"A city chamber Of commerce
opposes restrictions which neigh
boring towns sometimes place
on deliveries OF merchandise by
city m chants and truckers.
Yet the same organization Is
likely to help erect similar bar
riers against out-of-state or out
of-town enterprise which might
compete with Its own industries
or merchants.
Businessmen dislike restric-
tive policies Of farmers and Ia
Dor unions. Yet many OF them
say that free competition
among themselves would be
ruinous. So they lobby for meas

Chambers Of commerce fire.
quently join the clamor for un-
economic local projects of the
state or federal government on
the ground that other places are
getting theirs; why shouldn't we
get ours?' Such chamber Of COM

respondingly restrict markets

straightforward shoulder talk:
Recent corrosions of eco
homie liberty in the United
States are not due to the efforts
OF a few communists or ~fascists.
Instead they chiefly come from
the fact that so many Of us care
only about our own liberties and
are indifferent or even hostile
to possession Of similar liberties
by others Of our fellow citizens.
In fact, for a momentary gain
in higher prices, higher wage
rates or government favors,
many of us are willing even to
sell our own freedom"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-(P)
Rationing and distribution
control of all farm machinery
and equipment, except corn
pickers, was ended suddenly to-
day by the War Food Admins
tration.
The action was announced by
War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones, who said the 1914 produc-
ton period and season of use for
most rationed implements had
passed and that the need for
further controls except on corn
pickers during the 1944-45 crop
year lis not anticipated"
Jones said the ending of ra-
tioning of these items was in
line with WAS policy of CON
stantly examining all of its war
time regulations and removing
them as soon as they are no long
er essential"

Russian troops have invaded

communique made known today.

More than 5000 Polish civil

WASHINGTON. April 1l.-Am- erican air forces are steadily en- larging their control of the Pacific theatre, Navy Secretary Frank Knox told a press conference, showing newsmen the department maps il- frustrating the progressive compress sion of the ring around Tokyo since United States forces occupied Guad- alcanal in the fall of 1942.
 The maps detailed the dangerous period of the swift Jap expansion beginning December ', l94l, devel- oping with the naval engagement near Midway, and the occupations of the Solomons, Gilberts and Mar shalls, busting the enemy from their strategic holdings in New Guinea and the Aleutians.
 Knox stated he is confident that the British in India will be able to halt the current Jap drive near Imphal, saying the Jap operation involved a small number of men, and he didn't regard it as par ticularly serious.

 The bulletin emphasizes that much hard work lies ahead for the settler and suggests that members of the armed forces now on duty in Alaska take a look at the avail able lands while in service.
 It says, Tn general the lands which now offer the best prospects for agricultural settlement will be found in the Tanana River Valley in the Cook Inlet, Matanuska Val ley area. and the Kenai Peninsula
 Agricultural lands will be found in many other parts of the Terri tory, but because of the lack ot roads and the distances to markets less favorable climate and other factors, the chances for successful farming at this time are not as promising as in the above men, tioned areas"
