Vicki Baum has followed her immensely popular "Grand
Hotel" with another novel about a German hostelry—"Hotel Berlin
’4 J.” Hotel Berlin, like its predecessor, has a varied assortment of
fascinating guests, but things have changed
radically under a war-torn Nazi regime.
The windowpanes are still shattered from
the last air raid. The heavy brocade cur-
tains have tears in them, and the stuffing
is coming out of the deep luxurious chairs.
But the hotel is still the best there is, and
to it come people of high position, Ruma-
nian officers, Nazi officials, famous ac-
tresses. To it also comes Martin Richter,
underground leader, and there he is hidden
in the deep wine cellars by two sympathetic
French waiters.
On the walls of houses, on the cars of
the crowded underground trains, there
often appears a scrawl, "You can kill Richter—but you can’t kill his
spirit.” Service crews go around and wipe it off; guards are posted to
watch the exposed spots. But the next morning, there is the hand-
writing again.
The influence which Martin Richter, who is a symbol of courage
and freedom to the oppressed, has upon the
residents of the hotel, is the main thread
of Miss Baum’s novel.

The Greeks of Homer’s time, writes
H. E. Jacobs, in "Six Thousand Years of
Bread,” were contemptuous of the Scyth-
ians, who ate oats like their horses. The
Romans cherished the same contempt for
the oat-eating Germans. And many cen-
turies later, Samuel Johnson, in his famous English dictionary, defined
oats as "food for men in Scotland, horses in England,” To which, it
is said, the indignant Scots replied, "England is noted for the excellence
of her horses, Scotland for the excellence of her men.”

The Book-of-the-Month Club announces that the selection for July
will be "Joseph, the Provider,” by Thomas Mann. This is the last
volume of Mann’s tetralogy about the life of Joseph.
Storekeepers in America’s early days were somewhat indifferent to
orderly inventories, Thomas D. Clark tells us, in "Pills, Petticoats and
Plows.” There is the story, for instance,
of the merchant who couldn't find the
handle to a pump he had ordered. In an
impassioned letter, he informed the whole-
sale house that they had maliciously left
him in the lurch. But before he could seal
the letter a boy came in to say he had
found the handle. Instead of destroying
the letter and forgetting the matter, the
storekeeper added the mildly apologetic postcript, "Never mind what
I have said. We b- ound the darn thing," and sent it on.

Another Boost for
Notional Debt Limit
Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee has introduced legislation to
increase the Federal debt limit to
$260.000,000,0U0, the highest ceil-
ing in United States history.
The limit now is $210,000,000,000
—raised from $125,000,000,000 in
March, 1943.
President Roosevelt, in his
budget message to Congress last
January, estimated the public-
debt would reach $258,000,000,000
by June 30, 1945.
TRILLIONS NEXT I
In predicting that the national
debt limit will be raised, one com-
i mentator says that next year the na
tional dibt will reach 250 billions of
dollars or a ‘'Quarter of a TKIL
LION.”
It wasn't too many years ago that
, money was measured by millions.
, Once the debt reached the billions
the nation gave up trying to con-
ceive the enormity of a billion dol-
lars. Now that the first mention of
"Trillion" has been made—well,
that's something for Superman to
toy with. By the way, what comes
after a Trillion?—Redwood Falls,

Milk Producers
Protest Against OPA
Price Ceiling
In the April issue of "The National
Grange Monthly" a Georgia farmer
writes:
“On January 12th, Georgia pro-
ducers and distributors of milk held
a meeting in Macon, Georgia. The
facts brought out demonstrated be-
yond any shadow of a doubt that
most milk producers will be forced
out of business unless they receive
more money for milk. I noted news
releases from Washington said that
the head of the OPA has virtually
turned down the appeal of the milk
producers, without even waiting for
this committee to report the evi-
dence brought out in the Macon !
meeting. This fact within itself I
shows what the people are up -
against in dealing with the OPA and I
other government bureaus. The very
idea of an appeal being turned down
before the evidence can be pre-
sented is repulsive to American
ideals and will destroy this country
unless it is stopped by the Con-
gress."
In the Dawson. Minn., Sentinel
April 7th issue, the Farmers Co-
operative Creamery announced in a
three-column advertisement:
"Fruitless appeals to the OPA for
an increase for the ceiling price of
milk, to be paid to producer, has
given rise to a situation whereby
local producers refuse to deliver any-
more milk to our creamery under
present price conditions. This
creamery has been paying the ceil-
ing price, permitted under OPA rul-
ings, to the local producers, and the
present situation is beyond our con-
trol. Feed and production costs have
risen to such an extent that pro-
ducers claim there is no longer suf-
ficient profit in selling raw milk to
make it worth while continuing, and
they are therefore discontinuing
sale until the OPA makes necessary
adjustments in the price ceilings.”

Tractors Are Scarce
As an example of how hard
pressed farmers are for farm ma-
chinery in producing the food-for-
victory quotas the government has
established for 1944, Senator Wherry
of Nebraska cited in Congress that
at a recent farm auction near
Beatrice 17(1 farmers posted $136,000
in earnest money as a required OPA
preliminary to bidding on one trac-
tor. Each bidder was required to
post $800 before bidding for the trac-
tor Referring to UNRRA plans to
send 30,000 tractors to enemy occu-
pied countries Senator Wherry de-
clared “we should see to it that our
farmers get the equipment we need
before we plan to send such equip-
ment to foreign nations."
