France Tries Rehabilitation On U. s. Finances

WASHINGTON, May 29, -(P) France turned to the renewed job of getting back on her feet, back ed by a loan of one billion three hundred seventy million dollars from the United States.
 The two countries made a num- Der of agreements in connection with the credit arrangement be- tween President Truman and the French President Gouin. it was announced last night.
 French officials estimated that the money would finance at least one year of Frances four-year rehabilitation plan. In addition the United States promises to help France sell her goods here which may mean an ultimate reduction in American and French tariffs on French goods. France has in turn pledged not to raise tar ifs on American goods, and has joined hte United States and Brit ain in their campaign to expand world trade through lowered tar ifs everywhere.

kuskOkwim River 300 Homeless Floods Bethel

ANCHORAGE, May 29, -(R,- The northern Alaska towns of Bethel, and Akiak, and the Civil Aeronauticss airfield are under water, flooded by the water of the Kuskokwim River backed up by ice jams.
 The flOodwaterS rose to a depth of four feet over the central part of Bethel. Twenty CAA per sonnel adjoining the airfield were evacuated to higher ground.
 Across the river from the air field water reached the first floor of the Northern Commercial store and similally flooded the Catholic church. Three hundred residents were forced to take to the roof tops with whatever possessions they could carry.
 At Akiak residents were repor- ted in no danger. Motor launches afforded the only means of com muniCation between the two towns.
 A U. s. Army B-24, from the airbase at Shemya, flew low lver the great ice jam six miles down the river from Bethel, and drop ped several medium bombs in an attempt to break up the conges- ton with no appreciable effect.
 The flood waters which are now receding, reached the crest last night.

No Bloc Against Soviet Russia Says Byrnes

WASHINGTON, May 29, -tP)- Secretary of State James Byrnes denied that the United States and Britain had formed a bloc to in- timidate Russia as charged bySov- jet Foreign Minister Molotov.
 Byrnes also insisted that Prem fer Stalin once agreed to support "a treaty to keep Germany dis armed for 25 years. Molotov challenged earlier, the previous assertion that the Russian leader had endorsed such a proposal.
 Byrnes emphasized the hope that the big four foreign minis ters could iron out their many diSagreementS and complete the peace treaty drafts for six former enemy countries when they meet again in Paris on June IS. He made statements on Russia in an iH reply to a host of questions concerning the lengthy blast Mol otov delivered Monday against Secretary Byrnes and the United States.

Byrnes Working For Limitation Of Arms Of World

WASHINGTON, May 29, -(P)- Secretary James Byrnes, today told Congress that he was going to work for limitation of arms" among the nations of the world.
 Byrnes enunciated his policy in testimony in the House foreign affairs committee where he said the details were not worked out.
 AS he went before the commit tee American officials looked to Moscow for Russian reaction on Byrnes denial yesterday of Molo- tov's charges against him and the U. s. growing out of the For eign Ministers Meeting in Paris. Byrnes denial raised a question of what will be its effect on Russo American relations already strained for chances of an early peace in Europe.
 Molotov contended Monday, that at the recent meeting of For eign Ministers in Paris, the Brit ish-American bloc had waged an offensive against the Soviet Un- ion.

TOKYO, May 29, -tP)-The U. s. today bluntly warned minority groups who seek to undermine democracy and attempting to or ganize the Japanese.
 Just two weeks ago it said just as bluntly, it doesn't want communism in Japan.
 Both warnings came from George Atcheson Jr., American Chairman of the Allied Council in Japan, told a group "We don't want to see the Japanese people once more lined up in columns clothed in uniforms and regiment ed with any kind of totalitarian- ism thought"
 The statement came as he ex- plained to the Council he was unable to substantiate the allega- tions made in the unsigned Jap anese May Day message, which charged that "reactionary ele- ments' interfered in April cleo tions and some of General Mac Arthur's directives.

This exceeds the latest forecast
of an aIl-time high yearly average
of 4,744,000 barrels daily for this
year.
With the exception of 1912, the

percent higher than the prewar de-
mand of 4,369, 900 barrels in 1941

The bureau expects exports to
decline to an average of 415,000
barrels daily next year from 435, 900
forecast in 1916. The boost in over
all demand is thus attributed to
higher domestic requirements-5,-

Krug Against
u. =. Control
OF Oil or Gas

Of interest to the petroleum in
dustry Is the recent announcement
of Interior Secretary Krug, in Chi
cago, that he does not believe in
federal control of the oil or gas
industries.
81 may say to you that my ears
would be deaf to such clamor," he
stated in a speech to the annual
APP convention. read in his absence
by Ralph K Davies, acting director
of interiors oil and gas division and
wartime deputy petroleum admins
traitor
Basic responsibility for conserva-
ton rests with the states, the in
terror secretary said, and sincere
support of conservation efforts at
that level should guarantee that the
responsibility will remain, there
and render ineffective any clamor
for independent federal action"
Industry's best protection, he en-
phasized, Tiles in what you and the
states accomplish in conservation,
because coil is too valuable to the
nation-to permit wasteful practices
in its production handling and use.
Krug urged that the states, the
federal government and the indus
try act with unity and intelligence"
in seeking solution of the nations
oil problems. He said that the fed
eral government already has gone
the full distance in providing IA
cilities for this cooperative action
on the domestic front by setting up
OGD and creating the national pc
troleum council, and that the Anglo
American oil agreement affords
every opportunity for team work in
foreign operations.
The interior secretary devoted a
large portion of his talk to the
import question, stressing the point,
however, that the main target" is
to maintain healthy, vigorous do
nestle position with the answers
to all United States oil problems
being made to square with that
objective"

NEW KIND OF FREEDOM

The United States supposedly fought
a second world war to bring freedom to
the world But what has happened at
home while men were killed abroad? A
worker cannot get job in basic industry
without first paying labor organizations tor
his constitutional right to work.
A returned veteran of four years
standing three years and two months
overseas writes a frank and inter-
esting letter His home is in Detroit. He is
anxious to work and jobs could be had by
the thousand if strike orders did not pre-
vail At such a time, while politicians
wrangle about the passage of fantastic full
employment bills. and the nation is beg
ging for men to work, he writes:
Never drew unemployment cOmpen-
sation before, but decided to now. l got
my union card. Boy, what racket that's
turned into! One guy can't do a thing
about it. The other dQpesp lust sit aPund

shell. it's the union that runs the men . . $
not the men, the unions" y T
And this man fought for freedom for
foreigners. Now he draws unemployment
compensation in Detroit while he is forced
to remain idle regardless of his desire to
work.

'sNEvER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET

Regardless of whether the majority
lef people approve or disapprove of exist
ing proposals for this country to adopt
state medicine, whereby the Federal gov
eminent would become the final authority
in medical care, one great objection to the
proposal cannot be overlooked. State
medicine is opposed by the medical pro-
fession If it is pushed down the Threats of
the doctors against their WILL it cannot
help but result in lowered medical stand
ards. AS one Veterans Administration
authority has pointed out in urging CO.
operation between that agency and the
medical profession, you can't push
good doctor into anything; he must come
in because he wants to be of service. And
that's the only kind of doctor we want"
If this is true of the Veterans Adj
ministration, it is most certainly true of
nationwide medical system. Unless the
system is supported in the hearts of the
doctors who must work under it, it is
doomed to failure.
Medical men have justsone objective;
the highest possible health standards
They do not feel that the goal can be
reached by subjecting medicine to the
control of government. Government inter-
ference has for centuries blocked the
scientific and cultural progress of man
kind. There is no reason to believe that
such interference would bring any hap
pier results now. For this reason alone,
the medical profession can never be ex-
pected to support socialized medicine, and
socialized medicine can never succeed
even in theory, without its support.
