Preliminary Credit
Terms Sought Before
.AtfIee- Truman Talks
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Angio-American economic nego-
tiators hope to have defined
preliminary agreement on the
amount and terms of a United States
credit to Great Britain as well as
commercial questions now at issue
ready for presentation to President
Truman and Prime Minister Attlee
when the latter arrives here about
November IL, it was learned today
To speed up the negotiations, II
was learned, two important members
of the British delegation have re-
turned to London. They are Prof
Lionel Robbins, commercial expert
attached to the Economic Ministry
and E. L. Patch, representing the
British Foreign Office. Mr.. Patch was
scheduled to arrive in London yes
terday and Prof Robbins today.
The two plan to return here In
advance of the Prime Minister
bringing the latest cabinet reaction
to the American proposals which
were cabled to London last week and
have been under consideration by
| WAC tcbAiiCu olllCC
Meeting Ground Sought.
AS result of their report, it is
hoped that the American negotia-
tors, headed by Assistant Secretary
OF State Clayton, and the British,
whose chairman is the Earl of Hall
fax, the British Ambassador, may
reach common meeting ground be-
fore the Truman-Attlee conference.
A British source explained it had
proved impossible to discuss the ex-
tremely involved negotiations by
telephone and cable satisfactorily
Therefore it had been decided to
send the two experts home in the
hope of achieving meeting OF
minds"
Secretary Of State Byrnes said at
his press conference yesterday that
considerable progress had been made
in the negotiations and that he was
hopeful of their success. He added,
however, that there were four or five
important questions still at issue.
Optimism Not Shared.
Asked If he thought that Mr..
Attlee would settle the points at
issue while he was here, Mr.. Byrnes
replied with a smile that the Prime
Minister would be good man If he
could do it. Correspondents under
stood him to imply that no one man
could, in few words, end negotia-
tions which cover so broad scope.
The Anglo-American talks, which
have gone on for more than a.
month, involve an American credit,
tariff concessions, lease-lend settle
ments, disposal of surplus property
and financial policy.
British sources consistently have
failed to share American optimism
about the progress of the negotia-
tions, possibly because it is they who
are assuming the long-term debt
which is at the core of the negotia-
tions.
There has been no change, it was
learned, in the basic American pro-
posal which involves a long-term
credit of between $4,000 900 900 and
$4,000. 100000 at approximately per
cent, in return for which Great
Britain would grant tariff and other
concessions. Precise details of the
proposal have not been made public.

WHAT WILL THE VETERANS DO?

Tune TO I'M We ae annoyed by people who insist upon
telling is that there will. be no depression after this war because the
veterans won't stand for it,
Well, we don't share that type Of confidence.
We've lived to SEE what veterans do after they surrender their
guns to the government and change to civilian garments. They do
what all other workers do. They look for jobs. They live n their wages
when times are good" and on their savings when they are unem-
ployed. And after that they look for some form of relief from the
government
Moreover, a jobless veteran, like any other man who is both Job
less and broke, tends to become an individuaHst. It's his stomach that
is hungry and his pockets That are empty. And anybody who puts
something IN either of those voids is the leader who will be trusted
and Acknowledgements!
We have a suspicion that people who ar waiting for the eteran
10 something later o n arc merely trying to excuse themselves
for not doing the right thing right now. We might call it lazy citizen
ship.
There's only one way to make certain that America will be a
better place IN which to live, a place in which everybody will be both
secure and free. That way is to set up an economy which will produce
security and freedom. And that is a job that must be done BEFORE
depression and controls hit
we've seer the results of waiting too long in Russia, in Italy and
in Germany. we've seen how the veterans acted then. Many of them
joined the forces of dictatorship and oppression.
And we've seen how American. veterans behave tom Anacostia
when they are desperate and divided. Those who demonstrated for
q bonus were veterans. But those who chased the protesters gu at
bayonet point and put the torch to their miserable shacks yer vet
Grams too.
No, there's no substitute for a economy of democratic Socialism
SO long as the laws of the land decree that industry shall be owned
D a e. people and operated primarily for the profit of owners there
VIII D. unemployment, elias conflict and the ever-growine threat To
human hpertles only when the means of life are owned by the people
and managed economically for the welfare of the people-only|
The task of laying the groundwork for a safe and free America
is OF a Job for veterans after the war. All of us must do that lob
and az it now Wen be failing the veterans if we shrink that task. -

coop CALL" is BoRN

The Socialist movement and the
cooperative movement are broth
erly allies in the battle of the com
mon man for his economic birth
right" Thus did the Socialist Par
ty platform of 1910 proclaim its
faith in the twin values of political
and economic action for the at
tainment of the brave new world
of the future.
In the five years that have pas
sed, Socialists have come a great
way in their support of cooperat-
ives, so that their latest plan for
full employment accords a spe-
cIally prominent role to the con-
sumner cooperatives. C~ooperatives
too have been getting out of the
non-political. tower in which many
of them were living, and getting
down to the realities of the dangers
implicit in the state which more
and more controls the world
around them.
Those who have been thinking
about the democratic collective
alternatives to the fascism which
looms on every hand have become
convinced that Socialism needs a

which 1t can be realized. And
