Axle Allotment Cut

Allotments of third axle at
-tachments for civilian vehicles
in 1945 have been reduced to
3.511, according to the regional

demands are given as the rea-
son for the cut. In 1914, civil
ian vehicles were allotted 1884
units.
Allotments are being made on
types of attachments. Producers
of the gear-driven type were
allotted 1,704; chain driven, 472,
and trailing type. 1886. Third

DESCRIBING Of Weapons
BY sILER FREEMAN

Reports that the army would
leave most of its heavy equip
ment in Europe after the end
of the European war were
discounted today by Carsten
Tiedeman, regional director of
the War Production Board here.
Only the obsolete weapons will
be left behind, with those not
adapted to the type of fighting
in the Pacific. he said
There may be an expansion
of production on certain types
of weapons for jungle warfare.
Tledeman stated. On the other
hand, he added, there may be a
contraction of certain types OF
mobile equipment The cut
backs at the end of the German
war will be comparatively small,
Tiedeman indicated.
To refute the reports OF the
material 10 be left in Europe,
Tiedeman quoted a-fetteF- writ
ten by Secretary of War Stin-
son 10 Rep. Albert j. Engel of
Muskegon:
II wish 10 assure you that
the war department cOntem-
plates making maximum use OF
all equipment which can be uti-
lized effectively against Japan,
regardless of where the equip
ment Is located. The expressed
goal of the war department
policy Is maximum transfer Of
equipment to the Pacific from
Europe and all inactive theaters

farmers received for grains, meat ami
mails, chickens and eggs and miscel-
laneous products were sufficiently
higher on April Is than on March Is
to raise the all-crop index points to
IT'S per cent of the 1904 average
for agricultural commodities The
greatest increase was shown for meat
animals with the index rising from 207
to PIP while fruits and dairy products
remained unchanged. No commodity
group showed a decline; however,
there were some commodities which
did decline in price but whose effect
on their group was more than offset
by increases in the prices of other
commodities.
Among the products which showed
price declines during the month were:
Barley from 93c to sec per bushel;
oats from &c to Coo per bushel; hogs
from Sf400 to 1880 per hundred
weight; wool from 43c to 42c per
pound and sweet clover seed from
$3.50 to $3.50 per bushel. The more
important price increases during the
month were wheat $1.39 from $1.37
per bushel; beef cattle $1,000 from
$3.50 per hundredweight; veal calves
$13.70 from $1340; sheep $40 from

How To Detect


to use their power to create security
for all nations, then power will be
nothing to be afraid Of Even the
smallest nation can feel secure. The
need for spheres of influence and pow
er politics as they nsed to be will
gradually disappear. 1t is only when
nations have to band together for pro-
lection against powerful nation that
is likely to war on them that such al
liances are necessary.
Small nations may have had a lot
of equality on paper the old way, but
it didn't keep nazi Germany fr m
overrunning Denmark in one day and
it didn't save Czechoslovakia from the
blitzkrieg The new way there will
still be big and small nations but
there will be an international police
man stronger than any nation to keep
peace among them.
AS to the requirement that all the
Big Five must be unanimous before
sanctions can be applied, that's just
realism. The very people in America
who are screaming about it in terms
of Russia would have a fit if nation
like Venezuela, for instance, could
bring the United States up on charges
before the security council and this
country would be deprived of say
so on the action to be taken. Finally,
if it ever comes to the point that any
one of the great powers wants to go
to war in defiance of the United Ma
lions, the peace will have been lost
anyway-so the bugaboo about their
veto is meaningless.
Another argument to watch out for
is the one about the power of the
American delegate to the security
council to commit the use of United
States armed forces without referring
it back to congress. The isolationists
say this isn't constitutional because
only congress can declare war. But
the pledging of our forces to be used
in action to prevent war is not the
same thing as entering the nation in
a war And if the American delegate

it's written with. The rest of the
world is well aware of that They
know why they've gone to war in the
past, and that the Breton w S
agreement may take away the main
reason for going to war in the fu-
ture
If the United States takes the adj
vice of a few big bankers and wipes
out the international monetary fund
the most important half of the first
non-war agreement of the United Ma
tions-the other nations will be think
ing in terms of combining to com
plete with our imperialist ambitions
after this war They'll have to.
1t will mean that the United States
talks big about international princi-
pies, but when these principles get
down to dollars and cents we won't
lay it on the line Other nations can
play the same game-the same old
game that led to two World Wars in
25 years.

SAN FRANCISCO AND
WASHINGTON -

While the nations of the world act
to make peace inevitable at San Fran
cisco, there are 435 representatives,
SO senators, in Washington who can
make or break world organization.
Right now big gang is at work block
ing key measures (for example: Re
publican caucus to sabotage realistic
tariff bill necessary for world econom-
ic cooperation; undercover sniping at
Breton Woods agreement) in the
halls of congress.
Most important is to let congress
men and senators know overwhelm-
ingly the peoples support to Dunbar
ton Oaks, Breton Woods, and other
implementing measures and agree
ments.
Right now your representative and
your own two senators should get all
the mail you can round up, urging
their wholehearted support to:
Breton Woods Bill (H. R. 2211, now

Spence, chairman); write Represen-

Extension of authority of Export
