DAKAR COMING OVER

Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
told the house Of commons today
that American authorities in Africa
We're discussing with French Off
Gals the use of ports and other
facilities of West Africa, including
Dakar, b. the Allies.
Other authoritative sources here
said the Allies expected to get the
full use OF Dakar. which is excel
lent as an antiSubmarine base
I have Just returned by airplane
from North Africa, where the now
tanned Darlan is energetically
making friends and convincing
Americans that he is cooperating
100 per cent in the war TO defeat
the AXIS.
GOOD WORK
I have talked at length with
American authorities, and it can
be said that Darlan's work in bring
ing the Dakar air, sea and Submar-
inc base 20 tn. Allied side was re-
garded az great contribution and
went far to convince Americans OF
his good faith.
At Algiers I saw Darlan twice.
There is no reason to believe that
he will fail to dig himself in per-
manently if he plays ball.
Darlan was heavily tanned with
very red cheeks and appeared to be
in the best Of health. He wore a
dark blue suit, blue tie and black
felt hat. He was continually smil-
ing and talking and was extremely
friendly with Americans.
DISLIKES BRITISH
Darlan still bears hard feelings
against the British as a result of
the Mers El-Kebir naval battle and
always refers TO Americans anG
their allies mentions the
British by name.
My sources pointed out to me that
Darlan's hope Of permanency in
his leadership is improved by the
fact that he is probably the only
man with authority TO throw ali
Africa into Allied hands and turn
French sentiment-Which was un-
certain before he came over-to
the side of the Allies, permitting
the fullest cooperation and side
tracking passive resistance and sab
otage which it was believed might
have occurred.
IF it had not been for Darlan,
who could control Africa. We would
have been in tough spot my in
formantS said. The Germans could
have established themselves quicker
in the east"

a certain extent. Motors, mail orders

The Dutch Harbor bombing ap-
parently did as much as anything
else TO put crimp in peace talk,
although bullish sentiment was sus-
tanned by the repulse of the Jap
anese at Midway, continued aerial
blasts at the Germans and en-
couraging bulletins from other in
ternational sectors. Hopes of
more lenient tax bill at home also
were seen as a factor in bolstering

Nation Can Support
200-BiIIion Debt,
Economist Says
Virginia Bankers Told
All Glasses Must Have
Stoke, However
BY the Associated Press.

% bhS AeoONAaIcA EACSSs
ROANOKE, Va, June 5--''A debt
Of 5000 ,000, 900 ,o00-yes, even more
can be supported by this powerful
democracy" DR.. E. A Kincaid, con-
sulting economist of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, de-
clared here today.
But. warned Dr. Kincaid, former
professor at the University of Vir-
ginia at the opening session Of the
49th annual convention of the Vir-
ginia Bankers Association at Hotel
Roanoke, carrying of debt of this
figure will be possible only by main
tanning national income of around
s120, ,000, 900 900 a year
There will be no danger to the
debt" he also pointed out, IF every
class has a stake in that debt"
None would gain by reputation Of
the debt if all had part in it.
The great infiations of Germany
and France, following the first
World War, and which, he said,
broke the spirit of the great mid
die classes" of those two countries,
came about because the great bulk
of the bonds in those countries had
been purchased by the upper middle
classes
To have paid interest on those
bonds-held by the upper middle
classes-would have taken a large
portion of the earnings of the la
boring classes and farmers, and
since these were the most numerous
voters in the countries, this would
! not be done Neither, because of
the influence of the middle classes
| could the debts be repudiated.
The only answer was imitation
and by imitation the two countries
paid of their obligations, but ruined
the middle classes and led to the
chaos that subsequently engulfed
Europe.
War savings bonds in this country
must not be concentrated in the
hands Of the upper and upper middle
classes if the national debt is to be
safe. Kincaid declared.
Officers were nominated at the
morning session, and since only one
man was named for each post, nomi-
nation was tantamount to election
They are: G. c. Mccall of Norton
president; w. A Roper of Richmond
first vice president, and Charles T
O'Neill of Charlottesville, second
vice president.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Wheat prices
we're down a full cent a bushel at
one time today and corn sagged al
most that much as the grain mar
ket's recovery OF the past two ses-
sions was halted.
A letup in demand from the mill

for the reaction in wheat Un-
easiness because of war reports
from the Pacific also was a factor
and the market largely ignored
Kansas messages telling of crop
deterioration in some parts of that
State the past week or so. One re-
port suggested bumper crop pros
poets in some localities have been
reduced.
Short covering and recognition Of
the Kansas crop reports produced
a late rally and wheat closed un-

Tire Order Called Threat
To Florida Food Output
EH the Associated Press.


TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June S.
Nathan Mayo, Florida commissioner
of agriculture, today protested that
a Federal tire conservation order
requiring farm products truckers to
carry loads both ways will para
lyze the production of foodstuffs in
this State"
In a letter to Joseph B. Eastman,
director of defense transportation,
he urged modification of the rule
to exempt truckers hauling farm
products exclusively. Farmers
themselves already are exempt.
There is hardly any doubt as to
the willingness of these operators to
secure and transport return loads"
he said. but to make that condi-
ton precedent to hauling produce
to market will not only create a ter
rible hardship upon the trucker, but
will paralyze the production Of
foodstuffs in this State"
