The 5-5-3 Basis.

A decade and a half ago it was in
ternationally agreed that the worlds
big navieS should be maintained on
a fixed basis:
Five for Uncle Sam; five for John
Bull; three for Japan; smaller frac-
tons for France and Italy.
That dicker has gone into the dis
card John Bull has overbuilt his five.
Uncle Samuel has underbuilt his fig
ure. The Japanese have overbull,
their three. Nobody has paid much
attention to France and Italy.
There's no bargain in force any
longer.

Attempts al Rally
Meet Little Success
In Stock Market
Many Leaders Give Up
Fractions of Recent
Gains in Slow Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Attempts
to pin another small rally on the
stock market met with scant sue
cess today and many leaders re-
linquished fractions of recent gains.
Price changes, though, were viewed
as relatively unimportant owing to
the sluggishness of dealings. Trans
fers were around 100000 shares for
the two-hour proceedings. Trends
were well jumbled at the close.
While business prospects, on the
whole, were seen as an anti-selling
argument, even here there was talk
OF a letdoWn in nearby weeks.
AS on recent Saturdays, scores of
traders remained away from the
financial sector. Those who ap-
peared seemed disinclined to move
tar either way pending fresh Euro
pean war developments and clari-
f1catIon of the national tax pro-
gram.
United States Steel Skids.
United States and Bethlehem
skidded as next weeks steel mill
operations, it was predicted, would
record modest drop because of
the suspension of number of
plant furnaces for repairs. At the
same time, it was reported back
logs in this industry are suff1-
ciently large to support the current
rate of production for as much as
seven weeks in the case of one cor
poration.
Neither General Motors nor
Chrysler was able to work up any
real rising urge, Notwithstanding
continuance of satisfactory sales in
this field and the likelihood several
manufacturers would take on line
of armament contracts. At Detroit
it was estimated prices for l94l cars
and trucks would be boosted from
3 to S per cent to take care of higher
costs.
Aircraft Issues Helped.
Belief the Government and air.
plane makers would get together to
push output of fighting ships helped
United Aircraft and Sperry to edge
upward now and then
Backward most of the time was
American Telephone, which an
nounced a gain of $4,000 stations
in July versus 1000 in the same
1899 month and 1900 in June of
the present year.
In arrears occasionally were Ken
necott, Great Northern, Woolworth,
Goodyear, Du Pont and Union Car
bide. Resistant were Standard Oil
of New Jersey, Texas Corp, Ana
conda, Brooklyn n-Manhattan Tran
sit, Pennsylvania and United States
Rubber.

day, attracted support. Interna-

NEW TASK FOR
 D. 5. OUTLINED BY FAULKNER
War 10 Mean Fundamental Changes in Outlook,
 Says Speaker

Declaring the war in Europe to be "the greatest calamity in the history of the human race, H. L. Faulkner in an address today before lunch con meeting of the National Fed eration of Federal Employees said that the United States as a result faces an entirely new world in which we may escape bloodshed in our generation but in which we cannot escape the staggering blow which has been dealt to our civilization by the physical and moral destruction of this war
 A rude awakening" within the past few weeks has brought America face to face with a challenging fu- ture in which we must reappraise the rights which we have held dear, he said.
 Task for America
 We, in this country" Faulkner declared. with it's great natural resources, with it's advantageous geo. graphical position, can surely live on and hold all those things which are necessary to free people; but it will mean more work for all of us. We cannot prepare to repel force except with force.
 Tt will mean that some of our individual liberties must be sub crdinated to the freedom of the country. It will mean longer hours and fewer holidays. It will mean more production, not less. It will mean curtailment of strikes for triv- ial causes.
 Sacrifices Ahead
 "Tt will mean a whole new con- ception of the function of government and the rights of individuals. It will mean smaller individual incomes for all of us, higher taxes and the devo- ton of a larger part of the results of our labors to the common good.
 Tt will mean that we must place in office and elect to leadership competent and experienced persons. It will mean that all intelligent and patriotic persons will from now on be obliged to devote their time and energy to bringing about national unity
 We can do all these things; and when we do them we shall sec this flag, which is the symbol of all we hold dear, still waving over a land which has found peace and liberty and security and dignity again.
