Gas and Oil Exports
|WiII Be Screened,
House Group Is Told
BY ne Associated Press

Max w. Ball, director of the In
terror Departments Oil and Gas
Division says future exports Of gaso-
line and oil will be screened to
see that they are in the broad
national interest" Of the United
States.
But he told the House Commerce
Committee yesterday there is NO
thought of cutting off all exports
nor of discriminating against any
one country" Wartime export
controls over oil and petroleum were
reimposed Monday.
Mr.. Ball was called to discuss the
Midwest gasoline shortage and win
ter fuel prospects in general, and
in particular-exports of oil and
petroleum products to Russia.
He said Russian shipments were
approximately at their prewar level
amounting to about one-eighth OF
L per cent of the United States out
put, and certainly don't lead you
to suspect stockpiling or anything
like that" 49,.
U. S. Flag Ships Use Denied.
simultaneously, Vice Admiral W.
w. Smith, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, was denying before the
House Merchant Marine Committee
that any American flag ships are
transporting oil and oil products.
"The eight lend-lease tankers
which Russia now has and which
are operating under the Russian
flag are not under the cornmission's S
control or jurisdiction. Only the
State Department can get them
back" he said.
His assertion came in reply to con-
tentions by Chairman Weichel that
American-owned tankers are being
used to ship oil abroad, despite the
possibility United States, citizens
may freeze this winter" because OF
the difficulty in moving oil from one
part of the country to another.
Mr.. Ball told the Commerce Com
mittee that the chances OF avoiding
widespread fuel shortages this win
ter depend on half dozen or more
"ifs."
"If there are no further refinery
strikes, if there is no prolonged coal
strike, If the shipping strikes don't
tie up too many tankers, If We can
get tank car construction, If there
are no steel strikes and rail strikes
if-above all-there Is no severe
winter, then we'll get by with only
spot shortages" he said.
But" he cautioned, "if too many
of these factors 60 bad we'll have
widespread shortages" 49,
He expressed belief that the
shortage of gasoline in the Midwest
area would lease off" by October.
At one point in his testimony
Mr., Ball termed John L. Lewis,
United Mine Workers Union chief,
the best salesman" of oil and gas
heating units, saying that MIR. Lewis
has scared more people" into buy
ing that type of equipment than
the statesmen for the industry.
He listed the great increase" in
oil burners as one factor in the
shortage of oil and petroleum prod
ucts being felt particularly in the
Midwest. ~

Senate Refuses 10 Provide
IS Million for Airporfs
BY the Associated Press

The Senate late yesterday re-
fused to make available for airport
construction in the new fiscal year
the full $65 900 900 in Federal funds
asked by President Truman.
BY a 39-to-38 vote, the chamber
defeated a proposal by Senator Lu-
cas-, Democrat, of Illinois, to provide
the full amount, doubling the $32,-
100000 voted by the House and ap-
proved by the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Senator Lucas also was defeated
on another proposal that the Senate
increase the amount voted by the
House to $50, 0,000, 900 for the national
airport program, under which the
Federal Government makes grants
to States and communities on a
matching basis. The vote was 43 to
80.
Arguing for the increase, Senator

@ISCUSSIONS NOW GOING ON in the United
States Senate vitality concern Cuba's ability to
buy American manufactured goods. They also
have direct bearing the economic health OF Cuba
and the U. S.
These discussions in the Senate Banking Sub
Committee on Sugar aim at fixing Cubas quota IN
the American sugar market:
Secretary of State George c. Marshall and Sec
retary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson have
expressed their support for a substantial quota for
Cubas basic export commodity. This support was
acknowledged with thanks in a resolution recently
passed unanimously by the Cuban House of Repre-
sentatives.
These questions that are today under discussion
affect us so deeply that their outcome may mean death
or life to Cubas people; crisis stability for Cubas
economy. But the interests of the people of the United
States are likewise at stake
What the Sugar Quota Means
For Cuba, with her colonial economy which de-
pends solely on her sugar ane tobacco exports
reduction of her quota of sugar for the American
market will mean reducing her production, and, con-
sequenty, unemployment, poverty and hunger among
the workers and farmers. 1t also means less money
to buy the goods that imported from the United
States. Sixty per of Cuba's working population
employed in the sugar industry.
For you, a reduction of the Cuban Sugar quota
will mean an equal reduction in a very important
port market In spite of standing restrictions imposed
on Foreign Trade, Cuba imported from the United
States last year $2720OOOOO0O in automobiles radio
sets electrical appliances, cooking utensils, ma
chnery, CLOTH construction materials, rice, lard,
wheat -four, canned Goods ETC.. thus providing re-
munerative work for thousands of miners steel
workers. seamen, longshoremen and warehousemen,
automobile, radio and refrigeration workers, and
the farmers who grow the rice, wheat and other
vegetables and fruits that Cuba buys from your
country.
Cuba Supplies Ouer 5000 U. S. Sugar
That is why it also concerns you, the people of
the United States, that Cuba be granted sugar quota
of at least fifty per of the total United States
sumption. Today Cuba is supplying more than half
of the United States consumption of sugar. When

Keep CUBA A Good Customer
by Raising the SUGAR Quota
An ADuteuI to the American People 80 "
An Appeal to the American People ..

Cubas people are employed they can buy the goods
that you produce. Cuba today is third among Latin
American countries in imports from the u S.
When Cuban sugar revenue from the American
market was curtaed as a result of the SmootH Hawley
Tariff Law Cuba forced to reduce her purchases
from the United States. They fell to low
S27,OO0OO0.OO in 1882. Wages dropped to Zoe day.
Contrast this with last years imports totang $272,-
O00,OOO00. That reduction in trade during the de-
preston years added to the total unemployment in
the United States.
The preservation of substantial sugar quota for
Cuba to supply the American market does no harm
the sugar industry already established in the United
States. Other products being produced abun-
dainty in the United States would largely reap the
benefit if Cuba's buying possibilities enhanced.
Good Neighbor in War and Peace
During the war years when Pacific sources
unable to send the United States a single grain of
sugar. labor shortages made impossible to increase
production on the Continent and in Porto Rico. The
requirements of war demanded more sugar, more
molasses and more alcohol Cuba quickly increased
cane growing and offered the United States her entire
production of FIVE million tons of sugar at a controlled
price-a triHe above and half cents per pound.
During those war years, many Cuban seamen risked
their lives to run the blockade set up by German
submarines, carrying sugar to the United States
schooners and other small unarmed craft. Some died
in the attempt
This year, Cuban production is 100000 tons.
If Cubas sugar quota is raised, it will soon be pos
sble to export to the United States enough sugar to
eliminate any restrictions the consumption of so
necessary food.
For these reasons, we, the workers of Cuba.
