Although Winter Park drainage

last week, following receipt by Gov.

from Winter Park residents, the
chief source of drainage trouble in
that rea still has not been cor

Responsibility for correcting the

the state, he explained.
The telegram was sent to Gov.

because neither the State High

CANDY:
Short Supply

Because of both ingredient and la
Dor shortages, candy production will
fall short Of expected demands dur
ing the first nine months of 1915,
the trade predicted, with the deficit
amounting to 700 million pounds.
While nuts, peanuts, many fruits,
coconuts, cocoa oil and other oil,
and sugar apparently will remain
in short supply through most of the
year, the anticipated return of work.

higher paying war industries has
not materialized, though leveling off
Of other employment and increased
wages should lead to solution of the
manpower problem.
In addition to prospective higher
labor costs, the trade said, material
costs are also expected to remain
at upward levels because of the
shortage Of supplies and the de-
clared program of the government
to eliminate subsidies on items en-
tering into manufacture of candy.
Strengthening of difficulties will be
the signal for extensive plant mod

said, with installation of equipment

CHINA:
Propose Truce

Even while $4,000 communist
troops repeatedly sought to cut the
Yangtze river between Marking and
Shanghai, Red political leaders at
tempted to bring about a truce with
Chang Kai-shek's nationalist forces
by suggesting the cessation of hos
tilities with troops of the two fac
tons permitted to remain at present
positions.
Advanced shortly after Gen.
George c. Marshall's arrival in
China to help untangle the compli-
Gated political situation there and
promote unification of the country,
the communist proposal was mod
ification of an earlier demand that
nationalist troops withdraw to posi-
tons previously occupied before VI
Day.
Meanwhile, as communist and
nationalist leaders of the political
consultative council sat down to lay
preparations for later discussions of
unity, Red strategists sought to ex-
ert pressure on the u. S. to with
draw more support from Chiang's
faction and enhance their own bar
gaining position in conferences.
Held throughout China, leftist stu
dent rallies called upon Uncle Sam
to let the Chinese settle their own
differences without interference.

FRANCE:

line with foreign currencies, France
devalued its monetary unit to 1l9 to
the American dollar and 480 to the

AS a result Of the new arrange
ment, French foreign trade is ex-
pected to pick up, since the rise in
prices due to decreased production
will be offset by giving up more
francs to the dollar or pound. In
certain of its colonies where there
has been no infiationary spiral, the
French maintained the old value of
the local franc.

Netcs ANALYST and Commentator.

the growth of the Nazi plan IS being
set forth factually, coldly and logical
ly. A new chapter is being written
in every session of the court.
We watched Nazidom unfold be-
fore us step by step - first, in the
removal of the physical ability OF
the German people to resist; then In
the gradual substitution of Nazi con-
cepts for the normal human concepts
produced by the Christian philoso-
ply.
One of the American attorneys
quoted a comment of DR.. Schacht
on the effect of the destruction OF
the freedom Of the press. Schacht
was quoted as having said, at time
before he knuckled under to Hitler,
that thousands of Germans had been
killed or imprisoned and not one
word was allowed to be printed
about it. Of what use is martyrdom,
he asked, when it is so concealed
that it has no value as an example
to others? Therein lies one OF the
answers to the moral failure OF Ger
man resistance.
BY the time the Nazis were ready
to fill their concentration camps with
their foreign victims, they had
learned well the art of handling the
resistance Of their own people and
smothering it behind wall of utter
silence. AS the court pointed out, the
first purpose of the concentration
camps, the persecution, suppression
and propaganda, was "the conquest
Of the German masses"

meticulous detail, detail that kept

Accused Make
Brave ShoD

However, for us in the courtroom,
more impressive than the things that
were done were the men in the pris-
oners' dock who actually did them.
Goering was no longer a name, he
was a person, now leaning back and
grinning, now with his arms on the
edge of the rail of the dock, his
chin resting on them. There was
Rosenberg, whose task was to
twist the minds of the people with
his absurd story Of super-race, OF
anti-semitism. There he sat, looking
down, his fingers nervously toying
with the telephone cords.
There was Keitel, stiff, cold, proud,
arrogant, all Prussian in his uni
form, stripped though it was OF
every badge, ribbon and insignia. He
maintains himself with dignity, but
not for a moment does he forget his
pose. At this writing the PSYCHE
atric analysis Of the prisoners has
not been completed and Keitel has
not been reported upon, but ! dare
say his I. @. will be high, though
perhaps not equal to that Of Goer-
ing, who, surprisingly enough, stands
right at the top. Goering is tacitly
acknowledged as leader by the 9TH
ers. To the observers he appeared
still the silly poseur, although he
seemed more reasonable appearing
than the fat and grinning mannikin
saw as he presided over the Reich
stag in his comic opera uniform.
Admiral Doenitz, who looks like
pale shadow, is also at the top OF
the I. @. list. He remains almost
motionless, only occasionally con-
sulting his attorney, who appears in
German naval uniform as he is on
duty with a part Of the fleet used
In mine sweeping and was released
especially for the trial.
Down at the bottom Of the list so
far as intelligence goes is Julius
Streicher. Although of far lesser
stature than the rest, this miserable
character is symbol of the fall
of Nazidom because he is meeting
his fate In the city in which he rose
to power--a fate at which he him.
self limited.
Streicher conducted the last class
In Nazi indoctrination for lawyers
held in this very courtroom where
he had been tried by the pre-Nazi
authorities for various misdemean-
ors and perhaps other crimes. AS
he concluded his last lecture, he
nointed to the prisoners dock and
said: ''We used to sit over there.
Now we are standing up here. But
there may be a day when we are
sitting down there again."
He IS sitting down there today. In
brand new dock, to be sure, but
with the same great iron eagle over

head.

NATIONAL INCOME:

From the depression low of 1868
In 1888, per capita income in the
U. S. jumped to SLIT in 1914, re-
fiecting the increased wartime eco
nomic activity.
Even before the onset of the war
boom, per capita income showed
a decided increase from the 1888
low, reaching $575 in 1910, still con-
siderably under the 1914 top. Where
as such income ranged from 1902
in Mississippi to 1896 in Delaware
in 1910, it ran from 1928 in Missis-
sippi to $1,519 in New York in 1914.
In 1910, 16 states topping the ma

owned by As companies were taken
over by the British occupation au-
thorities in move to break up the
country's war potential and also con-
tribute to the decentralization Of the
Reich's industry.
In announcing the appropriation
of the properties without compen-
sation to the owners, the British de-
clared that the coal mines were
controlled by the same monopolistic
interests which dominated the iron,
steel and chemical industries and
exercised decisive influence on the
character of prewar German econ
ony.
In taking over the mines, the Brit
ish announced that the financial in
terests of France, Belgium, Holland
and Luxembourg in the properties
would be safeguarded.
Fix RepdratiOns
Though U. S. reparations from
western Germany were set at 20 per
cent of the total to be shared by 81
countries, this country's actual
amount may fall short Of the agreed
figure since it waived rights to en-
envy ships and industrial equipment
because Of small losses in these
categories.
In addition to such capital goods
as plants, machinery, etc., German
foreign assets, current stocks and
items from production have been de-
clared available for payments, and
the U. S. is expected to draw pri-
marily from these sources.
Besides the U. S., Britain will also
receive 20 per cent Of PREPARATIONS,
with France allotted 16 per cent. 9th
er recipients include Yugoslavia, the
Netherlands, Canada, Czechoslovak-
ia, Belgium, Greece, India, Norway,
