been liquidated. . Before the war, Britain derived much income from investments abroad, from shipping, financing

7 Joretgn trade and from earnings of

insurance com-=-panies. Many of her investments have been sold to pay costs of war The U. 8, with its great warbuilt merchant marine, has ideas about using it in peacetime commerce instead of allowing it to rot away again, Some of the nations which were once good customers of Britain, such as Australia, New Zealand, India and in Latin-America, have speeded up their own’ industrialization and may not buy as much after the war. The U, 8. has developed a synthetic rubber industry; it remains to be seen what effect this will have on the natural rubber imports from Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. At any rate, there is another threat to Britain's export trade. A U. 8. commerce department official, Louis Domeratzky, says that other countries are in a bad way too, in regard to foreign trade after the war. The Swiss watch business is booming now and Switzerland will still have many products to sell but her tourist business, particularly from Europeans, will not do so well. France, says Mr, Domeratzky, has Jost some of her foreign investments like Britain Holland's foreign holdings, like rubber plantations and tin mines, have been damaged by the scorch-earth policy and there's no telling what the Japs will do to them. It does seem fairly clear that the U. S. will have to help rebuild devastated European cities. Lumbermen say we are shipping tremendous quantities of lumber to Europe now, and some to Asia, and that this probably will continue several years after the war ends. ‘. ” » . THE GOVERNMENT has made quite a bit of profit out of its War Damage Corp. Formed to insure those fearing bomb damage, something executives were not too sure about early in the war, the company has collected $243 million (as of Dec. 31, 1943) and paid out only $4572.

RED TAPE is keeping many war plants from getting paid promptly on cancelled contracts. The senate war contracts subcommittee says no more than 10 per cent of the money estimated to be owed has been paid. Many claims are still unpaid after a year. Moreover, materials released through contract termination have often lain in the same plant for months and months before removal. - . »

COMMUNICATION MERGER ON TAP

Navy Has Plan Ready for Senate Committee,

Redman Reveals.

WASHINGTON, March 27 (U.P.). —It ‘was learned today that the navy department, when requested by congress, is ready to present a plan calling for the merger of all American international communication services into a single privatelyowned system. Chairman James L. Fly of the federal communications commission also has expressed himself in favor of a unified system. Rear Admiral Joseph R. Redman, director of naval communications, confirmed the existence of the study. He told the United Press the navy is ready for its presentation whenever the senate interstate commerce committee, which is preparing to consider the matter, asks for: it. He emphasized that the navy is not seeking to ‘effectuate any proposed merger at this time to avoid upsetting the facilities now being used for war purposes. As a part of its military operations, the navy already is operating one of the most extensive international- communication systems of all time. Features Outlined

Ma jor features of its plan: 1. -Mandatory legislative unification of the various privately-owned U. 8. international communications firms into one newly created company. 2. A congressional charter, rath-

Job Informatio

For Vets Planned by Hines

n Centers

WASHINGTON, March 27 (U. P.).—Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines dis-

closed today that his retraining and employment administration soon will take the first step in the human demobilization program-—creation of a nation-wide system of information centers to advise returning

servicemen of their rights and how

er than a state charter, for the new corporation, so that congress could retain some measure of control over operations and policies. 3. War, navy and state department representation on the company's board of directors,

Originally Opposed

When international merger provisions were considered in conhnection with the domestic telegraph telegraph merger act in 1942, both the army and navy opposed them. This opposition was based on the belief that action of this sort could not be consummated during the war without adversely affecting essential military communications, But, with the benéfit of the ex-| perience gained and in view of the] progress of the war, the navy is un-

derstood to believe that discussion

and consideration of merger pro-| posals should proceed now so that] necessary arrangements can be con- | cluded swiftly with the end of the] War, Cites Monopolies This feeling is based on the be-

lief that foreign-owned or con-

trolled monopolies. have been able in the past to play elements in the divided American communications group against each other to the disadvantage of all American interests. To enter the post-war era under such conditions, it was felt, would place the United States under handicaps which could relegate it to a secondary position from a com-

{munications standpoint and sub-

stantially affect its international commerce. Adm. Redman said the navy “would prefer for the purpose of administration and control, to deal with a single communications system in time of war. Since other powers have unified communications agencies, which are either gov-ernment-owned or controlled, and which therefore give them definite advantages during peacetime as well as In war, there is a definite, urgent need for a single American communications organization devoted to American interests and with no foreign entanglements.”

back as army, navy or marine corps officers; what is to be done about the soldier who wants to follow a new craft for which he was trained by the army; to what extent will old skills be isolated by new techniques stimulated by war production; will returning soldiers be sufficiently skilled to handle the jobs to which they will be entitled under union contract’ seniority rights? Urges ‘Furlough’ “Those are just a few of the knotty ones,” Hines said. “But I want to stress that nothing must be done to destroy the initiative of the returning veterans — nothing must be put in his way of seeking and getting a better job than he had, if he wants it.” An important factor in the entire problem, Hines said, will be the speed with which demobilization is undertaken when hostilities end. He reiterated that he favored at least a six months furlough rather than outright discharge: for retw. ing veterans on the premise that it will take industry at least half a year to reconvert to civilian production. “I see no sense in dumping thousands of veterans on a community where industry is going through the transition period,” he said. “What

Denounces Cost-Plus- Fixed Fee Type as ‘Most Extravagant.’

Warren, often called .the watchdog of the treasury, believes that the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is “the most extravagant, the most vicious, most. damnable form of business imaginable.” “We should expect big figures for. war—but every dollar should show a dollar's worth in return and it doesn’t,” he said. Pointing to three framed documents on the wall of his office, he said: “When I signed this warrant here for $7,000,000,000 I thought that was something. Then along came this one for $47,000,000,000. Whew! I though surely that would be tops, then not long ago, after one week when I was away, I came back to find that my assistant had signed one fer $52,000,000,0000. “Millions here are like dimes down in North Carolina.” Warren said that the war profiteer is on the loose and he fears that there is going to be multiplicity of scandals growing out of war contracts. He sald war department contracting officers were showing no improvement in administration of contracts. “Of course, war_at best is waste,” he said. “But like the generals in the army who try to spare their men, so should the contracting officers make an effort to spare the public’s money.”
