AS this is written, severe criticism is
being heard on all sides at the failure
of the Administration to furnish
strong leadership in the present critical
period, especially as regards our foreign
policy
1t appears quite obvious that the
next few weeks or months probably will
be decisive insofar as the survival of
Britain is concerned-that the Battle
of the Atlantic will be either lost or
on the way to being won by fall.
Yet the Administration is making no
moves to give to the people the facts
of the situation and what it proposes
to do to meet the problems. Instead, it
is permitting the isolationiSt leaders
Senators Wheeler and Nye and Colonel
Lindberg-to have the stage to them
selves, and they are driving hard to
capitalize on British reverses in the
Balkans and Africa. using the argu-
ment that British defeat is inevitable
in their attempt to swing public opin-
ion back to an isolationist policy.
Typical has been the AdminiStra-
tons handling of the convoy issue
Everybody in Washington knows thai
conveys of one kind or another are
being considered seriously, and most
observers believe they will be in eff
feet within a few weeks.
Yet the White House has continued

ORE PRICES
SAME AS 1910
Freight Rates Tipped a Few
Cents for Both Iron Ore
and Coal.

The 1910 prices for iron ore have beer
agreed upon for 1941 prices according
to Skillings Mining Review. The figures
as given by the Review are Old Range

each instance must contain q mini
mum of Sis metallic iron
Vessel rates have advanced to a
partial restoration of rates that pre-.
vailed up to 1885, The rates in 1910
and 1941 are compared as follows
Head of the lakes to lower lake ports
are now n cents a ton instead of 70
cents last year; Marquette to lower
lakes, 693 cents instead of So cents;
Escanaba, So cents instead of 52a;
Escanaba to Chicago district, 46 cents
instead of AZ cents. Coal rates COM
ing to the north have been raised a
matter of 4 cents per ton.
j. F. Frogett in the Daily Metal
Trade published at Cleveland in COM
menting in the new rate says:
"The determination of the new 1871
lake iron ore price at unchanged levels
compared with last year indicates full
est cooperation of the lake ore-pro-
ducing companies with the govern
ment to put the brakes on prices of
raw materials for national defense"
The Review states the situation is
confused to a large extent.
There is lot of confusion between
trying to please the government and
the labor leaders. 1t may have been
observed that the ore prices were not
established until shortly after the I'M
expected order of Leon Henderson to
freeze first quarter steel prices, and
also that his order had committed it
self to an increase of 10 cents an
hour to its army of employees.

The tenth annual minstrel show

The novelty acts, from the spindle

repeatedly interrupted the program in

Tony Martin is an up and coming
young man, who can double in brass
as singer, actor, band-leader or
radio MIC. Of late, he has been in
the news in still another capacity:
as a benefit show performer. The
services of actors at benefits are not
paid for; virtue is its own reward,
and so more credit goes to the
golden-voiced Tony for appearing
as often as he does for orphanages,
the cause of the allies, and other
worthy Embarrassing affairs.
Young Martin says he is making
his third comeback in pictures. Still
under thirty, this is rather a record
for one of the most popular musi-
clans, not only in this country but in
South America, where he recently
turned down dazzling offer to
appear at a Rio de Janeiro night
club, in order to go on with his film
work. His latest picture is "Ziegfeld
Girl" in which he stars with James
Stewart, Hedy Lamar, Judy Gar
land, and Lana Turner. He has al
ready been signed for his next
screen musical, LADY Be Good"
His earlier fling in pictures -
back a couple of years-would be
considered by most aspirants as
very encouraging, for he played in
such hits as "Pigskin Parade" and
Life Begins in College" He claims
he never felt satisfied with his ioh

velt's advisers in the earlier days OF

from Representative Crawford, Re-
publican, of Michigan, member OF

tee.
Frankly. don't think Mr.. Tug
wells background Is such as TO
qualify him for this job" Repre-
sentative Crawford told the Senate

manager was needed as Governor.
Representative Crawford protested
against the frequent changes in gov
ernors for Puerto Rico and said
more than 5000 100000 of Federal
funds had been spent there in re-
cent years.
Senator Tydings interrupted to
say that Mr.. Tugwell planned 10
stay there for life"
That may not be long" Mr.. Tug
we'll interrupted, as the audience
laughed.
Later, Mr.. TugwelI told 4 reporter
that Senator Tydings was correct In
stating he planned = lifetime job If
confirmed as governor.
Three members of the Coalition
LIST party of Puerto Rico testified be-
fore the Senate group. They said
they feared Mr.. Tugwell might hold
views similar to those Of Luis Munoz
Marin, leader of the Popular Demo-
cratic party and President of, the
Puerto Ricsn Senate.
The witnesses were DR.. Bias
Hero. surgeon; Hector Gonzalez
Blanes, attorney. and Cay Coll y
Cuchi. attorney. all OF San Juan.
P. r.
Mr.. Cuchi said that Mr.. Marin
had advocated independence from
the United States and that Mr..
Tugwell had expressed similar views.
Mr.. Cuchi said coalitionists favored
statehood for Puerto Rico and op-
posed independence.
