12 Th Nawi-Rtview, Roseburg, Or. frU, Sept. 2, 1949 Americans Advise British To Modernize Methods If They Hope To Sell Products In U. S. By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK. (.T) The British dollar crisis could be solved if we would buy a lot more British goods. Then why don't we? The simple fact is: You can't make an American buy a British product if he doesn't want to. Very few persons buy a product in the spirit of doing good, or to use the International Jargon "helping to free world trade of its shackles." They buy because: They like the product, like the price, or need it and can't get It anywhere else. There are things which could be done about these points by the top British officials on their way here now to discuss their lack of dollars. And there are things which could be done by the Washington officials who will confer with them. Taking the last reason first, there are some products which the British effectively control for which there is a good market here: natural rubber, tin, cocoa, fine wool, and Scotch whiskey. The British would like to see our tariffs lowered on these, and all other of their products saleable here. Neither the American wool industry, nor the domestic liquor industry, nor any other Ameri can manufacturer who makes foods in competition with the iritish, is likely to champion the British idea. As for tin, rubber, cocoa and wool, the British would like to have Washington committed to buy fixed quantities at fixed prices for several years. Ameri can consumers and taxpayers might be dubious about shackl ing themsleves to such a deal. Americans Give Advice Americans have been very vo cal in recent months in their opin ion of British products and firices. From highest official to owliest backseat driver, they have told Britain what it shoulJ ao. First, it should learn more about American likes and dis likes, distributing, advertising Refinisii i Cracked Walls p beautifully without replastering 1 and selling methods, fust how the resulting competition in our domestic market would set with American businessmen has gen erally been ignored. Second. British prices miut come down. Many Americans contend that British machinery is out of date and factory meth ods hide -bound and Inefficient. They think the output per man hour is much too low in England. They contend that the British na tionalization program is wasteful and uneconomic. And the three combine to make British prices too high. And some Americans contend that the British must cheapen their money in terms of ours. This would make British goods lower priced for us to buy with our dollars. However, it would also make Just that much higher the price Britons must pay for American goods they must buy. And, since in July they bought four times as much from the United States as they sold here, the British contend they could only lose in the deal. Many Americans reply that sooner or later the British must Improve their methods, lower their production costs and meet changing world trade conditions. These things no matter how much we help them financially from time to time are things, many say, which the British must do for themselves. xpttmm. r Mm .,, v . . . .. o:- ' .-. i . .

The appoint ment later was withdrawn by President Truman. Wallgren said in a recent in terview at Everett that if he had been confirmed for the board chairmanship the issue of removal of bomber production from Boeing's Seattle plant to the mid west never would have been raised. The Times correspondent re ported: "A high source disclosed that President tTruman plans to re nominate Wallgren for chair man as soon as congress goes home, probably around Oct. 1.
