STATE DEPT. SABOTAGE

A significant off the r e or d meeting took place in the State Department shortly after President Truman announced his plan to bring European refugees into the United States by filling up immi- grafton quotas during the remain der of the fiscal year.
 Tine meeting consisted of mem bers of the State, Departments visa office and, although it wasn't said so in these exact words, net result of the session was to sabo- tage the Presidents plan for ad- mitting refugees.
 The State Department officially decided: CD that they did not have enough. staff to handle more immigration visas; CD that they would have to concentrate first on bringing home the foreign-born wives of American soldiers.
 While the White House is equally anxious to expedite the return of soldiers wives, the significant thing about the State Department meet ing was that officials did not con- slider asking for a larger staff to handle refugee visas. Obviously they would have received Tru- mans 100 per cent backing. Their chief conclusion was that the wives of American soldiers were all they would have time to handle with their present staff before the fiscal year runs out on June 30 and they didn't want to enlarge their staff.
 (Note American immigration quotas have never been filled during the war, nor for some time before the war. Thus large number of refugees could be ad- mitted, as proposed by President Truman, without new legislation and simply by using present quotas. * *

 Marines Marine Headquarters states that Marine Corps demobi- lization is now six weeks ahead of schedule. The Marine Corps is now sending IT and 18-year-olds to the Far East to replace Marines with long service overseas. Many letters have complained about the ship ment of younger men to China. However, this complaint should not be registered against the Marine Corps which is only carrying out orders, but against the overall foreign policy of the United States which has agreed with Chiang Kai-shek to keep Marines in China It seems only fair that if Marines are to be kept there, those who have served longest should be re- turned to the States and replaced by younger men.

 MAIL
 There has been considerable delay in delivering soldier mail to Europe and the Pacific. This is due to quick movement of troops, par ticularly in the European theatre, where the APO number is changed rapidly. It is not uncommon for a soldier to have two different APO numbers within a period of two weeks. This is largely because of redeployment and transfer of troops home The Army assures me that it is doing it's best to straighten out this mail tangle.

 When Leahy read the final text of the Moscow Communique, he hit the ceiling. He then burned the midnight oil writing a blunt an alysis of the Moscow decision for the President. He even went so far as to describe Byrpes Moscow agreement as "yeritable Munich.
