5000 From Bahamas
To Be Imported for
Southern FARMING
Agreement Signed With
British Colony to Allow
Natives to Enter u. 5.

The Agriculture Department has
signed An agreement with the BAHIA
man government for transportation
OF 5000 island natives to this coun-
try for work on farms in Florida and
adjoining States in order to meet
an acute labor shortage, the depart
ment announced today.
Recruiting is getting under way
at once in order quickly to fill labor
requests from Southern growers.
On March IS The Star disclosed
that negotiations were under way
between the Duke of Windsor's gov
eminent and the department. Fred
Morrell, assistant director of the
new Agricultural Labor Administra-
ton, signed the labor agreement for
this country and w. L. Heape, CO.
lonial secretary, for the Bahaman
government.
Under the agreement, the crown
colony will ship the men to ports
of entry in this country, and the
Agriculture Department will trans
fer them to places of employment.
Will Live in Camps.
The natives. 18 years or older,
will be housed in migratory labor
camps already in existence. the de-
partment said. Where no such
facilities exist, farmers will provide
sleeping quarters.
The department made it clear that
conditions pertaining to the island
ers would be the same as those
applying to other seasonal workers
transported by the Government.
Talk with Bahaman officials
opened early last week following
insistent requests from many Florida
growers that they were unable to
get adequate labor. Growers pro-
posed similar plan in January,
but War Manpcwer Commission
Committee ruled against it on the
grounds there still was labor avail
able.
Approved by VINO.
A similar agreement was reached
last summer with the Mexican gov
eminent, and some 5000 Mexicans
have been employed on farms in
California and in the Southwest.
The Bahaman agreement, signed
IN Nassau, has been approved by
the VINO, the State and Justice
Departments. the Agriculture De-
partment said.

Nozi Sub Activity
Increasing, Knox Says
BY he Associated Press.

by me Associated Press.
German submarine activity in the
Atlantic is on the increase, Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox said yester-
day, strongly indicating the Nazis
have begun their long-expected
spring undersea offensive, designed
to disrupt an Allied invasion of
Western Europe.
At the same time the Secretary
said that all possible preparations
had been made to meet and beat the
U-boat wolf-packs.
Another development of the press
conference was a statement by Rear
Admiral W. H. P. Blandy. chief of
the Nays Bureau of Ordnance. that
the japanese would never be able
to do to American sea forces what
Army airmen did to their ships in
the recent Battle of the Bismarck
Sea. Anti-aircraft guns on Ameri-
can ships, he said, are too effective
The amount of metal thrown by
battleship light anti-aircraft guns
is now so times greater than before
the Pearl Harbor attack and the in
creased effectiveness of fire control
and use of explosive bullets means
that aircraft fire Of our biggest
ships is 100 times better than before
the war started.
Asked about production of anti
aircraft guns, Admiral Blandy re-
ported that the 1912 output was
more than Is times the 194l output
and If the pace continues 1913 out
put will better the 1912 record more
than 80 per cent"
