Seven Tariff Cut Pacts
In Effect January |

The administration is ready to put
tariff f-cutting pacts in effects with
seven nations on January l If they
take final steps to invoke the agree
ments which were reached at the
recent Geneva conference.
The necessary proclamation was
issued yesterday by President Tru-
man after q sharp exchange with
Chairman Knutson Of the House
Ways and Means Committee, who
reported to the House that the
President is keeping Congress in
the dark" about the deals.
The agreements are with Aus
tralia, Canada, the Belgium Neither
lands-Luxembourg Customs Union,
France and the United Kinkdom.
Thirteen other nations which agreed
at Geneva to reciprocal lowering of
duties on specific products have yet
to ratify the agreements. Conces-
sions to them are held up, State
Department officials said.
Secrecy on Pacts Charged.
Almost simultaneously with the
issuance Of the Presidents procla-
nation, Mr.. Knutson complained In
the House of an iron curtain Of
secrecy" around the trade agree
ments. He asserted that in them
the President had considerably
overstepped" the authority Congress
gave him, and added:
HE is going to have great difn-
Guilty in explaining his actions when
the full impact Of these radically
lowered tariff rates strikes the Amer
ican farmer, toiler and producer" :"
Mr.. Knutson read the letters he
and the President wrote each other.
The Republican lawmaker told the
Executive there are persistent ru-
mors" that "you will sign all Of the
concessions OF the general
agreement regardless of how many
nations will have actually formally
accepted the agreement"
Reads President's Letter.
He told the President neither the
United Nations publications nor the
documents released by the State
Department give any indication Of
which concessions were made to
each individual nation"
Mr.. Knutson said Mr.. Truman
gave him an amazing reply" and
he read the Presidents letter as fol-
lows:
Dear Congressman Knutson:
Replying to yours of December 8,
rumors from reliable sources are not
much on which to come to conclu-
sions.
when the Trade Agreement Act
is ready to be approved and imple-
mented, you will be informed OH
cially through channels which will
have no foundation through ru-
mors."

article covenant, which would be
legally binding on all states ratify-
ing 1t, was 10 to 4, with Russia, the
Ukraine, White Russia and Yugo-
slavia voting in the negative.
The covenant lays down essential
freedoms for all human beings re-
gardless Of race, sex, nationality or
religion.
In a long speech preceding the
vote, Russian Delegate A. E. Bogo-
molov complained that the commits
sion had ignored the essential basic
rights 80 such as the right to work,
to rest, to social security and edu-
cation"

MOVIES

MOVIES
When we were in the service, a
good part of our off hours was
spent In seeing the movies. In
training camp. that was about all
a CT could do, outside of visiting
the service club or drinking besr
at the PIX. And when we went to
town on a pass, 1t was the same
old story-after getting sore feet
walking around town, looking FOR
non-existent excitement = well, a
show for a couple of hours was bet
ter than nothing at all.
Overseas, things weren't too much
different. The shows we're mostly
held out Of doors, the film was a
is nm affair, the sound wasn't
always syrichronized with the screen
and the seats weren't exactly loges
Ito tell the truth, usually one would
sit either on the ground or In his
steel helmeb: but the movies were
welcome relief from reality, ana
best of all, they didn't cost dime.
After the war. movies were even
better, especially in a city where
a regular movie house could be used
for the entertainment of soldiers.
Maybe we're imagining things,
but II struck us that the average
soldier audience wasn't so dumb
for a good movie like Song Of
Bernadette" or STORY of CT Joe"
1t would sit quietly and with con-
centration; for an average show,
there would be polite interest, with
occasional wisecracks and Bronx
cheers at typical Hollywood hero
les; and for a real "stinkeroo,"
boos and bitter hows Of anguish
would be followed by general walk
out. Speaking personally, the more
shows this particular CT saw, the
more they all seemed alike; It
makes US wonder If Hollywood has
more than half dozen plots for
average movie fare.
Now that we're civilians again.
shows at IS cents per head are not
conducive to our steady patronage.
We are comforted by the thought
that most of them aren't worth the
price, anyhow. 1t seems that Hol-
lywood, while still excelling in

where she was fifty years ago in
Eastern Asia. For, under Tsarist
Russia the Sino- Russian agreement
of 1893 was signed which made
Port Arthur Russian naval base,
and Dairen a Russian warm-water
port. The Russian interest in Man.
churian railways at that time was
primarily one Of political expan-
sion.
Came the Russo japanese War
