Buy u. s. Defense Bonds

Peace predictions and thinking
should be put away in moth balls for
the duration. Our big problem today
is to win the war. When We get that
done. our American ingenuity win
also be able to cope with the peace
problem. In the meantime buy bonds
and stamps to supply our soldiers
with implements and food to win the
war. Peace talk at present is pre-
mature. Hitler and Gobbles welcome
such an attitude to break the morale
of American fighting men.

Remember Pearl Harbor

The yipping and yowling INDUCED in
by certain politicians for the past sew
eral years whereby votes were gar
nered from the laboring man with the
statement that miners have been and
are idle because of the use of machin-
cry "is bearing fruit. Gen Brehon B.
Sonervell, chief of the Army Ser
vices of Supply has made blanket
recommendation to the WPB" that
additional miners be shifted to the
copper mines by taking surplus workers
from the coal, iron and gold mining
industries" The suggestion will prob
ably be acted on when the manpower
shortage becomes acute as the armed
forces draw upon the nations workers.
"The surplus iron ore miners would
be drawn from Minnesota, the nations
largest ore center. Here, some miners
have been idle because of the use of
machinery in mining and other i'm
provements," says Nicholas P. Greg
DRY correspondent for the New York
Herald.
terprise sums up the matter as
follows:
Where have we heard these words
before: Here also, some miners have
been idle because of the use of
machinery in mining and other i'm
provements.' They are the present
words of Mr.. Gregory but they follow
a pattern which all of us in North
eastern Minnesota have heard in the
excavations and the chant of our
sectional politicians. They have been
repeated in some form or other so
often that great many people had
come to believe that machinery wasn't
used in operations of mines and in
dustry elsewhere, and that here on
the Iron Range large shovels, big loco
motives, and trucks and dump cars
of huge capacity were malign instru-
ments devised by rapacious mine firms,
to destroy labor. There was no
recognition that terrific overhead,
largely taxes, and other considera-
lions compelled increased eficiencies.
improved mechanisms, and so on. Out
of it all, and particularly because such
effective use of these factors was
made by rabble-rousers, We had all
come to believe that every man who
wasn't working hereabouts was out of
a Job because he was an economic
casualty of the iron ore mines"
"There will be few from here call
ing themselves miners who will be
recruited for work in distant copper
mines. There is no surplus of men
who properly qualify as miners"

FORTALEZA, Brazil, April 13 (P).
-Four United Nations merchant
ships were torpedoed and sunk last
week by submarines off the north
coast of Brazil, according to reports
published today, which said that so
far there had been no word of sur
vivors from two of the ships.
Two of the ships were identified
as United States tankers and the
other one as the Norwegian. mer-
chantman Balkis, 2,161 tons, and the
British merchantmen Empire Pere-
grine, 1900 tons.
The published reports said there
had been no word yet of survivors
of the Peregrine or of the United
States vessels.
Twenty-six from one United
States tanker were brought ashore,
13 by a vessel which picked up their
lifeboats and 13 by United States
planes. Nine members of the crew
were missing and some reports said
they had died in lifeboat.
The Norwegian Consul here said "a

ashore by a Swedish ship. He said

stewardess, sailor, mechanic and

last Friday and that the machine

Young Sees No Need
To Hike D. {. Tax Rate
To Support Budget
Unnecessary Unless
Unforeseen Situation
Arises, He Tells Hearing
EARLIER Story on Page BID
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Commissioner John Russell
Young told a House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee late today
there would be no need to raise
the present SITS tax rate on real
and personal property to support
the enlarged $56, 500, 900 District
budget in the coming fiscal year
beginning July l, unless "unfore-
seen circumstances arise"
Subcommittee members, however,
indicated they might favor an in
crease in water rates to provide
urgently needed extensions to both
the supply and distribution systems.
The existing basic rate Is $8.75 for
$500 cubic feet.
Commissioner Young's disclosure
that no additional tax revenue would
be needed in the new fiscal year
under normal conditions was made
before the subcommittee as it began
long-delayed hearings on the 1943
budget estimates.
Commissioner Young, however,
was uncertain about the Districts
tax problem after the 1943 fiscal
year He pointed out potential de-
clining revenues from gasoline
taxes, personal property taxes on
automobiles and other revenue
sources due to the war may force
the District to seek tax money from
other sources in subsequent years
to meet its annual budget.
The Commissioner was the first
witness before the subcommittee
Assisted by Budget Officer Walter L.
Fowler, he gave comprehensive
picture of the financial condition of
the municipal government in the
current fiscal year and the probable
outlook in the future.
An increase in water rates was
proposed, it was said, after District
officials revealed the Water Depart
ment, which sustains itself on rev.
enue from water rents, had spent
all but about $4,000 of its $4,000, 900
reserve in extensions to provide
water services in sections of the
District that have expanded rapidly
as result of the influx of Govern
ment war workers.
