Dr. Kurt Von Schuschnigg of Austria told members of the Mal heur County Knife and Fork club in the Moore hotel in Ontario % lust Friday night. The former premier of Austria, who was imprisoned for seven years at the behest of Hitler, said the European set-up would not be like the United States of America, but would be more of a federation of states. Dr. Schuschnigg, like all German speaking people when talking in the English language, exaggerated his enunciation in order to be un derstood. In order to speak dis - tinctly, he spoke slowly. At his only meeting with Hitler, two weeks be fore der feuhrer's troops invaded Austria, Schuschnigg was told that the war was about to start and in order to protect his country as much as possible, signed a list of condi tions, which Hitler later violated. Soon after that Chancellor Schu schnigg was imprisoned and still does not know how he lived through those terrible years except perhaps “through the act of God'’. It was during his years of imprisonment th a t he learned to speak English. Central Europe of today means Germany, Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, which, along with Italy, have a population of 147,000- 000. There are 345 Austrians to the tquare mile as compared to Oregon's 10 per square mile. “T hat is one of the main reasons for the differences between Austria and the United States and the rea son for the economic difficulties”, the speaker said. “The only way out is a United States of Europe. The ideal is possible, but it might take a generation to perfect and it must come”. r The Russian zone of occupation in Austria is the most important, Uicluding the best agricultural areas and the largest industries. The speaker told oi the unreasonable demands of Russia for reparations and added that the problem of displaced persons is one of the most difficult to solve. The food situation has deteriorated rapidly since the beginning of 1947. With the Russian armies living off Austria, the country would be “better off if the occupying coun tries withdraw", the doctor said. "We face the problem of educating our young people to new ideas. In Germany the children received prac tically no education, but were filled with propaganda, which was so strong that some parents were be trayed by their own children and Imprisoned. "The problems of central Europe are mainly economic ones. Today the big military power with a defi nite trend for expansion is Russia. “The most stable currency in Eu rope is cigarettes. A package means $2 50. Nylon stockings are 40 cigar ettes, a pound of butter 250 cigar ettes and other articles as high as 7000 cigarettes. Export or expire is the motto of central Europe. "The main success of the Ameri can form of government comes from the fact that Americans have de cided they are first of all Ameri cans”, Dr. Schuschnigg said, "and are not split into nationalities as the people of Europe.

Topics of Mutual Interest Discussed In This District Representatives of the Amalga mated Sugar company plant at Nys6a are holding a series of meet- ngs with beet growers of the dis- rict for the purpose of discussing plans and prospects for the 194» season. Meetings have been or will be held at Nampa, Homedale, Nyssa, Vale, Oregon Slope and Notus. At ’he Nyssa meeting, attended by 250 persons Tuesday of tills week, topics of general interest to the growers were discussed. Joe Maughan of the agriculture staff reviewed the growing of the 1947 crop, which was the largest in history. He said Malheur county produced 508,135 tons of sugar beets from 24,068 acres, or an average yield of 20.9 tons per acre. Ted Gessel of the research de partment of the sugar company, speaking on fertilization of sugar beets, emphasized the need of hu mous and organic material in ’he soils of Malheur county and en couraged farmers to return to a better system of crop rotation. Henry Zobell, head of the com pany’s agriculture department at Nyssa, said that at the end of the 141st day of slicing at the Nyssa factory, the average tonnage of beets sliced was 3214 tons per day. It appears that the average sugar content in the Nyssa-Nampa dis trict will be about 16 per cent. This figure will net the growers approxi mately $14.20 per ton at the present price of sugar. The water situation looks fair in most sections and poor in other beet-growing areas in the Nyssa- Nampa district. Mr. Zobell also discussed the new decorticated seed, which will be av ailable to growers this year. Com mercial fertilizer supplies will be about the same as in 1947. The available amount of labor is uncertain, but it is believed that a plan can be worked out whereby growers will be supplied with an adequate number of workers. Pro bably the number of Mexicans from California will be Increased. The su gar company will have a recruiter in New Mexico to recruit Indians, who were used in some districts last year as beet thinners. The sugar company will accept beater-type topped beets in the fall of 1918, but the crowns will prob ably have to be clipped or scalped. The growers and the company have not yet come to terms on a contract for 1948, but are expected to do so soon. Gem irrigation district at Home- dale, and Maurice Greene, Boise attorney, returned Monday from Washington, D. C„ where they a t tended to reclamation business. They were accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Morgan reported th a t the bureau of reclamation is in a fav orable mood as to granting a reduc- ion In the repayment charges. The amount and other details are now in the process of being worked out. Whatever Is decided upon will have to be appoved by the land owners and be authorized by a special act of congress.
