War Surpluses and Civilian Goods
. . 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

dumped upon the market hastily.

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.
