 GAIN INDUSTRIES.

washington, June 90 (UP)--Cer- man naturalization of occupied countries to serve that Nazi war machine can in some instances re- suit in permanent industrial ex- pansion, thus enriching these coun- tries in peacetime - provided the industries are not destroyed during the war.
 Among countries which may reap certain industrial gains from Ger man occupation is Norway, where aluminium production and water power have been greatly expanded by the Nazls, and will probably re- main permanently expanded, ac- cording to Dr. Louis DomeratzlSy, chief of the European unit, bureau of foreign and domestic commerce,
 Poland, too, where the Nazis have forced expansion of the textile industry, largely along synthetic lines, will probably continue to have a larger textile production after the war, he said.
 On the other hand Austria, where the Germans have tried to develop iron and steel production, cannot possible compete with other iron and steel producing countries in peacetime, and the industry can- not last there, Domeratzky asserted.
 Use Depends on Damage
 The internationally known eco- nomist said that lasting benefits which could result from Nazi in dustrialization vary widely from country to country and that many war industries cannot possibly be converted to peacetime production. In all cases peacetime use of in- dustries built up by Germany will depend in the wartime havoc wroght on them, which cannot now be estimated, he added.
 Where destruction is extensive, it will be long time before coun- tries can build industries to pre- war levels, Domeratzky said.
 He estimated that it would take Russia five years to rebuild the Ukraine and other industrial sec tions devastated by the Nazis, add- ing that the speed with which the Ukraine is rebuilt will depend largely upon the aid which Russia may want or get from other coun- tries in reconstruction.
 France, Domeratzky said, is less industrialized now than before the war and Italy will emerge from the war less industrialized than before, partly because of the enormous de- struction there and partly because the Fascist regiem artif1cally built up industries there for political and war purposes which are not eco- nomically sound for the country.
 Germany's Course
 Domeratzky said that Germany may turn to agriculture rather than industrial expansion after the war when watime industries will be abandoned-butw what happens in Germany will depend on the ex- tent of destruction during the war, on the peace terms, and on the question of postwar markets for German products.
 Domeratzky said that 1t would be long time after the war, per- haps three or four years, before the U. s. can ''catch up" with it's normal export trade because most European countries would not have enough money to buy anything but essentials, while the pent-up de- mand at home would produce such booming domestic market that American industry would be pretty well occupied serving home markets in early postwar years without lock- ing to the export trade.
 Most European countries will not be able to afford any American luxuries, such as automobiles. ra- dios, and refrigerators for several years after the war, but they will want industrial equipment, raw materials, and foods, he said.
 Some of the neutrals, however, as Sweden and Switzerland, ''who have been making money during the war;" may be in the market immediately for American automo- biles and other luxury products, he added.
