ALLEN WASHINGTON-The NRA has now settled down to reap the harvest of General Johnson's John-son's Blue Easrle consrresses. The resultant atmosphere is healthy. The week revealed woeful inadequacies of the past, terrific problems for the luture. But at least the Blue lagle is not flying blindly. The problem has boiled down to one all important fact: industrial self-government is on trial. The acxi nine months will see it succeed suc-ceed or fail. If it fails the 1935 congress will throw it overboard and turn to stronger ' measures either left or right. The tests the NRA must meet are simple and clear-cut; (1) it must effect a general reduction of work hours to induce in-duce an appreciable increase in employment, (2) it must increase in-crease wages to expand pur chasing power. mnu problem and most important im-portant i3 enforcement. This 4uestion really underlies the other two. Without compliance, Codes . Coae authorities are just so much wasted effort. That there is widespread disregard, disre-gard, evasion, outright violation ,i me codes is a matter of open admission. Employers attenuing the code congress bluntly chargea that 85 per cent of their own fellows fel-lows were not living up to labor provisions of the NIRA. Can "industrial sell -government" meet these tests? The coming months will tell the story.

The tentative plan is to provide sickles for the scouts to be used in removing the weeds from the ditchbanks and driveways at a small c large to the property owners. own-ers. John Gessford and I. E. Brockbank were appointed as the committee to investigate possibilities possibil-ities of getting the scouts to aid in the cleanup campaign. Vacant lots in Provo will be converted into vegetate gardens if another plan of the committee works c.t, as discussed last night. An attempt will be made to have the lots plowed through CWA aid then to turn them over to unemployed unem-ployed persons to raise a summer's sum-mer's supply of vegetables. Victor J.

In conducting the cleanup drive a chairman or executive committee commit-tee is to be appointed for each ward, who will in turn select workers for each block. The drive is tentatively scheduled for the week of April 2 to 8, although the early spring may necessitate making the drive earlier.

WHIPPLE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1934, by United Press) NEW YORK, March ltf (U.R) Official odds against a European war within the next 12 months are 100 to 7. But odds against such a war within with-in two years are 100 to 40. Lloyds of England will take no bets at any price that there will not be a war within five years. A manufaeturer or a commercial commer-cial firm whose business would be ruined by a European war can take out insurance with Lloyds' underwriters today by paying a premium of 7 guineas for every 100 guineas on the face of the policy. War Fears Grow If he wants to extend the period for two years, it will cost him 40 guineas. He can, however, obtain a reduction on the premium by naming in the policy those nations na-tions which will become involved in hostilities. Lloyds reported today that "some business" on those terms has been transacted recently. In accordance with the policy, however, how-ever, they decline to make public details. War fears, expressed in such high rates for insurance, have been stimulated by indications of tremendous armament activity. Not since the fiery forces of the great Krupp Cannon Works at Essen were welding the German war machine, has there been such unprecedented fabrication of guns and shells as is reported today. The Creusot valley, south of the Pleasant Burgundy wine district of France, is black with smoke. All Plants Busy The Skoda works, in Czechosla-vakia, Czechosla-vakia, Vickers Armstrong in Eng land, Mitsui in Japan, and all j their munitions-making subsidiar- I ies, in an interlocking chain that extends around the world, are seething with activity. Their alert salesmen are taking orders from Washington to Tokio. The United States has announced announc-ed its purpose to build a defensive navy up to treaty strength. So has England. Japan has countered with renewed building activity and the contention that present treaty ratios are insufficient- that she must have parity. S. F.
