After reduction to 40° again it is ready for bottling. The bottles have been sterilized for 30 minutesin washing ma- chines. The biggest one can toss off 66,200 bottles in an 8-hour day.

Polish Action Particularly Is Blow to Germans. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, April 17.—Dazed by the fact that even Germany's official friend, Poland, voted in favor of the Geneva resolution of censure, Wil- helmstrasse officlals gathered today to determine what official attitude Ge:many shall adopt. While Germany fully expected the satellites of the three powers that met at Stresa and Russia to support the League resolution, German offi- cialdom seemed frankly disappointed by Poland’s attitude and intimated surprise that Germany's old comrade in arms, Turkey, and the Latin Amer- decided to approve the Franco-British- Ttalian resolution. The evening newspapers, with one accord, denounced Geneva’s action. Some of the diplomats on the Wile helmstrasse regard the unfriendly nae ' ture of the resolution as less impore tant, however, than the insistence by the League Council upon the stricter application of the League covenant. e Subsidiaries Plan Studied. ‘TULSA, Okla., April 17 (#).—E.
