'CAN'T CONTINUE' NAM Told United States Must . Balance Its Exports, Imports By RICHARD FISKE NEW YORK-(JP The United States must balance its ex. ports and imports In jig time or lose the objectives gained through spending billions of dollars for foreign aid, the National Association of Manufacturers was told. ' Curtis E. Calder, chairman of Electric Bond and Share Co., a public utility holding company, said in a prepared address that he believed the United States will be forced to discontinue large scale foreign aid after 1952. He said it is obvious "we can not continue, indefinitely, to pour our national wealth and sub stance in unrequited exports." And, he added, a workable so lution toward closinj the foreign trade gap must be found before the European recovery program is terminated. Unless the problem is solved, he said, the United States will be faced with the disquieting al ternative of continuing foreign aid or of losing most of what it has ventured in its post-war program. Expansion Urged The solution most compatible with the role of the United States as a creditor nation, he said, is expansion of Imports. Calder spoke at the opening session of the NAM'S 54th an nual congress of American In dustry. The same session heard Paul G. Hoffman, economic coopera tion administrator, tell the 3,000 industrialists and businessmen that the cold war In Europe must be won. The alternative? "At best," he said in a pre pared speech, "we will have to become a garrison state on a war footing, with the return of con trols, allocations, rationing and all the rest of the war set-up." The first of three days of con ferences at the Waldorf-Astoria opened with discussion of Ameri ca's problems in foreign trade. It was sparked by Calder, who heads the NAM'S International relations committee. Three Alternatives Calder listed three alternatives In the effort to balance exports and imports substantial reduc tion of exports; a material in crease in foreign investments; a large scale expansion of imports. The expansion of Imports, Cal der said, appeared most com patible with our world role as a Grange Leader Gives "Must" To Ban Slump ATLANTIC CITY. N. J. The master of . the National Grange says labor, industry and agriculture must work together to avoid a depression in this country. "Russia Is waiting for us to fail we cannot fail," Albert S. Goss, of Washington told 3,000 delegates to the annual conven tion of the American Vocational association. ' Goss said the solution to the full production problem cannot be found In government aid. He said this raises the cost of living through higher taxes passed on to the consumer. creditor nation, but he added the foreign - trade gap might be bridged ultimately by a comblna tion of the three. A substantial reduction in ex ports, he said, might create se rious repercussions in the domes tic economy of the United States. Expansion of private loans and investments abroad would be only a partial solution, he said, because the , investments would have to be serviced and addi tional dollars would be needed for this purpose. The increase or imports, ne said, might adversely affect some elements of industry and agri culture at home. But, he added, imports are rec ognized as a means for drawing uoon the productivity of other lands and a necessity of assuring our national defense. Island Defenses Weak, Says Gov. PORTLAND UP) Hawaii's governor, on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor day, said the is lands' defenses are weak. In a weekly Press club radio interview, Gov. Ingram M. Stain back said that despite costs, he believed Hawaiian defenses should be maintained at a high level. They are not now, he said, but he declined to comment on any details. He parried- specific questions on military topics, but said the islands were on the pathway to world conquest which he said Premier Stalin outlined in 1928 China, the Philippines then east ward. The CIO International Long shoremen's union, he said,, has some Communists in key posi tions, but the rank and file mem bers are not Communists. He said Communist infiltration might be a greater threat than war. Asked if union members were not likely to oust any lead ers known to be Communists, he said "that is a- consummation to be wished." . " Statehood for the territory would have no bearing on the military situation, the governor said, Lut he added statehood was deserved: the territory pays its own way In taxes and provides a lesson to the country in racial tolerance.
