This is time for great rejoic-

temptation. With the, destructive
force of war removed from the
world, we can turn now to the grave
task of preserving the peace which
you gallant men and women have
won. 1t Is a task which requires
our most urgent attention. It is
one in which we must collahcrate
with our Allies and the other ma
tions of the world. They are as
determined as we are that war must
be abolished from the earth II the
earth, as we know it, is to remain.
Civilization cannot survive another

will never forget-those who have
gone from among you, those who
are manned, those who, thank God
are still safe after years of fighting
and suffering and danger.
And I know that in this hour of
victory their thoughts-like yours
are with your departed Commander
in Chief. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
This is the hour for which he so
gallantly fought and so bravely died.
I think I know the American SOL
dier and sailor. He does not want
gratitude or sympathy. He had a
job to do. He did not like it. But
he did it. And how he did it!
Now. he wants to come back home
and start again the life he loves--a
life of peace and quiet, the life of
the civilian.

trymen when I pledge you that we
shall do everything in our power to
make those wishes come true.
For some of you, / am sorry to
say military service must continue
for a time. We must keep an occu-
patton force in the Pacific to clean
out the militarism of Japan, Just as
We are cleaning out the militarism
of Germany. The United Nations
are determined that never again
shall either OF those countries be
able to attack its peaceful neigh
bors.
But the great majority OF you will
be returned to civilian life as soon
as the ships and planes can get you

men and women thousands of miles

will take months to accomplish. You

everything possible to speed it up
We want you back with us to make
your contribution to our countrys
welfare and to new world of peace
The high tide of victory will carry
us forward to great achievements in

u. 5. Will Urge Britain
To Relax Trade Control
In Return for Loans
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTOWER,
Associated Press Stan Writer

The United States will propose
that Britain jettison or drastically
modify her system of empire trade
preference controls as one condition
of further financial aid from this
country.
This suggestion, it became known,
is one of several that will be made
to British envoys in conferences due
to begin this week over what none
tary help this country may be will
ing to extend England now that
lease-lend has shut down.
The proclamation of VI day oy
President Truman made the lease
lend termination fully effective and
emphasized the urgent need of the
British to continue under some other
arrangement the flow of materials
and supplies they received free OF
cash cost during the war.
1t is a tough problem because
British officials have insisted all
along they do not want loans, say
ing they cannot assume more debt
and United States authorities take
the view that they cannot actually
make a gift of financial aid to
Britain.
Long Term Credit Likely.
The prospects are for some sort
of long term very low interest credit
which would be a sort of compro-
mise between a normal loan and an
outright grant.
But the problem is more compli-
Gated than that, for United States
officials in charge of overall eco
nomic policy are prepared too bal
ance their decisions on loar
against the concessions which the
British will make no commercial
empire arrangements, in the inter.
est of loosening up world trade
Here are three main American
objectives for these conferences:
l. To get the British to agree te
refund an scale down $4,000 ,O00, :
900 debt which the United Kingdom
owes its empire and, economically
satellite areas, notably India anc
the East. In the past the British
have strenuously objected to any
reduction in this debt by mean.
other than actual payment, saying
that 1t would cost them prestige anc
hurt their credit position.
| The United States contends, how.
ever, that the British must refunc
and reduce the debt in order to pay
for the credit which they want ir
this country for the future. Ths
American contention is that Brit.

nessmen, pass on some of the dollar
credits to empire areas SO they
could buy United States goods.
q. To obtain a British agreement
to eliminate or drastically modify
the empire preference system of
trade controls. This is tariff ar
rangement designed to promote
trade among units of the empire in
competition with trade between the
empire and outside countries. Thus.
the United Kingdom charges a
lower duty on wheat from Canada
than on wheat from the United
States.
"3. To obtain a promise to break
down the British system of pool
ing dollars in sterling area coun-
tries. This Is a means by which
the British control American goods
purchased by those countries. The
sterling countries are those whose
currencies are built around the
British pound sterling. They are
chiefly in the India Middle East
section.
Through the dollar pool the
United States money taken in by
any one of the countries was ex-
changed during the war for pounds
sterling. The dollars then were
pooled by the British and distriib-
uted throughout the empire and
the sterling area according to their
needs to purchase wartime supplies
from the United States.
American officials say the system
was a good one when the war was
on but now is no longer desirable
The British negotiators-headed
by the famous economist Lord
Keynes and the Ambassador, Lord
Halifax-may obtain an immedl-
ate short-term loan from the Ex-
port Import Bank to cover interim
purchases in this country while
they negotiate a large long term
credit. If they are to get a very
long term low interest credit rum
ming into three to five billions OF
dollars that can be granted only by
Congress.
| Evidently one basis of the Ameri-
can argument to the British will be
the commitment in lease-lend
agreements that postwar trade be
organized so as to promote free and
fair commerce among all nations.
| This is regarded as the real sig
niflcance behind Secretary Byrnes
assertion Friday night that lease
lend settlements remain to be
worked out and that the United
States expects to get something out
of them.
