HEART AND HOME High ideals
should inspire women of all ages
to unselfish service in behalf of the
nation. Bereavements and personal
anxieties are secondary to that
which promises the greatest good
for the greatest number.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Owners Of
oil wells come under sign presag-
ing production problems. Today
may be unsatisfactory in certain
lines of trade. Retail merchants
may find Spring buying to be slow
but there is promise of large sales
at a later date.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Reinstate-
ment of returning soldiers will Of
fer difficulties Men invaded home
must be carefully placed in just the
right jobs. The morale of our boys
will be improved by wise readjust-
ments.

Though the mills of God grind
slowly, yet they grind exceeding

ALUMINIUM FROM CANADA

Cabinet members have been kid
ding Jesse Jones about having a
bear by the tail which he can't let
20. The bears name is "Shipshaw
and it is not a tame bear.
They are referring to the Ship
shaw aluminium project in Canada,
for which Jesse advanced to the
aluminium Company of Canada
S68,500,000 of the taxpayers money
without interest or security, but
with the understanding that the
Aluminium Company would repay
the loan by shipping aluminium to
the U. S. A.
However, U. S. aluminium pro-
duction is now so booming that
some plants will have to be cur
tailed-in fact, some already have
been. If we stop taking aluminium
from the Shipshaw plant, Uncle
Sam loses the balance of Uncle
Jesse's investment Yet if we keep
on being supplied from Shipshaw,
then aluminium projects here at
home will be thrown out of bust
ness.
For example, the Reynolds Metal
Company, which has to pay inter-
est on a loan from RFC, whereas
the Aluminium Company at Ship
shaw does not, would be finished as
as aluminium producer if we buy
in Canada at the expense of U. S.
production.
Uncle Jesse justifies things by
contending he has reduced the price
of Shipshaw aluminium from II to
Is cents a pound. But there is a
joker in this because the contract,
secretly negotiated, contains two es-
calator clauses on labor and trans
portation. Thus. if labor costs go
up, Shipshaw can charge Jesse
more. Or if transportation rates go
up, Shipshaw can also boost the
price.
Therefore, the price has gone kit
ing. Jesse won't say how much It
really is, but it is estimated to be
around 20 to % cents pound =
not Is cents.
1t will be interesting-and pain
full for some people-to see whe-
Their Jesse is willing to drop some
of his investment at Shipshaw or
decides to continue it at the ex-
pense of domestic production.
