What eventual payment this ma
ton will seek for it's wartime aid
to its allies and friendly neutrals re-
NAMED to be seen. Two major prin-
ciples were involved, however. One
was the promotion of a stable eco
nomic situation throughout the world
after the war The other was the
necessity of America obtaining ad-
ditional naval and air bases to help
prevent recurrence of Axis aggres-
sion.
A report to congress by Edward
R. Stettinius Jr., lend-lease admin
istrator, disclosed that aid extended
by the United States under the act
aggregated SO, 1882, 900, 900 in it's first
two years of operation. Mr.. Stet-
tinius reported Russia was allotted
% per cent of all lend-lease ship
ments last year, including half of
all tanks shipped and 40 per cent
of all tactical planes.

TAX PLANS:
Run1I Revived

Like the cat with nine lives, the
Ruml plan to skip a tax year and
put Americas 100000 taxpayers
on a pay-as-you-go basis, was hard
to kill.
Even though the house ways and
means committee had approved a
plan imposing a 20 per cent with
holding levy from pay envelopes eff
fective July l and making ''pay-as-
you-go" optional with each taxpay-
err, proponents of the Ruml plan,
principally in the ranks of the Re-
publican minority, had ranged them
selves solidly behind bill embrac-
ing the Runl principles.
Sponsors of the house ways and
means committee tax program
pointed out that the withholding levy
would not be straight 20 per cent
deduction against wages and sala-
ries, but against the portions of such
earnings remaining after deductions
were made on the basis of depend
ents. The levy would not be an
additional tax, but merely a means
Of collecting actual taxes through
wage and salary deductions.

RATIONINC:

Americans frightened their belts in
anticipation of the simmer portions
Of meat, canned Ash, butter, cheese
and edible fats the new rationing
regulations effective March 20 would
impose.
To those who for months had been
following the Food Administrators
request to ration themselves volun-
tarily, the new estimated ration of
about two pounds weekly of meat
per person more or less" repre-
sented only a slight shift downward.
Still unrationed as the orders went
into effect were poultry, fresh fish

That those consequences were to be

PACIFIC FRONT
Step Up Air Raids

Over widely scattered fronts in
the East, Allied forces continued
their battles against the Japanese.
One major action in the Pacific area
was reported from China's capital,
Chungking, where it was announced
that the Chinese had driven the
Japs back toward the Burma from
tier above Tung-yueh in the Salween
river area.
In the Solomon Islands area,
American dive bombers continued
their attacks on Jap-held Munda,
important sea and air base.
Meanwhile Allied Liberators and
Flying Fortresses ranging all the
way from the Celebes to Wewak in
New Guinea reported the probable
destruction of 7,000-ton enemy ship
at Boetong island on the southeast
end Of the Celebes. At Wewak the
Fortresses attacked two 5,000-ton-
vessels in the harbor.

FARM DEBTS:
Repayment Rapid

How farmers are using their war
expanded income to set their fnan-
cial house in order was indicated by
a department of agriculture report
showing that more than 100000
farmer-borroWer from the IL Fed
eral Land Banks had repaid their
loans in full in 1912.
A total of 1903, OOo,0O0 was repaid
by all farmers during the year and
in addition they deposited $21 .239, 1859
to be used in paying future in
stallments on land bank and commits
sioner loans.
The demand for new farm mort
cages was about % per cent less in
the last six months of 1912 than in
the corresponding period of 1941.

MINERS PAY:
Lewis Makes Demands

Determination was one of the
qualities that had carried bushy-
proved John l.. Lewis to power in
the union labor movement. And de-
termination was evident in his de-
mand for a basic pay increase of
So for all bituminous coal miners
with minimum of So day without
exception. This challenging demand
implied a showdown between Lewis
and the War Labor board.
Before the current contract had
expired, Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
made known his desires in a state
ment before the Appalachian joint
wage conference. Unionization of all
employees below the rank of super
intendent was another major point
in his demands.
