RECIPROCAL TRADE:
Pass Neau Act

Termed by Pres. Harry S. Tru-
man "of the first order of impor-
lance for the success of my admins
tration," the bill extending the re-
cipocal trade act for three years
and authorizing the chief executive
to cut tariff levels so per cent below
existing levels was passed by both
house and senate.
BY 54 to 81 vote, the senate sent
the bill to the White House for sig
nature after defeating an effort to
strike the Presidents tariff cutting
authority from the legislation. Be-
cause some duties already have
been slashed so per cent below the
Smoot-Hawley schedules Of 1880 I'M
der the previous reciprocal trade
act, total reductions of rs per cent
will now be permissible.
Though the Republican minority
bitterly opposed the bill on the
grounds that it would countenance a
flow of cheap goods to the U. S. in
detriment to American producers,
administration forces experienced
little difficulty pushing the measure
through as step toward interna-
tional economic cooperation.

UNITED NATIONS:
Chart Peace

With final deliberations of the par
ley marked by concessions to the
smaller countries, the United Ma
tons whipped their postwar peace
organization into shape at San Fran
cisco, with major responsibility for
future stability devolving upon the
Big Five the U. S., Britain,
Russia, France and China. The pact
must now be ratified by member
countries.
Right to air a grievance before
the all-powerful security council bull
warked by the Big Five as perma-
nent members, and the privilege to
discuss all matters falling within in
ternational relations, were the two
prerogatives won by the smaller
nations in the closing sessions of
the parley after Russian opposition.
Despite the smaller nations last
minute victories, however, chief
powers of the postwar peace organ
ization remain in the hands of the
Big. Five, with virtually they alone
able to arbitrate disputes, impose
economic sanctions to bring poten-
tial aggressors in line and call up
the international air, sea and ground
forces to enforce peace. Converse
ly, any of the Big Five could veto
such action.
Creation Of the international air,
sea and ground force under a gen.
eral military staff with regional
branches marked the first time in
history that such an organization
had been established.

Although no peace conference was

Nations postwar organization pro-

the eventual attainment Of self-rule
or independence for so-called Sub

In addition to providing for politi-

Moscow:
Sentence Poles

In a case typical of swift Russian
court procedure, IL of the Polish I'M
foreground leaders charged with car
rying on subversive activities behind
Red army lines were found guilty
and sentenced to Imprisonment,
with three acquitted. Also typical Of
the conduct of defendants on trial
in the Soviet, the accused wholly or
partially admitted their guilt and
virtually co-operated in the prosecu-
ton against themselves.
During the brief trial, the defend
ants said that the Polish under.
ground had been ordered into hiding
by the government in exile in Lon
don and advised to form military
political organization designed to re-
sist alleged Russian encroachments
against Polish independence. Charg-.
ing the Reds with trying to set up a
communist dominated rule in
Poland, the London regime long has
been at loggerheads with Moscow.
Russia's arrest of the under
ground leaders after allegedly invit-
ing them to discuss political ques-
tons first provoked a stir in u. S.
and British circles, with one of the
detectives of Harry Hopkins recent
mission to Moscow being to straight
en- out the tangle.

aluminium is made.

U. s. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson to the effect that If the war is not won this fall America will reserve her freedom of action.
 The paper had plenty about the new German weapon. There is no doubt in my mind that these prom ises of new weapons were to become one of Propaganda Minister Joseph GoebbelS' most valuable instruments in maintaining morale.
 At least a dozen German soldiers told me that the Vi has smashed London fiat. When I told them I saw the first three weeks or so of VI damage in London and that it was primarily a nuisance weapon which could have no effect on the war they looked as though I were a liar. The general reaction was Well, anyway, the feuhrer will have other weapons to do the job if the VI is not enough."n
 These troops eat pretty well at the front with good soups, cheese and sausage plus considerable pri- vate food they carry along in suit cases or knapsackS. I don't imagine the rear areas do nearly as well.
 Occasionally they buy food from the natives but I imagine a lot is just footed.
 After seeing great trainloads of cognac, liqueurs and champagne which we glimpsed on our sweep through France l don't imagine the Germans have any hesitation on principle about taking what they want.
 A guard told me today that Meek lin (John Mecklin. Chicago Sun cor respondent captured with Beattie) was being evacuated from Chau- mont in a column oI marine troops which ran into an American am- bush along the road
 The guard said Mecklin was told to disappear into the woods under the provision of the Geneva con- vention protecting defenseless pris- oners against expesoure to battle danger.
