OE4CHNEK BERLIN, Feb. 15 (I I'i Marshal Hermann Goering told Germany in a radio speech today that the reich cannot be beaten militarily, economically or morally in the war against Great Britain and Friince. The English should recognize this, the No. 2 nazi and economic dirtator said in calling upon German farmers to redouble their efforts in the coming year in order to offset the extreme cold of this winter and the allied blockade. Draw From Soil We think of the watch words of Frederick the Great before his battles. Although the ground Is frozen, you farm men and women stand on the thresholds of a battle of production for which I give you the watchword. No people can be firm and strong unless it draw from the soil the strength that makes it invincible." Goering emphasized the preparedness of Germany for war and revealed that the reich has stored 7,000.000 tons of wheat as a grain reserve. We are not starving, he said. We do not have too much but we are not starving. The reichs economic dictator strd Germany is unable to rely entirely on reserves of grain but must maintain agricultural production. This is your problem," he told the farmers. It must be solved. The fuehrer demands It of you and the country demands it of you. Wont Be Fooled Goering said Germanys enemies want to conceal from us their weaknesses with propaganda and lies and the blockade. They fooled us in 1918, he said, but never again. . . .Our agriculture and industry are now incomparably better organized than during the world war. Goering said the war forces us to forego many comforts. But," he said, the soldiers in particular are well fed. Women have sent them food and the soldiers have returned it, saying they had enough to eat. This is a tribute to the people of the land. England is now feeling Insecure," Goering continued. The people (in England) are being held down in ignorance and stupidity."

Champ, a member of the bankers agricultural commission, were guests of Asa Bullen at the luncheon. Major Bunting reviewed former war activities of the United States and quoted historians to the effect that this nation never has fought a major war against any major power unassisted. He declared that the present army strength consists of 12,000 officers and 167,000 enlisted men, with an additional 14,000 officers and 199,000 enlisted men in the national guards of the various . . v (Acme Telephoto) Meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Artie Shaw.

The reported abandonment o f the Idea is said in informed circles not to be temporary but per manant and that the forest service will always in the future remain as part of the department of agriculture. Mr. Champ, who has devoted considerable time to fighting the proposed transfer, was elated with the news of the abandonment when he first learned of it through a telephone message' from Washington, D. C. This is the comment made by Mr. Champ today on the matter: The reported announcement last evening by the president fK- he would drop his proposed recommendation to congress for transfer of the forest service from the department of agriculture to the department of Interior, and the later advice that 'this was not simply a deferment but n complete abandonment of the proposal, is, if confirmed, a great victory for the advocates of conservation throughout the United States, and is a particular victory for this western region which Is more directly concerned with the work the forest service is doing" said Mr, Champ. The west has spoken unmistakably on tt is question, and the advocates f.f genuine conservation elsewhere have added their force in the constructive solution of a question which had become a threat to one of the governments most useful agencies, and in its larger implications a threat also to the program of conservation-through-use of our range and forest resources as to an extensive withdrawopposed al of these resources from production entirely.
