the basic points on which Soviet
American efforts to unity the cur
rently divided country had split.
Russian delegates to q joint con-
ference here, the American com.
mandant declared in his formal
statement, asserted that 80 far as
they knew, no removals OF capital
goods were taking place. and that
in any event 1t was q matter for
regulation by each commander in
his own zone" They refused to
discuss the topic further.
The conference agreed to re-es-
tablish communications and trans
port and permit limited travel be-
tween the Russian-held north and
American-held south. The basic
clash, Gen. Hodge stated, came when
Americans urged utmost efforts to
eliminate all hardships created by
the artificial division of Korea. The
Russians would listen only to lin
tied number of the most urgent
problems.
The Russians did say they ex-
pected to exchange products of the
industrial north for those of the
agricultural south, but asked for
rice-which the Americans would
not release. Americans asked for
surplus electrical power from north
ern plants, and Russians would not
agree. They also refused to discuss
American proposals for free circu-
lation of newspapers or for unifica-
ton of the Korean broadcasting
system.

that the joint Soviet COM
