Washington, D. C, Sept. 11. While
the labor and farm bloc in congress
do not anticipate price regulation
provisions which would be detri
mental to them, in order to maintain
their bargaining position they are
keeping up their fight against the
bill to give Leon Henderson author
ity to fix prices. There is some
doubt whether such a bill can he
passed, anyway, as prices have not
yet advanced to the point where
they may be regarded as inflation
ary. Although there is considerable
pressure for price-fixing by law the
problem is so loaded with political
dynamite that many congressmen
oppose it and will refuse to take
any action unless conditions become
such that legislation can not be
avoided. Nothing can now be done
about it until after September 15
and the question is so controversial
that a decision could not be reached
before sometime in October. No
matter what the final outcome, there
is slight prospect that a ceiling will
be placed on wages or a maximum
on the price of farm products.
People of Oreeon who have
cash contributions to one or more
of the 349 agencies actively solicit
ing war relief funds in the United
States would find much interest in
a report by Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull tabulating these donations
during the period from Sept. 6, 1939,
to July 31, 1941. All organizations
soliciting funds for this purpose are
required to register with the secre
tary of state and periodically report
on the amount collected, the t"
actually sent to the supposed ben
eficiaries and the total administra
tive cost.
This tabulation shows that in the
period named the American people
have contributed in cash, exclusive
of the Red Cross, a total of $40,554.
058.97, of which $29,261,395.94 has
been spent for relief in the countries
designated and $4,263,725.25 has been
used for administrative expenses.
The unexpended balance, including
cost of goods purchased, is still on
hand.
Agencies soliciting subscriptions
range from the Adopt a lown com
mittee (England) to the Yugoslav
War Relief association of Seattle. As
is logical to exnect the largest fund
collected has been bv the British
War Relief committee, a total of $10,-
152,765.20, at a cost of $865,797.19
The smallest administrative cost is
reported bv Bav Ridee Allied Re
lief of Brooklyn, which collected
$63.75, sent $62.75 abroad and spent
$1 for expenses.
The Brooks County Allied War
Relief committee in West Virginia
collected $16 at no expense and still
have it. American Friends of a
Jewish Palestine collected $4,782.84,
sent to the designated beneficiaries
$1,927.02 and spent for administra
tive expense $2,855.82, thus break
ing even but with the highest pro
portionate cost of any of the listed
agencies. The International Chil
dren's Relief association is a close
second with $60 collected and $25
given as administrative exnense.
The outstanding activity of all. how
ever, was that by the Lithuanian
National . Relief committee, which
spent $894.99 and didn't receive a
single penny m contributions.
ordered; they wish to avoid such an
additional control of and Barticina-
tion in the transportation industry.
Ralph Budd, transportation head,
has complained that the defense
program is falling down because of
mabiliy to get materials delivered,
but freight car builders now have
been given priority rating A-3 which
places them on a par with planes
and ship builders.
Urgent need of foreign exchange
with which to purchase war supplies
is given as the reason or England's
attempt to sell steel tubes for an
oil pipeline in Argentina and mater
ials for the electrification of a Bra-1
zilian railway while at the same time !
taking enormous qualities of steel
from the United States under the
lend-lease act. American steel men '
complained that the British demands '
were so great that they were pre-
vented from bidding on the South
American business and intimated i
that Great Britain was using the
lend-lease act to promote its private
enterprise. The controversy has
been ironed out by the British agree
ing not to compete with American
exporters in foreign markets with
any products made of the same mat
erial being receivd from the United
States.
I are required to file the same with
said court on or before the time set
' for said hearing.
