NORTHWEST PLANS TO KEEP WAR GAINS

in this area. The idea seems to be that
the Northwest market now may be large
enough to warrant making the stun on
the spot. Products range all the way
from candy and face powder. to am
mnnium phosphate and Diesel engines.
The only trouble is that there is
practically no space.
Before the war the areas two big cash
crops were lumber and food.
Lumber looks forward to several years
Of heavy orders. But the two States are
settling down to controlled cutting, and
since they about reached their peak In
the war, there is little chance for
expansion.
Lumbermen plan to get more dollars
for the timber they cut through man
ufacturing many products here, instead
Of shipping the logs east. Furniture
factories are expanding. Plastics plants,
using wood waste, are growing. Ply
wood makers look for big market in
postwar reconstruction.
Produce Luxury Crops.
In agriculture the two States have
an advantage, since they play Mr..
Tiffany to the Midwest's Mr.. Woolworth.
They produce the higher-priced luxury
crops in great quantity, turkeys, filberts,
all manner Of fruits, berries and vege-
tables. seven times more wool than even
Portland's four wooden mills can han.
die and, of course, wheat.
Deep freezing started in Washington,
and both States are increasing the
processing plants. even down to indi-
vidual farmers with large acreage.
Most of the more thoughtful busi-
nessmen here have no hope this trend
to the Northwest" will jell easily. They
point out they must find markets both
at home and abroad-and that freight
rates on some products may sink them
IN competition with factories closer to
the big population centers.
The more conservative wistfully hope
the wartime arrivals will "go back home
and open up their old barber shops
until the Northwest is ready for them.

$4,000 persons were thrown out of work
when the United States cut back its
copper purchases. Chile depends upon
its copper and nitrate exports for large
percentage of its prosperity.
On top of this, to the Latins the war
was test between democracy and fas.
cism.
Outside of the fact that democracy
triumphed, what impressed them tre-
mendously was the overwhelming war
effort Of the United States under demo-
cratic procedures and the fact that this
country could and did hold an election
during the middle of the war.
Yearning for democracy was spanked
to renewed efforts In some cases, like
Cuba and Peru, this desire was satisfied
peacefully through elections, but in
others violence was resorted to.
Argentina Special Problem.
Argentina has developed into spe-
cial problem. The State Department is
handling 1t on an exclusive basis. The
department considers that the revolu-
ton there brought less democracy and
many Of the purple touches OF fascism.
On the whole, United States oficials
believe Latin America is making definite
progress toward broad, representative
government. But even though they mean
step forward, revolutions cause appre-
hension because Latin Americas natural
wealth and strategic position make her a
much more important factor in our for.
eign policy than heretofore.
Assistant Secretary Of State Spruille
Braden recently declared that. in word.
Latin Americans desire democracy.
While this has not been achieved ain
run measure anywhere" he said. 1t has
been put forth as the basic principle Tor
which they are all striving.

ministration, which had nothing to do
with public works
Gen. Fleming's FWA setup is much
bigger than "hard- boiled Harold's" old
PWA. In addition to public works he
has charge of the tremendous Govern
ment outlay for public roads and build
ings.
Congress has authorized $500 900 600
a year for three years for highways
to be matched by the States. That
makes a total $4,000, 100000 Federal
State expenditure-the most ambitious
highway program of all time.
President Truman pointed up the ad-
ministration's concern for possible post
war jobless in his wage price policy ad-
dress. He said he wished to keep the
United States Employment Service
under Federal control for another year
rather than return 1t to the States. He
said millions soon might be turning
to it for jobs.
Gen. Fleming hopes the road pro-
gram will provide 1880 man years of
direct employment and 1920 man years
OF indirect factories, mines, quarries,
etc. employment for each 500, ,000, ,0O0
Highway maintenance, he says, should
provide $500 man years Of direct and
Evening star., 1945-11-18

26,550 man years Of indirect employ
ment on the same basis.
He says he has reason to believe, con-
sidering past performance, that Con-
gress will approve proposed appro-
priation of $774.795,0 ,0e0 for the Public
Buildings Administration and the Post
Of1ce Department. There is no present
ofncial estimate of the number Of jobs
all this will turn up.
The general lists 4,020 eligible projects
-. if he can get the money for them.
He proposes to spend $193, 900 900 right
now outside the District of Columbia
and SIT, 2,405 900 here on the biggest
Federal building program since Herbert
Hoover won approval of Congress for
the great Mall Triangle"
Urge EAST Mall"
That's the west Mall, from the Poto-
mac to the Capitol. Gen. Fleming wants
to build an east mall of Government
buildings from the Capitol to the Ana
costa J.. :. 2 miles long and blocks wide.
The lame part of Gen. Fleming's re-
employment program is public works,
now called community facilities" So
far Congress hasn't given him penny
No. to build anything, although it did
give him that $l7,50O,00o to lend, with
out interest, to public planning groups
to draw up plans.
Mr.. Truman has asked for an addi-
tional $50,O00,000 for planning loans,
and Gen. Fleming wants total of
125,000,000. Already, on paper, there is
a $2,500, 900 600 construction program in
prospect and more is wanted in the
48 States, the 3,071 counties, 24,734 cities,
towns and villages, about 127 900 school
districts and upward of about 100000
other duly constituted public bodies such
as irrigation districts, bridge commits
sions and so on.
Says Gen. Fleming:
When the last depression came, 1t
was not possible dor lack of plans to
place public construction on the market
in sufficient volume to become Gimme
diately) effective"
Says Mr.. Ickes, who has a plan of his
own to give 100000 veterans one-year
jobs on Interior projects:

evasion OF the rent regulations. In
many cases the tenant either buys q

Ceilings on New Dwellings.
OPA plans to place rental ceilings
on new buildings for which no rent
has been set by the national housing
agency. These ceilings will be deter
mined by the first rent charged for
the housing, subject to adjustment
by the OPA area rent director, who will
take into account increased construction
COSTS
The realtors committee contends that
3 rental ceiling on new construction
will tend to discourage the building OF
rental apartments and houses, and that
that in turn will increase the shortage
of rental dwellings.
Bowles says the need for continued
controls sis emphasized by the fact
that during the period of World War
80 per cent of the increases in rent
occurred after the armistice was signed" !"
Controls were removed from nine
rental defense areas on September l.
OPA has announced that controls will
be lifted in Is to 100 small areas within
the next four or five months. It says
probably fewer than per cent Of the
residents in 481 areas under control
recently will be affected by the removal.
OPA officials say that local chambers
Of commerce and oficials OF manufac-
turing companies have urged rent
control be retained as long as neces-
. sary In order to promote stable
economy and to prevent labor unrest"
The realtors committee says 1--WE
do not believe that community should
have to become . veritable ghost town
before rent controls are lifted"
In many communities" it adds.
where supply Is almost equal to de-
mand. the lifting Of controls itself would
make more rental properties available
and create the proper balance for COM
petitive rentals.

United States diplomats don't like to
think about it. but the hard fact is they
expect revolutions to topple over more
governments in Latin America.
They'd rather see the Latins straight
en- out their Embellishments peacefully
than with Uncle Sans lease-lend tanks,
planes and trucks. But all they can do
is to sit and wait and hope the con-
hagration won't be so bad as it was after
the last war.
Then revolutions in 18 countries swept
Latin America almost clean.
A veteran United States diplomat re-
Gently returned from South America
viewed the situation this way:
Undoubtedly there will be more revo-
lutions in Latin America because Of our
cutbacks on war contracts and the after
effects of the war. But there may not
be as many as the last time because the
Latins are better Oh economically this
time"
So far during and after this war, six
revolutions have sent governments into
jail or exile. One attempt IN Colombia

Unrest is reverberating in other coun-
tries.

capitals to capture the presidential pal
ace with lease-lend air cover.
In the old days, troops moved on the
capital in the best foot-slogging manner
with possibly few small trucks carry
ing supplies.
Tanks fianked the Brazilian presiden-
tial palace ana motorized equipment
guarded vital spots in Rio while the
military forced Vargas to resign.
United States diplomats are frankly
embarrassed by this use of lease-lend
equipment. Secretary of State Burnes
objected to it, but outside of that there
is very little the United States can do
about it.
The equipment originally was made
available for the defense of the hemi-
sphere, but the Latins paid certain per-
centage for all lease-lend received If
this country tried to stop them from
using lease-lend equipment in political
situations" it would be walking right
into the charge Of intervening in domes-
tic affairs.
Although Latin America is economi-
cally better on now than after World
War I. it IS restless and yearning for So
cial changes.
The main troubles are:
I. Chronic economic and political an
ments, such Is imitation. continued gov
ernment controls and unemployment.
2. Difficulties lying In the way Of
peaceful changes In some Latin Ameri-
can political systems. These include
the controlledparty system, trick clauses
In constitutions, rigged elections, etc.
;. Excitable temperament that takes

LONG BATTLE. OVER RENTALS LIKELY

In no case exceeding present fixed rates
by more than 10 per cent?.
3. Exemption of new construction
from rent control.
4. Revocation of the OPA order for q
six-month eviction period.
The realtors committee says it asks
removal of. rent control "in the so-called
luxury type of housing ($75 a month or
more) because, with the war finished,
the time has come for adjustment to
the reality of the situation"
Landlords are being paid rents of a
depression or near-depression level" it
says, "in the face of constantly rising
maintenance costs.''
OPA Chief Bowles, who has rejected
this proposal, says ut would remove the
protection of rent control from a large
group of American families" and adds:
ITO remove ceilings on $75 and above
units would permit landlords to raise
individual rents $40, $50, $40 and more
month"
He asserts Landlords have presented
no information to OPA to show that
rent increases are needed to improve
the income situation of any substantial
number of landlords renting dwellings" !"
Under the eviction regulation which
became effective September Is, OPA
area rent directors may require q mini
mum Of six months before purchaser
may evict q tenant in order to occupy
the house itself. Previously the waiting
period was three months.
$4,000 Eviction Notices.
oPA oficials say they were compelled
to "tighen up on evictions because they
had been taking place at an alarming
rate-a situation even more serious than
1t was during the war"
They report total Of Sis 600 evictions
were received at local area rent o1Iices
In the first six months Of this year"
Summer declares "the six-month Pc
riod, like many artificial controls, does
as much harm as good in community
housing situation. It Is causing owners
to leave houses vacant for sale rather
than let them be used for rental until
. sale Is made. and to that extent It

A prolonged battle over Government
ceilings on rent is in prospect.
The battle, in which some 100000
tenants and 100000 landlords poten-
tally have stake, is expected to con-
tinue until next summer at least. Some
observers believe that rent control in
some areas will be hotly disputed issue
for couple OF years.
The realtors Washington committee.

Real Estate Boards, has voted Ito begin

control dropped when the OPA Act ex-
pires next June"
OPA Administrator Chester Bowles,
reporting recently to the Senate, said:
Let me make 1t emphatically clear
that the need for price control and rent
control will not be ended by next June.
To drop all controls by next June would
mean sweeping increases in rents in
