The Day After.
It's all over now. Until next
year. Swell while 1t lasted.
And don't believe one kid or
one poor family was forgotten.
Kinda renews ones faith in his
fellows, doesn't it, when you
think back on how everybody raj.
lied round to make this Christ.
mas q real one for the unfor.
tunateS?. Radio Joe calls up and
tells me he's going to stage a
radio Christmas party tonight
over WMAL, but there'll be no
Christmas carols. Lots Of fun,
however. L understand AL Jolson
was so badly shot with 'lu at his
last broadcast his legs were wob-
bling visibly. But. like the good
trouper he is, he carried on.
Morton Downey, the lovable
1riSher, is going to give himself
a New Year gift. He's working
hard to lower his Silver.toned
tenor to baritone range.

|. TRADE BY BARTER
Exchange Restrictions Among
35 Nations One Cause of
C. of C. Action.

~ LONDON (P)-B3ck to barter-but
son giant scale-is the plan of the
sL9ndon Chamber of Commerce to re-
Tbuird British trade.
= Broken monetary systems. exchange
restrictions instituted by IS nations
sand increasing trade stagnation have
brought the chamber to advocate this
sreturn to yester-century simplicities.
Coming the word barteX" to de-
tscribe its plan. the chamber is backed
@by the Association Of British Chambers
.@of Commerce, the Federation of British
Industries and the National Union of
manufacturers. 1t proposes that the
government shall create barter clearing
houses and Immediately extend invita-
stions to all countries with exchange re-
sstrictionS to conference in London.
" The plan provides that such clearing
Nhouses should be set up in the United
Kingdom and in the countries with
(which business may be done. Checks,
vouchers or some similar documents
would be issued which would involve for
their liquidation the passage of goods.
x Risk of exchange huctu3tion would be
Nthe only risk involved. it is argued, and
gthe island position of Britain makes the
adoption of such a plan simple, as it is
necessary here to use shipping docu
-ments (bills of lading and so on) and
stheSe would be the instruments con-
trolling clearing houses.
= AS worked out by the chamber and
described by Sir Stanley Machin, the
Senior vice president, the plan would
work like this:
= Assuming legal sanction and agree
sments reached through the central
banks of each country, the internal
value of an external trade barter unit

within each, and negotiable only be-
~tween Britain and the specific country.

would be for the seller In, say, Den
mark, to draw on the English buyer for
the invoice value of goods in "barteX,"
Through his bank. The English buyer

would be payable in "bartex," thus
stimulating use of British shipping.
Existing frozen credits the Chamber
suggests, could under this system be
released at once, if the foreign govern
ments undertook to issue "bartex" 10
year guaranteed bonds, payable one
tenth, each year and covered by an
agreed excess of exports over imports
to such value.
I'VE are not suggesting" said Sir
Stanley, that these proposals are in
any sense perfect solution. But we
do suggest that half loaf is better
than no bread and that, pending a
complete reform of our monetary Sys-
TEN, both in its national and interna-
tional aspects, it is better to do some
trade on primitive barter basis than
to do no trade at all
The government has indicated that
barter clearing houses are not very
highly regarded in official quarters. but
some action may be obtained by the
powerful organizations supporting the
plan.
If sanctioned it could be put into
operation within week, Sir Stanley
said.
