The United States can best serve

pregnable and taking the lead in
seeking a negotiated peace.
I'VE can defeat Hitler in war or
in peace in this hemisphere" he
said.
A stalemate is most probable in
the war and for us to enter would
mean loss of our democratic in
stitutions. Mr.. Thomas said.
The1r contentious were disputed
by Stanley High. author, and Ralph
Ingersoll, editor, who declared the
United States would be much worse
off if Hitler wins in Europe.

American aid to Britain is the real
crux of the situation confronting

Accepted as definite German pol

Berlin or Rome.
For 10 days I tried as the war
went on to send from YugoSlavia the
story of the determination of these
people to resist the armies closing
in on them.
I wrote dispatch after dispatch
telling of the need for planes and
tanks to support the large but in
adequately equipped Yugoslav Army.
But the attack was so sudden, the
confusion so great. the disorganiza-
ton so complete that there never
was an opportunity for communlca-
ton with the outside world.
Arms Taken to Mountains.
When the news of an armistice
finally came through, the trek to
the mountains began. Men left their
regiments and took their guns, am
munition and equipment with them.
Their commanders said nothing
In a Dalmatian seaport I sat at
restaurant eating fish and black
bread one night when a dark
skinned young Montenegran soldier
was uShered in. He was in his
20's: his eyes we're alive.
You are going to leave my coun-

said, you must take me with you.

Reinforced Garrisons
In Pacific Urged
As Aid 10 Britain
Speaker at Booksellers
Meeting Would Keep
Entire Fleet in Atlantic

The United States should strongly
reinforce the garrisons at its Pa
cific possessions Immediately in or
der to release the Pacific Fleet for
duty in the Atlantic. the American
Booksellers Association was told at
the opening luncheon of its conven-
ton at the Willard Hotel today.
The speaker, Capt. w. D. Puleston,
United States Navy retired, de-
clared the Pacific Fleet should be
| freed in order to aid in saving the
United Kingdom.
If this step is not taken at once,
he said, this country might find it
self the object of "a squeeze play"
by Germany and Japan. He said an
attack by Japan on our Far Eastern
possessions would be unlikely if the
garrisons of soldiers and Marines
were at top strength.
Mrs. James Speaks.
Also speaking before the 800 dele
gates was Mrs. Concha Romero
James, chief of Intellectual Cooper
alton Pan-American Union, who
stressed the idea that the exchange
of books between American
countries probably is more valuable
than the exchange of students and
professors when considering estab-
lishment of better understanding.
Books are more likely to be hon
est documents" whereas students
ana professors necessarily must say
nice things" when on visits, she
declared.

James F. Stiles, jr,, of North Chi

panies' be granted additional relief
from what he said was unjust dis
elimination" in the excess profits
tax law.
The witness, vice president and
treasurer of the Abbott Laboratories,
suggested a formula for determining
excess profits taxes related to a
firms pay roll rather than to in
vested capital or average earnings,
the formulae now used.
He said he offered his proposal, not
as substitute for present methods,
but as an additional method.
His proposal, he added, docs not
interfere with the defense program
but it does encourage industries to
keep on growing and find new ways
to replace materials now needed for
defense"
Defense Profits Tax Rise Sought.
Sentiment for much sitter taxes
on the profits of defense contractors
developed in the committee, but
members agreed that sharply in
creased levieS on small taxpayers
were inevitable if So 500 900 900
more revenue is to be raised.
Legislators advocating more drsS-
tic excess profits taxation argued
that in addition TO increased busi-
ness produced by the defense pro-
gram, industry had obtained major
concessions from Congress in the
SuStension of Limitation laws
on naval shipbuilding and aircraft
contracts and in the law permitting
five-year amortization of plant eX-
panSlOn costs for tax purposes
Manufacturers held back last
year and refused to take defense
contracts until Congress granted
those concessions" said Representa-
tive McKeough, Democrat, of Illi-
nois, land the excess profits tax We
enacted in substitution was not
worthy of the name"
Further Word Awaited
Before deciding on exactly how to
make the excess profits levy produce
by additional S40o,o000OO, as sug-
gested by John L. Sullivan, Assistant
Treasury Secretary, committee
members were awaiting further word
from him. Mr.. Sullivan was report
ed seeking an agreement on the

South ST. Paul, Mimi, June II,
1941: Buying demand for virtually
all classes of slaughter cattle showed
a decided shrinkage from the past
two weeks. Steer prices ranged
weak to Csc lower than last Friday
with mediumweight and heavy steers
bearing the brunt of the decline, &C
cording to the Federal-State Market
News Service. Heifers held about
steady, but cows lost fully Csc and
in spots were SOC below the high time
of last week. Bulls also declined,
losses measuring generally Csc. Stock
ers and feeders were in light supply
and held steady. Vealers held steady
on Monday and early Tuesday, but
the market weakened on late rounds
Tuesday. A few strictly choice veal
ers hit $11.50. Choice grade slaugh-
ter steers topped at S11 and similar
grade heifers reached S10.75. A few
good stock steers brought $10.25.
Hog Values Lower.
Successive losses on Monday and
Tuesday pushed hog values 15c to
zoe below the close of last week.
Tuesdays top was S9.75 for several
loads sorted 100 to 240 pound weights.
Bulk of the good and choice $50
to 27O pound hogs cashed at $3.50
to S9.75. while most 270 to $50 pound
offerings turned at S9.40 to S9.65. A
few bigweights sold down to $3.50
and most 40 to $50 pound averages
made $3.50 to 500. Good sows of
all weights ranged from $9.05 to 1920,
mostly 500 to $500. Feeder pigs
were about steady with late last
week, bulk sales being made at $40
to $1O.25.
