Washington to stand at the side of his
old friend on whom destiny had thrust
an unexpected burden. The first major
appointment made by President Tru-
man was when he named Snyder Fed
eral Loan Administrator.
He held tnat job less than three
months when Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau resigned, and was succeed
ed by Fred Vinson. From Potsdam
Truman sent cable moving Snyder UP
to Wilson'S place as war mobilizer and
reconversion director There's a story
afioat now that Truman is building up
Snyder to succeed Vinson In the Treas

would like to return to Congress. He
was in the House for many years and
next year his native State of Kentucky
is going to elect successor to A. B.

the Senate to become the car of pro-
fessional baseball.
For the present, however, Snyder has
enough to do to keep him fully occupied.
The United States Government manual
takes two full pages to describe. in most
succinct form. what are the duties of

disposal, maximum use of our Nations
resources, issuance of directives to Fed

OF reconversion, settlement of contro-
Versles between executive departments.
simplification and elimination of war
agencies, and host of other matters.
It's his job, as the manual defines it
to do everything that has to be done
in the executive branch of Government
to bring about reconversion to a peace
economy in an orderly manner and with
a minimum of delay and uncertainty.
Inat's a large order for a country
banker from st. Louis. Snyder's own
estimate of his job is that he is to
shoulder for Truman the problems that
arise in the, domestic economy. IF it
isn't problem it doesn't belong here, "
he said, tapping forefinger on his desk.
My task" he told the Senate Bank
Ing and Currency Committee when he
appeared in behalf of the full-employ-

health of our economy springs-man-

would be useless task if it did not

Snyder's greatest weakness as reconver-

Snyder just isn't the sort of man who

either. He knows there has been a good
DIT OF "sniping" at him and he hasn't

LONDON-The debate in the House

agreement is notable for two things
1t produced from Lord Keynes a most
admirable account of the problems he
encountered as chief architect and it
reduced to realistic proportions the size
OF the effective opposition to its ratifica-
ton. Beaverbrook volleyed and thun-
dered. Bennett spoke with acidity and
vehemence. But there were never
moments where signs of a fight between
the two Houses of Parliament were
seriously present. Cranborne, indeed,
foreshadowed collision in future. But
he followed Churchills example in
Commons and advised his followers to
abstain from voting. It was agreed
that the terms were hard, but Keynes
made 1t clear that from the premises
used by the American negotiators they
could not do otherwise
The choice is grim one either way,
They think the road taken has been
taken more from political than from
economic grounds, acceptance has been
nothing so much as an expression of
the deep conviction that Anglo-Amer-
ican relations must not be jeopardized
at any price. There is, moreover,
