crosses the basin and tunnels the
Karawanken range to reach Tri-

Klagenfurt, with Sc, 700 prewar in

rival claims.
Since to have border dispute
there must be border, the KlagEn-

until 1918 when Yugoslavia was
formed. The north boundary Of the

and the corresponding reduction
in the compulsory savings pro-
visions In the excess profits tax;
and an increase in the specific
exemption in this tax from the
present $4,000 to $25, 900.
In discussing agriculture, the
report refers to the section
which Congress has already
taken to continue support prices
for two years after the first jan
uary / following the end of the
war. 1t recommends that Con-
gress authorize appropriate ad-
ministrative agencies to make
payments in lieu of support prices
when it is determined that such
prices are resulting in the ac-
emulation Of surpluses.
The enactment of legislation
to bring about an orderly ex-
pansion of the present school
lunch program so that all grade
and high school children can
participate within the next two
to three years, is recommended.
Congress Asked to Study
Soil Conservation Plans.
The report points out the need
for soil conservation and urges
that Congress give consideration
to this problem. Several agencies
within the Department of Agri-
culture are now authorized to un-
dertake programs of assistance
under specific and separate acts
Of Congress. One program would
be better.
The report urges that the Gov
ernment start reducing expendi-
lures for administrative purposes
as part Of the process of read
justment as soon as Germany is
defeated. 1t recommends that
the director of the budget be
given authority to determine
those agencies in which cuts in
administrative expenses may be
made and the amounts to be COW
cred back into the Treasury.
The director of war mobin-
zation and reconversion has had
an unusual opportunity to be-
come familiar with the opera
tions of our War and Navy De-
partments. These operations
have been conducted with a high
degree of unity because of the
outstanding character OF mill
tary and naval leadership, and

its readiness to compromise and
reach agreements In the common
interest. However, procurement
supply programs under a uni
fed system could have saved not
only dollars but also manpower
and materials. Therefore, the re-
port recommends that Congress
should, at an early date, give
consideration to legislation estab-
fishing - single department Of
national defense to become effec-
tive when Japan is defeated.
Must Destroy Military
Might Of Enemy.
The report refers to the counsel
received from the Advisory Board
created under the act establish
ing the Office of War Mobiliza-
ton and Reconversion and the
benefits which have resulted to
the director in his associations
with the board.
In concluding the report, the
director states, Il know that the
American people will continue
their full support of our war ef-
fort until the military might Of
both Germany and Japan has
been utterly destroyed. They will
recognize that the quickest way
to ultimate victory lies in the use
of overwhelming forces in the
air, on the sea. and on the
ground, until these forces are no
longer capable of armed resist
ance." He points out his conf
dence in the future because

ening by the Congress are re-
newed with a note Of urgency.
Reconversion by Small
Firms Declared Easier.
The section of the report on
small business points out that
small manufacturers should be
able to reconvert more quickly
than large manufacturers. The
War Production Board will see
that small business has adequate
access to materials. The adop-
ton by the Congress Of the
Wagner-Spence bill to amend
section 13B of the Federal Re-
serve Act to stimulate loans to
small business and the extension
of the life of the Smaller War
Plants Corp. to December 81,
1916, are recommended.
The report reminds us that we
still will be fighting a coalition
war in the Pacific which must
continue to receive lease-lend
support. Some of our Allies de-
pend almost entirely on certain
specific items of military equip
ment produced in this country.
Moreover, they must continue to
receive repairs and spare parts
for the military equipment which
has been furnished them in the
past. The volume of lease-lend
will decline rapidly and In fact
already has dropped Is per cent
since the Normandy invasion.
We must provide assistance in
liberated countries. Stable gov
ernments cannot develop where
people are hungry. A strong
world economy is essential to
world peace and to healthy
economy at home.
When we assume controls in
one or the other zones into which
Germany is to be divided, the
people of America will not desire
to let the women and children
under our care starve. Congress
should consider at an early date
the extent to which funds and aid
will be made available for this
purpose.
Sensible Balance Sheet

ordinate foreign shipments under
the Craftsmanship of Admins
traitor Crowley of the Foreign
Economic Administration will de-
velop a sensible balance sheet.

a tremendous demand for ma

terials for reconversion and to
restore inventories of consumer
goods in this country. There will
also be a huge demand from
abroad where destroyed homes
and factories must be rebuilt.
Foreign trade is essential to our
, own postwar prosperity. Foreign
countries have expanded their
gold and dollar assets by more
than eight billion dollars since
1910. However, their resources
are not unlimited and we must
be prepared to make loans to
those countries where there is
reasonable prospect of repay
ment.
The report recommends favor
able consideration by Congress of
a broad foreign policy; to include
the extension and strengthening
of the Trades Agreement Act;
the establishment Of the inter-
national monetary fund; approv-
al for the establishment of the
international bank for recon-
struction and development; the
extension of the authority of the
Export-Import Bank to finance
our foreign trade; and the repeal
of the johnson Act, prohibiting
loans to governments in default
on their obligations to the United
States. An active foreign trade
Is necessary if trade at home is to
prosper.
Industrial and Trade
Developments Stimulated.
Production for this war has
stimulated new developments in
industry and trade. Free enter
prise will have its opportunity in
utilizing these developments in
peace to prove it can provide full
employment. Anti trust laws
must be enforced vigorously to
prevent monopolies and to pro-
tect small producers. Vigorous
steps must be taken to stop in
ternational cartels designed to
maintain price structures at high
levels.

cessity for a tax structure de-

tracted meningitis in Europe, the
youths mother, a resident Of Chula

yesterday.
The message said he has not been
wounded. It was the first word
from the boy since January Oath.
Young Cavanaugh was among
many 18-year-olds sent overseas, ap-
parently for combat duty, in con-
siderably less than years time.
He entered the service August
18th Immediately after his 18th
birthday and was overseas about
five months later.
Collector Bowman sent the follow

fI desire to express my personal
appreciation to you for outstanding
performance of duty in the current
operation.
your initial break through in the
mountain strongholds of the enemy
and the sealing of the Coastal Plain
north of Damortis was large con-
tributing factor in the success of
this operation.
'The persistent aggressiveness in
mopping up enemy resistance in
your zone of advance to secure the
vital Damortis- Rosario road and the
gallantry displayed in overcoming a
skillful and determined enemy in
the trying and difficult terrain
through which your organization
advanced is indicative of the high

Henry Arino,

Dear El1rioue.

Dear Enrique:
Was glad to see you home. Wish
your stay was permanent. Since
you've gone back to duty we are
about winding up our drive for funds
for combating Infantile paralysis.
And here's hot one
In conjunction with the drive for
funds, we-Loyd Ledford and myself
erected an old-faShioned out
house in front of the Western Un-
ion. My plan was to burn the joint
down on Wednesday and turn in the
fire alarm on both sides Of the bor-
der to make lot of noise and hula
baloo so that we could sell tickets
for the amateur show that night.
But was tipped off IN the after
noon that if I set fire to the estab-
Iishment I would be arrested Tor
arson. And was ordered to get
the vulgar building off the street
right now by the Mayor. However,
he relented and let us leave it there
until 5 o'clock.
Then I did something I'd been
wanting to do since I was KID. L
pulled the fire box and got both
companies to come to the corner,
and Ledford succeeded in selling
about $3.50 in tickets
Well, that should have been the
end of the deal but the next day
the editor of the local daily paper
had this to say in his Main Street
column-and quote: Marty
Ioughman's office being removed
from Morley and Park Ave. to points
unknown" unquote.
Well, it wasn't my office. 1t was
lust an old-fashioned clubhouse ana
I can't see how that editor mace
such an error, as I am sure ne Is
more familiar with that type OF
architecture than I am. However,
as long as he thinks it was an Office
have arranged to have it (tne
building) refurnished and am
poing to present it to him and the
county Republican Committee to oe
used as an office or headquarters
On second thought, don't neieVe
TIL have it refurnished as l oeileVe
he will be more at ease using 1t as
