Gibson Distilling Co. New York, N. EXPECTED TO EASE GERMAN SEA BLOCKADE George Thinks Development May Retard Demand For U. S. Convoys WASHINGTON.
April (P): Chairman George (D-Ga) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said today that establishment of Balkan front in the European war ease Nazi -blockwould. against Great Britain and duce to some extent the chances that the United States might! become more deeply involved the conflict. While said it remained to be seen whether Greece and Yugoslavia could halt the German invaston long enough to establish solid front, he declared that Nazi concentration of airpower there seemed sure to be reflected in a lessening of raids on shipping around the British isles. This in turn, he told reporters. appeared likely to retard the demand both in and out of congress for the convoying, by shipments American to Britain.
naval George units has contended that the Institution of such convoys would be almost certain to involve this country in naval warfare. Furthermore, George said he doubted that President Roosevelt was giving Any consideration to convoys at this time and Senator Norris (Ind agreed. Norris said that while there had been a great deal of talk about convoys "there is no evidence that the President is going to do it, so I don't see any reason to worry about it." He said he WAS opposed to convoys 1f they could be avoided. The convoy question was raised in resolution by Senator (R- NH) which would put congress on record against such method of Atlantic transport. This resolution was scheduled for consideration by Foreign Relations Committee Wednesday, but George said action would have to be delayed because so many members were absent from the city, The foreign relations chairman reiterated his expressed belief that Mr.
Roosevelt would not order American vessels into European combat zones without rirst consulting congress. "I don't think that by any possible stretch of the imagination the navy could be ordered to convoy belligerent merchant ships into the danger zones without the consent of congress," he declared. "That would be engaging in limited form of naval warfare and I feel confident that no effort will be made to do it without first coming to congress."

G. DONLEY (Consolidated News Features) NEW YORK, April sales keeping in step with the faster tempo of the general retailing parade. Retail food sales in recent weeks have shown gains of 12 to 13 per cent over like periods year ago. A relatively small rise in prices accounts for part of this gain, but more important is the steady rise in consumer incomes. with many families now getting weekly pay envelopes in place of a subsistence level of living on relief projects.
This larger and spreading purchasing power has brought about shift in the demand to the intermediate and better-grade foods. Factory payrolls are reported to be rising more rapidly than employment, with many producers increasing working time, and paying overtime wages. which are 50 per cent above the regular rate, in order to make more pression on heavy order backlogs. Food accounts for about -third of the working family's cost of living. but food distributors figure that when workers' incomes are on the increase about 20 per cent of the increased income goes for more and better food.
It is estimated that men in the army eat about twice as much meat as when they are following their ordinary civilian occupations. The proportion of canned consumption is also higher in army camps. Men are being added to the armed forces at the rate of nearly 200.000 a month, with the February total estimated at 1.150.000, including members of the national guard inducted into regular service. The latest daily food budget of the army is estimated at $750,000, making this branch of the service a leading food buyer, second in importance to 1 a large grocery chain. Such purchases, of course, represent only a fraction of the nation's total food bill, but they have substantially reduced supplies of canned goods, according to recent survey by Dun Bradstreet.
And that is part of the reason why number of canned food packers have withdrawn their prices on new-crop packs. Packers are worried AS to whether they will be able to obtain enough labor in competition with higher paying defense jobs. At the same time they feel that the whole story of purchases for aid -toBritain has not yet been told. The potential total of such takings seems likely to rise with the increasing loss of cargoes and bombing damage to food warehouses. Meanwhile, fillip seems likely to be given to food prices all around by the government's announced intention so to direct its surplus food buying.

S. Economic Defense Program By IRVING PERLMETER WASHINGTON, April placed officials said today creation of a system of import control might constitute the next step in the government's rapidly expanding economic defense program. Under this system government control agency would be authorized to determine what foreign merchandise should be admitted to the United States and what should be excluded. However, the plan was regarded as so drastic, since it might exclude such items as Japanese silk, that the officials were unwilling to predict when, if at all, it might be instituted. So far, they explained, it is merely in the discussion stage.
"Economic name officials give to any sort of economic action to help the United States and the British Allies and to impede the effort of the Axis powers -is growing SO fast that many advisers are reported to have urged President Roosevelt to set up a special unit to COordinate the numerous activities. Principal evidences of the program to date have been the "freezing" of $4,500,000,000 worth of assets held in this country by 13 European nations which have come under the domination of either the Axis powers or Russia; institution of suits to break up alleged German influence in patent monopolies on articles vital to the national defense, particularly magnesium and optical instruments; setting up of export controls which restrict the shipment of scrap iron, aviation gasoline and hundreds of other items: Export-Import Bank loans to Argentina and other Latin American countries to facilitate their cooperation with both the United States and Great Britain. The recent seizure of 69 German, Italian and Danish ships in American ports also is considered in official circles to fit into the economic defense picture, although the vesseis actually were put under coast guard custody because of attempted or suspected sabotage. What officials call "preclusive buying" of strategic war materials to prevent their purchase by Axis agents has been advocated as another economic move. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation already is making large purchases in Latin America and the Far East, but has not classified these as "preclusive buying." althougn some of the deals may have the same effect.
Import controls appeared to be the only major new development being We, The Women TREAT YOUR SERVANT AS YOUR HUBBY TREATS HIS SECRETARY By RUTH MILLETT Can you say all this about your own home, men? Try it, and see: Home is where I can read the evening paper sitting in a comfortable chair under good light with a handy ash tray--and without interruption. Home is where there is always a snack in the ice box. Home is where what I told the boss is looked on as one of the great speeches of all time. Home is where I can get into comfortable clothes and usually into comfortable frame of mind at the same time. Home is where I can house any kind of hobby that appeals to to me at the moment.
Home is where there is a davenport in the living room long enough to out while I listen to my favorite ball team taking a beating. Home is where I'm not likely to find my in-laws when I come home from work. Home is where the book I am reading is left beside my chair until I've finished it. Home is where nothing is said if I'm A a few minutes late at night. DON'T GRUMBLE IF YOU CAN ANSWER YES Home is where I'd rather be, on most evenings, than anywhere else- discussed by officials in connection with the "economic defense" program.
They predicted, however, intensification of the steps already taken. Thus, for instance, some officials particularly in the treasury, are understood to want to expand the "freezing" technique to the Americanheld assets of every country on earta. This, they argue, might prevent the use of some Axis funds for propaganda and espionage in the Western Hemisphere by restricting not only the funds of Axis nations but of other nations which might be blinds for Axis activities.

of the grocery trade points out that dollar sales of retail groceries during 1940 showed a 4 to 5 per cent increase over 1939. Total food consumption on tonnage basis actually reached a new high last year but the relatively low price levels prevented dollar sales volume from fully reflecting the peak tonnage. Wholesale food sales in 1940 were the largest in ten years on a dollar basis, and so far in 1941 have run 6 to 12 per cent above last year. "Net profits of food companies for 1940," says the survey, "were slightly above the 1939 level which marked the high for recent years. Some major food companies suffered profit declines during the first nine months of 1940, although their sales reached record high levels.
During the fourth quarter earnings improved and showed gains which were repeated in the first quarter of 1941."
