THIS pregnant paragraph leads

The United States,- Britain
and Canada began momentous
talks today on the financial disas

W
HAT is this financial disaster?
And WHY is It?
LETS put it as simply as we can:
The need of the British for
things produced In America is
greater than their ability to PRO
DUCE THINGS TO SWAP FOR
THE THINGS THEY GET FROM
US.
That'a all there is to it But the
Lord knows It's plenty tough. If,
in this modern world, you can't
produce enough to swap to others
for what they produce, only ONE
HING can be In store for you:
YOUR STANDARD OF LTV
THING can be In store for you.
The same thing happens in
evitably to nations.
WHY did it happen to Britain? ;
That is a long story far i

Annexed Area Would Not
Be Appreciably Affected
By City Official Powers
Official powers of the city would have no appreciable effect
upon persons living in newly annexed areas, City Manager M. W.
Slankard said today.
In reviewing, some of the ob
jections and misunderstandings
connected with proposed annex
ation, Slankard said it was not
true that persons living in areas
affected would "have to change
their present way of living." Al
though police protection would
be extended to these areas, the
people would not be interfered
with, nor tfould many practices,
such as parking of trucks on
residential streets, be changed.
Cititens Make Laws
He said changes in the city's
policy and laws governing the
city, or areas to become a part
of the city, are made by the
citizens themselves. Changes also
are made by the people's own
representatives, the city council

President Truman Asks 10-Day Steel Truce
Fact Finding
Board Report
Not Released
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. UP)
President Truman todav asked
the steel industry and CIO Steel-
workers union for a 10-day exten
sion of the industry's strike truce.
The President's three-man fact
finding board today filed its rec
ommendations lor settling the cm
cial dispute with Mr. Truman.
Contents of the boards report
were kept secret but the White
House promised to make them
available for publication at 3 p.m.
(Pacific Daylight Time) today.
The President asked that the
present truce be extended at least
until Sept. 25, while the parties
continue bargaining on the basis
of the fact-finder's report.
He expressed hopes that the
findings can become the basis for
an agreement to avert a crippling
steel industry strike next week.
The report had added import
ance because industry and labor
alike look for any steel settlement
to become a guide In other indus
tries facing fights over a fourth
round of postwar wage Increases.
The recommendations were kept
secret. However, reports circu
lated among the parties in ad
vance that they called for no wage
Increase, but approximately 10
cents an hour for each worker in
pension and insurance benefits.
Aik 30 Cent Raise
The CIO Steelworkers union
had asked a 30-cent increase in

Skipper, Hopeful
It Can Be Floated

hopes It might be refloated today.

The Pacific Enterprise struck in
a fog so dense that only after the
crash and passengers were being
taken ashore was the coast line
visible.
The five passengers, who were
taken to San Francisco last night,
said they had presumed the ship
was 20 miles offshore.

Stand As Special Favor
As Trial Is Continued
That Victoria Sanders was "al

took the stand in the murder

She was Sister Ann Bernadette,

"Victoria has always regarded
me as a big sister," she told the
jury, "and asked counselling on
numerous problems. She always
confided in me."
The sister was a special wit
ness for the defense, who was
allowed to testify because she
had made a special trip to Rose

not yet through with its case.
Written Many Times
Sister Bernardette said that
Victoria had written to her many
times after she went to Cali

U. S. And Britain
Will Encourage
World Bank Loans
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. UP)
The United Stales, Britain and
Canada decided today that they
should encourage World bank
and U. S. Export-Import bank
financing In sterling area coun
tries to help Britain overcome its
economic crisis.
A committee report adopted by
the three-power conference on
Britain's problems said it felt
that a "properly directed flow of
K reductive Investment" would
eln not onlv in meeting Britain's
current dollar shortage but would
also assist the attainment ol a
f roper balance between the Btit-sh-sterling
area needed for dol
lars and its ability to get them.
The committee report, which
was released by U. S. treasury
Secretary Snyder, as spokesman
for the conference, made tnese
three main points:
1. The United States, Britain
and Canada should seek through
continuing study and consulta
tion to remove obstructions to tne
flow of private capital abroad-
meaning that efforts are to be
made to create opportunities ana
provide incentives for American
investors to put their money to
work in foreign countries.
2. The conference then decided
that "each of the three govern
ments should encourage, and
where feasible assist, prospective
Borrowers to present wen con
ceived projects which would
qualify for financing" by the
world bank. It was further de
cided that countries which are

encouraged to join the Interna
tional fund and bank in cases
where they do not already belong.
3. The group agreed mat tne
World bank Is the "prime source
for International financing of
basic economic development from
public funds" but that the United
States Export-Import bank also
may assist sterling area countries
In financing purchases of Ameri
can goods and services.
