BRUSH import problem followed
closely that given to newspapefmen
by Lord Keynes at 3 press confer
erice two weeks ago.
In detailing the effects OF war on
his country, Lord Halifax said Brit
ain was handicapped by a lack Of
manpower, having suffered $40 900
casualties out Of population OF A.
000, COO and having modified a
greater proportion OF its people than
any Of the other United Nations.
More than.a quarter OF all houses
in the United Kingdom, he said,
have been destroyed or damaged.

He also recalled that Britain had
made heavy inroads on its gold re-
serves and foreign investments be-
fore the days Of lease-lend to finance
purchases Of munitions and food
abroad, $4,000. 000, 900 having been
spent in the United States. He also
reminded Americans that as a re-
suit of lease-lend imports of con-
sumption goods, Britain had made
its island an arsenal and neglected
manufactures for export.

power and our plants to the single

now, when victory is won, our for

and we are still 100000 people
living on a small island, and only
able to work or live 50 long as we
can import.

we can pay. We can only pay by
our exports or by services like ship

Comparing Britain's economic po-
sition now with the military one
following the retreat at Dunkirk
Lord Halifax said that it was Sc
rious" but mot desperate" and
added:
Il haven't the least doubt we shall
pull through that, as we pulled
through in 1870"
With regard to the recent cleo
tons in Britain which resulted in
the downfall of Winston Churchill's
Conservative cabinet and the rise
Of Labor government under Prime
Minister Clement Attlee, the Ambas-
sador said they should not be inter-
preted as a sign Of ingratitude to
the war leader. Britains, he pointed
out, vote for party and not for
a man."
He (Churchill has place In

Lord Halifax also took occasion
to assure Americans that the Labor

The Army's spokesman have told
congressional handlers of military

They base their pessimism on the
history of recruitment following
other wars.
Navy spokesman have told Con-

given its figures, but best estimates
range from a regular force of $780,
600 men if universal training is
adopted to 100000 if there is nc

That's a total Of approximately

Miss Eunice Kennedy, %, daugh-

17-year-old volunteers at a time
when the Army minimum and the
draft minimum were 10. Thousands
Of boys, unwilling to wait until they
were 10 to be drafted and assigned
to whatever service needed them
at that time, made their own choice
by enlisting in the Navy.
AT the very best" a War Depart
ment spokesman said, Eve don't look
for more than 100000 enlistments,
and We'll be tickled to get 100000.
The Navy will do well to keep 800, 900

The full effect of the recruitment
drive won't be felt until early next

must decide how big postwar Army

Recourses Open.
If the recruitment drive fails,
Army spokesman contend, Con-
gress must decide to continue the
wartime draft beyond its expiration
date Of next May Is; enact peace
time straightaway draft for mill
tary service, adopt universal mili-
tary training mot service, or cut
the Army and the Navy down to
what they call dangerous low.
There is no inclination now on the
part of Congress to extend the draft
law or to enact a straightaway
peacetime draft. Neither is therc.
much sentiment for universal trat -
ing for 10 and 10 year olds.
Far from being dead" the r my
spokesman said, universal training
is becoming more alive than ever

ment for big Army and Navy in
the postwar period. The issue is
going to be simple next summer:
There either will be universal train
ing or there will be a small Army

Halifax Carries Plea
For Financial Aid
To People on Radi.
BIZ JOsEPH H. RAIRp.

Presenting Great Britain's case
for financial assistance in reorgan-
izing its postwar economy directly
to the American people, Lord Hall
fax. the British Ambassador, last
night urged them to make our
partnership as great power for
peace as 1t has been for war"
The Ambassador. who, with Lord
Keynes, British Treasury advisor,
has been negotiating with American
ofilcials for the last 10 days for a
multibillion dollar credit here. spoke
over the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
He made no specific proposals,
but outlined in detail the losses and
economic sufferings OF his war
weary nation and emphasized Brit
aims need Of restoring its foreign
trade.
Prewar Trade Stressed.
On the positive side, Lord Hall
fax reminded Americans that be-
fore the war Great Britain was
their best customer, taking about
$500 ,000. 900 worth OF this country's
exports annually. And, he continued,
when you have satisfied the &C.
cumulated demands of your own
consumers, you will be looking for
markets outside"
This reminder was coupled with
an exposition of two solutions Lord
Halifax saw for Great Britain's di-
lemma, posed by the wartime loss
Of a large part Of its foreign trade
and the radical deterioration of its
industry.
One choice, he said, was for Brit
ain to continue its wartime trade
controls--"to cultivate our own gar
den"-buying as much from the
sterling area" as possible and lin
lting its purchases of goods for which
dollar exchange was needed.
Controls, Barriers Possible.
THAT means controls, barriers
and restrictions" he said. 1T may
not be the best solution, but If 1t
seems to be the only way out,
whether we want to or not, we may
have to take it.
THE other solution is that you
and we should try to see If we can't
work out something together that
will make for freer and expanding
world trade, in the belief that if
we can get this, in the long run
everybody will be better Off"
This statement was interpreted to
mean that If Britain can obtain a
substantial amount of dollar ex-
change from the United States, 1t
will make stable purchases here
and liberalize its trade policies. One
thing on which American negoti-
ators have been insisting is that If
assistance is given the United
Kingdom, it must agree to break
down the empire preference" tariff
system and give American ex-
porters access to empire markets
on more favorable tariff terms.

The Epes family-who sat directly
behind the defendant-showed no
visible sign of emotion at the verdict.
The case reached its climax with
out the defendant taking the stand.
The defense, unexpectedly, de-
cided to offer no testimony.
BY this maneuver the defense,
besides opening the argument to
the jury, also got in the last ap-
pearance before the jury, with Mr.
Brown making an imprisoned
plea.
He reiterated the defense con-
tention that the State, despite a
long parade of witnesses, had failed
to produce any evidence which went
beyond Espes' own statement to
officers when he was arrested last
February.
Admitted Burying Wife.
Espes at that time admitted that
in a moment of panic he buried his
wife in an abandoned foxhole on
the Fort Jackson reservation after
she died from an overdose of seda-
tive.
He steadfastly denied, however,
that he was responsible for the
death of his young wife who came
here from her job at Jacksonville,
Fla, to be with him before he went
overseas.
Epes said his wife and he had had
a few drinks and that she took
several sodium seconal tablets. When
he woke up and found her dead, he
said, he became panicky
Called Gold Blooded"
Solicitor T. Pou Taylor, who made
the States closing summation, asked
for the death penalty. He termed
Epes cold blooded murdered.
He said that >as final insult to
his wife, Epes placed over her grave
marker, "Latrine Closed,'' so that
the Army would never dig it up.
Mr.. Taylor, like other members
of the prosecution counsel, dwelt at
length on Epes' letters to Miss
Kingsland, daughter of a promi-
nent Mississippi family.
Epes Letters Recorded.
The letters to the society BELLE war
plant chemist-52 in As days-whom
he met while on maneuvers in
Louisiana, were entered in the trial
record.
The defendant admitted spending
"platonic" week end with the girl
the State calls the -"other woman in
the case" in a New Orleans hotel.
1t was two weeks between the
times Epes reported his wife mys-
seriously missing and the day

flicted razor wounds, he led officers

the cramps probably were due to a

both cramps and vomiting during
