Private Finance
UrgedtoIdkeUp
FLA Peace Job

Private financial Institutions
should prepare to take over as
soon as possible after the war all
mortgage insuring functions now
assumed by FILA. Douglas Whit
lock, president of the Producers
Council, told members of the u. S,
Savings and Loan League at its
recent conference in Chicago.
Whitlock also warned that all
branches of the construction in
duStry must work closely with
WPB officials in order to make
certain that restrictions on pri-
vate building and construction are
removed as fast as developments
in the war program permit, thus
providing the maximum amount
of employment for demobilized
construction workers when the
war program begins TO slacken.
Granting that the FILA has
served a valuable purpose in the
past and has demonstrated the
feasibility of mutual mortgage
insurance, the council president
expressed the belief that the
publics postwar housing needs
nevertheless would be met most
successfully by returning full re-
Sponsibility for the nations houS-
ing program TO private business
and reducing the extent of federal
control over construction.
To that end, he recommended
that the insuring operations of the
FILA should be continued during
the early postwar years until
equivalent facilities can be ar
ranged by private enterprise.

FARM MACHINERY:
Doubling Output

Rationing of farm machinery will
be reduced to 81 types next year as
increased raw material allotments
will allow the manufacture of almost
twice as much equipment as was
made in 1912 and about 80 per cent
of the 1910 total. Production Of re-
pair parts will be unrestricted.
With sufficient carbon steel avail
able, only uncertainty of supplies
of anti-friction bearings, malleable
castings and forgings is rufling
farm machinery manufacture. AS
in all mechanical production, bear
ings are the chief bottleneck.
Despite the improved outlook for
farm machinery, difficulties may
arise from the scarcity of hauling
vehicles, including trucks, and in ac-
quiring replacement tires for trucks
now in operation.

LIVING COSTS:
Up % Per Cent

While the War Labor boards
''Little Stee1' formula restricted
wage increases to Is per cent over
the January, 1941, level, living costs
have risen 23.4 per cent since then,
according to figures of the depart
ment of labor.
Originally, WLB awards were
based on Is per cent increase in
living costs from January, 1941, to
September, 1912. Since September,
1912, however, there has been an
other So per cent rise, with labor
demanding corresponding reduc-
ton in living costs or higher wages
to equalize the present condition.
Further, labor charged that the
government figures on living costs
were inaccurate, and the President
appointed a special committee to
look into the subject.
The Ely miner., 1943-12-09

CABLES: The navy will make it
possible for naval personnel to re-
ceive cablegrams at most shore in
stallations outside continental Unit
ed States. Service will be expanded
shortly after the first of the year.
The army has forbidden fixed text
holiday greetings to be transmitted
to soldiers overseas between Decem-
ber 6 and Is, to prevent overtaxing
of facilities.
WARSHIPS: Secretary of Navy
Knox asked congress for 21z million
additional tons of auxiliary ships,
and million tons in landing and
district craft, explaining that the
developments of the war indicated a
need for this type of ship. The cost
is estimated at about five billion
dollars.
TANNERIES: Thirteen tanneries,
imperative because of striking
workers, have been taken over by
the army, under orders of the sec
retary of war. The army authorities
will operate the plants, which are in
Massachusetts.

PATERSON
PRACTICAL PLAN
FOR POSTWAR WORLD

PRACTICAL PLAN
FOR POSTWAR WORLD
IN AN ADDRESS delivered in
London, before an audience of Brit
ish business people, Eric A. john
ston, president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, offered
definite, practical postwar program,
superior to anything emanating
from world political leaders. Briefly
expressed, and without the details Of
operation, it amounts to this:
American and British capital and
productive ingenuity, operating as
private enterprise, finance the de-
velopment of the natural resources
of the less advanced nations. They
do this in connection with local capi-
tai and management of these ma
tions. They do this not as a phslan-
thropy but for the purpose of max
ing profit, of increasing the living
standards of the people of these
less advanced nations, of creating
new markets in which all the world
will share. There to be no selfish
exploitation of the people or their
resources and no cut-throat compe-
tition of which these less advanced
people would be the victims.
1t is practical, workable idea.
1t does not make of the business and
financial interests of either America
or England a Santa Claus, such as
welfare workers have visualized. It
would preserve and extend that sys-
tenn of free enterprise that has
worked so advantageously in Ameri-
ca. Over the years it would build
better and more prosperous world.
The one fly in the ointment is:
Will the American government leave
business with a sufficient surplus
that will make the undertaking of
such an idea possible? There must
be something accumulated and set
aside if such a far-reaching plan is
to be attempted as private enter
prise.

WORKING WOMEN:
More Needed

With 161s million women already
at work, another million are needed
to round out war production de-
mandS.
As of October, only 100000 people
remained unemployed, and with this
sharp reduction in the number idle,
it has been found necessary to call
on women to fill in many jobs, espe-

ters.
The extent to which women have
been recruited for industry since
the armament program got under
way can be glimpsed by the fact that
only 10,800,0 900 were working in Octo-
iber, 1910.

ENFORCED PAYMENTS
TO UNION OFFICIALS

IF YOU WANT job making air.
planes for the nations armed
forces; if you wish to do your bit to-
ward winning the war, you must pay
$25 for the privilege of working at
that job, for the privilege of doing
your bit.
That $25 is collected from you by
the airplane manufacturer, your en-
ployer. He does that on order Of
the government. He turns that
amount withheld from your pay over
to officers of the union of which you
must be member if you are to be
allowed to work. That money is not
accounted for; how it is spent, by
whom or for what, no one other
than a coterie of union officials
knows.
And this is free (?) America.
Your contributions, as a worker,
do not stop with the forced payment
of that $25. There are dues and as
sessments and possible union fines to
be paid. These, also, are collected
from you, on orders of the govern
ment, by your employer, the air
plane manufacturer. He simply de-
ducts from your pay the amount
union officials say you owe.
And the nation is clamoring for
manpower with which to produce
the planes, guns, tanks and ships
needed to win the war.
If that enforced membership in a
labor union, or any other organiza-
ton; that forced collection of men,
bership fees, dues, assessments and
fines, represents one of the social
gains that must be maintained,
many of our soldiers and sailors
feel the freedom they are fighting
for is hardly worth saving.
