The home was tastefully decorated
with a profusion of yellow chrysan-
themums and roses, many of which
were gifts from friends. A large
white cake, decorated with gold
roses and surrounded by tall yellow
tapers, adorned the dining room
table, where a buffet supper was
served.
Mrs. Davis sliced the cake in true
bridal fashion while Mrs. Myers
Hand and Mrs. Robert S. Leedy as

seen, for now pending in congress
into the states lap, to junk all
present agencies for a new federal
unit, and take politics out of relief.
Workers Alliance is primarily inter-
ested in the latter.
Chief puzzle facing West Vir-
ginia's Rep. Clifton Woodrum and
his relief subcommittee is whether
reliefers should or can be denied
the right to organize for a patiently
political purpose. Already on rec
ord are several disturbing facts.
Samples:
Cd Though David LASER denied
he is a Communist, most official
Washingtonians rate him distinctly
pinkish. Workers Alliance Secre-
tary-Treasurer Herman BENJAMIN
boasted to committeeman that he
has been Communist for 20 years.
also that he reported personally to
Moscow last year on the Alliances
activities.
CD Alliancers have threatened
and may some day exert pressure
on congress. When President
Roosevelt asked an $875, ,0OO, 900 de-
ficiency relief appropriation, the AL
lance asked 81 900, 900, 900. Congress
coughed up S725, 900, 900. When the
White House asked restoration of
the S150.O0O,0O0 cut, Mr.. LASER
turned on heat and threatened to
ballot all reliefers on protest march
to Washington.
Probable outcome will not be an
attempt to dissolve the Alliance,
but Fastening of back -the-states
legislation in the hope that individ-
ualized relief setups will give the
union less chance for unified ma.
tional front.

AUiatiOn

u. S. isolationists to the contrary,
each European dictator encroach-
ment apparently has its repercus-
sions on this side of the Atlantic.
Looking ahead, observers are now
sizing up the results-to-be of very
likely dictator coup, the unifcation
of Portugal with Spain through an
externally inspired revolution.
Two Portuguese landmarks, the
Azore islands and Lisbon, are vital
stopping points on the southern
route of Pan-American's transatlan-
tic air service which is scheduled
to start this spring. Over nearby
routes from Europe to South Amer
lea fly German and Italian lines
which would like a slice of lucrative
u. S.-to-Europe air business.
Since Spain's puppet Dictator
Francisco Franco would share Por-
tugaPs spoils with his two friends,
Germany and Italy, those two pa
tions would gain aviation rights at
Lisbon and the Azores, thereby hold
ing monopoly over south Atlantic
airlanes. Still open to u. S. boats
would be the northern route from
New York to Southampton, excellent
in summer but risky in winter.

Collateral Behind Notes
Is Guarantee of PAYMENT

1T is to be remembered that
goods for export go in larger guam
titles and that necessarily larger
sums of money are needed to han
die the transactions. In addition,
we have found that, in many in
stances, the buyers were what can
be termed as good credit risks, but
they were unable to make payments
of such large sums at one time.
Nor were the American manufac-
turers able to wait for three or four
or five years. To do so would ex-
haust their resources. That is where
we come into the picture.
Take a case like this: A South
American railroad company wanted
to buy some locomotives. Those
things cost money. They wanted
American engines. But they wanted
to pay the bill on an installment
basis. We agreed to take about
60 per cent of the notes. Com
mercial banks with which the man.
ufacturer was dealing agreed to
take over the remainder on short
term oasis"

who eventually began losing busi-
ness to newer, lower priced COM
panies. To recover business, bu-
reau firms have just effected new
low prices in 80 states, cutting 20
to Is per cent from rates charged
private motorists. Thus a down
ward price trend has been stimulat-
ed, which may eventually place Ii
ability rates at a point where state
legislatures can make this coverage
mandatory without suffering undue
criticism.

Solution of Unemployment
Is to Encourage Industry

What" I asked Mr.. Pierson, "is
the answer?"
His reply was quoted as the intro
ductory paragraph. He seemed
fully to recognize all of the difficult
ties confronting the United States
at the moment. Further. there was
every evidence that Mr.. Pierson is
one of the few officials of govern
ment who are aware that the solu-
ton to our unemployment problem
is to assist industry so that it can
re-employ workers. Unless indus
try can be encouraged, it appears
that the nation is going to continue
with 10000, 900 unemployed as it has
for the last few years. found it
refreshing, therefore, to hear Mr..
Pierson talk about how few dozen
large factories have been kept open
and with relatively full payrolls be-
cause the export-import bank was
able to help foreign buyers who
wanted American products but
could not pay cash for them.
For reasons that l will mention
subsequently, however, l had some
misgivings about the operations of
the export-import bank. doubted
that there would be repayment of
money advanced by the bank.
well, the default is thing that
happens to a greater or less extent
wherever credit is extended" Mr..
Pierson explained. IF there were
never any defaults, there would be
no risk attached to banking busi-
ness. But unfortunately, that ele-
ment must be taken into considera-
ton. The fact that there is credit
risk is why this export-import bank
was organized. Of course, there
were other reasons, but the instabil-
ity of some foreign governments,
the lack of exchange and such con-
ditions made it necessary for our
government to step in and help
those who are trying to export
American-made goods.

Export-Import Bank Stands
To Make Large Profit

And important also is the fact that
in the current year, barring un-
foreseen developments, the export
import bank stands to make profit
of something like $5,000,0 900. That
ought to be good news to taxpayers
during an era when spending money
is the first thing to which attention
is given. I believe that fact will i'm
press you as much as it impressed
me.
Mr.. Pierson told me that the bank
has made commitments, now out
standing, of slightly more than
S229, 10000 That is to say, the
bank has agreed to help finance ex-
ports to that extent, provided the
terms are met, and it must not be
overlooked that the bank is rather
hard boiled. Mr.. Pierson pointed
out that the export-import bank had
to be really as careful as any COM
mercial bank, but it can do some
thing the commercial banks cannot
dO-make lOnger-term loans. 1nOSe
are the loans represented in the
$229, 100000.
The figures showed that SGT 7,000,-
900 actually has been paid out
to borrowers in financing foreign
trade and, of this amount, repay
ments under the terms of the loans
have amounted to $38, ,000, 900. Which
is to say that of the loans outstand-
ing, well over half have been heui-
dated in orderly fashion.
That is the record to date, and
Mr.. Pierson repeated that dent
has been made with a compare live
ly small sum of money.

Restore Jobs by Helping in Sale
OfPrOducts of Farm and Factory
That Is Philosophy of Head of Export-Import Bank
Which Is Doing Good Work in Financing Trade With
S. America; Outstanding Commitments 229 Millions.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg. Washington D. c.

WASHINGTON.-'I am supreme
ly confident of one thing-we are
making dent in the job of getting
back some of our foreign trade
that was lost to other nations in the
last few years. Nobody can be sure
that we ever will get all of it back,
but l am hopeful because this little
institution of ours here is showing
that it can function safely and sat-
isfactorily."
That statement, perhaps, is the
best summary l can give Of the
philosophy of Warren Lee Pierson,
the president-and pretty largely
the heart and soul-of the export
import bank. Likewise, it rather de-
lineates the program of that little
known federal agency; because Mr..
Pierson is determined to see Amer
lean products, farm or factory, mov-
ing as of old into the hands of users
and consumers in foreign lands.
Moreover. to analyze the outlook of
the man is to reach a conclusion
that he believes the way to restore
people to jobs in this country is to
assist American farms and factories
in the sale of their products.
1t is curiously true that some of
the federal agencies which are doing
important work and doing it eff
ficiently are least known to the gen.
eral public They have no staff of
press agents; they seldom break
into print" yet they seem to be
serving all of the people well.
Department of commerce reports
have been showing how our exports
have declined through many
months. The records give one the
impression that the lines on the
chart, showing totals each month,
are in a race to see which one can
dive faster or deeper. l have won
dered where we were headed, as
nation of producers. Secretary
HulPs reciprocal trade treaties have
been getting exactly nowhere; and
have done so at enormous speed.
Secretary Wallace's ideas for sell
ing our farm products have proved
to be nothing but dreams and, like
dreams. they vanished the next
morning, except that perhaps the
next day Mr.. Wallace's publicity
staff announced another plan.
