POLITICAL PARADE
By George Rothwell Brown

WHERE are foreign govern

finance their highly favored
postwar Sea-borne commerce. at
the expense of the American
taxpayer?
That is a pertinent question.
and some Of the answers are

Dutch government recently OBJ
tanned a loan Of 0,000,0 900,

Neither has it been revealed
what American lending agency
is putting up the money.
The rate of interest 10 the
Dutch is IL per cent, whereas
the American competitor OF the
foreigner is required to pay 3l3
per cent.
There also Is authority for the
statement that while the United
States Is favoring the foreigner,

pcnSe of the American in the
postwar race for world trade.
Great Britain is now building
ships in her own shipyards for

built of material much OF which
has been furnished by the
United States under lend-leaSe.
One interesting development
occurred recently at a hearing
before the House merchant ma
rine committee. on the pending
Bland bill, which contains fla
grant determinations against
the American ship operator IN
favor Of the foreigner.
This policy of discrimination
was repudiated by Assistant
Secretary of State w. l.. Clay
ton, who appeared as a witness
for the bill. and remained 10

Rep. Welch of California. a
m m ber Of the committee.
charged, while Mr.. Clayton was
on the witness stand, that the
state department had interfered
IN the merchant marine ques-
ton, notwithstanding the fact
that the maintenance of the
merchant marine under the
American flag had been placed
by the act of 1886 under the
maritime commission.
"ENoR reasons unknown to
L me-" said Mr.. Welch. "you
have definitely moved into the
picture. Is IL not fact that
this bill a. written discriminates
I'm favor Of foreign purchasers
against both subsidized and un-
subsidized American pur-
chasers
Mr.. Clayton sidestepped that
one. but a moment later MIR.
Welch made the charge that the
bill definitely discriminates be-
tween the American purchaser
and the foreign purchaser in
favor of the foreign purchaser"
"If that Is true," replied the
assistant secretary OF state. "I
do not think IL should be true"
MIR Clayton said the law
should provide that these sur
plus ships should he offered on
equal terms, whether TO a for
eigner or 10 an American"
Right there the international
New Deal probably came a crop
per in its effort 10 handicap the
American Merchant Marine in
the postwar world, and TO favor
the foreign competitor.
MIR. CLAYTON'S admission
NI stiffened opposition to the
bill in the committee.
The pres eservation of the
American Merchant Marine
after the war. on a successful
commercial basis. is going TO re-
quire lot of vigilance and a
lot of Yankee firnness.
Not long ago a proposal to
move the headquarters of the
American Merchant Mari ne
from Washington TO London,
was dropped in the face of con-
gressional opposition.
And this proposal was seri-
ously advanced Notwithstanding

Navy.

supply fuel oil to Argentina in ex-
change for badly needed vegetable
oils and feed meal in the United

FEA stated. The heavy residual oil
going to that country will come

added.
Petroleum Administrator Ickes re-
Gently disclosed he had asked the
Once of War Mobilization and Re-
conversion for justification" for
shipping oil to Argentina. Earlier,

oils in this country, had stated that
some people" were opposed to send
ing oil to Argentina in exchange for
vegetable oils.

is desperately needed" to feed dairy
herds in Europe. FEA said.

DC. Payroll IangIe
Continues; GaIIinger
Funds Are Delayed

The municipal payroll is snarled
once again, but not as badly as last
month.
The payroll from Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital for the period Of
July IA to % Is not expected to be
received until tomorrow, and Dis
trict Auditor Arthur r. Pilkerton
said he did not know when the roll
would be audited. He explained that
the length of time would depend
upon the number of errors on the
payroll.
Dr. Daniel L. Seckinger, acting
health oficer, said he understood
40 or so employees yesterday ex-
pressed resentment over the delay
at Gallinger. He said he was PLAN
ming to confer with Or. Alvin r.
Sweeney, hospital superintendent
The payroll division of the audi
tors ONCE said the police were paid
yesterday, a day late, and the Fire
Department personnel was paid on
time. The Health Department, ex-
cept for several sections, will be
paid today. ....
Checks for school custodial en-
ployes, scheduled to have been paid
Tuesday, are being written now and
1t was expected that they would
be paid at least by tomorrow.
AS last month, officials empha-
sized the delay was caused by re-
ceiving the payrolls several days
after they were due and because
Of the number of errors which must
be corrected.
Mr.. Pilkerton said that once de-
partments are on 40-hour work
week the payroll problem will be
greatly simplified. He pointed out
that the 40-hour week would do
away with the overtime complica-
tions. One OF these complications is
that deductions for retirement are
made out of basic pay but not out
of overtime pay.

right to remove tenants from low

Mr.. Ihlder said a meeting was

more income but that it was SUBJ

said, other tenants appealed to

Both of these courses" he said
"sre within the tenants rights and

court case would settle the minds OF
