what was intended, because he had
heard Mr.. Roosevelt say at least on
one or two occasions at Yalta that
cession of territory was, of course, q
matter that had to be settled in the
peace treaty.
Mr.. Byrnes' statement today in
sisted there was good reason for
having kept the Yalta agreement
top secret" He said that if the
Japanese had learned of the pact
they would have Immediately at
tackled Russia, necessitating pre-
mature removal of Soviet troops
from the Western front, which
would have made the task of the
American armies that much more
difficult.
Text of Agreement.

agreement follows:
The leaders of the three Great
Powers - the Soviet Union, the
United States of America and Great
Britain-have agreed that in two or
three months after Germany has

has terminated the Soviet, Union
shall enter into the war against
Japan on the side of the Allies on
condition that:
81, The status quo in Outer Mon
golia (the Monaghan Peoples Re-

viz:
la the southern part of Sakhal-
in as well as all the islands adjacent

Union,
"Cb) the commercial port of

"(c) the Chinese Eastern Rail-

z Arab Nations Fight
New York Area Site
As UN0 Headquarters
BY the Associated Press.

/
LONDON, Feb. 1.-Two Arat
states served notice today that they
would fight tc@ the last against New
York as United Nations headquar-
tiers, Iojecting to some political
lir.auences" there.
Iraq and Saudi Arabia both pro-
tested the New York selection as a
special committee of the United
Nations General Assembly slowly
neared the point of voting on a
proposal that New York should be-
come temporary headquarters, with
a permanent site to be picked from
the Westchester- Fairfield Counties
region to the northeast.
The Philippine Commonwealth
and Australia also went, on record
against this location for the per-
manent site. Col w. r. Hodgson
of Australia said the recommends
ton for it had caused a sense of
resentment and injustice through
out the United States"
The Arabians did not define the
political influences they disliked
Their chief concern expressed in
acknowledgements conversations
however, was that New York has a
large Jewish population. The Arabs
and Jews currently are in contro-
versy over Palestine.
French Stand Recalled.
Abdul Mouinm Al-Baih of Saudi
Arabia told the committee, shortly
before 1t adjourned until pm
(EST) that he and others would
like to see unanimous decision or
the site issues. He made it clear
that Saudi Arabia did not agree to
a place with a partisan" atmos-
phere because of the presence OF
particular political groups.
France previously had condemned
New York as place where strong
political pressures would be brought
against UNO, but a French motion
to delay selection of a permanent
site, as the opening stroke against
the pending recommendation for
New York, failed of approval Sat-
urday.
Now before the committee is a
Netherlands proposition to take
New York as the temporary site,
with the permanent location to be
chosen later in the Fairfield-West-
chester regions of New York and
Connecticut.
Meanwhile, two kilograms from
Secretary of State Byrnes, forward
ing bids for the site by West Vir-
ginia and California groups, were
distributed to delegates.
kilgore Forwards Offer.
One was an offer by Senator Kill
gore, Democrat, of West Virginia Of
a site near Berkeley Springs, w. Va,
where he said there was ample
acreage and land cheaper than any,
thing" yet suggested.
The other was a message from 20
California Congress members re-
newing a bid to the UNO to settle
in the San Francisco Bay area.
Mr.. Byrnes said the kilograms
were forwarded without duplicating
the position of the American dele
cation, which has maintained strict
neutrality in the site debate.

 The retail food supply generally was plentiful the past week, and shortages of bread and butter that existed during previous week no longer were evident in many local ities. There was a slight decline in the supply of beef and pork, while fish and poultry remained plentiful.
 With the cool weather turning attention to Fall styles and access ories, women's suits in plaid, neu tral and pastel tones were eagerly sought, the agency said. Interest in fur coats continued at a high level, and demand for fur trimmed, un- trimmed and short coats was irl- creasing. Mems apparel remained in favor, and selection of suits in- creased slightly.
 Dun & Bradstreet reported that home furnishings attracted a fur ther large share of consumer at tention. Waiting lists for household appliances continued to grow.
 Wholesale trade volume, because of the long Labor Day weekend, showed a slight decline from the previous week but topped year earlier.
