Liberal Supplies
Weakens Market
Slaughter Cattle Off 15c
to Csc; Fat Lambs De-
cline; Hogs Close Strong.

South st. Paul, Mimi, April l.,
1941: Rather liberal marketing of
cattle at the opening of this week and
a slight touch of weakness in the
dressed beef trade influenced a low
ering of slaughter cattle prices to the
extent of 15c to Csc and trade was
generally slow at the decline. Stocker
and feeder cattle were in broad de-
mand, though, and sold mostly Csc
higher. Bulk of the medium and good
slaughter steers cashed at $8.75 to
$40, only few making up to Sill.
Gamer and cutter grades of cows
got moderate action at SIS to Sc. Bulk
of the stocker and feeder cattle of
common and medium grades brought
So to $3.50, some good and choice
$40 to $11.50. Vealers sold steady
with good and choice at $3.50 to
Sill.
Fed Lambs Down.
Fed lamb prices drifted slightly
lower after week of levels generally
at the seasons high. Quality again
played major part in the decision
r e C h I'd as to established price,
marked deterioration noted in some
shipments, with fed lambs declining
generally 15c, instances a quarter
off. Other slaughter classes held
steady money, but acutely scarce.
Weakness prevailed for feeding and
shearing classes. Majority of good
to choice fed lambs cashed from SLOTS
to $10.85, slaughter ewes of COM
parable grade making Sc to $6.75.
Best price reached for shearing lambs
was $1,000, "a king two loads 81
pound averages.
Hogs Steady.
Attempts to lower hog values on
the weeks opening session were only
partly successful, and although some
of the heavierweights were bought
lower early in the trade, by the close
most barrows and gifts were steady,
only sows showing SC to 1Oc loss.
Tuesdays trade was strong with late
Monday, top of $3.50 being paid
freely for good and choice 1870 to
230 pound weights while the bulk
ITO to 240 pound offerings moved at
$3.50 to $3.50. Similar grades 240
to 270 pound hogs cashed at $7.2O
to $7.55, while 270 to 800 pound
kinds made $40 to $7.35 and 800
to $50 pound heavies brought $500
to $7.15. Most 40 to ITO pound light
lights moved at $7.25 to $3.50. Good

Ang|o-U. 5. Cooperation
After War Seen by Casey
b. the Associated Press.

by tne associate fIcSe.
NEW YORK. May 22-Richard G.
Casey. Australian Minister to the
United States, said today he believed
it would be lust as essential" for
the American and British peoples to
work together after the war. al
though it would be more difficult.
In a speech before the Advertising
Club of New York. Mr. Casey said
that standing in the way of post
war collaboration were historic mis-
understandings between Britain and
America" and a distorted" view
held by some here that Britain has
no democracy worth the name-and
that she sits at ease and exploits
the British Empire for her own
proflt-in other words, that Britain
represents something that runs
counter to the American ideal"
But. he said, "if We wrap ourselves
up in the Union Jack and YOU wrap
yourselves up in the Stars and
Stripes. then I, for one, be-
come very pessimistic about the
future. not only of our respective
countries, but about the world as a
whole
After the war. Mr.. Casey said. we
will all be in various degrees of ex-
haustion-physical, material. finan-
cial and economic. We will have
problems to tackle. Il believe
that neither the United States nor
the British Commonwealth of Ma
tions by themselves, and working
separately, can solve these prob
lens. And if We don't solve them,
we are sunk"

Still another development today

forces in the French Caribbean
island of Martinique had received
orders to prepare for an American

The Paris newspaper lie Matin
said the defense Of Martinique would
center on a fortress. where huge gold
reserves of the Bank of France are

would blow up the fort as last re-
sort.

cred stiff warning to the French
government at Vichy that if France
pursues her declared policy of COL
laboration" with Germany, British
forces will strike the enemey
without any distinction between oc-
cupied and unoCcupied territory"
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, advising Parliament on the
possibility of open hostilities between
the allies of less than a year ago,
declared the Vichy government had
embarked on a course which must
place the resources and territories
of France increasingly at the dis
posal of Germany"
Held Undeclared State of War.
Swiftly on the heels of this warn
ing, qualified sources in London said
Mr. Eden's statement meant an "un-
declared state of war" against
France.
One source predicted a tighter
blockade of unoccupied France and
refusal henceforth to grant navi-
certs for ships entering ports under
Vichy's control
This source said Vichy has been
allowing German motor torpedo
boats to reach the Mediterranean
through the Lower Rhone River.

mated damage so far at 100000.
There were some 60 smaller fires
in the province, one of which almost
wiped out the village of Montbeil-

Numerous other fires were near
Aylsham, in Northeastern Saskatch-

La Guardia Explains
Civilian Defense
Coordination
Several Subdivisions
Of New Agency to
Be Set Up Soon
BY JAMES FREE.

The framework of the new Office
of Civilian Defense was outlined
here today by Mayor La Guardia of
New York who asserted that its
main function will be to weave all
the loose ends of the defense pro-
gram into a solid fabric"
Mr. La Guardia. who will add di-
rection of activities of the new
agency to his present duties as
Mayor, said:
There are hundreds of organiza-
tlons all over the United States
eager to go to work. This agency
must coordinate them and assign
them to specific tasks"
Subdivisions TO Be Set Up.
Several subdivisions of the o. c.
D. are to be set up as soon as pos
sible. he said, and these will include:
l. A division of public safety, to
spot air raiders and take precau-
tions TO protect life and property
from fires and other menaces of
attack
2. An engineering division to train
personnel for clearance of hlehTays,
bridges and other traffic facilities
and to maintain water supplies, gas,
power and public utilities.
3. A division of shelter ard food
supplies, to prepare for probltm ms Of
evacuation, welfare, housing and
food
4. An Office for providing facts
and figures to the public. He de-
scribed this as not a publicity or
information division, but a bureau
to give facts and flgures-vou tthe
newspaper reporters can supply the
imagination"
Training Courses Planned.
Training courses will be given, he
declared at press conference. to
prepare an adequate number of per-
sons for assistance with general
health and hospital work that NAV
be needed in the event of an attack.
Several women's units are planned.
he said, and they probably will be
the only groups to have costumes or
uniforms. Their duties, he ex-
planned, will include first aid. re-
moval of injured, care of children
and nutrition.
There will be voluntary registra-
ton of men over draft age and the
o. c. D. may requisition the
names of men given deferred
status in selective service. he said.
The services Of children can be in
valuable in collection of materials
for salvage purposes, delivery of
messages and the like.
Probabilities are about e5 Ier
cent at this time that we won't get
into action Mayor La Guardia de-
clared, but We can't take a chance
on that per cent" He commented
that back in February he had
figured out chances of staying out
OF the war at 81 per cent.
Paul V. McNutt. Federal Security
administrator. will be one of the
members of the Board for Civilian
Protection, which will serve as an
advisory body to the o. c. D., ac-
cordlng to Mayor La Guardia.
