Anthony Eden reviewed the war, ex plaining the reverses in the Balkans and offering strong hope for the fu ture with increased aid from the United States The Balkan reverses were partly explained by the mis representations coming out of Yu goslavia. Eden stating that Prince Paul and the military leaders failed to grasp the seriousness of the sitUtF tton until it was too late. In this country. President Roose velt held a meeting with economic and military advisers and discussed plans for a general speed-up in arm ament production. Th?? President stated that war plane supremacy must be had. and it is expected that tlie production of big bombers will be stressed during the coming months. The President did not speci fy by what ratio he was ordering heavy bomber production speeded up. But he left no doubt that the objective he has fixed will strain this country's production facilities to their utmost.

Nis wonger, extension horticulturist <?f N C State College "On this basis, the average price to growers as a whole would be $14.50 to $14.75 a ton. the highest since 1930." he continued. "In mah ing this estimate, the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics used as a basis the relationship of prices paid and acreage planted for the years 1933-40. inclusive, with an addition al allowance for expected changes in production costs in some areas during 1941 "Naturally." Niswonger went on. "there will be considerable varia tion among states. In the past, prices have varied as much as $4 to $5 a ton. But now all tomato growers have their best opportunity in years to make money." To make it possible for canners to take immediate steps to secure the increase in tomato acreage, ttic Fed eral Surplus Marketing Adnunis tration proposes to ask canners to submit offers at once to deliver can ned tomatoes after the new pack has been completed. The SMA. in considering bids, will make allowance for increases from $2 75 to $3 a ton over 1940 contract prices to growers. It is expected that the price increase will apply to the entire contracted production of all growers who cooperate in furnish ! ing the increased quantities desir ed.
