i. ). Pact With Russia
On Korea Still Far Off
Despite New Plan
BY the Associated Press

Prospects Of an American agree
ment with Russia on Korea's future
appear about as dim as ever today
despite Foreign Minister Molotov's
belated acceptance of plan for
getting on with the two power talks.
Diplomatic officials here were
frankly pessimistic over chances of
breaking the three-month deadlock
in the joint commission setup to
work out plans for a provisional
government.
The Moscow radio reported yester-
day that Mr.. Molotov had accepted
Secretary Of State Marshall's pro-
posal that the commission file a
report on it's differences so the
United States and Russia could i'm
mediately discuss steps which could
be useful in carrying out the 1945
Moscow agreement to give Korea
independence after five-year trus-
teeship.
Delay Not Explained.
Gen. Marshall in his note of Aug
ust II set last Thursday as the
deadline, and there was no immedi-
ate explanation why the reply was
delayed. 50
Gen. Marshall is expected to de-
eide on the basis of the commission S
report whether to (a) try direct
negotiations once more or 10 turn
to another course. This could mean
referring the dispute either to the
Foreign Ministers of the Pacific
Big Four or to the United Nations.
The joint commission has been
stalled in its efforts to determine
the Koreans wishes as to their flu
ture government by disagreement on
which groups should be consulted.
Authorities here foresaw no OBJ
vious objections to Mr.. Molotov' S
suggestion that the commission
limit it's consultations to spokes-
men for political parties and social
organizat ions of more than 10000
members.
Try to Pin Reds Down.
American negotistors have re-
peatedly but vainly tried to pin the
Russians down on the point of just
what Korean groups they were will
ing to deal with-aside from the
Communists.
AS for Mr.. Molotov's charge that
American authorities were "perse-
cutting" certain organizations in the
American occupation zone of South
Korea, officials said 1t. Gen John
r. Hodge, American commander, al
ready has announced that those
rounded up we're accused of wide
spread activity of a revolutionary

leaders have been arrested in Seoul

others in the provinces. They were
charged with rioting. attacking po.

U.S.. Efforts to Solve Dollar
Problem of Britain Exclaimed

There were several reasons for
this: Prices went up here; there
were costly floods and billiards in
England; British industry DID not
get back on its feet as quickly as
the British had hoped.
Britain started to draw on the
loan In July. 1915. 1t was expected
to last between four and I'VE years.
But by the middle Of August. l947,
less than Is months later, all of
it was gone but s400. 100000.
In July. when 1t became possible
to sell pounds for dollars. Britain
spent about 100000. 900 of the loan
money-more than one fifth of the
$3.50 100000 she has spent so far.
Appeal for United States Aid.
Finally, their supply of dollars
dangerously low. the British came
to us for help. We decided the loan
agreement would permit the British
to do this:
/. Stop swapping pounds for dol
liars for a while.~
o. oSC eiidt tiibc W kCb Itduf lOI
future convertibility reouests-re-
quests from countries wanting to
swap pounds for dollars. Britain
will now examine all such requests
to make sure she isn't buying back
pounds obtained by these countries
before July Is.
3. Start converting again-but on
a smaller scale.
4. If any nation comes to Britain
with so many pounds to sell that it
may leave Britain short of dollars,
Britain can set a limit on how many
dollars she must give up. But in
each case of that sort, the United
States must agree.
This British hope those steps-and
others still being discussed-wili be
enough to save some of their scarce
dollars.
But Britain still does not have as
many dollars as she needs.
Sir Wilfrid Eady, chief British
delegate to the Washington talks,
was asked If he thought Britain
might be forcer to look for still more
hedp. All he said was:

ASsoetdfe0 PBesS SION writer,
You've been hearing a lot about
Britain's money troubles and about
how the United States is trying to
help solve them.
The two countries agreed last
week on one way of doing that. Here,
in simple language, is what 1t adds
up to:
Britain. still feeling the effects of
the war, needs American dollars
badly. She needs them to buy things
in the United States and In the
Western Hemisphere which she can
not get elsewhere.
She must have dollars to buy
these things because we won't take
any other kind of money.
So last year we lent Britain s3,-
750, 900 900 to help her recover from
the war. We wanted her to recover
because a strong Britain would be
an important market and a valu-
able Ally.
Strings Attached to Loan.
But we attached strings to the
money. One OF them said this:
If after July IS. l947. any Nation
sold products to Britain and got
British pounds for them. Britain
would have to buy those pounds
back with dollars-if customer Ma
tons wanted to swap. Pounds re-
ceived before that date would not
be exchanged.
That was called "convertibility
clause. It enabled countries to con.
vert pounds they got after July Is
into dollars.
We insisted on that because we
wanted other countries to have dol
lars to spend here. too. We wanted
to do business with many nations,
not just Britain.
When the convertibility clause
went into effect some of the coun-
tries receiving pounds from Britain
rushed to trade them in for dollars.
They could spend the dollars. They
had trouble spending the pounds.
because Britain did not have much
to sell.
Fail to Check Date.
When Britain bought back these
pounds with dollars she did not
check on whether the country got
the pounds before or after July IS.
Some countries turned in so many
pounds for dollars that Britain de-
cided they were not playing fair.
Meanwhile, the British were
spending dollars in the United
States much faster than they had
expected.

Ford Raises Prices
$40 10 SGT, Citing
Increases in Costs

DETROIT, Aug. 25.-The Ford
Motor Co., which seven months

world by cutting its list prices,
today was the last of the motor
car industry's big Three" to
announce price increases rang

models.
The increase, averaging ~ per

Mr.. Ford said some of the "sb-

This was because of certain word
