In memory of my beloved hus-
band, who departed from this
tireSome and troubled world to
be with his Heavenly Father,
twenty years ago today.
Dear Husband and Father your
voice has been stilled these many
years.
Your presence is still within
our abode, as always will.
Death for you came so suddenly
and Unexpectedly that the shock,
your little family will never re-
cover.
Your tiresome, tedious, and
dangerous tasks have availed you
naught but death.
You needed rest. of which your
Heavenly Father knew, and had
an eternal home for you of which
no man may bodily harm.
May you rset in Jesus care
and love.
AS your duty of father and
husband, you were successful in
these.
God is always kind and good
to his children.

Captain Robert RodWell Knowles.

I2,77o SHIPS SUNK

The United States Navy and
the British Admiralty have issued
la joint statement on overall
shipping losses, which reveals
that the war cost the United
Nations and neutral countries
Alto merchant ships, aggregating
81. 100000 gross tons.
Of this total, the United States
lost 1854 merchant ships, or s.
277.0 lightweight tons. Direct
war causes cost $40 ships of s.
All, 456 lightweight tons. The re-
naming 984, involving less than
million tons, were lost in ma
rine casualties resulting from
convoy operations, reduced aids
to navigation, blackouts and
other causes. Only II of these
vessels exceeded 1000 gross tons.
The British Empire lost $50
ships, or 11,38O,0O0 tons. between
September 3, 1899, and May 8,
1945. The British began the war
with 17.500,000 gross tons OF
shipping, but losses were offset
to some extent by 100000 tons
constructed during the war.
In addition to American ard
British ships, other allies lost
1.l72 ships, or 5,030,0O0 tons, and
neutral nations lost 400 ships,
aggregating 100000 tons.
The U-boats were the greatest
enemy of Allied shipping, sink
ing 2,770 ships, aggregating A.
$4,000 gross tons. Only 68 of the
ships were lost in japanese areas,
the great bulk of our merchant
vessels being sunk by German or
Italian. submarines, aircraft and
mines. This represented about
two-thirdS of the tonnage lost.
Total losses do not reflect ships
seized by the Nazis in overrun
countries or the loss of Army
and Navy auxiliaries; only
merchant ships are included.
The British revealed that more
than 10000 of their merchant
seamen were killed during the
war and 1000 informed. For the
United States, the casualty list
included 5,579 merchant seamen

HEAVY ATTACK UPON
OPA THREATENS
PRICE CONTROL

The bill to extend the life of
the Office of Price Administra-
ton. as approved, by the Senate,
creates a cost-pluS formula for
farm products but President Tru-
man will reject the amendment.
There is also a steady drive to
secure provision to guarantee
fair profits to business. In ad-
dition some organizations desire
judicial review of OPA regula-
tons.
The combination of forces
seeking to secure additional
benfits for various groups repre-
sentS dangerous threat to
effective price control. Emphasis
is laid upon the gains to be
scored by specific sellers but
nothing is said about the ill
effects of a general price rise,
which will inevitably result from
interference with price regula-
tionS.
The cost-plus formula for farm
products is described as d "leg-
islative fraud" by James G.. Pat
ton, President of the National
FaSmers Union, and Edward o.
Neal, President of the American
Farm Bureau of Federatioas,
calls the amendment of Senator
Wherry ''unsound, unavoidable
and inflationary."
James B. Cary, an official of
the Go, also criticizes amend
mentS designed to knock out
practically every price ceiling
regulation on the books" declar-
ing that they constitute "a plan
to destroy price control"
In addition, a number of con-
sumner, educational, religious and
labor organizations urge that a
strong price control law be re-
tanned. They assert that in 1920.
when there was no effective
Price control, five pounds of
sugar cost Sl.34 but that today.
under existing price control reg
ulationS, the same amount will
buy a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread,
two quarts of milk, package of
cereal, a half dozen oranges and
i've pounds of sugar.
We cannot vouch for the &C
curacy of the comparison but all
available statistics indicate that
the buying power of the dollar
has been greatly strengthened by
the work of the OPA. BY acting
vigorously to fix prices. prevent
speculation and avert economic
dislocations due to shortages re-
Sulting from the war, the organ
lzatlon has protected the buying
power of every persons dollar.
Without it. or some similar
control, initiation will occur on a
grand scale to be followed by d
disastrous deflation which will
repeat the sad experience of the
early 20's.
