It is taken for granted that one of the first effects of war in Eu- rope would be the liquidation of foreign security holdings in this country. This would entail a severe shock to the market unless plans are carefully made to take care of such a financial operation. Some idea of the extent of this liquidating process can be gained from the belief that the Britisa and French have about $4,000,- 000,000 in the United States which would become immediate- ly available for war spending. In addition, they possess about $4,- 500,000,000 in gold.at home for exchange in foreign products. Moreover. they have access to gold production ‘that runs close to one billion dollars a year. A huge part of this immense sum is- certain to be expended in the American market There is anotner factor that ‘would affect our economic situa- tion. War would completely dis- rupt the export trade to beliger- ent nations. The necessity for war supplies and the activity of opposing fleets would leave mar- kets in other regions open to American exporters. This would ‘increase the demand for Ameri- can goods. Together with the purchasers of belligerent nations in this country the new market would create a demand that would rapidly result in some- thing like a boom. Commodity markets, it is taken for granted, would be upset as war began. would result in boom Prices. Present large supplies of many commodities might make the recent order for the return of the American fleet to the Pa- cifie Ocean. One report is that Japan was on the verge of sign- ing a definite military alliance | with Germany and Italy and that the fleet transfer was intended as Oddities in the Day’s News “Stone. who was one of the three Bees, 6; Medwick, Cards, 6; Mc- By HUGO S. SIMS. Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen \ese appealed to Germany and Italy for assistance in preventing European nations from supplying jthe Chinese Government with munitions. Even with the dispatch of the fleet to the Pacific, the Govern- ment is holding the largest force ‘of combatant ships in the Atlan- tic that has been assigned to this * ocean since 1932, when the main ‘fleet steamed into the Pacific for permanent station. Completely crganized, the Atlantic Squadron will be three battleships, four neavy and five light cruisers, an aircraft carrier, an aircraft. ten- der, 25 destroyers and 20 subma- rines. In addition, tix subma- rines are based in the Panama Canal and two gunboats and two destroyers are off Central Amer- ica. F: More than 50,000 men are now working on naval construction in Government navy yards and pri- vate shipping plants in this coun- try. This compares with 8,301 workmen on January Ist, 1934. Immediately after the expansion program of the Navy began, in one year, employment jumped to 23,779 men. A year later, there were 48,831 workmen engaged on naval construction. but the num- ber fell off the following year with the completion of a number of vessels. Last year there were more than 40,000 workmen en- gaged on naval construction, but with the battleship program actu- ally underway. it is expected that the number.of workmen will in- erease to 60,060 by the end of this year. That the trade pact agreements of the United States are proving superior to the barter commerce | of Germany is the claim of the Department of Commerce, which last week made public an analysis of German exports in contrast with those of the United States. During the three years, 1936, 1937 } and 1938, imports in sixteen coun- tries having trade agreements showed a,much larger average tate of increase for the United States over the two pre-agree- ment. years, over the imports from Germany. the chief expon- ent of barter.

Brewers of America realize this depends on keeping beer retailing as wholesome as beer itself. They want to help public officials in every possible way. They cannot enforce laws. But they can—and will—cooperate! Beer helps even those who do not drink it! To the tune of a million dollars a day nation-wide, beer tax revenue reaches back into every com- munity, to help pay for relief, for public works, for education...and to lift a burden that would otherwise rest directly on the taxpayers. To this, add a million new jobs made by beer. And a 100 million dollar farm market.
