BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS

NEW YORK, Jan. 5. - CON-
TRAST-Turn of the year spotlights
the terrific contrast between the
start and the finish of l941; a con-
trast in the prevailing economic con-
ditions no less t,Nn in the national
state of mind. A year ago, terrific
industrial expansion was being car
ried over from the end of the pre-
vious year. Payrolls were rising, liv-
ing costs were holding a fairly even
keel, free spending was the rule. At
that time the war program (then
called defense program was adj
ding greatly to the volume of gem
eral production. 1t hadn't yet started
to curtail output of consumers
goods. BY 1041s end the swingover,
while by no means complete, had
nevertheless turned the picture al
most upside down--war production
completely dominated the scene,
while dozens of civilian wares had
been knocked down (some of them
"out") by priorities, ALLEGATIONS and,
now, rationing.
Overall industrial indexes undoubt
edly will continue to rise-but all
resemblance to bona fide "boom"
will fade, if it hasn't already, in
realization Of the fact that produc-
ton of war material, no matter how
vast, does not represent real, US

per cent of all the country's Dec

Holmes County Formers
To Received $50 CouIey
Apple Trees Soon

The Delta Experiment Station,
Stoneville, Mississippi, advises that
it has $50 Cauley apple trees ready
for shipment to Holmes County far
mers. This apple was found in Mis-
sissippi and is one of the best apples
that has been grown in the State
according to fruit experts. We are
trying to distribute these $50 trees,
10 to the person, so as to get them
in different communities of the
county.
If you should be interested in 10
of these apple trees, please get in
touch with the county agents office
at once. If we do not accept these
plants by February, / other coun-
ties will get them.

w. S. Skipper" Meriwether, beloved ed
who knows more tbout the Navy and naval
history than any other editor in this state,
agrees with Prime Minister Winston Church
i'll in the statement that Japan has under
taken a considerable task. He says:
1.-The Pacific is the largest body Of water
in the world. Within it is Japan, with its
100000 900 people. Within it are the Phil
ippines, nearly 20,0O0,00O, and the Dutch
East Indies, 68,O0O,O 900, the two almost eq-
ualling in numbers the entire population of
Japan. Japan starts war against both and at
the same time begins war against the Unit
ed States, the British Empire and Russia
which, with China, brings the number of
her foes to more than half the population
of the earth. Cocky beyond all words, but
what can Japan hope to accomplish against
these odds? She has had some initial sue
cesses, the assassin raid on Pearl Harbor,
the capture of British Hongkong, and the
invasion Of the Philippines.
About those Philippines! It took years
for the United States to subdue the insur-
rection which Aguinaldo started, two full
years to conquer savagely-fighting peo-
pie armed only with spears, bolos, and the
kriss. But since then the Filipinos have been
thoroughly amalgamated with this country,
more than 100000 of its young warriors
have received military training by U. s. Of
ficers. aro now armed with modern weapons
and are fighting Japan with the same saw
age ferocity they fought us 40 years ago.
"Take look at this other angle. Japan
has to import everything she needs for army
and navy equipment, all steel, iron, copper,
and other ESSENTIALS. Now that she is at war
every ounce of these essentials are cut off
from her. 1t is only question of time when
this war of resources alone will make itself
felt, only question of time when her house
of cards will tumble into an utter wreck
and Japan as a nation will disappear. AS
Churchill says, one can we'll question her
sanity.

strategic material for which we're
largely dependent on open sea lanes,
safe sources in the far Pacific. AL
ready OPM has frozen" tin sup
plies. Essential food items probably
won't be affected much by tin can
curtailment, but things like beer,
candy, tennis balls, cigarets, cof-
fee, cocoa, dog food and fancy
fruits will have to use non-metallic
containers . ALLEGATIONS Of wool
textiles will reduce by so to so
per cent the supplies thatll be avail
able to manufacturers for produc-
ton of civilian wooden goods. Textile
experts say this won't necessarily
cut down, right away, on the num-
Der of wooden garments to be pro-
duced, for the makers have large
stocks of rags, waste wool and soiled
wool that can be cleaned and rework-
ed, in combination with smaller per-
centages of new wool. Those smaller
percentages of new wool, and more
use of reclaim" wool may bring
some lowering in quality of garments
though Beginnings of return
to home craftsmanship are seen as
the result of rises in clothing costs
and silk hosiery scarcities. Shop
windows are again featuring home
hosiery-mending machine, and pat
tern companies report booming sales
as more housewives take up home
sewing.

for such high ratio to continue
indefinitely--but the fact that it's
even expected to reach that figure

Industrial centers are feverishly
moving ahead with the massive job
of complete conversions job which
involves the relocation of thousands
of men and tools. One auto concern,
Willys-Overland Motors of Toledo,
last week announced that it has
virtually completed it's change-over
from partial peace-time operation to
complete wartime production. Vol
ume output of 'jeeps" has reached a
peak level, and production Of ar
tillery shells and gun parts is going
ahead full swing. The stage was set
for complete conversion several mon
tbs ago, according to Joseph w. Fra
ger, president of the company, who
explained that every inch of its g.
100000 square feet of factory space
will soon be occupied with war pro-
duction.

Commissioner Pagan of Puerto Rico. and Delegate Dimond appeared before Senate Committee on Education and Labor which was considering the bill and insisted that the citizens Of the territories be accorded the same treatment in the proposed legislation that was given to citizens in the States. The Delegates particularly pointed out that the living conditions in Alaska and Hawaii are at least as high as those of the States that in Alaska and Hawaii all the internal revenue laws of the United States apply in full force and effect, as we'll as all custom laws: and that the citizens of the territories are not exempt from any tax or obligation to which the citizens of the United States who reside in the States are sub ject. Accordingly before the bill was reported out it was amended so as to include Alaska. Hawaii. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands within the term United States. and the citizens of Alaska and Hawaii are given identical treatment with that given to the citizens who reside in the States.

 The Region 10 officers have set a production goal, 100 million feet of high-grade logs per year for the duration of the war.
 MT. Heintzleman is now in the States for the purpose of perfect ing the organization Of this large program. Forest Service timber cruise parties have been in the field for some months gathering the nee essary data in anticipation of this program.

Alaska Spruce
 Will Be Rafted SOutbFOr War

The extensive spruce forests ot southeastern Alaska will soon be making an important contribution to the Nations war effort accord ing to Assistant Regional Forester Wellman HolbrOok of the Forest Service. The Secretary of Agricul- ture, on June 5, approved an agree ment between the Commodity Credit Corporation and the Forest Service under which the service. acting as a Corporation agent, will conduct a large enterprise for the production of spruce logs suitable for airplane lumber from selected areas in the southeastern part of the Tongass National Forest, Southeastern Alas ka. Only the larger and higher quality trees are to be cut This new source of log supply from the northern end of the Pacific Coast spruce belt is expected to aid sub stantially in meeting the increased demand for spruce of airplane grade
 The Commodity Credit Corpora tiOn has made available to the For est Service a revolving fund of 212 million dollars to cover field oper- ations of the enterprise The Cor pOration will also meet the extra administrative costs to the Service which will be involved
 Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman of the Alaska Region, assisted by Mir Holbrook, will have general responsibility for the pro- ject. Directly in charge will be Charles G. Burdick, Assistant Re- gional Forester. and J. M. Wykoff, Forest Inspector both longtime members of the Alaska Region per sonnel and well acquainted with the local logging methods and problems.
 The Commodity Credit Corpora ton will buy the stumpage from. the Forest Service after which the Regional officers will contract the logging to numerous independent logging concerns, contract the as sembly of the logs into Davis raftsI
