While lit was made clear, that
many factors in the American situa-
ton are different and the British
system will not necessarily be fol-
lowed, it also was pointed out that
the study made by DR.. Burns and
Mr.. Dinegar would be helpful.
Mr.. Dinegar said England had
been able through concentrating in
dustries to release approximately
250,000 workers for war jobs and
to make available for more impor-
tant purposes millions of square feet
of space.
England, the observers said, has
not attempted to pool retail trade,
though their has been "a tremendous
amount" of that brought about by
enemy bombs.
They declared that shortage of
labor and space were as critical in
England as lack of raw materials.
The industries which England has
concentrated or is in the process OF
pooling, they reported, include iron
and steel, glazed tiles woodworking
jute, silk, wool, cotton, rayon, paper,
bicycles, bedding, boots and shoes,
cutlery. hosiery, jewelry, pottery and
leather goods.
Wherever possible the trade mark
and good will of an absorbed firm
was preserved in Britain, they added.

death of the Duke.
Stephen T. Early, presidential sec
retary, explained that the dinner
would be informal and largely a
business meeting because of the war
discussion that would take place.
1t was because of the Importance
of these discussions, he explained,
that it was decided to go ahead with
the dinner.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt de-

The Duke made talk at the

One year ago today the Duke Of

crash in Scotland, was in Washing

Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House.
He arrived here August 25 1941, after

the Roosevelt estate at Hyde Park,
N. Y.
Flags flew at half staff from the
British Embassy and all buildings

The President knew the Duke of
Kent more intimately than any of
the other members of the British
royal family. They met in 1885,
when Mr.. Roosevelt was cruising in
the Caribbean and the newly
married Duke and Duchess were
visiting the Bahamas on their we'd
ding trip.

farmers the same relative purchas-

agricultural expert, who was sta

predicted today that the japanese

day by the lack OF proteins in their

Mr.. Meyer. who was interned in

suffered from lack of proteins in
their meager rations during their
imprisonment. He said the Japa-

from fish, the catching of which has
been sharply curtailed by the war

the Americans and lessened their
ability to do manual labor" he
added.

the prisoners were crowded, and
that the serious lack of food kept
Americans practically half starved
