Use Of Yanks 10 Police
World Backed by Ball
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota contended today that Con-
gress can commit the use of Ameri-
can troops as part of an interna-
tional police force, at the discretion
of the proposed world security
council.
Senator Ball took issue in an in
terview with some members of Con-
gress and others who have asserted
that delegation of such authority to
the United States member of the
council, without congressional sane
tion each time the troops were used
against an aggressor nation, would
violate the constitutional provision
that only Congress can declare war
Senator Ball declared Congress
has all the policing authority needed
under the national defense section
of the Constitution, which defines
the powers Of Congress as including
the power to define and punish
piracies and felonies committed on
the high seas, and ofenses against
the law of nations"
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado expressed contrary view.
asserting that the assignment of
units of the United States Army to
take up arms against another nation
is an act of war which only Congress
could authorize.
Senator johnson said. however, he
believed that volunteer interna-
tional army could be recruited and
placed at the disposal of the world
security council to accomplish the
same purpose, without infringing
upon the Constitution.

bag of 5000 prisoners had been
taken below the river and 1t was

Drive for China Coast.
Allied strategy has called for a
drive across the Pacific, via the
Philippines, to the China coast and
a drive from interior China to the
same coastal point. The ultimate
objective was to provide China's
armies with American supplies and
technical training.
Until this could be accomplished
the aim was to keep pressure on
the Japanese from forward air bases
which had to be protected by Chi
nese armies. Recently the Japanese
have forced evacuation of some of
the best of these bases.
In sense, their place has been
taken, however, by bases on the
Pacific side, in the Saipan- Guam
area and now in the Philippines.
China Sea shipping and Japanese
cities which once could be reached
only from Asiatic bases are vulner-
able now from the islands.
Nonetheless. considerable effort
has been made to keep Free China
functioning effectively against Japan
and the United States virtually
alone has sponsored the role of
China as one of the "big four"
Allies
Dissatisfied With Results.
Delivery of the supplies was linn
tied to what could be flown in by
air and for months it has been
gen eral official knowledge here that
Gen. Stillwell and the American
chiefs of staff felt the Chinese could
do better job than they were
doing even with the inadequate re-
sources they have had.
The three great problems which,
in the opinion of authorities here,
confront Gen. Chang and the Gen.
trail Executive Committee are these
l. Reorganization of the army at
the top for immediate improvement
in the conduct of the war.
2. Establishment of relations be-
tween Gen. Chang and the Com
munist elements in North China.
This would help the current fighting
in South China little but would be
an enormous gain for the future in
which Russia may enter the fight
against Japan.
3. Broadening the base of the
government under Gen. Chang to
give it closer contacts with the peo-
pie, regarded here as a critical need.
Gen. Stilwell and Gen. Chang
have both worked hard to keep Free
China battling, even though isolat-
ed except for the supplies flown
"over the hump" But personal re-
lations for the two men have been
poor since they gambled on and lost
the battle for Burma in 1912 That
closed the last links of the Burma
Road and sealed China against sup

100000 Bearing
Arms for Britain,
.LytteIton Reveals

Oliver Lyttelton, British Minister
Of Production, disclosed in a speech
yesterday that the British Empire
has under arms nearly 9,000,0 0,0OO
men and more than 5000 women
exclusive of the home guard. Ex-
cerpts from the speech delivered
in Britain were made public by
the British Information Services
Our sacrifices in the war-more
than $4,000 casualties-are an in
dication of the British effort" he
added.
Mr., Lyttelton further asserted:
The complete Allied plan for the
destruction of Hitler will sooner
or later be unfolded, and every one
will be able to see for himself how
closely the strategy of America,
Russia and Great Britain has been
combined and synchronized. We
have good plans and good generals
and superior equipment. ="
He promised there would be no
slackening of the war after Ger
many's defeat.
Mr.. 'Lyttelton also declared the
whole structure of the military
and industrial effort of Germany
and her satellites has been deeply
shaken" by the stwo air forces of
Great Britain and the United States
and that probably many hundreds
of thousands of Russians as well
as British and American lives have
been saved by the sacrifices of these

Mexican Envoy Says

| hssoSidteu FIeSS FOTelBH correspondent,
BUENOS AIRES, April 29.-Up-
holding the principles of Pan Amer
lean solidarity, DR.. Carlos Dario
Ojeda, Mexican Ambassador to Ar
gentina, charged that he was mis-
quoted by United States Senator
Hugh A. Butler in the December
Readers Digest as having referred
to the good neighbor program as
"addel-pated responsibility"
This is false" DR.. Ojeda said,
and the diplomatic corps, high off,
Gals and public who heard me in
Ciudad Trijulli. whene I met Senator
Butler, will confirm it. On that oc-
casion I expressed the same senti-
ments I have expressed here and
said that our friendship with the
United States is one without
shadows"
Qn the magazine article, which
conceded with similar charge
in Congress, the Senator as
serted that the Government was
wasting $6,000,000,000 on projects
IN Latin America to back up the
good neighbor policy. He called
1t "a hemisphere handout that
is neither good nor neighborly."
He added, however, that the good
neighbor policy should not be
scrapped, but rather made "au-
thentically good neighbor.")
Sees Problems Confused.
THE trouble is that, unfortunately
Senator Butler doesn't understand
theaSpanish language and therefore
hiss information is one-sided and
imperfect" DR.. Ojeda said. "On
