are another crop that is seldom
grown in local gardens, but may be
successfully grown when planted as
late as the first of September. Mus
tard, endive, Chinese cabbage, spin
ach and winter radishes are others;
add to these radishes, beets and
carrots.
A considerable proportion OF the
success OF the fall garden depends
upon sowing the seed at the proper
time to insure the maturing Of the
crops during the cool weather, but
before killing frosts put an end to
their growth. Some of these crops
are tolerant to a light frost, but
will not Withstand a hard freeze.
Broccoli, endive, kale, collards,
spinach and brussels sprouts are in
this group. 1t is impossible to give
exact planting dates for the whole
of the Washington area. In the
more protected sections Of the city
killing frosts may be expected weeks
after tender crops have been black
ened in the suburbs. The dates in
the following table are based on the
average date of the first killing
frost in the District, october "a.

down together, and in the light of pure
and disinterested reason work out a
political and economic system for the
mutual defense and general welfare of
mankind
The United States - like the Soviet
Union-is in an expansioniSt phase of its
history. Both are industrially growing
powers. But in the case of the Soviet
Union, we can see where they want to
expand, and why. They are after pOlltl-
cal influence and, through it, security by
power. They are not, at this phase OF
their development, after export markets.
The United States is in different
stage. Our geographic position and
political tradition are against territorial
expansion. But the productive power
Of our industries drives US to seek new
customers. Trade follows political in
fiuence. Since we ourselves, however,
do not want colonies or satellites, our
policy must inevitably be to prevent the
expansion of future competitors rather
than expand ourselves.
Thus we are compelled to champion
freedom movements in the existing
colonial empires because we want
greater access to them. AS has often
responds with our egotism. And thus,
also, we are compelled to try to prevent
the partition of Europe into blocs. For
there is no conceivable place for us in
those blocs.
On the other hand, the postwar eco
nomic problems of Britain will be tre-
mendous. This war has bankrupted
Great Britain In the past Britain has
lived to a considerable degree by the
export Of money and the interest paid
on 1t by her unchallenged CARRYING
trade and by thousand and one ex-
ports OF services. But this war has con-
sumed her assets abroad, much of her
merchant marine lies at the bottom of
the sea and a formidable competitor
haunts the future-the United States
Under these conditions the standard of
living of her people demands a vast
increase in trade, even over her prewar
Industrial exports.
And this, and not Greece or italy, is
the real basis of the conflict.
