Babson Says Excess Army and Navy Supplies May rretent a Babson Park, Mass, Oct. 22 the Government held bag containing $5,000,000,000 worth of goods of every kind and description. We all remember the so called "Army and Navy Stores" which for more than twenty years disposed of a portion of tnese goods. Undoubtedly they were a nuisance to old-line established retail stores. These Army and Navy stores seemed to have a never-ending inventory. War End to Bring Supplies Problem The great bulk of the $8,000.- 000,000 surplus was bought up hv mail-order houses and specu- lators at prlvato le!, or Bt BUC. tions. Through catalogues and low-rent stores these goods were then re-sold to the general pub lic at considerably less than re tail prices for similar goods. It took from one war to another to clean out Army and Navy in ventories of these materials, F if f were Bdapt. ed to the needs of World war n. Probably little of the surplus which remains at the end of this War will be retained by the Army aiiu wavy. Hence, the Government will be faced with another great problem of disposal. World War j excess supplies brought about 35 cents on the dollar cost. I should iudge that the govern ment will take another loss and this time a greater loss because of the larger quantity Involved. Such losses, however, are all a legitimate . charge against the cost of running a war. Washing ton should not be criticized for disposing of these goods at cut rates. However, steps should be taken to protect existing retail ers from unfair competition. Vast Goods Store To Be Liquidated It is estimated that when World War II ends the surplus goods and materials owned by the Army and Navy will have a value of at least five times that of the "odds and ends" which existed at the close of World War I. This means some $25,000, 000,000 worth of items. Consum ers, wholesalers, jobbers, manu facturers, mail-order houses and retailers are all vitally concern ed in this. To some groups it i means kwu uuauicos. U UUICtO) ld particularly to Tetaaen the . b bad. Obviously. means good business. To others, th mflterials shouid not be dumped upon the market hastily.

At the end of World War I ed, calling for a study as to ways and means by which these sur plus goods may best be disposed of. Some representatives want the entire matter placed under the control of the Budget Bur eau. Others seek to establish a custodian of surplus property. I strongly advise that retailers band together and insist that their consumers goods markets remain free from any unfair competition which in the end would hurt consumers as well Congressmen ought to be fairly busy with this! , , Army Now Releasing Some Consumer Items Already the Army Is releasing certain consumer items. These Include clothing, shoes, kitchen utensils and certain sunnlies which now have no direct mili tary value. The Army has more of these kinds of goods on hand for current sale than does the Navy. Sales by the Navy, for the present at least, are being confined to raw materials, scrap and machinery All these articles are first offered to other Gov ernment agencies. .If these agencies are not interested, the goods are men sold through the Procurement Division of the Treasury. Manufacturers, as well as retailers, may be Interested in securing lists of what is now available from Procurement Di vision Offices in Boston, New York, Atlanta, Washington. Cin cinnati and Forth Worth. Most of the Army sales are made unon a negotiated basis; but the Navy usually insists upon sealed bids. In certain instances the W. P. B. has allocated Navy surpluses to manufacturers who are in need of them. Any manufacturer engaged in war production who is presently cramped for machin ery and supplies of raw mater ials might do well to contact W. P. B. regional offices to see what is on hand. Prices have been running close to the cost of the materials Involved. In time of war, as we know lt today, tire Army nd Navy buy and use practically every kind of material that Is necessary to civilian life. This first brings about shortages in consumers goods but in turn surpluses are very apt to result. My own sug gestion to relieve the situation as it continues to develop Is to Include these surplus goods un der Lend-Lease and after the war to ' get rid of the balance through direct foreign sales. This would leave our domestic retail outlets free from unfair competition and introduce some of our foreign goods at extreme ly low costs to certain nations to which the war may not have brought them. CAT ENTERS TRIAL . Nassau, Bahamas, Oct. 22 (U.R) As in any good mystery story, a Maltese cat made an im portant entrance into the .Sir Harry Oakes murder case today, when Count Alfred de Marigny's written denial of the murder of his father-in-law was read in supreme court. Through the mention of the rut in th HAfenrtant' sisned statement to police, Defense At- j torney Godfrey. W. Higgs in dicated with his questioning to day that the cat will figure prominently in the effort to es tablish an alibi for the young French nobleman, who is charg with the murder.
