Member of Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Assnciatlo.i WASHINGTON One secret diplomatic move, hitherto undisclosed, sheds light on the failure of France and Britain to pull Russia into the anti-Nazi alliance. During the height of the negotiations between Moscow, London and Paris, the derman Ambassador delivered to the Russian Government the record of conversations between England, France and Germany in which the two democracies urged Hitler to attack the Soviet. The conversations were held last fall after Munich. At that time, the British were confident that they had worked out a real pact with Hitler, and made discreet suggestions to him regarding his future moves in Europe. These suggestions were very logical and based upon population studies.

The British pointed out that at the rate Germany's population was increasing, it would be foolish to expand in the more crowded areas of southern or west-em Europe. The only area which presented real opportunity, they suggested, was the Soviet Ukraine. The conversations were carried on chiefly by Sir Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador to Berlin and a known Nazi sympathizer. Why Stalin Balks Why Hitler did not accept the suggestion is known only to himself. But what is known, is that just as the British changed their tactics from attempted cooperation with Hitler to building up a wall around him, and just as they were beseeching Stalin to join this wall, Hitler dumped the Ukrainian correspondence in Stalin's lap.

TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1939 MILK PRODUCERS REJOICE Milk producers of the Southern Tier of New York state and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania are rejoicing over the decision handed down yesterday by the United, States supreme court, validating the milk marketing plan in the New York city milk-shed, and with good reason. Under the marketing order, which had been declared unconstitutional but which will go back into effect again, the income of the dairymen will be considerably increased over that they have received during the period sincfj the district court 'killed' the plan. The supreme court decision will pave the way for the early resumption of the program under which the producers will be assured minimum prices for their product, through the equalization pool, which will allow all dairymen shipping to New York city to profit from the sales of fluid milk at higher prices. The plan, when it was first instituted, brought a considerable increase in the checks sent to dairymen, and immediately after the order was ruled invalid, those checks decreased in size. Now they will-again go to a point where the dairymen will receive at least a sufficient return to pay them the cost of production.

Man About Manhattan It made the Russians think twice before joining with allies who only six months before had tried to wreck them. Note Another reason for Russian hesitancy regarding the Franco-British pact is the difficulty of making the Russian soldier fight away from his own soil. He will always fight to protect Russia, but getting him to wage war to protect England is like persuading a Des Moines ex -doughboy that he should cross the Atlantic again to save France.

Wage-Hour Censure Inside story regarding the recent censure of the Wage-Hour Act by the Southeast Governors is that FJmer Andrews, Wage-Hour Administrator, had an advance tip that the criticism was coming and immediately telephoned Chip Robert, secretary of the Southeast Governors' Conference. Chip was in Atlanta and denied vigorously that any action was to be taken against the Wage-Hour Administration. "All that I ask," Administrator Andrews told him, "is that if any action is taken, I have the privilege of a hearing." Robert assured him that this would be the case. Imagine the wrath of the Wage-Hour board, therefore, when they discovered that the Governors had met in Memphis and passed a stinging rebuke of the Wage-Hour Administration. Five Governors were present: Rivers of Georgia, Bailey of Arkansas, White of Mississippi, Dixon ot Alabama and Phillips of Oklahoma.

However, Governor Rivers said that the rebuke represented the view of all the eleven Governors, even though six were absent, The Wage-Hour people immediately began checking the absent Governors, and found that they were by no means unanimous. Governor Maybank of South Caroline expressed himself in disagreement with the resolution, while Governor Hoey of North Carolina said that he had not been consulted regarding the vote, but refused to commit himself. Wage-Hour; officials are particularly irked with vivacious Chip Robert, who failed ot carry out his pledge to give Andrews a hearing, Robert, on the other hand, says that since the Southeast Governors came out originally for the Wage-Hour Act, they now should be entitled to criticize it, and that it is hurting the people it is supposed to help.

Then he returned to the Embassy, escorted by Chief of Protocol George Summerlin, and the Chil By GEORGE TUCKER The rich little paradise called Cuba is the whole world in miniature. It has everything from a dictator to an unpayable debt, from an armament burden to hungry farmers. Solve Cuba's problem and you can save the world. Cuba's big crop is sugar cane.

When the harvest began last January, the big planters, as usual, needed much extra labor lor the cutting and grinding. Now the Cuban negro, in the present state of the world, is willing to work for thirty cents a day. Given that wage, he can somehow contrive to feed and shelter himself while the wage continues. But the big planters need cheap labor, so they import boat loads of negroes from Haiti and ship them back home when the season's work is finished. Knowing how these things work out in other parts of the world, you assume that the heartless planters, paying starvation wages, make enormous profits and live on the fat of the land.

But it isn't true in this case. The planters aren't making big profits or any kind of profits. In fact, much of the cane was left standing in the' field because it wasn't worth cutting. Why isn't it worth cutting? Because, the sugar doesn't bring enough to pay the cost of cutting and grinding and processing, even when the cheapest of labor does the work. Why doesn't the sugar bring a price that is profitable? Because it must compete in the world's markets with other sugar the sugar produced in Hawaii and the Philippines, the cane sugar produced in our Southern States and the beet sugar produced in the West.

In short, there is a surplus of sugar. Does this mean that the world produces more sugar than it can consume? Alas, no. There are millions in America and Europe and Russia and elsewhere who can't afford sugar, cheap as it is. If all of the world's people could buy all the sugar they desire, there wouldn't be enough to go around. Surplus doesn't mean a surplus for everybody.

It means more than can be consumed by the people who can afford to buy it. Therefore the problem of a "surplus" can be solved in two ways. The obvious and easier and customary way is to cut production to produce less and less until there is just enough to supply those who have the money to pay for it. The others can then do without, ancTwho cares? The other way is to keep on producing as much as possible; rejoice in the earth's bounty; and so arrange the affairs of civilization that all people who desire sugar may be able to buy it. The second method would get at the root of the problem and solve it in the sane and logical way by doubling the number of consumers and transforming the "underprivileged" into cash customers.

But selfish men haven't yet learned that they can best save themselves by saving one another, so we'll keep on trying to do it the hard way until, as usual, the hurt is bad enough to teach us wisdom.

The most recent manifestation of this perversion of warfare has been reported from China, where the Japanese have been dropping bombs for a year on Canton. According to one observer, who has witnessed the bombings at first hand, many people have been killed and much property has been destroyed, but the attacks have failed to accomplish anything of value in a program of aggression.

Edward M. Lockwood, secretary in Canton, comes to the conclusion that the bombings do not help the Japanese cause. On the the stricken city's morale remains firmer than ever. Furthermore, bombing will not put a communication system out of action. The lines are rebuilt as fast as they are damaged.

The development of aircraft has made possible the departure from the traditional methods of the engagement of armed forces and has opened the way for violation of the ethics of the war game. During the last few years the reports of war in various fronts have brought the news of many attacks by gunners and bombers on unarmed non-combatants and the killing of helpless men, women and children. These tragic stories not only strike terror into the hearts of human beings everywhere, but they also arouse a feeling of contempt for the aggressor who plays the game so Unfairly, and with such evi- of Mr. Allen's immortal opus.

There wasn't another couple on the floor, and as they danced there wasn't a sound except the music and the gentle whisper of their feet.

Children play and exercise more, they dissipate more energy and require that energy to be replaced rapidly by quickly-absorbed foods. In very hot weather we should all, old and young, avoid, or at least reduce, the intake of the specific dynamic energy-producing foods the "heating" foods, in other words such as meats. Bread, and bread and jam give the young athlete In the summer a quick pick-up and a rapid restorer tf energy. Bread is a concentrated food and one of the cheapest forms of energy. It is not surprising to learn that the consumption of wheat bread in the United States is over 80 pounds per capita annually.

Not Complete Food Bread is not a complete food, however. Bread alone does not make a balanced diet. The principal nutritive value of bread consists of wheat flour, the process of milling does not reduce the protein or starch content of wheat, but it does reduce the fat and the mineral content. The old question of whether white flour or whole wheat flour has an advantage is one that cannot be settled dogmatically. Unquestionably, if a person likes wholewheat flour, he gets more for his money from it than from white flour.

Fine and extreme milling reduces several elements. Wholewheat has decidedly more protein and is of more nutritive value than white flour. Wholewheat has about twice as much calcium, more potassium, phosphorus and iron than white flour. As to the vitamins, wheat is practically without vitamins and C. In some breads vitamin is added artificially.

White wheat flour contains about one-fourth as much vitamin as wholewheat flour. Wheat contains a good quantity of provitamin but much of this is reduced in the milling process. For Energy But these things are of more apparent importance than real. The minerals and vitamins absent in white bread are easily supplied; in fact, inevitably supplied in other foods. As was emphasized in the beginning of the article, bread is eaten for its good energy giving value, rather than the minerals and accessory factors.

The advocacy of wholewheat bread by wild-eyed food faddists breaks down because most people will not eat it. The Dakers and millers are perfectly to supply wholewheat bread. They can do it just as easily and just as cheaply in fact, more so than the fine milled white flours. But, as a matter of practical business experience, they have found that some people simply will not eat it. Wholewheat flour gives some people indigestion on account of the contained bran.

producer who promoted Durbin, helpful to me members at home and the District of Columbians can't vote for them. Senator William H. King of Utah is chairman of the upper house committee. Representative Jennings Randolph of West Virginia is chairman of the lower house committee. Senator King is a corking conscientious, capable administrator, but what good does that Washington chairmanship do him with the Utah voters though it works him like a horse locally.

Representative Randolph has 'a mean local investigation on hand. He can't resign while it's pending, but he says he will, as soon as it's finished, and he can do it with a clean slate. I've no doubt of his slate's cleanness, but he's bothered by complaints that arise solely from squawks that he has no personal or political interest in. That committee chairmanship has been a 100 per cent liability to him! not one per cent an asset. i Milk and Asphalt Representative Randolph's troubles started with complaints that milk producers surrounding the District of Columbia framed up regulations to keep western milk out of the District by so-called health regulations.

What asphalt regulations have to do with milk I'm darned if I know. Nevertheless, it's charged that, as a milk administrator, he's shown a preference to Trinidad asphalt, for Washington paving purposes over a S. petroleum substitute.
