of pooling arrangements under Wnlcn
the leaders of the 16 European ma
tions cooperating under the Mar
shall plan would agree that material
from the United States should be
used against those bottlenecks in
European industry and agriculture
which are most important in hold
ing up recovery.
This pooling idea appears to be
built on the hope that the Europeans
can be persuaded to agree not to
engage in competitive scramble for
American help, but to work out their
economic salvation for the beneflt OF
all Western Europe, regardless of the
immediate needs Of any particular
nation.
La Toilette Heads Group.
Secretary Hartman announced
that former Senator Robert M. La
Toilette of Wisconsin, member OF
the committee, has been named to
head a subcommittee assigned the
task of making recommendations on
how the American end of the Mar
shall program should be admin
istered.
This assignment seemed certain
to raise speculation that Mr.. La
Toilette eventually might be con-
sidered for the job Of administrator
of the entire program. His name
has figured in the past in specula-
ton over various important assign
ments in the Government.
Both Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Davis
agreed that none of the controls
under consideration could accomp-
lish anything insofar as this years
grain crop is concerned.
The State Department already
has warned its embassies and lega-
tions in 20-grain-importing coun-
tries that a reduction in American
shipments is in prospect.
The Agriculture Department is
known to be deeply concerned about
rising wheat prices which are
blamed partly on the short corn
crop and partly on the prospects for
future demands in Europe and else
where. 1t was in this connection
that Mr.. Davis suggested the pos
sible choice between voluntary cuts
in the use of wheat and return to
controls. The expired wartime con-
trolls gave the Government author
ity to ration the use of grain by dis
tillers and brewers and to require
millers to grind darker flour.
ALLEGATION Powers Studied.
One of the objectives of any kind
of control, he indicated, would be
to limit the respective quantities of
wheat for human food and for ami
NAL feeding.
Some other authorities are known
to be considering the possibility of
seeking ALLEGATION powers for the
Government in connection with the
Marshall plan. While no decisions
have been made, the subject may
become a hot one at the next ses-
sion of Congress, whether it be
special session or the regular meet
ing next year when the Marshall
plan is scheduled to come up.
Mr.. Hartman disclosed that his
committee is not seeking to make
any complete inventory now OF
American resources for aid to Eu-
rope and the rest of the world. He
said the committee expects, rather,
to determine this country's ability
to ship goods abroad after it has

both individually and collectively
can take"
One of the most important, he
declared, lis the restoration OF
financial stability to the extent such
stability can be achieved through a
balanced budget of current expendi-
lures, a sound and equitable tax sys-
tenn and the curtailment so far as
possible of u1productive govern
mental expenditures"
He suggested that financial re-
form might be achieved through the
following steps:
/. Establishment of an interna-
tional panel of skilled and impartial
technicians to investigate and make
recommendations. Such panel
might grow out of present dellbera-
tions regarding the Marshall Plan
or discussions within the frame
work of the Economic Commission
for Europe.
Lower Trade Barriers Urged.
2. Integration of European recon-
struction and production programs
on a regional basis. Europe Is too
impoverished to afford the un-
economic luxury Of productive pro-
grams which overlap, for reasons OF
autarchy or otherwise"
8. Gradual removal or lowering OF
the trade barriers which now hinder
the free international flow of goods
Success in the establishment OF an
effective international trade organ
ization would be a step forward in
this direction"
4. Prompt utilization of the pro.
ductive facilities of Germany fol
the benefit of the overall European
economy. The nations of Europe
and of the world need the potentia
exportable output of Germany
particularly of the Ruhr' and it
coal mines"
"If European coal production
could be increased to prewar levels
a large part of Europe's production
problem would be on its way tt
solution, and an unnecessary dralr
upon it's dollar resources would bt
removed" Mr.. McCloy said.
Investigation Under Way.
Turning from European problems
he continued:
"It should not be very long before
the financing of development prof.
ects in those areas uatin Amerl'
can, Asia, Africa and the MldGlt
East will tend to become the prl-
mary concern OF the bank"
The bank now has under way
various Investigations in this con-
nection, he disclosed, but added:
"The bank cannot, of course, dc
the whole job, it cannot by itsel1
do even a substantial portion o1
the job.
| development on the scale thai
Evening star., 1947-09-12

is within the range of practicability
needs financial assistance IN
amounts which only established
credit and the consequent free flow
of private capital can provide"
He outlined the following as some
of the steps which the bank believes
necessary to encourage the flow OF
foreign capital to less well-de-
veloped areas:
Improvement of the credit posi-
ton of many of the countries con-
cerned. Perhaps the most effective
method to achieve this. He said
would be for them to clear up their
external debt records.
Establishment of a sound bud
getary and a sound monetary sys-
tenn.
Assurance that private capital
from abroad would not be subject
to inequitable and restrictive legis-
lation. Risk capital " cannot
be attracted without assurance OF
fair and equitable treatment and OF
continued opportunity to earn a
reasonable return"
There is no suggestion" Mr
McCloy stressed, that all remedial
measures which may appear neces-
sary in the case of any given coun-
try must be completed before that
country may qualify for a loan
from the bank.
Sound lending, by the bank Is
important, not only that its loans
may prove productive, not only that
confidence in private international
investment may be restored, but
also that the bank may be able TO
borrow from the financial COM
munity the funds necessary for the
banks own lending operations.
"For it can not be too often en-
phasized that the bank must rely
on private investment funds rather
than on its paid-in capital for the
main portion of its loanable re-
sources"
Mr.. McCloy pointed out that the
banks entire stock of loanable dol
lars was represented by $727,075, 600
of capital paid in by the United
States. In addition the Belgian gov
ernment has authorized permission
to lend the equivalent of $4,000, 600
in Belgian francs out OF Belgian
paid-in capital.
For loanable resources In excess
of this amount, the bank must look
to the sale of its securities In the
private investment market, for the
time being predominately the
United States market" he ex-
planned.
Four Loans Already Made.
Reporting on operations, Mr.. NC
Cloy said the bank thus far had
made four loans: France, $3.50 ,000.-
600; the Netherlands, $195, ,0OO, 600;
Denmark, $4o,000,00; Luxembourg
s12,Ooo,0OO.
Two issues Of the banks securities
were sold in the United States:
500 900 900 of 10-year ~ per cent
bonds and $150,OO0,O00 of 25-year 8
per cent bonds.
Applications for loans are pending
from Chile, $4,O00,O00; Czechoslo-
vakia, $3.50, 900 900; Iran, $25o,00o,- :
600; Mexico, $2O9, 100000; Poland,
$500, 900 600.
The fund, designed to help keep
the various currencies on an even
keel so that trade may flow smooth
ly, cautioned in its report that Ger
tain countries of key Importance IN
the world economy are rapidly run
ming out Of resources to buy the
goods they require.

Broad Export Control
Expected 10 Be Used
Under Marshall Plan
BY the Assoeioted Press

Extensive use of export con-
trolls and probably some other
forms of Government supervision
over the American economy may
be necessary to make the Mar
shall plan for European recovery
work effectively.
This became apparent today from
data being assembled in various
divisions of the Government. It was
indicated particularly by informal
reports from President Truman's top
committee on foreign aid, headed by
Secretary of Commerce Hartman
The Hartman committee. COM
pleting its second two-day cycle OF
conferences, made clear at a news
conference that its Investigations
thus far show that shipments OF
goods to Europe under the Marshall
plan may put additional strains on
some tight spots in the American
economy.
Steel Products Cited.
Various steel products, some types
Of farm machinery and food supplies
were cited as examples of commod-
ities that may require particularly
careful handling in order to minimize
the impact of the proposed aid pro-
gram on the United States.
Chester C. Davis, chairman of the
committees subgroup on food re-
sources and former war food admin
istrator, said this country eventually
may be confronted with the choice
between voluntary cut in consumer
use of wheat products and q
reimposition of Government controls
Mr.. Hartman interjected: "Ano
you are speaking only for yourself?'
''Yes. SIR" Mr.. Davis replied.
Mr.. Hartman himself, as well a.
other members of the committee
declared emphatically that no such
drastic measures as the declara.
ton Of a limited national emerg.
ency have been considered by the
committee.
Hartman Sums Up.
Mr.. Hartman summed up the
approach of the 19-man group tt
the problem of providing American
supplies to Europe in these words:
I'VE want to interfere as little
as possible with normal business
transactions, but there will hav'
to be certain Government super
vision to deal with that subjec
and to minimize the effect on ou
own economy"
At another point the Secretar!
of Commerce said existing expor
controls might have to be broadenee
or altered from time to time il
order to make sure that supplie
moving out of the United State
would reach the places where the,
were needed most.
This appeared to provide tn
American counterpart of what tol
State Department officials conside
to be the absolute minimum of self
help" in Europe. That is some kin,

ator Taft continued, "the peoples
voice can be heard"
He admitted that States rights
is a term which has little sex ap-
peal and sounds slightly archaic"
but declared that the issue OF local
self-government is fundamental.
Federal officers have their own
theories and they propose to apply
them, no matter how different The
conditions may be on the Pacific
Coast from those they understand in
the East. They think they are ex-
perts, and their general attitude is
that the people are too damned
dumb to understand"
Evening star., 1947-09-12

Europes statement Of which goods
are needed there.
Mr.. Hartman said 1t may be that
the Nations annual total of exports
will not have to be raised above
present high levels.
It was clear from the total OF
the committees report, however,
that even if there were no overall
increase the central problem still
would be to deliver to Europe at the
time and in the amounts required
the quantities of food, machinery
and consumer goods needed.

Commenting on the statement by
a board member that the board
will not discus employment with
any out-of-town agency, Mrs.
NOEL said:
The association is not an out
of-town agency We are the
nurses who work at James
Walker hospital and we represent
them, doing what they ask. It is
better for one who does not work
at the hospital to sit at the con-
ference table. + woman who
works there and has been ex-
plotted is more apt to lose her
temper"
She said the girls who work at
the Wilmington hospital are max
ing very reasonable and modest
requests. The minimum salaries
requested by the association
range from 5000 month for a
general duty nurse with $40 a
month increase each year for
three wears. to 1928 for the head
nurse of ward. The nurses also
want paid vacation. sick leave,
44-hour> work week with time
and-a-half pay for overtime. a
retirement plan or social security
coverage, and a system to register
grievances.
In no way does the hospital
meet these rnininum require
ments, Mrs. NOEL said.
; Not Dealing With Servants
/ "The board is dealing with pro-
i fessional people," Mrs. Noell
commented. 1T is not dealing
with servant girls, although
admit the developments so far
look like the board members
thought they were"
Chairman Dan Penton said last
night that he had just received
Mrs. Noell's second letter Tues
day afternoon and would reply to
it tomorrow"
He sid he knew of no reason
to think the board would change
its mind about comforting with
the association, and that no board
meeting was to be called today
to find out whether or not the
board members would bargain
with the nurses association.

board members claimd to be un-
informed about the situation ard
