barely sufficient to fill local de-

visited and the inspection show
ed that beans, corn and sweet pota
toes are the heaviest sufferers.
At one farm, the owner hao
planted three separate bean crops
in hopes of dry weather and had
nothing to show for his labors.
The bean crop in this area has
been particularly hard hit and only
few bushels have been picked in
the county, Mr.. Galphin said.
The land is drying off slowly, he
stated, and some farmers have

Colonel Dyke Meyer, forme,

formal talk on the operations of the
U. S. in the latter days of the war

set the turning point in the air
war, as well as the ground war,
the first time the United States Air
Forces were able to send bombers
over Berlin with fighter escorts.
No other country employs il
power to the extent that we do, he
said and the devastation in Ger

Answering a question, Col. Meyer
explained that the non-fraterniza-
ton policy had, as its main pur-
pose, prevention of sabotage which
had been anticipated. In a toe
friendly atmosphere, there might
be leakages of information, he ex'
planned. When it was found that the
German people were not inclined tc
sabotage as much as had been be-
lieved, restrictions were lifted.
Generally good treatment was
given to downed British and Amer.

in the hands of the German mill
tary and most of the mistreatment
was suffered at the hands of the

EMPIRE
SYSTEM

DNI 1SH bALNIVO
Preference Policy Aband.
onment Demanded By
United States
BY r. H. SHACKFORD


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - Great
Britain is baking at complete
abandonment of her ''empire pre-
ference" system of trade, one Of
the key u. S. demands in the cur
rent Anglo-American economic
talks, it was learned tonight.
The British, here to get between
three and six billion dollars of U.
S. aid, have countered with a pro-
posal to do it on a selective basis.
They are arguing that, under the
reciprocal trade agreements C t,
the United States is not able to
make across-the-boards tariff re-
auctions - but only cuts on select
ed articles in return for compar-
able reductions by other countries.
Therefore, the British thesis con-
tinues, Britain should not be called
upon to adopt a policy differing
from the American system.
Under the British procedure, Bri-
tain's dominions and colonies get
favored trade treatment.
It is a major issue among the
conferees and one on which assis-
tant secretary of State William l..
Clayton, head of the U. S. delega-
ton, feels very strongly. He wants
empire preference abandoned S Q
that the United States will be sure
to benefit if it makes Britain a
loan or grant.
Earlier today, Acting Secretary
of State Dean Acheson predicted
that a recommendation for Ameri-
can financial assistance would
emerge from the conference.
His statement was made at a
press conference a few hours be-
fore Lord Keynes, British econom-
list and one of the British delegates,
began outlining the British position
to the -conferees who met behind
closed doors in the board room OF
the Federal Reserve building.
Keynes promised the conference
Tuesday that, at the end of his
presentation, he would offer Bri'
fish suggestion for solving Britain
financial problem. He is expected,
in effect, to call for an outright
U. S. grant of between $4,000, Ooo
600 and $4,000, 000,0
Acheson said the whole broad
field of International finances, com
mercial policies, and future trade
arrangements would be surveyed,
but that definitive agreements, on
most of those issues would come
later.
Meanwhile charges that Britain
is seeking American aid to finance
q program of Specialization" were
renewed in the house by Rep,
Harold Knutson, R., MINI. A pre-
vious charge to that effect was des-
cribed by President Truman
Wednesday as perfectly silly
Knutson, replying to Mr.. Truman,
recalled that previous British La
Dor government under Ramsey
Macdonald had repudiated Bril-
tain's debt to the United States.
"What one labor government has
already DONE" he said, sit is per-
fectly capable of doing again"
