 since that date" say the mapmakers, there have been no boundary changes that can be con- sdered official and permanent. German papers please copy) Any such changes cannot be shown on a reference map globe until they are ratified by peace treaties"

Something Big
. Cincinnati Enquirer)


 This stage of the is not good time fol prophets amateur or professional. It is perfectly plain that something very big is on the lire. bu it might be any of several vast enterprises and the man who ventures a prophecy is reckoning without Hiter Herr Hitler has two ways of deceiving the enemy-by doing the opposite of what he threatens and by doing precisely what he has said he would do
 The German Rechswehr is once more on the move Like gigantic boa sprawed across the con tinent of Europe it's head rears menacingly at the Channel threatening to thrust out at England. The body is coed the Reich holding the reserve energies for spring in any direction. The power ful tail is sliding eastward, into the Balkans, where it can be lashed against Greece Turkey Russia need may be.
 Abandoning our figure of speech we find shock troops planes and shipping piled up at the invasion ports" while the British redouble their watch along the beaches. Invasion on gigantic scale is plainly indicated by the preparations although it might not come at once The great trek into Rumania could be the spearhead of blow at Greece from the northeast or a security force to stave off any reckless Turkish or Russian move.
 It is well to remember however, that the war is one between Germany and England: The struggle of greatest moment is at the Channel If some operation in the southeast is planned 1t is secon- diary phase of the supremely important campaign to destroy Britain.
 There was time, two months ago, when a great Axis campaign against Egypt seemed in the making But Italy necessarily the spearhead and the spear is broken Germanys only logical ln- terest in the Balkans is to preserve peace and order there that oil supplies can be got efficiently and so that Germany will not need to fight major cam paiens on her east and west fronts simultaneously
 No amount of military activity in the Balkans therefore should divert attention from the English Channel It is there that the shape of tomorrow's world is going to be determined-perhaps in l94l, perhaps in l942

mittee goes through with a secretly considered plan to reopen the Dis trict of Columbia milk market in- vestigation, it will strike dynamite. Among other things, 1t will find that even Congress is not immune to the prying ear of the wiretapper.
 The milk probe began as the re- suit of charge by Representative Howard w. Smith. high-collared Virginia anti-NewDealer, that boot leg milk was being shipped into the Capital in violation of local re- gulations. Smith, incidentally, owns two large dairy farms near Warren town, Va, and is a member of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Produc- CTS Association, which has mon- Cpoly on the sale of milk in Wash- ington.
 A charge that District police used wire tapping to eavesdrop on per- sons involved in the probe caused such furore that still another spec ial investigation was launched, by Representative Joe B. Bates of Ken lucky. The sensational upshot of this probe-that the wre-tappers actually invaded the sacred pre- cincts of Capitol Hill-never got out. But here are the facts:
 A microphone was placed under I meath the mouthpiece of telephone in Room 539 of the Old House Of- flee Building, part of a suite used by the milk investigating commit tee. The records which resulted are in the possession of Major Ernest Brown, District Superintendent of Police; also in the hands of Bates and Smith. They show that a com mittee stenographer phoned to a man in the milk producers associa- tion, in Martinsburg, w. a., to tip him off on committee secrets.

ARGENTINE A AAA

Argentina, that country of open spaces, bumper crops and heavy ex- ports, is on the verge of doing a Henry Wallace. Never before have the Argentines admitted that there was any system better than growing Il the wheat you could get out of he soil, and all the flax and all the barley
 They have long been the greatest grain exporting country in the world and they have become so by sowing wide, reaping heavy, and filling out bound vessels to the hatches with grain.
 But now the outbound vessels arc few, and the grain is backing uI and flowing over the fields where still another crop is ripening.
 Official estimates indicate that a year hence Argentina will have a wheat surplus of 200 million bushels
 So the Argentine government is doing the unheard Of; actually is considering acreage control for next years crop. The Grain Board has been given authority to cut the paintings of wheat, flaxseed, ano barley, by 10 per cent, in an AAA for Argentina.

HIGHWAY TOLLS

An interesting point regarding highway tolls in Alaska is raised by Territorial Highway Engineer William A. Hesse in his biennial report issued this week
 Prefacng his remarks with the admission that neither the Territory his office has any Jurs- diction in the highly controversial question, Hesse sav Tn the face of Section of the Federal High way Act approved November g. 1921, which prohibits the collection of tolls upon any roads built under the provisions of that Act it is difficult to reconcile the attitude the Federal government with respect to the collection of tolls in Alaska.
 Congress has declared it to be policy of the United States not to collect tolls to allow States to collect tolls highways which federal funds have been expended, and yet Department of the federal government-the Interior Department almost needless to sayhas ordered the collection of toll on part of a single highway in Alaska There is no effort on the part of the Interior Department to extend it's toll regulation equtably to all highways under it's jurisdiction and neither is there an effort to disguise the purpose of the Panama River ferry toll That purpose is to penalize trucking over the Richardson Highway that another Interior De- partment enterprise the Alaska Railroad can man. tain it's high freight rates to the Interior The an nual report of the Governor published in tonghts Empire shows the Alaska Railroad had an income during the year of $3O58O55 which is $341 663 above operating expenses These three millions and this cool third Of a million profit were all paid by AL askans It represents money taken right out of Alaskans' pockets Tine holdup is one which couc not have been pulled off without the aid Of the Richardson Highway toll.
 Highway tolls are against United States policies and principles and have been for 100 years En- gineer Hesses declaration that he "does not favor tolls at all on highways in Alaska" is sentiment echoed by Alaskans everywhere.

 Business Affairs: As the usual routine of American life follows holiday interruptions, the effect of government spending will be felt advantageously Prosperity viii tempt merchants as well as manu lecturers to expand stores and plants. Architects and builders should benefit from the foresight which enables them to prepare for an influx of newcomers to this country as the result of the Euro pean war.
 National Issues: The reed of centralizing defense departments of the air, army and naval forces will now be widely discussed, as pro- ponents of state authority desire to share responsibility. Warning is given that the number of bureaus and committees will become ob- structive to efficiency. Need of ex- treme economies in Federal ex penditures will be apparent as wal demands increase. E
 International Affairs: Eytreme Nazi naval and military measures including certain mhuman de- vices, will cause such peril for the British forces that the United States must inevitably add it's sup port to that brave nation.

All of which is big puzzle to the Defense Commissioners. Also IL the inside reason for their recent warning that February , is the last date on which applications for "cef- tificates of necessity may be flled.
 Privately, Defense officials are concerned. They don't like the pros pect of going back to Congress and asking for an extension of the rep ruary deadline For they know whas a howl against business will go up from Congress and how many em- barrassing questions will be asked
 One of the most ticklish questions will be why business doesn't take advantage of the benefits which It demanded so vigorously; and why in such case, it would not be just as well for Congress to repeal the benefits.

BY ELENA de SAYN.

A program for the Friends of

last night at the Coolidge Audi
torium by the Budapest String
Quartet-Josef Roismann and Alex

foundation is extending the courtesy
OF the same program to the general
public tonight.
Soloist last evening was the cele-
brated harpiSt, Marcel Grandjany.
Much of the music played centered
around that instrument 1t was a
privilege to hear him again in the
intimacy Of the familiar surround
ings. His earnestneSs and the
simplicity of approach to the harp
magnify its Importance. He has no
recourse to theatrical gestures. And,
hearing him play, no one would dare
10 presume that the harp, as an
instrument, has its limitations. So
much real music flows from under
his fingers that one forgets prefer
ences, as to composers.

group, Mr.. Grandjany opened his
program with Haendels Concerto
In B flat Major" The work Is
written in such a way that only
at rare intervals the harp is placed
against the background of the
strings. Haendel uses fingerwork
exclusively, occasionally relieved by
passages. A Cadenza at the end
of the second movement, written by
Mr.. Grandjany, was free from per-
sonal display and in keeping with
the dignity and breadth of the COM
position.
The artist was heard also in 1.-TWO
Dances" by Debussy, for the same
combination of instruments, and in
Ravel's Introduction and Allegro" ;"
with the added assistance of a flute
and clarinet, eXpertly played by
John Wummer and Gustave
Langenus, respectively. The newer
school of thought to which these
two composers belong, found an
outlet in the extravaganza of COM
plicated rhythms, such as the syn
copated beat in the second Debussy's
dance executed by the harp and
strings alternatively, and the fam
taStic element of the last. The artist
graciously shared with his COLA
borators the enthusiastic ovation
which was accorded him after each
number.
Only one string quartet found its
way into the program last night,
Schubert's in ID minor" sub titled
Death and the Maiden" considered
to be his finest. An element of
serenity and sweetness pervades the
work, which the Budapest group
caught with their usual keen per-
ception. However, the composition
is not devoid of dramatic moments.
The Stradivari instruments seemed
to be in best form and gave much
pleasure to the large assembly.
