The same British publication fur
Their discloses:
"The organization might be ex-
banded still further for the convent
ence of dominion air line operators
and eUen for foreign lines rOishing to
use British planes and equipment"
In fact, says the Daily Mail:
A powerful cooperative scheme

DLAINLY, American foreign trade
l. planners are going to find them
selves competing with EXPERTS in
the postwar field of international
commerce.
1t will stand them in good stead
to BECOME EXPERTS on their
own account, for it is the considered
and competent opinion of American
authorities best informed about this
situation that FIVE MILLION
AMERICANS WILL DEPEND ON
FOREIGN TRADE FOR THEIR
POSTWAR LIVING.
And much more than American
prosperity will depend on realization
of our advantages and opportunities
in our future commerce with other
nations, for as Mr.. John w. Davis,
vice president and trustee of the
Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace, has said:
"Our exports of American goods
after the Uar, With their related i'm
ports. tUiH not only assure us an ex-
banding trade that rDill be reflected
in prosperity at home-such trade
DW serUe in practical Ooy to
cement our friendly relations Nth
the nations of the DorId."
The House merchant marine COM
mittee, in it's advocacy of an Ameri-
can ship air foreign trade policy
preserving the advantages and OPP
portunities accruing to us by reason
of our present great maritime and
aviation establishments and our even
greater productive capacities, has
demonstrated commendable under
standing of It's responsibilities.

A Blueprint for Postwar
Prosperity
(Folooing Is the Third of Series of Five Articles)
By MERRYLE STANLEY RUKEYSER


DEING voluntary rather than regimented
ID system, the American way has been predi-
Gated on enabling workers. farmers and other pro-
ducers-and their families-to consume each year
the bulk of what they produced.
This was a phase of the INCENTIVE SYS-
TEN, in which men were induced to become
MORE productive through the lure of rewards.
In order to achieve this objective through the
golden decades of national expansion and develop
ment, the people succeeded in HOLDING DOWN
the cost OF government, national, state and local.
Thus it was unnecessary to divert, through
taxation, any sizable ratio of the total production
and income of producing citizens.
For example, at the beginning of World War,
the total federal debt was only billion dollars
TN THE pre-World War period, there had been
l. no need for an income tax to feed prodigal
governmental Spenders.
Now we are doing these things in bigger, if
not better way
The spirit of the times was recently depicted
by cartooniSt He sketehed treasury clerk en-
gagged in telephone conversation with another
bureaucrat, saying: Thanks billion"
Under the new regime of squandermania, the
cost of government to the national economy has
become unprecedentedly high. In wartime gov
eminent takes 90 per cent of all production.
Nobody objects to the government spending what
time with ninimum-loss of precious American
lives
BUT UNLESS OUR WAY OF LIFE IS TO
BE RADICALLY CHANGED, IT IS M
PORTANT AFTER THE, WAR TO HOLD GOV
ERNMENTAL SPENDING IN CHECK
The multitude of citizens will not be interested
in the problem if it is narrowly expressed in terms
of protecting the special privileges of the rich.
THE need for governmental economy must be
i couched in terms Of the selfnterest of the
AVERAGE MAN.
Wasteful governmental spending and result
ing onerous taxes restrict the area OF economic
freedom, and discretion of the average citizen.
The CUSTOMER IS THE BOSS in turning
thumbs douOn thumbs up, the may be in
respect to products and services offered by private
business. But, as the government in,pinges on the
field of economic octiUity it DERIVES the citizen
of freedom of choice.
The citizen must take and pay for all the serv-
ices carried on by government.
DOR example, as a taxpayer, am compelled to
l. contribute in a modest way to the salary of
Harold l.. Ickes whether | like it or not. And
frankly don't like it.
Coectivization deprives citizens to a degree,
of the freedom to select goods and jobs of their
own choosing.
They exercise free choice only with that part
of their net income which remains AFTER
TAXES have been paid.
Freedom of choice constitutes basic in
gredent of American economic greatness,
If Ue rOant to bretO the broth of postwar pros.
perity rOe must be sure to put into the economic
pot the ingredients Which experience has shoUn to
be resultful.

Hawaii Mars Salvage
Job Near Completion
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
ROCK HALL, Md, Aug. 9.-The
task of breaking into pieces the
72h ton Hawaii Mars, which crash
landed and sank in Chesapeake
Bay two weeks after her formal
launching, was expected to be fin
ished today.
Divers hooked cables to the tail
section yesterday and 1t was hoisted
clear Of the water, and starting the
job of breaking away the fuselage
behind the wing. The salvage men
said it was impossible to cut the
ship with torches because of high
octane gasoline still in the tanks.
Approximately one-third of the
plane was hauled clear Of the waves
during the afternoon, and some
equipment salvaged from the rear
compartment.
The Hawaii Mars lost part of her
vertical tail fin while undergoing
engineering tests at 5000 feet and
made a trough landing" splitting
her hull and sinking in 20 feet Of
water.
The divers said only the last
30 feet Of the tail section of the ship
was intact, the rest being smashed
in the landing. Still in the forward
part of plane are cameras which
were recording readings of precision
instruments during the Sunday
tests. However, salvagers said they
feared the films were ruined by salt
water.

Catholic Committee
Raps BiIbo' S Conduct
In FEPc Bill Fight
Iy the Associated Press.

Jy the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Com
mittee of Catholics for Human
Rights today told Senator Bilbo,
Democrat, of Mississippi, "Your con-
duct is q chilling deterrent to the
worldwide belief that America is
the symbol of demoratic freedom
and human rights"
The committee, whose national
chairman Is Senator Murray, Demo-
crat, of Montana, said in its letter:
'It Is q blow to the international
reputation Of these United States to
demonstrate that member of the
United States Senate openly dis
parages his fellow Americans who
have sprung from the soil of many
lands, now liberated from a tyrrany
whose basic tenet was the inferior
ity of all others than its adherents."
Asked to Rectify Impression.
The letter asked Senator Bilbo to
"rectify this impression which can
only aid every Cause that is counter
to human decency and internal &C
cord"
"In a recent letter you brought
to bear as an attack upon your fell
low Americans of the Jewish faith
the charge that their race denied
and crucified Christ" The letter
continued.
I'm this instance, many Protestant
and Catholic citizens are disturbed
by your exploitation of a profound
and deeply metaphysical theological
doctrine for political contention.
Called Reply to Attack.
"For common in many Christian
congregations Is the paramount con-
viction that Christ died for the sins
of mankind willingly, to expiate for
the sins of both you and me-the
sins of person and the sins which
we may do to society"
The committee made the letter
public here, saying that it was a re-
ply to "Bilbos attacks against men,
bers of the Catholic clergy, Jews,
Negroes and Italians who support
permanent Fair Employment
Practices Act"
Among its members are Gov.
Frank j. Lausche of Ohio and As
sociate Justice Murphy of the Su-
preme Court.

LIGHT Selling Stems
|Siocks After Rise
10 New Peaks
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Light SELL
ing stemmed the rise In stocks to-
day after the market had touched
another new average peak since
1887 on relatively heavy volume.
Rail and industrial leaders were
out In front at the start. Gains,
for the most part, were modest.
Dealings, fast during the forenoon,
tapered after midday. Prices for
selected steels and motors stinened
near the close but, while plus marks
were plentiful. declines of fractions
we're we'll distributed. Transfers
ran to 1900, 900 shares.
The great reservoir of idle cash
waiting for investment opportuni-
ties still was the main bolstering
trend influence. Earnings and divi-
dends continued helpful to senti-
ment. Many customers, though,
reverted to caution because OF the
feeling that the lengthy forward
swing may have left the market q
6rifle exhausted and in shape for q
technical correction. The war news
was. considered more bullish than
otherwise.
Resistant were U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, Youngstown Sheet, General
Motors, American Telephone, South
ern Pacific, Great Northern, Good

Eastman Kodak and Johns-M Man
