 We will not be coerced or in- timidated in any way in our pro- cedures under the rights and re- responsibilities that we have in Der lin and generally in Germany.
 At the same time we will pro- ceed to invoke every possible re- source of negotiation and diplo- matic procedures to reach an ac- ceptable solution and to avoid the tragedy of war for the world.
 But I repeat again we are not going to be coerced."

Natures Children
/ By LdIion Cox Athey
VANILLA,

Vanilla, the 1avorite flavor in the
United States, Is the only orchid
commercially important for its fruit
rather than for its beauty.
The beans were used by the Aztecs
to pay tribute to their Emperor.
In the 18th century when the
Spandiards under Fernando Cortez
overran Mexico, the invaders dis
coyered the natives favored their
chocolate with fragrant substance.
An alert member of the party saw
the financial possibilities at once
and collected all the beans he could
to take back to Spain.
A vanilla boom resulted and Mex
leo increased her production by
dividing plants and setting them out
In new and untried situations.
Early in the 18th century. vanilla
plnats were being grown in botanical
and museum gardens in Paris. But
here one of the first and most
difficult handicaps to overcome was
the pollination of the blossoms.
In the jungle insects fond Of
vanilla Favored nectar arrive at the
moment ripe pollen grains must be
transferred and soft winds toss the
pollen from flower to flower. With
both natural aids eliminated, the
problem of pollination was some-
thing to hurdle. A negro slave, Ed
mond Albuis, solved it by using q
fine brush to transfer the pollen
Growing the plants then became
easy.
AS late as the middle of the 18th
century the State of Veracruz was
about the only place on earth where
the vanilla was grown commercially
THE Mexicans delayed three years
