Residents of Papeete. Tahiti
wealthy Americans as we'll as ma
tives-are facing an acute food
shortage, Eugene NJ. Cannon. head
of the Tahiti Mormon mission, said
today.
Cannon arrived here aboard the
Matson liner Lurline accompanied
by his wife and II Mormon elders.
They returned to the United States
after all Mormon missions in the
South Seas, except those in Hawaii,
were ordered closed by President
IIeber Grant of the Mormon church.
The Papeete mission was closed
principally because of a food short
age, Cannon said.
I'm August the British warship
Achilles-which participated in the
battle that was followed by scuttling
of the German battleship Graf Spec
steamed into Papeete. British nav
al officers came ashore and notified
the islanders that no more food
would be supplied them until a
plebiscite was held to determine
allegiance to France or Britain. The
natives voted for Britain. and the
British promptly took aboard the
French governor and installed a
British governor in his place." Can
non said.
Since the beginning of the war,
Tahitians have suffered from a
shortage of food and supplies. Few
ships call there any more. In the
last three months the situation has

Balanced Budget
Foreseen in State
Within Two Years

SACRAMENTO, Dec. -. (UP)-
State Director of Finance George
Killion today predicted that in
creased revenues and administra-
ton economies will balance the
budget by the end of the biennium
and substantially" reduce the de-
ficit.
Killion said hearings were Suf-
flciently completed on the l94l-43
budget for him to expect that the
request of the legislature will be
below the 1899 total Of s557 ,080 900
He said estimated expenditures for
the biennium would be about S570,-
100000.
1t is estimated by Killion that
school support expenditures will be
$1,000, 900 more in 1941-43 than the
current biennlum. and that this
increase. coupled with increases for
social welfare payments and motor
vehicle or highway expenditures,
will total s27,000,00O more for l94l-
43. The net increase in fixed charges
will be only S25,O00, 900, however,
because of an estimated reduction
in bond redemption and debt in
terest charges of S2,000,000.

DecentraIize US.
Defense Industry,
Federal Man Urqes

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. UP)-
Chester c. Davis, federal reserve
governor and agricultural represen-
tative on the national defense COM
mission, today urged decentraliza-
ton of defense industries to avoid
bottlenecks in labor supply.
Testifying before the house COM
mittee investigating migrant prob
lens, Davis said yesterday that he
believed that as the defense effort
expands this country is going to
move forward to the point of using
its great reservoir" of available la
Dor.
If defense industries are increas-
ed IN areas where they are already
established. he said, it is likely
that there would be acute labor
shortages in some sections and sur
pluses in others.
He recommended decentralization
as far as possible under the tech
nical limitations of industry.
Pointing out that there are s.
100000 partly or poorly" employed
persons in agriculture, Davis said
that decentralization would tend
to draw on this source of labor sup
ply.
Later Secretary of Agriculture
Claude R. Wickard told the COM
mittee that distressed agricultural
conditions probably will result in
more instead of fewer migrants
He foresaw the time when Ameri-
can farmers would export no prod
lcts to Europe.
