Dewey obviously was aroused by

Washington. Sept. 25-AP- A
furious debate over how TO write a
hard peace for defeated Germany
shook the State War and Treasury
Departments today. The issue
may be forced to a showdown this
week.
The argument, revolving essent

man industry, stems for a split in

Treasury Secretary Morgenthau is
adamantly backing a plan to give

tary Stimson Is understood TO be
firmly opposed.
The third member OF the COM
mittee, Secretary Of State Hull, is
reported extremely cool toward
Morgenthau's proposals, but the
Treasury Secretary apparently has
considerable support for his ideas
from President Roosevelt who dis
cussed them at Quebec with Prime
Minister Churchill.
Pressure for Decision
There is pressure for speed In
arriving at some decision on which
positive American approach TO
the problem of Germanys future
can be based. This arises from
the fact that the fate OF Germany
actually is an Allied problem and

Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman OF the
War Production Board, prepared
today to report to President Roose'
welt on a mission TO China IN
which he surveyed the Chinese In
dustrial contribution to the United
Nations war effort.
Nelson returned from the Orient
yesterday. He said he was enthusi-

gress, but declined to comment on
his future in the WPB.
When he left here a month ago
there were widespread reports that
Nelson would not return TO the
WPB. President Roosevelt said
at the time that Nelson still was
WPB chairman, but did not COM
init himself on the future OF the
agency leadership.
Nelson, before his departure, was
engaged in controversy with rep
resentatives OF the Armed forces
over reconversion policies. The
WPB chairman advocated a system
OF gradual transition TO peacetime

for ,es opposed.
