the most rapid development Of es-
sential means Of transportation,
with particular emphasis on the
closest coordination of shipping
services in order to give preference
to the speedy delivery of those
strategic materials without which
war cannot be waged, adequate de-
fenses prepared and the economies
of our nations maintained.
In accordance with this resolution
the Axis merchant vessels i'm
mobilized in ports of the hemis-
phere which have already been ac-
quired by the governments of the
respective nations will now be
placed Immediately into efficient
and closely co-ordinated service
along with the merchant fleets of all
the American nations. To this end
the maritime authorities of all of
the republics will work closely to-
gether in scheduling and routing
the vessels under their control.
In preparing these measures Of
economic solidarity looking to-
wards the defense of the continent
and resistance against the aggressor
nations, the meeting has now opened
up the necessity Of assuring fd1 con-
sideration by the exporting nations
OF the minimum import require
ments of commodities essential to
the maintenance of the economic
life Of all Of them.
In accordance with this resolu-
ton, appropriate mechanisms viii
be set up in each country to present
accurate statements Of the import
requirements Of each, export quotas
will be determined wherever pos
sible, and in measure consistent
with eXigencies of war and defense,
mechanisms for equitable distribu-
ton will be established in the i'm
porting countries.
Equal and Proportionate.
All Of these measures were plan
ned closely with the priority and
al1ocations procedures already es-
tablished in the United States, and
on its part the United States has
already announced that it would
give to the civilian needs of the
other American republics, consider
alton equal and proportionate to
that given to its own civilian needs.
And in connection with these
problems of supply and commodities
essential to the maintenance of
economic activity, the meeting has
also considered questions of fair and
equitable prices both for imported
and exported products.
In this field it has recommended
that undue price increases be
avoided, that domestic price ceilings
be extended to cover exports with
due regard for the additional costs
involved in exporting, that import
ing countries prevent any runaway
price increases in scarce imported
commodities and that every effort be
made to assure a fair relationship
between the prices of exports and
imports Of agricultural and mineral
raw materials, and manufactured
products.
In addition to the financial and
economic measures of control to
which I have just referred, the
foreign ministers of the American
republics have reached unanimous
agreement on a number of other
practical measures for assuring the
security of our hemisphere.
Enemy Under Control.
All subversive activities directed
by the Axis powers or states sub
servient to them are brought under
rigid control Communications,
whether by telephone, telegraph or
radio, are likewise brought under
strict control, in order that they

VALUE OF A
 COUPONS TO DROP
Will Be Good for Only Three Gallons After
 Nov. P

Washington, Nov. i7.-CUP)-TAe office of Price Administration has decided to cut the value of the basic "A" gasoline ration coupon from four to three gallons in the l7-state eastern shortage area, it was learned today.
 This means that the non- essential motorists will get 24 gallons of gaso- line in each two-month ration period instead of g.
 The new cut, 1t was understood. will go into effect Nov. 9. when a new two-month page of coupons be- comes valid.
 The reduction will save an esti- mated S0,OOO barrels of gasoline daily.
 It was said to have been decided on after petroleum coordinator Harold L. Ickes held 1t was neces- sary to curtail consumption of all petroleum products on the eastern seaboard by l3RO00 barrels daily. Ickes said this Twas necessary be- cause the African campaign put 8 new drain on supplies hitherto available for the east.
 The balance of the reduction rec commended by Ickes may be made by further curtailment of fuel oil and other products, but details could not be learned.

 international representative of Lo-

 nltely. which means, according to
 ovid R. uarceau, treasurer of the
 local, that Reid Robinson has fired
 him for his opposition to his bid for reelection as president of the in-
 ternational union." The contest
 between the two men ended last Sunday, but results will not be rec leased from the Denver c, I, O. headquarters probably until Decem. Der 1.
 Driscoll was granted a leave of absence six, weeks ago to campaign in behalf of the union for re-elec. ton of Robert A, Hurley. The ac- ton of the president was received here yesterday. and was thought Co be retaliation against the local candidate for his petition to Presi- dent Philip Murray for the removal of Don Harris, an avowed Robinson packer, Other causes were also given for the move.
 The only comment which Drisco.l would make, upon hearing the de- cision was: T am disemployed, but not unemployed" He will retain his office as secretary treasurer of the state C. I. o. organization. Garceau stated that the executive board of the local would convene tomorrow night to decide what course of action should be followed, An appeal may be made to c, M. Mariana. international executive board member for district six,
 A second election among the members of the Bridgeport Local 320, the largest loca! in that city, netted Driscoll GAG votes, Robinson 80. Driscoll headquarters stated that the re-vote was held because of the fact that in the first election "tampering and stuffng tactics" were employed On the other hand, Robinson supporters asserted that under the present union constitu- ton, there is no such thing as a second election, The totals will be forwarded to Denver, and the final decision will be reached by union officials there.
