Ledse-Lend Extension

By the Associated Press,

A new lease on life for the lease
lend program came into the Senate
today with House injunction that
1t be used only as weapon of war.
Before approving one-year ex-
tension OF the mutual aid device, the
House-largely under Republican
urging-added an amendment speci-
flying that no part of it be used for
the relief or rehabilitation of post
war Europe.
The legislation moves one year
forward the present expiration date
OF June 80, l945, and validates
lease-lend contracts made in that
period until June so, 1949.
Republican members of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee expressed
fears the three-year period would
permit the administration to use
lease-lend in the rehabilitation of
liberated areas after the shooting
stops. 1t was to quiet such concerns
that the House adopted the war
use-only amendment.
The vote on final passage yester-
day was 354 to %. All but of the
% negative votes were Republican.

Selection OF 1t. Gen. walter

he is slated for q bigger job--pos-
sibly as an Army group commander.
The German-born leader Of the
9th Army In the Philippines was
the only Army commander among
nine lieutenant generals nominated
yesterday by President Roosevelt
for the temporary rank OF full gen.
eral.

three Army group commanders in
the European and Mediterranean
theaters-Lt. Gen. Omar N. Brad
ley Of the 18th Army Group, 1t.
Gen. Jacob l.. Devers of the 9Th and
1t. Gen. Mark Clark Of the 18th.
Gen. Krueger's elevation suggest
ed that he is being readied for a
comparable post and that q new
Army group either has been or viii
be created In the Southwest Pacific.
At present, there are at least two
Armies but no Army group in that
theater, where Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur is the supreme commander.
Gen. Kreuger has come up
through the ranks to sattain his
present position. He enlisted dur
ing the Spanish American War and
was appointed a second lieutenant
In 1901. He served in France dur
ing the World War.

In a statement handed the press

answer, in general terms at least.
IT do not for a moment question
Whites right to say what he
chooses, but frankly disagreed

many things we both saw.

understanding between Russia and

Each nation must accept honest and

But each nation should strive to
avoid unfair and destructive criti-
cism of the other. We have got to

two-hour night attack for which
Russians and Americans have
blamed each other, Alexander Ken

ent of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
said today.
The Fortresses, Mr.. Kendrick
wrote, were desperately needed to
support our beachhead operations
in Normandy"
The attack has been kept secret,
he said, although "the Germans
knew perfectly well what they had
done, since after the bombing they
hovered over the field for Is minutes
calmly taking f1ashlight pictures of
the destruction"
Mr.. Kendrick said he saw the raid
with seven other American corre-
spondents who flew to the Poltaya
(Soviet Ukraine) air base to greet
the American flyers. The airmen,
he said, had brought their ships in
that day from their 9th Air Force
base in England. Two were killed
in the attack, he added.
The Russians blamed the Amer
leans for letting German recon-
naissance planes come in on their
tail to see where they landed" he
said. Some Americans grumbled
over what they called lack of ade-
quate protection at the field-and
ground security was the RESPONSE
bility of the Russians"
An editors note preceding the

France Is Expected
To Seek Approval for
Regional Aid Pacts
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

France is expected to insist at the
coming San Francisco Security Con-
ference on revision Of the Dunn
barton Oaks plan to permit military
action against Germany under re-
gional pacts in case Of urgent dam
ger without reference to the general
Security Council, it was learned to-
day in diplomatic quarters.
French reservations, which Gen.
Charles de Gaulle has clearly i'm
piled will be presented at the con-
ference, have been drafted by a
committee of government experts
under the veteran Joseph Paul.
Boncour. They are now being con-
sidered on q political level" it was
learned, and may be made public
within the next few days.
Agreement Is Expected.
Despite these reservations, French
sources believe the De Gaulle gov
ernment's basic policy toward inter-
national security is so similar to
that of the other powers that sat
isfactory agreement will be reached
at San Francisco. Paris Is repre-
sented as ready to play q full part
in the general organization Of world
security, but, because it has been
laid waste three times by Germany
in Is years, Is insiStent on a re-
gional arrangement within the wider
framework of Dumbarton Oaks
which will give it double insurance
against sudden aggression.
Apparently France regards its
mutual assistance pact with Russia,
negotiated by Gen. de Gaulle and
Premier Stain last fall, as the bed
rock of regional security. This pact,
1t is understood, may be bulwarked
by another between France and
Great Britain.
Some Frenchmen present their
concept of security by an analogy
to a three-story structure. On the
first floor are regional arrangements
like the Franco Russian pact which
may be brought into operation in
q matter of hours to stem aggres-
sion. On the second floor they see
agreements with nearby European
nations whose Intervention, while
powerful, may be somewhat delayed.
On the third floor of the security
building they would place action by
the world security council which
would result in unquestionably de-
cisive Intervention by such powers
AS the United States-but only after
considerable delay.
Dumbarton Plan Is Obstacle.
The obstacle facing France in pro-
tecting itself under such a system
is contained in section C, paragraph
2, Of the Dumbarton Oaks draft.
That provides:
"The Security Council should,
where appropriate, utilize such re-
gionaD arrangements or agencies
for enforcement action under its
authority, but no enforcement ac-
ton should be taken under regional
arrangements Or by regional agen-
cies without the authorization of
the Security Council"
Under this provision, apparently,
the Franco-Russian security pact
could be brought into operation
against Germany only after threat
of aggression had been referred to
the Security Council and it had
given the two nations a clearance
to act under its authority. The
French argument is that in these
days of fast planes and robot bombs
the period of delay SO necessitated
might give the enemy time for a
knockout blow.

Allied Trusfeeships
May End Rivalry for
isles Lost by Japs

Rivalry among the Allies for post
war control Of some of the islands
taken from the japanese in the Pa
1cific may be avoided by giving two
|or three United Nations joint ad-
ministration Of such strategic areas
under international trlsteeships, 1t
was indicated today.
The Big -Four" United Nations
the United States, Great Britain,
Russia and China-were disclosed
authoritatively to be discussing pro-
posals for submission to the San
Francisco Conference next month
to set up machinery for creating in
ternational trusteeShips over some
territories taken from the enemy in
this war.
The trusteeships plan would re-
place the League of Nations man.
date system, under which numerous
territories were turned over to the
administration of q single nation
after the last war. Like the Pacific
islands inundated to Japan, most Of
these areas were turned into virtual
colonial possessions by the powers
supposed to be administering them
for the League.
Under the plan being considered,
1t was pointed out, United Nations
trusteeship might be established for
an island taken from Japan on
which the United States, Great
Britain and China all wanted to
maintain air and naval bases. The
three interested countries then
could be given practical Jurisdiction
as three-nation trusteeship COM
mittee for the United Nations.
The question of trusteeships or
mandates, an issue not settled at
the Dumbarton Oaks conversations
here last summer, was discussed
at the Yalta Conference between
President Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain, who
decided that the sponsoring govern
ments for the San Francisco Con-
ference should consult further to
develop specific proposals, it was
learned.
Secretary Of State Stettinius yes
terday held the first of several pre-
liminary conferences with other
members OF the United States dele
cation to the San Francisco meet
ing, which starts April Is.
In another development, Assistant
Secretary of State Will L. Clayton
told the Womens National Press
Club last night that If world eco
nomic security is to be achieved, the
United States must not demand re-
payment of the principal of its war
debts, but must take payment of
the interest on the debts, in the form
|of goods and services"
Furthermore, Mr.. Clayton said.
the United States must make even
the payment of the debt interest
possible by eliminating world d-wide
determinations in trade and re-
ducing tariffs and other barriers to
the exchange of goods and services"
This can be done without impair
ing or lowering our high standard
of living, he declared.
Besides the war debt already
owed us, We must supply the equip
ment and technical knowledge
necessary for rebuilding and de-
veloping devastated areas, he said.
This Is in our interest, Mr.. Clayton
contended, because the only way to
solve our employment problem is to
keep markets for our surplus pro-
duction.
