affected by the war. Also there 10
the question Of claims for damage
to American property.
There are more than 100 people II
the state department alone who are
now working On postwar plans. One
OF the most important phases Of this
work Is the reopening Of trade with
the war areas as well as the rest Of
the world. OF course. the terms un.
der which the trade Is reopened may
depend on the Industrial possibilities
OF the various areas; and how soon
the controls Of foreign exchange can
be dropped will depend. in q large
part, on the extent Of the U. S. and
other foreign holdings Of the obliga.
tons of the country in question. AL
this will affect III exporters here
as well as American interests In
foreign countries.
The treasury department. as you
know. has drawn up the White plan
for international sterilization: the
British government has the Keynes
plan.
None Of these projects, treasury
officials said to me, which vitality az
feet the postwar movements of trade
and capital, a be intelligibly
planned and certainly cannot be put
into effect without adequate knowl-
edge OF the value and type of United
States interests and the number and
character Of the persons having
those interests.
Many other important business
negotiations such as private loans
to foreign countries, direct invest
ments by American corporations,
furthering the good neighbor policy,
will be affected by the informa-
ton in the governments hands. For
instance. If the government can say
definitely that In a certain area there
is very little capital invested in a
certain type Of enterprise and it Is
known such an enterprise might be
enlarged there, the government
might be able to encourage COM
panies with foreign experience to
develop such an enterprise.

washington correspondents for the
press associations and some Of the
country's metropolitan dailies as
well a. the network broadcasters
lived OH needles and pins for more
than . day and 4 half before the
news Of the agreements reached at
Moscow were released.
There have been many bad leak.
ages in advance Of important inter.
national events recently. The state
department. the Office Of War In
formation and the Office Of Censor
ship have done their best to protect
american newspapers and radio
against these violations OF prenfa-
ture release Of important stories
involving foreign countries. The
leaks usually have come through
foreign officials who whisper a
few hints to sone of their news
men friends. They also sometimes
occur when news dispatches, radioed
in advance for later release, are
picked up by the enemy or are di.
vulged in neutral countries.
Every effort was made to prevent
such leaks in connection with the
Moscow conference. The question
of safety OF the lives of British and
American ~negotiators was involved.
1t was feared that If the fact that
the conference was over was pub
licly revealed, the enemy might be
on the watch TO shoot down the
planes carrying Secretary Of State
Hull and British Foreign Minister
Eden and their parties.
Some Of us who were affected,
learned or the Saturday before the
Monday OF their official release that
copies Of the agreements had
reached the state department earli-
er. We had guessed as much since
the President commented on the
o0NNCSo Va ilS dBl StiIicilt Tie Qdy
before In his press and radio con.
ference. We were told we would
receive copies as far in advance as
possible which meant that someone
representing the various news agen-
cies and networks had to be on duty
day and night. Finally, the word
came Monday morning that the mes
sages we're available and they were
given out at ten o'clock for release
at one o'clock. We, therefore, had
three hours in which to digest the
five separate documents.
Fortunately for me, the n
o'clock release made 1t possible for
me to report the story a minute and
10 seconds after it was given out on
my one o'clock network broadcast.
