Curb on Axis Shipping
Urged by Businessmen
In lniernatio P arIey
BY the Associated rress.

BY the Associated Press. y -,
RYE, N. Y, Nov. l6.-German and
Japanese merchant shipping after
the war must be sharply restricted
to prevent either nation from ever
again developing into a strong naval
power, In the opinion of delegates
to the International Business Con-
ference.
This viewpoint was expressed in q
resolution which the conference
panel on transportation agreed on
for presentation to the full member
ship at a plenary session tomorrow.
Delegates in the transportation
section were understood to have IA
vored such stand on the grounds
that If the, Axis powers were permit
ted unlimited shipping and ship
building facilities after the war they
would have easy opportunity of Sc
cretly building naval vessels.
Jap Fishing Fleet.
The resolution also referred to the
Japanese fishing feet, which the
conferees also felt must be watched
closely for the same reason.
The conference was ready to re-
ceive the results of the panel discus
sions on private enterprise and on
raw materials and food stuffs, which
will be made public at a session this
afternoon.
The theme of the resolutions on
foodstuffs and raw materials, &C
cording to one delegate, is that
trade barriers must be removed gen.
orally to ease the movement of
goods and commodities to countries
where they are needed most.
Discussions on private enterprises
we're high-lighted by the 11th-hour
participation Of the French delega-
ton, which finally arrived yester-
day afternoon, after delay by

for the continuation of private in
dustry after the war, but recognized
chat naturalization of some indus
tries was inevitable.
First We Are French
1.-THE provisional government of
the French Republic has on several
occasions publicly stated its de-
termination to nationalize a certain
number of privately controlled in
dustries or financial institutions,
Mr.. Mercier said.
Some of us will be personally al
fected by such decisions, aimed at
industries to which we have con-
tributed or created and developed. !
Our position as regards such govern
ment initiative must, however, be
dictated by the fact that, before be-
Ing manufacturers or businessmen,
we are French"

1000 Eggs
in Every Hen

1.-THE great trouble with the poultry
business has always been that laying
life of the hen was too shor,' says
Henry Trafford, nationally famous Poul-
try Expert for nearly eighteen years
Editor of Poultry Success.
The average pullet may lay $50 eggs or
more-in second year may lay lO0 Then
she goes to market. Yet it has been def
initely established that every pullet
Matched has from 1000 to 5000 or more
minute egg germs in her system-and
may be made to lay on a highly pro-
fitable basis for as long as five years
if given proper care.
How to work to get up towards l0OO
eggs from hens; how to get pullets lay
ing early, how to make old hens lay
like pullets, greatly increase egg produc-
ton; keep up heavy winter laying when
eggs are scarce and prices highest; make
Stacker hens hustle. These and many
other money-making poultry secrets are
contained in Mr.. Trafford's 1000 EGG
HEN SYSTEM of poultry raising, one

TROOP ROTATION
POLICY ADOPTED

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. Up -
The war department has adopted
troop rotation policy which
should assure that by mid-1944
all soldiers in Alaska and the
Caribbean areas with two years
of overseas service will be re-
turned to the United States, Sena-
for Reynolds D.-N.C.) said to-
day.
REYNOLDS, chairman of the SEN
ste military affairs committee, re-
ported the rotation outlook in 9TH
er areas as follows:
North Africa: Plans have been
instituted to return monthly a linn
tied number of nea with more
than IS months overseas service.
South and southwest Pacific:
at is anticipated that the present
difficulties in returning men from
these theaters of operation will be
overcome in the spring of 1914,
and that system will be put in
to effect to return certain num-
Der of men to the United States"

ter for the rotation of troops to

changes in the European theater
a system will be put into effect"
Air crew personnel: THE rota-

ing overseas in all theaters has
been established and is function
ing satisfactorily"
Reynolds report was prompted
by an inquiry by Senator Connally
O.-Tex.). Reynolds sent copies of
this reply to all members of the
senate for their information.
Reynolds said the problem had
been given constant study by the
general staff but he pointed out
that there are many difficulties to
be overcome. For instance, he
said, additional troops are needed
il all overseas theaters; new thea
tiers of operation are anticipates;
requirements must be shipped to
cover attrition; supplies, equip
ment and munitions must be CIV
en- priority in shipments; shipping
itself is a problem, and seasoned
troops cannot be Withdrawn in the
midst of operations unless fresh
troops are available to replace
them.
