gramme OF economic reconstruction
after the war is urged in a report of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce made public to-day. The re
rort is the first of series TO be issued
by the Federal government to inform
American producers Of the plans under
consideration by other countries for fu-
turc foreign trade development
"The outstanding fact under obser-
vation," the report states, dis the rec
ognition in every land and by all state
men of the problem called economic
reconstruction But OF more immedi-
ate importance is the fact that Eng
lard, France, Italy, Germany and Aus
tria are making preparations to resume
their peaceful economic life, with I'M
proved facilities for foreign trade, with
a national supervision of the use of ma
tional resources for the benefit Of their
own citizens and With assistance from
the state"
The report calls attention to the
achievements of this country In pre-
pairing for after-war conditions. citing
the building and organization of a huge
merchant marine, backed by large and
Efficient shipyards and docks as a big
step preparatory to the demands Of the
future. The Webb Pomerene export
trade act, authorizing exporters to COM
hine for export trade. and the leeway
in foreign banking now possessed by
the Federal Reserve Beard and banking
system also are mentioned as achieve

"fn England says Mr.. Cutler. chief
of the bureau, in his introduction,
Judging from present comments on
the work of the Committee on CONNER
cial and Industrial Policy After the
War, any present attempt to lay down
complete and binding policies regarding
the future is now recognized as waste
of effort
"What is mere important is the as
sembling of facts, taking the basic step
to improve our educational. research
and promotive organizations, and con-
tributinc to clear thinking as to the
questions involved. Sooner or later VIC
must have definite programme in
which work and plans for the future,
based on known conditions affecting
our future, may be coordinated. l per-
sonally feel that the time is now ripe
for some more centralized, concerted
work to that end"
