PINKS AND REDS WRONG
I'm the United States. by far the

production apparatus is in private
hands. So. Il thc Rcd and Pink
thinkers have the right dope. we're
still pretty much in the Dark Ages
as regards electric power, and are
still depending mainly on horses,
mules or our own backs to get our
work done.
There is something wrong with
that picture. A few statistics, to
show just how wrong it is:
"In the United States in 1947,
an estimated total OF almost 3O7
billion kilowatt hours of power
was produced. T ha t cOntrasted
with only ia billion XVIII in 1898.

electric power production totaled

"And in the dear old Soviet
Union in 194S, power production
totaled an estimated 60 billion

in 1888.

when you divide these XVIII
totals by the number of people in
each of the three countries, you

"In Great Britain the approx
mately 100000 people didn't
do nearly SO we'll in 194S. They
had only 91S XVIII apiece to work
for them.
"In up-and-coming Communist
Russia in 194S, with its output of
so billion XVIII, the estimated 1907
100000 people had only 315 XVIII
each.
"The facts, however, are as
stated herein. And our electric
power superiority pays off in ways
which anybody can understand and
appreciate.
HIGHEST LIVING STANDARD
For example, the u. S. A. has
one automobile for every four of
it's people; Britain one for every
%; Russia one for every 252. In
this country, there is one radio to
every three people; in Britain one
to five; in Russia, one to 40. One
of every five persons in the United
States has q telephone. The British
ratio is one phone to 155 persons;
the Russian, one to 1873.

We didn't do 1t with the help of

In all Of this effort to buy
foreign products, the American
import-exp0rt firms themselves
are working fast. Hundreds Of
leading businessmen are max

their orders directly. At the

Currently there is q move

Most foreign producers are
shocked at the size Of adver-
tising budgets here. They have
to be taught that heavy adj

Packaging is another field new
to most Of them. They are
learning that the product in
the best package has the heav-

are equal.
In short, American tastes
must be met to make sales
except in the traditional fields.

say their inquiries are received
with sympathetic attention
but that's all.
Generally they propose some
scheme in which they receive
q percentage of all business
done In America in exchange
for their advice. It Is easy
for foreign firms to determine
their qualifications-or lack
of 1t.
It is seldom profitable for a
businessman to pay q fee to an
unknown promoter who has
what he calls inside informa-
ton on how to whip up busi-
ness with foreign firms. u
Regularly established cham
nels. both public and private,
are prepared to answer ill
questions on foreign trade
without cost or at a nominal
fee.
The key source is the Com
merce Department In Washing
ton. It has more information
on foreign trade than any other
agency in the world. It will
cost you a Scent stamp to ask
your question.
Their information covers q
broad field, and for more spe-
cific inquiries the foreign con-
sulates offer the best source.
Commercial attaches Of EN-
bassies. trade sections Of con-
sulates or trade commissioners
all have detailed information
on what Is available in their
own country for export to
America. They can give you
names and addresses Of firms
or route your inquiry to the
right department in their
country.
The National Retail Dry
Goods Association has q major

tion's committees Is compiling

But his background shows that

The admiral was brought back

after the admiral and Mr.. Mat

the President, the appointment of
Admiral Sherman as Chief of

But Sherman Thinks
He'll Get Help
From All Hands
By John A. Giles

Will the Navy's Fancy DAN
admirals now form a phalanx
against Admiral Forrest Percival
Sherman who leaped over nine
seniors. four of them with four
star rank, to become Chief OF
Naval Operations?
Or will the admirals who testi-
fled before the House unif1catiori
hearings and their many silent
compatriots, having had their day
in court and washed q lot of de-
fense linen in public, give him
the cooperation necessary to
make a success out Of a most
difficult" job?
Admiral Sherman. who fully.
but sadly, realizes the bitterness
and deep wounds resultant from
the hearings which eliminated in
Gen. Bradley's Fancy Dan" as
'persion, firmly believes that he
will get the help, loyalty and un-
derstanding of all hands.
"I'll get along with the ad-
mirals all right" he said, adding
that "using a heavy hand is not
the answer" to bringing about a
harmonious Navy and defense
team.
Critics Silent
Those Navy officers who only
a week ago showed signs Of Bit
terness against Admiral Sherman
and were reported as having been
seriously considering resigning
should he be appointed now are
silent, perhaps ominously. It ap-
pears to be a "wait-and-see"
policy.
The admiral himself admits
that there are "a few people who
wish there was some one else in
the job" but he also feels that
he has the support of the ma
jority of the officers and men. :
