is to maintain our own tradi-

LONDON, Sept. 30 W.g-A
Foreign Office spokesman an
nounced today fhat Russia had
accepted a proposal for Big
Four power talks on the future
Of Italian colonies and indicated
that the talks would open here
Friday.
The Soviet acceptance was
brought to London by Ambassa-
dor Georgi N. Zarubin, who re-
turned last night after consuia-
lions in Moscow.
The spokesman said the initial
sssk of the Big Four representa-
xyes would be to establish a
commission to ascertain the po-
litical views of the inhabitants
Of the colonies-Libya, Eritrea
and Italian Somaliland.
Two representatives were sent
here by the U. S. State Depart
r1ent last June for the proposed
commission. They estimated
that the job of hearing the
wishes of various tribes and po-
1itical groups in the colonies
would take three or four
months.
The conference of u. S., Brit
ish, Russian and French repre-
sentatives will also have to de-

gested that a joint UN trustee

A business recession beginning in
the second quarter of 1948 is pre-
dicted by 80 per cent of the $500
of the New York Credit
Mems Association, according to
the results of a poll released by
the Association today.
Steel and the construction in
dustry were expected by the
credit men to foresee a boom IN
the midst of a slump period for
other industries.
High prices, buyers resistance,
excessive inventories, too little
capital and labor unrest were
principal reasons named in the

propaganda machine.
Referred To Grange
Although Scott did not name in
his speech the farm organization
