STRIKE 1S CHIEF FAMINE CAUSE
Unification Plans Speeded To Slow Deterioration Of Morale.
By HAL O'FLAHERTY Times Special Writer CHICAGO, Nov, 11.—A desperate situation exists in Germany because of the failure of food ships to sail from the United States during the maritime strike Thousands of workers in the British zone now are at or under the starvation level. They are not rebellious or violent. But there is grave danger that masses of hungry, weakened people will wander aimlessly around the gone looking for food, deserting their places in the mines and factories. In view of the rapid deterioration in the morale of the beaten population, a new vigor has been injected into the plans of the British and Americans for the unification of their zones, A joint economic control group met this week at Minden, a little town in the British zone and there began to synchronize the exchange of supplies: and the co-ordination of services. U. 8. Defers Problem In British circles, some stress has been laid recently upon the difference in approach to the unification problems as displayed by the British and American systems. THe British will seek socialization or nationalization of the mines and public services while the Americans are for private enterprise. Actually, it is known that the American occupation authority is in favor of putting this problem to one side until the German “people have regained political control. Then, according to the -Americans, they can nationalize their industries if they see fit. Hitler already had done a thorough job of nationalization.
Food Problem Increased
A British mission is en route to Washington to meet with American occupation chiefs Tuesday to thresh out the details of the new economic co-operation between the two zones in Germany, Simultaneously, the four foreign ministers meeting in New York are expected to begin the discussions of the political factors Involved in unity. The American zone has been completely organized so that it can eventually be joined with other zones in some sort of political union. But the British zone continues largely under the control of the military. The British occupation forces are said to number five times those in the American zone, thereby adding to the feeding problem. Russia Agrees to Exchange On Russia's side, there seems to be ample food but the mines, factories and farms are suffering through lack of machinery, repair parts, fuel and some raw materials. These shortages have produced a new willingness on Russia's part to | co-operate. For the first time since the end of the war, an exchange of goods across the line separating the Russians from the Americans has been put through. Marshal Stalin has declared for the eventual unification of Germany. This policy has replaced the old one of blunt refusal to traffic in any ‘way facross. the boundaries of the zones either with the British

STILL IN QUESTION
THORSHAVN, Faroe Islands, Nov. 11 (U, P.).—There is still some question whether these islands are to be an independent nation. Several weeks ago the Tbegtingid | (parliament) of the islands voted to secede from Denmark and set up independence. The king of Denmark then dissolved the parliament. This week-end the citizens elected a new parliament, A total of 17,862 votes were cast, If the new parliament also votes to secede, the tiny, near-Arctic islands will become one of the world’s smallest republics. The whole “revolution” has been bloodless and democratic.
WHAT MAKES SERGE SHINY MINNEAPOLIS (U. P.). — It's neither the years nor the dry cleaning that makes that blue serge suit shiny. It's just plain wear. A co-operative study by agricultural experiment stations in Minnesota and South Dakota proved that age and cleaning have little effect on strength, thickness or ability to stretch of serge material,
