TODAY'S BUSINESS MIRROR
Opposition Looms to U. S.
Guarantee to Foreign Loans
By SAM DAWSON
New York, Oct. 5 lift Some businessmen oppose asking Uncle
Sam to guarantee returns on their money if they invest abroad.
Some of the public do, too. Although they may have no money of
their own to invest, they can see how they might, as taxpayers, be
called uDon to foot the bill.
This is the issue in dispute
this week over President Tru
man's point four plan to export
American technical and financial
aid to underdeveloped areas
how can you induce Americans
to invest abroad, the way the
world is today?
The idea of the Investment Is
to raise standards of living in
lands friendly to the democracies
and thereby keep the commu
nists out. But even with the
Bed atom bomb blast still ting
ling nerves in Washington, some
economy - minded congressmen
are displaying coolness toward
the Idea of guaranteeing private
Investments abroad.
That some businessmen are
cool, also, might seem strange.
On the face of it, the guarantee
measure being brought up In
congress looks like a handout
. from the public purse to the
American businessman. If the
businessman makes money on
the foreign Investment, fine. If
he loses, the tnxpaying public,
whether they like It or not, will
make up the loss. What would
the Investor have to lose? Some
fay, plenty.
They figure that if the govern
ment guarantees the citizen's
money, It is going to want to
supervise the investments in the
first place, set tip rules for them.
nd regulate collections. The
nd result, they fear, would be
unsatisfactory to the U. S. gov
ernment, the investor, and the
foreign lands we seek to help.
And not too close a resemblance
to the American private enter
prise system which we recom
mend to the world.
Then what would these busi
nessmen prefer? Some of them
re telling congress this week
that the only way to get private
capital to invest abroad is to se
cure fair deal for it from
foreign governments. Given an
ven break, they say, American
businessmen are smart enough

to get along without a govern
ment crutch.
At least two important busi
ness groups the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the
national foreign trade council
are urging that no nation get
the proposed American aid until
it has signed a bi lateral treaty
assuring "fair and non-discrim-
natory treatment for American
enterprises and American invest
ments," as the NFTC spokesman
put it. However, some other
business observers even question
the real value of what they call
fair-promise treaties.

Baruch Urges
Stand-by Plan
New York,' Oct. 8 (P) Ber
nard M. Baruch, making his
first detailed statement on Rus
sia's atomic explosion, says the
United States should immediate
ly set up a standby mobilization
plan, including "thoroughgoing
civilian defense."
The financier, presidential ad
viser in two world wars, declar
ed yesterday:
''Everything possible should
be planned far in advance, de
bated and put in law now so each
of us knows what is expected
of him or her.'
The 79-year-old Baruch, who
differed with President Tru
man recently over the nation's
state of preparedness, also made
these major points in a state
ment to newsmen:
1. The atomic blast in Russia
dictates that the United States
must "maintain our overwhelm
ing advantage" in the field of
atomic weapons until there is
"safe and sure" international
control of atomic energy.
2. The United States should
"stand its ground in insisting up
on nothin less than a truly ef
fective international control of
atomic energy."
3. The United States should
reexamine its strategy for peace.

Alaska Defense
Set $137 Million
Washington, Oct. 5 USj A
big military construction pro
gram for Alaska, U. S. outpost
against aggression across the
arctic moved step nearer to
day.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) of
the house armed services com
mittee announced that he will
ask the rules committee to ap
prove authorization measures
for S137.738.712 and bring them
up in the house.
Vinson told his committee the
rules group has refused to let
a $600,000,000 over-all defense
construction program go before
the house but he believes it will
permit the Alaska section to be
acted upon.
The Alaska section contains
authorization for construction of
$23,164,000 in navy projects;
$38,4.10,800 In air force projects
and $66,480,700 In army proj
ects. Vinson said another bill to be
called up at the same time con
tains authorization for $7,663,
212 for construction of Alaska
communications system project.
Vinson said he also will ask
the rules committee to approve
inclusion in the Alaska bill of
authorization of $13,883,000 for
construction on Okinawa.
Voids Alaska's
Fish Trap Tax
Juneau, Alaska, Oct. 5 Wt
Federal Judge George W. Folta
threw out the new fish trap tax
yesterday on grounds that it
'infringed" on the operator's
right to share equally in the Al
aska fishery.
The tax, passed by the 1949
territorial legislature, was at
tacked by the P. E. Harris com-
any, operators of three can
neries and 25 pile and floating
traps in southeast Alaska, and
by the Mutual Trap company,
which operates three traps.
Territorial Tax Commissioner
M. P. Mullaney, defendant in the
action, contended the graduated
tax was a revenue measure bas
ed on ability to pay.
Judge Folta ruled, however.
that seine and gill nets, which
catch 60 per cent of the salmon,
were not taxed in comparison to
the traps. Therefore, he said, the
tax on fish caught in traps is
manifestly a tax on the trap it
self.
Judge Folta held that the lax
was "so excessive as to infringe
on the right to fish on the basis
of equality guaranteed by the
White act."
