Trade Help

In what the British termed "a
magma carta for world trade" the
Truman administration replied to
their appeal for a loan to permit
an orderly resumption Of their for
eign commerce by agreeing to an
advance of "A billion dollars subject
to congressional approval.
Flatly turning down British pro-
posals for an outright grant on the
strength Of arguments that their
early stand had prevented a Nazi
victory, the administration agreed to
spread the loan over a 50-year pc
Rod at a 2 per cent interest rate,
first payable in 1851.
AS a result Of the loan, Britain
will be able to pay off wartime
debts by shipment Of finished
goods to creditor nations. while still
importing material to maintain an
adequate living standard. The two
countries also pledged to work for a
reduction in tariffs and the elimina-
ton Of quotas and other restrictions
on world trade.

FARM
CED Solutions

Broader vocational training, spe-
cial types of rural employment
services and an accelerated shift
of manufacturing into country areas
would materially assist in the in
creased use Of surplus farm labor
in industry and help solve one If
the primary problems of agricul-
ture. the Committee for Economic
Development declared in a state
ment released by Chester Davis,
CED vice chairman and presi-
dent of the Federal Reserve Bank Of
St. Louis.
With agriculture destined to look
more and more to the cooperative
effort of government for assistance
in resolving problems arising from
heavy mechanical production and
pressure on commodity prices, the
CED foresaw a need for three types
OF federal payments within the near
future: I'd to enable farmers in de-
pressed regions like the cotton belt
to shift to other crops or occupa-
tons; cd to compensate operators
for the effect of severe industrial
depressions, and CD to permit reali-
cation of the government pledge to
support farm prices for two years
after the war.
In reference to ~long-range price
policy, CED asked for re-examina-
ton Of the whole cost system, be-
ginning with a redeffnition of parity
in relation to existing conditions.

u. S. DIPLOMACY:
CHARGES Doubled Dealing

In one of the most boisterous con-
gressional hearings Of recent years.
willy, silver-haired Maj. Gen. Pat
rick Hurley ripped into the state
department career men for their al
legged interference with his efforts 70
unity China and establish it as a
base for far eastern political stabil-
ity.
Alternately calm and heated. Hur-
ley, recently resigned as ambassa-
dor to Chungking. told the SEN
ate foreign relations committee that
during his discussions with Chinese
communists he concluded that GER
tain state department officials had
convinced the Reds that his policy
for unifying the country under
Chang Kai-shek would be strapped.
Instead, the officials were said to
have declared that the U. S. would
seek to stabilize Asia with a con-
trolled Japanese empire.
In hitting at the career men, Hur-
ley charged that they sided with inn
perialist Great Britain, France and
the Netherlands for keeping the
orient divided to. permit the con-
tinued exploitation of the subject
people.
In alleging underhanded state

PEARL HARBOR:
Prepared: Marshall

Declaring THAT American military
forces in Hawaii were 0 ade-
quately equipped than at any other
installation in the army, Gen. George
c. Marshall, former U. S. chief of
staff, told the congressional commit
tee investigating the Pearl Harbor
disaster that he felt Maj. Gen. Wal
ter Short was prepared to meet a
surprise attack On quick notice.
Rejecting general military opin-
ion, however, Marshall testified that
he did not expect a japanese at
tack on the big base, even though
both the army and navy were aware
that enemy spies there were for
warding information on fleet move
ments in Pearl Harbor to Tokyo.
A conservative Japanese thrust
southwark to Thailand and Malaga
was anticipated, Marshall related.
Acknowledging receipt of Shorts
reply to Marshall warning of pos
sible hostilities sent on November
81, the ex-chief of staff said special
attention was not called to the fact
that the Hawaiian commander had
only reported alerting his forces
against sabotage without mention
ing other preparations.
Regarding u. S., British, Dutch
and Canadian pre-Pearl Harbor
discussions, Marshall said their
purpose primarily concerned the de-
feat Of Germany rather than Japan.
In a message to President Roose-
welt sometime in the summer Of
1941, the former chief of staff opined
that the Allies could not defeat the
Nazis with supplies alone, but large
ground forces would be required.

LABOR:
Truman Scare

Because President Truman's pro-
posal for the creation of fact-fnding

have thrown a scare into both CAPT.

the CLOS United Automobile Work

negotiations over the unions de-
mands for a 80 per cent wage in

At the same time, expert observ-

Points Up Lack of Modern U. S. RoadWays

Only 6 per cent of the $4,000 miles of primary rural highways in

engineer director of the American Road Builders association, revealed.
1t will surprise many that in 1913 we had only 20 1873 miles of roads with
more than two lanes, Of which 1861 were three lanes he said.
Americas mileage in more than twolane highways is far more
limited than most people realize and much Of this is not OF a high type
