URGED
FOR HAWAII NOW
Secretary Krug Also Be-

For Other Islands

WASHINGTON, March S - R)-
Speedy statehood for Hawaii and
creation of civil rule for other
Pacific islands were urged today
by Secretary of Interior Krug on
his return from a "a, 000-miie tour
of the Pacific.
Krug, who conferred with Gen.
Douglas Macarthur in Tokyo, said
Macarthur believes that statehood
for Hawaii would help to "bring
democracy to Japan" The secre-
tary said Macarthur had endor-
sed both plans.
Macarthur told him, he said,
that the japanese may eventually
serve as a bulWark against forms

munism.
Accompanied by two California
Congressmen who made the trip
with him, Krug told newsmen:
"We were all greatly impressed
by the development Of Hawaii, es-
pecially by its government. I feel
more strongly than ever that this
is the time for Hawaiian state
hood"
He said he would appear Friday
before the House Public Lands
committee. which has jurisdiction
over the islands administration,
s'to lay out a ase for Hawaii as

Extremists Strike A British Five Times:
MarshallD Doubtful OfPeaceG Goal Plans
SECRETARY WINGS
WAY TO MOSCOW
Byrnes Successor Believes
Treaty For Germany
Hard To Achieve

WASHINGTON, March 5 -Pe
Secretary of State Marshall left
for Moscow today openly express
ing doubt that the momentous Big
Four Foreign Ministers conference
there will attain completely its
goal of writing a European peace.
Marshall, in a statement, serv-
ed notice on the world not to ex-
pect too much. Expressing hope
that a treaty with Austria may be
written at Moscow, he said he. was
Extremely doubtful that the
Foreign Ministers will be able to
agree on any more than basic
principles to settle the much 1arg
err problem, a peace pact to gov
ern Germany's postwar future.
This raised the prospect of a
second conference later this year
to try to break the deadlock with
Soviet Russia over German peace
terms. Some officials have talk
ed Of such a conference, perhaps
in the fall.
Marshall Text
Following is the text Of Mar
shall's statement, which he dictat-
ed to newsmen before his big
special plane took off:
"We recognize the negotiations
at Moscow will be extremely diff
ficult and their consequences mo
mentous.
"The deputies Of the Foreign
ministers have made some prog
ress in drafting the Austrian
treaty. It should be possible to con-
slider the Austrian treaty with
the hope Of completing it at Mos
cow.
1.-THE situation with regard to the
German issues are quite different.
Deputies so far have been only
engaged in listening to the state
ments of the Allied countries con-
cerned, other than the big four.
80 we have to discuss and reach
agreements On great fundamentals
which will be the basis for the
drafting of the treaty regarding
Germany.
IT we are successful in reaching
agreements on major fundamental
principles I would be very much
pleased.
1T would appear now to be ex,
treme1y doubtful whether ar actual
treaty for Germany will be com.
pleted for consideration at this
conference"
