I T* iie^Vorlc At a Gl a nee . By LESLIE EICHEL Central Pram Staff Writer NEW YORK, Aug. The fed eral government may have to estab lish sub-offices, sub-Washingtons throughout the United States. As Its business increases, whether it be relief or public works or agricul tural aid. or loans to corporations and individuals, the task of keeping in touch from Washington becomes more difficult. Much delay is occasioned nov through trying to handle every part of the government business from Washington. Net every city has the means to have an office in Washington, as has New York, to co-ordinate its corre lated municipial-federal government affairs. And state governments become angry and antagonistic because they have to wait in line in Washington like everybody else. Furthermore, the federal govern ment may be losing contact with public sentiment though its enforc ed isolation, due to the tremendous load that Washington is trying to carry. Federal sub-offices, with power to cut red tape in favor of action, thus may spring up in such centers as New York. Chicago. Philadelphia. Pittsburgh. Cleveland. Detroit, at. Louis. Kansas City. Minneapolis, New Orleans. Houston Los Angeles. Ban Francisco. Seattle All that, of course, is a mere guess. But this column has been fairly ac curate on Its guesses. • • • Neat Arrangement American corporations have been eager for some time to obtain cer tain orders frem Soviet Russia—Not ably railroad and electrical equip ment—which they knew could be had If there were a reclprocitv agree ment between the two countries Sentiment in the U. S. senate prob ably is anti-Soviet because of the belief that the Soviet would like to aee the capitalist svstem fall. At any rate, a regular treaty be tween the United States and the Soviet might have been subject to embarrassing denunciations. TT'Us the Roosevelt admin’etratior conceived the plan of effecting a one-vear reciprocal trade agreement which the president, under the re cent amendment to the tariff act may promulgate without runnin*' the gauntlet of the senate. The American firms cbtain the business, cuts are made on dutte' of Soviet goods which the United States desires, the debt of old Rtr «ia is not discussed, and social and political differences remain in sta tus quo Quietly, the Reconstruction Fi nance corporation hat divested Itself of its holdings In the Public Utli ties Securities corporation—one of the holding companies hoq the spot.’* The holdings have been exchanged for debentures of the Utilities Power and Light corporation, which Is not greatly Involved as a holding com pany. Now, defenders of holding com panies are crying, “See, the govern ment its”*' was interested in holding companies." The critics fail to add. however, that the government became Inter ested in holding companies solely to prevent them from collapsing be cause of their overload of liabilities It thus was protecting thousands cf security holders. who Otherwise would have been victims. huMDM Wealth The Soviet republic la producing gold in such large qu&nuues uu... u scon will rank among the leading gold nations of the world, with its stocks on hand. Production in 1834 amounted to only $150,000,000, but this year it Is likely to reach $225,000,000, with a goal of $335,000,000 for 1936 and $500, 000,000 for 1937. • • • The cry of New York banks that their earnings have decreased to nil because of cheap money and lack of investment demand is not home out by figures few the year ending June 29. According tc The Financial Aee New York banks earned 14 per cent on their combined capital. The earn ings were $13,613,850 in excess of dividend payments.
