The man was taken into custody
on a downtown street yesterday

that the suspect had solicited 50 on

Move Expected to Cement Re-
lations With Meat-Pro-
ducing Countries

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-R-
The government announced today
that it would purchase an undis-
closed quantity of South Ameri-
can canned meat for the expand
ing Army and Navy a move
which was expected to help &C.
ment relations with such beef-pro-
ducing nations as Argentina.
Although any move to buy such
meat has hitherto been a r e
point with members Of congress
from western range states, Sen.
ator O'Mahoney D-Wyo.) immedi-
ately announced that a number of
livestock men he had consulted
appeared to have no objection to
today's move.
Referring to speeches he h a S
made in the past against the pur-
chases of South American canned
beef, he said: 1.-The situation Is
different now. We didn't have any
such army then"
The government also said there
would be a material broadening
in its purchases Of American
meats and that the development Of
an "all-around emergency ration"
for the armed forces requires "an
of the domestic canned meat facil-
tiles"
The announcement Of the pur.
chasing program was made by
Donald M. Nelson, director Of de-
tense purchases, who said: Some
purchase of South American beef
is necessary to provide immediate
ly canned meat requirements for
use by the armed forces in the
field"
The average doughboy, he dis
closed, eats 60 percent more meat
than the average civilian. More
meat will be bought from domes-
tic sources as well as from South
America, he said.
He added that he had conferred
with representatives of the Ameri-
can National Livestock association
and that the foreign purchases
would be made in such a way as
to minimize any disturbance in the
domestic market. The livestock
men, he said, had agreed some
foreign buying was necessary.
Back in 1889, a purchase of 49,
600 pounds of Argentine canned
corr beef for the United States
Navy stirred a tempest Of pro-
tests from legislators from west
ern states.

val Captain Helmuth Won Wald-
eyer-Hartz, who wrote in the Boer-
sen Zeitung:
1--WE may assume that in the
immediate future there will be a
sharp rise in the curve Of subma-
rine participation in the wal on
commerce."
The U-boats have been active
since the start of the wal but moi
in what Germany considers large
scale operation, the captain wrote.
"a more important consideration
was to bring the U-boat weapon
up to material strength and num-
bers, permitting large scale &C.
tion," he said.
1.-The U-boat campaign will take
the sharpest form with improve
ment in the weather ard the Ger
man navy will throw its utmost
strength into it. And, inasmuch
as the submarines range Is great
er than that of the air force, it
is sure to have significant success
es not only around the British Isles
but in the distant Atlantic"
The well-informed commentary
Dienst aus Deutschland said that
submarine crews were relatively
quiet because they were prepar-
ing for this big offensive which
Hitler proclaimed"
CThis reference apparently was
to the fuehrer's declaration in his
January 30 speech that: "At sea,
U-boat warfare will begin this
spring, and our opponent will re-
alize there also that we haven't
slept"
In that speech, Hitler also said:
Let there be no deception about
one fact: Whoever believes he can
help England must at all events
know one thing-every ship, with
or without convoy, that C o m e
within range Of our torpedoes will
be torpedoed.') !
