WAR HANCOVE "U.S. PROBLEM, HOOVER SAYS

Urges Millions for Relief as “Finnish Aid Bill Goes ToF.D.R.

(Continued from Page One)

plied. “That is pure speculation at the present time.” | Mr. Hoover's appearance was sought by Chairman Sol Bloom in connection with a series of bills which the committee is considering | for the relief of groups of European sufferers and refugees. The former President dealt primarily with aid | to Finland and Poland. He said 7,000,000 persons in Poland would

‘ need food from the outside.

“If we make these shipments,” he declared, “we have not deprived

the American people of one apple. The American problem is not one of shortages. We have surpluses.

No one can say that any one in! gj

America will have less as a result of this relief.”

Heads Finn Aid Group

Mr. Hoover did not suggest how general relief for Europe might be unified but said that in the case of Poland relief distribution within that country should be handled by a single organization. Raising of funds, he said, should be done by another body. Mr. Hoover heads an organization now raising funds for Firnish relief, He said he would not head the Folish relief set-up,

but would advise it.

‘He suggested that it be left to President Roosevelt to decide what group should centralize the relief work. “There is no way on earth to coordinate the charitable activities of the American people,” he said. “What you can co-ordinate and what you need to co-ordinate is the transportation and distribution.”

Cites Belgian System

He pointed out that relief supplies and food must be shipped in single cargo ‘lots in order to clear the blockade, and suggested shipments similar to those into Belgium during the World War when belligerents by general agreement did not attack Belgian relief ships. Discussing the specific situation in Poland, Mr. Hoover was asked whether he believed thé German Government would let the Polish population starve if outside aid was not given. Mr. Hoover said he did not desire to touch on international affairs but added: “I .could tell you what the Germans would say. They would tell us ‘we are under blockade by the Allied governments and you cannot expect us to support their friends here.’”

Cites Argentine Aid

He said he knew of no reason why the Uniled States, in the case of nations faced with mass starvation, could not say that “we will

aid as far as our surpluses permit.”

“If we do that,” he said, “we can get other nations to co-operate.” Finland, he estimated, would need $10,000,000 of food almost at once. The Argentine Government appropriated 2,000,000 bushels of wheat

48 hours affer his request for aid lain refused to grant time for de- |

to Finland, and Brazil some 8,000,000 pounds of coffee. When Mr. Hoover left the witness stand after approximately 45 minutes eommittee members applauded loudly. Many of them pushed forward to shake hands with the ex-President and compliment him on his statement, and his services in heading the relief work. a CL ST

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29 (U. P.). —The rain-bloated Sacramento

River surged over more than 100 miles of its levees today, forcing 4000 from their homes and threatening to ‘lay waste a huge, fertile valley. The 37-foot crest—highest recorded—gathered at Kennett in the foothills, where several rivers join. Beyond lay 250 niles through which the roaring flood had to pass. Farmers, war veterans and state engineers patrolled the sodden levees. Damage was believed to be ap- | proaching the $7,000,000 mark of the [1937 flood.

fighting on the Isthmus, according to the communique, while at Kuhmo, on the Central Front, the Finns captured a few enemy points, {| (A Red Army communique lclaimed the capture of Aljasomme, '3% miles south of Viipuri.) The Finns reported that wave after wave of Russian infantry was being cut down, only to be replaced from the vast Russian reserves. Reports from Svanvik, in Far Northern Norway near the Finnish border, said that fighting in the Petsamo region, which developed on a major scale earlier in the week, had subsided after the 10-mile southward withdrawal of the Finns. This withdrawal was said to have moved the Finns back out of artillery range from the famous Salmijaervi nickel mines, developed with American and British capital, and that the Russians already were hard at work trying to complete new mine shafts and start exploiting the mines. Russians were said to be moving cautiously in the Far North, fearful of falling into traps if they advanced, and knowing that the Finns had: solid defense lines near Nautsi, to which they had withdrawn. It was estimated in Finnish quarters that Russia had lost 505 airplanes and 1283 tanks in the campaign. Authorities at Helsinki announced

CITY MILK PRICE

SETUP SCANNED | AFTER. HEARING

Webb Predicts Policy May Bring Scrapping of Indiana Law.

The State Milk Board today began a new study of its price-fixing regulations in the face of statements that present policies will force the next Legislature to scrap the Indiana Milk Control Law. The Board has undertaken the task of determining whether the present milk price differential plan for producers in the Indianapolis area is fair to all farmers. | More than 300 farmers, representing three co-operative producer groups, chorused opposition at a hearing yesterday, to present regulations under the two-pool plan of price fixing and demanded a change to “save us from financial ruin.”

One Group Asks Retention

Their leaders declared that the 73-cent difference in prices paid to farmers for Grade A milk and that paid for Grade B milk is forcing the latter group out of the market. At the same time a fourth group, the Independent Producers’ Association, demanded that the two-pool plan be continued to protect the farmers who invested money In new equipment in order to qualify in the Grade A pool. ! “Abandoning the two-pool plan would be breaking faith with the producers who paid their money to produce high quality milk,” declared D. E. Long of the Independent Producers’ Association. . Webb Predicts Possible Death

He said the Grade-B producers were not getting enough for their milk, “but I'm opposed to taking money away from the quality milk class producers and giving it to the B producers.” State Senator John Bright Webb (D.” Indianapolis), predicted that if

of the State Board are continued” |the next Legislature will kill ‘the Milk Control Law. “Milk regulations can be of great benefit to all concerned if admin|istered properly, but under the present regulations we are spending money to qualify for Grade-A milk for nothing,” he said. “The two-pool plan was fill-ad-vised and is doing harm to all of us.” Senator Webb is chairman of the Legislative Investigating Committee created to probe the administration of the control law.

Score Take Stand

More than a score of dairy farm leaders testified before the Board, some declaring that Indianapolis distributors are “gyping the BGrade producers” by dumping their milk in the same vat with A-Grade milk and ceiling it for top prices. Othes testified that the two-pool {plan is the only program that will

| insure high grade milk for the

{market and at the same time pro-|-

(tect tide investments of the farmers. Regarding standards set up by

the Indianapolis Health Board for|

Grade-A milk, the Independent Producers declared they are the same as those in force in 2000 other marketing areas for the last 20 years. Farmers of other groups protested regulations that forced them to contribute a half cent per hundred pounds toward paying the expenses of the city milk inspection. The hearing was held on the petition of three producer groups, asking abolition of the {wo-pool plan and abandonment of the regulation that requires them to help pay inspection costs.

Not for us! At best, such proposals will have to come from those who so light-heéartedly started the war, although they have no prospects of winding it up. ...”

Peace Talk Heard in London

In London as well as in Paris, both of which are on Mr. Welles’ itinerary, peace talk was heard. A prominent Liberal British publisher, Sir Walter Layton, who recently had returned from France, said that Mr,

Mussolini had stressed three points in his conversation with Mr. Welles: : 1. That the Versailles Treaty was responsible for most of the present European trouble; : 2. That the world economic balance was unsound due to the predominant British and French control of colonial raw resources and that the redistribution of- these colonies must be an elementary part of any peace plan or world reconstruction scheme; 3. That Italy is disgusted with Russian’s attitude toward her Baltic neighbors, principally Finland, but feels that peace in the North should be established at the earliest moment, ? :

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb. 29 U. P.).—A description of British and German warships anchored side by side in the harbor at. Narvik; Norway, and British and German sailors fraternizing in restaurants ashore was received by the newspaper Berlingske Tidende here from its Norwegian correspondent. The reporter said that although the warships were ready for a battle to the death at any time they should meet on the high seas, “the British Union Jack and the Naz Swastika now fly side by side in the harbor and I saw an even stranger sight ashore: British and German seamen pleasantly chiding each other at the same restaurants.” He said both sides respected their responsibilities of being peaceful in a ‘neutral port, and that they could be seen eating at the same tables. Norvik, in the Far North Atlantic, is a vital winter port to all Scandinavia, because the ice-blocking of the upper Baltic halts ship movements there and such ports of Sweden's Luleaa, which narmally handles the heavy iron ore ship-

vara and Kirunavara districts of North Sweden, are now useless. These iron ore shipments now move by rail to Narvik, thence through Norwegian territorial waters to Germany. Germany takes nine-tenths of the Swedish ore procuction, so the Narvik route is vital to German smelters and gun producers. It is therefore a source of great
