I'VE also believe that more of

to the newly emerging coun-

Steel Imports
Hit Industry

NEW YORK (AP). -Recov-
cry of steel production in the
United States from its early
summer low has been retarded
by heavy imports, the Iron Age
reports.
Although domestic output
has seen slight uptrend over
the last four weeks, it still re-
mains under so per cent of in
dustry capacity.
Meantime, foreign steel NOV
ing into the country hit a rec
ord high of 100000 tons in
July, surprising Mays previ-
GUS mark of $4,000 tons.
The effect has been to take
some Of the edge off rising de-
mand, the Woodworking week
ly said, and to deal a setback
to the autumn recovery time
table, even taking into account
a substantial recent drop off
in imports.
Still, July-September ship
ments from domestic mills so
far have been larger than had
been expected earlier. TIL e
magazine stuck with its former
forecast of 1868 production
ofll06 million tons.
rThe day-to-day order rate
continues to be mildly disap-
pointing" it added. There has
been little real improvement.
although the outlook for the
fourth quarter remains good. "
Steelmen still are pinning
their hopes on sizable October
orders from automakers,

WRIT Finding
Best Buys Here

Washington Real Estate In
veStment Trust which has q
strict "arms-length" bargaining
rule for all property purchases
is having no problem finding
attractive investment oppor-
tunities in the Washington
Area, President B. Franklin
Kahn told the Washington
Society of Investment Analysts
today.
While real estate trusts in
other cities have been reported
scrambling to find good prop
erty investments and have had
trouble placing funds, WRIT
now is fully invested, Mr.. Kahn
said at an Occidental luncheon.
Fortunately, WRIT is not
only fully invested, but has i'm
mediate use of proceeds for an
entire new underwriting" he
said. WRIT's investments so
far have included apartments,
office buildings and shopping
centers-all in this area.
WRIT has purchased all of
its properties in "arms-length"
transactions from outsiders, Mr..
Kahn emphasized. None of its
real estate was purchased from
any trustee, member of the ad-
viStory board, their families, or
from any company or syndicate
controlled by these individuals.
I'm fact. WRIT is the only
trust. I know of, whose trust
charter specifically forbids such
an action" Many real estate
companies have been criticized
for lack Of arms-length bar
gaining for properties" said
Mr.. Kahn.
The trusts debt is SO per
cent long-term G8 to 25 years.
and self-liquidating, he added.
Interest and principal of the
mortgages will be paid off
gradually without any large
lump sum coming due. All of
them are first mortgages and
their highest level never ex-
ceeded so to 76 per cent of the
purchase price of the properties,
Mr.. Kahn reported.
Many WRIT stockholders do
not realize that for 1868, prin-
cipal payments will equal IS
per cent of dividends and that
by the end of 1868, the annual
rate of principal payments will
be the equivalent of two-thirds
of our current dividend rate.
Rentals. from trust properties
will total $1,392,200 this year
and real estate expenses will
require $473, 700, Mr.. Kahn
estimated. This will leave net
operating income of $918,500 or
S143 a share. Mortgage pay
ments, including interest and
principal, will total $445, 800,
leaving real estate cash flow
of $472.700 or 73 cents a share.
At the years end, the cash
equity will amount to So, 1855, ,627
or $5.84 a share. Purchase cost
plus remodeling amounted to
$13. .107,197 and the mortgage
balance was $9,340 $40. Mort
gage amortization for the year
will amount to $103,900 or 2.8
per cent of equity.

DORIS FLEEsoN
The Appointment of Roosevelt

The controversy attaching
to the nomination stems
from much more than the
unpleasant West Virginia
episode. Mr.. Roosevelt has
been involved In tax disputes.
and he was an agent for the
late Dominican dictator,
Rafael TrujiIlo. His attitude
toward automobile driving
regulations has been decided
ly nonchalant.
It is doubtful, as q prac-
tical matter. that an Under
secretary of Com m cree
Roosevelt can be built into
much of a political liability
to President Kennedy. Time
and victory have assuaged the
hard feelings from West Vir-
GINA; the Kennedy aura is
well established. Mr.. Roose-
welt. himself. is attractive
and knowledgeable. He has
only to apply himself quietly
to handle the job.
The principal embarrass-
ment caused is that he rep
resents a living reminder Of
the lengths to which ambi-
tious men go in their effort
to do good by being willing,
If necessary. to do some Ill.
Most members Of Congress
wish the appointment hadn't
been made. They would like
to get rid Of it quietly, and
Democrats in particular hope
that Mr.. Roosevelt viii sink
into decent obscurity.

ing In the interruption Of

1.-THE accepted position Is
that pacific blockades should
not bear on third states ex-
cept as they are affected by
the constraint directly APP
piled to the port or ports

It is added that, II the
blockade requires the seizure
Of the vessels Of a third state,
then q regular blockade"

this could involve q state OF

But the main point is that

In international law. The
United States In 1910, dur
ing the administration Of
President Franklin d. Roose-
welt, engaged in several such
measures, including the
'leasing" Of several destroy
ers to Great Britain for use
in her war with Germany,
into which this country had
not yet entered.

ministration. the United
States Navy intercepted some

This could have been con-
strued by other governments

Isd Blockade an Act of War?

So the argument turns on
what steps 1t Is necessary to
take to keep armament and
shipments of oil and other
products from reaching Cuba.
A pacific blockade" is q
legitimate measure Of re-
prisal for the hostile acts

Of American property with
out compensation and the
acceptance from the Soviet
government Of offensive
weapons, including missiles

ing used to injure American
citizens In the Southeastern

As a matter Of fact, the
United States could choose to
regard the landing Of "of-
fensive weapons" In Cuba as
a hostile act by Russia d.
rected at this country and
could hold the Soviet gov
eminent to accountability.
Certainly there Is no ques-
ton but that the Castro gov

ly taken as a starting point

The secret truth is that

When is a blockade an "act
Of war" and when is 1t Just
a pacific exercise of national
rights2 President Kennedy
has said q blockade Of Cuba
would be an "act of war"
but his use Of the word
blockade" Is too broad.
The answer Is to be found
In Corpus Juris Secondum, t"

saons. This book is often used
for reference in our Federal
courts in considering cases,
including those that involve

Under the heading. 'For-
chile Measures of Redress
Short Of War;" the following
definition Is given:
Certain measures Of re-
dress taken by one nation
against another are regarded
as short Of war, although
they may involve exercise Of
force. Such acts are usually
classified as retortion. repris-
al. pacific blockade. and en-
barge.
1.-THE mere suspension Of
the relations Of peace usu-
ally subsisting between two
nations. and the taking by
one Of them of such meas
ures Of redress against the
other, does not Of itself con-
stitute war.
Severance of relations,
while not involving actual
force, is nevertheless coercive.
A severance Of diplomatic re-
lations is q non-amicable
measure. and there is a pos
sibility that at any time one
government or the other may
engage in various methods
Of retortion or retaliation
without state Of war result
ing therefrom.
