us. toC Consider Trade
OF Overseas Surplus
For Foreign Rights
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
This Government is willing to con-
slider trading its overseas war sur
pluses for foreign rights and con-
cessions" which would foster post
war world trade and amicable re-
lations
Thomas B. McCabe, Army Navy
liquidation commissioner, says such
trades will be thoroughly con-
sidered" in disposal Of the vast ar
ray of surplus war goods remaining
in countries which might find it
difficult to obtain American dollars
for outright cash deals.
Mr.. McCabe filed his report on
foreign surplus disposal with the
Surplus Property Boards new chair
man, William Stuart Symington,
shortly after the latter declared his
own policias on domestic surplus
sales yesterday. In his first news
conference here, Mr.. Synington de-
clared:
That he would prefer to take less
money in sales of surplus plants or
property if the cheaper sales would
open up more postwar job oppor-
tunities. The entire surplus ques-
ton must be approached, he said,
from the standpoint of social vi
sion."
Local Buyer Preference.
That local buyers in each section
should get preference over outside
capital in the purchase of Govern
ment factories; for example, Henry
j. Kaiser would be preferred over
United States Steel in buying the
new Western steel plants, if Mr..
Kaiser were backed by local capital
Mr.. McCabe's report was the first
declaration of policy on surpluseS
left by the expeditionary forces.
Eventually, he said, these will en-
brace "al the 4,oOo, 900 items it takes
to fight a war-enough to fill so
mail order catalogues"
The Office of the Army-Navy Liqui-
dation Commissioner recently was
authorized to handle surpluses of
United States civilian agencies
abroad as well as those of the
armed forces.
To Get Best Net Return.
This Offices first duty is to get
the best net return for the Ameri-
can taxpayer, which means selling
as much surplus as possible for i'm
mediate cash payment" said Mr..
McCabe, adding:
THE availability of dollars in
most countries is, however, rather
uncertain; where much of our sur
plus is located, dollar exchange may
exist only in limited amounts.
It Is possible that rights and con-
cessions-certain intangibles that
will lead to trade developments and
friendlier relations with foreign
countries-may prove to be of
greater value than financial obliga-
tions that would have to be paid of
over period of years"
Mr.. McCabe said agencies helping
to reconstruct the liberated coun-
tries would get first claim on the
surpluses.

Western Railroads
Ask Reconsideration
OF Rate Order
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Western
railroads announced today they had
filed a petition with the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washing
ton asking reconsideration of a re-
cent class rate decision.
The decision would substantially
reduce rates on manufactured prod
ucts in the West and South and in
crease similar rates in the East.
William H. Dana, chairman of the
Western Traffic Executive Commit
tee, in announcing filing of the Pc
tition, declared the West faces the
alternatives of bankrupt railroads
or higher rates On agricultural
products, livestock and raw mate
rials" if the decision is allowed to
stand.
The petition of the Western rail-
ways assert that "for the sake of
what might be deemed appeasement
the commission has dealt a blow
to the Western railroads the effect
of which it is difficult to determine
at this time"
The commissions decision, the
petition claims, disregardS the fact
that the Eastern States comprise
primarily a manufacturing region,
while the West is an agricultural
area. Transportation conditions are
so different in the East and West
that what is proper for one is not
necessarily proper for the other"
the railroads contend.
The petition said preponderance
of manufactured and miscellaneous
commodities transported by the
Eastern lines affords them substan-
TALLY greater revenues than the
Western lines get from the products
of agriculture and other raw mate
rialS.

GARDEN CITY, KanS., July 49,
Thousands of acres of ripe grain

Insurance Companies
Increase Dividends
In First Half
By EDWARp c. STONE.

Dy Ell w fAASAS ~s ~ a C%N@~f
Dividends paid American policy
holders by life insurance companies
in the first half year were more
than S12.O00,000 above the like 1884,
period, reaching $235, 100000, the In
Situte of Life Insurance reported
today.
In the full year 1914 policy divi-
dends totaled $341 100000 and ir
l943 amounted to $404, 100000. The
nidyear report indicates to officials
that the 1945 aggregate may reach
100000.
The half-year increase in divi-
dends, or premium refunds, is due
primarily to the increased insurance
in force and the increased age o1
the policies continuing in force. the
institute said, adding that business
so far in 1945 has offset the con.
tinuing fall in interest rates and the
rise in war death claims.

YoItu and the Poles

1t Is puzzling that Russia should
have again asked the United States
to invite the Polish government in
Warsaw to take part in the San
Francisco Conference. In view of
the fact that an identical request
had been rejected earlier. Moscow
could hardly have expected that its
second try would receive anything
but the second refusal that it got.
The American position, which has
been shared by the British up to
now, is clear enough: At the Crimea
Conference in Yalta the Big Three
agreed that new Polish provisional
government of national unity was to
be organized. This agreement, how
ever, has yet to be fulfilled, and so
Washington-and London as we'll
still formally recognize the London
Poles. while Moscow recognizes the
Communist = dominated group in
Warsaw. In the circumstances, the
United States cannot invite the lat
ter to San Francisco without extend
ing a kind of tacit recognition to it
"a gesture that would be sharply at
variance with the Crimea agree
nfent. Further. such move would
be illogical and discriminatory be-
cause we have already denied an in
vitation to the London Poles.
All this must be quite as well I'M
derstood in Moscow as it is here,
which makes the second Russian re-
quest all the more mystifying. For
eign Commissar Molotov's visit to
the United States. however. and his
projected meetings with President
Truman, Secretary Stettinius and
Foreign Secretary Eden of Britain
should do much to clear the air. It
may even be hoped that out of these
meetings will come a genuinely sat
isfactory effectuation of the Yalta
promise on Poland. Nothing could
be more reassuring than such a
development.

Treaty With Mexico

The Senate's overwhelming ratifi-
cation of the water treaty with
Mexico does more than insure an
equitable division between our two
countries of the flow of the tt
juana. the Rio Grande and the Colo
RADIO Rivers. It also serves as a con-
crete expression of the Good Neigh
Dor policy and thus lends additional
strength to our inter-American sys-
tenn of cooperation at time when
the United Nations as a whole are
preparing to work out similar sys-
tenn at San Francisco.
The most important provision Of
the treaty-subject to change only
in years of drought - perpetually
guarantees to Mexico an annual
allotment of 100000 acre-feet of
water from the Colorado to enrich
Mexican soil and nourish crops.
California led the opposition on sew
eral grounds. the chief one being the
claim that such an arrangement
would seriously endanger American
economic and agricultural interests.
AS the 76-to-10 Senate vote indi-
Gates, however, the points favoring
the agreement far outweighed the
points opposing, particularly since

There can be no doubt that the

EorIy Decision Desirable

The Park and Planning Commits
sion feels that a Potomac bridge
from Anacostia to Alexandria is a
necessary undertaking, regardless
of whether one or two one-way
spans are built to replace the old
Highway Bridge. At it's sessions last
week preliminary progress" was
reported in discussions with Vir-
ginia authorities concerning the
Anacostia- Alexandria bridge.
The Alexandria crossing may be
necessary to divert through traffic
from Virginia and Maryland around
Washington. But the weight of ex-
pert opinion in the District High
way Department, the Public Roads
Administration and the Federal
Works Administration is that High
way Bridge should be replaced by
two one-way bridges at the site.
These agencies are definitely of the
opinion that any long-range esti-
mate of automobile traffic furnishes
overwhelming evidence in support
of their view. The difference in cost
between one and two bridges, it is
argued, is not enough to offset the
mistake of constructing an made
quate facility.
Before his death President Roose-
welt had expressed a wish to dis
cuss the Potomac bridge contro-
verSy with the Commissioners. His
views were no doubt colored, in this
respect, by the fact that Secretary
Ickes and the Park and Planning
Commission favor one bridge in
stead of two. Because of his re-
quest, hearings scheduled before the
House Commerce Committee, which
would have produced evidence on
both sides of the controversy, were
indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Roose-
welt, as far as known, never got the
opportunity to study the matter.
The hearings Should now proceed.
1t is most desirable that a decision
on the bridge legislation be reached
as early as possible in order that
plans can be prepared in time for
construction to commence when the
war is over and labor and materials
are available. 1t Is also important
that the controversy between the
one-bridge and tWo-bridge advo-
Gates be reconciled by a decision
based on the weight of evidence as
to the public interest. Whatever
the decision, it need not affect the
eventual construction of the Ana
costia-Alexandria bridge, if the de-
mand for it is shown to exist.
