messed the signing.
Sun Fo, president of China's leg
islative Yuan, termed the pact an
epoch making accomplishment"
which he said would guarantee peace
in Asia for 30 years.
The treaty ends a !eng under
current political strain between the
two great Asiatic powers brought
about by the activities of Chinese
Communist elements who frequently
have been at odds with the central
government in Chunking. A race
between Chungking and Communist
forces to occupy North China cities
and capture Japanese arms there
had brought about a threat of civil
war since the capitulation of Japa-
nese troops.
The agreement provides for its
own renewal automatically for "an
unlimited period" unless within one
year before the expiration date one
OF the Signatories notifies the other
that it desires to end the pact.

and moral support to Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek'S government.

Admiral Halsey did not see the
Japanese emissaries, who were
turned over to his chief of staff
Rear Admiral Robert B. Carney
whose main task since early in the
Solomons campaign has been de-

The Japanese, including two ON

were instructed, among other
things:
ANY violence or resistance by the
Japanese will be held to be a mu-

Admiral Halsey watched the ar
rival Of the Japanese emissaries
through glasses from the Missouri's
bridge. The reception was cold and
formal and the emissaries were
marched through double lines OF
armed Marines to their conference
with Admiral Carney. The confer
ence lasted two hours and will be
continued tomorrow with Admiral
Badger.
The Missouri sighted Miyikishima,
go miles of the japanese coast, at
$50 am, and Comdr. Harold E.

ming Of public works. But 1t said
most Of these should be put In
effect only If and when they are
needed. =
The committee emphasized the
need for releasing men from the
military services as fast as possible
It termed the point system OF dis
charges forward step.
The group urged the States to
increase their relief programs where
necessary-to support those jobless
people who aren't helped enough
by unemployment compensation
payments.
AS for unemployment compensa-
ton, the Research Committee did
not recommend any definite max
imum weekly payment-but it sug-
gested that all the States raise
their benefits to approximately the
level of the States with the highest
standards.
Half a dozen States pay unem-
ployment compensation for a max
imum Of 26 weeks. Half dozen
States pay a maximum of $24 a
week or more.
The committee opposed any ma
tional policy of arbitrary reduc-
tions m the prewar normal work
week made solely for the purpose
of sharing employment"
It's opposition was that a ma
tional share the work" policy is
essentially q share the unemploy-
ment" plan.
Such plan, said the commit
tee, places the chief burden of
unemployment on the workers and
tends to restrict desirable labor
mobility. We do not want to freeze
unemployment into a short work
week."
Mr.. Flanders committee said no
amount of laws will be sufficient to
get jobs for veterans unless a spirit
of understanding and practical CO.
operation exists among veterans
agencies, employers and labor Or
ganizations
Inc committee recommended some
consideration for veterans who have
no unemployment rights under the
present law-for example, they went
from school to the Army and have
no job to come back to.
These men should not be penalized
because they entered the armed
services rather than commerce or
industry, the report said.

U. 5. Urged 10 Defray
Expenses for MOVING
Idle War Workers
BY the Associated Press.


A wide group OF business
men today called for immediate use
of Federal funds to get jobless war
workers moved to where they can
get jobs.
The group-the Research Com
mittee of the Committee for Eco
nomic Development, which is made
up of $500 local committees of bust
nessmen-also suggested that most
States should increase their un-
employment pay for jobless people.
These were other recommended
tions Of the Research Committee,
headed by Ralph E. Flanders, pres
ident of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Boston:
/. Fast action by business in ex-
panding to create jobs-because ''by
properly timing their actions busi-
neSsmen may make difference Of
several million jobs during the worst
part Of the change-over period"
Prewar Work Week Favored.
2. No national reduction below the
normal prewar work week FOR the
purpose Of giving more jobs. In
most cases the prewar week was 40
hours.)
8. Strengthen the public employ
ment services, keep them under
Federal control until the peak of
interstate migration has passed,
and then return them to the
States. They we're taken over by
the Government during the war.
4. Employers should live up to
the spirit as well as the letter" of
legislation designed to give vet
erans their old jobs back.
The committees report dealt
entirsly with ''change-over employ
ment"-caused by the sudden shift
from war to peace.
1t said that if adequate actions
are taken "large-scale continuing
unemployment is not inevitable
and can be prevented.
No estimate of the size of change
over unemployment" was given
nor any estimate as to how long
1t may last.
Early Works Planning Urged.

Badger will be passing into one of

Sd Fleet and the carrier planes will
be ready If needed.
The minesweeping Is tremendous

Inmates it will take SO American
minesweepers all night and most of
tomorrow to clear the channel.
An estimated 400 mines are at the
entrance to Uraga Strait alone.

Reds See Aid for China
As Poct's Muin Feature

MOSCOW. Aug. AZ R.-The 80
year Chinese-Russian pact was the
biggest news of the day in Russia
with the radio repeating its details
over and over to the capital and
provinces from early morning.
Pravda said editorially that the
agreement made Soviet Russia the
first state basically to recognize
the sovereignty Of China and recog-
nize its rights.
The principal feature Of the al
lance, as viewed by Moscow OBJ
servers, was the overall agreement
for moral support and technical
equipment to China from her great
neighbor who shares with her the
longest land frontier in the world.
Recognition to the government OF
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
without mentioning Chinese Com
munist forces and recognition Of
the sovereignty Of the Chang gov
ernment in Manchuria were regard
ed here as putting to rest many
sided rumors that the Soviet Union
was seeking an interest in Man
churia or would back Chinese Com
munist claims in Manchuria.
Secretary of State Byrnes hailed
the Russo Chinese treaty as "a
practical example of the continu-
ing unity and mutual helpfulness
which should characterize the acts
Of members of the United Nations
in peace as we'll as in war"
He said the United States was
kept informed about the negotia-
ton leading up to conclusion of the
treaty In Moscow and considered it
AN important step forward" in re-
lations between China and Russia.
