Britain- (Continued From Page One) (European) position, it to be known that our desire fcr peace does not signify willingness to purchase peace today at tha price of peace hereafter; no. can we forget our moral responsibility to our people or to humanity in general. "We can not divest ourselves of an interest in the world.

Quarrels which begin in a limited area are of deep concern to us if they should be the starting point of a general conflagration." Some quarters interpreted this as a possible warning to Ger many's Reichsfuehrer Hitler to tread slowly in Austria and in his relations with Czechoslovakia. The whole country is determined to carry through Britain's gigantic five-year rearmament plan to the finish, the prime minister declared. Last week the government announced the original estimate of $7,500,000,000 for this program probably would be exceeded. The debate, involving foreign policy as well as rearmament, was based on the government's "white paper" of March 2, estimating 1938-39 armament coxts at 85 pounds ($1,758,750,000.) Both the Labor and Liberal opposition parties introduced amendments asserting that rearmament was excusable only if used to reinforce a policy of collective security! which some of Mr. Chamberlain's recent statements, expressing rirubts of the effectiveness of the Ivague of Nations, have appeared to abandon.

i'J I New Possible Citron Uses Supplanting of Import and New Cash Crop Forecast Ilot'kford, 111., March 7 An in-dustrial use for citron, or Colorado melon, discovered by David Tur-coot, Rockford processor of candied fruits, holds promiso of supplanting to some extent imports of Italian citron, used extensively by bakers candy-makers, thus providing an outlet for a new cash crop for some U. S. farmers. Two years ago, Mr. Turcott re.

lated today, he purchased a few of the citron melons some housewives use them to make preserves or pickles and started experimenting. He found that the white meaty pulp of the melons, which closely resemble a small watermelon, could be processed Into a product similar to Italian citron, which is the fruit of a tree. It was found that the new product was particularly adaptable to use in fruit cake when used along with some Italian citron and other candied fruits. Last year Frank Brussell planted 15 acres of the melons southwest of Rockford. Mr.

Brussell said considerable care and work was necessary to produce the crop. He said he cultivated the vines 26 times during the summer. By mid-August when he started harvesting tho crop some of the vines were more than 30 feet in length. When the harvest starts the melons ripen rapidly and must bs gathered frequently, Mr. Brussell said.

The vines continue to bear fruit until frost kills them. The ripe melons, are peeled and the white meat, usually about two inches thick, is placed in barrels and preserved in a brine solution. The brine is "washed out" in the Turcott plant before the melon is processed. Mr. Turcott said no particular type of soil was chosen for the melons, other than it was soil that would produce watermelons.

'Wd per acre, he said, averaged about seven and one-half tons. The melons are worth around one cent a pound. Dollar Makers By George T.

It's always a "Special P'jJ Day" In The Press "MerclW013 for Sale" classification. on Offside in Slow Trading American Smelting, Allied Chemical, U. S. Rubber Are Weak Sow York, March 7 (IP) Leading stocks retreated slowly In today's market as traders found little In the financial news picture to Inspire the buying urge. Feeble rally signs.

In evidence at the opening, soon gave way to moderate selling that brought set-iiaeks running to a point or more. Offerings then dried up and extreme declines were shaded. Activity was exceptionally small near the fourth hour. The ticker tnpe wm virtually at a standstill around noon as Wall street awaited the convening of the Supremo Court. Many had looked for a decision on the public utility holding company case.

The list continued to mark time Inter when it was learned no ruling would bo handed down. Speculative quarters apparently were not so "blue" aa they were confused over legislative and business trends. Most were inclined to maintain a "do-nothing" position pending the action of Congress on tax revision and deliverance of the President's message on monopolies. Optimistic Industrial clues were scarce. Bonds and commodities moved In varying directions and foreign securities markets were sluggish.

On the downside the greater part of the session were U. 8. Steel, r.cthlehem, Youngstown, Westlng-Jiouse, American Can, Allied Chemical. General Motors, Chrysler, U. Rubber, Sears Koebuck, J.

I. t'ase, Boeing, Anaconda, American Smelting, Santa Fe, Standard Oil of N. Johns-Manville and U. S. tiypsum.

Resistant were Consolidated Edison, Du Tont, Woolworth and Crucible Steel. Earnings statements, on the whole, reflected toppling trade at the end of last year, but here and there favorable showings came to light. Pure Oil, for Instance, enjoyed a 1937 net of $2.15 a share, the best in 11 years, compared with $1.63 In 1936. The stock recorded mild Improvement. Zonlto products, earning 17 cents versus 13 cenU in 1936, exhibited strength.

Clouding the picture for the automotive department were the fig-tires of R. L. Polk Co. Disclosing passenger car sales for January were 17 per cent below the 3 937 month, with trucks and commercial vehicles dropping 35 per cent. Boardrooms studied the survey of the magazine "Steel" which snid that, while there was a gradual strengthening of demand for the metal, most consumers were continuing the waiting attitude which lias characterized the situation for many wee.

The -J. handicap to any substantial buying at this time, it vas added, are large inventories of manufactured products still in the hands of users. Lagging ten-ilcncies in the motor field were seen as deterrent influences for steel makers, and the outcome of the campaign to break the used car jam was awaited with interest.
