Rum! Warns Business Leaders Against Dangers Of Regimentation.

By E. A. EVANS Times Special Writer BOSTON, Oct. 19 (U. P.).—~More than 700 merchants and industrialists are giving impressive evidence) here of keen interest in planning for high production and high employment after the war. They make up by far the largest attracted to the

in its’ 15 years. Thirty-four states are represented, and 40 of the visitors came from the Pacific coast to hear national business leaders, government economists, and others discuss postwar prospects and prob-| lems. “Elimination of mass unemploy-| ment is the first requisite,” the con- | ference was told by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the New York federal reserve bank and author of the pay-as-you-go income tax system, “Planning to reach that objective is the antidote to regimentation—the thing that will make regimentation unnecessary. And planning, if kept free of wishful thinking and special-interest ax grinding, will add purpose and drive to our present efforts and so will help to win the war sooner.”

They Need Help

But, Mr. Ruml added, business and industry cannot hope to do the job alone. “They will need co-operation from government at every level, federal, state, and local,” he said. “And government must equip itself better if it. is. to co-operate adequately in even the most elementary post-war domestic program, “At present, federal functions are scattered among many agencies whose activities often conflict. There is great need for more coordination and singleness of purpose in budgetary, tax and other policies. There are innumerable conflicts between federal and state

done ‘toward ending them. - : “Congress has not prepared itself to deal effectively with complex modern problems. It needs less clumsy and more effective rules and procedures, and mor- adequate} technical and information-gather-ing services.” : Urges Careful Plan Mr, Ruml advocated “compensa. tory” federal fiscal policies, meaning, he explained, not perpetual deficits and not government spending for the sake of spending, but adjustment to the ups and downs of business, It would be wiser, he said, to reCuce taxes after the war than to try to balance the budget by collect ing money that might better be left at home to buy the products of industry and agriculture—“money that the government would have to pump right oat again in an attempt to stop another depression.” ) He warned against expecting public works to support high employment. But useful government projects, he said, can be planned and undertaken to maintain a reasonably balanced level in the construction industry, starting up

and vice versa, Thus assured of fairly continuous operation, he thought, the industry and the building ‘trades unions could be induced to get rid of many of their re strictive practices.

~ Bir Gerald B. Campbell, British minister to the United States, told the confefence that “Britain hopes to return vigorously to the prosecution of her export trade after the war.” He added: - ’ “Each country must realize that, if it is to sell its own products abroad, it must, in the long run, to accept an equal value services produced by

Guerrillas Fight On

Little Nation Grimly Buries Its Dead, Goes on Fighting.

By JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 19.—Five hundred persons a day are dying of starvation in Greece, but the gallant little nation grimly buries its dead and fights on against Adolf Hitler, Qut of a population of 8,000,000, an-estimated 880,000 persons already {are dead, either from starvation or Reliable reports say

But in the hills and mountains of Greece $0,000 guerriita patriots fight on, keeping 12 to 16 German divisions busy. and paving the way for an allied invasion. This picture of Greece today came from persons getting information from inside the pillaged land as regularly as the morning mail. It was supplemented by witness ace counts from Greeks who _ have escaped and reached London. It is a picture of a land of the dead and dying but a land where Hitler cannot stamp out the burn-| ing desire for freedom, Food reserves long since have been exhausted, plundered by the Germans. Officials believe this coming winter may be the worst ever for Greece with food supplies 150,000 tons short of last winter, A Greek friend of mine said the tragedy of Greece is not so much the dead whose bodies are picked up every morning as the death reflected in the faces of those dragdestined to open the road for |ging starved bodies through the Russia's diplomatic arguments. | |g eets. : Well informed Geneva circles’ today go so far as to predict that the first result of the Moscow conference will be a tripartite declaration, confirming the allies’ intention to prosecute the war until final victory, to liberate occupled countries and to reconstruct Europe. . 5 Other competent . observers in this neutral spot are convinced. that the Soviet Union's territorial ambitions have been vastly exaggerated by the press of the Nazis and their satellite states, These circles believe Russia will ask for the maintenance of the Curzon line, fixed by the Ver sailles treaty, and not the 1041 Polish border, : ® ® » GERMAN BSOURCES are -noticeably silent today. After having filled Europe's newspapers with direct and indirect propaganda and taken every opportunity af forded by the latest allied press discussions, Goebbels’ henchmen seem to feel this is the moment to sit back and await news from Moscow, L As for the Balkan satellites and Finland, anxiety as to the result of the conference is plainly written on the faces of their nationals here, The Poles are the most deeply affected. To. them the conference appears as a question of national life or death. As one prominent Pole put it bluntly: “We are living in the same atmosphere as were the Czechs during the weeks preceding Munich.” pe :

heavily played up, in both the Nazi and neutral press. Nazl propaganda has done its utmost to dampen hopes in the conference which must endeavor to reconcile Russia's conception of its western frontiers with the Atlantic charter’s promised guarantee of independence to the little states. » Nd » TODAY, HOWEVER, the wind has veered round. Even the Swiss press, always suspicious of Communism, concedes that the Pravda article may not. constitute Russia's last word and compares it to artillery preparation,

All horses, cats and dogs have been eaten, The Greek government in exile has tried to alleviate the situation, sending food for free meals and soup kitchens for about 150,000 persons, . British Lift Blockade

The British lifted a blockade to allow shipment of 8000 tons of wheat. Several shipments have gone through since mid-1042 but not enough to halt the starvation. But two-thirds of the population has not tasted meat or fish since the occupation; now there is no meat or fish for any Greek. The Germans have prohibited fishing except near the coast where the catch is small. What fish are caught are confiscated. The guerrilla fighters live on a diet of goat's milk, cheese, dried fruit and olives. A . Lil&!? Hur*?&
