And So To Bed

The saddest man in Whining
ton last night was that way
because he paused for refresh
ment when he should have
kept on going.
Casing up at the Macmillan
and Cameron service station,
he asked the attendant where
he could buy a Coca-CoIa.
Right across the street at the
police station" replied the at
tendant.
No lover of police stations,
the man decided to do with
out. He drove off in a hurry,
only to be arrested for speed
ing a few minutes later.
Brought to the police station
he had originally avoided, he
shelled out a total of S9.IO-of
which S9.05 was for the speed
ing fine and five cents for the
pause that refreshes.

accused the United States and
Great Britain by implication
o / seeking a monopolistic
position in Italy and the Medi-

AT the same time, discussing the
Italian treaty at a plenary session
of the peace conference, Molotov
put Russia forward in its historic
role of protector of all Slavs by
saying the time had passed when
European nations could divide
slavic nations among themselves.
Seeks Equal Basis
The Slav states, he said, must
be accepted into the banks of Al
he'd nations on an equal basis.

j. ). Outlines World
Trade Views in Plan
To Reduce Tariffs
BY the Assooioted Pres,

The United States took the lead
today in United Nations campaign
to boost worldwide trade by level
ing prewar trade barriers.
In a move TO hasten establish
ment of an international trade or
ganization, the State Department
last night outlined the American
idea of rules that should prevail
BY this action, the United States
became the first country to put into
concrete form any of the many
theories on how the United Nations
should cooperate in the economic
field.
Likely to Be Only Draft.
The American 20,O0O-word white
book" on commercial policy prob
ably will be the only draft charter
discussed when 10 nations meet in
London October Is to prepare for
a later full-scale United Nations
trade conference.
Although Britain and France have
agreed to support the same oblec-
tives, neither country has drawn up
any definite plan.
The United States suggested that
members of the new organization
agree to.
l. Reduce tariffs and eventually
eliminate preferences.
2. Subsidize exports only in "ex-
ceptional cases"
3. Limit the use of quotas on i'm
ports from various countries.
4. Eventually abolish exchange re-
strictions.
s. Counteract the influence OF
cartels and combines in interna-
tional trade.
s, Regulate the disposal of sur
pluses
Soviet Reaction Awaited.
Russias reaction to the American
suggestion was awaited with interest
because the Soviet Union is the only
one of IS countries that has not
accepted a United States invitation
to begin negotiations for tariff re.
ductions some time IN l947.
The long-range objective of tn,
proposals, as explained by Under.
secretary of State Clayton, is tt
provide equal access to the worle
markets by all countries, thus even.

everywhere.
