BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the arrival here of the Earl
of Halifax to discuss British postwar
economic problems, the administra-
tion today came to grips with the
question of what assistance the
United States shall give its Euro
pean allies to enable them to regain
their national financial health.
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador
to this country, arrived here last
night from London. Lord Keynes
well-known economist, who will as
sist him in the negotiations, has
been here for several days. Their
formal conferences with the Amer
ican officials are to begin tomorrow
or Wednesday.
The British are expected to ask
for several billion dollars at very
low rate of interest or none at all
Meanwhile, applications for flnan-
cial aid to France, Holland, Belgium,
Russia and China also are pending.
$4,000, 100000 Credit Sought.
Some authorities say the United
States has pending requests for more
than $4,000, 100000 during the next
IL months to finance purchases in
this country and that additional bill
lions will be sought over the sue
ceeding two years.

has developed no clear policy or

100000 Decrease
In Industrial Jobs
Reported for August
By the Associated Press.

| os tHc AeoOClhteu Ffcss.
Employment in factories fell
off by 100000 workers in Au-
gust, the Labor Department said
today.
The bulk of the reduction came
after Japan's surrender, due to cut
backs in the metal, chemical and
rubber industries.
Announcing the results of tele-
graph survey made by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. Acting Com
missioner A. F. Hinrichs said:
These figures represent net
changes in employment and are not
to be confused with figures of grpss
layoffs."
(The War Manpower Commits
sion has estimated that 100000
workers lost their jobs between
the day of Japan's surrender and
August 3l0
Munitions Cut Heaviest.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
survey, conducted with the cooper
alton of representative firms in 19
major manufacturing industries, in
dicated that total manufacturing
employment declined from an esti-
mated level of 13,900,000 workers on
July 81 to 12,300,000 on August 81.
In munitions manufacture alone the
reduction was 100000 workers
from 100000 to 100000.
Because of curtailment of mil
itary orders in virtually every indus
try" Mr.. Henrichs said. "the release
of labor in the metal-chemical-rub-
ber group did not Immediately result
IN net gains in employment in other
groups of manufacturing industries.
Employment in nonmunitions in
dustries as whole declined from
100000 on July 81 to 100000 on
August 81. The 3 per cent change
in the nominations industries, re-
fiecting some seasonal changes as
well as curtailment OF military pur-
chases, contrasts markedly with the
18 per cent decline in the NUM-
tions industries"
Two Show Increase.
Only LIE lcdJIleT anu topdCCo ui-
dustries showed any increases in
employment during the month, and
these were relatively small.
Neither the War Manpower. Com
mission nor the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics has undertaken to esti-
mate present unemployment.
It cannot now be measured, Mr..
Hinrichs said, "since not all per-
sons who are jobless are covered by
the unemployment compensation
system and since, furthermore,
many former war workers are taking
time out for rest until reconversion
makes jobs available in the heavy
metal industries.
There is no measure yet OF the
number of war workers who were
laid off who will choose to retire now
that the need for their services has
passed"
BY industries, the percentage
changes in employment in August,
as reported to the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. were as follows:

Key To Popularity

That is the price woman has
