mould ,,noat thu r,rice cut

& Co. and Cleveland-C Cliffs Iron Co.,
large dealers in ore, announced they
would meet the price cut.
About "a per cent of the iron ore
shipped to lower lake ports from
the Northern Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin ranges, comes from
mines controlled by steel companies
and sold on long-term contracts
based on the Lake Erie price. Ore
selling companies indicated such
contracts would not be materially
affected.
However, users of ore who buy
only on yearly contracts would
benefit.
Ford Motor Co. is the only large
consumer which does not own or
lease ore mines. Ford last winter
closed contract with the Oliver
Iron Ore Mining Co., a subsidiary
of United States Steel, at unan-
nounced prices not including de-
livery at Lake Erie. Prices at the
time were reported to approximate
reduction of $1.25 q ton under
current figures, which included 80
cents for freight to Lake Erie ports.
The sale by Oliver to Ford is the
first time the U. s. Steel sub
sidiary sold ore to any but its own
companies. Steel circles credited
the new cut to this sale. It was
pointed out the Oliver cut would

NEW YORK, April 17.-Rising
tendencies of leading war stocks"
met opposition today, sending prices
into market seesaw.
A steady flow of transactions failed
to attract sufficient large-block ac-
ton to send the volume beyond
1,000,0 900 shares and, in consequence,
traders operated on fractional varia-
tions.
OF paramount importance to Wall
Street were the reports of the fiuc-
tuating tides of battle for the pos
session of Norway. In the course
of the day some papeh company
shares reached new highs for the
year.
Advancing at various times were
Bethlehem, Yellow Truck, Boeing,
Martin, Lockheed, Union Carbide,
Phelps Dodge. American Telephone,
New York Shipbuilding and Inter-
national Paper common and pre-.
ferred. Heavy tendencies were dis
played by Eastman, Westinghouse,
Standard Oil of New Jersey and
General Motors.

Rains that amounted to down.
pours in some localities and were

factor.
The market also had to absorb
above normal receipts because OF

been held under Government loans

Traders who accepted profits did
SO with caution, however, due to
European developments, and prices
rallied frequently after an early

Pan-American
Relations

There ie no better authority than
Doctor L. s. Rowe, Director General
Of the Pan American Union, on dues-
tions that concern the Republics OF
the Western Hemisphere. His recent
observations have great weight as
ne is IN a position independent from
political influences. Doctor Rowe
regards the commitments recently
made in the united defense Of the
Western Hemisphere as having been
imperative and he lays emphasis on
what he believes to be an accom-
plishment of a factor OF force In
International affairs in the develop
ment Df which the Americas are
freeing themselves from the ira
ditional thought Of isolation"
He described the dificult task
ahead and asserted that It will re-
Quire a major effort and probably
many sacrifices among the Ameri-
can Republics to adjust themselves
10 new traditions" but he express
ed high hopes that ideas OF national
sovereignty would undergo sufii-
cient moderation to bring the 81
Republics to "the level of interna-
tional cooperation which the pres
ent situation demands" Finally he
says, International security is an
requisite for the main
tenance as we'll as the primary re-
quisite of peace among the Ameri-
cas-, whom he says are now placing
their foundations for a united de-
fensive policy which will have far
reaching political and economic con-
sequences.

Fatten Up Your
Bank Account

Your taxes are going to be in
creased heavily 20 support the
promise that the United States will
keep out Of this crazy war That's
the pledge Of the existing Neutrality
Act and no matter how It may be
twisted BY politicians 1t is a solemn
promise OF this Government to the
people Of the United States. The
Debt Limit Of our Government has
been raised 4 billion dollars. That is
a serious matter.
A temporary Increase for the
next five years carries a raise Of ten
per cent On the new taxes including
the new permanent rates. That per-
manent rate schedule Jumps rapidly
In direct taxation, as shown by the
fact that a married couple with ex-
emptions OF 81, 500 under the old law
are now exempt for only $1,000.
Whereas they paid S35 on their old
direct income tax they will pay $44
under the new law. Large incomes
and business concerns certainly get
il where the chicken got the axe
in the neck.
Admission taxes for shows are inn
POSED on tickets costing more than
20 cents. Tobacco and liquor taxes
go up with a bang Everything is
taxed from matches to dues at your
club.
So you will have to lay up extra
dollars at the bank to keep you out
of snarls with tax collectors in the
future.

Preparing For War

The United States Government ID
as bewildered as the peOple-and nc
one seems TO know whether the
spending Of all these billions Of
dollars is for defense, or war-or for
both purposes. The UfiiCials Of the
Administration and Congress all
swear By the holy jinks that they
are doing their level best to keep
this country out OF the war. Never
theless, too many Of these gentie-
men now IN washington are carry
ing chips, on their shoulders, and
practically inviting the European
dictators to knock them OF.
The confusing thing about the
matter is why politicos keep right
on saying that no matter what hap
pens IN Europe Il will be impossible
for the victorB in those nassacres to
put their military machines in order
TO make any attacks upon America
for a year or years They also know,
and admit, that the war orders that
have been authorized cannot be
turned out Of the factories until
and tools are prepared
for mass production during the next
six months.
II we are TO believe half OF all we
are told. there Is but one conclu-
sion, which is that war is a state of
postponement for one-or a score Of
years-,naybe never
So, why not raise big farm crops
this year? There will be big ex-
port market In the fall, at good
prices. Exhaustive Europe will have

WHICH WAY WILL YoU GO

As a result OF Statewide highway
planning surveys the Y. s. Public
Roads Administration has issued a
number of traffic few charts. One
OF these charts gives very clear
understanding OF the number Of
passenger cars used on all u. s.
number routes and important con-
Meeting State routes. Another, chart
shows motor truck and bus trahic
on these routes.
There you have it--a plain OH
cial layout showing how the con
gostion grows in heavily populated
areas in the country because of too
many trucks, buses and passenger
cars. and vice versa.
Inasmuch as charts give the same
prominence to important connecting
routes as to the U. s. number routes
the motOrist has only to examine the
official maps TO know whether Il will
pay him to go the other way"
These charts furnish all the direc-
tions about getting around the7traf-
fie' on congested highways between
the Atlantic seabOa1d and points
west of the Mississippi.
Apparently, there are a lot of
ways that may be selected by the
motorists and by the truck drivers
between the Canadian border and |
The Southern boundaries of the Uni I
ted States. The maps have been re-
printed by the American Automobile /
Association as con-
.ributiOn to public service.
