British Aid Costs
Continue to Rise

The determination of President
Roosevelt to defeat Hitler, at what
ever cost, has never changed. This
has been pointed out in these dis
patches since September, 1889.
There has never been the slightest
reason for any backtracking on this.
1t is true that the measure of "cost"
involved has changed tremendously,
always upward. For example in
the fall of 1899 all that the Presi-
dent-and indeed the military ex-
perts-thought would be necessary
would be to amend the neutrality act
so that, if the war stretched out
into years, the United States could
become Britain's arsenal.
1t is interesting to note how this
picture has changed, always with
the effect of increasing the cost"
Early in the war the Germans
had more success in hitting the Brit
ish fleet than had been anticipated.
When Britain lost SO many destroy
ers, President Roosevelt met the
first "ante" in the cost" In the
spring Of 1910 he transferred the SO
average destroyers to the British.
With the over-running OF the low
countries, and Norway, the cost"
increased enormously. As the ter
rife expense to which the British
were put gradually cut down their
available cash, the lease-lend bill
boosted it further.
The next step, OF course, Is con-
voys. That is coming as surely as
the necessity for giving the British
the destroyers developed
But the final element Of "cost" is
men, and that is coming too. 1t
may be that they will be landed at
Dakar. It may be, ii the threat to
Suex becomes more imminent, they
will fight in that region.

WASHINGTON. = United States
imports from the South American
countries have zoomed as a result of
the war. SO that many of them now
actually have favorable balances of
trade against Uncle Sam.
The Importance of this IS tremen-
dous. because the chief difficulty of
expanding inter-American trade has
always been that South America
wanted to buy lots Of our products.
especially automobiles, refrigerators
and other manufactured goods, but
found it very difficult to sell us any
thing. We not only produced SO
many competitive articles, which
aroused clamor for tariff protection
by our producers, but there is the
little episode of the pure food regu-
lation, which not only kept out Ar
gentine meat but gave II black eye
before the world.
As evidence of the recent squirt we
bought from Argentina, in the first
quarter of l94l, a total OF SIS, 5l2 600
worth of goods. Yet in the whole
year 1910. though the war was in
progress during that entire year, VIZ
bought only $83 .30l 900.
From Uruguay in the first quar-
ter of 1871 we bought SIG. 797 900
worth of goods. In the whole year
1910 we bought only SIT .629, 900.
That's Only half the picture Of the
improved financial position OF the
South American countries as re-
suit OF the war, II we take only
trade with the United States into
consideration.
In the first quarter OF l941 we
sold Argentina sl6.923 900 worth Of
goods. This was big drop, as in
the full year 1910 we sold her $780,,
BIT 900 With Uruguay we about held
our own, selling her 81. 998, 600 in the
first quarter of l94l, as against SILL
275, 900 in the full year OF 1910. The
reason for the drop in our exports
to Argentina was the rigid Argentine
exchange and import control in the
early months of l94l.
EXPECT TRADE AGREEMENT
With this improved situation, from
the South American standpoint, the
door is now open to real trade
agreement with these two countries,
/ and one is now expected very short
ly.
The administration is very anxious
to take advantage of the present
war-given opportunity Congress has
voted virtually all the money wanted
] by Jesse Jones, in his capacity as
/ the greatest lender of all time, for
the purpose of making sure that the
| United States buys all the exports
that Latin America wants to sell.
Part OF the object is military, part
| OF it is looking forward to trade
war after armed conflict ceases.
Strained as she is, Japan is send
ing a ship loaded with all sorts Of
i sample products to South America
right now. Germany is ready to re
sumo her old barter program with
our Southern neighbors, and has
done her best to keep her connec.
tons despite the blockade.
Leaving out the huge German ra'
cial groups in the South American
countries. most Of the people would
rather trade with the United States
The governments, especially, founc
that the barter system did not work
as much to their advantage as hac
at first appeared.
Uncle Sam now hopes for an ere
of good feeling toward him from the
Rio Grande to Cape Horn.

Following are virtually verbatim
the essentials of the report which
formed the basis of opposition by
the Federation to a change-over to
the total use of natural gas in the
District at the present time. The
report was read by Chairman Milo
Brinkley of the Public Utilities
Committee:
According to the Fisher report
so per cent of gas by volume in the
District is manufactured, but rs per
cent of the heat units come from
natural gas. Manufactured gas has
800 btu of heating value and nat
ural gas has 1,171 btu. Since a
larger use of gas by reduction of
rates would increase the use of gas
in house heating and other uses of
gas would not materially increase
through lower rates, Fisher recon-
mends that initially at least the
full reduction in rates through use
Of natural gas be applied only to
house heating.
Fisher, the expert who studied the
problem for the Public Utilities
Commission. recommends:

the present emergency the above
period might be reduced.
3. There is only one gas pipe line
from the Kentucky fields which
crosses 72 mountains, passes under
10 rivers and 216 creeks. The line
might be subject to sabotage and
interruptions would endanger the
whole supply.
4. In an interruption of gas service
the company asserts that every ap-
pliance must be turned off before
service is resumed and air purged
from the distributing system to avoid
danger of fire and explosions. This
would take some time.
5. Orifices on all appliances would
have to be replaced at a cost of ST
or So each according to the company.
6. Changeover would have to be
made by districts.
7. The company states the added
costs would be as follows: Cost of
changing over appliances in the
District, $1,956 900; changeover of
distribution by sections. $77,500; ad-
ditional 20-inch pipe from Rockville,

Both bills have been introduced
by Representative Hunter of Ohio,
who will conduct the hearings. One

initially only to people heating
houses with gas. There are about
100000 consumers of gas in the
District of which $4,000 are do
mestic consumers of which only
$1,000, or about 20 per cent, heat
houses with gas.
8. The rates In the District to con-
sumers for uses of 80, 18 and 9

of natural gas are used.
10. The house heating load is only

II. Fisher proposes that the pres
ent manufacturing facilities be
changed to standby plant only,
but rebuilt to manufacture only high
btu. gas. The services of most of
the employees of the plant would be
terminated and payments would
have to be made to them for term

Consolidation
Will End Mixup,

George E. Dieffenbach, secretary
treasurer of the Chevy Chase ID. c.
Citizens Association and real estate
man, is so busy with civic affairs
that he says people frequently ask
him if he is still in business.
Although Mr.. Dieffenbach always
assures friends he is very much in
business. he admits his duties with
the association are difficult, with
records to keep for some 1000
members
MIR. Dieffenbach, who is chairman
of the Legislative Subcommittee of
the Recreation Division of the
Council of Social Agencies and
chairman of the Subcommittee on
Recreation of the Public Schools
Committee of the Board of Trade,
said yesterday that one of his main
interests in local affairs is to secure
passage of the bill introduced last
week in Congress to coordinate
recreation under a board of nine
members. The measure was intro
duced by Representative Hunter,
Democrat. of Ohio. bearing indorse-
ment of the Commissioners and the
Presidents Committee on Recrea-
ton.
Mr. Dieffenbach said he was op-
posed to the original bill introduced
by Mr.. Hunter, which would place
control of the recreational set-up in
an executive board of three men,
bers. He expressed the view that
consolidation of activities would
eliminate confusion" adding that
although grounds had been acquired
efficiently, development of recrea
tional facilities had Jagged behind
because of lack of appropriations"
Mr.. Dieffenbach is no stranger to
Capitol Hill, for one of his many
civic duties has been to appear be-
fore appropriation committees to
plead for funds for schools, addi-
tional teachers and recreational
facilities.
On the rare occasions when he
has spare time, Mr.. Dieffenbach can
usually be found any where between
North Carolina and New Jersey at
his favorite pastime of fishing. In
fact, he said, this is one reason he
has his own firm: $50 he can go

OF years recalled several instances
of charging the District appropria-
tions with expenses of certain
groups, most of these were for the
preservation of public order" and
called for police and fire protec-
ton and the like. This instance Of
the Confederate veterans is the first
where certain limitations on the
nature of expenditures have not
been included and as result the
District is paying for such things as
telephone charges, room and board,
etc.
Seen as Federal Obligation.
Officials pointed out that the old
Army veterans needed special atten-
ton, but, it was argued, the charges
were more properly against the
National Government than the Dis
trict.
Briefly, the story of this appro-
priation was an authorization that
the District be charged up to Sl2,500
with the expenses of the reunion
the charge to be made against any
District fund. The late auditor Dan
Donovan placed the charge against
the S177,500 District sponsors con-
tribution to w P. A. projects. The
bill ran up by the veterans amounted
to S1l ,633 and it developed that pay

blind. They have applied for per-
mission of the General Accounting
Office to make the transfer of the
charge. and, though no counter
warrant has yet been issued, the plan
has been informally approved.
Encampment Expense Shared.
In 1886, the District was charged
with half $4,000 appropriation to
protect public property and maintain
order during the 10th encampment
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic.
That same year an appropriation
of $4,000 was approved by joint
resolution for public order during
the convention of the Mystic Shrine.
