The Work Projects Administration
said today 1t expected to find Jobs
for many Of the 10000 World War

in the law creating the agency,
Congress stipulated that veterans
be given preference in employment.

however, as Congress recently cut
its appropriation by two thirds and
wA now is in the process of trim
ming its rolls from TOO 900 to 400, 900.
CCC began liquidation three weeks

Allies Must Regulate
Raw Materials After
War, Cripps Says
Economic Welfare Held
Major Problem; U. S.
Views Are Praised
Es the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.-Sir Stafford
Cripps, lord privy seal, told British
scientists today the United Nations
must at the end of the war under
take international regulation Of the
production and distribution Of the
essential raw materials"
I'VE must turn our machinery of
economic warfare into one of eco
nomic welfare" Mr.. Cripps said in
an address to the British Association
for the Advancement of Science.
Quoting passages from addresses
of President Roosevelt, Secretary OF
State Hull and other United States
officials and Foreign Minister An
thony Eden, Mr.. Cripps added his
own views to the diagram for a post
war world.
Charter Clause Discussed.
The meeting which Mr.. Cripps ad-
dressed was discussing the clause OF
the Atlantic Charter guaranteeing
all nations free access to the worlds
raw materials.
Referring especially to Mr.. Roose-
velt's speeches, Mr.. Cripps said, 1T
Is encouraging to realize there Is
such body of leaders in America
with whom we shall willingly CO.
operate along paths which they in.
dicate"
If we were to drop back into the
old competitive struggle between
nations or between corporations ir
the attempt to win national monop-
ohes Of world resources then nc
planning could succeed" Mr.. Grips
declared.
Cooperation Pointed Out.
I'VE have today reached a degree
Of cooperation between United
Nations in the use of raw material
resources and employment of fin
iahed products greater than has ever
been reached before in the history
Of the world"
Observing that selfish and ma
tional interests" thus have beer
overridden, Mr.. Cripps argued that
the same cooperation and CO.
ordination are no less vital to peace
time civilization.
He said that while Britain's first
duty Is to its own people. techno-
logical efficiency now provides
enough OF the worlds goods for all
people, and neither we nor any
other nation must attempt to erect
ourselves, as Hitler is striving tc
do with Germany, into a privileged
people living upon the labor and
efforts of others.
1T is against this conception
that we are fighting today"
