Future Of Finance
cNew York Times)

(New York Times
 It is a notable fact that in the midst of war, when Government is intervening more and more in cur economic life there is growing confidence in the future of private enterprise in this country The truly extraordinary job that industry has done in war production the exemplay fashion in which IT. nance has subordinated itself to the requirements Of the national effort and the obvious need for genuine cooperation between Go7ernment and business have all combined to sweep away some of the doubts which, even few months ago jed pessimsts to declare that the falling stock market was dscounting the end of capitalism"
 This changing viewpoint was well illustrated in the exchange of views between representatives of the stock exchanges and of the Securities and Exchange Commission which took place in Philadelphia at the quarterly meeting of the governors of the Association of Stock Exchange Firms. Emil Schram, president of the New York Stock Exchange, predicting an inevit- able revival of our private capital markets" bespoke continuation of fair-minded and friendly coopera- ton between the financial community and SEC. Gan son Purcell chairman of SEC responded in like spirit by proposing that the Commission and the stock exchanges institute program of active collab- oration for maintaining sound national economy during and after the war
 Mir Purces speech was in refreshing contrast to the peevish utterances of some of his predecessors In it he recognized joint responsibility of Gov ernment and finance. Putting aside the marrow view of SEC as a mere policeman of the markets, he as- serted that Government mas US OpllSdlioIo uo welfare of private commerce and industry. All this evokes the hope that Government regulation of the financial markets has finally come of age. Undoubt- edy there greater wisdom today on the side both of SEC and of the financial community than could be hoped for few years ago, The whole tone ot the Philadelphia meeting suggests that This IS highly encouraging prospect. The healthy function ing of the security markets is essential to the flow of capital upon which economic progress depends. Friendly collaboration between SEC and the stock exchanges to that end can be of incalculabe value in assuring the future of private finance.

REVISED CENSOR CODE

revised copy of the press censorship code has been issued to newspapers by the Office of Censor ship and is to be tucked away far Alaska news papers are concerned We believe that the Office of Censorship has done fine job in setting up rules to follow, but obvious usclessness of such code when the military make it's rules the matter is ap- parent
 One of the new restrictions of the revised regu- latons forbids the premature disclosure of diplo- matic negotiations conversations We in favor of this rule only when to disclose such negotiations is to give vital information to the enemy. But we expect that this regulation will be abused
 Weather regulations in the new rules also are relaxed to permit publication of weather news for an entire state and for 150 miles in any direction from the city of publication regardless of state lines It also permits publication of the effect of weather conditions sports events when used to describe condition of the grounds or for postpon- ing scheduled events
 Thus reference could be made to muddy field v "wet grounds game called because of weather. " Previously games just called" Of course the Japs aren't enough to figure out that the game called because of rain

reorganization of WIPE has run in- to White House trouble.
 The President does not like Nell sons plan, under which major phases of the civilian war produc ton organization would be turned over to the control of Army brass hats.
 The power hungry military ty- coons have been wanting to get their hands on key WIPE divisions for a lorg time. Until recently, Nelson has straight-armed these en- croachments and Roosevelt has backed him up 100 percent. But under tho very hush-hilsh reorgani- zation plali Nelson has submitted to the White House, he proposes to hand the army on silver platter laree chunk of his administrative power According to WIPE insiders this is Nelson's : scheme: The all-important Production. and Purchases Division of WIPE to be transferred to the Army. II. return, the Army-Navy ] Munitions Board. a secondary agen- cy which handles prioritles relating to munitions, would become a WIPE bureau The present head of the Boaro, Ferdinand Eberstadt, would be named Deputy Chairman of WPB--that is, second man to Nell son.
 Eberstadt is a former Wall Street bank q add his elevation would still furthec increase $1-a-year man rule in Wi'B, despite the caustic de- nuncidtior. of such rule by the Tru- man committee.
 Inside word is that the Presi- dent is very critical of Nelson's plan, on the ground that it would give too much authority to tht military over matters he feels should be Kept in the hands of civilian administrators. He is credited witt the view that production is a civ. llian responsibility and should no be turned over to military manage. ment.

 Here is another forward step of naval efficiency in it's application of humanitarian effort: Delivery of blood plasma by Navy plane within slightly more than an hour after it requested for the relief of 56 survivors of vessel torpedoed off the Washing ton coast at Port Angeles is praised by Rear Admiral c. S. Freeman, U S. Navy, commandant of the Thirteenth Naval District. The cooperation Of the American Red Cross and the Seattle City Police De- partuent with the Navy the commandant stated, "in carrying a requested consignment of blood pasma to assist in treating in ured men who survived the sinking of a merchant vessel off the Washington coast was a splendid example of what can be ex- pected in the event of future emergencies on this coast
 The fact that, in the end, no plasma was re- oured by the medical authorities does not in the least etract from the cooperative achievement of the var ous interested agencies This is proof that donors Of blood to the plasma hanks throughout the nation have not given in vain The request received from Port Angeles by the Red Cross clinic in Seattle was filled at once from plasma supplies located here by the National Red Cross Containers were carried across the city to the Sand Point Naval Air Station by officers of the Seattle city police and were placed aboard a waiting Navy plane, which completed the ferrying assignment to Port Angeles.

More stringent safeguarding against machination of European aliens will be advocated by certain legislators. Astrologers forecast an act of serious results 1 in losses ot life and property due to enemies within the nation. The 1 seers emphasize the cunning and resourcpfulness of Axis agents who i will mui.lply this month. l INTERNATIONAL A F FAIR R s :: Canadq and South Africa are un- der aspects that are most promising i for the future when they will em- eree from war, strengthened and in depelGent. It is prophesied that 1 the biitisr people will turn to Can ada with an access of faith in its 1 future.

A two and half months freeze, duplic ting the Navy's experiment, would elimin- ate more than 100000 salaries, at the same time probably raise eff ciency and cut red tape.

Personal Canvass
In Navy Relief Drive
To Begin Saturday
$45,00 Needed to Fill
District Campaigns
Quote Of $4,000

The Washington Citizers' Com
mittee for Navy Relief yesterday
emphasized the importance Of per-
sonal contributions toward its quota
Of $4,000, as 1t looked ahead to its
deadline for personal solicitations
Saturday afternoon.
The local Navy Relief Fund still
Is S45, 900 short of its goal and needs
the cooperation of civic-minded
citizens of Washington and vicinity
In order to put it over 100 per cent.
Although Government and busi-
ness groups are just getting their
drives into swing, Campaign Chair
man George A. Garrett announced
that the cooperation of individuals
prior to Saturdays deadline will,
more than anything else, make this
campaign successful one.
The deadline for personal solicita-
tions originally was set for yester-
day, but unavoidable delay which
resulted in opening the drive on
March 20 instead OF March 16 as
originally planned, resulted in an
extension of one week. The business
and Government groups will con-
tinue functioning until their terri
tories have been covered.
I'VE feel that every man, woman
and child in the District. as we'll as
those in suburban and nearby
points, should take a personal pride
in making the National Capitals
Navy Relief drive a monumental
success" Mr.. Garrett said yesterday.
IT feel that in the week ahead much
can be accomplished.
THE protection and security OF
many naval heroes from this area
rests with the persons and friends
they left behind. I don't feel that
we shall disappoint these boys-nor
their loved ones"
