President Says
.Lend-Lease Aid
To Be Forgotten
By r. III. SHACKFORD

WAS11Nd 1ON, aug. 81. WI -
President Truman indicated Thurs
day that the overwhelming per
ton" Of Alliec obligations for
$4,000 100000 worth of American
lend-leaSe aid will be cancelled.
To addeS42 .OOO,O0OO0O to the al

said in the 20th lend-lease report
tC Congress. would threaten to cis-
rupt political stability and help
SOW the seeds of new world con-
flagratiOn."
This is not new policy. The ad-
ministration. and Congress through
its own reports On lend-lease. never
have contemplated a COllar-for-
dollar settlement.
NOT FOR PROFIT
Mr.. Truman pointed out that
lend-leaSe was not conceived as a
commercial program. He reiterated
that war cost settlements should
avoid the World War l debt CcbaCle
by being based on the rule Ct
quality of sacrifice and equality in
effort"
Thursdays report said that since
1912 the relative financial costs CT
war contributions by the United
States and its principal allies were
approximately equal.
Such a distribution Of TIE finan-
Cial costs of the war means that
no nation can grow rich. or ben
eft unfairly, from the war efforts
of its allies" the report sale.
The goth lend-leaSe report covers
only the period through June 30.
There will have to be a 21st report
to cover the period from July
through VI day, probably next
week, en- which date President
Truman has ordered all lend-leaSC
tC halt.
Through June 80, the total lenc :
lease aid furnished by the United
States was S42 .779.OO0 plus
S783 SOB COO worth Of goods con-
signed to military commanders for
transfer in the field to lend-lCasc
countries This is approximately ID
Ter cent of the 100000 900, coo
spent by the U. S. for war
The latest reverse lenC lease fig
ure is through March 30 $500
364,0O0 OF that virtually all wa
furnished by the British Empire
and $3,777.383 O0O by the United
Kingdom alone.
The British Empire was by far
the largest recipient of lend-lca c
with more than S29, 9,O00.0 600 on
the books against her Lend-lcaSc
exports Of goods not including
services show that 40 per cent or
$13 498. 748 900 went to the United

 Secretary of State Edward R.. Stettinius, Jr., expressed confidence that the world organization would work effectively toward a better life for all men" He spoke at a dinner given in honor of the Ameri- can delegation last night by the other American republics.
 The United Nations conference will end with relations among the nations-especially the big powers on the highest level since the last big three conference at Yalta. The Polish issue appears to be nearly settled. It plagued the opening days of this conference and severely strained big three relations. The big powers have shown here that they can sit around a table and thresh out difficult problems.
 Despite outside controversies and countless other "crises" involving the charter itself, the conference has plodded on to a successful conclusion The disagreements and battles" have been overcome by the calm determination on the part of delegates to succeed. The seople of the world demanded another at- tempt to create a successful inter- national organization; their repre- sentatives here dared not fail.

been revealed piecemeal during the weks of debate. They follow the Dumbarton Oaks plan which were framed by the Big Four last sum- mer, but have been broadened far beyond the hopes of many at the start of the conference.
 The keystone of the new organ ization still remains the coalition of the big powers - the United States, Great Britain, Soviet Russia, China and France. On them will fall the responsibility for keeping the peace. To them will go the special privi- leges iii the organization.
 The most important part of the organization is the security council, composed of II nations with the Big Five as permanent members. It will be the policeman" of the new world order. The members will make available to it vast military forces for use if they ever become neces- sary. With those forces and vast powers to seek peaceful settlements the council will be responsible fol upholding the major purpose of the new organization - maintenance oi peace and security.
 The security council will be con. stantly on the job. It is hoped that with its great powers and resource! 1t will be able to cope with all dis. putes long before they get to thu shooting stage. But if shooting starts, the organization will hav' the means to shoot back - If tn, Big Five are willing to do so.

San Francisco, June 23.-(UP)- The 50 United Nations today com- pleted an ambitious world charter for turning their mighty war-born alliance into a permanent organl- ration to prevent future wars.
 The new 10,OOO-word charter will be adopted formally by the United Nations conference Monday and dis patched immediately to capitals throughout the world for ratifica- ton.
 The nearly 200 delegates will sign the historic document on Tuesday a few hours before President Tru- man gives it his blessing and de- clares this conference adjourned.
 The tedious nine week job here represents the efforts of the peace loving nations-for the second time in a gene-ation-to forge coopera- tive peace organization out of a wartime coalition. Their primary objective is to maintain peace and security for all.
 Twenty-Five years ago at Yer sailles the worlds statesmen created the league of nations with the ob- jective of outlawing war. It failed because of it's inability to enforce it's aims. This time the world or- ganization will be equipped with teeth" to meet force with force, if necessary to preserve the peace.
 But the ability to use those teeth" will depend upon the biz

U. $. MILITARY POWER BEST IN
 WORLD-GREW
BY ROBERT J. MANNING

Washington, June s. (UP)-Acting Secretary of State Joseph c. Grew said to- day that America had be- come the strongest economic and military power on earth and would use it's power Gin the service of law and justice and human freedom.
 The future role of the United States, he told the first graduating class of the Foreign Service Educational Councils school of Advanced International Studies, is one of service and leadership the only role that befits a leading player on a world stage"
 Abuse Means Tragy
 If that power were to be abused, he warned, it might lead to world tragedy. He said the peace might fail if the U. s. were to hoard its power like money in an old sock"
 We should not be afriad to talk about our power as a nation,' the veteran diplomat asserted but we should take care neither to whisper nor to shout about it, neither to boast nor to apologize.
 Our power is a fact. It must be recognized by our selves as it is recognized by the rest of the world"
 Grew said this country's friends abroad fear, not that we will recognize the fact, but that we shall fail to recognize it. would be mot only untrue but mischievouS,' he said, to suggest that American military power ever will be used to threaten the peace of the world.
 We shall use it as we have used it in two world war-in the service of law and justice and human free dom. We are about to enter into a compact with the other peace-lov- ing nations to make sure that mili- tary power-our and their-will be used and used only for that high purpose"
 He emphasized that this countrys $ might and war production potential would be thrown only at ''violators of international peace and justice
 American military prowess, grew pointed out, is the product ot grim necessity but American eco- homie power provides us with s glorious opportunity"
 We know the extent of our eco. I homie power, we know that it car and must be used to strengthen the peace of the world. In the (COntinued on Page 2O

marked with much of the fanfare and ceremony as the opening. Kleig lights, Hollywood settings. a presidential visit and parade, and eager celebrity-seeking crowds will overshadow the solemn ceremonies.
 They will contrast sharply with the plain hard work of the last five or six weeks. Delegates worked day and night in smoke-filled commit tee rooms, debating issues, arguing over words and writing piece by piece what has become the final charter.
 The twice-postponed ending was not without its extra efforts on the part of many. The coordinating committee and the advisory com mittee of jurists met until the small hours of this morning to complete the almost superhuman job of put ting the charter into five official languages - English. French, Span- ish, Russian and Chinese. Each ver- sion will be equally binding on the signatories.
 The language job was one of the most difficult because each sentence. each phrase, each word and each punctuation mark must mean ex- actly the same thing in each lang uage. Once the charter is signed. it will be too late to discover that a certain phrase means one thing to the English-speaking world and something different to the Span- ish speaking peoples.

Springfield, Mass, June 2.-UP) The body of 6-year-old Spring field girl was found yesterday damned into an abandoned icebox in a court behind the apartment building where she lived.
 The child. Hazel Laurie, daugh- ctr of MT. and Mrs. Earl V. Laurie. had been missing since early last evening. She had been the object of "a police search through six states.
 The body was found by Mrs. Mary Gilbert who told police that her own daughter had been imprisoned in the icebox several weeks ago. She said the child had collapsed but was revived shortly afterward.

Drastic Food Shortage
 Foreseen In 13 States

1 New York, June 23.-CUP)-Gov- ernors of 13 eastern states pressed today for swift federal action to re- lease box cars for the transporta- tion of dairy and poultry feed to Atlantic seaboard food production centers.
 The governors in a preliminary report on their one-day conference on the food shortage warned that the northeastern section of the United States faced drastic food shortages unless it could supplement its importation of staples from other sections of the country by greater poultry and dairy produc- | ton.
 Lack of feed grains were blamed for milk and egg shortages in the 13-state area, stretching from Vlr- ginia to Maine. The governors said there was enough grain in the mid west, but railroads didn't have enough box cars to move it east.
 The conference, called by Gov ernors Thomas E. Dewey, N. Y, and Ramona E. Baldwin, Conn.,, named committee of three to put their demands before the federal govern ment. Named to the committee with Baldwin were Gov. J. Howard McGrath of R. l., and Herbert o. Connor, Md.
 The governors said they reached eight conclusions on food preduc- tion and transportation:
 1. Meat supplies will soon in- crease somewhat in the normal sea- sonal process, and meat and poul- try production should be consistent with the grain supply as grain used to excess in that process will de- prive our people of their essential milk, butter, cheese and eggs.
 2. It is imperative that the pres ent production of milk and eggs De maintained.
 3. It will be impossible to maln- tain present production of milk ana eggs without major improvement in the grain supply for the northeast
 4. Grain supply for the north east is improving but is steadily de- teriorating.
 5. The grain essential for the northeast which flows to us over the Great Lakes from Canada and the midwest is not moving in sui ficient quantity. The Great Lakes are open for navigation only dur ing the summer. Every day of navi- gation which passes without the necessary grain shipments builds up greater feed crisis for this summer and the winter ahead.
 6. There must be compleE re- organization of the allotment ot box cars for the transportation of grain out of Buffalo into the l3 northeastern states so that the ele- vators can be cleared for shipment of the grain needed for fall ana winter supplies, as well as for the immediate supplies.
