Steps 10 Coordinate
Allies War Strategy
Taken, British Say
Government Also Tells
Commons Soviet Wasn't
Asked to Fight japan

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 17,-Government
spokesman told the House of Com
mons today that all steps had been
taken to coordinate British, Amer
lean and Allied war plans in accord
with President Roosevelt's call for
"World-scale strategy" but that
Britain had not asked Russia to
declare war on Japan.
These statements were made by
Richard Lew, undersecfetary for
foreign affairs, and Lord Privy Seal
Clement R. Attlee, in a session
largely devoted to the question OF
cooperation among anti-Axls allies.
Law said China had full legal
status as British ally.
Questions Fired at Spokesman.
Members of the House, fore
shadowing a querulouS tone Tor

war situation, bombarded the gov

The government, despite state
ments that Allied war plans were be-
ing co-ordinated, gave no sharp lndl-
cation on the idea OF an oVer-all war
council. President Roosevelts con-
cent was brought into the debate
by Edgar Louis Granville.
Duncan Sandys, financial secre-
tarv of the War Office, rejected what
he called the implications OF a
question by Russell Thomas as to
gross understatement" by the nigh
command of the British position in
Burma but said that information
was being received on the subject.

concern since the British lost the

Authorities in Natal
Alarmed at Erosion

Soil erosion and damage done to
land In Natal, particularly in the
"thorn-veld" area, is causing grave
alarm, according to J. A. Pentz, pas
ture research officer, at Pieterma-

acres surveyed, land completely
eroded to shale covers 81 500 acres.
The areas still under cultivation, but
for the most part eroding badly,
cover 1921 acres.
Sheet erosion and overgrazed
hillsides not yet denuded beyond re-
pair account for an additional
37,465 acres. Only 38,762 acres re-
main in fair condition. Most of
the badly eroded farms are owned
by Europeans but occupied by ma
tives, who are seldom under super
vision and control. Fentz holds that
