Plans for Postwar World
Experts Grope Through Bewildering Maze
By James D.. White,
Assnciated Press Writer

~-1H00-NH>A ASSS
Postwar planners are steering straight
for the greatest problems of mankind.
These are the problems that have kept
the world in assorted messes since history
began, and Which-in the tempo of ma
chine civiliZation-have become so acute
in recent decades that two global wars
have resulted.
In Washington alone more than 100
experts are working among various Gov
ernment bureaus, graphing with the
headaches of postwar world. If they
have evolved specific world plans, these
have not been published-probably be-
cause any comprehensive plan must be
based on what the world is going to look
like when the war ends And of course
no man knows that.
But this much seems agreed upon:
merely feeding the world after the war
is going to be the biggest relief job ever
undertaken
To get some idea of the range of the
problems, let's look at the United States
first. What problems will confront us
when this war is won?
The Brookings Institution, a private
research group, suggests few items we'll
have to make up our minds about:
Americas Course Studied.
Should America assume world leader
ship? Should we go even further and
assume mastery? Should America try
to maintain a balance of power through
out the world, taking over Britain's his
toric role? What about a British Amer
ican alliance, or even a union of the
United States and the British Empire?
Should the democracies (and what Is
A DEMOCRACY?) form a. federation
against the rest of the world, or should
they merely cooperate? What about
regional arrangements for Europe, or for
the Orient?
What about reviving the League of Ma
tions and perhaps putting some teeth
into it through an international police
force or similar arrangements?
To this list must be added domestic
problems, such as:
What are we going to do with millions
of soldiers who will want to 20 back to
work?
What will happen to the workers who
have been taking their places?
How will our wartime economy change
back to peacetime production?
President Roosevelt and his National
Resources Planning Board recently at
tempted to supply an answer to these
questions when they sent to Congress
recommendations for postwar cradle-to-
grave social security and integration and
control Of industry with view to provid-
ing freedom from want Z
However, it appears that domestic So
F lutions will be tied up closely with what
we do in the. nternstfonalsoenesM
- Asshrinking 4tidss
BEnssIts just ope more example of huW the
world has shrunk through quick trans
portation, and how what happens to the
Chinese peasant and the Australian
sheep rancher can be of direct concern
to you and me.
That's part of the argument of all post
war planners-that the world must be
treated as whole in many instances if
any comprehensive and successful
scheme is to be worked out
To our Nations leaders, at least, the
need for concerted action appears so

lined by the War Department, lis to en-
able selected business and professional
men better to understand the Nations
war problem and the relation of the
total civilian effort" Amplifying this
idea, the thought seems to have been
that with most of American business
and industry at least partially engaged
in the war effort, the men running busi-
ness and industry would be able better
to understand the nature of the tasks
faced in raising, equipping, training.
transporting and fighting an Army if
they were taught some of the funda-
mentals. And this knowledge, in turn,
would help them to give the Army what
the Army needs.
The first class was assembled at Fort
Leavenworth in November, 1941. 1t
graduated on December g. The day fol-
lowing the Japanese attacked at Pearl
Harbor. Officers at the school fail to
see any significance whatever in this,
putting it down as mere coincidence.
This first class was composed of only 13
men and the courses were largely ex-
perimental. The war put a stop to the
plan of teaching others until the second
class was called-by personal letters of
invitation to selected citizens, sent out
over the signature of Gen. Somervell-
in october of 1912. The fourth class
now is completing its second week at the
school, Including its 80 members, there
will be 270 graduates of the course by
April next, representing all but eight
OF the States and divided as to civilian
occupations, according to the War De-
partment, roughly, as follows: Sixty per
cent, manufacturing and utilities; 20 per
cent, various fields of public relations
and publications; 20 per cent. represent
atlves of colleges, churches, organized
labor groups and other influential cit
izens." The present objective OF the
course is to graduate 500 men and the
school now Is well on its way into the
second half of this number.
There is considerable discussion as to
the real purpose, and value, of this ex-
pertinent in civilian instruction about
the Army. Much of the discussion arises
because of the rather Intangible nature
of what the War Department may want
to accomplish. 1t is not easily or pre-
cisely defined.
The publication, PM, has run series
of sensational and highly critical articles
attacking the course and attributing to
the school various nefarious and devilish
purposes, such as indoctrinating the ma
:, tive civilian with the idea Of helping the
Army take over and operate private
business. II such plot Is being Matched

There was a new crop of American
millionaires after the last war. Will
there be another crop after this war?
The answer is no, and for two reasons:
First, the high income and excess profits
tiation law.
Fabulous profits were made out of the
last war. j. P. Morgan e. Co., who float
ed loans for the Allies and acted as the
purchasing agent for Great Britain and
France in the United States, made $780,
100000 in the latter capacity alone.
There is no remotely comparable oppor-
tunity for profits open to the interna-
tional bankers of today
The Du Pont Co. paid a dividend of
100 per cent on its common stock in
1916; its average earnings for the four
war years were over $58 900 900, as COM
pared with Sc 100000 for the four preced-
ing years. Bethlehem Steel paid stock
dividend of 200 per cent in 1917 The
United States Steel Corp. reported earn
ings for 1916 greater by $7O0OO,OO0 than
the combined earnings of 1911, 1912 and
1913. General Motors averaged $21 ,700,-
900 for the four war years, as compared
with 100000 for the four previous
years. The example Of colossal earn
ings could be multiplied
What is the case today?
Profits Fail to Rise.
The latest report on profits from the
United States Department of Commerce
is significant. From the data now avail
able, the department says, it appears
that corporate profits after taxes were
about the same in 1912 as in 1941, when
the total was 81 668 100000 Profits, that
is to say, have remained stationary de-
spite the enormous increase in produc-
ton.
The renegotiation law is the Govern
ment's new profiteering club behind
the door-and it's not being kept behind
the door, Passed in April 1912, the law
requires renegotiation provisions to be
written in all war contracts exceeding
100000. That means that whenever the
heads of the respective agencies covered
by the laW-War, Navy and Treasury
departments and the Maritime Commits
sion-believe that excessive profits are
being or are likely to be realized, they
can require the contractor to scale down
his price or make cash refund.
The law is being firmly administered
and with spectacular results.
The War Departments Adjustment
Board has re-eXamined contracts IN the
amount of $500 100000. About % PEI
cent of this amount has been given
clearance" with no refund or other ad-
justment The balance has been whit
tied down. either through price changes
or cash refunds, by $1,045, 100000. or
roughly IL per cent of the total
examined.
Here are some of the concrete results
of renegotiation from the Adjustment
Boards files:
Company A under it's original con-
tract stood to make s1,1830O after
taxes, on its 1912 business. After re-
negotiation it made s496,00O.
Company B would have cleared S.

evidence of PROFESSIONAL doodling in red,

In front of him are the bright and
shining faces of his pupils-82 of them

baldsh heads and assorted waist lines
indicating an average age safely beyond
the reach of draft boards. They sit tense
at their desks their eyes following every
move of the instructor and their ears
tuned to catch his most casual word
Now we come to the fourth question:"
the instructor says. 'We have noted the
amount of gasoline, oil and grease re-
quired to move our infantry division
given distance. Mr.. Smith, can you tell
us how much gasoline, oil and grease
will be necessary to move every vehicle
in the armored division the same dis
tance, adding, Of course, the 10 per cent
factor for safety?'
Mr.. Smith has been waiting hopefully
in his seat He wants an opportunity to
show his classmates and his instructor
that his burning of the midnight oil last
night was not in vain. He rises to his
feet.
Two hundred twenty seven thousand
six hundred one gallons of gasoline, sir
That weighs 9l0 tons. The engine oil
will amount to 1921 gallons, weighing
81 tons and the gear lubricant comes to
l,647 gallons, weighing tons, The total
sir is 985 tons"
The instructor thanks Mr. Smith, who
sits down heaming. glancing around for
the approval of his classmates whom he
did not let down. Many of these, how
ever, regard him with annoyed skepti-
cism.
Did Mr. Smith forget anything, gen.
