credit picture by the Associated
Credit Bureaus of America indi
cates that credit customers are
still within bounds. ' While credit
outstanding is at an all-time high.
its ratio to the present total na
tional income is not as large as the
ratio in 1941.
Schmitz suggested, the follow
ing rules to keep purchases in line
with incomes:
Remember that you are going to
have to pay for merchandise you
buy; keep track of credit purch
ases; work out a budget system to
pay bills as agreed; and cooperate
with busy credit offices.

France, Britain
Bicker Over
Trade Policies
PARIS, Dec. 11 -4 A)- France
bluntly blamed Britain tonight for
one of the snags on which Euro
pean recovery planning is stuck.
, A Foreign Office statement said
Britain is trying to dominate west
ern European trading "in order to
make the Pound Sterling a rare
money."
In London, a Treasury spokes
man expressed surprise at the
Franch statement and declined to
comment except to say it "will re
ceive careful consideration."
Britain, the French statement
said, presented her plan for co
operation with the European Re
covery Program (ERP) under
which she "would reduce nearly
to nothing her purchases in west
ern Europe and would, on the con
trary, enormously increase her ex
ports." The French said under the plan
Britain "would buy, for ex.nple,
only $28,000,000 worth of equip
ment and products from western
Europe, while selling $430,000,000
worth."
The statement denied British as
sertions that one of the things that
is slowing up ERP planning is the
fact that France wants to sell too
many luxury goods.
Coal Output
Tops Demand
NEW YORK, Dec. ll-;p)-The
New York Times says soft coal
production is so far ahead of de
mand that mine operators would
not care of miners take an extend
ed "holiday."
In a dispatch from Washington
by Joseph A. Loftus, the Times
said stockpiles of soft coal were re
ported at 69,000,000 tons Novem
ber 1, the highest since before the
war.
Many mines in eastern Ken
tucky and southern West Virginia
are working only three or four
days a week now, the Times said,
and the six-day week has been
dropped in most areas.
"Captive" mines which produce
special-purpose coal for steel firms
and other industries are almost
the only mines now operating six
days a week, the newspaper said.
