Between London and Dover, where he crossed the channel, Mr. Chamberlain might have reflected on the advisability of such a course. Hitler was clamoring for submarine parity with Britain; Italy was fighting the Spanish civil war and yelling for concessions from France; both Germany and Italy were propagandizing about British "atrocities" in Palestine. En route to Rome, the Chamberlain entourage stopped in Paris to (1) show Germany and Italy that France and Britain stand together, and (2) assure France that Mussolini could not induce Chamberlain to bring pressure for French concessions to Italy. After two hours of tea drinking, a spokesman announced Chamberlain would tell Mussolini that France agreed to consider concessions on "secondary" questions. These are (1) the status of 100,000 Italians in Tunisia; (2) control over the Djibouti-AddiAbaba railroad; (3) administration d Suez canal. of the As for himself. Chamberlain cxpect--to tell Mussolini he refused to mediate between France and Italy, or grant belligerent rights to Spain's General Franco so long as Italian troops are fighting the war. But Chamberlain also knew he must speak softly, for only a week alliance brfore the Anglo-Frenchad suffered a severe blow. At Uerchtcsgaden, Tolish Foreign Minister Joseph Beck had deserted his French alliance to find greater security with Germany. Moreover, this meant that Poland would be ready to block any Russian effort to aid France and Britain. Temporarily free from danger in the east, axis was ready to the Rome-Berliapply pressure on democracies. Th best prediction: That Cham s French-controlle- d h n answer to measures Great Britain and the U. S. had already taken to combat growing Japanese domination over the Orient. Because Tokyo has closed China's "open door" in violation of the treaty, both London and Washington have China financial given support. Mean- nine-pow- Paris. Though committee room walls supposedly have no ears, it was learned that Messrs. Kennedy and Bullitt thoroughly frightened their congressional audience with the following opinion on European affairs: Great Britain has favored "appeasement" of Italy and Germany because neither she nor France have adequate arms. So intense is British appeasement sentiment that London would permit Germany to build an airbase in Canada rather than revert to war. But since Czechoslovakia's "sellout" at Munich last September proved that one appeasement leads to another, France has determined' to stop this policy. Therefore France will not concede to Italian territorial demands, knowing that in war Great Britain must come to her aid and that Russia, in turn, must aid the democracies. opinCrux of the Kennedy-Bullit- t ion: That further appeasement, as advocated by Prime Minister Chamberlain, will only delay the eventual showdown and make war ever, more critical when it comes, whicn will probably be within the next few months. The U. S. will not be drawn into this conflict immediately. If this was propaganda for Presinational dent Roosevelt's defense - program, committeemen swallowed it hook, line and sinker. And well they might, because the forecast appeared to be truth when measured in the light of that day's news from abroad. It all looked like war: Is v , Thursday, January 19, 1939 NEPHI. UTAH S. Agriculture Kennedy-Bullit- t -- TIMES-NEW- Under Secretary Henry A. Wal lace, the U. S. agriculture depart ment's "original objective" has been increased consumption through one method or another. Last summer came announcement of a new method, a "two price" plan for boosting domestic consumption of farm products. Under this arrange ment the U. S. "would subsidize manufacturers, whose products would be sold at a below-normprice to low income families. First objections came from man ufacturers and retailers, many of whom thought the plan would curtail free enterprise. Then congressmen turned a cold shoulder, suggesting difficulties in getting the special purchase privilege in the hands of people deserving them. As congress got underway it became certain that Mr. Wallace had dropped the plan entirely, though still clinging to the "original ob jective." Announcement was made that conferences are being held with cotton manufacturers to encourage the lowest possible prices for mattresses to be sold to low income families. Grapefruit will be simiSaid Mr. larly "merchandised." Wallace: "We want increased consumption . . . We will use any method to obtain it. We hope we can get the trade (processors and distributors) to do specific things to shave costs to the limit." Via London, U. S. farmers have learned that the agriculture department proposes to reduce American wheat land from 81,000,000 acres to 55,000,000 acres, resulting in total wheat plantings of 65,000,000 acres even if some growers do not cooperate. This news came from the international wheat advisory committee's conference, where 21 nations had sent envoys to study schemes for export and import limitations. As the sessions got underway, a discouraging note appeared in the International Institute of Agriculture's report. Wheat available for export in the year ending next July 31, the report said, was bushels, against a world im port demand of 540,000 bushels.

Although much Jules Vernish stuff has been written about his "rockets to the moon" and about shooting people across the Atlantic In a few minutes, he has been an aloof and patient scientist intent on seeing only what he sees and not making any handsome promises. . So far as this courier knows, the suggestion by Maj. James R. Randolph that rockets may replace heavy artillery, for long-ranbombardment of cities, is the first official recognition of their possible use in warfare. He specifically cites the work of Doctor Goddard, at a time when Doctor Goddard ts piling up new patents and getting some of his biggest sizzlers under control. It Is also the time when the tiny, motored plane, evolving from the toy, and controlled by radio, is absorbing the interest of the army experimenters r. as a possible At RoswelL N. M., financed by the Daniel Guggenheim foundation. Doctor Goddard has a unique desert laboratory with plenty of elbow room and sky room. He now has a gyro steering mechanism on his rockets, by which they may be accurately aimed. He has gained 30 per cent in range over his best shots of two years ago, and is now forcing his rockets to a speed of 700 miles per hour. His most valuable contribution to rocketeering, noted by Major Randolph, Is his continuous flow of power, instead of the single initial explosion. Gasoline and oxygen, mixing and exploding as they Issue from a tail nozzle, give steady propulsion. Doctor Goddard, an amiable, unassuming, baldish man, began his rocket experiments at Clark university in 1914. He is a physicist absorbed in pure science, admitting that we might hit the moon with a rocket if we wanted to spend that much power, but so far he keeps down to earth on immediate and specific problems and makes progress.
