Going Out Of Business

The governments investment in war plants,
built or authorized, tops $4,000, 600. The
figure was revealed by Jesse H. Jones, sec
rotary of commerce, when he addressed
guests at New York Board Of Trade din
ner in observance of the organizations sew
enteenth anniversary and the first of its Latin
American section.
The money has gone, or is gong, INTO 1855
plants and six pipelines, 534 of which are
for airplanes and affiliated activities; "a for
aluminium, IS for aviation gasoline, 1l6 for
machine tools, 40 for magnesium, 60 Tor metal
products, rs for ordnance, SO for radio, IS
for ships and parts, 1854 for iron and Steel
so for synthetic rubber, ETC., IA for Jewel
bearings and diamond dies and 43 for hemp
and rope. When the war ends, Mr.. Jones
declared, the government, despite this I'M
mense investment should get out of active
industry, but should do so without too much
unnecessary loss. Business will do we'll f"
he added, ito recognize the taxpayer in
vestments, when negotiating for government
owned plants, properties and supplies, and
not expect too many bargains"
In the interest Of free enterprise, the gov
eminent will deal fairly with industry, he
declared, in planning for the disposal of it's
industrial holdings, but he warned that in
dustry must cooperate with the government
in solving this key postwar problem" Many
war plants can meet peacetime requirements
but it will be necessary and to the best in

and too much concentration, in accomplishing
which local people should have the first call
on such plants
1t will be up to the President and the Con-
gress, he continued to determine what shall
be done with plants and supplies. 1t will not
be an easy job, 'but those of us in admins
trative positions, aided by business and in
dustry, must present plans, suggestions and
ideas that will be helpful to them in making
their decisions"
Because of Mr.. Jones' position in the adj
ministration and closeness to the President,
his address has significance. It might not be
far afied to assume that it is an Indirect
answer by the administration to the cutlery
against the governments encroachment upon
and the complaint widely raised against fed
eral domination of business and industry. His
declaration that the government fought to
get out of active industry as soon as it can"
surely was not merely his own opinion. 1t
probably had the sanction of Mr.. Roosevelt,
and reasonably may be accepted as repre-
sentng his position in general.
If the proposition that government has no
established position in private business and
industry is carried out when hostilties cease,
the country may look forward to better times
in the trying period ahead

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. - Neither our
own government nor our allies can
afford to ignore m matters
raised by several senators w h o
have just returned from a tour of
the war theaters.
When one of them as strongly
supporting the Administration as
Senator Mead of New York or
Senator Russell of Georgia voices
concern, it is a warning not to be
ignored. These senators are more
critical in private than they are
public because they do not wish
to help those who would divide
the allies.
That is all the more reason why
serious note should be taken of
what these senators say, for in
stance, about the desirability of
making larger use of Middle East
oil reserves now. The senators be-
lieve that an undue burden is fall
ing on Western Hemisphere 0
supplies which are about so per
cent of the Allied war consump-
ton Output of the big Persian Gulf
refineries could be increased 40
per cent, Senator Mead says.
Oil supply lines from America
once were the shortest and most
easily defended. But the Mediter-
ranean is open now and it is 1000
miles from SueZ to Gibraltar in
stead of 10000 miles as it has been
around Africa. The senators do
not believe our supply sources are
readjusted to the changing war sit
uation.
That will be inquired into by
the Truman committee, two men,
bers of which were on the world
tour.
Senators came back saying that
the Allies are not getting as much
rubber from Ceylon as would be
possible by double tapping the
trees. They were told the yield
could be increased $4,000 tons a
year by double-tapping. But fric-
ton between colonial officials in
Ceylon and Delhi prevents impor-
tation of the necessary labor. We
need more natural rubber to mix
with our synthetics. For lack of
it we are searching now for chem
ical mixtures to serve as substi-
tute softeners.
The senators are most concerned
however about air rights and the
lack of any agreements that would
give American aviation use of the
many bases and airfields that we
have built around the world. The
senators heard a good deal about
British empire plans for extending
spheres of interest through Africa.
They heard much talk about Brit
ain desiring a weak China n d
about the British determination to
hold Hong Kong. They noted how
much superior was British to the
American representation in some
areas, especially the Middle East,
where Richard Casey, formerly
Australian minister at Washington
and an exceptionally able and per-
sonable diplomat operates through
out the Middle East with the rank
OF a British cabinet minister.
Those are the things senators are
talking about to their associates.
Those are the matters that the
senators, in executive committee
session, will question the executive
branch about.
Our government cannot afford
tc hesitate about bringing up these
matters. Neither can our friends
the British, afford to wave us off

Mystery Blast
Kills Woman
Clinton Home
Rozed by Explosion

An explosion of mysterious
origin which this morning fatal
ly injured Mrs. Florence Sa-
wickj, So, of 80 McGovern ave-
nue., Clinton Township, and COM
pletely destroyed her home, was
being investigated today by Ma
comb County sheriff's deputies.
Mrs. Sawicki died this after
noon in st. Joseph's hospital,
where she was taken by depu-
ties following her rescue from
the burning home by two mo-
florists attracted to the scene.
The explosion occurred early
this morning when Mrs. Sa-
wicki heard noises in an empty
room upstairs, in which she had
secreted S215, and went up to
investigate. When she opened
the door TO the room, an explos-
ion rocked the house hurtling
her down the stairs.

are dependent upon the sheriff's

the consistent efforts of the

supervisors to defeat his needs,
smiled broadly this morning.
