WNB lenk«, Cnim Trust Building Washington, D. C. By the time these lines are read a brisk public discussion will be going OT (I hope) on the plan suggested by Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau to deindustrialize Germany. If the matter has so far escaped you let me say briefly that Mr. Morgenthau and his supporters believe that because Germany brutally mistreated her neighbors and aiher nations she Should not only be denied ail relief and rehabilitation^ aid but that she should have all her industrial machinery destroyed or given to other nations, her mines seized or plugged up and the nation made into a state of small farms. "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe lor stripe."--(Exodus XXI, 24-25). I quote the above well-known verses not to imply that the question of Germany's punishment is being decided upon moral grounds but because there are those who suggest that both the ancient law of retribution and the modern plan for a "Carthaginian peace" are considered as unwise, not on altruistic but on purely practical grounds. To those of us who covered the Quebec conference the news of at least a part of the mission of Mr". Morgenthau at the conference came as a surprise. He was the only member of the cabinet to attend, and discussed his plan for Germany with Roosevelt and Churchill in the presence of Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, who, it is said, looked upon it with favor when Mr. Morgenthau presented it to him earlier in London. At Quebec we were told that we might infer that the secretary of tbe treasury came to discuss economic matters in his capacity as a member of the President's cabinet committee. We were not told that the other two members* of the committee-- who were not present--opposed the Morgenthau plan; Secretary Stimson emphatically, Secretary Hull, at least negatively. At the time we were surprised that Secretary Hull did not come to Quebec. We were more so when we learned what the Morgenthau mission had been. Germany Big Factor in Consumer Market Opposition to the idea of suddenly stopping all manufacturing in Germany is based purely on economic grounds by some observers, by others on political reasons. The latter are not of record but those who discuss the economic aspects of the program are very vocal. They say that Economic pressure would crack the program. That it would be inconceivable to suddenly subtract 40 or 50 million people who would be left in Germany from the world consumer^ market. And, of course, if Gerfl^my wef* allowed to produce nothing but what'she could raise from the ground, she would have nothing to sell and therefore no money with which to buy the products of other nations. There is no altruism behind that reasoning; it is based on the simple principle of the greatest good for the greatest number. Compared to the Morgenthau plan the ancient toothfor- a-tooth method of punishment is mild, it is argued. A man with one tooth missing is still material for the dentist to work on, he can still cat and work and therefore is an asset to any community supporting a purveyor of food and other gadgets. But if you take away his earning capacity your economic activity fs cut down by one unit. Multiply that by 50 millions and it goes a long way to interfering with normal trade. There are, of course, other considerations, which still f|ll under the head of the practical: Maynard Keynes, the British economist, had a good deal to say on that subject in a book which he wrote on the negotiations which produced khe peace treaty after World War I. Keynes was thoroughly familiar with the details of those negotiations because he was secretary to Lloyd George at the time. In his book, "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" (Harcourt, Brace, 1920--better get a copy if you can find one in print), Keynes describes the attitude in which Clemenceau approached the peace treaty in 1919. He said that the French reasoning as expressed by Clamenceau took for granted that European wars are to be taken as normal or at least recurrent affairs. The Wilson approach was to make an effort to stop the wars. Herein rose the conflict. As soon as we adopt the view that Germany has to be crushed to prevent her from fighting again, we rpust adopt the Clemenceau-Morgenthau thesis of a "Carthaginian** or destructive peace. , Clemenceau Sought To Weaken Germany There appears, however, to be s difference in motive between the Morgenthau - Clemenceau projects. The Morgenthau idea appears to be motivated chiefly on the idea that punishment will bring about a reform, while Clemenceau frankly, in the language of Keynes, wanted "to set back the clock and undo what, since 1870, the progress of Germany had accomplished.

Attacking the vital organs, it is often complicated by inflammation of the bowels and pneumonia and often ends irv death in three to ten days. Hogs suffering with cholera show a loss of appetite, fever, drooping ears, weakness, red or purple spots on the nose, gumniy eyelids, spots on ears or abdomen, rough coat, vomiting and diarrhea or constipation. Hog cholera Way be prevented by anti-hogcholera serum and viris. When cholera is suspected, the veterinarian should be called. Need Plant Pood Greens, whether cooking or salad, to be palatable and tender, must have plenty of complete, plant food available to insure quick, steady growth. Slow growth in greens results in leafy parts becoming tough, bitter and wilted. Furnishing an abundance of complete balanced plant food in the soil gives the plants the added impetus in growth that is necessary to make them succulent and sweet. In preparing the soil, be sure to incorporate in the seed bed four pounds of a complete balanced plant food per 100 square feet. II you desire to prepare only a small bed, this would be equivalent to one rounded tablespoonful per square foot of space. Don't think that you Ihrfve supplied sufficient plant food for the entire growing season through this initial feeding either. Continue to feed greens at interval, throughout the season for a continuous yield of quality produce. • ' Uquld Maaart ' Tm: liquid part of "matftdfe fcaririfes approximately one-half the nitrogen and three-fifths of the potash.

So chu umacih_ er was pil eas- the secretary of the treasury is not concerned particularly with transferring Germany's, economic'power to any other country. He certainly doesn't want to transfer it to America. But Clemenceau felt (according to Keynes) that "if France could seize, even in part, what Germany was compelled to drop, the inequality of strength between the two rivals for European hegemony might be remedied for many generations." "This is the policy," said Keynes, "of an old man, whose most vivid impressions and most lively imagination are of the past and not the future. He sees the issue in terms of France and Germany, not of humanity and of European civilization struggling forward towards a new, order." And so Keynes concluded that the "Carthaginian peace is not PRACTICALLY right or possible," and his prediction began to come true almost before the ink pn the treaty he was writing about, was dry. I do not know why Secretary Stimson and Secretary Hull oppose the Morgenthau plan. But it may be that they feel criticism of the peacemakers of 1919 applies today: "The clock cannot be set back," said Keynes, A.D. 1920. "You can not restore Central Europe to 1870 without setting up such strains in the European structure and letting loose such human and spiritual forces, as. pushing beyond frontiers and races, will overwhelm not only you and your 'guarantees,' but the existing order of your society." Wilson knew what Clemenceau was after but he thought that the League of Nations would act to right the wrongs of the peace. Clemenceau got all he could, and the "institutions" he left behind when he died as well as, for a time, the "order of society" in France were, as Keynes predicted, overwhelmed. Perhaps Clemenceau wasn't Carthaginian enough, in his peace. Those who agree may well endorse the Morgenthau plan. antly surprised on his seventy-seventh birthday anniversary last Sunday afternoon.

To be sure of this, eat the roosters now and wait two weeks before you store the egj;s. Select clean eggs with perfect* shells. Eat the soiled and cracked eggs while they are fresh. With a wire basket or wire egg trays, dip the eggs in thin mineral oil. A number 5 oil often called lab oil, egg oil, or technical oil, can be obtained at most wholesale oil depots, and some retail stations. The oil should be warmed. From 30 degrees to 100 degrees Is sufficient to make a very thin coating over the egg. If you put several layers of eggs in a wire basket and dip in a tub of warm oil, it takes from a quarter to a half hour to drain but if you use a shallow wire tray with only one layer of eggs, the oil will drain off in a few minutes. Another advantage of the small shallow tray is that it takes a smaller amount of oil to operate,. After draining; the eggs may be stored in cases or cartons and should be kept in a cool basement or if there is room, in the refrigerator. "F7 Fatten Roosters Experiments at Cornell university showed that roosters penned up in the dark gained considerably more weight than those given access to the sun.. Lack of exercise may, in paf%r~explain the gain in weight. . )png In spite of reduced employment ahd a decline in industrial production, salaries and wages have continued to increase during the past year. Nonagricultural wages and salaries for July, 1944, amounted to 8,983 million dollars, an increase of 9 per cent over July, 1943. The average weekly earnings in manufactoring industries for June, 1944, (the latest date for which figures are available) weije $46.28. This is the highest pn rectjrd and 7 per cent above June, 1943. Average weekly earnings in industries manufacturing durable 4goods were $52.16 in June, 1944, as compared with $37 36 for nondurable goods industries. Since it is probable *.hat employment in industries manufr>ctrrini. durable goods will decline murh more than it will in nondurable goods industries, following the ces?iti >n of hostilities in Europe, the diffeipr.ee in earnings is unusually significant at the present time. ^ v Mr. and Mrs. Frai\Jc Freund, Robert Freund and Mrs. Jos.
