Sew a Bag to Keep
Your Ball of Twine In
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS
\XfHEN you want to wrap a
package do you always know
where to find twine? A ball of it
in a bag like this one hung over
the kitchen table will be ready for
use. After trying this you are
sure to want to make some of
these twine bags to sell at the next
bazaar or to use as gifts.
Scraps from your piece bag may
be used in this way. The bag is
just big enough to cover the ball
loosely and is made of a straight
piece of goods with the ends
seamed together with a French
seam. The top and bottom are
bound with prepared bias binding.
A single cord is run through the
binding at the bottom. It is drawn
up to leave a small opening and
the ends are tied and sewn se
curely. Two cords are run
through the top with a loop of
each cord left on the outside so
that the bag may be drawn up by
pulling them. The ball of twine
is placed inside with the end run
ning through the bottom opening
ready for use.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS BY HENRY W. PORTER
New Crisis Looms as Germany
And Poland Mobilize Troops;
Chamberlain Summons Aides
(EDITOR’S NOTE—When opinions are expressed in these colnmns, they
are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
bv Western Newspaper Unlnn .
World attention was focused early this week on the little town of
Zilina (shown above), strategic railway center of Slovakia where 50,000
German troops were reported to be concentrated after the Reicb bad
taken military possession of the Slovak republic which was already under
German “protection.” From Zilina more than a quarter of a million were
deploying along a 100-mile front facing the Polish border.
EUROPE:
Week of Crisis
Peace or war?
Renewed activity, both military
and diplomatic, indicated that this
question may be answered one way
or the other before this week of
crisis ends.
Concentration of more than a
quarter of million German troops,
fully equipped for war, along Slo
vakia’s border with Poland followed
closely upon a conference between
Hitler and Count Stephen Csaky,
Hungarian foreign minister, after
which it was announced that Hun
gary and the Reich had become
firmly allied. Both of these moves
were regarded as a part of the Ger
man plan to “encircle” Poland and
as a buildup for Hitler’s making a
“final offer” to Poland on his de
mands for Danzig and a link with
East Prussia through Pomorze (the
Polish Corridor).
To meet this armed threat, Poland
began sending troop reinforcements
toward her frontiers facing Germany
and Slovakia as a “precautionary
measure against any eventuality."
However, there were indications
that Poland, feeling this military
pressure, might advance some plan
for settlement of the Danzig ques
tion by negotiation.
There were equally strong indica
tions that she would resist armed
force with armed force and count
upon Great Britain to back her up.
Whether or not her confidence in
that backing is well-placed will be
come apparent if Prime Minister
Chamberlain, who interrupted a va
cation in Scotland to return to Lon
don, issues a statement after his
conference with Foreign Secretary
Lord Halifax, War Minister Leslie
Hore-Belisha, Sir John Simon, chan
cellor of the exchequer, Sir Samuel
Hoare, home secretary, and Mal
colm MacDonald, colonial secre
tary. Significant was an editorial
in the London Times, which often
reflects the views of the British gov
ernment. It said that Great Britain
had given Poland “a specific pledge
from which it will not and can not
recede. It had given no such
pledge to Czecho-Slovakia.”
Meanwhile, if negotiation, rather
than armed force, is used to solve
the Danzig
question, the
impetus for it
may come
from Rome.
After his con
ference with
Hitler, Count
Csaky flew to
the Italian
capital for
conversations
with Mussolini
and his foreign
minister.
Count Ciano,
after which he returned to Budapest.
No official announcement of the re
sult of this conference was forthcom
ing but it is considered likely that the
axis powers hope to make Csaky a
go-between fer negotiations between
Berlin and V'amaw. Since Hun
gary has be»n on friendly terms
with Pc'and with the axis pow
ers, e*po'’-i*')v Italy, the Hungarian
foreign minister would fit well into
this role.
What effect the recently pro
claimed trade agreement between
Germany and Russia will have upon
the resumption of negotiations for a
three-power mutual asistance
agreement between Great Britain,
France and the Soviet is still un
determined. This agreement, which
will probably give Germany access
to much-needed raw materials, may
so strengthen her hand in Europe’s
power politics that it may have a
very decisive effect upon negotia
tions over Danzig, if that problem
is to be settled by negotiation.
The latest move toward maintain
ing peace by negotiation was made
by Belgium. King Leopold’s gov-
COUNT CSAKY
A go-between?
ernment has invited the ministers
of six small powers to rush to Brus
sels by airplane and join with Bel
gium in a peace plea to the larger
nations. Those who were invited
and who are said to have accepted
the invitation were the Netherlands,
Luxemburg, Sweden, Norway, Deiv
mark and Finland.
LABOR:
‘Gag’ on Ford?
The Ford Motor company has no
tified the National Labor Relations
board that it would not comply with
an order which the board had is
sued against it reaffirming its earli
er ruling that the company was
guilty of violating the Wagner act
by refusing to reinstate 24 men, said
to have been discharged for union
activity.
The new labor board decision re
tained the disputed section of the
earlier ruling which required the
firm to “cease and desist from . . .
interfering with ... its employees
in the exercise of rights guaranteed
in Section 7 of the act by circulat
ing, distributing, or otherwise dis
seminating among its employees
statement of propaganda which dis-
HENRY FORD
Denied “free speech’’?
parages or criticizes labor organiza
tion ...”
The board referred mainly to the
famous “Fordisms” as written by
Henry Ford. The quotations con
tained ant ; -union sentiments.
In replying to the labor board, P.
E. Martin, Ford vice president, de-*
nied that the company had dis
charged members of the United Au
tomobile Workers of America or oth
erwise intimidated them and
charged that the right of free speech
was being denied Ford.
AGRICULTURE:
Milk Parley
As the result of renewed violence
in upstate New York, marked by
more milk-dumping and some skull
cracking when police and state
troopers clashed with milk plant
pickets, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
of New York city this week called
farmer and distributor representa
tives into a conference to seek a
peaceful solution of their dispute.
The mayor’s action came after the
dairymen’s Strike had cut the usual
supply available to the metropolitan
area from 4,400,000 quarts to 2,300,-
000 quarts, although Doth sides had
given assurance that hospitals, pub
lic institutions and other needy cus
tomers would receive an adequate
supply.
The Farmers’ Dairy union, which
claims a membership of 15,000 dairy
farmers and which is supported by
the C. I. O., called the strike in an
effort to force distributors to pay
them $2.35 a hundredweight (or 47
quarts) for all classes of milk. The
present price for such “blended”
milk, which is used for manufactur
ing as well as drinking purposes—
is $1.60 a hundredweight.
Hearings in Syracuse and New
York city to discuss the price struc
ture have been ordered for this
week by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
POLITICS:
‘Stop Spending T
Calling upon the Roosevelt admin
istration to take the lead in a co
operative effort by business, labor,
farmers and others to stimulate pro
duction, the American Federation of
Labor in its monthly survey of busi
ness declared that an expansion of
industry is necessary to forestall “a
further demand for government
spending, with its danger of infla
tion and consequent losses to wage
earners.”
It said experts contended that pro
duction increases could be planned
for the country as a whole, but that
businessmen were not likely to lead
n the expansion because business
isks were greater and profits small-
r than in predepression years.
Defeat of the administration’s
ending bill was cited as evidence
:hat congress had rejected the
‘pump-priming” theory of stimulat
ing recovery and by so doing had
placed the responsibility on busi
ness.
This suggestion of a farmer-labor-
business-government get-together,
following close upon the heels of a
similar suggestion by Philip Mur
ray, C. I. O. vice president, is re
garded as evidence that the A. F.
of L. is not only trying to bring a
labor peace but will probably side
with business in the 1940 campaign
against a Roosevelt-backed candi
date, unless he discards his philoso
phy of spending as a method of r»
covery.
DOMESTIC:
Bund ‘Immorality*
Back from Washington, where she
had told the Dies committee that
she had quit as a German-Ameri-
can Bund Youth leader because of
“immorality" in their camps, went
19-year-old Helen Vooros to her
home in Brooklyn. As she sat in a
restaurant an eight-year-old boy
handed her an iodine bottle label,
on the back of which was penciled,
in shorthand, “Goodbye, life.” The
boy who delivered this death threat
HELEN VOOROS
“Goodbye, lifer
is said to have identified a photo
graph of a prominent Bund member
as the one who handed the label to
him with instructions to give it to
“the girl in the black dress.”
Most important witness thus far
has been Bundmaster Fritz Kuhn.
After hearing his life story. Repre
sentative Starnes of the committee
asked Kuhn if his organization
wasn’t intended to establish a Nazi
government in the United States.
“That’s an absolute lie—a flat
lie!” shouted Kuhn.
Flaming with anger, Joe Starnes
jumped to his feet. Shoving report
ers and photographers aside he
strode toward the witness crying:
“Don’t call me a liar!”
When capitol policemen had put
an end to these fighting words, the
committee got down to more serious
work. With calm deliberation, Illi
nois Rep. Noah Mason drew enough
information from the witness to
make German-American bundism
distasteful. When faced with the ac
cusation that his bund is “a money
making racket based on the credu
lity of the American people,” Kuhn
countered by listing these strange
objectives: (1) To unite the Ger
man-American element, (2) to fight
communism, (3) to give the German
element “political background.”
ARMY: '
‘Iron Horses' to Front!
While a group of foreign observ
ers, including military attaches from
Germany, France, Great Britain
and half a dozen other European
countries looked on, the crack mech
anized Seventh Cava'.iy from Fort
Knox, Ky., swung into action for the
first time in two “battles” in which
52,000 regular soldiers and National
Guardsmen were engaged this week
in the war games near Plattsburg,
N. Y. A day of rain that soaked
fields and highways gave Uncle
Sam’s “iron horses” a real test of
their usefulness in modern war.
Before the second phase of the
games began, Lieut. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commander-in-chief, assem
bled 3,000 officers on the parade
ground to present a few facts. Pub
licly scorned was the suggestion that
his troops fight at “paper strength,”
i. «., with imaginary armament the
army hopes some day to secure.
The general demanded a campaign
of reality, “to bring home the actu
alities of our state of preparedness.”
Only in tanks, he said, is the army
up to strength. Other deficiencies:
manpower, 77 per cent; machine
guns, 67 per cent; trucks, 83; auto
matic rifles, 57.
Said he: “I do not intend to be
little the advantages of speed. But
mobility off the battlefield cannot
compensate for inefficiency in the
conduct of a fight. What we need
to learn is how to fight.”
