WASHINGTON (P) IVesi-dent Uooscvelt told (lontcresn tliut hk a final Nazi defeat approaches "the fury ()f their insane desire to wipe out the Jewish race in Europe continues undiminished." "This is but one example," Mr. Koosevelt said in transmitting a report on arrangements for caring for war refugees. "Many Christum groups also mo being murdered." "Knowing that they have lost the war, the Nazis are deter-mined to complete their program of mass extermination. This program is but one manifestation of Hitler's aim to salvage from military defeat victory for Nazi principles tlie very principles which this war must destroy unless we shall have fought in vain." The President outlined recently-completed arrangements to bring about relugees to this country for temporary housiny in military rumn Oswego, N. Y.

After the war, he said, these refugees, mostly women and children, will be returned to their homeland. Mr. Koosevelt said the work of the war refugee board, composed of the Secretaries ol State, Treasury, and War, has "brought new hope to the oppressed people of Europe." From various sources, lie continued, he has received word that thousands of people "have been given the will and desire to continue by the concrete manifestation of this government's desire to do posible to aid and rescue the oppressed." Facilities for earing- for war refugees in Southern Italy have become so overtaxed, he added, that unless arrangements to move them on can be made the escape of other refugees will be "seriously Even before the Allies landed in Italy, he said, there had been a general movement of refugees from various countries into that area. Speaking of Nazi persecutions of minority groups, the President said: "To its the unprovoked murder of innocent people simply because of race, religion or political creed is the blackest ol all possible crimes. Since the Nazis began this campaign many of our citizens in all walks of life and all political and religious persuasions have expressed our feelings of repulsion and our It is a matter with respect to which there is and can be no division of opinion amongst us."

B. CROOK, Sec. May 19-1 mo. the Southwest Pacific. not which they buy and cash in.

There are certain less obvious but equally valid reasons why farmers should strive to keep the Bonds they buy until the date of their maturity. For example, there is the question of prices. Present indications are that prices will continue relatively high during the early years of the postwar period and may even increase. A flood of post-war buying, especially if it is supported by individual sales of War Bonds, might generate serious inflationary movement which could easily absorb a large proportion of wartime savings. In spite of all that can be done to prevent it, there will likely be a tendency in this direction.

This is especially true since the availability of many items will be limited for at least a few years after the war. The probability is that those who keep their Bonds will be able to cash them in after prices have declined rather than when they are at their peak. There is, of course, the possibility that we shall experience a post-war depression instead of a post-war boom. In the one instance farmers would see prices of things they sell decline more rapidly than prices of things they buy; in the other, wages and non-agricultural prices would rise more rapidly than prices of farm products. In either case the result would be bad and I am certain that farmers will wish to do everything in their power to prevent it.

Aside from these mere or less theoretical reasons why farmers (as well as all others) should be exceedingly slow about cashing in their War Bonds, there is another intensely practical reason. It might be stated in the negative: "Why shouldn't farmers keep their War Bonds?" Most of them have purchased Bonds out of surplus earnings resulting from wartime governmental expenditures. If history repeats itself these earnings will continue high for a few years after the war and ordinary farm needs presumably may be financed from current operations. It is to be hoped at least that farmers will not need to dispose of their accumulated savings in order to meet post war needs and until War Bonds mature their interest yield will doubtless compare favorably with that from any other investment. Farmers, of course, should not neglect their resources nor permit their operating efficiency to decrease merely for the sake of holding on to their Bonds.

They should, however, be certain of a real need for the money before they cash them in prematurely. L'. 7 rmsury Department Selective Service director.

American League, the first time in years the Yanks have been in the second division this late in the season. "When Jake Powell singled in the 11th inning to give Washington a 4 to victory it marked the Yankees' sixth straight defeat and their 12th setback in their last 14 games.

The regulation game had ended in a 1-1 deadlock and it appeared that the Yanks were in when they scored twice in the tenth. But the Senators tied it up again in their half and proceeded to tag Atley Donald for the winning run in the 11th. Donald had relieved Starter Joe Page who pitched the first nine innings. Johnny Niggeling went the distance for the Senators. In another American League night game Cleveland nicked Detroit, (i to 5, mainly on the strength of a five-run uprising in the fourth.

Mickey Kocco and Oris Hockett drove in lour of the five tallies in this frame, each delivering a two-run single.

Manager Mel Ott and First Baseman Phil Weiiit ra lib each socked two homers for the winners. Altogether Weintraub drove five runs, his best day since his II RBI the day the Giants took Brooklyn, 2i-K, a month ago. The Chicago White Sox and the St.

Louis Browns were tied, 1-1, after 2 1-2 innings when rain forced a postponement. The other clubs in both circuits had an open date. 40 Draft Procedure Is Revised Again After Physical Tests, Men Will Be Called To Some Branch Of Army Or Navy. WASHINGTON The na tion's draft procedure has been revised again, this time to create a common pool of available men upon which both the Army and Navy will draw. After July 1 men who pass their induction physicals no longer will be assigned to a specific service but will return home to await orders to report for duty.

Only then will they know whether they have drawn the Army or Navy. Selective Service, in announcing the new arrangement, said changing needs of the armed forces have made it impossible to withdraw men from the present separate pools at an even rate, with the result that in some cases fathers were being taken by the Navy while non-fathers in the same board still were awaiting calls from the Army. "The revised procedure trill FARMERS in my section of the country do not need to be told why they should buy War Bonds. Many of them have sons or brothers in one or the other branches of the service and they have a direct and personal interest in pro viding them with the supplies and materials of War. They know, also, that so long a they assume this responsibility and use their own funds for this purpose it will not be necessary for Uncle Sam to create new and inflationary dollars in order to do the job.

I think, too. that farmers look upon their purchases of War Bends as actually serving a threefold purpose, either one of which is sufficient to justify whatever temporary inconvenience this might necessitate. In the first place, by buying War Bonds farmers make another direct and vital contribution to the winning of the war; secondly, they help keep prices within reasonable bounds: and finally, they build up a highly important reserve supply of funds which may be drawn upon after the war. This reserve may be applied to the purchase of needed items of equipment and supply which either are not available now, or, if available, more expensive than normally would be the case. Meanwhile, of course, their investments in War Bonds will draw interest and if allowed to mature will return four dollars for three.

Most farmers I know can teach the rest of us a great deal when it comes to reasons for buying War Bonds. They have been accustomed to small income in the past and have been quick to see that recent increases are due to large scale government spending and, therefore, not likely to continue indefinitely. Since goods for civilian consumption are both scarce and expensive, and since further demands could serve only to push prices still higher, it has appeared both logical and patriotic for farmers to use surplus funds to finance the purchase of essential military equipment. My impression is that a great many War Bond purchasers are not fully informed as to the necessity for keeping them until they mature. (Reference of course, is primarily to purchasers of bonds which return $100 for each S75 invested if held for ten years).
