PACIFIC:
Keep Going

While the nations capital buzzed
with peace talk and Australian
newspapers limited of sensational de-
velopments, U. S. and British carrier
planes continued to rake the Japa-
aese homeland and the Allied
Aeets kept up the bombardment of
Nippon's sprawling coastline.
Scorched by Allied fire. the Japs
still refused to come out and fight.
Propagandists were seeking to calm
the populace with the assertion that
the u. S. and British attacks were
designed to feel them out and they
would strike at the proper time.
Having joined with the fleet in rak-
4ng shipping and transport facilities
Anking the coal-producing island of
Hokkaido with Honshu, and pound
4ng factories on Honshu itself, car
fier planes swept over Tokyo bay to
shoot up combat vessels at anchor.
Presumably remnants of the once
proud Imperial fleet, the warships
were covered by a heavy screen of
an~ti-aircraft fire as U. S. and Brit
1jsh airmen closed in.
, Peace talk was pointed up by per-
Sistent rumors that Marshal Stain

terms to the Big Three meeting at

for comparatively quick passage in
the senate.
Overwhelmingly approved by the
house, the Breton Woods monetary
agreements creating a bank of re-
construction and fund for stabilizing
currencies passed the senate, with
Taft (Rep., Ohio) leading a losing
fight against the measures.
Charging that high pressure tao
tics have been employed to sell the
agreements to the country, Taft
sought to amend the SO, 100, 600, 900
bank and So, 300, 900, 900 fund so as
to assure the responsibility of bor-
rowers drawing upon American on
tributions of S3,175, 000, 900 to the
bank and So, 750, 900, 900 to the fund.
While proponents of the Breton
Woods agreements declared that the
bank was necessary to permit the
economic development of foreign ma
tions, and the fund would permit
countries to obtain currency at fair
levels for international trade, oppo-
nents charged that there were no
provisions in the plans compelling
the members to stabilize their in
ternal conditions to guarantee full
redemption of their obligations.
Concurrent with the agreements,
the senate considered approval of
the house = passed increase in the
lending authority of the EXport-Im-
port bank from $500, 600, 900 to So
500, 000, 1000 to finance sales and pur-
chases abroad until the Breton
Woods pacts can be supplemented.
With only l of % members of the
senate foreign relations committee in
opposition, the United Nations secu-
rity charter was sent to the upper
chamber for speedy passage. AL
though not promising that the pact
would prevent war, the committee
declared it provided the basis for
peaceful settlement of disputes.

Old Prices

Working to head off runaway
prices in the reconversion period be-
fore demand can more evenly bal
ance with supply, OPA has drawn
up an elaborate formula aimed at
holding the cost of consumer goods
to the 1912 level.
Under the formula, manufacturers
doing an annual business of 5000, 900
a year or more may add increased
labor and material costs to their
prices, but may apply only half the
industry-wide profit margin of 1886
to 1899 so as to keep the overall
selling figure down. Producers in
the lower brackets, however, may
apply their own profit margins to
their prices.
To help speed reconversion, indi-
vidual manufacturers will be per-
mitted to work out their own prices
and submit them to OPA for ap-
proval before the government can
formulate general industry = wide
costs.

Minister Churchill at Berlin.
Berlin and the report that President
Truman presented the c%onfereeS
with American surrender conditions
drawn up by the war, navy and state
departments.
Rumors that Russia's Big Boss
might have borne Jap terms was ac-
centuated by a newspaper report
from London that a high Soviet Of
fcial revealed that the Reds would
transmit a definite surrender offer
to the U. S. if it was forthcoming,
and that Moscow would have to
give the deepest consideration to
entry into the Pacific war in view of
the heavy losses suffered against
Germany.
Repeatedly in the possession of
Mr.. Truman, the American surren-
der conditions supposedly include the
REIMBURSEMENT of all military equip
ment; the disarmament of Jap
forces; destruction of war indus
try; supervision over enemy ship
building, manufacture and port
facilities, and punishment of war
criminals.
Rife in the U. S., peace talk was
equally lively in Australia, where

In line with its policy of provid-

would be granted additional meat
rations starting in August.
OPA action followed the walkout
of 10000 miners from Illinois pits,
climaxing a series of strikes
throughout the country. Leaving
their jobs after their leaders de-
clared they cant dig coal on let
tuce sandwiches" the Illinois
miners demanded an extra meat IA
ton of so red points per month.
Though $500 foundry workers in

FOOD:
Plain Talk

Along with the war, food remained
the major item of interest to Ameri-
cans, with Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson warning of tight supplies
into 1916 even while the Office of War
Information prepared to launch an
about propaganda drive to convince
the U. S. of the necessity of tighten
ing its belt to help feed impov-
erished Europe.
Declaring that the present food
shortage "a the result of faulty
planning last year, Anderson said
prior to increased production in 1916
his office would seek to relieve
present scarcities by sitting black
markets, improving distribution and
holding army and foreign relief re-
quirements to minimums.
Except for milk, wheat, potatoes
and fresh vegetables, most foods will
remain in tight supply, Anderson
said, with continued %Scarcities in
meats, fats, oils, condensed and
e~vaporated milk and canned fruits
and vegetables. Rice and dry beans
also will u short, he revealed.
Meanwhile, the owls mapped it's
propaganda campaign upon orders
from the White House, following the
report that the U. S. would have to
provide most of the relief shipments
to liberated Europe. In addition to
pointing out the need for supplying
the continent, the Owl also will is
u periodic statements on contribu-
tons being made by Great Britain,
Russia, Canada and other nations.
Pertinent to American relief ship
ments abroad, Senator Wheeler
(Dem., Mont.) told newspaper men
that after having been promised
adequate supplies by American au-
thorities, Europeans expect this
country to stand by its word. cal

FARM NOTES

Though supplies Of chicken
and turkey will increase season
ally from now until fall, demand
Is expected to remain unusually
strong for the remainder Of
le45, rejecting scarcity of meat,
q high level of consumer pur-
chasing power, and large army
procurement. Prices received
by farmers for chickens and tur-
keys probably will be higher for
the rest of 1915 than in the CORE
spending period Of 1914.
