She faces a possible 30-Day shutdown of her Oil Wells. The Railroad commission Oil regulatory body is studying a situation similar to that of last summer when a 15-Day shutdown was ordered to bolster falling prices. Commissioner Jerry Sadler said i m not personally in favor of a general but the commis Sion needs to be in a Clear Cut manner when it should impose cuts. I want to know exactly where production will be bought. Unless purchasers Are willing to show me How much they need and where they la buy it 1 will recommend a 30-Day buyers were to present nominations for crude purchases today. Against the shutdown order which could be issued by two of the three commissioners stood the state s Oil men. Almost to a Man they opposed a Complete shutdown but admit something is needed or the tanks will be filled soon. Fields that have been producing excess Oil for Export have continued pumping it even though markets have not been available. Commission chairman Lon Smith although previously committed to the possibility of a shutdown said after Oil men appeared before the commission that there May be no necessity for a Complete turnoff. The third commissioner Ernest o. Thompson said there is no need for an extended general shutdown. Steel output for France halted new York june 19.

More about Athlone continued from Page one of his excellency and the Princess was made known to the general Public Only after they were aboard a special train bound for the capital. Never before had a governor Gen eral arrived in Canada to a recep Tion so bereft of the traditional Dis play. Even the tradition that has dictated a governor general take the oaths immediately on his arrival in the Dominion was forsworn.

Seed growers pledge loyalty to War Effort Assurance of whole hearted in Dorsa Tion of All the Dominion government does toward winning the War is voiced in a Telegram sent wednesday morning to prime min ister w. L. Mackenzie King by members of the. Canadian seed growers association nov holding their annual meeting at the University of Manitoba. It was decided to instruct the incoming executive to closely study the matter of control measures of seed borne disease. The Cereal committee headed by or. C. H. Goulden recommended that whenever new varieties Are produced the first distribution of the foundation seed be Given to seed growers members of the association and Only to Farmers in general when there were More stocks than the seed growers them selves could handle for multiplication. Defence planes Only says Ford Detroit june 19. A Henry Ford re emphasized today that if his plants get into the production of War materials it will be for defensive purposes Only. Asked about an announcement from London yesterday that the British government had contracted with his company for 6.000 Rolls Royce Merlin aviation engines Ford said we Are not doing business with the British government or any other foreign government. If we make Rolls Royce Merlin engines it will be on an order from the United states War supplies London june 19. Up the government is studying the possibility of negotiating with soviet Russia for of tanks guns air planes and other War weapons Richard Butler under Secretary for foreign affairs told the House of commons today. More about Dexter continued from Page one we must be prepared to stand tin propped. As the Bill advanced in the com Mons through successive stages it became increasingly apparent that once passed parliament alone will be the safeguard of All our liberties. .V.R. Power to control the lives and the property of citizens passes now into the hands of the govern ment to be used subject Only to parliament s approval. All other safeguards will have vanished by Nightfall. The Pace of these developments was like the swiftness with which a Man. Roused from sleep and realizing suddenly that a great storm is approaching rushes to close the windows and the doors. Drafted overnight As late As sunday there was no thought of so drastic a measure. It was first considered and approved by the Cabinet on monday night. Tie Bill was drafted overnight introduced when the commons opened and Given priority .V.R.ail other business. Enactment will not disrupt the economic life of the country. The Powers will Only be used As the need arises. But this Bill coupled with the National registration to be started forthwith will mean that Canada s War Effort will not have to wait upon the voluntary system. Manpower according to the govern ment will be used to the greatest advantage. But .V.R. Man physically fit under 45 years of age not needed for vital War will be called into the army and trained for Home defence. This undoubtedly will involve a Canadian army for Home defence of close to men. Details of training when the various classes will be called to the colors have yet to be announced but it is Learned reliably that sub Stantial numbers will be called up in a few weeks. The difficulty at the moment lies with Lack of equipment and instructional staff. Our supplies of men and material Are being rushed to Britain As rap idly As possible. Britain has even accepted gratefully the Ross rifles remaining in ordnance since they were condemned in the last War. New situation exists with respect to the budget conscription of wealth and material plus the enormous increase in Canada s armed forces a new situation exists. All previous forecasts Are wiped out. Since Hon. J. L. Ralston gave his estimate of for War expenditures in the current fiscal year the defence department has called for additional troops. The air Force is being expanded at break neck Speed. The old school tie attitude of the air Force toward recruits has vanished. Veterans of the air Force in the last War whose offers of service were received almost with con tempt arc now being welcomed with open arms. Provided they Are physically fit and under 48 years of age they Are wanted to help train the youngsters to repair the loss of instructors sent to Britain in the past few weeks. Moreover the air department has called for volunteers among britishers and canadians in the . Who served in the air Force in the last War. If Large numbers of United states citizens with flying experience turn up and declare themselves British no questions Are going to be asked. This tremendous expansion will add greatly to the War Cost. The estimate for this year must have passed Days ago. It is still soaring. The budget must now be approaching a total outgo for the current year of close to immense gains in income but staggering though that figure is the returns show immense gains in income by reason of the higher taxation of last september and the general improvement in business. It looks As if the Treasury would take in perhaps this year without any further increase in gain of 40 per cent .V.R.last year. And the Large increases in taxation coming Friday will yield More heavily than was anticipated. Yet despite these dramatic developments it remains tue that the government s major War Effort continues to be directed to the support of Britain. Home defence bulks larger than it did 48 hours ago but it is still a poor second to the vital Battle of Britain now beginning. Since the break through in France in mid May Britain has had to withdraw from the air training plan has had to Tell us that she can no longer equip Canada s army with guns and other essential sup plies. As or. Ralston put it on May 20, Canada is now on her own. Since May 20, the scope and Char Acter of our War programme has been completely changed. There is a feeling at Ottawa that we Are getting places succeeding where Success seemed impossible. Canada is no longer a Junior partner in this struggle. We Are the most powerful ally Britain now possesses and we Are functioning As such.
