With Reds Signed by
u. s., Britain, Canada
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The United States, Britain and
Canada have signed the fourth
lease-lend agreement with Russia in
Ottawa, the State Department an
nounced last night.
The agreement, which was signed
Tuesday, covers period from July
l, 1914, to June 80, 1915. Thus it
has only a little over two more
months to run.
No dollar value was placed on the
agreement, which was in effect a
shipping schedule Of supplies which
for the most part already have been
delivered.
It was said that the lease lend
agreement applies only to strictly
wartime supplies and that there was
no provision for long range goods
for which Russia could pay later.
Provisions of that nature were in
corporated in the recent British and
French agreements.
Russia has put in a request for a
$4,000, DOC, 900 credit from the United
States and the signing of the pro-
tocol was delayed for several months
while the four powers discussed
whether any goods which might be

Shoes Taken Away.
I'm June, 1914, the Japanese said
we were to be moved. They asked
for list of patients who could ride
sitting down. I was Ill, and was on
that list. Our shoes were taken
away, we were blindfolded and
roped together. We waited for three
hours and then were loaded into
ton-and-a-half trucks, standing up,
AZ men to truck, and rode for four
and half hours.
I'VE were put aboard a small
freighter, $40 men in each hold.
After five days we arrived at Cebu
City and were placed In a stockade
there. Then we were placed in
smaller vessel, so small that If we
wanted to lie down we had to lie
one on top Of another. There was
no water at all one day.
Finally, after 81 days, we reached
Manila and Bilibid Prison" It was
there that Comdr. Lehman finally
was liberated.
Children Grown Up.
In his absence Comdr. Lehmann's
children had grown up. A daughter
Miss Mary Elizabeth, is now 10 and

He was so thin they didn't recog-

remove the only direct threat Of
aggression against China in thu
Far East. However, that very event
will open up an era of large-scale
readjustments in the Orient In
which China will try to safeguard
her position and expand her in
fluence.
AS a great power in population
and tradition but one notably
weaker militarily than the Big
Three. China looks to the security
organization to be set up at San
Francisco as a forum in which Far
Eastern issues can be threshed out
after the war in a peaceable way.
The great interest China is taking
in San Francisco is indicated by the
large delegation she is sending there
more than so delegates, experts
and advisors, headed by Foreign
Minister T. v. Soong. His first
lieutenant will be Wellington Koo
Chinese Ambassador to London and
a veteran Of diplomacy, who headed
the Chinese group at the Dumbarton
Oaks parley here last summer.
See Possible Discord. e
Japan's fall, it is realized, will
leave in the Far East four principal
powers-China, the United States
Great Britain and Soviet Russia
No one sees any immediate threat
Of disputes among them so grave
that they might result in military
action.
However, realists see two possible
areas of discord between China on
the one side and Russia and Great
Britain on the other.
Diplomatic sources here believe
that if Russia enters the war against
Japan, as appears likely, she will
consider herself entitled to either
direct control of or surely special
privileges in certain areas which for
decades have been goals of Russian
foreign policy.
No Specific Claim Made.
No Russian official has made any
specific claim, but many diplomats
believe that the Soviet Union may
seek to regain its former sphere of
interest in Northern Manchuria.

VI7HAr OF THE wages of the future' This
w question is bound to come up in any discus
sion of postwar planning.
On this, our attitude is clear. No wages are
high that are earned Fifty dollars day canned
is none too high. But dollar day uueayned is
much too high.
More Roductve Methods
Wages are part Of the product. They are not the
result Of the employers generosity, nor the en-
ployee's ability to bring pressure to bear.
American Industry has continuously developed
methods whereby man receives more pay for
fewer hours but still increases production. And
80 it will continue to be.
But wages are only one of Industry's problems.
II Better World Must Come
Millions of young men and women have been
Withdrawn from their homes and careers. Bust
ness is shorthanded Many industries have been
seriously disrupted. Public debt and the casualty
lists mount higher every hour.
Victory, therefore, is the greatest concern Of
everybody. After Victory, all of us must strive
to build better world "a world in which such
misfortune can never happen again.

tlevision and giant planes -. will contribute
much toward building better and stronger
American people. Butthese alone are not enough.
Confidence is the first need confidence that
work brings reward. Such confidence cultivated
in people generates enterprise and effort.
Industry. being part of the people, responds to
the same stimulus :. and is ready to initiate and
work and invest all for the treasure of life in
America.
Youth Must Haze Obbo,tunify
The way must be kept clear for independence in
business and for young men to start new
businesses. Vigorous competition and initiative
have carried our country safely and far.
American business is not performing its COM
plete function unless it makes available to every
family traditional American standards of living.
American business also must serve social order
and social advance. There is little room for racial
or religious prejudice or class distinction when
country is alive with energy and is working.
These are some of the thoughts we hold as we
look toward the day when wages will again BE
earned by building, the goods Of peace.
