To Subcommittee
For Further Study

War Department officials indi.
Gated last week that they expect
some determine ton on the reserve
promotion question no later than
July l, when the number of reserve
officers on active duty will have
reached the peak. This study has
been under way for several weeks,

that is acceptable. up to the pres
ent time. to the personnel division
of the War Department General
Staff.
Meanwhile, the House Military
Committee has turned the reserve
promotion bill over TO a special
subcommittee for study and recon-
mendation Considerable sentiment
exists to do something about the
reserves. Another proposal provid-
ing pay of grade for officers tenn
porarily promoted has served to stir
up sentiment favorable TO reserve
promotions.

serve officers are being frozen in
grade because they must await a
vacancy before promotion is pos

Provisions have been made for
the enlistment in the Enlisted Re
serve Corps of certain former en-
listed men of the Regular Army
who are within the selective-serv
age limits providing they have more
than two years Army service. ThiS
action modifles a previous ruling
which suspended enliStments or re-
enlistments in the Enlisted Reserve
Corps, except when specifically di-
rected by the War Department.
Under the new ruling. former Reg
ular Army enlisted men who have
had more than two years service
in any one enlistment. and who
have been discharged for the con-
venience of the Government, or by
purchase, or for dependency, may
be enlisted in the Enlisted Reserve
Corps. If they are qualified other
wise under existing Army regula-
tions.
Discharges before the term Of a
three-year enlistment is up have
been given for the convenience Of
the Government in many cases to
enlisted men returning from for
eign service who have sufficient
time remaining in their enlistment
to warrant assignment to a new
station.
The action was taken because it
was considered that all former Reg
ular Army enlisted men who had
had two years or more service had
received the desired training and
were qualified without reservation
for the Enlisted Reserve Corps. It
was felt that requiring such indi-
viduals to re-enter the Army
through provisions of the Selective
Training and Service Act was I'M
fair to the individual and not the
intent of the Act.

Japan May Continue
DeadIocked Talks
With Dutch Indies
New Efforts Indicated
After Domei Report
Hints Withdrawal
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 10.-Japan has
formulated a policy toward the
deadlocked economic negotiations
with the Netherlands Indies and
may instruct her mission at Batavia
TO continue efforts to reach an
agreement, reliable sources indicated
tonight.
This turn of events came after
Domei, the Japanese official news
agency, had declared withdrawal of
the negotiators now is mere
question of time"
High government officials were
| represented as favorable to con-
tinuing the negotiations with Lesser
officials holding the contrary view.
The newspaper Yomiuri said the
government had been asked by its
negotiators to call them home.
The Toxic press blamed Britain
and the United States for failure of
the Netherlands Indies to meet Jap
anese demands for greater share of
their tin, oil and rubber resources
but government sources maintained
a reserved attitude toward the sit
uation.
Proposals Unsatisfactory"
Koh Ishii, cabinet information bu-
reau spokesman, said the reply
which Dutch authorities delivered to
Japanese trade proposals last Friday
was very unsatisfactory" but re-
fused to say the negotiations were
taking on a political aspect when
queried about sharp editorial in the
newspaper Kokumin.
The editorial said the Dutch
answer signifies the start of war
for supremacy in the West Pacific
between Japan and the Anglo
American camp"
| Ishii also refused to say that the
editorial, and similar comment in
other papers, reflected the govern
ment's attitude.
IT can only say that the last reply
of the Indies was very unsatisfactory
and is under careful consideration" "
he said.
Negotiators Mark Time.
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, chief Jap
anese negotiator, still is in Batavia,
Ishii said, but is marking time pend
| ing word from Toxic.
dispatches from Saigon said
business leaders there predicted
Japan would seek larger share
of Indo-China' zinc, copra and
other exports as a result of the
Netherlands Indies stand. The
Japanese also we're expected to
begin exploiting mineral mines
in which they recently acquired
concessions in Northern Indo-
China
Kokumin, celebrating its theme,
said the Dutch rejection of Japan's
demands at this juncture cannot
merely mean a rupture in economic
relations. 1t is undeniably a chal-
lenge to Japan's co-prosperity
| sphere. - The Indies authorities
are playing TO the tune of the
United States and Britain. ="
