GOVERNMENT SPENDING

Government economists, raising their sights along with the price level and the wartime habit of lavish outlay are roughing out a program for public ex- pendture to smooth out the fluctuations of the bus- ness cycle On paper their program of public works is something to make New Deal spending look distinctly second-rate They are talking of a $40O.000 900 program.
 This, however should not frighten anyone, be- cause that would be spread over almost generation Their plan calls for average annual outlay of 1000 OOO This is approximately IA cent of the national income at current levels
 Actually there is nothing really new about this proposal It is substantially what Herbert Hoover sought to do in combating economic depression and what the Roosevelt Administration adopted as it's main weapon against unemployment and sagging prices It the of the recently enacted full employment bill
 Wisely planned, and ntelligently applied, pro- gram for large public works expenditure can be wholesome stabilizing factor in economy We need more highways more hospitals school buildings, more navigation and flood control works, arpors. These are all public enterprises. To them might be added subways in larger cities and grade crossing elninations Most of them projects which can be undertaken this year or year five years from now.
 To plan ahead and schedule such outlays in rela- .ion to the trend of employment and prices is sense. But the main point right is that 1946 is not the time for launching any such public works. Employment is at a high level prices high, materials scarce, and the trend is infationary. In two years, three five, the picture may be different. We have extensive unemployment, over- abundance of materials, and falling price level At that point these accumulated public works projects

good bet for his IVA job is lame duck Senator Bob LaFollette-un- less Wisconsin Democrats raise too much fuss. Washington is still waiting for Treasury Secretary John Snyder to break down and say something real about the stock market collapse. He refused to ans wer half a dozen questions on it at his press conference last week Henry Morgenthau was criticized for hanging around FDR, but Treasury officials estimate Snyder averages four trips day from his office across the street to the
 White House. . The Department If Agriculture, which last spring started sending cotton to German textile mills, is planning to send wool over soon. Payment is through exports of cloth from the German mills to other countries, usually European.

somebody is me, as Stabilization Di- rector
 Steelman explained that AFL carpenters were ready to announce a strike the following day unless the
 maritime dispute was ended; also shipyard workers on the west coast. In addition. Steelman said, 80000 lumber workers were prepared to begin a walkout.
 Well, the case is m your hands" /" replied WSB Chairman w. Willard Virtz. We have taken the position 've thought best. If you disagree with us, it's up to you to change it."
 Steelman replied that the "only course" left open to him was to reverse the WISE ruling and agree with the maritime commission, which was ready to grant higher wages. He explained that under the strict language of Truman exc cltive order issued last February, higher pay could be approved with out conflicting with the govern ment's stabilization policies, pro- yiding the government operated less than hall of the nations ship ping, and providing also a majority of private ship operators agreed to pay the wage increases without si- simultaneously boosting rates.

ADMIRAL ASKS FOR HELP

Steelman said he had contacted private ship operators and the mar time commission, and had been as- sured that both were willing to ab- sorb the additional labor costs.
 What he didn't tell his visitors was that he had just had a long telephone conversation with Vice Admiral w. w. Smith, Chairman of the Maritime Commission, in which Smith urged that Steelman overrule the Stabilization Board.
 Since the government is in the minority in this case, it is only fair that private operators should be allowed to fix their own pay scales" Admiral Smith contended There's no violation of the Sta- bilization program involved here, in my opinion. That's just a lot of poppycock."
 However, Steelman didn't need any reassurances either from Smith or from the private operators. He had decided that the seamen should be awarded raises above the $1750 approved by the WSB, and he made no bones about asserting his feelings.

COMMERCE DEPT. WILL ESTABLISH
 ALASKAN OFFICE

A field office of the Department of Commerce will be established in Alaska "at an early date the Alaska Development Board was mo- tified today by Secretary of Com merce Henry A. Wallace.
 Tt is my feeling,' Secretary Wal lace wrote, that the opening of a field office of the Department of Commerce would contribute much toward the development of the Territory

 The Governor of Alaska and Henry Clark, General Manager of the Alaska Development Board, urged Commerce officials last spring to open an Alaska office which would furnish advice and Depart- ment services to small business. Several weeks ago, George Sund- borg, who has been appointed to succeed Clark, met in Washington with the Commerce Departments Alaska Committee to discuss the matter further.
 Several Commerce Department agencies, including the Civil Aero nautics Administration, Weather Bureau, and the Bureau of the Census and Coast and Geodetic Survey, have been operating in Alaska for many years, but num- erous services of the Department have never been extended to the Territory before, owing to lack of general field office here.

sTEELMAN'S "SWEET-TALK"

Before announcing the new wage, increase for maritime strikers, Sta bilization Director John Steelman called in the Wage Stabilization Board and told them what he plan ned to do. He made it short but not sweet
 T didn't ask you over here to argue about the issues of this dis pute," he said, even before the WISE officials had settled in their chairs. If I wanted advice, we'd have to go all over this thing again, and we'd wind up where we started.

flung steel mil.s Arbed operated from Argentina to Brazil, but has headquarters in Luxembourg Thus when Hitler came into power, Arbed was all set for his munitions pro- gram. It went to town E. a big way.
 Arbeds head, appointed by the Nazls. was Aloyse Meyer. He re- mains head today. The American charge d'atfaires, in Luxembourg, George P. Waller, has sent a re- port. top secret No. 279. to the Treasury urging the unfreezing of Arbed's funds and claiming Meyer is not a Nazi
 Real fact, however is that Meyer was a district fuehrer for the entire steel industry in Luxembourg. In April l945, one month before VIE Day Meyer even refused an allied Investigation team access to the f.les of the international steel car tel. Iii January l945, when everyone knew Germany would be defeated he pretended to exile himself from Germany. That is why Waller sup ports him. But here is the payoff. During his brief exile, the Nazis continued to send him funds, so he couldn't have been much of Nazi enemy.
 , In other words, it looks as if Meyer were one of the many plants the Nazis arranged in foreign coun- tries to he in a position to recap ture their industry after the war was lost. It also looks as if certain naive gentlemen in high, unac- customed places in Washington were all set to let them recapture it.

 Amid signs that the small powers soon would abandon their fore doomed campaign to alter the LIN Charter. Sen. Tom Connally, tD.- Tex.), prepared the opening round in the Big Fives defense of their Security Council special voting privilege.
 Connally American representa- tive on the General Assembly S political committee. was slated to tell the 46 smaller United Nations that the Big Five stand united m their determination to prevent rec vision of the veto formula. He will imply the United States. Russia, Britain. France and China may try to work out among themselves the means of using the veto power more to the satisfaction of the smaller nations.
 Gromyko Waits For Rebuttal
 With Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko standing by to deliver Soviet Russia's rebuttal to the vio- lent small powers assault on the veto, Connally was expected to in- clude in his statement a between the lines criticism of Russia.
 Both the United States and Brit ain have contended privately thai the veto privilege is justified and necessary, but that Russia has mis- used it and thus provoked the re- criminations heaped upon the bie powers voting privilege at yester' days meeting Of the political com mittee. The Soviets are the prin' cipal target of the smaller coun' tries, too.
 Meanwhile the less sensationa but deeper conflict over the pro posed United Nations trusteeship program reached the bedrock stage A l7-nation subcommittee called it first meeting to try to hammer ou agreement on eight draft trustee ship agreements under which Brit ain, France, Australia, New ZeA | land and Belgium propose to be- come sole trustees over terTitorie they now rule under League Of Ma tions mandates.
