Because their agents and

POLITICAL PARADE
: By George Rothwell Brown

WHAT might well be reck-
w oned the most stupendous
single financial transaction of
this fabulous era is in the MAX
ingS on Capitol Hill.
1t would be authorized in a
bill, which may be brought into
the House of Representatives a
week hence for debate and en-
actment, under the terms of
which the United States gov
eminent would sell 28.000000
tons of merchant shipping. VAL
ued at between II and Is bill
lions OF dollars!
Intensive hearings have been
under way before the House
merchant m arine committee
since March.
When the bill is reported il
will be discovered that drastic
changes have been made in the
original measure.
4 S PREPARED at the marti-
II time commission. and sent
10 the House for rubber stamp
ing. the bill was fantastic al
most beyond belief. 1t penal
lied American shipping inter-
estS, for the benefit of the ship
ping of foreign countries.
The original bill required
Americans bidding on the sur
plus fleets created under war
necessity to pay 25 per cent Of
the contract price in cash.
II freed foreign bidders of this
requirement, and permit ( I g d
them to purchase ships with no
down payment whatever.
II provided that foreign pur-
chasers could have access TO
the loans of United States
agencies, such as the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation,
and Lend-Lease funds.
II gave no such privilege to
American bidders.
Members Of the merchant
marine committee were dumb
founded at the partiality shown
10 aliens by this bill, and the
difficulties put in the way of the
Yankee buyer.
After a hard fight these
clauses have been stricken from
the bill. Otherwise, il could never
have been reported, or passed
by the House. II was that bad!
1t became apparent to COM
mittee members that Russia
was probably one Of the foreign
countries most interested in OBJ
tanning American ships at bar
gain prices.
The committeeman are con-
vinced of the Soviets' ambition
10 become a great commercial
maritime power in the postwar
world.
IRON the beginning enact
Il ment of the bill in its origi-
nal form was urged by spokes-
men for the CIO before the
committee. II was opposed by
the American Federation of La
Dor.
On one occasion In executive
session a Democratic member of
the committee charged one wit
ness supporting the bill with
being a Communist. When one

and how much? MRS. III.
A-Whether or not the serv-
iceman may be returned to the
United States and discharged
is a matter wholly within the
jurisdiction OF the military aIi-
thorities involved. At the time
of discharge, he will be given an
opportunity TO file a claim for
compensation with the Veterans
Administration representative
at the separation center or hos
pital, based on n condition
which was incurred in or ag-
gravated by his period of active
wartime service. The Veterans
Administration has the sole au-
thority for determining whether
any claim for compensation may
be granted or disallowed. IL
granted, the amount Of compen-
sation will be based on the de-
gree or percentage of the vet
eran's disability, and the extent
TO which his earning power is
impaired.
