who had embraced Nazism.

New Unit 10 Be Set Up
To Expedite Flow Of
Exports 10 Americas
$4,000, 900 in Orders
Tied Up by Lieerse and
Priority Difficulties
By OLIVER MCKEE.

To expedite the shipment OF goods
to South and Central America, and
cut the red tape that has impeded
the flow of materials needed by the
American republics and other
nations. Brig, Gen. Russell
l.. Maxwell, export control admin
istrator, has established an export
clearance section in his organiza-
ton, it was disclosed yesterday.
According to estimates of Com
merce Department officials, approx
mately s50,O0O,00O worth of Latin
American orders have been either
frozen or sidetracked due to the
difficulties encountered by Amer
ican. manufacturers in obtaining
export licenses, and priorities for
materials needed in the production
of goods ordered by Latin American
countries. Creation of the new ma
chinery is expected to eliminate this
bottleneck, and make it possible for
Latin America to obtain. with a
minimum delay, materials needed
by its industries
To Strengthen Economic Defense.
The action taken by Gen. Max
well will strengthen the economic
defenses of the Western Hemi-
sphere, it was pointed out yester-
day. Nazi agents in South Amer
lea have cited the bottlenecks in
shipments from this country as evil
dence that the United States is un-
able to meet essential Latin Amer
ican requirements. Before the war,
the Axis supplied a large propor-
ton of these needs.
AS part Of the program to stream-
line clearance procedure, and ex-
pedite the granting of priorities,
committee on inter-American af-
fairs will be set up. The Depart-
ments of State, Commerce, Treas
ury and other agencies concerned
with economic defense measures will
be represented on this committee,
which is expected to meet every
week to consider Latin American
trade problems.
Difficult to Fill Orders.
Because defense contracts and
materials receive first priority,
many American companies are find-
ing 1t difficult to fill Latin American
orders, according to reports reach
ing the Commerce Department. The
international Harvester Co. is a
| good illustration in point. Before
/ this war, this company did a large
/ business in Latin America, chiefly
in the sale of agricultural machin-
| cry and instruments. It's annual
sales are estimated at approximately
s2O00O,000 A large part of its
Latin American market has been lost
because of its inability to obtain
the necessary priorities for the
manufacture Of equipment ordered
by Latin American customers.
Through long-term credits, an
other American company had built
up large market in South America
for a motion picture camera retail
ing at pproximately $500. Each
camera requires about $3.50 worth of
aluminium. The aluminium short
age, and the resulting priority bot
tleneck, have curtailed its sales in
the American republics. -.

THE only reason that full-dress,

TAXPAYERS PAY WAGE INCREASES

One of the favorite arguments of those who any
justification in defense strikes is this f company is
increasing its profits because of defense orders there
reason why labor shouldn't share in that increased profit
That is certainly the best offered for rapid
wage Increases but doesn't hold much water under the
present defense contract seup For when wages
creased above what they when defense contract
was made the government not the employer is billed
The contracts aren't simple that, but that is
what they amount to- Take the North American Aviation
company for instance in its contracts with the govern
ment that company has clause which provides that the
government will reimburse for wage increases which
not above average increase for the arpane in
dustry whole If wages for the arpane industry 60
to 20 percent and North Americans increases go
25 percent the company loses percent if their wages
go up 15 percent, the company gains percent and if
their up the average amount of 20 percent the
government takes of that increase.
The for such clauses in contracts is based on
the fact that such contracts made cost plus
what the government considers fair profit If the
pany had to stand the loss due to nceases would
not in the governments opinion make fair profit and
would probably suffer losses.
When wages raised in defense industries, it is
the taxpayer and not the employer who has to foot the
bill

MORE AND BETTER HOLIDAYS

Holidays of greatest national institutions.
The people of this country who spend the majority
of their waking hours working in Offices stores
and in the fields, look forward to holidays for weeks

Each year, most of us look the calender and
pleased if find lot of holidays falling on Fridays
or Mondays and disappointed if they fall otherwise.
So year after year many of grumble the un-
fotunate seup of the years calendar but accept
as being uncomfortable rain or wind or sunshine
But when really analyze it, there is little reason
why the calendar could not be changed.
With this purpose in mind The World Calendar as
socation supported by welknown people most every
country in the world has for years been working for cal
endar reform-a reform in which most holidays would
fall Monday and each monh-date would fall on the
same weekday every year.
Under the proposed World Calendar the first of
January would begin Sunday Christmas (st cele-
brated the 25th of December) would always fall on
Monday Easter would always be the fifteenth Sunday
in the year, which would always be April Thanksgiving
would always be Thursday, November %, and
igious holidays would all be changed to Mondays
