Boycott Of French

SAIGON, Indo-China, Sept. 16
Delayed. - The Annamites of
Southern Indo-C China called a gen.
eral strike today and proclaimed 4
boycott against all French families
in the area, in another move pro-
testing return of French authority
British and French officials said
they thought the crisis would ease
of within the next few days, but
French civilians took q different
view and the atmosphere grows
more tense daily. Hotel Hobbies are
full Of distressed Frenchmen.
Surface appearances indicated
imminent possibility of violent out
breaks in the Annamite- French dis
pute, and reports said historical
French were f1ocking into the office
of Col. Cedile, highest French off,
cial in Indo China at present.
Officials of the local Annamite
government said leaders of the
Vietnam party, controlling native
political organiza ton. were prepared
to discuss Indo-China independence
with Allied authorities, or were pre-
pared to fight for freedom. They
admitted, however, that warfare
would be useless.
British 1t. Gen. William Slim,
commanding general for the evacu-
alton Of Allied war prisoners in the
Southeast Asia Command, promised
British maintenance OF order until
the 10000 japanese in Indo-China

The broad survey Is expected to
affect all major industrial houses
and a majority of the top f1nan-
ciers.
Mitsui actually began the climb to
power as a private banking insti-
tuition which fattened itself by max
ing loans to the victors in medi-
eval battles.
1t still maintains a bank as one
aspect Of enterprises ranging from
cotton spinning to shipbuilding and

Want Trade With U. S.
One of the big industrialist de-
clared today that Japan must re-
establish trade with the United
States and import cotton, wool, salt,
OIL iron, sugar and leather before
it could produce the bare essentials
Of life.
The statement was made in an
interview by Chikuhei Nakaj ima
Japan's minister of commerce and
industry and the nations leading
aircraft manufacturer.
He said it would take Japan from
two to five years to get back on its
feet. He added that a list of raw
materials needed by Japan had been
submitted to Gen. Macarthur.
President Sergio Osmena of the
Philippines told Gen. Macarthur that
the mass movement of occupation
troops from his country to Japan
had brought on crisis by tying up
Philippine docks and truck trans
portation.
Doihara Still ut Large,
Il am sure" he said, you are de-
sirous of doing everything in your
power to prevent the civilian sup
plies situation in the Philippines
from becoming critical even though
1t may temporarily slow up the i'm
fermentation of military plans for
the Japanese occupation"
While the occupation moved
smoothly and the first phase of the
roundup of suspected war criminals
was nearly over. one marked man
remained at large.
1t. Gen. Kenji Doihara, whose
Immediate" arrest was ordered
Friday by Gen. Macarthur, went to
the War Ministry as usual. The
orders had not yet been transmitted
to Japan's arresting officers.
George Atcheson, jr., named by
the State Department as political
adviser to Gen. Macarthur, arrived
here. The veteran of Is years OF
diplomatic service in China later
will become Minister to Siam.

sidering possible sources of add
tional revenues.
Predicts Some Cuts.
Mr.. Cohee's first comment on the
District budget situation was that
the Commissioners, Budget Bureau
or Congress would have to slash
some of the departmental esti-
mates.
Some agencies, of course, ask
almost for the world with a fence
around it," he said. I'VE know
there will be cuts, but at the same
time we recognize that demands
have piled up during the war
years. Many vital capital improve
ments have been postponed because
critical materials or labor were not
available. We now must do some
thing about these problems.
On the fiscal relations issue, Mr.
Coffee said:
1T is my personal view that the
Sc 900 900 lump sum payment has
been niggardly. This becomes more
apparent as the total of the budgets
moves to higher and higher figures
Many Burdens Are National.
Many of the financial burdens
placed on the District are, of course
national instead of merely local in
character and this should be given
due consideration. If We come to
any question of increasing taxes, IL
is my view that q boost in the Fed
eral payment should be considered
at the same time"
One thing which should soften
the Districts problem is the fact
that during the past and present
fiscal years the District has laid
aside $4,000, 900 in a postwor in
vestment fund, which will be avail
able for some of the Capital i'm
provements needed.
This, however, is counterbalanced
in part by the fact that for every
new building. project there must
also be an annual increase in oper-
ating expenses, for personnel and
maintenance. He called attention
to the fact that departmental re-
quests call for nearly 1000 new EN-.
ployes at cost Of about $500, 900

Japanese authority" does not meet
his requirements satisfactorily.
Release Of the directive, titled
United States Initial Post-Sur-
render Policy for Japan" came in
the midst of controversy that de-
veloped here after Gen. Macarthur s
recent prediction that occupation
forces could be cut to 100000 within
six months.
Statement Stirred Protests.
AS a result of fears that policy
misinterpretations might be read
into the statement, Acting Secre-
tary of State Dean Acheson en-
phasized at news conference
Wednesday that the occupation
forces are the instruments of policy
and not the determinants of policy.
This indirect way of saying that
Gen. Macarthur was in Japan tc
carry out policy and not to make IL

which delayed action on Mr.. Ache

sons nomination as Undersecretary
tof State.
Apparently, the White House re-
lease of the policy statement was
aimed at meeting demands from
some Senators for Qualification of
the policy toward japan and Gen.
MacArthur's status as supreme
commander for the Allies.
Regarding Gen. MacArthurs au-
thority. the document states that
he will possess all powers neces-
sary to effectuate the surrender
terms and to carry out the policies
established for the conduct of the
occupation and the control of
Japan"
1t has this to say about United
States supremacy over other Allied
powers in fixing these policies:
Although every effort will be
made. by consultation and by con-
stitution of appropriate advisory
bodies, to establish policies for the
conduct of the occupation and the
control Of Japan which will satisfy
the principal Allied powers, in the
event of any differences of opinion
among them, the policies of the
United States shall govern"
Technical Orders to Follow.
The White House said the general
policy statement had been distrib-
uted to Gen. Macarthur and to "ap-
propriate" departments and agen-
cies here "for their guidance" 1t
was understood that the statement
was designed to supplement tech
nical orders to follow
Admitting that the statement
docs not deal with all matters re-
lating to the occupation of Japan
requiring policy determinations, the
White House said such matters not
covered have been or will be dealt
with separately"
Recent arrests of Japanese war
leaders on Gen. MacArthur's orders
were believed to be only the begin
ming of q wholesale roundup of
militarist big shots by the policy
directive.
1t directed that high officials Of
the Japanese Imperial General
Headquarters, General Staff and
other military and naval officials
as well as leaders of ultra nation
alist and militarist organizations
and other important opponents Of
militarism and aggression" be ar
rested and held for future dispo-
sition."
Japs Must Rebuild.
Among other points, 1t called for
freedom of religious worship, en-
couragement of democratic political
parties and of organizations in la
Dor, industry and agriculture "on
democratic basis"
Declaring that the existing eco
nomic basis of japanese military
strength must be destroyed and not
be permitted to revive" the directive
instructs Gen. Macarthur to keep
out of important positions in the
economic field any individuals not
Working solely toward peaceful
ends as well as to scrap military
and naval production facilities.
1t asserts that the Japanese peo-
pie will have to bear the burden of
rebuilding their war-ravaged econ
omy for peacetime needs and that
it will be necessary for them deep
ly to reform the nature and di-
rection OF their economic activities
and institutions.

ming from northwest to southeast,
from the northern edge of the Black
feet Indian reservation at the Al
berta- Montana border to the reSer-
vation's southern boundary, near
the Pondera-Glacier county line.
This strip Is about 35 miles west of,
and roughly parallel to the Cut
Bank field, which has produced
more than 100000 barrels of oil
from sands above the Madison lime
Beds dip westward from the Cut
Bank field, with the result Carter
and Phillips are expected to drill to
around 1900 feet to test the Madison
lime in the site picked for this test.
In the Rockies to the west, petro-
leum residue is found in both the
Madison and Devonian lines, where
exposed. Northwest, only a few
miles north of the north boundary
of Glacier park, oil was found in
small amounts in several shallow
wells drilled high up in the noun
tains, in Alberta's Waterton Lakes
National park.
In the area in which Carter and
Phillips are now commencing
operations, development has been
slow because of reluctance of
operators to spend large sums
in drilling, based on the rather
iumbled structural indications that
are visible on the surface Carter
and Phillips are moving in only
after lengthy and expensive geo
physical surveys.
