PRISONER OF WAR
LABOR PROFITS
Prisoner of war labor utilized in
California under private agricultural labor contracts during. .a—-six
months period whieh ended‘: January
31, returned a $906,417 profit to the
government, Major General William
E. Shodd, commanding general of the
Ninth Service Command, declared today at Fort Douglas, Utah.
During that period 290,010 mandays of prisoner of war labor were
performed under agricultural contracts by personnel interned at four
base and 15 branch PW camps in the
state.
General Shedd stated that prisoner of war labor assisted materially
in harvesting San Joaquin valley’s
cotton crop and also benefited vegetable and fruit growers in other areas
where critical labor shortages existed.
Prisoners are employed only «in
‘areas where free civilian labor is
unavailable, General Shedd emphasized.
In addition to hoe performed hy
prisoners in agricultural work, California military installations, where
prisoners are utilized in essential
work in shops, laundries and on the
grounds, benefited by 833,259 mandays of such labor. :
The profit realized through the
employment of prisoners in California represents the difference between the-80 cents-per day each
working prisoner received in. canteen
coupons and the per day cash wage
which would have been paid civilian
workers for identical tasks.
A total of $2,416,510 was paid the
treasury department by private contractors for prisoner of war labor
performed—in——aericultural—fields
within the Ninth Service’ Command
during, the-six month. period.
In-order' to make sich 12 or available in:man power : shortage areas
without subsidizing the private contractor, the war department requires
contractors to pay the treasury dgirtment the same wage rate per uit
of work completed by prisoners that
would have been paid to free civiljan workers for the same unit of
work.

Immediately after Pearl Harbor,
the Coast Guard darkened many light
houses onthe .West Coast as a security measure. Some light houses
were so difficult to reach that they
had to be extinguished by gunfire
from Coast Guard vessels.
The Serbs, Croats and Slovenes,
who ‘make up the (present Yugo-Slavia, are’ all closely related Slavic
peoples.
Iraq, or Mesopotamia has been believed ‘by some biblical writers to
have been the site of the Garden of
