'"The immediate effect" he said, as
apt to be considerable disruption of usual
competitive relationships, insofar as they
exist, including substantial social losses"
Some officials have suggested that a
financing device, similar to that now used
by the Defense Plant Corp, be estab-
lished in the postwar era so that the
Government, if it did not desire to sell
plant, could make it available for pro-
duction on a long or short term lease,
or by private operation for the Govern
ment On management fee basis.
Should the Government find itself
after the war with a substantial volume
of manufacturing facilities on it's hands
with no buyers and no possible value
for future emergencies, there are some
postwar planners who believe careful
considera ,ion" should be given to their
sale abroad for reconstruction of war
destroyed industries or as stimulus
to the economic development of back
ward countries.
One official, who voiced this sugges-
ton. added, however:
1T is hardly necessary to observe the
opposition such a proposal is sure to
meet regardless of the prices set on the
facilities but 1t may be worth fighting
for in number of cases."

New Greek Home

The settlement of the first contingent
of 400 Greek refugees in the east of the
Belgian Congo is proceeding steadily.
These refugees have arrived in the dis
trict of Kibali-Ituri, where temporary
reception centers have been arranged
for them at Irumu, Bunia, Djuga, Ma
hagi and Luboa, pending the completion
of permanent camp at Bunia with &C
commodation for 900 refugees.
The Greek refugees are displaying a
fine spirit of discipline, and have formed
themselves into groups, with camp lead
ers, supervisors and cooks. Rules have
been drawn up in cooperation with the
Hellenic Committee of Bunia and the
Greek military doctor.
The health situation is excellent.
Much-needed clothing is arriving from
various sources for the refugees, a great
number OF whom are courageous mem
bers of the Greek forces who escaped
from German and Italian prisons.
The Greek government has UNDER
taken to pay the salaries of the doctors,
nurses and school teachers accompany
Ing the refugees, who are eager to find
work as soon as possible and thus take
their part In the war effort OF the Bel

regional distribution of manufacturing
from the standpoint of national defense
and local diversifcation."
On the other hand, some of those
concerned with postwar planning antici-
pate public clamor once the guns have
ceased firing, for the Government to get
rid of the plants at any price. Failure
to heed such clamor, say some, would
be called "socialistic."
Said one official concerned with the
problem:
"The Government will be accused on
the one hand of hanging a Damocles
sword over private investment every day
it keeps these facilities out of private
hands, and on the other depriving starv-
ing workers of employment and the
essentials of life by not releasing these
facilities for productive use at a cost
which would bring their products within
the reach Of all"
Such pressures from the public, he pre-
dicted, would augment pressure from
individual companies for sales at a level
lower than the "cost less depreciation"
formula. Some concede that carefully
calculated adjustments downward" in
price would be desirable in many cases,
but they cautioned against selling at
distress prices. BY such procedure, one
oficial said, the Government would in
effect be giving subsidies to a selected
I group Of producers fortunate enough
to acquire the plants at "cut-rate" prices.

field hands wait beside the bean peIds,
or catch a little extra sleep. Why? The
growers are so afraid the other growers
will get all that days labor that they
start the bidding at the crack of dawn.
At 2 pm. some labor begins to quit the
fields. They cash in their hamper slips,
get their cash, and start back to town.
But money is rolling in the Everglades.
It's common to hear of grower who's
gotten ST 900 an acre for cabbage.
heard of one man who's salted down
100000 since October. And of another
who was truck driver 10 years ago when
he turned grower. He now adds up his
chips to S750,000. And chuckled over a
third who asked a friend to sit with him
while he filled out his income tax check
for the year. 1t read $18,375-income
tax for raising vegetables
The workers side is no less fabulous
If they work. I was told of one family
with eight children Cthey all work. which
cashed in 500 worth of slips one day.
Another family with two children aver
aged $50 a day for many days running
the highest wages.
The rest of the field work seems to
pay an average of $3.50 a day: Cutting
cane, harvesting potatoes, cultivating,
hoeing. But even so, with a family of
four, that could mean $14 day, or $84
a week, if the family worked six days.
1t takes a gambler to farm in Florida.
And there are plenty of them-left over
from the wild days of the Florida land
boom, getting back those blue chips
they lost in the '20s
That is, if they gamble. I talked to one
man who was chuckling over his own bad
Judgment. He'd lost in the land boom.
So now he's being conservative. He
turned down friend this winter who
wanted to sell him half share in
cabbage crop for $1,000 The crop was
harvested. 1t paid $4,000. This man
would have made $4,000 on $1,000 in

In raid on Midway on December 8,
a 21-year-old artilleryman was struck
in the hip by shrapnel. After lengthy
stay in several hospitals he was dis
charged with a noticeable limp.
He went home, soured at the world.
All he had was his uniform; some one
had stolen his suit case at the railroad
station. He tried to find work, but wher-
ever he got start, the employer would
notice his limp getting worse from day
to day, and would decide the work was
too hard for him.
One day veterans representative
found out about the case-and got him a
job at a radio studio cutting phonograph
records. Now, he can either stand of
sit as he works =. no walking.
But the employment service is by no
means doing the whole job. In many
cases, there is great task of classical
ton and training before a man is
equipped even to apply for job.

Cards to be filled out as a basis of an
occupational record are sent to men

cure new position if his old one is no

those directed by the Veterans Admin
