Cheese Supplies PiIing Up
For Lack Of Ship Space

e, the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 16-Cheese
stocks piling up in Government
hands, as revealed by Department
of Agriculture reports, indicated to
trade circles today the cows war
effort was being sabotaged from a
wholly unexpected quarter-the
German submarine.
Bossy is doing her part with rec
ord milk production, and large
amounts of milk are being turned
into cheese, compact product with
high nutritive value, which is COM
paratively easy to pack and ship
abroad.
Torpedoes ripping through oceanic
waters, however, are striking at
bossy's efforts almost as efficiently
as if they were speeding over a
Wisconsin pasture Fewer ships
mean less space for cheese.
Selectivity concerning what is to
be exported in the available ship
ping space, dairy sources think, is a
major factor in record-breaking
cold storage cheese holdings.
Dairy men point to cold storage
holdings owned by the Agriculture
Marketing Administration, Govern
ment lend-lease buying agency, in
support of their belief. While these
stocks are only minor part of all
supplies, they have shown a steady
advance, in recent months.

New Reich Securities Order
Called Expropriation :.
By the Associated Presa.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 16.-All Ger
man owners of stocks and bonds
have been ordered to turn their
holdings over to the Reichsbank and
accept in compensation Reich treas
ury bonds of current issue, the New
York Times reported last night from
Bern, Switzerland.
This amounts to virtual expropria-
ton, the Times said, since the treas
ury bonds must remain in the Gus
tody Of the Reichsbank and will be
treated as blocked securities which
cannot be disposed Of by their own
ers.
The Times correspondent inter-
preted the move as a forecast that
the German stock market would be
eliminated as a free clearing house
for deals in industrial stocks and
bonds. He said it was not yet known
whether the decree might also lead
to outright naturalization of stock
companies but that German fnan-
cial writers indicated far-reaching
developments were expected.
The primary purpose of the de-
cree was believed to be to curb
stock market manipulations and to
control war profits in conformity
with Germany's drastic regulation
of other economic activities, the
Times said.

Retailers Are Warned
Inventory Control
May Be Needed
WPB Official Says
Fair Distribution
Must Be Attained

Unless stocks of consumer goods
are distributed equitably among all
stores and communities and are
made available to consumers who
need them, "the Government will
have to lend a hand" in controlling
inventories, Joseph L. Weiner, dep
uty director of WPB's Division of
Civilian Supply, warned yesterday in
addressing meeting of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association at Chi
cago.
IF inventories and stock sales
ratios are way out of balance, then
you and the consumer will both be
in difficult position" Mr.. Weiner
declared. IF people all around the
country get the idea that the small
retailer is being squeezed too much,
they will certainly be up in arms
about it, and all retail trade will get
black eye.
Some form of balance in the re-
tail inventory picture will have to
be achieved soon. Perhaps that can
be done by good judgment and the
foresight of the retail trade itself
Perhaps it will require that the
Government step in with some form
of inventory control plan which will
enable the retail trade to achieve
balanced inventories.
"On these questions, we have our
minds open. Before we attempt any
plan, we will consult with the trade.
If any inventory control plan has
to be put in, it will not call for
dumping of stocks. 1t will be on
basis of lines, and departments in
the store, not on a store-wide inven-
tory basis. We will not regulate for
the sake Of regulating. We will look
with favor upon regulation only as
it is needed to insure equitable dis
tribution among stores and con-
sumers in our war effort"
Mr.. Weiner declared that there
must be an end to boarding "by
which some retail warehouses are
crammed with 8, 10 or II months
supplies of certain articles, while
some stores in other cities cannot
get stocks of these goods for their
customers"
"Hoarding by stores is just as
much against the public interest as
boarding by housewives he as
serted.

CHICAGO, June 16.-J. B. Hutson,
president of the Commodity Credit
Corp, yesterday said present indi-
cations are that domestic produc-
ton Of fats and oils will Offset
losses of imports created by Japa-
nese advances in the Southwest
Pacific.
Addressing q conference of soy
bean and flaxseed professors, Hut
son said it was to the interest of
this country to divide a portion of
our supplies with other United
Nations. About 1,O00, ,oo0, 900 pounds
of fats and oils normally imported
have been cut of by Japanese con-
quests, he added.
The meeting was called to con-
slider the processing of soybeans and
faxseed and the distribution Of
products derived from these COM
modities.
WV OlllCldlS WcIc UIldUlc W CSIl-
mate the extent of their recent pur-
chases of soybeans but they said q
considerable quantity had been
bought. The Government has a
program under which prices for yel-
low soybeans of high oil content
varieties are supported at not less
than $160 a bushel. The agency
offers to make loans on 1912 farm
stored beans or to purchase 1941
beans. Loans are to be made at
5 cents a bushel higher than the
base purchase rate.
Market men asserted prices of
soybeans recently have been below
the basic purchase and loan prices
on the farm in most localities and
professors were reported complain
ing because meal prices were re-
garded as too low while ceiling regu-
lations prohibit further advances in
soybean oil. Market experts be-
lieve that if soybean prices do not
advance between now and fall the
Government may be required to
make loans on a large percentage
of the new crop, which promises to
be the biggest on record.
