WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. - ~
Great Britain has begun to spend
part of a recently-granted $780,
600. 900 American loan but only for
limited purchases, Embassy Off
Gals disclosed Sunday.
High American prices were de-
scribed as a factor in the hold
down.
Drafts Cashed
The first drafts on the $500, 000,-
600. advance the United States de-
posted in New York already have
been drawn, they said. But ex-
actly how much has been spent
has not been determined.
These officials, who would not
be quoted by name. said the mi
tial slice of the American credit
would pay for Essential pur-
chases'' such as dried eggs, Amer
lean cotton, motion picture films,
wheat and other food items.
Cut Prevented
All these represent purchases
such as the British made in the
United States during wartime but
which they say they would have
been forced to cut drastically had
not Congress approved the much
debated loan agreement last
month.
Although the next purchases de-
pend on availability Of goods,
these officials estimated that the
$500, 900, 900 installment would last
three to four months under pres
ent market conditions.
High Prices Blamed
Rising prices for carce Ameri-
can products, they reported. are
causing some British economic x
perts to favor delaying large-scale
orders until the cost situation shows
some. signs of levelling off.

A FOR SEASON

CLINTON, Aug. Ain a re-
cent meeting of local ware
housemen, H. M. Campbell was
reelected sales supervisor
of the Clinton tobacco market
and assumed his duties as of
Monday Of last week.
Two new warehouses have
been erected since las, year.
the Bass warehouse en- the
Dunn highway and the Caro-
lima warehouse, located on the
Faison road, which give ap-
proximately 100, 900 square feet
Of additional floor space.
The majority of Sampson
county farmers have harvest
ed their crops and Campbell re-
ports the leaf to be of good
quality and weight. The allot-
ment in acres for tobacco in
Sampson this year was 26, O92.5
acres with an expected yield
of q million pounds.
With labor more plentiful this
season, most growers of the
golden weed planted their full
allotment including the 10 per-
cent increase and with unusual
ly favorable weather conditions
since the transportation of the
plants, one of the most abun-
dant crops in some time is ex-
pected to be produced.

and Roosevelt the characterization
Of the eastern European govern
ments. If that promise had been
carried out, it would have implied
a new, non-imperialist Soviet policy
of building a better life within the
Soviet Union and collaborating with
America and Britain in all issues
arising beyond the Soviet borders.
But this was not carried out.
Whether Stain changed his mind
or was reversed by the Polit-
bureau, the promise was immedi-
ately broken. Within one week of
the termination of the Ya.ta Con-
ference, the grim Vishinsky appear
ed at Bucharest and by open
menaces of force established the
Groza government in Romania.
The story since that time should
be familiar to everyone. At every
international meeting, and when
ever ar opportunity has been offer
ed at Moscow, Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes, British Foreign
Ernest Bevin and other
qualified representatives of the two
countries have repeated the same
warning to Stain and to Molotov.
Soviet policy, they have pointed
out, by dividing the Soviet system
the west and seeking at the
same time to expand the Soviet
at the expense of the west,
was simply laying the foundations
of an anti-Soviet grand alliance of
the western powers. Their warn
lngs have gone unheeded. The
Soviets have persisted in their
policy. And now no sensible OBJ
server at this so-called Peace Con-
ference supposes that the great
issues under discussion are much
more than border disputes between
the two systems, or ignores that the
beginnings of a grand alliance al
ready exist.
Meanwhile there are indications
mat the Soviet policy of military
reconstruction at home and expan-
abroad is encountering diff
cultles in execution. During the
Mlhallovitch trial at Belgrade, for
example, important non-Communist
Eastern European leaders, such
the Bulgarian Minister of War,
General Velcheff, were laboriously
in Mihailovitch's alleg-
ed crimes. This is taken to mean

that in the near future a general
liquidation of personalities not re
garded as dependably pro-soviet
will be considered necessary. The
blood of its potential leaders may
drown the opposition in the Balkan
States. But in Poland, where a
brave peoples major political ex-
perience has been underground
resistance, the position is more
troublesome. Reliable reports indi-
cate that the Polish puppet govern
ment was stunned by the real re-
suits of the recent referendum.
In view of the admitted 40 per cent
vote for Mickolaiczyk, qualified
diplomatic observers put the real
anti-government total at around
70 per cent. That means that Po-
land must be held down by sheer
military forces.
No less striking was Molotov's
recent demand for the immense
total of ten billion dollars of Ger
man reparations from current pro-
duction, which contravened the
Potsdam agreement both as to
the sum and the method of collec-
ton. Since the meeting of the Big
Four Foreign Ministers there have
been signs that although the two
detectives are apparently con
Trajectory the Soviet representa-
tives will seek German Preparations
just as insistently as they seek
opportunities for the communi-
zation of Germany as a whole. The
obvious inference is that the Rus
sian economy urgently needs this
external assistance.
Thus it is believed that there
is little danger of a final clash be-
tween the Soviet and Western sys-
TENS during the next years, while
the Soviets are p1eoccupied with
rebuilding their military strength
and tightening their grip on their
satellites. On the other hand, it
is obvious that when these pro-
cesses are completed, the danger
of war will be appalling if the
world is still divided into the great,
hostile. armed camps. Indeed, war
in the long run can only be avert
ed by a change in Soviet policy
or a surrender to the Soviet sys-
len by the west.
A western surrender, although
it is not impossible in the event
of a failure of American leader
ship, is not considered by the men
of Paris. AS to the chances of a
change in Soviet policy, it is con-
sidered that there are only three
ways in which this can occur. One
is obviously war. One is an internal
convulsion, which will unseat the
expansionist faction in the Polit-
bureau and give the power to the
advocates of the old Litvinoff policy
of collaboration and collective Sc
curity (if any such remain. And
one is an enforced change, which
the masters of the Kremlin might
make if they find themselves con-
fronted with such unity and
strength in the west as to be con-
WINGED that their present policy
was unavoidable and unrealistic.
The next years, and especially
the moment when Stain passes
from the scene, will test the posi-
bilities of a change from within
Russia. Most observers here do
not rate those chances very high,
and some even commended that diff
culties at home will drive the
masters of the Kremlin, in the
familiar manner of all autocrats.
to create further diversions abroad.
If this conclusion is correct, the
unity and strength of the west are
the only hopes of the future.
