New Tokens To
Cut Cost OF
Ration Program
Pinal county housewives will
probably be using tokens
by Jan. l, 1914.

OPA has disclosed that Pima
county housewives will be making
use Of new ration tokens before
Jan. |. 1914 The tokens. TO be
made OF plastic. IL is said. will save
millions OF dollars in paper and
printing costs.
Use OF the new tokens will not
exclude use of present paper
stamps but instead will be used
only as change" for the point
coupons now I'm effect. The new
tokens are intended to simplify the
present rationing progra.
II is estimated that II costs the
government about $4,000 10
print and distribute one ration
book. Under the new system. only
four red stamps will be validated
per ration period-each worth If
points compared with Is stamps
per period under the present pro
gram. This will save great deal
OF paper.
when the token system gets un
derway. a new ration book will last
90 weeks instead of only 20 weeks
as il does now. The government
will save approximately $4,000. .00C
over the same period of time In
paper. labor and printing costs
through the token-coupon system
The tokens viii be blue and red
in color For each color there will
be two tokens-a larger one the
size OF a quarter and worth five
points and a smaller one. the size
OF a nickel and worth one point
The tokens will be issued through
federal reserve system TO banks
taking part in the rationing pro
gram
Retailers will get their tokens
from the banks by exchanging ra
tion currency and give them out tC
the consumer as change for ration
stamps II is thought that foul
stamps will be validated at a tims
when the new program gets start
ed.
The use of tokens will be only
supplemental-to reduce the use o.
stamps but not TO eliminate them

There will be no expiration date;
for ration stamps when the new
program becomes effective. Th,
tokens will be easy TO handle anC

AGREEMENT AMONG
NATIONS FAVORED
Yale Prof. Says Germany
Expanded Due to Neigh
bOrs' Weakness

New Haven, Dec. 16-Once there
is agreement and cooperation
among all nations, then the achieve
ments Of the small states should be
recognized, wrote Arnold Wolfers,
professor of international relations
at Yale university, in the article I'm
Defense of the Small Countries, -
published in the winter issue Of The
Yale Review.
"As long as the world continues
to be divided into a number of in
dependent states, the great powers
must continue to assume the lead
ing political role" said Wolfer.
CohesiveneSs can compensate In a
large measure for the individual
size of the smaller countries, he as
serted. Although a political feder-
alton of small states is attractive in
theory, however, it is not panacea
which can be universally applied or
recommended. A federation of two
countries like Poland and CZecho-
slovakia might find instead of add
ing to each others strength, they
had entangled themselves in each
others conflicts.
And although a large free trade
area and more liberal trade policy
might be beneficial for a federation
of smaller countries, "the whole
idea Of tying countries together eco
nomically solely because of geo.
graphical propinquity is fallacious."
In general, however, 1t is probable
that the small states would be pro-
moters of international agreements
and useful members of international
economic organizations.
Some serious issues Of security
and international organization are
raised by the existence of small
countries. Their military weakness
may tempt strong neighbors to ex-
pand as Germany has done. Small
states are dangerously weak" when
the power of their strong neighbors
Is not sufficiently balanced. As long
as weak countries have two strong
neighbors instead of only one, how
ever, they can enjoy high degree
of security.
The solution, according to MI.
Wolfers, would seem to lie in the
type of informal and flexible organ
ization which now prevails among
the United Nations and which, at
their recent meeting at Moscow, the
major powers have agreed to con-
tinue for an undetermined period
after the close of hostilities."
Powerful countries which cham
pion the cause of the small countries
and Withstand the temptation to die
tate, interfere, or patronize will"
concludes Mr.. Wolfers, ''enjoy the
friendship of freedom-loving ma
tons in all parts of the globe and
gain the support of those who seek
liberation"

VICTORY FIRST
Question Of Right of Suf-

toward winning victory In the war

the right Of suffrage for youths be-
