Improvement in Demand
For Farm Products Seen

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.--R-
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies predicted today continued
improvement in the demand for
farm products despite small like
lihood of change in industrial. de-
mand and consumer income.
Even though industrial activity
may not expand the full seasonal
amount from January to May"
the Bureau said, mo decline in
the actual rate of output is anti
cipated and a renewed rise is ex-
pected to follow. This points TO
continued but more gradual i'm
provement in the conditions affect
ing the domestic consumer de-
mand for farm products in 1871
Construction of defense pants
and orders for military equipment
stimulated industrial activity TO
some extent" during the first year
of operation of the defense pro-
gram, the Bureau said, DIT a
more important factor in the rise
has been forward buying by bust
ness men and consumers who have
anticipated later shortages OF high
err prices" 5

Tobacco is Included
In Lease-Lend Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-R
Tobacco belt representatives,
blanketed with appeals for the
inclusion of tobacco within the
= terms of the ~lease.lend bill, had
assurances today that it was al.
ready included, as we'll as any
other agricultural commodity.
Assurances came from Chair
man Bloom D-N.Y.) of the house
foreign affairs committee, who
managed the bill in the house.
II can assure YOU" Bloom
wrote the representatives. that
MY impression is and, i'll fact, l
am positive that it does include
tobacco: so You can assure your
constituents that after a special
investigation by me that tobacco
is included"
Aides of Representative Burch
D-Va.) said the erroneous i'm.
preston apparently arose from
the fact that the committee re-
port mentioned only cotton and
wheat by name, but the bill lself
mentioned no specific commodity.

British Influence Seen.
There have been numerous indica-
tions during the last two weeks that
the British are exerting strong be-
hind -the-Scenes influence to avoid
Allied inducements in the Far East
war and are still bent on keeping
American support free in the At
| lantic.
The course of the Saburo Kurusu
conversations in Washington thus
far has paralleled that during the
pre- Munich conferences and the
current war menace trend provides a
similar crisis, if less dramatic. The
question remains whether the Amer
lean and British governments are
any more anxious to fight Japan at
present than Toxic is desirous of
taking on their combat forces.
Experienced Far East observers
agree that stalemate or break
down in the Nipponese-Am
negotiations might occur. but strong
ly doubt that it would mean war be-
tween these powers in the immediate
future. Some of the more realistic
will believe that all possibility for
some sort of compromise or three
month truce recommendation will
have ended only when Kurusu has
departed from Washington.

Chinese quarters said the Wash

Many Chinese argue that if Japan

be spared further bloodshed.

President Roosevelt and Secretary

the outward appearance of friendli-
