What theRussiuns
Are Saying of U.s.:

The MoscoU radio, broadc1sting Il
Japanese to Japan, said
There is no doubt that prob
lens concerning the revival of
Japanese foreign trade should be
settled by the Far Eastern Com
mission. However, the United
States has acted arbitrarily on
this matter and is planning to
handle Japanese foreign trade
in manner advantageous to
American trade.
THE basic American policy in
dealing with Japan is to make
Japan subservient to the United
States both economically and
politically. The United States is
capitalizing on the present eco
nomic crisis in Japan to carry
out her selfish policy. If the
American monopolistic policies
are carried out in Japah it will
mean an end to Japan's inde-
pendence."

New Clash by Russia
And u. 5. Expected
On Korea S Future
Slight Hope Is Held
For American Proposal
To Turn Back Country
By the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 18.-The
United States and Russia ap-
peared today to be headed for
another heated clash in the
United Nations Assembly, this
time over the knotty issue of
Korea's future.
American official sources said the
new American proposal calling on
the United Nations to undertake
observation" of step-by-step
arrangement to give Korea back
to the Koreans was submitted with
only dim hope that the Soviets
would accept it.
Russia's Andrei Y. Vishinsky al
ready has taken the position that
Moscow's idea of pulling out Ameri-
can and Red Army occupation
troops almost Immediately made it
unnecessary for the Assembly to
deal with Korea at ALL
Hopes to Relieve Tension
John Foster Dulles, American
delegate, told reporters yesterday
there remained nevertheless some
prospect of break in the two-yea1
Soviet-American deadlock which
has split Korea into rival occupation
Zones. He expressed belief that
neither government wants to ap-
pear stubborn or unreasonable in
world opinion, and said he hoped
that the newest American pro-
posal would at least relieve tension.
Moscow came forward with the
proposal to wind up the occupation
forthwith after the United States
had placed the Korean issue on the
Assembly agenda last month and Mr..
Dulles suggested that maybe the new
plan would have a further salutary
effect.
Unless it is unduly embroiled in
other explosive Soviet-American
issues, the Assembly's 57-nation
Political Committee may get to the
Korean resolution before the end of
October. Ambassador delegate
Warren R Austin submitted it yes
terday. In the committee it is due
for consideration following the wind
up action on Russia's demand that
United Nations members put curbs
on "Warmonger" propaganda.
Election Is Proposed.
Russia's idea of ending the occu-
patton of Korea before an inde-
pendent government is set up was in
effect rejected by the new American
resolution. The Russian plan puts
the cart before the horse" John H.
Hllldring, American alternate, said
IN a radio statement last night.
The American resolution calls for !:
l. An election in both occupation
zones to be held before next April /
for selecting members of a Korean
National Assembly. Voting would be
under observation" of U. N. special
commission of 10 or IL members.

ment directly on the Taber state
ment, but he stressed that he had
encountered hunger and said that it
was not surprising in view of the
food situation.

in France on September l that
country had grain enough for only
three months, and that Italy was
8 ,000, 900 tons short.
In each of those countries, he en-
