World Bank Issue S
Distribution Cited as
Bankers Big Job
By Edword c. Stone

Distribution of the first issue Of
about $3.50, ,000,000 of World Bank
debentures, slated for June or July,
is the most important Job ahead for
investment bankers and security
dealers in the coming months, Ed
ward Hopkinson, IT,, president Of
the Investment Bankers Association
of America, told the Board Of Gov
ernors of the Association Of Stock
Exchange Firms in the Wardman
Park Hotel last night.
Mr.. Hopkinson said he considered
the World Bank to be an important
long-te factor in easing the in
ternational tensions that now exist,
and that under its present leadership
the bank is beginning to make en-
couraging progress in its dual role
of lender and borrower. He Is con-
WINGED the bank is making every
effort to issue a security that will
be acceptable to American investors.
Schram Urged Production.
At the same dinner meeting, Emil
Schram, president Of the New York
Stock Exchange, urged harder work,
greater production and tangible sup
port of Secretary Marshall's efforts
toward lasting peace at all the
council tables of the world. He also
vividly outlined the part the New
York exchange plays in national
stability.
The theory that there is some
magical formula whereby men can
produce less and get more has been,
to some extent, ~ exploded, Mr..
Schram asserted. It needs more ex-
ploding, he said.
The monetary requirements Of
modern industry are far too great
to be assumed by limited group,
the speaker continued. The New
York Stock Exchange Is the In
dispensible instrument OF board
marketability. he declared. without
risk taking, this would be q different
world, he said-a world OF hand
power, small units, long hours and
lower living standards.
Hits Millionaire "Hunch."
Self-regulation has become an in
tegraI element In the conduct Of the
exchange, and the exchange has
pioneered in the task of making
available to the investor facts on
which sound judgment can be based,
he said
Mr.. Schram declared the person
who goes into the stock market with
the erroneous idea that he can
emerge millionaire through ex-
ercise of hunch and grapevine In
formation is facing disaster.
Another speaker was John A.
Coleman, retiring chairman of the
New York Stock Exchange Board Of
Governors.
Among the guests were Security
Exchange commissioners, members
of Congress, World Bank officials
and many Washington fnanciers.
John j. McCloy and Eugene Black
of the World Bank and Secretary Of
the Treasury Snyder were given
ovations. The speakers were intro

Truman Should Offer
Plan 10 Fight Initiation,
House Leaders Say
BY The Assoeioted pfsss

The Republican chairmen OF
two House committees which
deal with economic matters to-
day challenged President Tru-
mans assertion that there hasn't
been much cooperation from
Congress to prevent boom and
bust.
They said he should tell Con-
gress what he wants.
But the Democratic whip in that
chamber backed up the Chief Execu-
tive, declaring the Republicans have
been paving the way for a depres-
sion by killing OPA, practicing
false economy and offering con-
fused leadership"
Follow Party Lines.
Thus comment followed party
lines after Mr.. Truman told his
news conference yesterday there is
no necessity for bust provided
/, common sense Is used and greedy
people do not get control.
He added there hasn't been much
cooperation along that line legis-
latively or publicly.
: He said prices still are too high,
but he praised the price reductions
that have been made.
Chairman Knutson Of the House
! Ways and Means Committee took
immediate exception to the state
ment concerning legislative Coop
! Grafton, telling reporters:
"It's an old, old game for the
White House to blame Congress. The
President should furnish Congress
with blueprint. Congress has done
everything possible to halt an infia-
ton spiral"
Duty of President.
And Chairman Wolcott Of the
! House Banking Committee COM
mented:
'It is the duty of the President
to report from time to time on the
state Of the Union. # he has crit
icism or suggestions on the economic
situation, he should communicate
them to Congress"
On the other side Of the political
fence, Representative Mccormack OF
Massachusetts, the Democratic whip
said that when OPA was killed I'VE
were promised by the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers and Re-
publicans that everything would be
all right in go days, If we would only
let supply and demand operate. But
OPA now has been dead seven
months, and look at your prices"
MIR. Truman recited his prescrip-
tion for averting a depression after
reporter asked for his views on a
report written by Chester Bowles
former OPA chief, cautioning that a
business collapse is Imminent.

ly English made, has nothing to offer its people
Frenchmen use cigarettes medium OF ex-
change In Germany, cigarette owner can buy
pair of shoes for butt
The entire world wants tobacco which is
grown right here in this community But
means must be devised to provide it. Men train
ed in the export business must be hired to solve
the problem big organization must be estab-
lished which will be influential enough to talk
in terms of millions of dollars
The Tobacco Associates, Inc, an advisory
board comprised of men who are themselves
tobacco growers, has the needed solution, has
the influence to fit perfectly into this world of
big business. 1t knows the men who can be hired
to plan means of exchange with foreign pro-
ducers, men who understand the complications
of reciprocal trade. TO hire these men, to set
up the necessary organization, costs money.
Who should pay for the support of this or
ganization? The people who will benefit from
the work: the tobacco grower. Will it cost
much? Ten cents per acre per year, as long as
the organization must stay in operation When
and where shall the assessment be paid? 1t will
be deducted from the sales price OF tobacco
when it is sold in the warehouses.
As simple as all that.
Last year, American tobacco growers earned
$182,O0O,0O0 from tobacco sold on the foreign
markets. It would be impossible to measure the
loss of this market. Forty per cent of the flue-
cured tobacco was exported last year. Where
will it go if the foreign market is allowed to
die?
The local tobacco grower can save himself
by voting for the assessment in Saturdays ref
erendum. No one knows what will happen to
the community if the referendum is defeated.
No one doubts how the local farmer will
vote: he will approve the assessment, Of course
The problem is: how many growers will vote?
There is only one possible answer: every grower
will vote.
Every grower MUST vote. By complete
vote, the grower will prove to the world that
the American tobacco growers are lined up to-
gether, united for their common good, determin-
ed to continue their high standard of living, the
high standard of their country Anything less
than a 100 percent appearance at the polls OF
all local growers will be reflection against the
community.
Once the assessment is approved, the rest
Of the problem can be left in the hands OF the
directors of the Tobacco Associates, Inc With
the full support of the growers they represent
they cannot fail

"The venture was started to
give the children some practical
education in the things they might
follow in later life," Agent Cole
man said, "as we'll as to teach

TEN CENTS WELL SPENT

On Saturday, the tobacco growers Of the
community will 60 to the polls to vote. They
have unusual question to decide. Shall they
pay ten cents per acre to the Tobacco ASCOT
ates, Inc, as an investment toward putting
hundreds of additional dollars in their own poe
kets. Evidently, there is only one answer. Yes.
By endorsing the referendum on the assess
ment. the tobacco grower puts himself in the
export business. He knows of conditions abroad
He knows that Europe has not enough money
to feed itself and he knows too that tobacco was
the first of the many luxuries Europeans were
forced to deny themselves.
England will not buy tobacco on the Ameri-
can market this year. With he loss of the Eng
lish market, important export field vanished.
Other countries who use American tobacco in
their cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking
products, are in the same position. They would
like to have American tobacco. They want
American tobacco But they haven't got the
money to buy it.
America exists upon its exports This ire
mendousy rich country produces more of ev-
erything than it needs. To maintain its high
standards of living, excess products must be sold
abroad
But England has no money to give to the
American tobacco grower The continent, still
