loo:o at vjascstoii By HUGO S. SIMS, Washington Correspondent Bargains In Ships, Etc Open Very Few . Buyers The United States has billions of dollars invested in plants erected to produce the implements of war. They produce steel, aluminum, tanks, guns, planes, trucks, ships, etc. and etc. So what? Well, there are hund reds of industrial .corporations anxi ous to get those plants as cheaply as possible. They want the government out of business and, consequently, the government iuust sell its indus trial plants. Who will buy them? Nobody but the industrialists. Consider a gov ernment shipyard and figure out how many purchasers are in the market and you will get a fair idea of the pickings that will be available if the governntent can be forced out of business. The same observation applies to the hundreds of ships that the gov ernment has constructed, and to me thousands of other items that were produced for our fighting men. "Getting the government out of busi ness" means, in many instances, practically giving away valuable as sets through the medium of sales attended by a few potential buyers. It is not necessary to present the great industries with billions of dol lars in plants and property in order to save the American system of pri vate profits. In fact, nothing could be sillier than for the government to sell out at forced sales and lose money that the taxpayers will have to pay. Reverse Lend-Lease I While the United States continues to be the "Arsenal of Democi.cy" and provides needed supplies to Great Britain and Russia, our armed forces abroad are receiving direct assistance from the United King dom, Australia and New Zealand. Leo T. Crowley, Foreign Economic Administrator, says that for the first three months of this year, the Brit ish Commonwealth provided us with poods and services "well in excess of $500,000,000." Altogether, the valse of reverse Lend-Lease totals $2, 600,000,000. International Prosperity May Be Key To World Peace The tJnited Nations' monetary and financial conference, now being held in this country, attempts to grapple with the problem of post-war econ omy. It is hardly too much to say that the welfare of the world for many years depends upon its suc cessful work. It is probably too much to expect the average individual to understand the intricacies of international finance and, consequently, we must be pre pared to accept the considered judg ment of experts representing various nations. As we understand the conference, it is studying the possibility of an international monetary fund to es tablish currency stabilization and the establishment of an international bank to facilitate reconstruction and development throughout the world. It is obvious that when peace comes again, the economic machinery of the world, upon which interna tional trade depends, will be shot vo pieces. AH nations will have tremen dous problems but they will be espe cially severe where the ravages of war have produced the greatest dis location and destruction. The purpose of the conference, n we understand it correctly, is to pro vide machinery to facilitate loans to currency-famished nations and to finance an expansion of productron that will stimulate international trade, create wealth and improve the condition of labor and the standard of living everywhere. Without attempting to analyze the methods proposed, we suggest that the interests of the United States Baa News for iMcrmapntpzrs 1 Atmj Sitatl Corpg Photo These two American paratroopers found plenty of horses to the ' F town where they landed and drove out the Germans.

Back the Invasion WwBond While a national debt of this s may constitute a burden in post-war require that the work of the confer- nnancing, uiere ms". ence proceed to a successful conclu sion and th.at the bnited states, as a .(ivernment, participate fully in this program of international cooperatron. D'bl Hits $200,000,000,000 Without Universal Disaster The gross debt of the United States, including guaranteed obliga tions of the Government, has passed the $200,000,000,000 mark. Contrary to prophecies made some vears apo, the earth did not stop re volving on its axis and there seems to have been no confusion among the celestial bodies. Not only does it appear that the nation can function, despite the $2I)0,00(),OHO,000 debt, but it continues to operate the world's largest war, with the debt increasing every day. Kconomists may suggest that the burden is possible during the emo tional excitement of international conflict, but, as we have been told before, fundamental laws are not ai fected by emotional effluvia.

There is no sugges- tion that the debt be cancelled and nobody in the United States believes that it will not be paid. French Suspicions Hard To Understand The French Committee . of Na tional Liberation has protested tne, publication of an article from an American magazine in a soldiers' publication and observers in Algiers report that anti-American sentiment has been stimulated by "General De Gaulle's denunciation of American policy in France." The strange phenomenon of Frenchmen in North Africa, unable to return to their homeland,, criticiz ing and lambasting the nations whose sons are fighting their enemy, is one of the strangest spectacles of ths present war. Some Frenchmen, concerned abour future relations with the 1 United Hates, are frankly disturbed -by the "whispering campaign" under wav in North Africa and wonder what the motive ran be. Thev do not under stand whv President Roosevelt shonM be accused of seeking to acquire ct'ptPri' pwr at the expense of thi French Empire or why there are re peated intimations that American troops are unpopular in North Af rica and more unpopular in France. Advisory Committee Upholds Cost Of Living Estimates An advisory committee of statis tical experts, after an investigation, declares its confidence in "the accu racy and representativeness of the price changes shown by the Bureau of Labor Statistics index." The government bureau's index of the rise in living costs between January, 1941, and December, 1943, was 23.4 per cent and the committee said that this figure might be three to ive points below the actual rise. The committee rejected the con tention of labor leaders that the fig ures were inaccurate and that the clare that agriculture's comeback from the depressed condition of the early thirties is responsible for the situation. They report that farm prices for farm products, which stood at an index of 181 on the 1910-14 base in January, 1943, rose to 196 in January of this year. This means a rise of ten per cent in the past year and about 100 per cent since 1939. The article points out that while prices of farm products were 28 per cent below the 1929 level during 1935-39, the prices of farm products, since the war came, have caught up with and are now slightly ahead of retail prices of farm products and the cost of living. The threatened inflation of farm land values has engaged the atten tion of agricultural economists for some months. Last fall Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickara pointed out that the speculative rise in farm land values "promises to be more extensive and more disastrous than the one which occurred durmg and after the last war."i It should not be overlooked that "since that boom nearly one-third of the farms of the country ha gone throuj?i forced sale, usually because some one paid too much for his farm." The Department of Agriculture has instructed various bureaus vo undertake educational campaigns to acquaint farmers and farm landers with the threatening situation.

I The report of the committee said that the BIS index related only vo families living, in cities of consider able size and only to urban families that work for a living. It adds that the index is "misused" when ap plied to individuals or to small-town and rural families or to families on the verge of poverty or with fam ilies with incomes of above $4,000 per year. Economists Report Growing Peril Of Land Inflation Farm Economics, a monthly sta tistical bulletin published by Cornell University, recently reported the conclusions or three outstanding ag ricultural economists who made a survey of price production and mar ket data in connection with agricul ture. . :. Net farm income is at the highest level in history and the economists warn that the stage is now set : for a land boom in the farm sections of the nation. They declare that it is up to the farmers to determine whether there will be a repetition of the collapse that followed the first World War. . I It is recommended that increased agricultural income -be used to get debts in shape and to create finan cial reserve." If farmers use their surplus money to bid up the price of. land there is great danger of infla tion which will be inevitably follow ed by a disastrous deflation. ' The authors of the survey, Doctors William I. Myers, V, B. Hart and . Frank , A. Pearson, say that farm land values are rising at the rate of 15 per cent a year. They -think that only ft successful -war bond drive among farmers will solve the tiitua tion.' . "This means putting tnontjy m less. combustible form than hmd," they assert, "and yet in ft .farm where it will be available whenever atded.l,.r..r.r"... '! .
