Future Prices on ! H Products

It is plain that price relief will be
needed to meet the increased
wage and material costs which
we must carry.
We regret this necessity. We
prefer to lower prices, when pos
sible, rather than raise them and
we know our customers prefer to
have us do that. We had hoped to
be able to 'hold the line, at least.
But we do not see how we can
avoid operating at a loss if our
prices continue to remain at their
present frozen levels. We will
NOT "cut corners" on any Of our
products, because QUALITY is
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR
BUSINESS.
Our customers can be certain
that we will seek no more than a
moderate profit, both because of
our policies and because we have
approximately 800 competitors
fighting us vigorously for your
business. Our request for price
relief will be no more than is nee
essary to insure continued service
to our customers, continued work
for our employees, and a reason
able return for our stockholders.

Macarthur Refuses
Jap Repatriation
Ships, Reds Charge
B, III, Associated Press

TOKYO, Sept. ga Soviet
spokesman charged today that
Gen. Macarthur had refused
ships for the repatriation of
Japanese nationals from the Port
Arthur area and from North
Korea.
Konstantin Popov, Soviet EN-
bassy press attache, told a press
conference that an agreement had
been reached for such repatriation
and that the Russians officially
asked Gen. Macarthur for such
ships. However, carrying out of
the agreement rs being held up by
the refusal of the supreme COM
mander, Allied powers, to provide
ships" he asserted.
United States Ambassador George
c. Atcheson, jr. retorted, few
hours later, that Soviet refusal to
include prisoners of war among re-
patriates broke down negotiations.
Liberty Ships Returning.
He said 1t. Gen. Kuzma Derevy-
anko, Soviet member of the Allied
council, made it know he was not
authorized to discuss the repatri-
alton of any but japanese civilians
He did not wish to proceed
with the discussion of the remain
ing repatriation problems as a whole,
involving the hundreds of thou
sands Of Japanese prisoners of war
in Soviet hands.
1T was made known to the Soviet
member that we had shipping read
lily available to effect the repair
ton"
United States Navy headquar-
ters recently said SIS Liberty ships
used in repatriation were being re-
turned to the United States this
month and next.
Popov estimated that 800, 900 jap
snese nationals were to be repatri-
ated from the Port Arthur area and
100000 from Northern Koea-both
under Russian domination.
He believed" there would be no
obstacle to the return of japanese
nationals living in Russian con-
troifed Sakhalin and the Kurile Is
lands. He said that as far as he
knows not one Japanese there had
petitioned to return to Japan, but
that 5000 in Japan wanted to
emlgrate there to Join relatives. He
said "America authorities in
Japan have refrained for several
months from giving them permis-
sion to leave Hokkaido for Sakhalin.
Petitions Sent to Macarthur.
Repatriation is paramount ques-
ton for thousands of japanese who
have relatives and friends in Soviet
zones. Petitions bearing many
thousands of names have been sent
to Gen. Macarthur, the Allied coun-
Gil, Mr.. Atcheson, and Gen. Derevy-
anko, asking that such Japanese be
returned to their homeland.
United States Congress members
visiting here recently said an army
OF 100000 is among Japanese still
in Soviet areas.
Mr.. Popov said Russia would con-
form with terms of the Potsdam
declaration IN repatriation Soviet
held japanese prisoners of war and
that such POW were being treated
IN conformance with the Hague
Convention.
