Military Station in Great Lakes Region Would Forestall En- emy Move, Is Claim.

(By Douglas B. Cornell) (Associated Press Staff Writer) (AP. By Guardian's Special Wire) WASHINGTON, April 28 - A "camouflaged" provision for a pow- erful Unitod Etatee air-base near (he Canadian border was dholused today to have been written into the Wilcox air-base bill as redraf-

ted by the war department. Brigadier General Charles B. Kiibcume. assistant chief of staff of war plans, put the language into the bill already approved by the house military oonansittee which designates six other strategic areas (or consideration in creating do? lensive aviation centres.

DISCUSSED AT SECRET . MEETING

"l should be very glad to put in tlw- bili_ the Great Lakes ares, Kiiboume told a secret mee ing of the mmlttec. "but I could not gut it. in the bill becauseof the

anadian situation.

"You will notice no. seven in my bill is camouflaged. 1t is called ‘in- termediate’ stations for transcon- tinental fiiwts, but it means the same thing." '

As framed by representative wil- sox. Florida Democrat. the bill llwbosed a base in the Great Lakes legion. but the clause was elimin- ated after Kilbcurn said:

"we would like to but one close to the Great Lakes but we must avoid going too far in establishing new military stations close to the northern border and limit ourselves to those esseniini in peacetime training operations.

"We do not want to accentuate anything that would look as though we a‘ ntemplated passing away from the century-old principle that our Canadian border needs no defence. I think it would bc very unfort- unate if we did."

REPORT DISCLOBBB FEAR

Testimony of high war depart- ment officials at the secret ses- sion, just made available in ed committee report. showed their fcar an enemy might establish air bases in Canada for operations against the vital population and lndustrlaLcentres in the northeast quarter of the United States.

Brigadier General ll‘. M. Andrews. head oi the new general headquart- ers air force. told the committee it was not believed Canada would Join a coalition hostile to the Unit- ed States unless forced to.

"But if silo were part of such a coalition," he added. "air force cp- erations from a base in the Great Let-es area would be capable of dominating the industrial heart of Canada. the Ontario peninsula, and prevent establishment of enemy bases in that area for operations against this particularly vitnl areal (northeast United States)"

Safe at Large’s Livery Stable Rifled Dur- ing Week-end.

Tile theft of $163 in cash was made from an unlocked safe in horse's Livery Stable, Queen

Street. opposite the City Hall, sometime between 11.15 Saturday night and 9 o'clock Sunday morn- ing. The money was in Canadian currency.

There was no evidence of s. break having been made, and it is believed that the thief obtained entrance to the livery stable be- fore closing up time Saturday night. He would then have had access to the harness room and office where the safe was kept. This room was unlocked, and as the safe mechanism had been out

Pending a careful analysis from the Canadian end he declined to express an opinion on the feasi- bility of the idea. Dr. Whitby heads the joint committee establisfrzi by the Department of Agriculture and the National Research Council ap- pointed to find new uses for pot- atoeg in view of the heavy sur- plus last fall. the loss of eXDOTt markets and low prices.

He found starch-making from potatoes proceeding on a lerBQ scale in England, France. Gennany. and Holland and was impressed with the up-io-dateness of the plants. Glucose. a form of starch, now chiefly obtained from import- ed corn would be the chief out- let for potatoes in industry in Cen- ada but its manufacture from pot- stceg would require a heavy 1n- v ‘ in plant and machinery and an assured supply o: low mire potatoes from year to year. he said-

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) WASHINGIDN, April 2&-A co- author of the Silver Purchase Act predicted today that continuation of the United States Government's present silver policy eventually would force international currency stabilization.

As Representative Dies, Texas Democrat. was making this fore- cast, Secretary Henry Mofggnthgu and his Treasury aides watched world-wide reaction to increases in the American price for silver. They made preparations too for discus- sions with Roberto Lopez, assist- ant secretary of the Mexican De- partment of 'l‘ress11ry. who was "x95 by his government for a first-hand study of Wsshingtm silver activities.

Belief was Icneral that the ‘Mexican Government, impelled by monetary difficulties which closed thebanks over the weekend and forced orders for the surrender of sliver coins. would ask the United States to ease its purchase pro-
