u. 5. 10 Re-EstabIish
Strict War Controls
On Exports Of Steel
System Effective Oct. I
Will Regulate Supply on
Bosis of Foreign Needs
By the Associated Press

The United States will revert
October l to its strict wartime
controls over steel exports.
These require Government ap-
proval of both the country to re-
ceive the metal and the use there
to which it is to be put.
Since shortly after the war Ameri-
can exporters have been permitted
to lump their orders and ask per-
mission to ship specific tonnage
M. E. Sweeney, chief of the Com
merce Departments export coptrol
division over general products, told
a reporter today the return to
the wartime ALLEGATION method is
necessary because of the large sums
the United States is spending on
foreign reconstruction.
Consultations Planned.
First consideration in issuing ex-
port licenses, Mr.. Sweeney said, will
be given to requests for shipments
aimed at rebuilding basic industries
most likely to move the purchasing
nations back into financial good
health.
Since the policy could result in
directly, however, in coloring the
industrial pattern of nations now
dependent on American steel, the
Commerce Department is preparing
to consult with foreign governments
on that score as we'll.
. In explaining the decision to
clamp tighter controls over steel
products, Mr.. Sweeney said:
! For the basic industries of Eu-
rope we would rather ship them, for
instance, can-making plants than
tin-plate with which to can their
perishable foods. On the other
hand, we'd rather send them tin
plate than keep on sending food
And we'd also rather send them
tractors to produce their own food.
Our whole drive is to get them back
to producing for themselves"
France, he added, must be helped
to get it's transportation system back
so it's trade can move more swiftly.
