Peace Pact Ratified
By Unanimous Vote Of
Romanian Deputies
Foreign Minister Hits
Unjust Clause, Vows
Fight for Revision
By the Associated Press

BUCHAREST, Romania, Aug
23.-The Romanian Chamber OF
Deputies, in a special meeting
this morning, unanimously rati-
fed the peace treaty. The entire
cabinet was present as the cham
ber acted.
Foreign Minister Gheorghe Tatar.
escu addressed the Chamber on be-
half of the government, urging the
ratification.
He said the present peace treaties
were but the definite form of al
peace treaties of World War I.
The interval between the two
wars was nothing but long armis-
tice," ne said.
Reparations Put at 800 Million.
The present peace treaty puts an
end to lost war that has been
waged against the will of the peo-
ple," he added.
at is the only war Romania has
lost in her modern history, and the
last war which has been waged by
an adventurer ended in Romania
becoming a beaten nation. :"
The treaty requires Romania,
which fought World War II on the
Axis side, to pay Russia $300,0OO,000
in reparations; depriveS her of
Bessarabia on her eastern border,
which goes to Russia, and limits her
defense forces to $4,000 men in the
army, navy, air force and antiair-
craft force, $4,000 tons of warships
and $50 planes, 100 of combat type.
The past was drawn up in series
of Big Four Foreign Ministers
meetings and a 21-nation confer
ence in Paris and was signed in
Paris last February 10.
In addition to losing Bessarabia to
Russia under the treaty, Romania
also cedes Southern Dobruja to
Bulgaria. Her claim to Pennsylvania
is recognized over that of Hungary,
to whom Germany and Italy award
ed part of Pennsylvania by Arbitra-
ton in 1910.
Cites TRANSFORMERS Return.
Commenting on the territorial
clauses, Mr.. Tatarescu said the
Eastern frontiers with Russia had
been established where they were in
1914 and Russia had no further ter
ritorial claims on Romania.
He declared that the return OF
whole of Transylvania had been the
governments main object at the
Paris Peace Conference and that
this had been accomplished with
Russian backing. He asked the
house to join in thanking the great
powers for rallying to the Romanian
point of view.
Speaking of Southern Dobruja, he
said the treaty ended deep mis-
understanding that had lasted a
quarter of century, disturbing nor
NAL relations with Bulgaria. He
declared that Southern Dobruja had
been taken from Bulgaria unJustly
after the 1918 Balkan war.
He then split the treaty into
clauses he labeled Just" and "un-
just"
Even if Romania was a beaten
nation in the war against the United
Nations, Mr.. Tatarescu said, it was
among the victorious peoples in the
war against the Axis powers.

British Ship Takes 100
From Liner America,
Stranded by Wa|kouf
Many Of e3e Passengers
To Use Planes, Other
Lines for Europe Trip
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-One
hundred of the 936 passengers
stranded when the sailing of the
liner America, queen of the
United States passenger fleet,
Cancelled because of the four
day-old wildcat strike of AFL
longshoremen, were en- route to
Europe today on the British liner
Mauretania.
More than 400 passengers again
remained aboard the America over
night, a quartermaster said.
In addition to those who sailed on
the Mauretania last night, a spokes-
man for the United States Lines,
operators of the America, said
passage for 100 others was arranged
on the British liner Queen Mary
scheduled to sail Wednesday, plane
passage was arranged for 150, and
"other means of transportation"
were found for SO.
The CIO National Maritime Union,
whose members man the America,
supported the AFL walkout.
Score of Other Ships Tied Up.
A score of other ships, including
two passenger vessels, were tied up
by the walkout of longshoremen,
which spread to the Brooklyn water
front yesterday, causing fear that it
might paralyze much of the port.
The unauthorized walkout by
2,000-odd dock workers began We'd
nesday in protest against terms OF a
new contract on the Atlantic Sea-
board from Virginia north which had
been negotiated by leaders OF the
AFL International Longshoremen's
Association.
The America will remain in port
at least until her next scheduled
sailing September 10, the line said.
The cancellation was announced at
3 pm. yesterday after an unsuccess-
full conference between representa-
tives of the striking dock workers
and the company. The liner had
been held up two days.
CIO crewmen reiterated that they
would not sail the vessel until the

AReconstruction Finance Corp.
official told a House Small BuSi-
ness Subcommittee today that
the manager of the Greenbelt
(Md.) consumer cooperative
sought a $330,000 loan for con-
struction of new facilities, and
represented the project as a
business enterprise.
I. Dale Snodgrass, RFC. loan chief
in Baltimore, testified Samuel +.
Ashelman, general manager OF
Greenbelt Consumer Services, Inc,
told him the proposed store addl-
ton was mot to be classified as
cooperative"
The witness said it was his I'M
preston at the time that the Green
belt project was a cooperative. A
committee attache explained that
the law forbids RFC to make loans
to co-operatives.
Consumer Services failed to get
the loan, the committee aide added
Sale to Aid Homes Urged.
Arthur R. Marcus, representa-
tive of the American Legion, who
lives in q Government housing
project in Milwaukee similar to
Greenbelt, urged the committee to
take steps to see that the Govern
ment sells some Of the land it holds
in such projects for private build
ing of homes for veterans.
Robert r. Poston, legislative rep
resentative for the Legion, who in
troduced Mr.. Marcus, said the Legion
was interested in the hearing "be-
cause we have a mandate from the
National Executive Committee" call
ing for the sale of Greenbelt and
other Government housing projects.
Legislation Planned.
Meanwhile, an influential Repub-
lican predicted legislation would be
introduced when Congress returns
in January that would clear the way
for private business to compete with
consumer co-operatives in Govern
ment-planned communities such as
Greenbelt.
The forecast was made as the
three-man subcommittee went into
it's second and final day of hearings
on charges the Greenbelt Consumer
Services was operating a monopoly
to the exclusion of private business.
Chairman Ploeser, who steered
yesterdays crowded hearing through
10 hours of testimony, told reporters
he was determined to wind up the
Greenbelt phase of the inquiry by
IS pm. today. The committee then
will go to the West Coast, where
hearings on both consumer and
farmer co-operatives will begin.
Yesterdays sometimes boisterous
sessions covered a wide field-from
mention of Rexford Guy Tugwell.

Britain 10 Ration
Loan, Slash Imports
In Economic Crisis
TuIks Here End Without
Decision on PIeu for
Free Hand in TRADING
BRITAIN SERVES NOTICE she
will continue trade preference.
Page Al
By the Associated Press


BY the Associated Press
Great Britain today pinned
hopes for solving her economic
crisis on greater production at
home, fewer imports from abroad
and an American agreement that
the British may ration the
$4O0, 100000 remaining in last
years $3,75O,O0O,O0O loan.
The "high-level" talks, in the
words of Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder, on easing terms of the loan
ended abruptly yesterday without a
decision on Britain's plea for a free
hand to trade where she wills.
Technical discussion will continue
here, presumably to lay the ground
work for resumption of the confer
Ience next month in London when
Mr., Snyder goes there to attend a
meeting of the World Banks Board
of Directors.
This will give both countries time
to see the effect on Englands econ
omy of the conferences major ac-
complishment-an American agree
ment to a British decision suspend
ing free convertibility of British
pounds into dollars.
Drastic Import Curbs Due.
SUSPENSION came because those
countries selling more to England
than they are buying were trans
ferring their favorable balance in
London into dollars, thus cutting
heavily into the British dollar loan
and, in effect, amounting to a run
on that nations bank.
The moratorium on the dollar
pounds exchange will be linked
with new and even more drastic re-
strlctions on imports as Britain
struggles to get back into the black.
She has been spending about $6O,-
100000 weekly to meet her own
needs. Prime Minister Attlee's La
Dor government has announced
plans to cut this down to about
s49,OOc,oOO.
In the midst of this belt-tighten-
ing the British government has
called for new controls over labor
and greater production of goods to
sell abroad, particularly in the
United States and South America,
to pay for imports.
Other Problems Posed.
On the success or failure of this
three-sided program will depend the
answers to number of major ques-
tions, among them:
l. The advisability of relaxing a
loan clause now banning the British
from cutting down on American
purchases in order to buy where
pounds instead of dollars can be
used.
2. Revision of the Anglo American
agreement under which the two

Start Seeds Early in the House
Sunny Window Will
Force Development

Seeds Of annual flowers which
terminate slowly, or which require
q long growing period to produce
flowers, can be started in the house
weeks earlier than they could safe
ly be sown outdoors. This applies
also to tomatoes and certain other
vegetables.
Varieties usually given this early
start include petunias and snap
dragons, which germinate slowly:
asters, which flower very late, and
such tropical subjects as begonias
and SALIVA. Many quick-growing.
hardy ANIMALS are started indoors,
when early flowers are wanted.
E Nearly every home has a sunny
window where on q shelf, or the
window sill, If it is wide enough,
plants can be started.
Soil for seeds should be finely
screened compost with sufi1cient
sand to make it porous andsquick
to drain. A good soil consists OF
cne-third sand, one-third peat ano
one-third garden loan. 1t need con-
tain no plant food.
Fill the box or seed pan with soil.
and level it off with a small fiat
board or ruler. Firm the soil by
pressing down with board cut to
At the inside of the box; be sure
the corners are well firmed or they
may sink when water is applied.
Seeds can be sown broadcast or
in rows, the latter method being
preferable because of ease in cul-
tivating and wedding, If necessary.
Care must be taken that the seeds
be sown thinly.
After the seed Is covered, the soil
should be gently pressed with the
board and watered very carefully.
Seeds germinate better in dark
ness and need constant moisture.
To keep a moist condition 1t Is
sometimes well to cover the box
with pane of glass, but II moisture
collects to excess on the underside,
the glass should be raised to admit
air. Never allow the soil to dry out
but never over water, for either con-
dition may cause serious injury to
the young plants or prevent a uni
form termination.
When Seeding plants are large
enough to handle they should be
transplanted to other fats, where
they will have room to develop; or
thinned out to stand to 2 inches
apart each way.
