
that.

moved through the turbulent years

gift for intrigue was such at some
times he ran the ball the wrong

1t Stain does agree to outright pub

Department looks for what's left of
Moscow's old prestige in France and
elsewhere to swing the workers to

against the British. The obvious
strategy is an attempt to sell the war

well become necessary if and when
U. S. war production becomes a more

counties. 1t was brought out that
lack of interest in and participation

mittees by the individual farmers,
were responsible for many of the
failures of county committees to make
just allotments.
The final conclusion of those pres
ent at the conference appeared to be
that each individual farmer must con-
slider his vote from the standpoint
of his own interests and cast his vote
accordingly on May 81.
Should one-third of the farmers of
the country vote against the acreage

ing, the removal of this loan provision
which acts as floor under the
price of wheat, it is anticipated that
the price of wheat will tumble. How
ever, many growers take the view
that at the best, the loan provisions
can be only temporary dvantage;
that the mounting sums paid out by
the government as loans which will
not be repaid, will definitely put the
government into the wheat business
and controls of production, marketing
and prices will become mandatory.
Details of the voting on May 81
were explained by the AAA officials.
A farmer or a landlord whose farm
does not raise 200 bushels of wheat
or Is acres is not not affected by the
quota. A landlord may vote by alb
sent ballot, but must obtain his bal
lot from the county committee and
mail it to the county in which his
arm is located
Polls will be open from a. m. to
p. m. on May 81, McKenna ex-
planned, and two-thirds plurality of
hose voting is necessary to put the
quota system into action. The voting

y where the district AAA committee

The Reynolds company, we can as
sumo, didn't go into the aluminium
business for its health's sake. I'm
questionably, it' expects to derive a
decent profit from sales at the above
figures. This goes to show what it
has been costing the American people

The need for aluminium in the cur

great, that there is lot of talk of
the government itself going into this
business.

Airplane Production

There is tremendous Impotence on
the Hill with American airplane pro
duction. Although it is realized that
the quality of American planes has
increased greatly in recent months,
figures of 1900 and 1,400 warplanes
produced a month aren't very impress
sive. Germany, it is estimated, is pro-
ducing from 1000 to 5000 planes a
month. We'll wait until Britain gets
licked before we start doing a real
job" is the comment frequently heard
One of the disturbing factors is the
revelation that aluminium production,
including the expansion in this indus
try now taking place, is wosfully in
adequate to meet the needs Tcsti-
mony before the Senate Truman com
mittee disclosed that the Aluminium
Company of America was unable to
fill current orders at the very time
that Stettinius was telling the country
that aluminium production was ample
to meet all needs.
