The farmers plea that he has not
bought Liberty Bonds because he Is
helping his country by speeding up
food production will not stand. Every
manufacturer who Ia making supplies
for the army and navy Is doing 40
much. They're buying bonds, too.

clared that "the employees of the COM
pany could not be reformed until the

hearty cooperation in a thorough trial
of such remedial measures as may be
adopted.

stop system. -.... ... 3D..
"2 We believe that morning and
evening congestion may be relieved to
an extent by q change OF working

favor licensing and operation of Jit-
neys.

car systems would permit more ef-
ficient use OF the facilities"

The stored Caribbean Sea will be

Following this conclusion. q special
naval board yesterday told Congress
that the Charleston Navy Yard was
the most suitable station south of
Cape Hatteras for homing and repair

The report, which deals with
yards from Hatteras south through
the Gulf. says the Gulf yards are
too far from the Caribbean to be OF
great value. But, it is added some
base may have to be established in
the Southern waters, as in naval
engagements the fleets might be
isolated from their northern supply
depots and repair stations.
Such an operating base, II estab-
lished, would be either at Pensacola
Bay or near Algiers in the lower

Biscayne Bay. Fla, is mentioned
as a good location for a base fol
submarines, destroyers and aircraft
because of its command Of the Flor

an aircraft station because Of the
great Texas oil fields nearby.
