LEND LEASE, FORE AND AFT
President Roosevelt disclosed recently
that through the end of 1944, a total of
nearly 20 billions in munitions, food,
and services had been furnished to the
United Nations.
The report also carried a clause which
stressed that war needs will require all
available petroleum supplies during 1944.
The overall petroleum needs of 1944
will rise above what they are now, the
report states.
The increasing numbers of planes, tanks,
ships and other military vehicles Which
we are now producing, and putting into
action against the enemy require the in
creasing quantities of gasoline, oils and
lubricants.
Additional supplies from Alaska, Can
ada, or other areas where petroleum re
serves will eventually be brought into
full production, cannot be considered as
available for war.
All available supplies will be needed
for the speedy and complete victory over
the enemies of the United Nations
Following the war, the nations of the
world will need all available petroleum
to maintain their industrialized econom
ies. Some nations will have insufficient
oil for their requirements, while others
will have a surplus.
After the war, systems must be devised
whereby the nations who have a surplus
of supplies will share with those who
have insufficient reserves.
FRISCO PLANS TRADE CENTER
(American Exporter)
Originated last year by San Francisco
international merchants, a plain for a
$25,000,000 World Trade Center for that
city is reported as winning much support i
among Pacific Coast business organiz
ations.
The project is reported as having been
indorsed in principle by the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce and to have
received the approval of the local Marine
Exchange, Pacific Trade Association,
Pllilippir»e American Association, Bay
Area Maritime Association, Foreign
Trade Association and other groups.
As proposed, the San Francisco
World Trade Center would occupy a
large area near the waterfront and would
provide exhibit halls and meeting rooms
in a compact area for transacting foreign
trade. It is hoped that the center would
provide the location for a World Trade
Congress now tentatively planned for
San Francisco after the end of hostilities.
! A foreign free zone is also contemplat
ed near the center, similar to the existing
ifree port in New York. The proposed
free zone project is a separate project,
now under consideration by the U. S.
Department of Commerce
ANCIENT BEACH PLACERS
(Economic Survey)
Ancient beach placers, are, either sur
face placers some distance back of the
present shore line, or subterranean
(also submarine) placers deposited on
ancient shore lines now buried under 1
later deposits.
Just as the ancient beaches in the vi
cinity of Nome are an indication of re
peated up-and-down movements of the
land, so are the high bench gravels an
indication of old drainage systems ex- 1
isting during the periods of standstill
between these movements.
All the placer possibilities in Seward
Peninsula are far from being exhausted
or fully known.
Dr. Phillip S. Smith makes reference |
to placer geology, in his, “Geology of
Alaska”, : “Obviously, the unraveling
of the various episodes in that history
(uaternary) is not only of theoretical
significance but can be turned into dir
ect financial returns by focussing atten
tion on areas where such placers are
likely to occur, thus avoiding unprofit
able expenditure of time, money, and
labor in less promising areas.”
LITERARY
GUIDEFOST
By JOHN SELBY
"Germany Afler Hitler". by
Paul Hagen (Farrar 8t Rinehart:
$2.50).
It seems unlikely to me that
Paul Hagen’s “Germany After
Hitler” can do much more than
muddy waters that already are
pretty turgid. Mr. Hagen has
every right to his opinions—it is
his manner and his method of ar
guing his case that I object to.
For example—
At the beginning of his book
he claims that what is really the
matter with Germany is its back
wardness. He thinks there is a
large anti-Nazi group in the coun
try waiting to do something about
their present masters, and he says
that the reason things went
wrong m 1914, and again in 1933,
is that the processes of democra
tization have been delayed in
Germany because of its position

geographically and for other and
numerous reasons. The other
lands of western Europe, and
particularly France and Britain
are farther along in their so
cial and political evolution.
But at the end of the book he
arrives at an unprepared conclu
sion, which is that Germany
wasn’t so much worse than those
two countries, since England has
piracy in her history, and France
has Napoleon. Mr. Hagen is no
Nazi, but he disagrees violently
with Lord Vansittart’s peppery
denunciation of the German peo
ple as 75 per cent behind Hitler,
and as bad boys generally.
Further, Mr. Hagen says the
answer in Germany, after the
war, is democratization, and that
this will come about only if the
United Nations have the good
sense to'permit a “deep revolu
tion.” Democracy imposed on
Germany, as in 1919-20, won t
work, in his opinion. But he also
says that the Weimar republic
was sabotaged by Junkers and in
dustrialists and the old guard gen
erally, and his idea that a “deep
revolution” will dispose of these
gentry seems, to me, naive at best.
There also are a good many un
suppor'ed statements in the book, |
as witness, on page 167: “But this
much is certain: Germany will
not within calculable time at
tempt to launch a war to gain re
vision of the defeat suffered

PARIS, Tenn. — <AP>— More
than 100 oil paintings, including
one attributed "to Peter Rubens,
Flemish old master, are on exhib
ition here at the home of W. P.
Williams, publisher of the local
Post - Intelligencer.
They are the inheritance of his
wife from her uncle, James M.
Cowan of Aurora and Chicago,
who died in 1933, leaving most of
his collection of 600 works of art
to the city of Aurora, provided it
would erect a suitable building to
house them. This condition was
not met and Mrs. Williams re
ceived one-fourth of the collec
tion.
