Use Beet Sugar.
Rotarians Urged

California families and those III
Imperial Valley particularly, should
insist on using beet sugar, rather
than cane. since it helps the far
rners in their own state and coun-
". and since tests prove that there
s no difference in quality and
flavor between the two.
This was the opinion expressed
BY Mrs. Kathleen Kerry of the
Holly Sugar Co, who spoke before
the El Centre Rotary club at its
luncheon meeting Thursday noon
at the Barbara Worth hotel.
w. E. Baker, of the same con-
Germ spoke briefly on the present
status of the sugar industry.
John w. Tyler was chairman of
the day. 'and j. r. Glasgow presi-

Roosevelt SCOTS
AT Peace Rumors

WASHINGTON, June 6 (UP) -
President Roosevelt today said
peace rumors circulating in the
capital were fabricated from Nazi
falsehoods.
The president said many Ameri-
cans were being made the dupes OF
German propaganda.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared Britain is
far from collapse, and no peace
proposals were brought back from
London by Ambassador John G..
Winant.
Declaring he was not making a
Genial of peace reports but an &C
cusation that Americans were be-
ing duped, the president said Of
the peace rumors:
There has been absolutely moth
ing like it-not even a tenth cou-
sin of a peace offer or anything
like that or any discussion of peace.

Londcn gave no indication that
any important results are expected
from Grips visit to London. How
ever. coming at a time when Ger
man. Russian relations have been
cloaked in unusual reticence, the
trip gained added significance.
Speculation has been widespread
as to the possibility OF new Ger

sion of the Middle East into spheres
of influence. Russia and Germany
have conflicting interests in the
area and it seemed likely that an
understanding would be reached be-
fore the opening OF the expected
Axis drive against Suez and the
British positions in the Mediter-
ranean.
Most of this spec IIation has fol-

Military action Friday was on
small scale. The Italians reported
a bombardment Of Gibraltar, giving
rise to speculation that an all-out
Axis attack on British naval bases
in the Mediterranean may be about
to get under way.
The Rome press revealed that
the German air corps which has
been established since last winter
in Sicily now has departed, appar-
emily in some haste. There was no
clue to its destination.
Although the announcement OF
the departure of the German air
corps was made only Friday, it was
quite possible that it had left Sicily
at some past date, possibly 10 join
the Nazi air forces which partic-
ipated in the attack on Crete.

Goar said that the middle of this

he said. from the beets planted last
July. Only two varieties were used
but this year five will be planted.
Summer planted beetS mean a pro-
longed season. The summer crop
would be out of the way before the
fall beets were ready.
This would be a help in the

British officials, however, have
rot been very helpful in the en-
forcement of this neutrality and
in one instance there was a very
close shave, causing the United
States government TO back up the
Liberians in their stand.
COUNTRY SUFFERS
ECONOMICALLY
Economically, the Liberians have
suffered from the war in that their
trade with the adjacent French
possessions has been cut off. French
territory almost completely sur
rounds Liberia with the exception
of the northwest border which adj
joins Sierra Leone, British terri
tory.
At the time, the few Germans
who were left in Liberia, mer-
chants and traders who had been
there for years, were doing their
best to keep the little trade they
had Intense trading was done
with a product known as 'piassava'
g hemp like material which is
manufactured from fibers of a
Liberia plant. Germany had been
buying this when the British step
ped = in through their charge
d'affafres and precipitated very
unpleasant situation.
Because the British maintain a
strong blockade of the West African
coast, it is almost impossible for
any vessels other than those of the
British and her allies to enter the
few ports Liberia has. At che same
time, Britain maintains a wide
spread blacklist of nations suspect
ed Of dealing with the Axis powers
and once threatened to put Liberia
in this category. Only the insistence
of This government is said to have
prevented such step.
Information from this section of
the West Coast is rather meager,
it is reported, since the United
States maintains man at Baker,
in the Sengal and another at Lagos,
some thousand miles apart in a
rough wild territory.
