Noyikov Is Confident
Soviet and U. 5. Can
Cooperate for Peace
BY the Associated Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. s.
Nikolai v. Novikov, the Russian Am.
bassador, expressed deep conf.
dence" here last night that that
shadow which has lately been dark
ening our relations is not the re-
Election of the real state of affairs
between the two peoples"
The Ambassador said the anxiety
and fear of a new war which arose
during 1916 resulted from the "ac-
tivities of some political groups
which are deliberately propagan-
dizing a new war and sowing un-
certainty and mistrust so that they
could fish in troubled waters"
His address, made before the Mi
ami Chapter of the Council of Amer
ican-Soviet Friendship, directly
named Winston Churchill of Great
Britain as one of those who "come
forward openly or in disguise with
projects of organizing blocs and
declarations directed against the
Soviet Union"
Won't Forget American Help.
Mr.. Novikov voiced friendship for
the. United States and said:
THE Soviet people highly
appreciate and will never forget
the help and the splendid mill
tary efforts of the American peo-
pie. The friendship of our peoples,
which played such an important
role in the achievement of victory
over the common enemy, can and
must play a far greater role now
in time of peace, when mankind is
laying the foundation for a uni
versal, durable peace. The
success of this important task de-
pends mainly upon the co-opera-
ton of the great powers-The So
Wet Union, the United States OF
America and Great Britain.
Mr.. Novikov said the stupid and
harmful talk" about an iron cur
tain and an alleged aggressive pol
icy by the Soviet Union was invent
ed by Nazi Propaganda Minister
Goebbels and repeated later by Mr..
Churchill.
SOviet's Urgent Tasks.
Look without any mental res
ervation and without any prejudice
at the activities of the people of
the Soviet Union, at the tremendous
and urgent tasks confronting them,
at the activities of the Soviet gov
and of Soviet diplomacy
he urged. "You will be completely
satisfied then shat the charges
which are so lavishly cast at the
Soviet Union are unfounded.
''The peoples of the Soviet Union
have defended and are ready in the
future to defend their independence,
but their only and sincere wish in
their relations with other countries
is the establishment of peace
throughout the world.
Following this road, the Soviet
people welcome friendship and
peaceful cooperation with other
peoples. and particularly with the
energetic and industrious people of
the United States of America. Loose
talk about the impossibility OF
peaceful cooperation between our
countries has absolutely no basis.
We have every possibility for
Strengthening our economic, COM
and cultural atiess . xu -.
May the friendship of the Soviet
and American peoples grow and
strengthen as. the stronghold of
peace and security Of the peoples OF
the world"

COUNTRY FlEEcED BY
"c0ST PLUS" WAR
CONTRACTS

For several years past. house and
senate committees have been investi-
eating wal cOntracts-cost plus spe-
cial arrangements-and invariably the
revelations OF profiteering, waste and
extravaganza have been made without
any profitable results to the common
folks.
1t seems that the men in high prices
in government are determined not to
do anything about curbing the loop
holes OF profiteering by which the tax
payers have been fleeced.
An example OF the continuance Of
the same old evils is demonstrated
by the State departments awarding
$50, 400, 900 in contracts OF five Amer
lean engineering construction com
panies for reconstruction and rehabil.
itation work in Greece. All the con-
tracts were negotiated on a cost
plus-fixed-fee' basis without bids.
The State department evades the
proof developed in every investigation
when the department attempts to JUS
tify continuation Of the cost-plus sys,
TEN Certainly. there Is no evidence
to back up the departments claim that
the "cost-plus way is the better way
in the light Of past experience.
It's the same old story. The tax
payer can't win.

CONGRESS MUST ACT FAST TO FORCE EXPANSION
OF STEEL INDUSTRY TO AVOID A DEPRESSION

steel making expansion to support the
domestic economy and to meet for
eign needs.
Brubaker said a recent union survey
in the fabricating field found 90,
USA members temporarily out Of work
because of the steel shortage. I'VE
do not want this condition to become
. permanent feature of our economy
he told the subcommittee.
He said world demand could easily
absorb any possible domestic slack
during the next 10 years. adding that
steel exports with expanded produc-
ton a be Is to 20fo of U. S. output
instead Of 1870 now.
Saying that estimates by big steel
leaders for an average yearly use Of
two-thirds plant capacity near mass
unemployment, Brubaker said the I'M
ion wants Expansion now but not at
the price of shaking down the coun-
try and the labor movement. The
est of expansion is tremendous, but It
can be met by the industry from its
present working capital, from high
profit margins and from capital bor-
rowing

members in patronage returns is non
taxable
The committee headed by Rep. Walt
err Ploeser (R.. Mo-, an arch foe of
co-ops. had claimed GCS got away
with paying less than 80 per cent Of
the taxes it would have paid as a prof
it-making corporation. The coop re-
piled its taxes ARE exactly the same
as any other private corporation would
have paid ii 1t had decided to issue
patronage returns to its customers"
1t said that more than half its net
savings over the past seven years were
refunded to customers, adding: I'VE
think that II other private business
would follow this practice, our econom-
ic system and all free enterprise would
be in q much healthier state"
AS a matter OF fact. GCS said, firms
such as the giant r. H. Macy store in
New York city, mutual insurance com
panies and many other businesses
make patronage refunds now which
are not taxable. Mays pays no tax
on the one per cent refund 1t gives
deposit account customers who pur-
chase over 500 worth per year.
The Ploeser committee attack on
Greenbelt after the hearings (held
August 22-23) no longer referred to
co-ops as tax-free, but centered its
fire on the patronage refunds. 1t said
the question OF whether they should
be taxed involves complicated ques-
tions Of law which will be considered
by the committee at future hearings"
