own handicaps Chief of these are
discriminatory freight rates and dis
criminatory finance. With the Gov.
ernment financing the factories and
the Government paying the freight
these handicaps hsye been elm
mated so far as war industry is
concerned. They are still right there
so far as other industry Is concerned
These Western States have their
eyes on share of the American
market for those things they think
can be made best in the West. They
have their eyes likewise on the great
potential market Of Asia. Given an
even chance at the domestic market
and Government support in the de-
velopment of the Asiatic market,
the new industrialists say their Sec
ton need never be an economic
problem for the rest of the country.
But they know that the West, in
the past, has had no more success
in the matter of freight rates and
industrial finance than the South
has had.
Government Has Helped.
When I say what I'd do If were
the Government, I'm not being fair,
since that implies that not much is
being done. Actually both the ex-
ecutive and the legislative branches
are devoting very particular atten-
tion to the West. Last September
Senator OMahoney of Wyoming

prospect Of a Communist revolt

pected TO come when the Nazi

prepared 10 send forces into Greece.
In this interval, II was predicted,
there will be an absence OF hrm

the opportunity 10 stage coup,
renounce the government OF King

diction that such a development
would mean the loss OF the Greek
territories Of Thrace and Mace

These territories were seized by

Thus, at its first public hearing,

Germany said he hoped the meet
ing would agree to back demands
for platform declarations for state
rights, retention of poll taxes, and
opposition to federal anti-lynching
legislation.
The spokesman for negro organ
izations appeared before the Re-
publican platform committee here
last month, and the COP. con
