mer members and those who
might become members are in
vited and urged to attend Holy
Hour service Friday evening at
1880 o'clock at st. Peters Cath

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Un-
der battle flags of the United
States Army, five foreign le-
gions of men with bitter men,
cries and abiding hatreds are
training to fight for the liberia
ton of their homelands.
Norwegians, Greeks, Austri-
ans, Filipinos, and Japanese man
the foreign battalions already es-
tablished by the Army, but
scores of requests from men Of
other "lost lands" for formation
of additional units have been
received by the War Depart
ment.
Czechs, Poles, Dutch, French,
Yugo-Slavs and men from other
countries now under the heel of
Axis tyranny are asking for one
thing - chance to fight back
at the side of their countrymen.
Plainly aware of the strate-
gic value of its foreign legions,
the War Department neverthe-
less is moving cautiously in their
formation. The State Depart
ment is consulted before a for
eign battalion is authorized to
make sure that its formation
does not ruffle-the diplomatic
pin feathers of any faction of the
exiled governments.
Newest of the foreign legions
is the Greek battalion. Oldest is
the Japanese. Biggest is the Fill
Pine. Toughest is the Norweg-
ian.
Establishment Of the first Fill
ipino battalion was authorized
several weeks after Pearl Har-
Dor. 1t has grown into two in
fantry regiments which are sta
toned at Camp San Luis Obs
DO, California.
MUST SPEAK LANGUAGE
The japanese battalion was a
unit of the Hawaiian National
Guard when TOTO struck Pearl
Harbor. The guardsmen, prac-
ticaily all of whom were born
in Hawaii, pleaded for chance
to fight back. They are training
at Camp Mccoy. Wis, now.
At Fort Smelling, Mimi, they
refer to the Goth Infantry Bat
talon as "Uncle Sans Little
Norway"--but they smile when
they say it. For the Norwegians
are tall and hard and cold with
hatred. Many of the. men. in the
99th fought the Germans in Nor
way and escaped through enemy
patrols long after their country
was subdued.

The Constable
Followed His
Instructions

DETROIT. Jan. Oh (P) -
Joseph Dceb, a Dearborn land
lord, got a court order for evic-
ton of a tenant.
But the constable failed to
serve the eviction notice on the
specified date. Meanwhile the
tenant left voluntarily.
Then the constable showed up.
Finding no one at home, he en-
tered by force, as permitted by
the court, and emptied five
roomsful of new furniture into
the street.
Then Deeb appeared, hot
under the collar. 1t was his fur
niture. He had become the sole
tenant.
Commissioners William j.
Cody of circuit court said he was
sorry but there was nothing to
be done about it. Deeb had to
pay the constable S25-the evic-
ton fee is S. a room-and pay
another party 81 to help him put
his belongings back.

Reveal Secret
pea(e-FeeIers
Davies Soys Nozis
Sought Deal in 40

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2l-(R)
-Ho'v spokesman for certain
Nazi high officials approached
him in 1910 with peace pro-
posals that would retire Hitler
but would enable Germany to
keep the dominant place which
it had achieved by conquest OF
Europe" has been revealed here
for the first time by Joseph E.
Davies, former ambassador to
Russia.
Addressing a town hall meet
ing yesterday, Davies said the
peace proposals were made to
him in New York by Nazi
spokesman at a conference sug-
gested by certain important
civic and business leaders in this
country" whom he did not
nume.
USED INNOCENTLY
These leaders, he said, could
not see the 'cloven hoof' and
quite innocently, / am sure,
were used by Hitler to further
his plan to conquer the world
and ourselves. /"
Davies declared he made II
clear to the Nazi representa-
tives, who carried credentials
that were unquestionably bona
fide and vouched for by some of
the finest banking facilities in
this country" that "in my
opinion, it was an impossible
peace"
"They asked that I present
their message and plan to the
President and to Mr.. Hull" said
Davies. This ! refused to do. I
did, however, report it to the
department of state for its in
formation.
REASONABLE TERMS
"At this meeting in New
York, these men stated that
they were authorized by high
Nazi party and military authori-
ties to say that they would make
/. peace which would be agree
able to any reasonable demand
which fair-minded men would
require.
I'm order to make it possible
for England to make peace
with other than a Hitler gov
eminent, they would guarantee
that Hitler would be retired and
would devote his remaining
years 20 reading and writing as
an elder statesman; and that the
proposed peace treaty would be
signed by a military or other
government, whose word Britain
could accept.
ION the face Of 1t, their pro-
posal seemed very fair"
On examination of the specific
terms, however, Davies said,
something else appeared, name
ly, the condition for this peace
which Germany required, and
the price we would have to pay,
vas that it should keep the dom
inant place which it had
achieved by conquest of Europe
and be permitted to project its
new order in Europe without
interference.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The accept
ance OF air conditioning as a pro-
duction tool was listed today among
the industry's outstanding develop
ments in 1912 by Cloud Wampler,
president of the Carrier Corp.
He said conversions of air con-
dition, refrigeration and related
equipment to war uses was relative
ly simple since it involved use rather
than product change.

Perhaps the most important sim
gle contribution of air conditioning
to war production during the past
year lies in the field of precision
manufacture" Wampler said. 90 :.

This $4,000, 900 900 might be re-
moved from competition for the

in taxes sufficient to recapture it

1t is impossible to devise a tax

would accomplish this without
serious inequities and, also, since
taxes Of such magnitude might
hamper the war effort by removing

Taxes and Rationino

U. S. Seeks to ImmobiIize
'PotentioI' Surplus
Of 40 Billions
BY CAMBRIDGE ASSOCIATES.

When the supply of money in the
hands of consumers is much bigger
than the supply of goods available
for their purchase three things can
happen:
One, prices can be allowed to rise
so that the small supply of goods
is called equal in money value to the
existing money supply;
Two, through taxes and forced
savings the money supply can be cut
down to equal the price of goods;
Three, prices can be held down by
law and the available supply of
goods divided according to a pre-
determined system of rationing.
Because, during the World War I
the danger and inequities of infla-
tion, the first method, were demon
strated to us we are now struggling
to develop a combination of the last
two methods that will obtain maxi
mum production and reasonably fair
division of existing supplies, and
avoid the cause of one of the worst
postwar headaches that we suffered
in the early 1920s.

tion potential" for 1943 at 40,000,-

to the Nations 100000 farm fami-
lies.
I wonder if the American public
fully appreciates the difficulties un-
der which the farmer labored. Ris-
ing prices of farm supplies in
creased his production costs. Gas
and tire rationing and other
transportation restrictions made it
difficult for him to get his produce
to market. Shortages of boxes and
storage space and fertilizer were big
problems that had to be overcome.
Restrictions on canning deprived
him of part of his normal market.
And most serious of all, the de-
parture of 2,500,O0O employable
farm workers to the armed forces
and industrial plants since 1910
caused drastic reduction of the
normal labor supply.
In spite of all these obstacles,
which might well have been con-
sidered insurmountable in normal
times, Americas farmers worked
hard and long to exceed by IA per
cent the 1941 crop and by IL per
cent the previous record crop of
1897. And they have been called
upon to do an even greater job
in l943.
Retailers Busy, Too.
Retailers, too, had serious prob
lens to overcome, for while 13 per
cent of the food produced in 1912
went to our armed forces and AL
lies, the other 81 per cent had to be
distributed through normal trade
channels to the civilian workers on
the home front.
The Nations 100000 food retail
erS had to do this intensive war;
time job with less than peacetime
facilities. The Government, lack
ing adequate facilities for policing
price ceilings and rationing, relied
upon food merchants to make these
twin guards against imitation work
Grocers had to cope with buying
rushes that created artificial short
ages, with price ceilings that caught
them in a squeeze between high
wholesale and low retail prices, and
with a shortage of labor as serious
as that confronting the farmer. Al
most $4,000 of our own employees,
Evening star., 1943-01-01

for example, are now in the Ma
tion's armed services.
Average Costs Cut.
Despite all these problems, the
grocers of America moved food at
less average cost than ever before.
This means that more of the con-
sumer's food dollar goes for food
and less for overhead than ever
before.
know that none of these record
smashing accomplishments would
have been possible if it were not
for the American capacity for team
work. Nowhere has public recogni-
tlon of the fact that our war effort
is a cooperative enterprise been
more evident than in the food field.
The accomplishments of 1912 are
particularly gratifying because they
promise even greater accomplish
ment in 1943.
A year ago the food industry had
no proven pattern to follow in doing
its wartime job. Today conditions
are considerably improved. Farm
ers and distributors have behind
them a years hard-won experience.
There is better public understand
ing of the factors necessitating
changes in our buying and eating
habits. Machinery has been estab-
hshed for the equitable rationing of
foods when shortages threaten.
OF course, many problems remain
and new hazards will undoubtedly
be encountered. The solution of
these problems calls for the utmost
in ingenuity, efficiency, economy and
good will. Neither food, nor time,
nor manpoWer, nor transportation
facilities can be wasted. Every un-
necessary handling operation and
cost between farm and dinner table
must be eliminated.

ably be more than 81 500 00O, 900 in

They may run much more than

remained at April levels.
In the last war the cost OF hv-
ing rose more than SO per cent be-
tween 1916 and 1918. BY 1920 the
general price level was nearly 85
per cent above that Of 1915. At
the moment we seem to have infia-
ton under control, not complete
control but control. The greatest
hazard is that peace will bring an
irresistible demand for an immedi-
ate end of wartime restrictions and
taxes. That would be an open invi-
sation to explosive imitation.
