Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 14.-The grain
market turned an early irregular
retreat into a strong rally during
the latter part of the session TODAY.
Early losses ranging from frac-
tons to about a cent, the latter in
the corn, oats, rye and soybean
pits, were converted into small net
gains in some cases before the final
bell. Traders said some of the buy
ing may have been inspired by more
encouraging reports from the Rus
sian front.
Improved corn shipping business
accounted for strength in that pit
while short-covering operations APP
peared in all pits.
Wheat closed unchanged to "a

coci,y rather than by maturity.
DR.. Kayser declared that the
Nations role 20 years ago in the
first major European conflict was
highly creditable and totally de-
cisive. The role in the peace was a
different matter. Sudden with
drawal into the shell of isolation set
up those unrealities which even now
hamper our efforts in this war, he
said.
1t was particularly unfortunate,
the speaker added, that at the time
the European involvement began we
were largely still absorbed in prob
lens of internal social and economic
reform. So well were these ideas
indoctrinated that both leadership
and following find it difficult today
to shift the spotlight from internal
social reform to world survival.
Today America is faced with the
single choice of dominion or vas
salage. In world politics she must
pass from youth to maturity, if she
is to survive, DR.. Kayser concluded.

Earnings Uncertain
For International
Harvester Co.
Arms Output May
Offset Declines in
Regular Lines
Ry tie Associated Press.

BY TIE Associated HTeSS.
HOBOKEN, N. j., May 14-Fowler
Mccormick, president of Interna-
tional Harvester Co., said today that
production restrictions might lower
sales of regular products in the next
six months, but might be offset by
increased deliveries of armament
products.
Because of these factors and
other uncertainties" he told stock
holders at the annual meeting, I'VE
cannot predict the final outcome of
the current fiscal year or estimate
the effect upon the company's bust
ness or profits"
Total sales for the six months
ended April 30, first half of the fiscal
year, were 10 per cent higher than
in the like 1941 period, Mccormick
said, but in the remainder of the
fiscal year were expected to be sub
Stantially lower than in the same
period year ago.
Government orders would be
handled by the company at a mar
gin of profit which will be recognized
as fair and moderate" he said.
Harvester directors had decided to
comply under protest, Mccormick
said, with the War Labor Boards
order for Az cent per hour wage
increase and union maintenance of
membership in eight of it's plants.
The wage increase would add
about 100000 annually to the
company's payroll, he said, and was
opposed both as unjustified by in
creases in the cost of living and as
being inf1ationary in tendency.
Postwar plans had been dis
cussed, Mccormick said, and the
company's purpose was ito conduct
our business so that we may enter
the postwar period in a strong
financial position, free of debt and
its accompanying perils."
The company recently purchased
a tract of land at Memphis, Tenn.
he revealed, for possible postwar
manufacture "of the types of ma
chinery used extensively in the Mid
south and Southwest and which
could be economically manufactured
and distributed from such a point as
Memphis"
Harvester's inventories of motor
trucks frozen by Government order
were unusually high" Mccormick
said, but could not be liquidated
without Government approval. He
said inventories of new farm ma
chinery were low and probably would
continue to decline.
Plant employment had been re-
duced about 6 per cent since Oc-
tober, he said. At that time the
company had $4,000 employees in the
United States.
