Postwar Planners
Would Curb Prussia
BY the Associated rress.

BY the associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 2l.-The breakup
Of Prussia and division Of Germany
into 10 separate states, with efIec-
tive reparations and economic con-
troll, were proposed In a memoran-
dunn issued yesterday by a postwar
policy group Of 80 Conservative
members Of Parliament and peers.
They proposed to reduce Prussia
by partition from a population Of
39,000,000 to, $4,000 900 and forbid,
under threat Of economic penalties,
any attempt to recreate another
centralized Reich under Prussia's
domination.
Other states they advocated were
Rhineland, Westphalia, Hesse, Ham
over, Wurttemberg, Schleswig- -Hol-
stein, Bavaria, Saxony, Baden and
the old Hanseatic League towns of
Northern Germany.
The group, members of Prime
Minister Churchill's party, suggest
ed that Germany's means of pro-
duction and raw materials should
be transferred to or controlled by
the United Nations to repair war
damage and help rehabidtate Euro
pean economy. They also would
quota Germany's ships, trucks and
rolling stock and ban al aircraft.

ConnaIIy Urges U. 5.
To Acquire All Islands
Needed for Defense
BY the Associated Press

6y lne kSSOClAteQ fItSE.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee ex.
pressed the view today that the
United States should acquire title to
or long-lease possession Of 'all
islands necessary to its future de-
fense."
Military considerations should
dictate our negotiations looking to
the fertilization Of island outposts, "
the Texan told reporters. I'VE
should not seek possession for pos
sessions sake"
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, another supporter Of ad-
|ministration foreign policy, assert
ed in an interview that he wanted
the United States to have all bases
necessary to her own safety, and
just as much ownership and control
as possible"
Senator Connallys view is that
all islands in the Pacific recon.
quered from Japan are subject tc
continued United States occupation
In the postwar era.
I'VE should pick out all those Is.
lands necessary to our defense, ,
Senator Connally said. I'VE should
take all inundated islands in the
Pacific away from Japan. In the
Atlantic we should proceed to ne.
gotiate with our Allies for titles OF
long term leases on any bases which
might be necessary for the protec-
ton of our future security"
The Senate spokesman for the
administration on foreign policy de
clined to talk of specific outposts
other than to say he thought I'VE
ought to negotiate for a base in Ice.

Senator McKellar. Democrat. OF
Tennessee last week introduced q
resolution advocating permanent
possession of all islands in either
the Atlantic or Pacific which might
be considered essential to the de.
fense Of the Panama Canal.

At Taft Clause in Army Propaganda Law

law ridiculous Is not important. The
important thing is that Congress
has served notice Of its purpose to
make propaganda In this campaign

matter what the agency or who the

The prompt and indignant dis

with Senator Green, aided the SEN
ate in changing the law so as to
meet the sound objections raised

1t Is expected that the House
