BRITAIN is in the unfavored
position of attempting to have
its cake and eat it too. In other
words, its government must at

standard of living for the people
at home and still be able to keep
pace with the empires extensive
and costly commitments else
where.
Seeking to postpone the day of
reckoning, loans were obtained
from both Canada and the US.

situation over the loan.

RRITAIN'S shortage of finan-

foreign policy. In the Middle East,

England is finding herself lack

Court Decrees Nazi Priest Must Hang

BRATISLAVA, (R - Dr. Josef Tiso, round-faced parish priest who became president of the Nazi puppet state of Slovakia during the war, was sentenced today to die on the gallows for crimes against the state.
 Dr. Tiso, who was known before the war as a distinguished Roman Catholic religious leader in a land pr O m nantly Catholic, was charged with III counts in a 2l3- page indictment, any one of which could have brought the death pen alty.
 The most serious offenses charg- ed were that Father Tiso asked for and gladly accepted the "protec- ton" of Adolf Hitler; that under his administration at least two Slo- yak divisions were sent to fight the Russians; and that in July, 1944, as vast German armies were limping back from the east, he used what military force he still possessed to oppose Slovak revo- lution which broke out.

Food Prices 10 Drop,
Brokers on Futures
Markets Believe
BY the Assoeioied Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The men who
are among the best informed about
food prices, the brokers on the coun-
trys commodity exchange markets,
think prices will go lower.
Many New Year predictions have
been made recently by banks, econ
omists and businessmen concerning
future prices. But the forecasts on
exchanges are the composite opin-
ion of brokers dealing in the COM
modities.
Butter prices are high, but you
can buy some butter today on the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange for
delivery in June at about SO cents a
pound. That's around % cents under
present wholesale prices.
Eggs Are Only Exception.
For the average person who just
wants some butter to spread on
bread, that wouldn't be practical
you'd have to take 19,200 pounds,
which is the amount represented by
futures" contract. To save your
self from being drowned in butter,
you'd better sell before delivery day.
Significance of that 53-cent price,
however, is that it is today's best
guess of the butter and egg men on
what the wholesale price will be
this summer
In nearly all markets in which
food Is traded for future delivery, a
similar trend is shown. Eggs are a
single exception. In most cases, the
more distant the delivery, the lower
the price.
Wheat Prices Dropping.
Take wheat, which is basic for
flour, bread, macaroni and other
foods, it's cash price at Chicago is
around $220 bushel. If you buy
for March delivery, its $2.04. For
July it's $1.79, or 40 cents under
present cash prices. Other grains
follow that pattern.
Santos coffee will cost 26 cents a
pound, for delivery in January, but
only % cents for next December.
Cocoa is Is cents for March and %
cents for September. I'll ma
This. trend holds true for COM
modities other than foods. Cash
cotton is about 80 cents pound. So
is the March delivery. But cotton
for delivery in March, 194S, is under
~ cents.
In every case this represents, In
dollars and cents, what the indi-
viduals and business firms who op-
crate in these markets now think OF
future price trends.
As for exception of eggs, the cur
