WASHINGTON. _ It will take years to untangle the complicated mess in which the war left Amer¬ ican investments in foreign coun¬ tries, with scant chance of 100-cents- on-the-dollar settlements, say gov¬ ernment officials, according to the Associated Press. A thousand and one headaches have developed to plague United States economic experts attempting to find a solution to a problem which involves the industrial future of Eu¬ rope as well as such questions as taxation, war damage claims and reparations. Plan for Compensation. Representatives of at least three departments—state, treasury and commerce — already have begun tentative consideration of a meas¬ ure for congressional action to com¬ pensate, at least in part, legitimate victims of the fortunes of war. The magnitude of the problem will be measured largely by the limitation ultimately Imposed by the Allied Control commission on Ger¬ many’s future industrial produc¬ tion, and the extent to which that limitation affects American prewar investments. Under plans laid down at Pots¬ dam, Germany will be stripped of its industrial war potential, and its manufacturing output for export will be limited to what the country must have to pay for imports es¬ sential to its domestic economy. Industrial machinery beyond this basic core will be dismantled and, in most cases, be used as repara¬ tions to replace and rehabilitate in¬ dustries looted or devastated by the Nazis throughout Europe. Had Big Investment. Government officials said that some of this machinery will be American owned. They estimated that American investments in Ger¬ many before the war amounted to approximately $1,300,000,000. Under present plans, the Amer¬ ican owners would be given first opportunity to purchase their own property, for use somewhere out¬ side Germany, while retaining a claim for war damage against the government. But this procedure has not received as yet the wholeheart¬ ed approval of this government. One faction among the American economic experts has been advocat¬ ing governmental discouragement of American firms operating branch factories abroad. It has contended that many of these branch factories were operated before the war at a loss, and were maintained chiefly to discourage development of foreign competition. Meanwhile, it was learned that a number of big American companies, with foreign branches located in for¬ mer occupied or enemy countries, obtained tax reductions during the wartime years by writing off such plants as a loss. An Enoch Arden Story With a Happy Ending EL PASO. - M/Sgt. George Phil¬ lips’ Enoch Arden story had a hap¬ py ending. He was honeymooning with his wife, who had married another man after the war department mistaken¬ ly reported her soldier-husband dead. Mrs. Virginia Phillips, 32, had her marriage to Robert P. Moore, Phoneton, Ohio, annulled and re¬ married Phillips. The sergeant has filed a petition asking permission to adopt the 14- month-old son born to his wife and Moore. The infant, Frank, and the Phillips’ own two children, Lucille, 13, and Lavena, 11, were with them on their honeymoon. Phillips, 32, was liberated from a Jap prison camp last September. “George came to me,” Mrs. Phil¬ lips said, “and when we looked at each other I knew it could be no way for us except together."

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES. TRENTON, GA„ THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1946 05 ! V i W * ..VX - • * * , , r For Easter Dinner (See Reci Dish Up Color, Springlike Flavor In Easter Foods This year Easter should be all you want it to be. The spirit of peace and well being is with us. Loved ones have re¬ turned, and spring has be¬ gun. For the h o m e m a k er, Easter dinner will be fairly easy to prepare as long awaited foods have returned in quantity. If you like ham, then make it as pretty as a picture with your clev¬ er hands and nimble fingers. Set it on a table with a cool white or pastel cloth with your nicest ar¬ rangement of fresh garden flowers. Lilies, of course, are nice, but there are other floral arrangements that will do wonders. Daffodils are fresh and cheerful. Tulips with snap¬ dragons make an elegant center- piece. Modern food processing makes your ham tender so that there need not be any pre-cooking with the bet¬ ter brands. The ham will require only a thorough heating through which does not take more than 2 to 2 Vi hours even for the larger pieces of meat. The appetizing glaze Is easy to prepare, and the crusty goodness it gives the meat will make everyone vote you their favorite cook. The glazes are many and you can just take your choice. An especially easy one is to spread your favorite citrus marmalade on the ham dur¬ ing the last half hour of baking. In selecting the ham, consider the number of people you want to serve. For six people you will need a ham weighing 6 to 8 pounds. Naturally, if you want to have ham for slicing and leftovers, get one of the larger sizes. There’s always good eating in it. Your choice of potatoes with ham will usually come around to sweet potatoes, and perhaps white pota¬ toes, too. Sweet potatoes are lovely to eat when candied with syrup (maple flavored) and butter in a heavy skillet. Another nice way to prepare them is like this: Whipped Sweet Potatoes. (Serves 6) Peel 6 sweet potatoes, boil un¬ til tender for about 15 to 20 minutes. Mash with potato masher or ricer, with 4 table¬ spoons of butter. ^ Season with a dash of salt and nutmeg. Pile into orange cups; sprinkle with brown sugar and place Lynn Says Coatings for Baked Ham: You can enhance the flavor of your baked ham with one of these delectable coatings: Spread the ham thinly with pre¬ pared mustard, then sprinkle with brown sugar. 1 Mix 1 cup brown sugar with teaspoon of dry mustard and 2 to 4 tablespoons of vinegar and spread over the ham. Heat 1 cup cherry juice with 1 cup strained honey and baste ham frequently with this mixture. Baste the ham with any canned fruit Juice to improve its flavor two-fold. Canned fruit nectars, cider, pineapple, prune or apple juices are delightfuL Another attractive way to pre¬ pare ham is to place thin slices of unpeeled orange over the ham and cover with this brown-sugar syrup. To make the syrup, com¬ bine 1 cup brown sugar with % cup water. Bring this to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Baste ham with strained honey which has been mixed with chopped maraschino cherries. .

Pour into a mold which has been brushed with salad oil. Chill until firm. Unmold on lettuce. Garnish with salad dressing. What to do with Leftovers. There are so many things you can do with leftovers from a dinner like this that your family would never real¬ ize they are be¬ ing treated to the scraps. Here are suggestions which you will enjoy using again and again: Upside-Down Ham Loaf Melt \Vi tablespoons of fat in a heavy skillet and cover the bottom with leftover pineapple pieces or thick slices of apples which have been pared and cored. Cover this with the following mixture: 3% cups ground cooked ham, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon mustard. Mix well and place over the fruit in the skillet. Bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Pour off ahy excess fat and turn upside-down on a serving plat¬ ter. This serves from 4 to 0. Rice and Ham Ring. 2 cups cooked rice 1 cup ham, diced 1 egg % cup condensed mushroom soup Yi cup milk Yi teaspoon salt % teaspoon dried basil 1 cup crushed potato chips or bread crumbs Combine the ham and rice and mix thoroughly. Combine and heat the remaining ingredients with the exceptidn of the potato chips of bread crumbs. Grease a nine-inch ring mold and place layers of the rice-ham and egg-mushroom mix¬ ture in it. Sprinkle the top with potato chips which have been crushed, or the bread crumbs. Place the ring mold in a pan of hot water dnd bake in a moderate oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Invert onto a hot platter and fill the oenter with a buttered green vegetable and sur¬ round the mold with Julienne car¬ rots. Serve immediately. If the ginger ale salad has melt¬ ed slightly, it can be chilled again in a flat pan. If there’s not enough to go around, serve it in small cubes with extra fruits mounded on let¬ tuce. Garnish with salad dressing and maraschino cherries. Released bv Western Newspaper Onion. Released by Western Newspaper Union, OVERSUPPLY OF CURRENCY MAY CAUSE INFLATION . MORE THAN 100 MILLION of our 140 million Americans have a direct interest in one or more of the fol¬ lowing forms of investment: stocks and bonds of corporations, savings deposits in banks, holdings in build¬ ing and loan companies, insurance policies, government securities. Such things represent a large portion of the wealth of the na¬ tion. All of them would be wiped out, or seriously affected, by a runaway inflation. The causes leading to such an Inflation are: An Insufficient commodity production to meet the buying demand; a continu¬ ing upward spiraling of wages and prices; an oversupply of circulating currency; an unbal¬ anced federal budget, with con¬ tinued borrowings from the banks. Strikes, decreased working hours, slowdowns encouraged by union leaders, have prevented that maxi¬ mum peacetime production of com¬ modities needed to meet the unusu¬ al demand, created by four years of war. Labor has demanded and, in practically all cases, received high¬ er wages. That, with less working hours, and a lowered per man hour production, has heavily increased production costs. To maintain a pos¬ sibility of any production means higher prices for commodities. That marks but another step in the vi¬ cious circle of higher wages and higher prices. Nothing has been settled on a permanent basis. With¬ in a year there will be another de¬ mand for wage increases to be followed by another boost in prices, and so on to the end. The circulating currency is in¬ creasing with each passing day. It is now several times what it was as late as 1930. Backed by no standard of value it can continue to depreciate until it has no buying power. When we have reached that point we will have utter financial chaos, and be nationally broke. Such a con¬ dition not only can, but may, come unless something is done to check the present tendency. No real effort is being made to¬ ward that economy of operation in the federal government that can produce a balanced budget. We have a larger number of bureau¬ cratic civilian employees than were on federal payrolls during the war. We are proposing the expenditure* of billions in new social experiments, and the construction of new ven¬ tures. The budget is not balanced, and we are continuing the methods of deficit financing that can lead only to national bankruptcy. While all of these things happen a Nero congress continues to fiddle away on a partisan tune, more in¬ terested in securing a political ad¬ vantage than in saving the nation from that dire disaster—inflation. Congress can do the saving job if it will but act quickly and honestly. Next November the people can act if congress has not done something more than play politics. WHAT A FARCE from our viewpoint was that not-so- long-ago election in Russia. There was one ticket only. The citizen voted that ticket or none. All candidates on the one ticket were picked by 13 men, of which Joseph Stalin is the leader. The elec¬ tion could not be other than unanimous. In Russia they call that democracy. It was about as democratic as the elections In the racketeer controlled labor unions in this country. We have no objections to the Russians having such a system so long as it is what they want. IN A SPEECH in South Caro¬ lina Federal Controller General Lindsay C. Warren named pos¬ sible avenues out of the present financial morass of the nation. As the second of these he said: “Should we not have an apprais¬ al of the never-ending succes¬ sion of new programs propos¬ ing large drains upon the fed¬ eral treasury? While some of these programs may be promot¬ ed from Washington, too often does congress mistake as the •voice of the people’ the nrg- ings of special pleaders, blocs, privilege seekers and treasury raiders. Business, agriculture and labor have a tremendous stake in a balanced budget, for, after all, they are the ones who must pay on the barrel head.” • • • PUBLIC OPINION can be molded much more effectively by factual in¬ formation, presented as such, than by rabid denunciation of the cause to which you are opposed.

As the work started from both ends, at 3,801 feet above sea level on the French side and 4,236 feet on the Italian side, and a hump was required in the middle for drainage, drilling not only had to be done in a straight line but at a certain gradient which was ten times steeper on one side than the other. Nevertheless, the passage¬ ways met with a difference of only one inch in direction and 10 inches in elevation. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST. OPPOR. Enormous Profits, sales sky-rocketing.
