VOL. 61 NO. 194 Thursday, May 24, 1956 Sixteen Pages Today HARK THE HERALD The Thought Behind Your Poppy Purchase ext aturday thousands of people will reach into their pocket and more or less mechanically extract a coin to put into the container presented by a fair saleslady who then pre-, sents the donor with a blood- red crepe paper poppy. If she had the time to make a sales talk to every purchaser, explaining the why and wherefore of the poppy, the coin selected to ffo with the container would be bigger, and the purchaser would wear the poppy with a greater sense of appreciation. To breach this gap between the purchase and saleslady, we are pleased to present the following explanation of the Memorial Poppy, in the interest of better understanding and more revenue for the good cause which it serves.

The idea of the ponpy as memorial flower for the World War dead sprang up as naturally as the little wild itself grows in the fields of France and Flanders. The flower was the one touch of beauty which survived amid the hideous destruction of war. Along the edge of the trenches, beneath the tangled barbed wire, about the ragged shell holes and over the fresh graves it raised its brave red blossom. It seemed to be the one immortal thing in that region where death reigned. The soldiers of all nations came to look upon it as the living symbol of the sacrifices of their dead comrades.

It was a poet who first gave expression to the idea. Soon himself to lie beneath the poppies, he wrote: fields, the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on Even before the men had returned from the war, the perfect little poem of Colonel John McC'rae had winged its way around the world carrying the picture of the poppies. Returning soldiers brought the vision of the poppy fields back with them, engraved indelibly in their hearts with the memories of the comrades they had left on the battlefront. Spontaneously the poppy took on a sacred significance. It became the flower of remembrance for the men who had poured out their 1 around the roots of the little plant.

A major crisis threatened the world i sugar- market today. Governments representing both the largest producers and importers served notice at the UN sugar conference they will walk out of the international sugar agreement unless given a new deal.

The agreement regulates export quotas and world prices. Collapse of the 1953 accord, top UN experts warned, would plunge the world market into chaos and loose a savage price and export war for disposal of the huge annual tonnage. Foremost sugar exporters ing the UN parley also stressed that with such a breakdown 11.000.000 tons of unsold sugar would flood the market on top of the usual nage from this crop. Such an occurrence, it was said, would produce a serious crisis in the eternal economy of both sugar producing and importing countries and retard economic development of many global areas. One expert said such a situation would amount to in the market.

The countries threatening to abandon the 1953 agreement, which was concluded after long and painstaking effort, were Nationalist China, the Dominican Republic and Japan. Cuba, the largest sugar producer, warned earlier it wil refuse to continue taking part in the accord if further limitations are placed on Cuban exports. On top of the growing difficulties confronting the UN conference. the Soviet bloc pressed demands that Communist East Germany be invited to New York to take an active role in the parley. Although the East German regime was assigned an export quota under the 1953 agreement, it was not invited to the talks since it is not a member of the UN or its specialized agencies.
