Congress Cheers Big 3 News On Post-War Unity Proposal
Rv LYLE C. WILSON

Washington, Feb. 13-(UP)-The Roosevelt Stalin- Churchill confer ence report got an enthusiastic cheer from Congress today on its proposal that the United States, Russia and Great Britain be bound in postwar unity as "sacred obli- gation" to the peoples of the world
 President Roosevelt, Marshal Josef v.a Stain and Prime Minister Win- ston Churchill made that postwar compact the foundation of their "re- port and statement" on the Crimean conversations.
 To achieve it they announced they had summoned the United Ma tions to conference in San Francisco on April 25 to draft world security treaty. It will be in the Dumbarton Oaks pattern. The Black Sea con- ferees announced they had reached final agreement on treaty frame work including voting methods.
 Announcement yesterday of com- pletion of the Roosevelt-Stalin- Churchill conversations and of the April conference call opens the ad- ministration campaign to present the security treaty to the senate before hot weather begins to swelter this capital. Final senate action is sought by midsummer.
 Farley At Yalta
 The conferees held their eight-day meeting in Yalta, Crimean resort.
 They said they had agreed on war and postwar plans for Germany. They passed on her a grim cleansing sentence, but assured the German people that they would survive and be fit to live within the "comity of nations"
 They announced agreement on objectives and methods of dealing with most of Europe's political and economic problems - boundaries, forms of government and such. They promised aid to distressed popula- tions and revealed they would inter vene jointly almost anywhere to aid liberated peoples toward desired ob- jectives.
 The report revealed a specific Pol ish settlement based on compromise but in very substantial measuring granting all basic Russian demands, including territory. There were in- stant rumblings of objections to that.
 But overall political and econ- omic plans for Europe were tied firmly to the ideal of free elections and universal suffrage. This latter was regarded as a reassurance to Americans, and especially to the sente, where MT. Roosevelt must soon stand sponsor of security treaty guaranteeing world peace backed in part by our armed forces.
 Some saw an inference in the statement that the Soviet Union is maneuvering to swing at least it's moral strength into the Pacific war against Japan. It was no more than an inference. But 1t was observed that April 25, when the United Na-

The Tiger Offers To Surrender
 In Philippines

MANILA.5 Aus. 27-lP)-Gen- eral Tomoyuki Yamashita "The Tiger, commander of the Jap forces in the Philippines opened surrender negotiations with the Uni'ed States Army from his rnountain hideout on northern Luzon in a letter delivered to an army outpost near Kiangan.
 Yamashita said he had received instructions from Tokyo to sur render and had ordered his sur viving troops to stop fighting. His letter was addressed to Maj. Gen. Gill, commander of the Thirty Second Division, and was brought in by Jap patrol, contacting the American lines through directions conveyed by Gen. Gill in letter sent through mountain lines.
 The fantastic finale to the quest for the conqueror of Malaga and Corregidor resulted directly in Yamashita's action in releasing an American fighter pilot un- harmed. He was Captain Dan Shaw of Poteau, Oklahoma, who returned with the letter from the Jap mountain headquarters.

Argentine "Biq Parade"

BuenoS Aires, metropolis of Ar
gentina, is used to political demon
strations. Yet never in it's long and
hectic history has the Argentine
capital seen anything to equal the
March of Constitution and of Free
dom" through the heart of the city.
Planned by nonpartisan organiza-

Democratic Coordination, 1t con-
sisted OF mass turnout of citizens,
all bent on monster protest against
the military dictatorship which for
more than two years has fouted the
constitution. suppressed elementary
civic liberties and kept Argentina
out of step with the rest of the
civilized world.
The dictatorial clique did every
thing possible to head off the DEM
onstration. Dark threats of violence
and bloodshed were spread and Colo
mel Peron, the ruthless leader who
wields police powers, went on the air
to warn against what might happen.
Taught by bitter experience. the
demonstrators knew they might be
met by cordons OF troops and bursts
OF machine-gun fire. But so mighty
was the turnout that Peron himself
appears to have been overawed. So,
for hours, tight-packed column of
marchers, estimated at 100000 and
drawn from all classes of society,
paraded between walls of cheering
spectators to huge crowd waiting
at the monument to hear the con-
cluding speeches and participate in
the mass oath to defend and fight
for the constitution and the liberties
it guarantees.
What this emphatic cross section

anything to do with ensuing de-

Letters to The Star
Presents Evidence of Growth
in Industrial Production

To the Editor of The Star:
Raymond Moley's column which ap-
peared in a recent issue of The Star
denies the accuracy of Secretary Wal
lace'S statement lin his new book "Sixty
Million Jobs") that every 20 years we
have managed to double our national
production. Mr.. Moley states that: mo
possible combination Of years since 1900
will produce the veriflcation of an as
sumption that the national production
doubles every 20 years"
But on checking up on the pertinent
facts, find the following evidence:
Cd Industrial production, according
to indices supplied by the Federal Re-
serve Board, more than doubled be-
tween 1880 and 1900, and more than
doubled between 1900 and 1920. 1t also
more than doubled between 1890 and
1910 and between 1910 and 1929. The
longtime trend of industrial produce
ton prior to 1929 exceeded 35 per cent
per year, rate which doubles a given
item in 20 years.
Cd The production of finished goods
Tor consumption, according to data pub
lished by the National Bureau Of Eco
nomic Research Gin Occasional Paper
No. -, more than doubled between
1879 and 1899 and more than doubled
again between 1899 and 1919 1t also
more than doubled between 1889 and
1909, and more than doubled again
between 1909 and 1929. The long time
trend in the production of finished goods
prior to 1929 proceeded at rate in
excess of 3.5 per cent and therefore
more than doubled every 20 years
90 Gross national production, includ-
Ing goods and services as estimated by
the National Bureau of Economic Re-
search On Occasional Paper No g.,
more than doubled between the decade
beginning in 1879 and the decade begin
ming in 1899, and more than doubled
again between the decade beginning in
1899 and the decade beginning In 1919.
l md that this annual record is actually
reproduced on page of Secretary Wal
lace's book. This same record of na-
tional production doubling every 20
years / note, also appears in the testi-
mony OF Senator OMahoney before the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit
tee in the Full Employment Act, Part l.
July 30, Page 81.
Secretary Wallace shows that in 1929
our gross national production amounted
to approximately 100000, 900 900, and
tna' with the present average Of prices,
"hlch is approximately the same as in
1929, the gross national product of the
country could be doubled by 1s49 If we
continued this long time record of
growth In our national production. On
the basis of this record, he could in
TACT have said, more than doubled"
1t appears, therefore, that the charge
against Secretary Wallace should be not
that he overstated our past accomp-
lishment and future possibilities, but
that In fact he has understated them.

Prior to the last war the United States
was debtor in international finance.
A debtor can only be solvent through
an excess of exports over imports.
When. after the last war, we became

..a> This Changing World
Bv Constantine Broyn

The sharp issue which Acting Secre-
tary OF State Dean Acheson took with
Gen. Macarthur over the size of the
occupation forces in Japan is regarded
by many unbiased observers as creating
an unnecessary storm.
At no point in Gen. MacArthurs an
nouncementS does 1t appear that he
wishes to interfere with the policies OF
the State Department. He is reported
to be fully aware OF the fact that the
Army Is an instrument for the enforce
ment of policies. And while not chal-
longing the policies being framed in
Washington, he is said to feel that he
is the only competent authority to judge
the size of the enforcement arm.
From available information it appears
Gen. Macarthur once believed that
force of 5000 men would be needed
to bring about the pacincation OF Japan
and the changes needed there to en-
force the political measures envisaged
by the Potsdam declaration. Gen. Mac
Arthur expected good deal Of trouble
from the japanese people and at one
time doubted that Hirohito could get his
people to abide by his orders. But In
all his recent reports Gen. Macarthur
emphasized that the troubles he had
foreseen failed to materialize.
The complete disarmame' of the
japanese Army has proceeded without a
hitch and all the measures aimed at
preventing Japan from becoming an
aggressor again are being enforced The
conquest and submission Of Japan has
been far easier than the extreme opti-
mists dared hope.
According to Gen. Macarthur, the
only uncertain spot in his occupation
plans is Korea. There are several po-
litical factions among the Koreans
which ale said to be ready to jump at
one another's throat at any moment.
Before obeying the imperial rescript
which ordered the unconditional sur
render, some japanese commanders sur
reptitiously handed over rifles and sew
eral types of machine guns to these
factions. In other cases the Koreans
themselves broke into the stores Of the
Japanese Army and took military equip
ment which could be used later as a
political argument"
Since the United States has assumed
the responsibility of policing the south
ern part of Korea until national gov
ernment is formed, the occupation force
may be confronted with a serious prob
lem in keeping order. In the northern
