CAPTURED WEAPONS

Weapons of captured from soldiers of enemy nations are of primary importance in our military program To date the United States Ordnance De- parnent has made careful examinations Of more than 6Oo0oo pieces of captured equipment, and has sent tbe weapons thus studied on to Army training ceners so that our own soldiers may amiliarize themselves with them The fact that there were HOO separate types of weapons among those examined shows the breadth of the enemy ordnance program.
 Among guns recently brought in is a new Jap anese rifle which is said to be replacing the old 25-caliber models with which the Npponese troops have been equipped While this old rifle was none too good as measured by standards, it has given effective service in the hands of Japanse sharpshoot ers as many United States soldier in the Pacific can testify The gun is 303 slightly larger than the 3O-caber United States gun and the 30-3o rifle which is so popular among our sportsmen The rifle is distinct improvement the older Japanese

troops. Thus, if the invading army was one million men, it would be 100000 British and 100000 Amer ican.
 Churchill has advanced some good reasons for this, from the British viewpoint-namely, Britain's much smaller population and her terrific loss of young manhood in 1914 which set the country back almost a gen. eration.
 Nevertheless, several Senators, es- pecially lone wolf Senator Langer of South Dakota, intend to ask some very potent and embarrassing ques- tions as to why a tremendous Am erican army is to fight for Britain i if, at the same time, Britain refuses to relinquish Hong Kong or give India something to fight for in Burma.

HONG KONG STILL TO BE
 BRITISH

Tn addition to the deadlock over Burma. Churchill and Roosevelt also are reported to have hao serious difference over Hong Kong, Britains chief pre-war trading port in the Far East, which was selzeo from the Chinese hundred years ago during the Opium War.
 The President, it is said, wanted Churchill to cede Hong Kong to the Chinese immediately Then Chiane Kai-Shek would immediately turn around and declare Hong Kong free port. thus making it open to the British. Americans and the world. But the Prime Minister was adamant. In the end, the Jolnt communique mentioned only the return of those parts of China con- uuered by Japan. British terfi'ory taken from China was omitted
 By this time, the President ana Churchill were in serious disagree ment. It was their first real row in their two years of continuous CO., operation. Their differences are re- ported to have been such that the after-effects carried over to Teheran, and the President, after his return to Washington, is said to have com mented to close friends on Chur- chill's obstinacy.
 The President is reported to have had hard time keeping Chiang Kai-Shek calmed down after the deadlock at Cairo. And at Teheran, it was Roosevelt and Stalin who got along famously. In fact, U. $. mili- tary and naval advisers came back singing the praises of the Russians what great strategists they were and how easy to understand. They were officially silent about the Brit ish.
 Some of this leaked out during White House conferences with the railroad men, when the latter were told how Stalin kidded Churchill about his intransigeant position on certain things. and how the Presi- dent joined in the kidding.

RenegOtiation of Contracts
Cincinnati Enauirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer Among the problems which holders of pro- ducton contracts face today those which arise under the Federal Renegotiation Act which provides that Army and Navy price adjustment boards must consider all contracts establish prices upon which final payment is decided The law designed to cut down excessive prices war contracts and to save money for the American taxpayer It is doubtful if is accomplishing it's purpose it is certain that it is resulting in many unfair decisions from winch both industry and the general public will suffer
 The first falacies in the operation of the act seem to be it's lack of uniformity and the fact that it does not allow the manufacturer to know what percentage of profit he is entitled to show. There are of price adjustment boards in various parts Of the country. So far is dscernable. they have no uniform standards which they gauge their findings The percentage of profit allowed to manufacturer in one section may vary greatly from that allowed for the same operation in another section. Industralists yardstck by which to govern their operations results confusing and bring grief and distrst both to the adjustment boards and to the companies concerned.
 The Renegotiation Act originated out of high purpose It was well to attempt to hold down ex- cessve profits at time when emergency production and cllange-over in equipment made concise cost estimates impossible But in operation the act has brought untold damage to American industry And it is question whether it actually has saved any money.
 Most of the return payments extracted from the manufacturers who adjudgd to have made excess profits on their contracts would have gone to the government the form of profits taxes. The costs of administering the act probably would more than offset the difference.
 Congress should act at once to correct the error If some sort of legislation is to be retained curb against unreasonable charges on emergency produc- tion it should be one which will be fair and just which at least will allow industry to know what is meant by reasonable profits" It should above all else take into consideration the fact that most of the war production plans will have to be converted to civilian production when the fighting ends It should allow the building of cash for such postwar conversion

HOROSCOPE "7'he stnrs incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, JANUARY

SATURDAY, JANUARY l Benefic aspects dominate on this first day of the new year but there are portents of delays in the pro- gress of the United Nations.
 HEART AND HOME: Women must expect many new experiences and sweeping changes ill family af- fairs and domestic relationships due to the war. They must understand and adapt themselves to its psy- chological effects on servicemen.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Danger of imitation is foreseen for l944. The small income group who spend a great portion of the nations money have earned substantial wage in- creases and it will be difficult to prevent them from becoming spend- thrifts.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Conditions affecting the Japanese in the Unit ed States will arouse bitter contro- versies, Subversie plots are again foretold
 INTERNATIONAL FFAIR s: Three conjunctions of Mars with Uranus presage a creseendo of con- flict on many fronts with the tide of battle "irreversibly and irresis- tably" favoring the United Nations. An ocean of power is to submerge the Axis before the end of the year.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mixed in- fluences with success appearing through unusual channels. Extra safeguards against accidents are re- commended
 Children born on this day will probably be brilliant in mind and strong in character magnetic and self -willed but generally fortunate
