DON'T ALLOW AN "oUT"

SUCCESS OF a lead-throwing
end-play depends upon making
certain that your opponent will
lead back something which you
desire him to lead. Many efforts
along this line by average players
fail because of inadequate prepa-
ration. often they throw the OPP
ponent in at a time when he has
an "out"-when there Is some
card he can lead without damage
to his side. Eliminating that card
from his hand will render him
helpless

Steady Improvement
In Nickel Supplies

TORONTO, April % canadian
Press The situation with regard
to the supply of nickel available for
war equipment and other needs
has improved progressively in recent
months due to increased output, re-
turn of nickel-bearing scrap to steel
mills and conservative measures
adopted by the government and in
dustry, Robert c. Stanley, chairman
and president of the International
Nickel Co. of Canada, Ltd, told
shareholders today at the company's
annual meeting.
Research on scale never before
attained is bringing new products
into use said Mr.. Stanley, and nickel
is playing an important role in this
respect. These efforts would help to
bring about postwar prosperity. With
ultimate victory now certain it was
the duty of industrial management
to prepare now for the return of
peace, he said.
Reviewing the company's finances,
the president said the company's net
profit in 1912 was $33, ,3O1 1929 in
United States funds, after deducting
taxes, compared with $34,356, ,40l in

To Weigh Proposal at
Meeting Here Today
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A job control system devised
originally for local areas with labor
shortages, including the Washington
area, may be extended soon to the
entire country.
The proposal already approved
in principle by the War Man
power Commissions National Man
agement-Labor Committee, is ex-
pected to be submitted by Chairman
Paul V. McNutt today to the full
commission.
If the commission approves, the
Management L abor Committee,
composed of three representatives
each of management, labor and
agriculture, is scheduled to work
out a specific employment stabil-
ization program" for all areas lack
ing local controls.
The objective would be to permit
workers anywhere in the country to
shift from one essential employer to
another for higher pay. Under Mr..
McNutt's recent job-wage freeze"
order, such shifts can be made only
in the 70 areas where stabilization
programs are in effect and in the
few regions which have adopted
local programs.
The proposed national system
would follow the local programs in
authorizing job transfers when es-
sential workers are released by their
former employers. or. if the latter
refuse, by the VINO or it's affiliated
United States Employment Service.
Workers both inside and outside
of local programs would be assured
of such releases if they were fired,
laid off for long, or were not used
full-time at their highest skills.

A Thought for Today
Flying Round the World

SO many folks have flown around the
world Of late that only the passengers
themselves find anything very thrilling
about such trips, and they become pretty
blaSe after the second or third trip Be-
cause OF the war, civilians, however will
ing to pay the cost, cannot step in and
buy tickets for some far corner of the
world as matter of routine. But those
with genuine business can always ar
range to fly to any out-of-the-way cor
rer on short notice il much safety and
relative comfort. 1t was not thus on
April 6, 1924, when eight Army flyers
set out from Seattle, Wash, in four
planes specially designed and built for
the venture by young man named Don
aid Douglas. There we're major, cap
tain, three first lieutenantS, two ser
geantS, and one civilian with the temper
airy rank of second lieutenant. It was
their assignment to fly something more
than $4,000 miles around the world. No
body, up to that time, ever had flown
around the world. On September %,
1924 - more than five and half months
later by elapsed time, during which they
had been actually in the air 1853 flying
hours - two of the planes, piloted
respectively by Lieutenant Erik H. Nelson
and Captain Lowell H. Smith, landed
back at Seattle. They had covered 26,345
miles With Nelson was Jack Harding,
civilian. With Smith was Lieutenant
Leslie P. Arnold.
The other two planes had been forced
down, one, piloted by Major Frederick L.
Martin, in Alaska. The other, flown by
Lieutenant Leigh Wade, sank in the
North Atlantic after flying across the
Aleutians to Japan; across the East China
Sea to Shanghai; thence by way of French
Indo- China, Siam, Rangoon; across the
Malay peninsula to Burma; across the
Indian ocean to Calcutta; then to Bagdad,
Constantinople, Paris, Vienna, Stras-
bourg, London, and Iceland on the way
back toward the United States. He and
Sergeant Henry Ogden, who was with
him, were rescued. That flight was pos
sible only through intensive organiza-
ton and preparation. Ground men
went in advance to each projected land
ing spot and arranged for supplies.
On the basis of that then spectacular
adventure, experts say that our astound-
ing successful Air Transport Command
in this war rests Repair and weather
bases, established along the route blazed
by those flyers, make possible achieve
ments in air transport which can hardly
even be suggested until the war Is over.
To the eight intrepid flyers this country
and the world owes a lasting debt
OF gratitude.

In Basic English

Because winston Churchill gave over
part Of his talk at Harvard University TO.
discussion Of Basic English, and said that
President Roosevelt Is interested in that
invention, there has been increased pub
lie attention to what, up to then, had been
limited to the knowledge Of a small group.
Suddenly the newspapers are making fire.
quent statements about Basic English,
which gives us feeling that we should
have some knowledge about this new de-
velopment in connection with our mother
tongue. What is it? What is it not?
What is its purpose? What are its limits?
Basic English is good, normal English,
but it makes use of only $50 words,
whereas, persons Of education and wide
experience generally are not happy
without the use of many thousands OF
words. There is no argument that Basic
English will take the place of normal
English. There are serious limits to what
it is possible to do with $50 words. Deli
cate shades of ideas are hard to make
clear. The limited word list, each unit
used frequently, has tendency to make
talk of writing stiff aid complex and dull.
Those who for years have had the free
use of thousands Of words will find
trouble in getting by with only $50.
But Basic English is not designed for
us who are fertile with words. It is for
those with no present knowledge of Eng
lish and no time or chance to get COM
plete education in thai respect, who still
need to make use of the English language
in business, science, the arts, or even for
purposes of this war. Within the limits,
as to which its best friends are in COM
plete agreement, the meeting of minds
becomes possible through use of Basic
English when without it they could not
meet You may have the feeling that this
discussion is somewhat less clear and
simple than some you have seen in this
space That is true. So far as we were
able and have knowledge, this writing Is
completely in Basic English
1t makes use of only a small part of
the $50 words available. It may be much
more complex and less smooth than Is
possible with the words and under the
rules. 1t is our first attempt at use Of
Basic English. With experience, we are
certain that we could do better. If you
have an idea that we should have done
better this first time, you are free to
take the word list and see how easy it is
not.

New Automobile Designs

The motor car industry now let's it be
known that radical changes in automo-
bileS will be introduced slowly after the
war, so that each can be tested out and
sold to the public.
This is good enough policy. But there
isa - let's be frank another reason
why innovations will be held back. Adj
vanceS in automobile style and operation
are made to sell cars. When the war ends,
most machines will be obsolescent, there
will be a lot of war bond money, and
millions of new cars can be sold without
uHuch promotion
The real advances will come after post
war replacement has slowed down so that
an inducement is needed to promote
sales.

FOR POSTWAR CONVERSION
New York SUM


A plan reported to have developed
at q meeting of business men and
members of the Truman committee
may be fashioned by Congress into
a plan to allow war industries To
lay aside funds for reconversion to
peacetiIne production after the war
The details Of the plan as 1t now
stands are relatively simply. A wal
contractor would be allowed to de-
duct up to 20 per cent Of his profits
after renegotiatoin as an operating
expense. The sum thus realized
would be turned over to the govern
ment in exchange for non-negotiable
securities bearing no interest. Al
any time within a period of eighteen
months after the end Of the war the
contractor would be permitted to
turn these securities back to the
government and receive cash, less
taxes at the then current rate. Sen
ator George, chairman Of the Sen
ate Finance Committee. Is said to
consider the proposal worth study
The provision that the conversion
fund be subject to taxation after the
war Is colored by the expectation
that excess profits taxes may ex.
pire with the war.
