Butter Dearth
Grows Worse

WASHINGTON. Sept. Is. up
War food administration officials
laid Friday the current butter
shortage probably will continue for
the rest of the year and may be-
come even more acute within the
next few weeks.
They reported that butter pro-
duction during the first eight
months of 1914 dropped u per cent
below last years output. Produc-
ion is seasonally at its lowest point
in the fall and larger supplies are
not expected to move into civilian
channels for some weeks after it
begins a gradual rise in November.
In addition cold storage stocks of
butter are now only about half the
size they were year ago.
Food officials are considering the
advisability of increasing the ration
point value of butter frcm l6 to 20
red points.

SETS OUT PROPOSALS

The Russian proposals are very
similar to those outlined in a re-
cent article in the Leningrad ZVez-
Ga which advocated for the new
organization:
Expulsion of any state which
propagandizes and practices racial,
religious and national discrimina-
ton, aCheres to the theory OF the
domination of one nation or race
over others, or other similar theor-
les of a Fascist character. Such
states may neither enter the inter-
national organization nor remain
members of it."
Great Britain, primarily because
of her Pacific dominions where
there is strong anti-Oriental feel
ing. and the United States, because
of both the Negro problem and the
anti-Japanese attitude on the west
coast, were not expected to be any
more willing than they were IN
1919 to accept the principle for the
