OTTAWA.-A vast iron ore de-
post in the Canadian-Labrador
northland, which appears to be one
Of the greatest in the world, may,
through a 5000, 900 900 program Of
exploration and development, con-
vert a virtually uninhabited area
into a thriving industrial project Of
world Importance.
Several million dollars already
have been spent on exploration and
drilling in the area, now peopled
only by few thousand Eskimos and
Indians. Tests indicate that the
field has rich deposits of high-grade
Bessemer ore, rivaling those of the
famed Mesabi Range In Minnesota,
leading source OF iron in North
America.
Some American capital, represent
ed by the M. "A. Hanna Co. of Cleve-
land. already is In the development.
Much more money is to be spent,
however, and excitement is rising
in mining circles as exploration and
drilling this year gets under way on
the largest scale yet attempted.
Interest in the new field Is quick
ened also because the Mesabi supply,
depleted by heavy wartime drains. is
dwindling in the face Of continued
heavy world demands for iron and
steel.
American Backing Reported.
The new deposits lie astride the
Quebec-Labrador boundary between
800 and 400 miles north Of the Gulf
of st. Lawrence, far into the hinter-
land at the headwaters of the
George, Whale and Swampy Rivers
in Quebec and extending into Lab
rador.

old T. Youngren, engineering; j

L. Bricker, manufacturing, and Will
liam T. Gossett, general counsel
Industry quarters generally ex-
pect more vice presidents to be
named. but with very decided re-
sponsibilities to the youthful pres
ident. who once remarked that nc
one man alone could handle the
tremendous job Of directing the
Ford Motor Co.
Certainly, Benson Ford, a direc-
tor as we'll as a Policy Committee
member, and another brother, Will
liam, will have high posts in the
great empire Henry Ford founded
in 1908 with a paid-in capital oil
only $4,000.
Highly Regarded in Industry.
Henry Ford II stands high in the
esteem of his fellow-car manufac-
turers, trade authorities and the
industry's chroniclers. All like his
willingness to talk frankly about
the problems facing the Ford COM
pany and the automobile industry
in general.
They credit him with tremendous
progress in the short time he has
headed the big industrial organiza-
ton. Besides placing each phase OF
its operations On a highly efficient
basis, they say, he also has set up
an entirely new idea of labor rela-
tionship between the Ford manage
ment and its approximately 100000
hourly rated workers. s'
One of his favorite assertions is
that "No wage is too high as long
as it is earned"
Yet to be learned definitely are
the exact circumstances attending
the complete retirement of the elder
Ford and the turning over Of full
authority to his grandson. It has
been reported, but without confir-
nation, that the action was taken
at the insistence Of the widow Of
Edsel Ford.
Sometimes described now rs one
of the most powerful figures in the
company, she is said to have in
sisted upon the reorganization and
demanded that her son be president
in fact as well as in name. The
stockholdings she controlled and the
possibility she might put them up
for sale are said to have given
weight to her demands.
The younger Ford rarely holds q
press conference at which somebody
does not ask about reports that
stock in the Ford company is to be
placed on public sale. Always he
denies them unequivocally.
What the vast change in the Ford
organization is to achieve in the
production and merchandising OF
motor cars Is yet to be shown
Plagued by strikes and materials
shortages Ford last year produced
slightly under three-quarters Of Q
million cars and trucks. In 1941
with the famed elder Ford still in
the saddle, output totaled 1909 $3.50
units.

Income tax payers claims to ex-
emptions for dependents are in for
sharper scrutiny by Federal tax
agents. One criminal indictment
has already been returned.
The agents see false dependency
claims as the fastest growing form
of tax chiseling. They are about the
only "tax-beating" device left for
smaller salaried people whose entire
tax is paid by withholding.
These taxpayers can't get away
with concealing part of their in
comes. And there isn't much point
in exaggerating charity contribu-
tions and such any more because
deduction of 10 per cent of income
is allowed automatically.
But even in the lowest brackets
another dependent means a tax saw
ing Of about $100. So some taxpay-
ers have invented children and de-
pendent parents, and some husbands
and wives have lied about their
spouses' income.
These phony reports are given to
employers on statements indicating
amounts to be withheld from earn
ings, or have been listed on form

Prices Slow
Import Sale
Foreign Made Goods
Too Far Above
u. S. Tags
By Garefh MHch,n ore

NEW YORK.--American manu-
facturers vino have been worried
about heavy shipments OF merchan-
disc here by countries anxious to
obtain dollar exchange might rest
q little easier II they talked to i'm
porters.
A great many imported goods are
being priced right out Of the Ameri-
can market. according to traders.
Similar American products, otter
lower priced, are equalipg or sur
passing imported goods in quality
The label imported" once consid-
cred as meaning quality Is losing
some of its attraction.
Complaints among international
traders against the high prices OF
imports have been general. Some
products Of France, Belgium, Brit
ain. Italy and other countries have
been rejected on the basis Of price.
'The dificulty Is that many prices
in the United States are leveling OF
while on the other side Of the At
lantic they are still going up,' an
importer explained.
Harry s. Radcliffe, executive Sec
retary Of the National Council Of
American Importers, said imitation
in the importing countries Of Europe
and Of South America tended to
support the high prices asked by ex-
porting nations with inflated econ
ornies.
In the case Of French goods, i'm
porters estimate prices are so to 100
per cent, or even more, above pre-
war prices.
In their anxiety to obtain Ameri-
can dollars, importers say, some
European manufacturers have been
sending to the United States goods
that fall short of traditional quality
standards.
Irregular Deliveries Hurt.
Two instances, possibly unique, are
the case of the British suitcases
marked "all leather" but failing to
meet that standard, and some
French cameras. Several camera
dealers in New York have reduced
to $40 or less French cameras orig
inally priced at $56, saying the quail
ity was below American standards.
Other factors working against in
creased imports, traders here say,
are:
l. Irregularity Of deliveries. Ship
ments sometimes arrive four or FIVE
months after their scheduled arriy-
al, making sales promotion difficult.
2. In finally offering to make de-
livery, the foreign supplier often
says: 1--WE now have the goods, but
the price is 30 per cent above that
originally quoted"
g. Reordering on the basis of
quality is difficult, and on the basis
of similar price frequently impos-
sible.
4. Exchange difficulties. These
vary with countries. In connection
with exchange, American buyers
often find the only source of desired
merchandise is the black market.
Rather than become involved i'll
shady transactions, they forget the
whole thing.
In their troubles, importers are
finding as did some American man
ufacturers that poorly made mer-
chsndise. imported or domestic,
cannot compete with better-known
brands when the latter become
available at equal or lower prices.

Don Juan's Obligations.
Many Spainards and foreigners
living here doubt that the monarchy
could be successfully replanted ir
the hearts of the people. 1t is &
historical axiom that expelled dy.
nasties have seldom returned for an,
length of time in any country. Their,
is, too, the question of Don Juan:
obligations to those who have
worked for years for his enthrone
ment. Most of these men will wan
important positions in the govern
nent and other special privileges
which Don Juan, as King, coult
hardly refuse them.
These people would organize !,
new court camarilla, and even i
Don Juan has the best of inten
tions and the kindest of feeling
for the underpriviledged, his en-
tourage would see to it that a wal
was erected between him and tn,
people.
That has been the experienc,
generally with dynasties called bacl
from exile. Some of them hav,
survived for while because o
their novelty. Others have beet
supported by foreign bayonets. Blu
Throughout history few monarch
who have returned from exile hav'
remained on their thrones to di,
natural deaths.

L~eeuwenburg To Harvest -
Huge Oat Crop Merit Week
Record Crop Expected
From Land That Was
Barren z Years Ago

Less than two years ago joan
Leeuwenburg, New Hanover county
dairyman and farmer, purchased
200 acres of land on the Camp
Davis highway, about six miles
from Wilmington. Many farmers
thought he had make a mistake
when he bought the land, which
was poorly drained and not very
suitable for growing.
Leeuwenburg went to work with
a bulldozer and other large clear
ing tools and soon he had the
land, or so acres of it ready to
plant. The first crops to be plant
ed on the fresh ground was corn
and a very good yield was the
result of the hard work.
On the recommendation of Glenn
Herring, an agent of the North
Carolina department of agricul-
ture, Leeuwenburg treated the
land with blue stone, phosphoric
acid, phosphate, potash, lime and
borax.
Leeuwenburg said he planted the
oats in December and expects to
harvest the crop in al ut two
weeks. The oats are as high as
three feet in many places and is
one of the ;rgest crops of oats
in this county.
r. w. Galphin, New Hanove,
county farm agent said last night
that Leeuwenburg should get from
81 to 100 bushels per acre yield
Leeuwenburg said he would place
the harvested oats IN mis- silo. In
addition to the farm ne also op-
crates a dairy at Highwood Park.

Condition OF Early Irish
Potatoes Considered
Below Normal

Summarizing current prospects
on North Carolina truck crops, the

ice says that the condition Of early
Irish potatoes is below normal,

largely from adverse weather in
March. Probable date Of first har-
vest was set at June l..
Strawberries have come through
early-season bad weather in fairly
good shape, with the plants having
a heavy set a blossoms and indi-
cations pointing to a heavy set OF

Although soil moisture is re-
garded as adequate, the lettuce
crop may head up smaller than
usual.
The small beet acreage con-
tinues to be in poor condition.
After coming through the period
of cold weather which reduced
stands, the crop has been cut fur
Their by a short period of unduly
wet weather. Current prospects
are for poor yields.
The cabbage crop has made
normal progress as the result OF
