 Under the revised Agriculture Ad. justment Act, the marketing quotas were invoked this year for the first time. The farmers favored them al an election May 31. Eighty percent voted for them.

Price Ceiling Talk
 Increases, East Coast; sE Salmon Industry Hif
Radiophoio

NEW YORK, August 26.-Talk of Federal price ceilings on some food- stuffs. particularly canned goods, occupied the wholesale food markets today as unconfirmed reports of price order written to put ceiling of $250 per case on cohoe salmon touched off the discussion.
 The trade also heard what it thought might be a sample of the way the Government planned to fill it's needs of canned goods. The AL aska Salmon Packers were told, ac- cording to dealers, that the Govern ment will require million cases of specifized sizes of cans, and the packers were warned, the report said, not to evade the order partially by packing an abnormal number of cans of other sizes and then claim ing they are unable to furnish the required amount.
 Some canners expressed the Opin- ion that this is the set pattern of similar moves to acquire canned fruits and vegetables and meats, and those who fail to respond or quote prices that the Government consid- CTS too high might be required to furnish their proportionate share at prices the Government sets.
 This will include, if necessary, the recall of shipments to commercial customers, the trade said.

WASHINGTON = The President in his private report to Congression- al leaders on the historic conference with Winston Churchill, warned them that the Far Eastern situation was extremely critical.
 He assured the legislators that no secret alliance was discussed or agreed to at the ocean meeting, and stated again that the United States was no nearer involvement in war than before. But he said the Nazis were exerting every influence to push Japan into an overt act against the U. s. and Britain, and that it was touch h-and-go whether moderate ele- ments in the Japanese government could prevent explosion.
 The President also indicated very definitely that any further Japanese encroachments would be met with "strong measures" He did not go into details, but his callers were con- vinced that the measures implied joint action by the United States, Britain, Netherlands, and Russia; also. that the four powers are ready for instant action.
 Roosevelt expressed his belief that Russian resistance to Hitler would continue even if important Soviet cities fell before winter He declared that as result of fierce Russian fighting, the Nazi timetable had been completely upset; they had been forced to shift from blitzkrieg tactics to a slow war of attrition.
 This meant heavy losses on both sides and, as result no likelihood of an attempt to invade Britain this year. Roosevelt warned, however, that this did not make the British position any less precarious.
 The Nazi-Vichy alliance indicated that the French fleet soon may be thrown against the British in the Mediterranean. Combined with what is left of Mussolinis battered navy, such move might force the British

A SAMPLE CASE

Let's see what happens. A CO., operating farmer was told last sum- mer that his wheat allotment was 100 acres. He planted that. To keep the figures round, let's say his nor nal yield and actual. yield were the same, 10 bushels to the acre. Nov what can he do? He can take a government loan on the 1000 bush els at 98 cents (which virtually amounts to selling it to the gov ernment at that price). That brings him $980 The benefit payments at 18 cents, bring in $180 more-or a net of SLIGO
