No Change On Argentina.
8. There is no change in policy
toward Argentina from that laid
down by former Secretary Of State
Byrnes. There are no United
States restrictions on trade with the
Argentine, except In respect to
expectation of arms and implements
of war" 4
4. The "most important thing" be-
ing done regarding reorganization
of the State Department is "amal-
gamation Of the various co-ordi-
mating and administrative bodies
now directly serving the Office of
the Secretary into single secre-
tariat." Whether any basic re-
organization of the department is
needed remains to be seen. For the
time being, he thinks only some
very simple adjustments are neces-
sary
5. The statement on foreign trade
policy yesterday by Senators Van
denberg, Republican Of Michigan,
and Millikin, Republican, of Colo
RADIO, indicates to the world develop
ment of q bipartisan policy on eco
nomic as well as political matters.
Truth Broadcasts Important.
6. He considers the State Depart
ment's international radio broad
casting service as very important in
an effort to make the truth prevail
over what he termed riot OF propa-
ganda from other parts OF the
world. He believes untruthful prop
aganda will prove a terrific boome-
rang to nations practicing 1t.
Z. He thinks public confusion over
American policy in China has been
caused by emphasis in the press on
withdrawal of Marines. The Ma
rines to be withdrawn were con-
cerned with only a single activity
support of the executive head
quarters truce efforts which had be-
come ineffective. Another small
force of Marines will remain at
Tsingtao, helping to train Chinese
seamen.
8. Discussions regarding American
bases in the Philippines are going
on I'M a very friendly spirit.
9. Provision Of funds for for
eign relief is at the top OF his
priority list Of things needing &C
ton by Congress because the last
of UNRRA shipments probably will
clear by March 81, and starvation
threatens in needy countries the
next month unless money is ready
to continue some relief supplies.
10. The United States is deeply
concerned over the situation IN
Palestine. It is being kept informed
of discussions in London and can
only hope that the contending par
ties will sit down for a peaceful
settlement.
Accepts No designations.
Making clear that he is not con-
sidering now any drastic shakeup
in the State Departments organi-
zation, Gen. Marshall said he has
had Undersecretary Acheson notify
all top officials who had submit
ted their designations when he as
sumed Office that he did not have
any acceptances in mind.
He told reporters that he was very
happy to have found that his work
since becoming Secretary of State
January 81, did not require any
particular change in the procedure
Of getting things done to which he
had become accustomed as war
time Army Chief of Staff.
It was clear from what he said
that he has delegated to Mr.. Ache
son much more authority than for
merly exercised by the Undersecre-
tary. Gen. Marshall's working
HABITS would involve Mr.. Acheson
functioning as deputy chief Of staff.
Plans for creation of the new
secretariat were disclosed in The
Star last Sunday. Gen. Marshall
explained that 1t will be an sex

zation." It will not be policy
