ILL DACoANH VI eAAS
i conference apparently will
usher in an era of even more in
tense rivalry between Russia and
the western powers. While the Big
Four foreign ministers were IN
session there was some hope, at least,
of compromise. Now the split between
the wartime allies is widening.
Division of Europe into east and
west camps will not lessen that ten
sion. Border incidents seem inevlta-
BILE where spheres of influence over
lap. Major friction points will be at
Trieste, Greece, Iran, Austria and
Germany, among others.
The United States, Britain and
France undoubtedly will bring about
the economic merger of their occu-
patton zones in Germany. That posi-
bilty was discussed even before col
lapse of the conference.
Russia can be expected to weld
eastern Germany into her ring OF
buffer states. Economies of the satel-
lite nations will be mobilized to form
a 'ruble bloc to combat the dollar,
sterling and franc areas cooperating
in the Marshall plan.
Propaganda Barrages
Trade will languish across the new
artificial barriers bisecting Europe
but propaganda will not.
The United States, for one, will
beam to eastern Europeans facts
about the Russian refusal to compro-
mise on German and Austrian repara-
tions. It also will broadcast material
on the suppression of individual lib
critics, forced labor, economic looting
and concentration camps in eastern

Aerial
The 'Droop SnooY

The Navy has new jet fighter, the
Grumman Panther, capable of 500
miles an hour with the quick takeoft
and slow landing speeds necessary
for carrier operation.
The Panther embodies two impor-
tant advances in American aviation.
1t is the first operational plane with
"droop snoot," in which the lead
ing edge of the wings drops into a
high lift contour for takeoffs and
landings. It also is the first US. war
plane built around a British turbo-
jet engine.
The Panther also will use an Amer
lean turbo-jet engine, the Allison
Model 400. About 100 Panthers will
be built. Half will be powered by
each type engine.

The Three One Split
The London conference ended at the
suggestion Of Ills. Secretary of State
George Marshall who declared it
useless to go on" After reviewing
the long series Of disagreements at
the II London meetings, Marshall
said:
"Three delegations have registered
their willingness to take these deci-
sions here and now. The Soviet Union
alone refuses to agree"
The adjournment was indefinite. No
time was set for a future meeting.
If and when efforts are made for an
other meeting, they will be made
through regular diplomatic channels.
The hopelessness of the diplomatic
deadlock became apparent the week
before. Russia refused to bulge on
her demand for ten billion dollars in
reparations from Germany.
The United States and Britain, which
pour more than $700,000,000 year in
to their occupation zones, wanted to
make Germany self-supporting first.
Soviet Minister Molotov retorted that
his country was mot asking but de-
manding" that reparations be settled.
Then he launched into an angry de-
nunciation of western powers, accus-
ing them of making enormous profits
out of their zones.
Icily, Marshall observed that Molo-
tov's remarks obviously "are not de-
signed for serious discussion at this
stage. Such a method makes it
difficult to inspire respect for the dig
nifty of the Soviet Union"

Exports Up
British exports have been boosted
well above 1888 levels but the income
buys fewer imports because of higher
foreign prices.

agreement "in principle" with Russia

tons of corn and other coarse grains
