Secretary of State Hull has been preach
ing during his IL years in Office:

shall include provisions for agreed &C
tion by the United States OF America
and the contracting power open to
participation by all other countries of
like mind, directed to the expansion, by
appropriate international and domestic
measures, Of production, employment,

tions Of the liberty and welfare Of all
peoples. ."
The article also calls for "the elimi-
nation Of all forms of discriminatory
treatment in international commerce,
and the reduction of tariffs and other
trade barriers. -
Perhaps the application Of this Sec
ton can be made clearer by applying it,
as one Official did, to the specific case Of
Great Britain
British May Owe Billion.
AS OF last December 81, as pointed out
earlier, American lease-lend to the
United Kingdom totaled $685., 900 900,
while reverse lease-lend was reported as
81 l,526. 10000 Thus, on a strict book
keeping basis, the British owed this
country at that time approximately $5,-
600 100000. If the present ratio of lease
lend continues, some economists esti-
mate that the belance in favor of the
United States by the end of this year
will be roughly $4,000 900 900, or some
sl,400 100000 more than the British debt
under the Baldwin agreement.

the bulk of the German people would
follow the winner in the event of a
showdown. Looking in retrospect, the
chances of the Junkers winning out were
extremely limited unless the tool they
used for an attempt at Hitler's life was
a determined man who sold his life for
that of his target. Revolutions by priv
ileged class such as the "Potsdam group
are not likely to succeed. They find lit
tie following unless the turmoil is such
that outside Intervention places such a
group at the head of the affairs of state.
The German rebels are said to have had
an eye on Britain and hoped, Goering,
who might have carried some sections
of the Nazi party. could have been an
acceptable substitute for Hitler with the
Allies.
The failure of the plot gave Hitler
his chance to do away with the last
vestige of opposition to his rule. How
long he thinks he can last is difficult
to say. 1t depends entirely on how ef-
fective his appeals to the rank and file
are going to be, and how efficiently the
new leaders, from regimental to army
commander, will lead their forces.
1t is highly doubtful that these new
men, with only limited knowledge of
war and high strategy, will be able to
conceive any daring plans. But in the
predicament in which Germany finds
herself, the matter of strategy must be
relegated to second place.
Want Determined Fighters.
Moreover, Hitler and the German
armies see that young and heretofore
totally unknown Russian generals, who
have had only perfunctory War Col
lege training but are inspired by a deep
loyalty to their country, have succeeded
in crushing German generals and field
marshals who have worked lifetime at
the laboratories of war in the Reich.
What the German armies need now, ac-
cording to Hitler and his henchmen, are
determined men who will fight with
their backs to the wall and who will
put an end to elastic strategy" stra-
tegic and tactical retreats which have
allowed the Russians to reach the Ger
man borders and the Allies to reach
deep into French territory in spite of
the existing walls
The German general staff and the
"Kriegsakademie" officers have been
brought up on the theory that when
battles are lost they must look for peace
in order to prepare for another war.
This Fundamental principle resulted in
the generals giving up when the cards
were stacked against them. They knew
prisoners would be returned after the
war and they would form the nucleus Of
another army with which to fight other

Greatest Task
Rehabilitation of China
Surpasses All Relief
By James D. Whife.

With 450,000,000 people tired and tat
tered from war lasting for them from
1881, China presents the United Nations
with their biggest job of postwar neigh
boring.
It's job which surpasses combined
European problems in size and probably
IN compleXity. Two experts of the
United Nations Relief and Reliabilita-
ton Administration (UNRRAp have re-
turned from China with survey which
shows that helping China to get herself
back on her feet means providing her
ravaged people with a start in every
thing from buttons to bulldozers
UNRRAs two experts are Economist
Eugene Staley of Hastings, Nebr., and
Agriculture Expert Owen Dawson of
Springfield, Ill
Staley is a specialist in international
economics and Dawson is an agricul-
fural attache of the State Departments
Foreign Service on loan to UNRRA.
Japs Rule 100000 900.
Staley says there are 100000 900
Chinese who now are under japanese
domination, as against about 10000 900
Europeans whom UNRRA figures will
have to be helped
One big question in the relief and re-
habllltation picture in China is how
much the Japanese scorch the earth as
they retreat. If they ruin all machinery
and stocks as they 90 out UNRRA's
job will be that much bigger. If they
don't there's plenty of work to be done
anyway.
To prepare for this work the Chinese
have sent 40 of their own experts to
this country for quick training.
In China Staley and Dawson worked
with the Chinese governments Planning
Commission for relief and rehabilita-
ton and found that it already had
divided the country into IL regions
where separate programs are likely to
be necessary.
Almost any of these regions is bigger
than most European countries which
will need relief
Free China is included. because her

shortages in food, clothing and nearly
all consumer items because of bombs
and blockade. Staley says that as soon
as an opening into China is created
UNRRA plans to send its workers in to
tackle the job.
Food will be one OF the most urgent
problems, says Dawson Crops in China
this year are good, he reports, but he
points out that the Chinese live on such
narrow margin of safety in their diet
that the need for relief until the means
of production can be rehabilitated is
apparent"

1t is interesting to see the close
parallel between responsible thought in
England on the postwar employment
problem and the thought in comparable
quarters in the United States.
The psychological difference between
the two countries, it is true is reflected
in their attitudes toward business; the
English are more monopoly minded
than We are, less jealous to preserve the
strong business competition that the
average American regards as the foun-
dation stone Of the free-enterprise
system.
Security is sought in both countries
by the employer for his profits, by the
worker for his job-but to a larger
extent in England than America. Hence
the superior appeal of the cartel, which
TENDS to take the and loss" out of the
profit and loss" sytptn to the English
employer. The same philosophy is ac-
cepted by many of the workers because
they see in the cartel the best means of
getting for England the export trade
she must have in order to provide full
employment
See Three Separate Periods.
But despite the different values they
assign to competition, the two countries
are thinking Of the employment prob
lem in remarkably similar terms. With
but slight changes, q recent speech on
postwar policy by Lord Woolton, the
British Minister Of Reconstruction in
the House of Lords. could stand as an
estimate OF the conditions to be expected
in this country.
In both England and the United
States it is recognized that three sepa-
rate periods will follow the peace. First
will come the difficult period of recon-
version to 4 peacetime economy. There
is widespread agreement among our
leaders, both in Government and in
business, that the agencies of govern
ment at all levels, local, State and Fed
eral, should be prepared for this tranSi-
ton period with a program of public
works.
Next will come boom created by the
ability Of the people to satisfy their
pent-up demands out of their wartime
savings. The great danger of this period
will be that OF imitation.
Prophecy now becomes hazardous.
What will follow the boom of the
"catching-up" period? Will there be
such collapse as that of the 3os or the
adventure in prosperity that the
Baruch report foresees for the United
States if We handle our problems with
wisdom? 1t can only be said that an
unexampled prosperity is possible. How
We shall use our opportunities remains
to be seen.

WING Headache
Optimism Starts Rush
From War Industries.
By Joseph A.. Lotus

War workers have been vastly over
sold on the menace Of cutbacks and i'm
minent unemployment, in the opinion
Of production and manpower officials.
These officials are in a state of real
anxiety about it.
Workers are leaving their jobs in
great numbers. more often than the
Jobs are leaving them. Many think the
war is won. that they can ease up. and
that anyhow they had better start on
their own postwar plans
This attitude is regarded not only as
a dangerous blow to hopes of an early
end to the war but as unwarranted by
the facts. Onacials see no general cut
backs for months. Readjustments, yes.
Mass Ayoffs, no.
When Germany caves in there will be
substantial cutbacks, they concede but
they promise that real plans are being
worked out now to cushion that. The
release Of some aluminium and the par
tial reconversion that was allowed is
Intended to get the cushion ready and
reassure the workers it will be there.
Instead some fear these changes may
have contributed to the attitude that 1t
Is all right to ease up or run for the
cushion.

to its assistant executive director, Will
liam Haber, just back from a fiye-week
study in the field
Haber perceives six distinct factors
They are full of paradoxes, but that's
the manpower situation today
l. There have been definite declines
in the munitions employment from the
peak OF last November. From a top of
100000 the decline has been about
100 900 to 100000 4 month. BY the end
of this year there will be about mil
lion fewer workers than at the begin
ming OF the year in war gbods manu-
facture. This has been due largely to
better utilization of workers. to the ben
efits OF production experience, fewer
changes in models, for instance-and to
cutbacks. The number laid of, how
ever, is estimated at not over 250000.
2. The armed forces are going to
compete less with industry for able
bodied men. Inductions are down from
10000 q month to less than 100000.
;. Cutbacks, though relatively minor.
have helped ease the situation.
Cutback Labor Evaporates.
4. Here the contradictions startD
cutbacks are followed by a considerable
evaporation Of the labor force that was
released. Workers who are laid of take
1t as an indication by their Government
that they are no longer needed. About
50 per cent of the women separated
from jobs by cutbacks have left the
labor market. They return to home and
family life in many cases. Many wom-
an workers have accumulated several
years OF fatigue and are eager to get
back to peacetime conditions.
Workers in tight labor areas read
