This, he said, resulted from recog-
milton by neutral countries that
German credits will be useless when
she Is defeated.
Mr.. Luxford said one effect Of the
declaration would be to immobilize
virtually all looted gold until the
countries from which it was taken
can put in claims for it.

Quantitatively, the action will ap-
ply chiefly to Germany, reputed to
have about 1000 900 900 in looted
gold.
However, Japan has taken some
gold from China and Hong Kong
"and undoubtedly has been working
the Philippine gold mines," Mr.
Luxford said.
The action will not apply to gold
physically in the United States and
under earmark' to other countries
because this Government already is
convinced that such gold has clean
title.
Gold presently in other Allied
countries will not be affected by the
decree, but any future acquisitions
by such countries from neutrals will
bring them under the scope of the
declaration, Mr.. Luxford said.
The gold decree complemented an
announcement earlier this year
serving notice that the United Ma
tions would not recognize title to
property seized by the Axis.

There was sub crash-diving. We

it went over the spot four times

she came from New Jersey.
"She would name what she
claimed were our units and their
location and try to frighten us by
saying we would be blasted from

us If we wouldn't rather be home

agreed with her there.
But their propaganda line wasn't

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 22.-Aaron
H. Martin is one of Lancaster
County'ss storied plain people-and
he detests rationing.
He never registered for a ration
book-doesn't believe in it. When
war and points came, Mr.. Martin
and his wife and five children began
making their own shoes, raising and
processing their own sugar cane, and
doing without what rationed foods
they couldn't produce on their own
fertile lands.
But last night the rugged, 59-year-
old farmer gave up his one-man
fight against coupons and what he
calls RECOMMENDATION.
He packed his family and few re-
naming belongings into a Pennsyl-
vania Railroad train and set off for
a land where, as he put it, There's
no rationing and man can do as
he pleases."
Hereafter the Martins are going

to farm it in the state of San Luis
Potosi, Mexico.
"The poems down there" says Mr.
Martin, ARE mighty friendly"
Midway in his war on points the
farmer left his family here and
went to San Luis Potosi to investi-
gate.
The simplicity of living below the
border attracted him and he nc
longer listened when officials of his
Wenger Mennonite Church, his
neighbors and relatives urged him
to remain in the United States.
Instead he sold his 80-acre farm
his belongings, arranged for one
draft-age son, Levi, 10, to hire out
with neighbor farmer here and
told his other children, ranging in
age from 9 to 18, that they're about
to enter upon a new and richer life
He left his money in Lancaster
bank and told the clerks he would
send for it as soon as he has picked
out a good farm.

Stressing the need for mutual trust
and tolerance among the Allied
nations, former Ambassador Joseph
IE. Davies declared yesterday THE
Soviet Union, obviously, is as vital
to postwar peace as it is to the win
ming of the war"
Thanks to the cooperation of
Great Britain, the Soviet Union,
China and the United States, we
can now look forward to ultimate
victory with reasonable assurance"
he said in an address at the mid
winter Rollins College convocation
at which he was awarded the de-
|gree OF doctor of literature.
"But to win the war is not enough" "
declared the former Ambassador to
Belgium and Russia who came here
from his winter home at Palm Beach
for the ceremony.
1--WE, then, will be confronted
with the test which we failed to
meet Is years ago. The question
now, even as then, is whether the
human race has sufficient intelli-
gence and capacity to impose upon
itself conditions which will assure
that the future will, for a time at
least, be relieved Of mass murder,
fratricide and suicide-that which
we call war"
sOther honorary degrees presented
by President Hamilton Holt of Rol-
Inns included doctor of science to
Maj. Alexander P. de Seversky,
aviation authority, and doctor of
laws to Senator Pepper, Democrat,
of Florida.
Maj. de Seversky predicted in an
interview that the Japanese would
gradually withdraw from all their
outlying island strongholds, includ-
ing Truk, because these islands could
not maintain a strong enough de-
fense to cope with the tremendous
United Nations air power.
Victory over Japan will come only
after the United Nations have
brought to bear an all-out air Of
