AT. |. Collaboration
With Soviets Reported

Sir Walter Citrine. secretary Of
the British Trade Union Congress,
disclosed at the White House today
that the American Federation of
Labor has agreed to form of COL
laboration with the Anglo-Soviet
Trade Union Committee. This marks
the furthest step the A. F. L. has
ever taken toward cooperation
with the Russian worker under the
Soviet regime.
Sir Walter discussed the collabora-
ton theme with President Roosevelt.
The American Federation Of Labor
proposal represents a counter sug-
gestion to Sir Walters invitation
to the organization for full partici-
patton in the work Of the Anglo
Soviet body. The A. F. L., 1t was
learned, remains reluctant to CO.
operate fully with the Soviet.

reason for not wanting to 60 through
another debt-swelling initiation.
Farm Prices Fall Faster.
The adjustment that follows any
appreciable initiation is painful to all
groups, but particularly to agricul-
ture, since farm prices fall faster
and farther when the deflation sets
in. Farmers purchasing power is
greatly depleted, while both debts
and taxes stepped up by the infla-
ton are much more difficult to pay.
Everyone should realize that in
flation adds greatly to the cost of
fighting the war because the govern
ment has to pay more for everything
it buys. The last war cost us about
81 billion. More than one third was
directly due to initiation. Price in
creases that have taken place since
the present war started in 1889 have
already added 35 billion to expendi-
lures authorized up to April l this
year. This means an added burden
of federal taxes for everybody.
Practically no one benefits from
an initiation and most of those who
appear to benefit temporarily suffer
more in the long run than they bene-
fit. Authorities are agreed that infla-
ton can be stopped. Farmers, who
probably stand to suffer most severe
ly by initiation. should use every
means at their command to stop it,
not only by steps which they can
take individually, but especially by
giving their support to governmental
measures that are necessary to eff
fective initiation control.

Tired of Cheap Guitars,
Youth Creates His Own

The ancient art of the violin max

Bakovich, Is, who has been play.

Wait minute. Before you pic

You couldn't duplicate it in any
music shop and if you tried you
would spend about $425 getting
something like it. AS for this par
ticular one, you couldn't buy it from
him for $1,000.
Like the author who said when
he wanted to read a good book he
wrote one, it all started when Bako-
vich decided he wanted a good gui-
tar.
He was tired of playing cheap in
struments and didn't have the price
OF good one.
Il think I'll make myself good
one," he kept telling his friends, and
finally he talked himself into it.
It took him II months, but when
he got through, he had an inlaid
instrument with spruce top, birch
lining, curly maple neck, back and
sides, pine blocks, ebony keyboard.
