WANTS WAC AVERY ESCORT

Paul Porter, director of public relations with
the Democratic National committee, is re-
portedly offering a cash award to two Wacs
who will volunteer to carry Sewen Avery, ex-
ecutive head of Montgomery Ward and COM
pany, into the hearing room when the Ward
official appears here Tuesday to testify be-
lore the house committee investigating gov
eminent seizure of the Chicago properties of
the mail order firm
Porter believes that. in view Of the fact
that soldiers picked up Avery and carried
from the Ward Chicago offices when the gov
eminent seized the property, it may be ap-
proprlate for two Wacs to make a 'hand-
saddle" and ride HIM into the committee room.
The REPUBLICANS have attempted to make
political capital of the picture of the soldiers
carrying Avery from his office to the street,
so Porter has his doubts that Avery would
agree to his suggestion, regardless of the ex-
tent OF the tempting pulchpritude of Wacs who
might volunteer for the assignment
Rep. Clark, a member of the house COM
mlttee investigating the seizure, is looking for
ward to the opportunity to question Avery
concerning Wards attitude toward it's labor
ing employees.

PARIS. - Frenchwomen have at
last come of age. They have been
given the vote. Next February will
mark their entry in the political
arena when they will participate in
the election of district and munich
pal officers.
It is estimated that the feminine
vote will represent no less than 81
per cent of the electorate, presum-
ing that every women who is en-
titled to cast her ballot does so.
Judging by the alacrity with which
they have presented themselves for
registration, there will be few alb
stainers. In any case, their vote
is bound to have a decided influ-
ence on the general political set-up.
The majority Of Frenchwomen I
have talked to are conscious Of the
gravity of their new status, more
especially as it comes to them at
particularly crucial time in their
country's history. A little resentful
that they are some two generations
behind the Anglo-Saxon countries in
obtaining their civic rights, French
women say 1--WE are going to have

To General de Gaulle goes much
of the gratitude OF the women Of
France for their emancipation. They
are justly proud of the fact that

France who, with him, refused to
accept defeat, and that he never
failed publicly to acknowledge their
share in and tremendous impor-

stIdies, an longing wasp has been
imported from Panama, which likes
nothing better lin fact likes nothing

yourself.
Other projects might be men,

technical article, it is merely the
record Of one kind of international
cooperation which has been made eff
fective with the admixture of a lit

Great strides have been made in
agriculture in Mexico in recent
years and side by side with this
growing progress and increased eff
ficiency has developed a feeling of
mutual confidence on the part of the
two nations which have shared their
experiences.
Minister Gomez is more than a
political appointee. He is trained
agriculturist. Under him are many
trained men, a large number who
have attended American universe

department of agriculture employ

whims than formerly.
Mexican agriculture is progress

parade of Mexican agriculturists

cultural relations. Most of them

can still pool their experiences.

NAZI propagandists are making
use of the strategic situation
to urge every person in Germany
to prepare for a fight to the "very
last man."
One broadcast declared that
terror" grips the hearts of many
of our people," and warned that
Germany twill turn this Continent
into a maelstrom of destruction,
where only one cry is heard-the
cry for blood"
We have no reason to doubt
the possibility of bloody executions
as the Nazis take one last fling
at their helpless victims. Appar-
emily, even as they face defeat,
the Hitlerites do not know that
"the cry for blood" can be raised
by both sides.

While the campaign for the sal
wage of waste paper has been
under way for many months, it
must be admitted that there has
been considerable delay in formu-
lating an effective collection sys-

However, with the critical de-

necessary for the manufacture of
containers, it is hoped that every
American will make it his, or her,
business to contribute to the sue

paper.

The Flavor Lingers

A MAJOR piece Of Democratic
"A strategy for the coming Pres
idential campaign was revealed by
both the official and unofficial
proceedings at the party's Chicago
convention last week. The party
managers, sensing the undesira-
bility of entering the campaign
with CLIO support too prominently
displayed, sought and won compro-
mise in the ticklish situation by
blocking the denomination of Vice
President Henry A. Wallace.
This move had been predicted
by informed political observers
long in advance of the convention.
President Roosevelt left the door
wide open for such move in his
pre-convention exchange of letters
with National Chairman Hanne-
gan.
The strategy worked smoothly
on the convention floor. But an
unpredictable cog slipped during
the actual balloting for a Vice
Presidential nominee, when CLIO
supporters in the galleries became
vociferous in their demands for
the denomination Of Mr.. Wallace.
There were boos for the other
candidates and organized cheering
for Mr.. Wallace. Order was at
times preserved only by the tact
of Senator Jackson, the convention
chairman.
But the efforts of MIR. Sidney
Hillman's rooters failed to change
the result. Mr.. Wallace was
dropped and Senator Harry Tru-
man of Missouri is the party's
nominee for Vice-President.
Mr.. Hillman's efforts did sue
coed, however, in tying the CLIO
banner securely to the donkey's
tail, despite the efforts of party
managers to soft pedal the con-
nection.

WNO OCA NACC2 uSt
Washington, ID. C.
In few weeks now, international
cooperation will probably be the
subject of heated political debate.
The opponents of this benevolent
concept will, having exhausted other
arguments against it. probably end
up with the usual statement that
cooperation between nations might
be all right in theory but it won't
work."
While this controversy is going on
up and down the land, a number of
scientific gentlemen, who won't lose
their jobs if the administration
changes here in Washington, and who
poster themselves not so much about
votes as about pests, viii be calmly
reading the reports of an interna-
tional organization which has al
ready proved that it does work.
The Inter-American Conference on
Agriculture meeting in Mexico City
will have concluded its second ses-
sion by that time. 1t is making a
lot Of progress but preceding it was
another meeting: the United States
Mexican commission, reports Of
whose session have not yet been
made to the department of agricul-
ture but interested officials know
that when they are made, they will
record definite, practical progress.
They know this because they know
that this commission has already
furthered cooperative projects which
have resulted in the saving of many
dollars to both the United States
and Mexico, to say nothing of pro-
noting good will in each country
through mutual assistance. The
commission has furnished concrete
examples of international cooper
alton which prove that it is both
possible and practical.

The story Of this particular effort
really begins back In July Of 1912 at
the first meeting of the Inter-Ameri-
can Conference on Agriculture. At
that meeting. energetic Senior Marie
