War Review
Iyphoons Delay Final
Peace Settlement
By Ho,card p. Bailey

Typhoons, making impossible the exc
cution of the plans for an airborne
initial landing of American troops in
Japan, will delay the final signing of
the peace terms by about 48 hours, it
was announced yesterday from Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters.
However, delay in the final act has
not halted the surrender of japanese
troops on all fronts and throughout
last week the reports of capitulation
came in steadily. The visit of Tokyo's
ENJOYS to Manila resulted in final agree
ment on the terms of surrender and
plans were Immediately rushed for the
occupation of Japan.
While the war sped rapidly toward
Its end, the surface of international
waters was by no means tranquil. In
China there were growing signs of
trouble between the Nationalist govern
ment of Chang Kai-shek and the Com
munists who were attempting to seize
power in Manchuria and other areas
while dissatisfaction over the govern
ments and election plans in Greece,
Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria arose
among Russia, Great Britain, France
and the United States. The British
also professed to be shocked at the sud-
den cessation of lease-lend which Presi-
dent Truman ordered last week but
criticism was quickly snuffed out in
Parliament and in this country Foreign
Economic Administrator Crowley COM
mented that the British should have
known that the end Of the war would
end lease-lend, which was established
to aid in the prosecution of the war, not
economic rehabilitation once the war
should be over.
The high lights of the week are:

Japs confer for five hours in Manila
as surrender negotiations are started.
Macarthur avoids meeting Tokyo en-
voys. Rescue team of American para
chutists finds 1t. Gen. Wainwright and

masse. Burma forces, however, refuse

time manufacture. During this recon-
version period, hundreds of thousands
OF industrial workers land this is a
conservative estimate) will be idle. For
the most part the District will be spared
such experiences The second advan-
tage stems from expansion of Govern
ment here. It's true that thousands
will be dropped from the Federal pay
roll within the next few months, but
1t also is fact that thousands of others
hired during the war will remain on
their jobs permanently. Also many of
the dismissed workers will leave WASH
ington and return to their homes.
Then, too, larger peacetime Army
and Navy means more civilian per-
sonnel at the War and Navy Depart
ments than were employed before the
war. Other Federal agencies will be
larger than they were before the war.
1t doesn't take an economist to see
that this will aid business here and in
turn create additional jobs in private
industry.
$1,000 Private Jobs Open.
The Board of Trade survey OF ap-
proximately 1900 employers mere showed
that private industry in Washington
will need $1,000 more workers during
the next year. At present 256,O00
workers are employed in private estab-
lishments. Approximately an equal num-
ber are employed In the Government.
just how many Federal employees will
lose their jobs isn't certain, but it is
estimated that within two years $4,000
of them will be released. With an
estimated $4,000 servicemen returning
to the area, there will be 10000 men
available for $1,000 jobs.
But businessmen here say the situ-
alton isn't as bad as it appears. There
will be some unemployment In the
months to come, but it is not expected
to reach serious proportions.
Here Is what they say is likely to
happen: The survey shows that about
5000 viii leave the washington area.
For the most part these people are
Government workers. Another $4,000
persons expect to quit work after the
war. These people, who comprise S
per cent Of those employed, intend to
return to housekeeping, resume their
education or retire to enjoy old age.
When We combine those two figures
and SUBTRACT them from 10000. the

field of eligible workers is cut to 1000.
With the estimated $1,000 new Jobs
available, this would leave 10000 work.
ers jobless.
1t is the considered opinion of most
financial leaders here that new busi-
ness and industry will absorb these
10000. Once building materials are
available, new. retail establishments,
theaters, restaurants. housing projects
and other types of businesses are ex-
pected to spring up.
This opinion is more than sub
stantiated by estimates of building
construction firms regarding their ac-
tivities during the next year.
In the next II months $4,000 addi-
tional workers will be needed in the
building trades. The additional work.
ers would swell the number of build
ing construction employees here. to
$1,000
Much of the building industry's ac-
tivities will center about the construc-
tion of private homes. It the Board
of Trade survey is any criterion, build
ers will be very busy here during the
next few years. The survey revealed
that some $4,000 families in the Wash
ington area are planning to build or
buy homes when conditions will permit.
Greatest demand will be for houses
with three bedrooms in the $1,000 to
$4,000 price range.
Heavy Demand for Autos.
Another encouraging fact revealed by
the survey was an enormous potential
demand for durable consumer goods,
which should aid retailers here and
provide a strong stimulus to the creation
Of jobs.
For one thing, two families out Of
five say they are almost sure to buy
an automobile during the first two
years after the war. This means ap-
proximately 10000 cars. There is an
equal demand for other products un-
available for the most part during the
war. Refrigerators, vacuum cleaners.
washing machines and radios are some
Of the products eagerly sought by the
Washington public.
OF course, the ability to buy these
products depends on whether the po-
tential purchaser has job which will
provide the needed income. In this
connection, It Is encouraging to note

The war just closed was our best-run
war.
But some of the men closest to the
business of running it look back in
amazement at how we muddled through.
There was not much muddling on the
military end after Pearl Harbor That
was because, without reference to the
able personalities involved, the Army
and the Navy had the benefit of ex-
perience in perfecting staff organiza-
tions which functioned smoothly, there
by simplifying orderly policy making
and administration.
In contrast, the executive arm of the
Government in control of civilian affairs
lacked all staff experience. The lack of
it was at the root of most of the mud
ding, with a deplorably evident failure
of coordination between the civilian
war agencies themselves and between
these agencies and the military.
President Roosevelt, though he is said
to have possessed minute knowledge of
the Government machine, seems not to
have been good administrator. But he
knew the value of good administration
and hired some good administrators.
The primary fault probably lay in the
system-more accurately, the lack of
system-by which the executive branch
OF the Government has grown, getting
further and further away from ef-
f1ciently centralized direction with the
creation of every new, independent
agency.
A number of highly-placed men in
Government are giving serious thought
now to the correction, at their source, of
many of the faults in the executive
branch which were made so apparent
under the stress of war
They are doing this with two things
In mind:
% The same weaknesses in civilian
administrative organization which slowed
down the steps necessary to put the
country on a war footing, rejecting, at
times, rather chaotic spectacle in
Washington, may likewise retard us in
readjustment to peacetime economy.
(2) AS never before in our history
there is need for development of real
policy of national defense, involving
not merely the military branches, but
all branches of Government concerned
in the fulfllment of our suddenly-en-
larged responsibilities of maintaining
peace in the world.
Perfecting the Art of Team Work.
One of the major accomplishments of
the war was the creation, and the un-
interruptedly smooth performance there
after, OF the American Joint Chiefs of
Staf-Admiral Leahy, Gen. Marshall,
Admiral King and Gen. Arnold. That
joint staff ran the military side of the
war from Washington, making effective
unity of command. of strategic con-
ceptions and of supply services without

Washington business leaders. looking
to the years directly ahead as the Ma
tion converts from wartime to peace
time conditions, are highly optimistic,
believing that there will be no un-
employment here and that it is prob
able that the next decade will see the
National Capital and the surrounding
area enter into period of unprece-
dented prosperity.
This optimism arises out of something
more substantial than wishful thinking,
finding its source instead in two surveys
carried on by Opinion Research Corp.
OF Princeton, N. j., at the request of
the Postwar Planning Committee of
the Washington Board of Trade in CO.
operation with the Committee for Eco
nomic Development.
The first survey was to determine
the plans of residents in the WASH
ington area and the second to de-
termine the employment prospects and
plans of employers for expansion. Dur
ing this time 5000 persons of every
economic and social walk of life were
interviewed and filled out detailed
questionnaires.
The completed survey isn't foolproof
by any means. For example, a survey
can't foresee just how much money the
Government will spend for construction
of highways, bridges and other public
works here. This means lot to the
economic future Of the city. Neither
can the survey anticipate how many
people have changed their minds re-
garding their plans since the survey
was taken. Even with these limita-
tions. however, the survey can be used
as q reasonably faithful guide as to
what lies ahead Of us during the next
few critical years.
No Heavy Industrial Payrolls.
Washington is singularly fortunate
as the new era Of peace begins that
the basic employment Of its population
does not lie in manufacturing indus
tries as Is the case with most large
cities. Government employment is to
Washington what heavy Industrial em-
pioyment IS to most large communities.
This is two-way advantage. First,
It spares the city the rigors OF recon-
version as industry dismantles its plants
from war production to return to peace
