COME INTO MY PARLOR?Of Cabinet Body Four Ministers of Yugoslav Government Seek to Resign Posts in IProtest at Reported Capitulation to Demands of Germany for Limited Co-operation With Axis\u2014Pro-British Public Feeling Grows.» Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Mardi 21._(Æ>)\u2014Jhe Yugoslav Government was reported to have vielded today to German pressure and agreed to a working arrangement with the Axis but forthwith found itself confronted by an internal crisis generated by powerful pro-British elements.Prince Paul, the Chief Regent, refused to accept the resignations of three ministers given in protest against the Yugoslav capitulation.A fourth cabinet member was reported to be planning to resign, and feverish political conferences kept the capital tense.Although the Government\u2019s action was reported by responsible Government sources, British circles insisted they had reason to believe Yugoslavia had reached no decision on what concessions she would make to the Axis.While admitting that the solution might be found in time to permit the Premier and Foreign Minister to leave for Vienna for the signing coon, British officials said a cabinet meeting this morning and an afternoon meeting at the Palace were \"'sufficient indication no agreement has yet been reached.\u201d The meeting at the Palace with Prince Paul was attended by Premier I) rag is a Cvetkovic, Vice-Premier Vladimir Macek, the Croat leader, and Djafcr Culovez, the Slovene leader.The tenseness was heightened by disclosure that four of Yugoslavia\u2019s most prominent generals were pensioned early in the week as a \u201cmere routine matter.\u201d Observers said army circles have been among the most vigorous opponents of a surrender to Germany.But Government circles said the remaining high officers had agreed to the Government\u2019s decision.Nervousness in the capital was accentuated by paralysis of the city\u2019s trolley, telephone and lighting services for a short period at noon.Engineers said the trouble was technical.German circles claimed the formalizing of Yugoslavia\u2019s entry into closer relations with the Reich would be swift, with Premier Cvetkovic and Foreign Minister Alksander Cincar-Markovic due to leave tonight or tomorrow for Vienna where they would sign the document Sunday.The degree to which Yugoslavia\u2019s decision will facilitate German action in the Balkans, possibly against Greece to bolster the faltering Italians, was uncertain in the absence of details of the agreement that has been reached.But a responsible Government leader said it would provide economic and \u201csemi-military \u2019 aid to the Reich.PROHIBITION MOVE OPPOSED BY LABOR Continued on Page 2, Col.4 By GUY RHOADES, (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Yugoslavia was reported today to have yielded to German pressure and offered, in a limited way, to accede to Axis demands for passage of war supplies and ambulance trains, but not troops.The immediate reaction was a threat by three cabinet ministers to resign and their forecast that serious internal disorders could be expected.The dissident Cabinet Ministers probably are right, for the Yugoslavs, Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, natural foes of Germany, are noted for their love of freedom, their belligerency and their courage.The sur-Montreal, March 21.\u2014(CP)\u2014The render to German pressure

21.\u2014(IP)\u2014The newspaper Excelsior said today it had reliable information that President Manuel Avila Camacho\u2019s Government might appropriate several of the twelve German and Italian ships now tied up in Mexican ports.The vessels would be commandeered for the duration of the war.Excelsior said.| United States Lease-Lend Bill new reports of Anglo-Greek ' cesses in Africa and Abania.! The sudden turnabout, if it actually has occurred, probably indicates that the Crown Council was threatened with some dire punishment, such as invasion by Germany, unless it surrendered.The purpose of the German demands, presumably, was to pave the way for an expedition to help the collapsing Italian forces in Albania, but there were indications that the effort may be too late.The Italians, fleeing before their enraged Greek enemies, were reported today to be \u201cdisintegrating.\u201d They appeared to have been knocked out by the effort demanded of them when Mussolini reportedly ordered that they \u201cdo something\u201d by last Saturday.The Duce himself was said by Italian prisoners to have visited the Albanian front in armored cars and tanks, exhorting the troops and cursing the generals into an offensive that cost 50,000 casualties in less than a week, disorganized battalions and left the forces weak and weary from the exhaustion of unrelieved effort.Fresh troops were believed to have been poured in to take up the slack from the fatigued veterans, but they did no good, for the Greeks, wearied little from their defence of well-protected positions, smashed at them with such fury that they had finally to fall back, leaving on the field, among others, a cousin of the Duce, one Lt.-Col.Tuveri Ciglio.The Italians, desperately needing Continued on page 2, col.5.S5SW55 £ t I I .A \" I» Adolf Hitler and gesturing Foreign Minister Joachim vor Ribhciiti\u2019op take Yugoslavia's Premier, Dragisa Cvetkovic, hat in hand, up on Salzburg, Austria, mountain top retreat to explain blessings of joining Axis powers.Minister Canadian Confident Of Abilities To Finance Post-War Cost Finance Minister Ilsley Declares that Interest Charges on War Debt Will Not Impose Intolerable Burden Upon Canadian Peopie Under Reformed Tax Programme \u2014 Opposes Undue Contraction of Debt Out of Revenue.SIX m UT VS EXPLOSION STRIKES ONTARIO STEEL PLANT Welland, OnL, March 21.\u2014(Æ\") \u2014Six men were sent (o hospital and many others suffered minor nits and bruises today as n hlast ripped part of the plant of the United Steel Corporation here.The most seriously injured was Alex Simpson, lime-keeper, who suffered a head injury and a possible fractured skull.It was believed that com pressed air lines burst, ripping out windows and masonry and damaging electrical installations.The plant is engaged in war work and although the machinery was practically undamaged it was believed that production would be interrupted for several days.Kil l ED ON NIGHT FLIGHT Dunville, Ont., March 21.\u2014(CP -LAC.Donald Edward lienniman, of Thorold, Ont., was killed early today when his plane crashed at Byng near here.Royal Canadian Air Force officials raid it occurred during night-flying practice.Mlaok On Plymouth Follows Oil Visit Of ICIng And Queen Considerable Damage Reported Caused at Southern English Port Although Casualties Are Believed Slight As Result of German Raids Which Followed Visit of Royalty to City by a Few Hours.UNITED STATES SHIPMENTS OF PLANES MOUNT FORMER COATICOOK RESIDENT PASSED AWAY IN ONTARIO COMMUNITY Cache Bay, Ont., March 21.\u2014 (®\t\u2014 Funeral services for Patrick Stack, ninety-year-old resident of this community, will be held Saturday morning.Mr.Stack, who had been a resident of Cache Bay lor thirty-two years, was a native of Coaticook, Que.He previously resided at Killaloe and Sturgeon Falls.Mr.and Mrs.Stark recently-celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.& London, March 21.\u2014(®\u2014The port of Plymouth, pounded repeatedly by the German air force since the start of the war, bore the brunt of attacks by the German air force again last night as the Royal Air Force stabbed for the 48th time at the Nazi submarine base at Lorient.Daylight activity opened today with a raid on a Southeast Coast town by a Junkers 88 which stole in under cover of fog over the Strait of Dover, dropped a number of high explosive bombs and machine-gunned streets.There was some slight damage to residential property but no casualties were reported.London, heavily raided the previous night, escaped comparativeiy lightly, hut firebombs and high ex- NORWEGIAN FREIGHTER T- , R^>POiRT^Dvi^.NnKoi up\\ plosives scattered by the Nazis left Lisbon, Portugal, March 21.\u2014-(/P) j, +r\u201e;i ^\t+u.\u2014Dispatches from the Cape Verde Islands reported today the Norwegian freighter Taponoel had been torpedoed in nearby- waters and the crew landed safely at Boavista.(Confirmation was not available in London.Lloyd\u2019s register lists a Norwegian freighter Tapanoeli of 7,034 tons.)

tho financial problems of fin' post-war world was afforded I he House of Commons yesterday as .fin* biggest money bill ever pre-.emed to a Canadian Parliament passed llie first milestone of its progress into law.Kiuanco Minister Ilsley expressed his conviction Canada could meet all finandal and social obligations in the future with properly designed taxes and need have no \u201cabject fear\u201d of the mounting national debt.Tho Minister spoke shortly before I he $1,'500,000,000 War Appropriation Mill passed out of flic résolution stage and received first | reading.This brought to an end almost n irunth of debate.There may he further debate on second reading of the bill which will be moved today.\u201cThere is not justification for an abject fear of the problem raised by our increasing national debt,\" Mr.Ilsley said.\u201cCertainly the interest charges will impose some burden on the budgets after the war but it will be far from an intolerable burden.The Minister was giving a carefully prepared answer to questions from Social Credit members as to how the Government proposed to repay the war loans, War .Savings Certificates and other debts being contracted in the securing of money lo carry on the war.He said the burden of interest crarges would probably make it desirable to reduce the debt out of revenue, but any undue taxation fo* this purpose, might be deflationary.The pre-war system of taxation was being improved in order to distribute tax burdens more equitably aral he believed Canada would have a fairer tax system after the war.Just before adjournment Mr.Ik* sley introduced a supplementary es-timate for $35,000,000, to cover,-the most of the Government\u2019s wheat acreage reduction programme in the coming year.Out of it will be made payments to Western farmers for acreage they take out of wheat production and put to summcrfallow or seed to coarse grains, rye, clover or grass.Munitions Minister Howe, on a bill lo amend the Trans-Canada Air Linos Act, reviewed the progress of the Government-owned airway and explained how it was possible to reduce the rate charged the Post Office1 Department for mail carriage from sixty to forty cents per mile, after March 31.He said mileage operated and mail carried was steadily increasing.At the forty-cent rate the.Post Office Department would just about break Continued on Page 2,

confident that the full Appropriations Committee would endorse the House-approved legislation without change by tomorrow.He told reporters that a Senate vote Monday was \u201cquite possible.\u201d .Members of the Appropriations Subcommittee conducting hearings on the bill reported that yesterday\u2019s witnesses had urged prompt enactment, without amendment, on three grounds: 1 \u2014 Any induction in the total would impair \u201cpsychological effects\u201d of the measure on the Axis powers.2 \u2014 Putting part of the fund in \u201ccontract authority\u201d rather than cash would necessitate tedious bookkeeping, leading to red tape delays.T Any change would impede Congressional and administrative action and speed in the aid programme now is essential.It was said that Stimson, Knox and Marshall contended that enactment of the bill likewise would bolster British morale and might hay© a particularly beneficial psychological effect on Balkan countries.LAURENTIAN MURDER CHARGED

automobiles, held up by the snow, were able to follow in the tracks of the Army trucks.The Company did not reach this city until nine-thirty o\u2019clock at night, and because of the late hour and the fatigue of the personnel, the demonstration was cancelled, but at least the soldiers had the satisfaction of having come to the aid of the civil power in an emergency.The Company spent the.night at

the elements essential for plant growth, which are removed by crops or leached out of the soil.The first element used in quantity in this country was phosphoric acid usually in the form of superphosphate.So much so t l at people commonly speak of applying phosphates when they often mean a complete fertilizer and sometimes even a fertilizer that does not contain any phosphoric arid at all.The three principal fertilizer elements are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.The percentage of each element is designated on the hag or tag in the order named.Thus, a 2-.12-6 fertilizer contains nitrogen, 12ri phosphoric acid an.* (VT potash.A fertilizer containing those three elements is called a complete fertilizer.Besides these three, there arc a number of elements, such as copper, boron, sulphur, manganese, etc.Because plants use these latter elements in very small quantities, they are known as minor elements.Where needed they are applied in rather small amounts.Farm manure is deficient in phosphoric acid and, therefore, this is the element that is often lacking in farm soil.The growth of plants is governed by the element which is present in the soil in minimum amount.Therefore, if phosphoric acid is the limiting factor, the addition of nitrogen and potash will not have the desired effect.This point is very clearly illustrate?! by an experiment which has been in progress for the past ten years, at the Dominion Experimental Station, l.ennoxville, Que.This experiment is conducted on sandy loam soil that is deficient in potash.-\u2014^ Fairly heavy application of nitrogen and phosphoric acid did not give a-good results as a smaller app.ication of fertilizer containing potash.An application of 150 pounds nitrate of soda and 400 pounds superphosphate on the average for ten years has produced a yield of only 33.1 bushels of eats per acre.The addition ot 100 pounds of muriate of potash has increased the yield to 47.9 bushels per acre.The old saying \u201ca chain is only ns strong as its weakest link\u201d certainly is true of fertilizers.General recommendations as to the fertilizer to use are based on the crop and the type of soil.All crops use phosphorus and ns this is the element most often lacking in soils, it forms the basis for fertilizer work.Clay soils usually have an abundance of potash, while light, soils are deficient.Nitrogen is abundant in soils well-supplied with organic matter.All these elements may be in such a form in the soil that they are not readily available for use by the plant.Thus an application of these elements in a form that can be easily assimilated by the plant gives the crop a good start in the spring.General recommendations of the Provincial Fertilizer Board for gram are: 250 to 500 pounds 0f 20r, superphosphate per acre on heavy clay soils; 300 to 600 pounds of 2-12-6 or 2-16-6 per acre on loam soils: SOO to 600 pounds of 2-12-10 per acre on light soils.Plan to use fertilizers and increase the yield per acre!
