WASHINGTON, Feb. q up -
Moonshining waned, countertelting

Banned Articles
While acknowledging that ban

from overseas were included in the
seizures, the Treasury cited as
principal causes of the smuggling
increase:

on the eve of his departure to
attend the peace conference in
Paris, took Russia to task for her
intended seizures of industrial
plants in Austria on the ground
that they had been constructed
by the Nazis during the war.
Byrnes declared that the seiz-
ures would amount to confisca-
ton.
Dispatches received here from
London and France stated that
both those. countries would OBJ
ject firmly to RusSia's Selling the
Austrian properties. President
Bidault of France pointed out that
one of the banks that Russia had
announced it would seize is fl
nanced by French capital.
Austria itself is strenuously OPP
posing the Russian attitude. A
dispatch from Vienna said that
the Austrian government, in no
circumstance, would consent to
the removal of the plants from
Austria or their control by the
Russians in Austria.
It was learned today that Rus
STA obtained credit of $780,

planned that Russia will give
