This allowed North to bid seven spades, as he now had found a home for his losing club. South is definitely marked with the ace of hearts, due to the fact that when West overcalled with two diamonds South need not have made any bid—he could have passed.

Charges Importers Are Keeping Wine Out of State The Mission Dry Company, manufacturer of “sparkling Burgundy," a 3.2 per cept beverage has charged that “miserable conditions” under which the Indiana beer and wine law is being administered are keeping its product out of the state. The blame for the situation is laid at the door of the importers, “who demand their cut and do not give us a chance to control handling of our swn product,” by Milton Epstein, division sales manager.

Efforts to do business in Indiana failed because the importers wanted 5 per cent rakeoff for doing nothing, says Epstein. He had no difficulty in obtaining orders for “sparkling Burgundy,” Epstein said, and felt assured that he could have done a good volume of business in the state if he had acceded to the importer’s demands. “I called on the Mooney-Mueller-Ward Company in Indianapolis,” said the sales manager of the Mission Dry Company. “It was not in a position to handle our product, but referred me to the J. C. Perry Grocery Company. “Before calling on this concern, I talked to officials of the Klee & Coleman Bottling Company, Mr. Klee giving me the dope on the importers. “I talked to a Mr. Burke (John Burke is one of the importers for this district), who was in charge oi the importer’s office and he was much enthused over our product. “Our discounts on a 60,000-pound car are 15 per cent, 5 per cent and 2 per cent, sight draft bill of lading attached. Mr. Burke sufgested that I go out and sell the fifteen licensed wholesalers, getting their certified checks with the orders. When I had completed sale of the carload, he would give me my order. “The wholesalers were to receive 15 and 2 per cent, the importer to keep the 5 per cent for his efforts. “I asked what the importer did to earn this. The answer was, ‘We take up the draft when the car arrives.’ “The J. C. Perry company was interested in buying a carload, but officers explained that they could not control any item as long as the importer situation exists.” Advised of Epstein’s statement, Burke said: “We don’t want any wine,” and intimated that the terms of the Mission company were unsatisfactory,. Referring to Epstein’s complaint concerning the 5 per cent cut for importers, Burke said: “What does he expect that we will handle it for nothing?” POULTRY MEN FINED One poultry dealer was fined Friday in municipal court four by Judge William H. Sheaffer and another was dismissed on charges of failure to have a wholesaler’s license. Pete Bgloff, 582 Indiana avenue, received a fine of S2OO and costs. Charge against Morris Jessel, 2941 Central avenue, was dismissed for lack of evidence.

SALVATION FOR GERMANY SEEN IN AGRICULTURE Large Industrial Population Will Go Back to Soil Under Hitler Plan. BY CLIFFORD L. DAY I’nitrd Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1933. by United Press) BERLIN, May 6 Nazi agriculture policies will save Germany from starvation, Walter arre, personal advisor to Chancellor Adolf Hitler and head of the Nazi agricultural department. told the United Press today, in the first authoritative statement of a revolutionary agrarian program. “The interruption in the international exchange of goods has resulted in the German people being no longer in the position of safeguarding their nourishment through exchanging industrial goods for agricultural products,” he said. "Hence, economically, the German agricultural policy has no choice but to concentrate on supplying foodstuffs from its own soil.” The Nazis will concentrate every effort toward sending large industrial populations back to the soil. Seen as Only Hope “Only by this means can Germany solve the problem of nourishment,” he declared. Darre's star is the ascendency in Nazi Germany, For years he has been close to Chancellor Hitler, especially in agricultural matters. Well-grounded reports are that Dr. Alfred Hugenberg, Nationalist leader, soon will resign from the cabinet and Darre will replace him as minister of agriculture and economy. Darre is president of the National Asosciation of Peasants and Farmers and of the Farmers’ Co-Opera-tives. Nattily dressed in the black uniform of a storm trooper, Darre leaped to his feet when the correspondent entered his office, clicked his heels together, and held out his hand in the Nazi salute. “Hail Hitler!” he exclaimed. Tells His Policies Then he outlined his policies. “To help agriculture is the keystone of the first year's plan in Hitler’s program,” he said. “First, we want to prevent foreclosures on agricultural property. Second, we want to lower the interest rates. Third, we want to reduce the indebtedness of the agrarian population. Last, we seek internal colonization. Some of these measures already have been effected and the others are in preparation. “Our aim, since we favor the small farmer, is much the same as Soviet Russia's wheat factories (mass production by collectivized agriculture.) We want to establish small farming units run by peasants attached to the soil.”
