(New Haven Journal Courier)

(New Haven Journal Courier)

Senator George b. Aiken of Vermont predicts that the plan will soon be taken up se-- riously. as a boom to foreign and interstate commerce. It is urged 'in the interest of agriculture, in- dustry and the productive employ ment of labor in useful construc- ton of permanent value to the en- tire nation

The war has produced many sur- prises. but non more important than the discovery that modern empire does not necessarily disin- tegrate under the shock of war, The century which has annihilated space has produced a mass longing for keeping together in pro- tective groups.

There's no discharge In the war, so the poem said. And though this war seems to approach slowly but surely an end in the European theatre, "the needs of our soldiers, sailors and marines are as great as ever, as the President has stated. That Is why one still sees groups leaving our own city as well as others at intervals poining the ranks in some divis' ion of service.

 SKIM MILK AND BUTTERNEILE
 Tn the article about VitAniin A In Your Daily Diet recently I said:
 "Not only whole milk, but also cream, skim milk and butternallk (Renuine) and skim milk (too often regarded as unfit for Ifluman nutri- tior) are good food sources of vit- amin A."
 The vlce-chalrman of the food and nutrition committed Of eoun- ty defense council protests that there is no evidence Co substantiate such 0 statement. Ho says that according to sherman's Chemistry of Food and Nutrition buttermilk contains absolutely no vltamln A and skim milk only an insignificant amount"
 It may be that Prof. sherman has changed his mind about it since he devised his textbook for the fifth edition (i037), but I'll settle for tho oompromise that both items, skirn- med (not separator) milk and gene uine buttermilk (not the connection dairy firms often sell under that name) contain some VitanliIl A, Al- though of course most Of the WtA- min A In milk is in the butter fat and there is only 0,3sc Of tho fat left in skim milk (compareu With 40% in fresh milk), only 0,bes left in genuine buttermilk.
 As one recognized authority (Prof Mary 6. Rose, The F0undA. tons of Nutrition, 'SAcmillan, 'Se) states it;
 "Milk stands preeminent

OF these smaller republics, only
Ukrainian S. S. R. abounds in nat

-cessity be bound to each other OF
Russian S. S. r.
The Russian republic includes 7s
per cent of the territory of the So.
Wet Union. It has every natural
resource within its borders. heavy
Industrial and agricultural areas.
Little is known as yet of the
actual powers of these republics
now that they can handle their
own foreign affairs and raise their
own army units. Theoretically,
they are completely independent.
They could wage war on other
countries or each other. They could
make whatever treaties they chose
and form whatever foreign policy
deemed advisable.
Actually it is not believed their
power is intended, nor is it ex-
pected to reach such dimensions.
Practically, it is believed that an
individual republic may arrange
its own border laws with another
country, negotiate trade routes for
ITSELF. etc.
Some hint as to the policy of the
new republics was given by DR..
Johannes Wares, president of the
Estonian republic, who asserted
diplomats of the national repub-
lies will be guided in their work
by the general principles of Soviet
diplomacy"
