APPEAL:
But Not for Men

Winston Churchill in an address
to the empire, but phrased also for
v. 5. consumption, said the British
did not need American armies-this
year, next year or ever as far as he
could foresee. But England does
need munitions, he said. "Give us
the tools, we'll finish the job" he
appealed
There was indication that the tools
were arriving. In January u S.
factories had quota of 700 war
planes and at midmonth expecta-
tons were that the quota would not
be met by 80 per cent. But this
was an error. Survey showed 1000
planes were produced. If half of
them went to England, as the Presi-
dent promised, England was getting
what it needed. The amounts will
increase.
But Adolf Hitler was carrying out
his threat to torpedo" American
help to Britain. The planes are be-
ing flown to England, via Iceland.
German bombers raided Iceland and
bombed the airfield there. Iceland
Is 1000 miles from the closest Ger
man air base. In four more hours
the swastika-emblemed craft could
reach the North American continent.
Senate Goes On
In Washington the house passed
the lease-lend bill for aid to Britain.
The senate began discussion with
the expectation that talk would not
cease before the end of February.
"If this keeps up" said Senator
Glass, "the Germans win be here
before we get done debating"

SPRING.:
In the Balkans

Spring and Adolf Hitler came to
the Balkans. The fuehrer's great
criticism of World war tactics was
that Germany permitted itself to
become involved on two fronts at the
same time. He has always avoided
this.
Whether his movement into Bull
garia and toward the Dardanelles
was an indication that he did not
intend to move against England i'm
mediately was not clear. But it
seemed apparent that Germany's
next campaign would be toward the
Mediterranean.
For months hundreds Of thousands
Of German troops have been moved
into Rumania. The revolution that
ousted King Carol put Nazis in con-
troll of the government. These ma
tive Nazis quickly put themselves
under order of Germany. Rumanian
oilfelds and railroads became sub
ject to their direction.
First news of the inhltration of
German soldiers into Rumania came
in a speech by Winston Churchill
Sofia denied it, but within "a hours
neutral sources made it known that
thousands of German soldiers in
uniform, but wearing civilian over
coats, we're passing the border into
Bulgaria. Then came swarms of
Nazi transport planes with para
chute troops. Bulgarian railroads
suddenly restricted civilian traffic.
Bulgaria had depended upon Rus
STA for protection. II was a false

A chambermaid in a second class

there is seed-time and harvest,
where fields are titled and cattle are
fed. For the farmer in those be-
ieaguered islands. is as important
as the soldier.
However. while I was informed
by man who has been in England
since the war started that air-raids
had not affected agriculture at all.
there are some exceptions to be not
ed. And the war has to some de-
gree changed the farmers program.
In normal times the crowded Is
lands depend largely on other lands
for their food. Now the rich meat
and dairy products of Scandinavia
are cut off, there are not enough
ships to spare from the war supply
trade to permit much shipment OF
foodstuffs. But since wheat is vi
tai. animals must give place to
grain.
AS a result. millions Of acres of
grassland in Britain are being
turned into wheatfelds. In normal
times, live stock was the chief ag-
ricultural product, but, according to
recent reports to the department of
agriculture, Britain Is fast becoming
a wheat-growing nation. AS the
wiltshire farmer" whom / quoted
recently in these columns, said,
farming goes on much as usual ex-
cept that the harvests are heavier
and the city youths are called in to
help in the fields, replacing the men
OF military age who have been called
to the colors. And meat il scarce"
OF course, air raids have affected
the farmer little because the at
lacks are concentrated on cities and
factories. Livestock losses, accord
ing to a recent report to the for
eign relations division Of the depart
ment Of agriculture, have been less
than were expected. Sheep and cat
tie. because they have a tendency to
herd, have been killed In greatest
numbers. Horses and hogs, being
greater individualists, have suffered
least. Cattle in barns are safest.
When an animal is killed by
bombs, the farmer is compensated
by the food ministry only in proper
ton as the carcass is valuable as
i food. There Is no compensation for
unedible casualties.
Canada's Wheat Problem.
Meanwhile inability to ship her
wheat to the mother country is pro-
Viding serious problem for the Ca
madam farmer. BY the time this
reaches print, the Ottawa govern
ment may have provided an ar
rangement for paying farmers for
storing surplus wheat such as we
have in this country. Temporary
storehouses are being used and
church Easements in some cases
have been used. Government fees
for storage may soon take the place
OF church suppers for raising funds,
and already Easements and church
parlors are being converted into
temporary granaries. The Canadian
government Is contemplating the
erection Of four SO, 900, 600 bushel ter
minals.
Under normal conditions, IL the
British used their grazing lands for
wheat raising, il Is said the islands
could probably become selfSsuffi-
cient as far as breadstuffs are con-
cerned, and there Is some talk of
pursuing such a policy in Britain
after the war. But no one can tell
what policies any country will fol-
low when the world has finally
struggled back to peace. But for the
British and Scotch farmer, the tran
sition is not difficult for he has been
accustomed to alternating plowed
land and meadow In the past.
