KEYNES PLAN:
To Sidetrack Gold

Following closely on the heels of
the United States treasury's pro-
posal for a $4,000, 100000 postwar in
ternational sterilization plan came
Lord Keynes proposal for world
credit institution designed to ex-
pand world trade and serve as
genuine organ of truly international
government"
Unlike the American plan, the
British fiscal experts program
would subordinate gold as the post
war international medium of ex-
change. The announcement Of
Keynes proposal made in British
white paper said "the purpose of
the clearing union is to supplant
gold as governing factor, but not
dispense with it."
Financial observers viewed the
Keynes plan as a trial balloon.
Their idea was that a compromise
between the American and British
viewpoints would be ultimately ar
rived at.
Under the Keynes plan the clear
ing union would have executive Of
fees in New York and London. It
would operate as bank of nations,
with creditor nations allowing their
balances to accumulate as deposits,
while the union would lend these
deposits for short periods to debtor
nations, just as commercial bank
operates.

DRAFT:
Glasses Resulted

AS local draft boards speeded the
Redistribution of registrants, in &C
cordance with new selective service
regulations, the fathers of children
born before September IA, 1912,
found themselves the sole occupants
of class ga. All other men of draft
age were being placed in one of the
following classes:
1-A-Subject to immediate induc-
ton; 2-A-Deferred because of oc-
cupation in activities directly sup
porting the war effort, or vital to
the maintenance of civilian health
and welfare; 2-B-Deferred because
of occupation in war plants; &c or
3-C-Deferred because of essential
agricultural work; 3-D-Deferred
because their induction would cause
extreme hardship to dependents;

ANTI INFLATION:
Hold the Line

President Roosevelt's "hold the
line" anti-inflation order served
blunt notice on all special economic
groups that competition for higher
prices and wages must end, because
the resulting conflict would not only
result in initiation but breed dis
unity when unity is essential"
Banning further wage increases
except to correct substandard iv-
ing conditions virtually freezing en-
ployees to their present jobs and ex-
tending price controls to all cost-of-
living commodities, the Presidents
order conferred a four-pronged at
tack on initiation. The order pro-
vided:
mo further wage increases be-
yond the Little Steel formula of 10
per cent over rates on January l,
1912; 2-Immediate ceilings on all
commodities affecting the cost OF
living; 3-No hiring of new employ
ees by employers, except in accord
ance with War Manpower commits
sion regulations, to prevent employ
ment of workers at higher pay than
they received in previous jobs; 4
Sterilization of rates of common
carriers and public utilities.

NEW YORK: Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox announced that salvage
operations were progressing rapidly
on the S3,000-ton former French lin
er Normandie, now named the La
Fayette, which burned and capsized
at her pier here on February g.,
1912. He indicated that the vessel
should be righted by midsummer.
The giant liner is being refitted for
naval service.
SAN FRANCISCO: In practical
furtherance of her determination to
"help my brothers shipmates, /"
Miss Genevive Sullivan, sister of the
five Sullivan boys lost in the sinking
of the cruiser Juneau has become a
member of the naval women's re-
serve. She is at present on a tour
of war plants and navy yards be-
fore reporting for active duty. A
navy statement indicated that she
would probably go to the WAVES
training school at Hunter college in
New York city. Miss Sullivan helped
christen a new destroyer named in
honor of her brothers.

LONDON: A shipment of 10000

to replace those worn out in Britain
since the war started, it was an
nounced by Hugh Dalton, president
of the board of trade, in statement
to the house of commons after a
member complained that coal min
ers were having a hard time waking
up for their 2 a. m. shifts in British
and Welsh collieries.
MANCHESTER: The little man
who pays the taxes will probably
have to dig deeper into his pockets
to find the money to help pay for
new British taxes payable under the
new United Kingdom budget, it was
indicated by statement made here
by Sir Kingsley Wood, chancellor of
the exchequer. Britain's total ex-
penditures last year were %, 4OO, OOO,-
600 pounds. The government raised
SO per cent of this sum from reve-
nue., and borrowed the remainder
except for 900, 0O0-pound gift from
Canada. Higher taxes on amuse-
ments loom, Wood said.

PACIFIC FRONT:
dir Var Continues

Aerial warfare on the north and
east extremities of the Pacific battle
front provided for weeks the only
activity in this theater.
In the north American army
bombers escorted by fighters con-
tinued their daily assaults on Jap
positions in the Aleutians, bombing
Kiska and blasting Attu.
Largest scale action of all &C.
Cured near Guadalcanal, where
American airmen destroyed 81 out
of SO Jap planes and bombers which
attacked U. S. shipping. Americans
lost seven of their own planes in
the encounter.

The government will have to re-
capture $35 100000 in surplus
spending power if present price and
wage controls are to combat infia-
ton effectively, Chester c. Davis,
food administrator declared.
A banker as we'll as an agricul-
tural leader, Mr.. Davis recommend
ed higher federal taxes and sharply
increased investments in war bonds
to relieve the strain of "too much
purchasing power" on a declining
supply of consumer goods, includ-
ing food and other living items.
"This is no 10 per cent war;" he
declared, referring apparently to the
treasury's campaign to get 10 per
cent of salaries invested in war
bonds.

BLACK MARKETS:
Meat Supply Scarcer

Black markets were blamed by the
department of agriculture for the
reduced marketing of livestock for
slaughter in recent weeks.
In recent weeks, department re-
port noted, government buying agen-
cies and civilian consumers depend
ent on federally inspected plants
have experienced difficulty in obtain
ing meat. While the report did not
disclose how great reduction in in
spected meat supplies stemmed
from the black market operations,
it described it as fairly large"
Meanwhile seven meat packing
firms operating in the East and Mid
die West were indicted by a federal
grand jury in Newark, N. j., on
charges of conspiracy to violate
meat price regulations and meat
quota restrictions.

FRANCE:
u. S.-Britain Agree

When British Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden announced he had in
vited Secretary of State Cordel Hull
to visit London and said he was sat-
isfied there is complete agreement"
between Britain and the United
States on the future policy toward
France" he took a long step toward
settling the troublesome North Afri-
can political situation.
Seemingly on the point of settle
ment, the problem had been intensi-
fed once more when the Fighting
French took umbrage at Allied Com
mander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er's request that Gen. Charles De-
Gaulle delay his projected visit to
Algiers for conferences with Gen.
Henri Giraud.
Military men had viewed the
Eisenhower request as a perfectly
logical action. With the battle for
Tunisia at its height, the time was
not right for political discussion,
since the entire time of the French,
British and American leaders in
North Africa was occupied in WIN
ming the campaign.

RUSSIA:
Quiet on DOnetS

AS reports had persisted that the
Germans were moving many fresh
divisions to the Russian front for a
new offensive, the Red forces took
the initiative in the Kharkov area
and seized several favorable posi-
tions south of Izyum, thus widen
ing the Soviet bridgehead on the
south bank of the Donets river.
Following their failure at Izyum,
the Germans were reported massing
strength in the Balakleya sector.
A Moscow communique reported
that quiet had again descended on
the Smolensk front after a lightning
Russian thrust that resulted in the
capture of several strongly held vii
lagos northeast of the Axis strong
hold.
Engagements were but a prelude
to bigger movements, for both sides
were massing their forces for new
major actions once the spring
thawed ground became firm again.

u. S. NAVY:
Billions for Building

Further evidence of the navy's de-
termination to build itself into un-

President Roosevelt's request of
congress for $24, 551 ,07O, 900 appro-
priation for the fiscal year 1914
the largest amount ever sought for
the nations sea-ighting forces.
The President asked for $780,

BLOCK-BUSTERS:
York Well Done

The penetrating eyes of British
reconnaissance cameras confirmed
reports of Raj bomber pilots that
"block-busters" have done their
work well in laying waste industrial
areas of Berlin.
Photographs taken after one re-
cent raid disclosed that 30 impor-
tant war factories had been de-
stroyed or damaged. The devasta-
ton was concentrated mostly in
areas south and southwest of the
center of Hitler's capital, report
by the air ministry disclosed.
Railway repair shops, freight
yards and the Templehof airfield
were among detectives damaged.

Machinery
This Year Vita.
TO Victory Goal

Food production this year de
ponds upon farm machinery said
Henry Mohr, Yale oil distributor,
today.
Labor is scarce and much of the
available labor is inexperienced, Mr..
Mohr pointed out. Yet the demand
for increased food production is a
patriotic obligation which farmers
are going to meet because they want
to do it. Obviously, farm equipment
is going to be put to harder, longer
use.
The only way the existing farm
machines can meet the terrific de-
mand being placed upon them is by
most efficient use and most careful
maintenance. Farmers would do well
to keep this fact in mind always. II
machines fail now, it is not only a
loss to the farmer, it may put him
out of production and be a loss OF
vitality import supplies for our coun-
try, he added.
1.-The wise farmer will inform him
self on best maintenance methods"
MI. Mohr continued. He will choose
motor fuels and lubricants with
care, using those products which are
specialized for the job they are to
perform, and which are proved by
experience to be suited to this par
That is why we are making avail
able without cost an eXpertly pre-
pared fabrication and maintenance
record chart for tractors. We have
one for every make of tractor in
common use, and want every tractor
owner to use this chart. 1t is the
)ne way we can help win the war"
