An exchange of letters between Soviet Foreign
Minister " M. Molotov and United States Secretary
of State George Marshall on the subject OF Korea
shows an apparent similarity Of purpose IN the In

DENYING Soviet responsibility for the deadlock,
as charged by Marshall, Molotov suggested three

His points were:
1. Immediate establishment of provisional Ko-
rean democratic government ION the basis Of broad
participation by democratic parties and social
organizations"
2. Free elections "on the basis of general and
equal suffrage"
g. Aid to the resultant independent Korean state.
These proposals were made to Gen. Marshall at
Moscow April 2O at the end of the unfrutfu Big -Four
conference on Germany and Austria. They came at
time when Washington officials were openly dis

That precaution is based on the fact that failure

The practical effect OF these pro-
visions Is limited by the requirement
that only foreign currencies be ex.
pended. As an example, Chinese
dollars are worthless In the United
States. They are not acceptable to
American shipping lines. A Chinese
student wishing to come here would
have to obtain American exchange;
an American going to China would
have to pay his own passage.

must be given to veterans of the
