CentAGoIIon More Gas Tox

Hartford, Conn. Jan. 23-CUP)- An administration bill, creating a $1,000,000 fund to assist municipali- ties with their postwar projects planning, was submitted today to the general assembly.
 The bill authorized grants up to two per cent of the total cost of pro- jects for planning purposes, with an euua! amount to be contributed by the municipalities.
 The fund would be controlled by a committee on allocations, composed of the comptroller, commissioner of finance and control and the tax commissioner.
 For the purpose of making pre- liminary surveys, municipalities would be allowed up to one-half of one per cent of the estimated cost of construction and later, if the plans were approved, the full two per cent.
 The allocations committee would be authorized to accept grants from federal agencies for planning pur- poses, and to allocate any such grants among the states communi- ties.
 The bill contains recently made suggestions of the postwar planning commission which noted in a pre- liminary su.vey that $l36, ,000,000 worth of postwar construction now was being given definite considera- ton or was in the blueprint stage in the state.
 Rep. Eugene Latimer, R. Coventry. introduced number of highway bills, one calling for an increase of a cent a gallon in the state gaso- line ta>. The tax is now three cents De" gallon.

 Within View Of Bom Ban
By WILLIAM B. DICKINSON

General MacArthur's headquar- ters, Luzon, Jan. 23.-(UP)-Van- guards of the American 14th Corps drove to within sight of Bamban and the first of the Clark Field air. strips only 5 miles north of Ma nila today.
 Capas, four miles northeast Of Bamban and 56 miles north of Ma nila, efll yesterday in the swift American advance down the main highway to the Philippines capital and it appeared likely that Bam- ban also would be captured by dusk today.
 Resistance continued negligible. Though earlier reports indicated the Japanese might make stand at Bamban headquarters now an- ticipated no more than a delaying action. Optimism rose that all II of Clark Fields valuable airstrips soon may be in American hands.
 The Americans also further strengthened their eastern and western Hanks against the possibil- ity of a Japanese counter-attack as the invasion of Luzon went into its Third week.
 One column thrusting down the west coast of. Luzon beyond the Zambalos mountains reached Infan- ta, "A miles north of Bataan penin- sula, after clearing the entire Dasol Bay area.
 The eastern wing captured Guy apo, sent patrols onto nearby Mt. Balungao and beat off a Japanese Bnazai charge near Damortjs at the northeastern tip of the invasion area.
 General Douglas MacArthur dis closed that five divisions and a spe- cial regimental combat team-a to- tai of 75,000 to 100000 troops-were fighting on Luzon, divided into two corps.
 Experimenting the advance on Manila, Major General Oscar w. Griswold's 14th Corps captured both Capas, II miles south of Tarlac, and Santa Monica, eight and half miles east of Capas, yesterday.
 A dozen smaller villages were overrun in the advance and a front dispatch said patrols were probing the Bamban river valley within sight of both Bamban and Bamban (Continued on Page 4)

LABOR'S STAKE ABROAD

World peace depends largely upon
the maintenance of full employment
in economically advanced countries
and the industrial development and
reconstruction of backward and war
devastated countries. The best Sc
curity and non-agression pacts will
not prevent war unless they are back
ed up by vigorous measures to raise
the standard of living of the sigma
tory nations. The greatest danger to
peace lies in our tendency to ignore
this economic foundation.
After the war the expansion Of
world trade will be our chief peace
maker, since full employment at home
and industrial development abroad
greatly depend upon it. But world
trade in turn requires large foreign
loans and reasonably stable exchange
rates. Foreign markets will not grow
unless the countries Of the world
jointly plan their monetary and bank
ing arrangements after the war The
Breton Woods Conference began this
kind of planning.
The conference at Breton Woods
proposed an International Bank for
Development and Reconstruction and
an international Monetary Fund. The
International Bank, operating on the
principle of guaranteed loans employ
ed by the American F. H. A., would
greatly stimulate private long-term
lending for capital improvements and
reconstruction. But, as pointed out in
previous article, it may be neces-
sary to go much further than the
Breton Woods proposals by provid-
ing large-scale government loans and
outright gifts of capital equipment
even to the extent of ten or twenty
billion dollars year. Private capital
will probably not invest enough to
provide full employment through
foreign trade, since it has not provid-
ed sufficient investments for full en-
'ployment in domestic trade A foreign
as well as domestic public works
program will be needed.
Foreign trade also requires stable

varied, however, if their stability re-
duces domestic prosperity. After the
last war Great Britain tried to main
tain the value of the pound at the
pre-war ratio of little less than five
dollars to the pound British pounds
were relatively expensive and in or
der to encourage the purchase of
British goods, which had to be paid |

ers in other countries" Ornburn says
in the american Federationist, at be
comes difficult to understand the en-
thusiasm for free trade
Hasty Action Dangerous
"It is possible that over a long
period Of time tariffs can be gradu-
ally lowered To create a greater ok
change Of goods, but sudden demoli-
tion Of our protective walls right
after the war, resulting in an influx
of goods made by ill-paid labor
abroad, would be ruinous to Ameri-
can wage earners."
Ornburn goes on TO write
at is well to recall that at the very
height Of Americas foreign trade ex-
ports were never greater than 10 per-
cent Of u. S. production If we un-
dertook to see to it that all citizens
Of our own nation were well housed,
well clothed and well fed, we could
easily absorb the equivalent Of the
goods we sold abroad during our best
export year.
"Assuredly one of the most vital
problems Of organized labor during
the postwar period will be to main
tain American wages. We are all
Americans first. We must also be
alert, realistic trade unionists. OF
course, America should do everything
it can to help war-ravaged nations

ed labor approve Of such assistance

for in pounds by other countries, Brit
ish prices in pounds had to fall Fall
ing prices discouraged business. De
flation fostered depression and in
1882 Great Britain abandoned the
gold standard partly to "cheapen" the
pound, stimulate foreign trade, and
encourage domestic business by al
low prices to rise. Many countries in
i cluding Germany and Japan had
learned that by cheapening their
money in terms of the money of other
countries they could both stimulate
foreign trade and raise prices and
production at home. The nations ruth
lessly competed with each other by
cheapening their money because they
had no orderly plan Of world trade
development.
These plans for monetary stability
developed at Breton Woods deserve
the support of organized labor. They
are by far the most realistic parts of
the Anglo American Russian eco
nomic planning to date. If the rest of
the postwar economic planning were
as complete many of our worries
could be forgotten.
International trade, however, will
depend basically on government in
vestment. Long-term investments will
be needed to maintain full employ
ment and to prevent war Sound
monetary management, whether the
term applies to domestic currency or
to foreign exchange, will not guaran-
tee either full employment or peace.
Government investments at home and
abroad must be relied upon as the
only device by which full employment
can be guaranteed

increase their wages. But we must
not allow the wages of American
workers 70 be pushed down.
"As Americans and trade unionists
it is our primary duty to keep our
attention riveted on the task of main
tanning our own high American
standards"
Secretary Ornburn says in conclu-
sion that to sustain American wages,
hours and conditions there is no plan
like consistent purchase of union
label goods and services.
"The purchase of union label pro-
ducts stabiizes our economy and Gre
ates greater security" he says. "The
increased purchasing power derived
from union wages is the main factor
in maintaining our security as we'll
as the American standard of living"
