Investment Capital High In Nation
 Adequate To Move
 peacetinle Economy
 0f Full Employment

New York, May Exhibition and investment capital needed by American business to move to a peacetime economy with high en- ployment is available in adequate amounts, although there may be a possible lack of equity money, Prof Charles c. Abbott of Harvard Uni versity said today.
 Abbott, associate professor o1 business economics in Harvard's $ graduate school of business ad- ministration, said that while the aggregate funds that business could tap appear to be ample, there also is a need for greater fexibility in short-term and intermediate credit, and an opportunity as well as a need for local underwriting of small business
 In a report prepared for the Committee for Economic Develop ment, the professor assumed that $6,000 of investment is needed, on the average, to create business job. With minimum employment goal of nearly 100000 jobs over the immediate prewar level, an ad- ditional investment of some $65,- COG, 100000 may be needed in the transition period. Of this amount $50, ,O00, ,O00, 900 likely will be required for fixed assets and $15 ,000, ,000, ,00C for current assets
 He cited as available to meet this demand the large volume of cash and cashable items in the hands ot many corporations; the retained earnings of business concerns which have become an increasingly im- portant source of financing; the greatly increased funds held by fl- nancial institutions other than commercial banks; and the lend- ing capacity of commercial banks.
 ''T'he wartime financial develop ment that is perhaps more signifi- cant for the future than any other is the tremendous amount of liquid assets accumulated by individual persons" he added.
 Abbott, as means of tapping in- dividual funds, suggested develop ment of new methods of merchan- diSing securities with proper safe- guards for small investors. Two- thirds or more of the liquid assets accumulated by individuals during the war appear to be in the hands of persons in low and lower middle income brackets.
 He also asked for revision of the tax structure "in such a way as to encourage risk taking and profit making is the most important single action public policy can take to open up the flow of new money in- vestment and equity capital"

Trieste is a national feeling in Italy" he said. Even the Commuh- ists had to change their attitude. We won't sign . peace that denies us just settlement of this front fer. If there is no agreement, mili- tary occupation should continues
 Thanks to the Americans, he said, the Paris conference was rescued from complete failure by the new Italian armistice. He added, how ever, that Italy does not yet know the full details.
 "rt may be very good, but it is impossible to say yet because so far we have only the frame of the pie ture," he said. "The picture itself includes the economic question as to the occupation and acquisition expenses. Until we know the con- ditions and manner of executing them, we won't know the practical value of the new armistice."

Banker Feurs State Trade
 Approves British
 Loan as EIf1ergemeV

Washington, May 24 = (UP) - Charles s. Dewey, vice-president ot the Chase National Bank of New York, said the proposed $3,75O, ,O0O,- 900 loan to Britain was the one hope of stopping worldwide move hent toward controlled trade dominated by Russia.
 Unless the loan is approved, he said, this country may become a hermit nation" surrounded by a world made unfriendly by Ohsta- cles to the free flow of trade"
 Dewey, assistant secretary of Treasury in the Hoover Adminis- tration and one-time Illinois Con- gressman, testified before the House Banking Committee considering the Senate-approved loan bill.
 He said the political and business economy of the United States is threatened with exclusion from trade agreements by . group ot nations bent on state control ot trade. The group, he said, was dom- mated by Russia.
 There are three business ideol- ogies existent in the world today the Soviet system, our own free en- terprise system and third which is neither one nor the other, Dewey told the committee.
 The latter system, he said, conn- prised bilateral agreements between England, her colonies and domin- ions and 18 other nations which were set up as defense mechan- ism due almost entirely to the dis dressing economic condition. they face as result of the war"

BY J. EDWARD MURRAY

Rome, May M-CUP)-PremleI Alcide de Gasperi appealed to the United Nations today to back Italy's claim to Trieste if other means ot settling the Italo- YugoSlav border dispute fail.
 In an exclusive interview with the United Press De Gasperi said neith- CT his government nor any popular ly elected Italian government of the future would sign a peace treaty that gave Trieste or too much oi Venezia Giulia Province to Yugosla- via.
 If the thorny problem was not set- tled-to Italy's satisfaction. he in- timated-" there would be a new Danzig, and that would bring an- other war;" the premier asserted.
 Wants All Nations To Say
 Discussing the Italian border problem and the new armistice for an hour and @ half in his Palazzo Chigi office, De Gasperi said:
 'If four nations cannot agree on the all-important VeneMa Giulia problem, then 2l should try, and if that fails, all the nations together should try to reach 8 settlement. Only in this way can we realize that we have worked for peace"
 He referred to the failure of the recent Paris conference of 'Big 4" foreign ministers to master the bor- der problem. Then he echoed the argument of U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who sought to fix Q date for 8 full dress peace con- ference, that "a larger international body must take up the question"
 "Is there or is there not United NationS-this organization of which so much has been said and which is supposed to be working for in- ternational justice?" he asked rhet- orically.
 Feels Trieste A Test
 "The Big 4" very serious interests are involved in this zone, and there fore they did not succeed in reach- ing an agreement. Therefore an in- ternational settlement among them is impossible. Representatives of all the nations must create internation- al collaboration.
 He emphasized that Italy was un- able to accept any of the border lines through Venezis Giulia that were proposed at Paris. He said the French line. which Byrnes at one point was ready to accept, was very curious, because 1t deprives Italy of much Italian territory" The American line, he observed, cuts off the Gorizia cemetery from the town itself.
 If all the nations cannot settle the Italo- Yugoslav border problem, he said, 1t should be presented to an international court for impartial judsment.

ReUielOs High Spots
 Innocent Finds Europe Utopia Compared to U. s.

mind, now that I've almost finished the grand tour of Europe and abou to catch a Pan-American Clipper for home. So let us consider some European inventions that still have not penetrated the United States: In London there is an amazing new window for automobiles. N cranks. No gears. No machinery al all. You just lift it up or push il down, as you would a window 1T your living room. Simple, hey, De. troit;
 Comfort Comes Deluxe
 All Paris elevators have seats And why not? They come in handy for wayfarers from Montmartre like me. Every first class passenger aboard the Golden Arrow, de luxe London to Paris train, has a foot. stool Mighty comfortable. The Paris bartender doesn't worry about how much you owe. He serves each glass of rum an saucer, then he counts the Saucers.
 When you get strawberries and cream in Roman restaurant, the waiter brings spoon and fork. In Belgium you eat your vegetables with a butter knife. This is easier than a fork, obviously, and since it's dull there isn't much chance of cutting your lip.
 Italian haberdashers include with every shirt an extra collar and two extra cuffs for your wife to sew on when the originals wear out. The arms of most French easy chairs unhinge to reveal your smoking to- bacco and pipe.
 Order a sandwich in Rome and the man brings you. a plate of as- sorted ones which he has counted beforehand. Then he charges you for the ones you eat.
 Innovations Beneficial
 Throughout Europe the hot water pipes come out in the open to form racks for the bathroom towels. There's nothing finer than a hot towel on 8 cold morning. Italians use pottery dinner plates sunk in concrete walls as decorations for their houses. The effect is hand some.
 The British Overseas Aircraft Corporation, which brought me from Brussels to London on the next to last lap of my journey. pro- duced two amazing innovations. The coffee was hot. The pilot pre- stunned that the passengers were not so many potatoes in sacks and sent us back bulletins about where we were, how high, how fast we were going, and what the temperature was outside.
 European books are cheap be- cause they have paper covers like magazines. If you want to keep them after you've read them, you can buy your own binding in colors of your own choosing. When a bell- boy in Brussels pages a citizen, you think he goes around yelling in other peoples ears? He circuIates with the name chalked on a big blackboard, tinkling 8 small bell as he goes.
 When you buy something from anyone anywhere in Europe, he says thanks and smiles as if he means 1t. Even if you decide not to buy 1t, he says thanks for coming in. For one solid month nobody has snarled at me. Sounds like Utopia. Guess I'd better get back to reality in the U.S.A. before forget how 1t feels to be bawled out by a cop.

Russia Tries ToGet Timino Georin US.
 JeWelIed Watch
 Industry Refuses
 War "Kn0W-h0w'

Washington, May 24-(UP)-The Senate Finance Committee was told that Russia has been trying, so far without success, to get the war r-use- full ''know-how" of the American jeweled watch industry. Walter w. Cenerazzo of Waltham, Mass, president of the American Watch Workers Union, said the So- viet government had been trying to buy machinery and know-how in return for orders for the next five years"
 'The only two sources of timing mechanisns in the world" he added, are Switzerland and the United States"
 Fears ScuttIing Cenerazzo testified in behalf of a resolution sponsored by Sens. Lever ett Saltonstall, R.-Mass.), David I. Walsh, (D., Mass.), and Thomas c. Hart, R.-Conn.), calling for spe- cial committee investigation to find out whether the American jewelled watch industry needs protection against excessive imports of Swiss movements.
 Cenerazzo said the American in- dustry will be "scuttled" if current import quotas are allowed to stand
 'Tf you kill this industry, you will be dependent on Switzerland, and if another war comes, the country that controls Switzerland will rule the world" he said.
 Ceneraz9o said Russia was turned down by the three U. s. manufactur- CTS 1t approached in the search for 'know-how."
 Assertion Challenged
 'They said mo- as they should have said," he testified.
 Sen. Brien McMahon, O.- Conn sharply challenged Cenerazzo's as- Sertion that the manufacturers should have" turned Russia down.
 T don't believe that Russia is a friend of the United States-if you want to know my reason" the witt ness replied angrily.
 The witness later was reproved by Saltonstall for testifying that Pres ident Truman had lent his sigma ture to deliberate lie." n
 The union president referred to 8 letter sent by MT. Truman to Rep. Pehr G. Holmes, R.-Mass.), in which he rejected assertions that Swiss watches had been dumped" on the American market during the war. The President wrote:
 "The Army and Navy departments as well as the War Production Board encouraged these imports and, at times, requisitioned up to 50 per- cent of them to meet the require ments of the armed forces"
 Hits Double Action
 Cenerazzo said "that statement is a deliberate lie under the signature of the President of the United States, although he had nothing to do with the he-it was prepared for him by the State Department"
 Cenerazzo said that Switzerland equipped German factories to "pro- duce tiny meohanisms to kill our boys" during the war, yet they can walk into the State Department and get agreements that will scuttle our industry"
 The Swiss recently agreed to ex- port only 7,70OO00 watch movements to this country in the year ending next March 31, although by law they were permitted to send as many as they liked. Cenerazzo said this fig ure should be cut to 2,1OO,OOO.
