Excerpts from the Presidents message follow Neither UNRRA ncir the armies are designed for the construction f or reconstruction of large scale public works or factories or power That job must be done othplants erwise, and it must be started soon. It is one of reconstruction which must largely be done by local people and their governments. They will provide the labor, the local money, and most of the materials. The same is true for all the many plans for the improvement of transportation, agriculture, industry, and housing, that are essential to the development of the economically backward areas of the world. The main problem will be for u these countries to obtain the means j of payment. In the long run we can be paid for what we sell abroad chiefly in goods and services. But at the moment many of the countries who want to be customers are unless a means of finprostrate is found, such countries will ancing be unable to restore their economies and, in desperation, will be forced to carry forward and intensify exof discriminatory isting systems trade practices, restrictive controls, competetive depreciation of currencies and' other forms of economic warfare.

BIGGEST INSURANCE CO. When the House of Representatives was asked to appropriate a billion dolla-- s for the National Life Insurance Division of the Veterans Administration, it was revealed here that the Government operated for the benefit of the veterans a life insurance company that from the standpoint of the amount of money involved, the number of policy holders, and the potential liability, is greater than all the life insurance companies in the country combined. These are the facts: 17 million, 00 thousand policies have been written, they total 125 billions in value, more than 118 thousand claims already have been allowed.
