1000 Auto Officials
To Tour Detroit Plants
BY the Associated Press,


DETROIT, July 6.-Production
techniques developed by the Ma
tions automobile industry in it's all
out war effort will be displayed and
demonstrated next Friday for the
benefit of former competitors among
the automotive manufacturers.
More than 1000 leading officials
of the industry are expected in the
Nations motor capital to take part
in tours of the war plants in the
Detroit and Pontiac areas, the first
annual meeting of the Automotive
Council for War Production and a
dinner in the evening at which DON
aid M. Nelson, chief of the War
Production Board, will be principal
speaker.
Announcing the plans for the
thousands of industry executives
and production engineers to inspect
factories making war products SIM
liar to their own, Alvan MacauIey,
president of the Council for War
Production said:
THE industry has pledged not
only cooperative spirit in the
common task of winning the battle
of production, but also complete
interchange of mass production in
formation, time-saving techniques,
production improvements, tooling
short cuts and developments which
individual automotive concerns have
effected"

Allies Cooperation
Now Seen Mo|ding
Postwar Unity
World Super-Government
Held Likely Result of
Ties Being Formed

Wartime cooperation among the
United Nations appears to be forg-
ing the links of a workable union
that may develop into a super
government of the world. according
to a Foreign Policy Association re-
port published today.
Noting tendencies that may have
revolutionary consequences" the re-
port asserted that Allied collabora-
ton "is now so intimate and affects
so many aspects of political and eco
nomic life that sudden snap-back
to pre-war conditions of relative
autonomy would be well-nigh i'm
possible"
The ways and modes of living of
the United Nations ARE being so
drastically revamped and made so
mutually dependent through the
activities of numerous joint boards
and personal contacts of govern
ment leaders, the report added,
that the wartime ties could not be
severed without a general collapse"
Postwar Setup Visualized.
The report, analyzing the work
and import of the machinery de-
veloped for collaboration in the war
effort by the United Nations, was
prepared by Payson S. Wild, jr, as
sociate professor of government at
Harvard University and a member
OF the staff of the Naval War College
at Newport, r. I.
Declaring that "the shape of
things to come can be discerned" in
the Allied arrangements already
made, he said cit is not impossible
that postwar organization will be
the product not of one embracing
covenant or constitution, but of ex-
perience in time of war, during
which great variety of interna-
tional agencies has come into being"
He referred specifically to the
Pacific War Council, the Combined
Chiefs of Staff and joint board de-
veloped to handle production, food,
raw materials and shipping prob
lens.
"Out OF the links now connecting
the United Nations the report went
on, may be forged firm bonds for
permanent collaboration. The Pa
cific War Council and other forms
of consultation between political
leaders of the United Nations might
be = utilized as the basis for
some sort of permanent world or
ganization.
Global Problems Involved.
Regional unions or federations
may develop, but global problems,
such as that of security, will have
to be talked out and settled some
where. In practice, combination
OF both regional and worldwide pat
terms of international government
seems to be in the making. -"
Although the United Nations
have not surrendered their sover-
eighty in any sweeping or precedent
shattering form, the watertight !
compartments separating state from
state are being broken through by
slow process of administrative seep-
age.
The various economies and polit-
ical units are less and less sharply |
divided. II this process goes on long
enough, we may find that we have |
already achieved workable union
and can avoid bitter wrangling about |
forms OF international government
dreamed of but not yet born"
Aside from possible political unity |

Drive Against Axis
Assets Starts in
Central America
Commerce Department
Reports EI Salvador
Tokine Lead
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department said
In a statement today Axis property
and assets are beginning to be sold
in Central America to Central
Americans
The statement said Ell Salvador
had taken the lead in establishing
such policy. The department said
this contrasted with the First World
War when Latin America generally
permitted Germany and her allies
to pick up where they left off,"
after hostilities.
"One of the liabilities which the
hemisphere has faced during the
period when the Axis was preparing
for actual warfare" the department
said, has been the network of Axis
owned commercial and industrial
organizations, the great strength of
which was due primarily to the fact
that they had been allowed to con-
tinue through the last war and
provide the nucleus for further
growth and both economic and
political power"
Under the Ell Salvador plan. Axis
property will be sold, and only the
money received from such sales will
be held for the Axis owners. From
these funds, however, the govern
ment may conflscate damages suf-
fered from U-boat or other Axis
attacks.
In the United States no policy on
such matters has been announced.
Tentatively enemy properties are
being taken over by Leo T. Crowley
alien property custodian, and placed
under American management, with
out regard to whether the properties
eventually will be sold or returned.

DETROIT, July 10.-An accumu-

fill all of the pipelines from the first
assembly line to the last fighting
outpost" was visualized today by
Robert R., Nathan, chairman of the
War Production Boards Planning
Commission, as essential before we
can be optimistic about the outcome
of this war" "s
Addressing executives of the auto
motive industry here for the first
annual meeting of the Automotive
Council for War Production, Nathan
said:
ITO date we have spent nearly
$40, 900 100000 for the war effort.
only part of which has reflected
finished fighting material. Only in
recent months have we seen sub
stantial flow of tanks, artillery COM
bat planes, ammunition and other
weapons.
While we can be greatly en-
couraged over our accomplishments
to date, we must not entertain the
thought that the worst is past and
that we can coast from here on in.
Yes, the present levels of output are
| encouraging, but they must be
stepped up and stepped up rapidly
and they must be maintained at
high levels"
MacauIey Fears Shortages.
Alvan Macauley, president of the
council, told its members that the
automobile industry at war already
is operating in what might be
termed an industrial substrato-
p, sphere"
Asserting that the industry is
technically equipped to move into
even greater heights. Macauley said:
The real problems that will close
around us and imperil attainment
OF the utmost output are those OF
supply. This industry unquestion-
ably faces difficulties in finding the
necessary manpower Greater still
is the question of raw materials"
The council reported reservation
for approximately 1000 officials o
automotive companies Throughout
the country for the onesday meetin,
to discuss war production problem
and the progress made in the sever
months since Pearl Harbor. Earle
IN the day the QUITO town eXecu
tlveS were taken on tours of the wa
production plants in the Detroi
area. Tonight they were to hea
Donald M. Nelson, chief of the Wa
Production Board, as chief speake
at the councils annual dinner.

said the first step was to "thro'

operatively."
