REHIRING
(Continued From Page 14)
Obsprvation : Although no credi t is
given for age, the parenthood credit will
generally tend to favor older men. Note
that no credi t is give n for dependents other
than minor children. H ence no preference
accrues to married men without children.
The probability is that children horn af·
ter Pearl Harbor will co unt, thou gh they
were not cons id ered for dependency defer·
ments in the draft.
Only "Surplus" Groups Included
This system of priorities will apply only
to groups specifically labelled '·surplu s"
by the War Department. In other words,
the program will not operate to release
men with th e greatest number of credi ts
irrespective of their war th ea tre or branch
of the service. From thi s standpoint, men
in th e European th ea tre have the best
cha nce of being marked surplus, men in
the Pacific th eatre the wor~t . In the Euro·
pea n 70 ne, membe rs of the Air Force and
the various branches of th e Service Forces
will be the last to be designated as sur·
p"'s since they will be cri t ically needed
for the Pacific phase of the war.
This demobilization program appli es
only to th e interim period between th e
end of the war with Germany and the
conq u est of Japan. No similar plan is

being considered by th e avy, which ex-
pect, to draw on its peak strength to
finish th e J apanese war.
Observation : Priority of release for
members of the Women's Army Corps will
be determ in ed in th e same way as for
th e rest of th e Army, but thi s Co rps will
be trea ted as a sepa rate unit. Howeve r,
in the case of a ll fema le personnel in th e
Army, those with hu sba nds already re-
leased will be discharged upon application.
No Prefere nce for "Ke y" Men
The order in which serv ice men will be
released from surp lus units will take no
acrount of whether or not a particular in-
dividual is a sk ill ed or '·Key" man highly
essentia l to his former employer during
the reconversion period. There were many
cases during the war in which the Services
released men vitally needed in a critical
war industry, but for demobilization pur-
po~es a ll men will be considered equal
except as th eir credi t cards may entitle
them to preferential treatment.

"Becau~e trade always is predicated upon
a two-way transaction, importation of raw
materials from foreign countries will be of
vast he lp in acco mplishing thi s object.
Through importations, large cash reserves,
which will not leave tb e United S tates, ca n
be established. Eventually this exchan ge
will be available to pay to some United
States manufacturer - poss ibly the one
which ,helped create the reserve by buying
abroad. "
This region, he showed, is well su ited to
vast foreign trad e relations. Los Angeles-
Lonl! Beach ha rbor is one of tbe best
eq uipp ed and most stra tegically located
in the world. The area has become highly
industrialized, and will have a large fl eet
of ships, its share of the present merchant
marine to ser\'e as carrie rs.
"Relaxation of import li censing and ex-
c han ~e co ntrol regulations," Harris con-
tinued, " must be accomplished as soon as
possible to fac ilitate th e exc hange of goods
and materials. Leaders of variou industries
are studying th ese problems and many
suggestions will be offered by speakers
during Foreign Trade week.
"Groundwork for postwar foreign trade
can be laid now," Harris explain ed, "wi th
greater ease than in th e postwar era when
com petition for th ese connec tion s will be
espf'c iall y keen in other parts of this coun-
try.
"The Los Anl!eles Chamber of Comme rce
World Trade Department has a lar!!;e ac-
cUlllulation of inquiries seeking trade re-
lations, which are available to thi s area's
importers and exporters.
"Every firm planning to engage in for·
eign trade after victory, would do well now
to appoint an official to meet visitin~ buy-
ers and shipp ers from other co untri es, and
to handle th eir correspondence. In thi s
way, advantage may be taken of a prevail-
ing situation , wh ich if treated properly will
g ive business men of this area a co nsider-
able edge over co mmunities which durin g
the war are not alert to postwar trade."
