PETROPOLIS, Brazil, Aug. 30.
Here is an outline OF the mu-
tual defense treaty ,Dorked out By
10 nations at the Inter r-American
Conference:
(l). "An armed attack by any
state against an American state
shall be considered an attack against
all of them, and each one under
takes to assist in meeting the
attack"
(2). The American nation or ma
tions attacked may determine the
immediate measures which they may
individually take p" in the right
of collective self-defense,' Foreign
Ministers of all states signing the
treaty, meantime, would consult I'M
mediately on collective measures to
be taken.
90. Collective military defense
measures will be taken in case OF
any armed attack within the secur-
ity zone or within the territory OF
an American state" This would
bring the guns of all American
countries to bear on any nation at
tacking, for example, Greenland,
the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, Can
ada, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the North
and South Polar regions, the Falk-
land Islands and other scattered
hemisphere outpoStS.
%. When an attack directed
against an American state takes
place outside this zone or outside
the territory of the republic in ques-
ton, inter-American consultations
will be held Immediately on mea-
sures "for the common defense" Such
consultations would be convoked IT,,
for instance, American troops were
attacked in the occupation zone OF
Germany or Korea or if Pana-
manian freighter was torpedoed far
out at sea.
Consultation Provided.
(5). "If the inviolability or integrity
of the territory or sovereignty or po-
uUlCdl uluCpCilOCllSC VI oAAy 1A~
lean state should be affected by an
aggression which is not an armed
attack or by any other fact or situ-
alton that might endanger the peace
of America, the treaty nations will
meet in consultation Immediately to
agree on measures to be taken
for the peace and security OF the
continent" Under this article, any
war anywhere, even conflicts not in
volving American countries, could
call for consultation if the situation
was seen as threat to hemisphere
peace and security. Likewise an at
tempt by subversive forces on the
political independence" OF any
American nation could convoke con-
sultation.
90. "In case of conflict between
two or more American states, with
out prejudice to the right OF self
defense, the treaty nations meeting
in consultation shall call on thf

of non-Legion women bought the

arose, squirted back.
Getting a jump on today's huge

many broken, but loud, professions
down Broadway. Some wore gro
tesque costumes. One man wore a
large bearskin coat. Another wore

ried a large, dead fish which he
waited under the noses of passersby.
Present in ample numbers were
jalopies, trucks and wagons, gaily
painted especially for the trip. One
Of the most ingenious was weather

onlookers the machine was capable
of furnishing any type of weather.
But the result always was a spray
of water shot through the top of
the car and large enough to cover

boemi area of West Java, one OF
the many regions which the Dutch
claimed yesterday as under their
control.
In Jogjakarta last night the In
donesian cabinet approved accept
ance of the United Nations Security

Under the italian treaty, the U. N.
Security Council is empowered to
appoint a governor. Until he is
named and for 80 days thereafter,
the United States, Britain and
Yueoslavia are authorized to keep
5000 troops each in their respective
zones.
All five of the former enemy
countries have ratified their own
treaties, which will cost them a total
of 81 ,33O,O O,0OO in reparations. The
United States ratified the treaties
of the four countries with which it
was al war-Bulgaria, Hungary,
Italy and Romania-some time ago.
Pravda, Moscow organ of the
Communist Partys Central Com
mittee, today editorially praised the
peace treaties with the five satellites
as being free of any vestige of
vengeance toward vanqulshed states" p"
The editorial, broadcast by Moscow
radio, noted that the possibility of
entering the Unitd Nations orgniza-
ton opens up" to the five nations
now.
These nations political and
economic independence have not
. suffered, despite the fact that at
tempts of that kind by certain states,
and in particular on the part of the
) United States, took place during the
preparation of the treaties" Pravda
said.
Pravda said ''maneuverS directed
toward turning those treaties into
a weapon of political and economic
enslavement of the vanquished coun-
tries" marked the Paris peace con-
ference.
The Soviet Union, constantly de-
Tending the principles of the inde-
pendence of states, big and small,
exposed and paralyzed such maneu-
vers. The opponents of a demo-
cratic peace were forced to cut down
their Unsuitable appetites.'
The party organ raped Italy,
saying:
The tone adopted by 1talys FaS-
cist elements toward the peace
treaty with Italy and the problems
connected with it is inadmissible."
"Italy's ruling circles deem it pos
sible to sign the peace treaty on the
one hand and to call demagogicaLy
for breaking it on the other. Need
less to emphasize, all that runs
contrary to the interests first and
foremost of Italy herself" the paper
said.

Russia Rejects U. 5. Protest
On Lobau Plant Seizure
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, Aug. 30.-Col. Gen. L. V.
Kourasov, Russian high commits
sioner for Austria, rejected the
American protest over seizure OF the
Lobau oil refinery in letter de-
livered yesterday to 1t. Gen. Geof-
frey Keyes.
Gen. Kourasov said the refinery
was German external asset as
defined in the Potsdam agreement
and therefore liable to transfer to
the Russians.
Later, in a statement read to the
Allied Commission for Austria, David
Ginsburg, acting American repre-
sentative, said: I'm the now famous
Lobau case, 100 per cent of the
shares of the German corporation
were owned by British and United
States interests Not one share was
owned by a German. Yet we have
been informed that the Soviet Union
has chosen to regard these assets
as German and subject to transfer
under the Potsdam agreement.
Russian authorities took over the
refinery August 2.

all veterans a $55 monthly grant
at the age Of 55 and boost the
amount to $50 at the age of 60.
While Legion rehabilitation lead
ers opposed the moves, the amount
of support from the floor surprised
officials and observers. AS debate
on the issue became more heated,
move to adjourn postponed dis
cussion until tomorrow. Adjourn
ment was asked because a large
number of delegates had left the
hall.
Throughout the day, confusion was
the keynote of the session. The
public address facilities were such
that few delegates even knew what
they were voting on. Several times,
proceedings got out of hand as dele
gates wandered around, talked
among themselves or read news
papers.
During an address, DR.. Paul r.
Hawley, chief medical officer Of the
Veterans Administration, hoarse
from numerous speaking engage
ments in the absence of Veterans
Administrator Bradley, had to pause
while order was called Most speak
ers continued hurriedly through
their speeches.
Only once did the delegates keep
perfectly quiet.
That was when Gen. Eisenhower,
undisputed leading. figure of the
conventions parade of speakers,
made his address and urged uni
versal military training and strong
foreign policy.
The Chief of Staff was accorded
a truly spontaneous ovation as he
entered the list Regiment Armory

applauding and whistling, for sew

quickly picked up recruits marched
back and forth in front of the plat

In his address, Gen. Eisenhower
said he sees no immediate threat
of global war, but declared that this
Nation must be ready at any time
to carry the fight to the territory
of any enemy.
The general added, that the world
now comprises two great camps,
grouped around relationships on one
side and democracy on the other.

"that conflicting political theories

Hopes 0uoddyProjeet
Will Be Revived
BY the Assoeiafed Press

EASTPORT, Me-. Aug. 30.-Re-
vival of the abandoned $37, ,000, 600
Passamaquoddy Bay tidal power
project would assure a bright eco
nomic future for both the American
and Canadian shores, Oscar H
Brown, City Council president, said
today.
Streets of this little Down East
community buzzed with comment on
reports from Washington that Pres
ident Truman had expressed hope
that the project-which Mr.. Brown
said means everything to us here
some day be completed.
"The power project would tran
scend all other efforts we have made
for utilization of Quoddy Village
Mr.. Brown said, referring to pro-
posals to establish a Baltic Univer-
sity and a technical training center
for displaced Europeans.
Bids Made to WAA.
Bids for Quoddy Village, a 81 O00,-
900 settlement of $50 dwellings and
other buildings, have been made to
the War Assets Administration by
representatives of both the college
and training plant.
The power project was the dream
of the late Dexter Cooper, an inter-
national engineer, to put the world s
highest tides to work generating
electricity. The original plan was
to include Canadian participation.
Work was begun in 1885, but a
year later, with 100000 sunk into
building village for workers, dam
fill and other work, Congress cut
off funds.
University Plan Outlined.
The university idea encompassing
transfer of Baltic University from
Hamburg, Germany, was outlined to
municipal and Federal officials last
night by DR.. Joseph Koncius, pres
ident of the sponsoring Lithuanian
War Relief Fund of America, Inc.
War veterans would be given first
preference and DR.. Koncius Wis
ualized displaced persons returning
to their native land after study here
as pioneers of democracy and prin-
ciples of American government"
His organization, DR.. Koncius
said, will be able financially to
carry this educational institution
because we raised over 81 600 900 a
year" and war relief services now
aiding students and professors in
Germany have assured they would
increase contributions.
The technical training project
under which displaced persons would
be trained without pay for jobs in
South America, was ruled ineligible
for public benefit allowances by the
WAA this week because 1t was pri-
marily industrial rather than edu-
cational.
