On the contrary, the department

British Request U. 5.
To Keep Impounded
Assets From Nazis
PorIey Held on Billions
Of Funds of Nations
Dominated by Reich

BY the Associated Press.
Britain is seeking means to pre-
vent frozen assets" of German
dominated nations of Europe. from
melting in the United States and
flowing into the Reichsbank at Ber-
lin for use against the empire.
Assets of most German invaded
countries, the value of which runs
into billions of dollars, have been
virtually 'impounded in American
vaults under orders of President
Roosevelt. They cannot be removed
except under license from Secretary
Morgenthau.
It was disclosed by Sir Frederick
Phillips. undersecretary of the Brit
ish treasury, and Secretary Nor
genthau that there is consultation
between British and American rep
resentatitves about the frozen as
sets"
Sir Frederick, speaking for the
British, said:
Naturally we don't want these
assets to get under the effective
control of Germany"
He declined to say whether he
had received any assurances from
the United States that the assets
would remain frozen"
International law described such
assets as subject to blockade in war
times. Frozen" assets in this coun-
try include holdings of France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Dem
mark, Norway and Luxembourg, as
well as those of Russian dominated
Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
The official reason for holding
the funds and securities here is
that, should they be turned over
Ito any person except the rightful
owner. American banks might be
subject to damage suits. officials
have said privately that however,
there is possibility Germany might
force Withdrawals of such assets
under duress.
Secretary Morgenthau said re-
Gently that virtually none of such
assets had been licensed for with
drawal.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 20.-Grain prices
turned fractionally lower today in
reacting from yesterdays hot
weather inspired advance.
Wheat gave up major fractions
at times but other grains showed
less loss.
Although temperature readings
were not as high at some points
IN the spring wheat and corn belts
as on Wednesday and Thursday,
hot weather continued to prevail.
There were scattered showers all
through the grain belt, however.
and the forecast suggested a con-
tinuation of this type of weather.
Crop experts said this situation
probably would result in spotted
crop conditions, with areas favored
by frequent moisture holding their
own.
Important corn belt sections need
moisture and although the condition
OF the crop generally still is good
some anxiety has been expressed.
As yet no deliveries of grain have
been made on July wheat and corn
contracts, in which trading will
cease after next Tuesday. Cash
grain is quoted over the futures
prices in both cases.
Advancing corn prices. due to the
artificial scarcity of market supplies
with large stocks tied up under
loan, have carried domestic values
to level where importation of
cheap Argentine corn might be
possible at some parts. traders said
No business has been reported,
however. Private reports were that
Argentine corn could be delivered
at New England points from Boston
| at around 80 to 851a cents, COM
pared with offering Of 81 cents on
U. S. No. 2 yellow.
Oats and rye lost fractions while
lard was about steady.
Meanwhile. corn shipments from
Chicago to Eastern ports presum-
| ably to fill the recent large SUBJ
sidized sale to Great Britain con-
tinued. Vessels carrying almost
10000 bushels cleared overnight.
At II am. wheat was Nv lower
compared with yesterdays finish;
July, 73h; September, 74A, and
corn was A-Hs down; July, 62%
