Closer Coordination
Oh Allied Bureaus on
War Information Seen
Policies of Group
Expected to Conform
With owl Program

Closer coordination of United
Nations information activities was
promised after the first Washington
meeting of the nter-Allied Infor-
nation Committee yesterday.
The Office of War Information on
It's creation recently became a men,
Der of the two-year- committee,
which maintains headquarters in
New York, and now is to be repre-
sented in connection with all the
committees activities.
Policy to Conform With owl.
The policy and program off the
Inter Allied Information Center, it
was determined at yesterdays ses-
sion, shall in the future be consist
ent with the policy and program of
the owl.
In spite of reports, the meeting
was not called by owl Chief Elmer
Davis because of criticism of Ameri-
can short-Wave propaganda activi-
ties in foreign countries, owl Off
cials said today.
There have been criticisms, it was
admitted, but they are matters that
can be ironed out in conferences
and do not necessarily mean that
immediate revision of the American
policy is in the oflng.
Clarifies Main Issues.
1t is quite natural, it was pointed
out, that inhabitants of invaded
countries might feel somewhat diff
ferently about many matters of the
war from the people of the United
States, though not differing in the
main issues. Conferences of the
information committee, now that
owl is member. should do much
to smooth out these short wave
difficulties.
The committee, in furtherance of
the discussions held yesterday with
the Owl, will continue to maintain
in New York clearing house for
research and reference with respect
to- documentary material obtained
from information services of the
United Nations, and will coordinate,
prepare and make available mate
rial from United Nations sources for
radio, films, newspapers, and other
information media.

He said that although the Con-
gress party rejected the Cripps rep
resentations, this does not end the
matter" He contended that it failed
to represent majority of India s
millions.
He said the government intended
to give all the necessary support to
the Viceroy and executive "in firm
but temperate measures by which
they are protecting the life of Indian
communities and leaving the Indian
and British armies free to defend
the soil of India from the Japanese.
Fewer than 500 persons have been
killed in India since the disturbances
started a month ago, he said.

moment gives no occasion for undue
dependency or alarm" Mr.. Church

The Prime Minister spoke after
L. S. Amery, Secretary of State for
India, told questioners in Commons
that there is no room for negotia-
tions in the circumstances which
Mr., Gandhi has described as open
rebellion"
Mr. Churchill asserted the Con-
gress had come into the open as a
revolutionary movement" but has
been revealed as 'impotent in seduc-
ing the Indian Army and drawing
away from their duty an enormous
body of Indian officials"
The Congress does not even rep
resent the Hindu masses, he said. He
declared it to be "a political organi-
zation built around a party machine
and sustained by certain manufac-
turing and financial interests"
Concerning the possibility that
the Congress had been aided by
Japanese fifth columnists, Mr..
Churchill told the House that sit is
noteworthy, for instance, that COM
munications of Indian forces de-
Tending Bengal and on the Assam
frontier had been especially at
tackled"

Sweden CONDUCTING
large-ScaIe Tests
Against Landings
Moves Reflect Fears of
Government; Nozis Press
Propaganda Campaign
BY MAX HARRELSON,
tN;Jo uya~ll

The Swedish Army is conducting
extensive anti-landing maneuvers
along the southern coast, across the
Baltic Sea from Germany, it was
learned last night, as Germany con-
tinued her anti-Swedish propaganda
campaign,
The most extensive air maneuvers
ever held in Sweden also are being
carried out over Central and West
ern Sweden. In addition, 1t was an
nounced that $4,000 men, previously
exempt from military service, will be
called up next month.
This will bring Sweden's military
strength up to approximately 600,-
900 men.
Reflect Governments Fears.
These moves probably have no di-
rect connection with the German
anti-Swedish campaign. which start
ed September with an attack on
the Swedish press and continued
yesterday with a Foreign Office
charge that Sweden is the Com
munist center of Europe"
But they do reflect the feeling of
the Swedish government that con-
slant preparations must be made
against an attack by Nazi forces
which now surround Sweden on all
sides.
Up to now Germany has had moth
ing to gain by an invasion of Sweden.
Ever since Sweden was isolated from
the rest of the world by the Ger
man occupation of Norway and Den
mark, Germany has been receiving
nearly all Sweden's exports, includ-
ing all her high-grade iron ore.
Sweden, however, has never been
free from fear that Germany might
find some reason for an invasion.
The situation might change, for in
stance, if the Allies should open a
second front in Norway. Sweden
then would have strategic value for
Hitler.
Large Scale Maneuvers.
So the Swedes have gone quietly
ahead with defense preparations.
Periodically, they have held large
scale maneuvers such as those now
in progress. They have built up an
air force which Is excellent, though
small. They have strengthened their
navy.
On June 13 Sweden's Parliament
tary Defense Committee approved a
five-year plan to expand the armed
forces at a cost of approximately
100000 900.
This week the Swedish Navy asked
$53,500,000 for the next fiscal year.
Another move to bolster the coun-
try's defense was the government
order to the commander in chief OF
the armed forces to eliminate all
unreliable persons" mainly pro-
Nazi officers.
This order was believed to be the
reason for Germany's charges that
Sweden was Communist center.
