Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Wheat prices
weakened momentarily today after
announcement of Presidential veto
legislation to freeze Government
stocks, but, when selling failed TO
expand, dealers who had sold
short" began covering their posi-
tions and the market rallied quickly.
Extreme losses of about cent
were converted into net gains of
more than cent but the market
reacted again and closed with little
change compared with Saturday.
Traders said failure of much liquid
alton to appear on the veto an
nouncement was attributed largely
to the fact that a veto had been
expected and to unwillingness of
owners to sell while new crop loans
rates are above current spot market
prices. No large scale country SELL
ing is expected as long as this stu
alton prevails. Furthermore, traders
said, the Government is not expected
to dispose of its wheat stocks at
any time that such action would
have a serious market effect. The
Presidents statement that no one
can forsee how soon this wheat may
be needed attracted attention.
Wheat closed unchanged to q
higher compared with Saturday,
September SLIP, December $1.15k-
a; corn ~ lower, September 7619,

ITS Firms SET Aside
51.6 Per Cent Of
Nets for Taxes
Average Of First Half
Contrasts With 26.7
Lost Year
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Provision
for Federal taxes by 275 industrial
companies during the first half Of
this year amounted to SIG per cent
Of their earnings, compared with
26.7 Per cent last year, the National
Industrial Conference Board re-
ported yesterday.
The result was, the research Or
ganization said, that while earn
ings increased 80 percent, taxes
chopped the gain down to 20 per
cent.
In aircraft manufacturing, a sur
vey showed, the companies found
Cts per cent tax provision neces-
sary, against 211 per cent in the
1910 period. Before taxes, earn
ings were 1877 per cent higher than
in the first half of 1910; after taxes
they were per cent lower. The six
companies checked set aside s28,-
100000 for taxes in 1941's first half
compared with s3,923, 900 in the
1910 period.
Chemical firms put SO per cent
of their earnings aside for Federal
taxes, compared with 246 per cent
in the first half of last year, max
ing their net earnings decline !
per cent, as compared with a So per
cent increase before taxes.
A comparison Of Is paper products
makers showed per cent increase
in net income after taxes, against
an increase of 80 per cent before
taxes. These companies charged
off 478 per cent of their earnings
for Federal tax reserves, against 80
per cent in the first half of 1910.

excess profits levies. However, re-
suits of individual concerns vary
widely.
The stock exchange figures bore
this out. The United Aircraft fig
ures-admittedly complicated by the
fact airplane companies must charge
of unusual amounts for develop
ment of new models-showed this
startling series of comparisons be-
tween the first half of this year and
the same period year previous.
l. Sales were up 474 per cent.
2. Taxable income was 492 per
cent higher.
3. Taxes rose 1859 per cent.
4. Yet, after all taxes In the first
half of this year, the company
earned about $5,500,0
A more normal comparison ap-
peared in the figures for Du Port,
whose sales were up 70 per cent,
taxes up SCI per cent, yet which
earned, even after the big tax load,
over $53,000,0 900.
While the question of taxes and its
relation to profits continued to re-
main prime subject for Wall Street
discussion, especially as no one
knows what the final tax bill for
the defense effort will be, there
were good many analysts who agreed
roughly with the exchanges state
ment:
Taxes, so far as manage
ment could anticipate them at this
time, by no means leave the COM
panies bereft of profit"
And. 1t added, IF taxes are to be-
come OF astronomical proportions
the same term may apply to taxable
earnings"

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE.


The Far Eastern tension seems
to be a bit easier-not because
Japan loves America and Britain
the more, but because she likes
much less the dangerous position
she is in, both economically and
militarily.
Any easement is, of course. a
good easement, though 1t would
be a mistake to conclude that
Nippon has had any change of
heart about territorial expansion
or is impelled by anything else
than caution. That is to say,
it's a good time for seekers after
peace to knock wood.
An indication of Japan's can
niness is before me in the form
of a cable stating that Japan
Newsweek, the only remaining
American-owned periodical, has
received Foreign Ministry per-
NIT to make normal withdrawal
of funds for carrying on the pub
lication. So far as appears, this
is the only American firm in
Japan thus far exempted from
the order freezing the funds of
United States citizens.
Now the point of all this is that
Japan Newsweek has been sup
pressed several times-and as re-
Gently as last week-for printing
anti-Axis editorials The plain
inference must be that the Jap
anese want this anti-Axis paper
to keep publishing, and thus to
make their Axis affiliation less
pronounced. You might call 1t a
small gesture of appeasement to-
ward Washington.
Fears War Involvement.
Quite apart from this magazine
incident, however. there have
been many signs that Nippon was
driving with her foot on the
brake. The reasons aren't hard
to find, and may be set down like
this:
l. Fear Of involvement in war
with the United States and Brit
ain, especially the U. S. A.
q Growing anxiety over the pos
sibility that if war should come,
Russia would stand with Uncle
Sam and John Bull. That's no
small item, for the Red Army in
Siberia is said to be powerful,
totaling some million we'll
equipped and highly trained men.
AS opposed to this huge force, the
japanese are said to have about
100000 men on the Manchukuoan
frontier.

material was captured by the
enemy. While no actual figures
are available, it is asserted that
the loss of tanks and guns go
into three figures for each cate
CORY.
The Budyenny army now is
taking over new positions pre-
pared in advance and is said to
be in a position to offer stubborn
resistance to the advancing Ger
man forces. The situation in the
North is less clear, as far as re-
liable information is concerned.
Nobody can say how battered
the VoroShilov force is.
Race With the Elements.
In any event, the general i'm
preston in Moscow is that the
three srmies-BUdyenny's. limo
shenko's and Voroshilov's-will
be able to hold the Germans.
after yielding more terrain, for
another four or five weeks. If
they succeed in doing this, the
Germans are in for a winter
campaign. The fall rains gen.
orally begin late in September or
early In October. AS soon as they
start-and winter with heavy
snow sets in within few weeks
after the rainy season-the Ger
mans must forget all about
crushing the Russian forces and
will have to dig in, in prepsra-
ton for the spring campaign.
All the efforts of the Russian
general staff are now bent on
delaying a fatal blow; hence Sc
we're rear-guard actions are be-
ing fought with large bodies of
men. The next few weeks will
tell the story of this campaign
and possibly of the whole war.
While official quarters in
Washington profess to know
nothing of the plans of the
British in the Midle East, there
seems to be little doubt that the
British general staff contem-
plates some action in that region.
Military observers who know
the terrain in Iran wonder about
the possibilities of a successful
campaign in that region. The
British are reported to have over
quarter of a million men in
the Middle East ready for action.

Iona War in Russia Seen
Nozis Already Are Month Behind Schedule
And Have Not Reached Any Arms Plant

hundred miles beyond Rostov is an
other plant at Stalingrad.
Unless Hitler gets these in the
next month or six weeks the going
will be very hard for him, the plants
will continue through the winter
to turn out tanks, guns and planes
to pound his armies.
To get most of the mines and
plants and important airfields he
will have to move faster under the
handicap of lengthening communi-
cations from his bases in the next
month than he has moved in the
first two months. When history is
written 1t may show that his first
great error was in not having started
his Russian campaign month
earlier.
Any one who knows the Russian
winter makes no mistake about it.
There is no autumn. Winter comes
in flash on the heels of summer.
About October | Hitler will have
to deal with General Winter who
can stop an army where General
Mud fails to.
Military operations are impossible
through mud and all but impossible
when General Winter takes the field
not only in the Moscow-Leningrad
region, but 200 or 300 miles farther
south. No Gulf Stream warns the
air as in Western Europe.
The Weather Problem.
Compared to the weather in which
the Germans have been fighting,
that before them is the same as
winter in the Dakotas, Montana
and Manitoba. Hitler's soldiers
cannot lie in the open overnight.
They must have gloves to handle
mechanism or their fingers will
freeze
'Ersatz wool will not have the
warmth of the real wool the Reich
lacks. Quarters in the ruins of
towns and villages will be as un-
comfortable as they were for Ma
poleon's soldiers.
German industrial provision will
be under call for snow plows to
clear roads and all manner of
equipment which were not necessary
in the French and Balkan cam
paigns.
In their own country and climate
the Russians have only to show the
same spirit they have in the first
two months of their war to make
1t a cruel costly winter for Hitlers
soldiers. But his soldiers need not
continue to suffer from thirst. They
will have no lack of snow to eat.
Should the Germans get all the
mines and arms plants in European
Russia, there are roth coal and iron
in the Urals, and beyond the Urals
are more arms plants
In her vast length and breadth of

for succeeding lines of defense and
Russia has also room for guerrilla

allies of Great Britain that Eng
land is not being idle while the
Russians are taking it on the
chin.
1t is equally true that co-opera-
ton between the British and the
Russian armies in the East would
in all probability persuade the
Turks to throw in their lot with
that of the Allies. But the ques-
ton which seems to worry the
military men is whether a cam
paign in Iran-succeSsfu as 1T is
likely to be-will yield sufficient
advantages to make up for the
losses of men and war material.
The presence of the tourists
in the principal cities of Iran
is due not only to the desire of
Herr Hitler to hold a good hand
In that country. The tourists"
are also oil specialists who are
studying the possibilities of Ger
many exploiting the Persian
oil fields in the south and at
Kermanshah. The Germans
must necessarily expand toward
the Middle East as soon as the
results of the campaign in Rus
sian are clear. 1t is only from
there that they can get the oil
which they will need for a long
war. But they themselves can
not make use of the rich Iran
ian oil fields unless they either
capture the Caucasus e. wage a
successful war in the Middle
East.

Engineers Put Bridge
Through Dense Marsh

WITH SECOND ARMY IN AR
KANSAS, Aug. % (Pl.-The I'd
Army tested the skill of its engineers
in putting a roadway through some
of the denSeSt marsh country in
Southwest Arkansas on short notice
today. The assignment included the
task of throwing major pontoon
bridge across the Red River.
Combat conditions were assumed
as the task force worked through
jungle-like swamps to the banks of
the Red and began to forge, link
by link, a floating bridge across
1888 feet of water, capable of car
rying the I'd Army's heaviest
equipment The job was fraught
with obstacles from start to finish.
The bridge was planned in great
est secrecy by 7th Corps engineers.
To reach the spot, the 10th Engi-
neers from Dupont, Del, and the
77th Engineers from Fort Custer,
Mich, working through the night,
had to chop their way through thick
underbrush to make way for the
giant trucks with their pontoon
trailers.
From the north bank of the river.
10 metal assault boats jammed with
7th Corps Infantry were sent out
across the broad, swift river in the
early morning to establish bridge

the food and fiber needed to win

land-for the future"
Director M. Clifford Townsend of

be courting imitation if they de-
manded more than parity prices for
products as result of the defense
emergency.
Reviewing the Department of
Agriculture's program to put price

at the same time maintain feed
prices at levels sufficient to make it
profitable for farmers to increase
food production, Mr.. Townsend said
I'VE are able for the first time to
tell farmers they won't be left hold
ing the bag when the increased de-
mand drops off-and that is of vital
importance. Farmers have the
machinery to control production and
to control marketing as well. They
have guaranteed minimum prices
and can gear their programs to meet
the problems as they develop in the
months and years ahead.
