Absence of Excessive
Speculation in l94l
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Special wartime controls put into
effect in the agricultural futures

cessive speculation and major price

ton, said today.
In his annual report covering the
fiscal year-July, l940-June, l94l-
Mr. Mehl says extra work and i'm
proved controls in the markets for
commodities important to the de-
fense effort, together with increased
margins on speculative transactions,
helped to cushion the shock of war
time impacts and keep price ranges
relatively moderate.
AS an additional defense measure
the customary checks on the posi-
tions of large traders were extended
to include detailed examination Of
the positions of all traders in COM
modities, such as cottonseed oil and
soybeans, which were threatened by
scarcity conditions and the influx
of irresponsible spectators and dis
orderly market conditions.

BOMBS DON'T DISCRIMINATE

In the present crisis the problem is not whether capital or labor is going to save democracy but whether in terms of brass tacks, going to have enough airplanes to keep this country from being dominated by foreign military machine.
 On the front soldiers don't talk about abstrac- tions like democracy, capital and labor. They stak about range, terrain trajectory and ammunition.
 All of us are the front much as if we were uniforms. We have been bombed.
 Therefore any discussion of capital and labor must be approached from the point of view of mili- tary efficiency With this in mind it appears at that there not two giants locked in desper- ate combat-capital and labor Capitalists want to win the much labor. Neither capital nor labor do business with Hitler.
 The relations between employers and employees must therefore be determined by military necessities Thus it will be that employers who fight unions injuring themselves by hndering production and unions which hinder production likewise injurng themselves.
 The key problem is production. Keep em fly ing Get out the work. The problem is not profit or loss as against high or low wages but what will make for the greatest efficiency.
 This is not the time to fight each other but to fight the enemy. Japanese and Naz bombs don't discriminate between the front office and the ship ping room.

Daylight Saving
Cincinnati Enquirer
ping room.


 The adoption of nationwide dayght-saving time-schedued for February under the terms of an act of Congress-will have some elements Of in convenience and hardship to the civilian public But not many. And the change seems well justified as war conservation measure, because daylight saving means power saving,
 Daylight-saving time, with it's later nghtfall, is pleasant innovation in the summertime, when it makes available to most people an extra hour of recreation. It is somewhat less enjoyable in the winter, when the peasanness of later twilight is offset by the necessity Of arising before daybreak in many homes
 The power saving factor however, is of more importance in the winter than summer, because the strain production facilities usually is greater The Office of Production Management has estimated that nation n-wide dayght-saving time will save about 500000 kilowatts of power annually enough to process 450,000,000 pounds of aluminium.
 It will not be possible, of course to harness all of the saved" power in production In many industrial communities the effect will be directly beneficial to armament plants But in others, even where there is no direct effect upon production through the freeing of power facilities there still will be the general benefit of conservation of coal and the other elements of power production.

MACARTHUR

Amid Far Eastern almost consistently gloomy there stands out shining and magnificent, the battle being waged by General Douglas Mac Arthur-the battle of Batan.
 It is difficult for laymen in civil life to realize what the heroic resistance of Macarthur and his men means in the cold terms of physical sacrifice endurance, courage and skill. Here is army over whelmngly outnumbered, driven back and back until Manila itself lost; army without planes an army without visible signs of reinforcement.
 Bear in mind, too that these probably real that their chance of reconquering the Philippines is remote; that the chances of being overwhelmed are far greater. In short, all the odds against them Yet they fight on doggedy, bravely.
 Daily come reports of charges made by the Japa- nese but Macarthur meets them counter attacks and successfully recapturing of the lost ground holding their own.
 Here is the stuff of which history is made. And to a truly great general this nation pays daily a grateful and sincere tribute
 Every Jap gain is being paid for in terrific price Every day of delay means that much less Jap strength shunted to the Singapore area, where the tide of battle is less encouraging And if there no planes the anti-aircraft is doing mighty

TOMORROW IS THE NIGHT

Tomorrow night Juneau residents will have an opportunity raise funds for the National Founda- tion of Infantile Paralysis the occasion being the celebration of the Presidents Birthday There are two events-the dance in the Elks Ballroom and the card party in the Baranof Hotel both open to the public
 As explained by Dr. w S. Ramsey, there has been considerable misunderstanding existing con- cerning the use to which the funds raised are put
 One half of the amount raised is sent directly to the National Foundation of Infantle Paralysis, which not only maintains the extensive facilities for curing victims of this disease at Warm Springs, Georgia but also conducts research at many univer- sties throughout the United States through grants made to laboratories and trains doctors and nurses in the specialized treatment of infante paralysis
 The other half remains in the locality in which it is raised be used exclusively for the purpose of fighting infantile paralysis and assisting in the cure of crippled children.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

JANUARY 30 SATURDAY, JANUARY 31

SATURDAY, JANUARY 31
 Benefic aspects are strong today when there will be a strong in- terest in philanthropic and chari- table movements. It is a date for making plans and readjusting rod tines of work.
 HEART AND HOME: Thi S should be a fortunate wedding day and lucky for marriage engage ments. Whatever adds to the beau ty and the comfort of the home should be added, so that in a time of changes there may be pleasant memories of the American way of living in luxury and independence. Many new positions will be open to young women next month when there will be demands for we'll educated employees.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This last day of the month should show good returns in many lines of business. The stars indicate much trading that will be profitable to the small business man. Money will be in cir culation in a flood that proves how wide is the stream of money that flows into the pockets of workers Again in the superiority of Am erican planes and tanks will in- spire false stories from fifth col umnists. Great advancement in certain manufactures for war will De demonstrated in the spring.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Differences of opinion regarding our responsi- Dility in feeding starving Europeans will be marked as reports of ex- treme suffering are brought to the United States. According to the stars we are to pursue the most humanitarian policies next month. This means that relief work will occupy large numbers of women. New phases of the refugee prob lem will develop next month and Congress may be asked to provide for countless victims of Nazi az gression.
 INTERNATIONAL FAIRS: Through many tribulations a new world is to emerge from the most terrible of all wars. The seers fore tell purifying of all nations who must rebuild upon firm founda- tions. Greed for power is to be eliminated and the true brother hood of man is to be recognized. For this hope of change in which there will be no tyranny and de- mocracy, it is written that tke United States will battle with su- perb heroism.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of a year of unex- pected good fortune. There will be extending activities and danger of deception.
 Children born on this day will be endowed with fine talents and strong characters, in all probability. The arts will lure them and music will be a chosen vocation for many. Copyright, 1942)
